After defeating the enemy general Tyrell, he thought he was going to have a decisive battle with General Clyde, but was told by Lieutenant General Gugain that this was as far as he would go.
He said, "I don't need to use you against a man with no arms and legs.
"Does that mean you're getting some recognition?"
"That's it? I'm glad I'm not the type to take all the credit."
Awen and I left the Cologne front and went back to Lindo Castle.
There we met up with our classmates from the training school for the first time in a long time.
"It's been a long time! I'm so glad you're back safe and sound!"
"Oh, Merilia. Thanks to you.
"Hmm. I heard you had a rough night. I'd like to hear what you were doing.
"I heard that Salas was also very active."
They both made second lieutenant after serving in their respective theaters of war.
The guys from the training school are cadets.
It is true that one becomes an Ensign after an officer-in-training, but it is unusual to see so many of them at such a fast pace.
My promotion to the second grade was the most unusual of all.
"I heard you became a lieutenant. What do you think? How do you feel now?"
Merilia asks jokingly.
"I don't really feel it."
It's not official yet, it's just been passed down verbally.
"Hmm. But what in the world did you do to become a lieutenant in such a short period of time? Well, of course, it was the Cologne front, so just getting back alive might be a medal."
"Rumors of the Cologne front were always coming our way. But I heard that there was an enemy general and his four able generals under his command there. How did they gain the upper hand in the battle?"
Merilia and Salas's question was answered by Awen.
