Surprisingly, there was no snow in Solstice City today. As soon as Xiayou and Dadalia got off the carriage, they heard the sound of neat footsteps hitting the ground not far away.

Following the sound, you can see countless Fool soldiers standing in a huge square, divided into different square formations.

"The one over there wearing a hood and cloak is the debt handler, the woman in blue with her eyes covered is the lady behind the mirror, and the women holding lanterns are the warlocks of each element."

The young master explained a lot to Xia You at once, and only after introducing all the units did he lead Xia You to the front of the team.

This was a tall, burly man wearing a silver-black helmet whose face could not be clearly seen. This was the "Captain" Capitano whom Xia You had met at the last meeting.

He is a man who attaches great importance to honor.

After listening to Dadalia's introduction yesterday, Xia You originally thought that he would be easier to contact, but now it seems that is not the case.

As soon as the two arrived in Capitano, they greeted Dadalia, but ignored him.

Seeing that something was wrong, Dadalia seemed to have thought of something. He leaned close to Xia You and whispered: "I forgot, the captain may be dissatisfied with you stepping up to the executive position. In his opinion, your

He doesn’t have any honor on his body, and his virtue is not worthy of his place. Let me tell you next, don’t make him angry.”

Xia You nodded when he heard this. He had seen many old-fashioned people like Capitano who paid great attention to honor/qualifications in the company in his previous life.

Dadalia laughed awkwardly, then came to Capitano's side and said with a smile: "Capitano, I'm here today to take the newcomer to apply for his own soldiers."

Capitano tilted his head slightly and said with a cold face: "Hmph! I'm afraid all the honors of all my soldiers here are higher than his? What qualifications does he have to lead the troops?"

But Capitano seemed to have made concessions in order to give Dadalia some face and not embarrass him.

"Tell me about your request, newcomer." Capitano looked at Xia You and said solemnly.

Xia You could hear the dissatisfaction in Capitano's tone, but he didn't care, "I want soldiers who know how to protect themselves."

Capitano seemed a little shocked and asked repeatedly: "Say it again."

"I want soldiers who know how to protect themselves and how to cherish their own lives." Xia You said, looking directly at Capitano.

Capitano burst out laughing uncontrollably. He looked at all the soldiers present and said loudly:

"Your new executive wants cowards. Do you want to be his soldiers? Do you want to be the kind of guy who abandons his glory and is worse than a mouse? If you are willing, come out immediately!"

The atmosphere on the field was very quiet, no one moved, no one wanted to be Xia You's trap.

"Listen up, kid! I don't have the kind of person you need here! Not everyone is the same as you," Capitano scolded in a serious tone.

Xia You ignored his scolding, but looked at the Fools and soldiers present and spoke loudly.

"Everyone! I know that everyone does not agree with what I just said. Maybe some people are already laughing at me in their hearts, but I still have to speak clearly!

The warriors I want are not cowards! In my opinion, before everyone here becomes a warrior, they can first contact the whole world as a 'human being'! Instead of being reduced to a cold and heartless machine!"

Xia You wanted to continue, but was interrupted ruthlessly by Capitano, "That's enough! It's all nonsense! The soldiers of the Solstice Kingdom never need those things! These superfluous emotions will only become a burden to the soldiers.

!

Today! Here! Everyone here! No one will follow you!"

Dadalia looked at Capitano who was so furious that he almost wanted to fight with Xia You. He was about to step forward to comfort him, but he saw three people walking out of the huge military formation.

A Thunder Hammer forward of the Fools' advance team, a Thunder Ying warlock, and a Fire Gun guerrilla.

Dadalia looked at them in surprise, and Capitano glared directly at them.

"Asshole! What are you doing? Get back to the army!"

The three soldiers lowered their heads and did not speak, nor did they go back. Xia You looked at Capitano and said, "As agreed, I will take them out of here. From now on, they are my subordinates."

Capitano laughed angrily, "Go away, go away! Guys who are as timid as mice should stay together!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Dadalia touched Xia You with her elbow and said, "You take them and leave first. I will persuade the captain."

Xia You nodded, "Come with me, follow me from today on."

He took the three of them out of the training square. When he left, he noticed that the soldiers present were looking at him and the three soldiers with contempt.

After leaving the training ground and arriving at a deserted open space, Xia You first introduced himself: "My name is Xia You, the executive officer "apprentice". I will be your boss from now on. You can get to know the rest later. Now it's your turn."

Introduced myself."

The three people looked at each other, and the Thunder Hammer Pioneer first introduced himself.

"My name is Kolya Schneetsvich. I am a member of the ninth company of the Fools. I am here to serve Her Majesty the Queen and the 'Apprentice'."

Next came the Fire Gun Guerrilla Soldier, who still gave a formatted speech.

"My name is Nikolai Schneitovich, I am also a member of the Ninth Company. I am here to serve Her Majesty the Queen and the apprentice."

Finally it was the turn of Warlock Lei Ying

"I am Katarina Schneitsevich. Sorry, I made the mistake of saying it. Katarina Schneitsevna, a member of the Ninth Company, has dedicated her loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen and the apprentice."

"Schenaits?" Xia You asked curiously.

Nikolai was the first to explain: "That's it. Orphans who grow up in the "Hearth House", in the Solstice Kingdom, male orphans will be given the surname Schneitzvich, and female orphans will be named

Schneetsvna."

Hearing the words "Fireplace House", Xia You inexplicably thought of the "Servant's" orphanage.

"Is the director of your orphanage Arecino?" Xia You asked.

Nicholas nodded repeatedly, "That's right!"

"I see. Then may I know why you chose to follow me?" Xia You continued to ask.

This time Kolya answered

"Because the three of us have a relatively good relationship, we are afraid that we will be transferred to different wings in the future, so..."

Kolya was interrupted by Katarina mid-sentence, "We are cowards. The mission assigned by the captain is too dangerous."

"That's not true. I am the only coward. I walked out of the team first and then they followed me." Nikolai's face was full of apology.

Seeing the nervous expressions of the three of them, Xia You smiled with relief, "What do I mean? Don't be nervous. Following me is not like following other executives. I don't have any particularly dangerous tasks for you to do. Just relax."
