Chapter 316: Chapter 5: Delighted to Obtain a Level 5 Clerk Position
Having decided to visit the Ordnance Department, Wang Zhong planned to finish the school's procedures quickly.
So, he scanned the entire tactical training room and asked, “Any more questions? Feel free to ask, my gun is on safety.”
Many students began to laugh. From their appearance, it was impossible to tell whether they were nobility or commoners. However, Maslo Boyev and the group of students around him laughed most uninhibitedly, leading Wang Zhong to surmise that they were of commoner origin.
Students with grim expressions, on the other hand, were gathered around Duke Aleksei Petrovich Valkov–if one was an heir, according to Ante's custom, they would be referred to by their father's title as long as the father was still alive.
Wang Zhong, observing the scene, immediately grasped the complexity of Ante's current situation.
He decided that when the visit ended and he returned to the principal's office, he would have a thorough discussion with Vice Principal Valeriy about the tensions between the noble and commoner students.
Wang Zhong: “No more questions?”
At that moment, Maslo Boyev raised his hand: “General! Did you really kill that many enemy generals?”
“No. I can confirm two that I killed, one that was wounded, and the rest were prisoners taken during a series of counter-attacks I led in November. I haven't killed many enemy generals, but I've caught quite a few,” Wang Zhong replied, then added after a pause, “When we encircle and annihilate them by the hundreds of thousands, there will be even more of their generals taken prisoner. Eventually, we'll also have to capture their Emperor Reinhard.”
Excitedly, Maslo Boyev asked, “Will you execute Emperor Reinhard with a firing squad?”
Wang Zhong instinctively wanted to say that Reinhard would be publicly tried and then executed upon capture, but in the moment before he spoke, he remembered the faces of many who had passed away.
He then recalled a movie he loved as a child called “The Guerrillas of the Plains,” which featured a child who always played with a bullet until the child was brutally killed by the enemy.
The protagonist, Li Xiangyang, kept that bullet until the end of the film, when he finally loaded it into his shotgun.
