The young general frowned and looked in the sound.

The owner of this sudden male voice was El.

After noticing the first-class quartermaster uniform on El, the young general's expression became slightly softer.

The officers of the Holy Hillan Empire were divided into two types - generals and quartermasters.

General officers are in charge of battlefield operations, and quartermaster officers are in charge of logistics.

First-class quartermaster officers are already considered relatively high-level officers in the army, so when faced with a first-class quartermaster officer, this young general dare not be too presumptuous.

The young general saluted El, and then introduced himself respectfully:

"I am second-class general Genna Vlar."

As soon as the young general finished speaking, El immediately returned the greeting:

"I am El Bernard's First Class Quartermaster."

"El Bernard?" The young general looked surprised. "Is it the hero Elle in the 'Harm' battle?"

After hearing the young general's words, El was stunned and a look of entanglement appeared on his face.

After a long time of struggling, El nodded with a bitter smile and said:

"If you ask Elle, who saved some people by chance in the Hammer battle, I am the person you are talking about."

"It turned out to be hero El, it's rude!"

The young general stood straighter, which had already stood very straighter.

It seems that this young general also admires and respects El.

"Flar second class." El said seriously at the young general, "Can you let these poor refugees go? These refugees are just too hungry."

After hearing El's words, the young general's face changed slightly.

El continued:

"Hunger is a terrible thing."

"The hungry people dare to despise the power of the emperor, the law, the truth and other things that are insignificant in the face of hunger."

"They just want to survive."

“As you just said.”

"We are troops who come to rescue the West and rescue civilians who have suffered military disasters."

"It's ridiculous that the troops who were supposed to be here to save their swords, but in the end they cut their swords at the people they were supposed to be saving."

"Please give me some face and stop here."

"..." The young general became silent.

He looked at the refugees curled up beside him, trembling with fear.

Then he looked at El in front of him again.

"... The young man knows." The young man finally spoke out.

He sighed lightly and continued:

"Since you've said this, I'll let these refugees go."

"I'm grateful." El bowed to the young general and thanked him.

"Don't thank me, Bernard is waiting. I need to thank you."

"Thank me?" Elle wondered.

"That's right." The young general smiled at El, "One of those people you rescued in the Hammer battle is my uncle."

"I always wanted to thank you in person."

"El Bernard is the first time, thank you for saving my uncle."

After bowing to El, he returned to his horse.

While turning over the horse, he shouted to the cavalry team he brought over:

"Retreat! We're back!"

...

...

After the young general let the refugees go and left with the cavalry team, the refugees immediately fell to El, kowtowing to El with tears and thanking her.

At this moment, Kuci, whose expression had not recovered yet, walked slowly to El.

"Bernard is first...I..."

However, before he finished speaking, El raised his hand in advance to stop him.

"Let's talk about it later. Now I'll clean up the scene first and then continue on the road."

"……yes."

Under the command of the quartermasters led by El, the wheat grains that fell on the ground were picked up one by one, bagged, and then reloaded.

The refugees could only curl up on the side of the road, swallowing wildly, while watching the golden wheat grains sealed into sacks and put them in the carriage.

Since the scenes of being trampled by the cavalry team just now are still vivid in my mind, so no one dares to have the courage to rob these military rations again.

After reloading these spilled military rations, the baggage team stopped stopping and continued to move forward.

In order to avoid similar grain robberies from happening again, Marshal Nikita transferred a lot of soldiers from the combat troops to serve as guards of the baggage troops.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting food, these poor refugees could only lower their heads and hold their bodies, which had been weak due to hunger, and continue to walk towards the distance where they don’t know where they are and when they will stop...

While directing the civilians to reload the scattered military rations, El specially went to see the poor woman who asked him for food.

Kuci's kindness made the poor woman suffer a disaster that could have avoided the past.

El knew very well how terrible the consequences would have happened if he gave food to a refugee, so he repeatedly told Kuci and his subordinates that he would never give any food to the refugees.

However - Kuci, who is one year younger than him, is still too young, and he did not obediently listen to El's orders...

When El went to see the poor woman, the poor woman had long lost her breath.

The face was covered with claw marks - this was the trace left by the rest of the refugees when they robbed the bread in the hands and mouth of the woman.

Almost every inch of the skin was caught in blood and blood, and there was almost no complete piece of skin visible.

And her daughter is not much better either.

Her daughter was also scratched by the hands that snatched food in the past, and was covered in blood and no human form...

The woman had no bread in her mouth or hands. The small piece of bread she had originally planned to give her daughter to eat must have been snatched away by someone.

As for the bread in her mouth, she might have swallowed it, or maybe it was picked up by someone just before swallowing it...

Looking at the mother and daughter who died tragically, El's eyes were full of complexity.

He can't do anything for the mother and daughter while the mother and daughter are still alive.

And after the mother and daughter have passed away, he still cannot do anything for the mother and daughter.

He didn't have time to bury the mother and daughter.

El quietly took off the cloak that was draped on his body, covering the mother and daughter who were torn and unclothed, and then quietly left here to continue to direct the civilians to reload the scattered military rations.
