Chapter 742. An impromptu invitation
The Calradia soldiers quickly stood up in line with the grinding of their usual training.
Gilbert glanced back at the soldiers, and saw that everyone's eyes were neatly focused on him.
"You promise us to run slower." Able patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Hmm." Only then did Gilbert figure out why everyone was staring at him. Say to everyone, "Ready to go." β
As soon as the words fell, Gilbert stepped out, lowered his upper body, and checked the situation on the ground as he went, bypassing all the plague bombs planted by the snake women one by one.
The speed is still a lot slower than yesterday. The soldiers trotted after him.
"Today is much easier than yesterday." One of the soldiers said happily as he ran.
"It's all because your physical strength is so poor that you can barely keep up. Gilbert slowed down to match yours. One soldier said with a hint of grumbling in his tone.
"We call this physical strength, you know? Aren't you tired of setting up camp? The soldier retorted, "You think everyone is like you stupid big pillar, born with a lot of strength that can't be exhausted." β
"It's so boring now." The taller soldier said with his head down.
When the soldier on the side saw his appearance, he leaned into his ear and said, "I have an idea here, when you rest tonight, you can go and compete with that goblin to see which of you two is the best." Isn't that much more fun than running after him? You don't have to drag everyone down. β
When the soldier heard his words, his eyes lit up and he said, "Okay." But I don't know that little guy very well, can you please help me get in touch? β
"Why do you have so many things to do?" The soldier who made the suggestion said in disgust, "Okay." Help you Zhang Luo, but don't leave me here like today when I march in the future. β
"That's it." The soldier said with a happy face.
"By the way, what's your name? Let's go to the next battle post and have to have a name. The thinner soldier asked.
"Jeb, a recruit who enlisted a year ago." The tall man replied.
"Yo, then I'm your senior. I've been in Dehrim's barracks for three years. The soldier was slightly surprised: "My name is Levin." I just heard the brother next to you say that you were born with this head? β
"Yes, when I was born, I was heavier than ordinary people, and my skeleton was quite large." Jeb said.
"How did you come up with the idea of becoming a soldier?" Anyway, on the way to the road, there is nothing to do. Levine took the initiative to talk to Jeb and struck up a conversation.
"My father originally planned for me to take over the family's fields and help with the work." Jeb thought for a moment and explained, "But after I broke several hoes. My father said that he suggested that I be allowed to join the army, and I was recruited. β
β... I see. Levine glanced at him wide-eyed, and replied slowly.
The two then chatted about the situation at home, and the boring march became much more energetic.
At noon, Abel glanced at the sun hanging high in the sky, and there were still many cases where the sun was seen on the plateau. After running with Gilbert for hours, sweat was already forming on his forehead.
Glancing at the compass in his hand, Abel called out to Gilbert, "Gilbert, stop. β
"Hmm." Gilbert retracted his feet and looked back at Able.
"It's noon now, find a place for the fighters to rest for a while." Abel explained.
"Okay." Gilbert looked around, then walked towards a shady field.
"All the staff stop and rest." Seeing Gilbert finally stop, Abel ordered all the soldiers.
"There are no poison bombs in this area." A gentle word drifted into Abel ears. Able watched as Gilbert rubbed his arm and walked over.
"Got it." Able replied to Gilbert's back.
Gilbert searched for Austinger's figure among the armoured soldiers, and a smile appeared on Gilbert's face after successfully finding Austinger.
"I want to drink water."
Austinger watched as a small figure leapt in front of him.
There was a pause as he raised the water bottle to his lips.
After seeing Gilbert's face, he bent down and handed the water bottle to Gilbert's hand.
Gilbert lifted the water bottle and drank it.
"Are you thirsty?" Austinger asked, looking at him.
Gilbert shook his head. It silently occurred to me in my heart: since the time spent with the Terrans became longer and longer, the eating habits have become similar.
When Able told him to stop, he felt a call in his body: water, water!
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
"Here you go." Gilbert handed the half-empty water bottle back to Austinger.
"It's good to drink plenty of water, you won't be constipated." Austinger smiled and touched Gilbert's head and said.
Gilbert glanced at him and didn't answer.
From the moment Gilbert returned to Austinger, their movements fell into the eyes of Levine and Jeb.
"Hey!" Levin greeted Austinger as he walked in.
Austinger quickly swallowed the water in his mouth and responded, "Hello, Captain Levine." β
When Levine was training in De Herim's barracks, he once took Austinger, who had just enlisted in the army, and although there was not much contact after that, the two were still familiar with each other.
Because Levine is a senior who has taken care of himself, Austinger has always maintained respect for Levine even after being promoted. And call him 'Captain'.
"This comrade-in-arms has something to do with your 'son'. Can you give a chance for the two of them to communicate? "There's been a lot of news about Gilbert in the army lately, and Levine has heard a lot of it, even if he didn't discuss it with everyone. In his eyes: if you want to talk to Gilbert, you still have to use Austinger as a breakthrough. Otherwise, this little guy wouldn't care what you say.
So he came here in the first place with the goal of getting Austin to loosen his mouth.
"Thisβ" Austinger grimaced.
To Levin's surprise, Austinger hesitated. In his impression, Austinger would almost immediately agree to the requests of his seniors or superiors.
Seeing that Austin looked like he was about to speak, Levine quickly added: "Jeb has always liked Gilbert, and it's really not a big deal to find him." β
"Thisβ" Austinger looked up at the stout soldier standing next to Levine and nodded his head, and after glancing at Gilbert, he said, "Okay." β
