Chapter 476
Chapter 476
"Master Rid. Even in a situation like this, 'just winning is not enough'? That's good. Let's give it a try".
Lagarde's words were the catalyst for everyone in the room to say, "That's what we want," one after another.
"Thank you, everyone."
With them, we will surely win tomorrow's battle. ...... No, we will definitely win.
Encouraged by the reassurance of his allies, he said, "Master Rid, I think it's time for you to tell everyone, 'That's it. I think it's time for us to give them 'that' thing". Capella asked me.
"Oh, that's right."
I nodded and looked around at everyone.
"I got you all new uniforms today,"
"Oh! Everyone was excited.
Well, it's a new uniform, but it's just a 'unit badge".
At this, the group members looked at each other and tilted their heads, "Is this a unit ......? They tilted their heads.
I cleared my throat and explained briefly about the unit emblem.
A unit insignia represents the unit to which a person belongs in an organization such as an army or a police force.
The first Knights of Bardia, the old Bardia Knights, are not subdivided into units and do not use unit insignia.
However, the Second Order consists of four major divisions, so we had been considering the adoption of a unit emblem for some time.
It was during this time that the attack on the Bardia territory occurred.
In addition, in order to improve cooperation between the First and Second Order and to strengthen their organizational strength, the Second Order decided to adopt the "unit emblem.
We had placed an order with the Christie Trading Company for the new uniforms with the unit insignia, but since Chris was kidnapped, we were in a flurry of activity and had not been able to confirm the progress.
But while I was on my way to the meeting, the Christie Trading Company's trading company, led by Emma, delivered the uniforms to me.
I would have liked to greet her, but she seemed to have pulled out of the narrow fort early with her merchant group, so I couldn't see her face.
I have made a "certain request" to her for the future, so I guess she is working hard on that matter.
'...... So, the "unit insignia" represents the unit to which the Second Order belongs. It is expected to make everyone's affiliation clearer and improve the efficiency of reporting and liaison in the field."
I heard voices like "Wow~......" from all over the place.
I think most of them probably don't understand what I'm talking about.
Well, seeing is believing. It's better to let them see it first hand. Aria, can you come over here?
"Yes!"
She replied cheerfully and came over to me with great interest.
I received a new uniform from Capella and presented it to Aria so that she and everyone else could see it.
The basic construction is the same, with the Bardia family crest on the right shoulder and the "unit emblem" on the left shoulder.
Perhaps because it was finished in a cooler look than I had imagined, everyone looked at me with a "Oh! Everyone leaned forward with their eyes shining.
It's brother, ....... Master Rid, is this ribbon-like thing the unit insignia?
"Yes, that's right."
The unit insignia of the air force is a bird and ∞ in a circle.
This is it. It means that everyone in the air force to which Aria and others belong can fly freely in the limitless sky. You see, ∞ can be written forever, right?"
I said and drew a figure eight with my finger.
Aria, who had been tilting her head, seemed to have guessed my intention and smiled happily.
Wow! It's perfect for us in the air force. Ribbons spreading in the sky, huh? Hehehe, Master Rid. Thank you for the new uniforms and unit insignia!
"I'm glad you like it. I'll give you all yours later."
'Yes, thank you!"
Aria bowed and returned to her seat.
Looking at the situation, Aria's sisters Elia and Syria, who were also present, were also happily checking the troop insignia.
"Master Rid! Please show us our 'unit insignia' as well.{
Ovelia raised her hand as she leaned forward with a vigorous voice.
Don't do it, Ovelia. You'll see it right after, won't you?"
It was Sheryl, the werewolf girl sitting next to her, who warned her.
What's the matter, Cheryl? You don't want to see it soon, do you?
"No, no. No, no, it's not like that, but ....... No, no, it's not that, but I'm telling everyone to mind their place."
Ovelia is asked back, and she has a cliched look on her face.
"Heh. I'm glad everyone is interested. Let's unveil the ground troops' unit insignia, too. Capella, can you bring it out?"
'Of course, Master".
"Well, it's a good opportunity. Come to the front, everyone."
I called out to them as I received my new uniform, and they got up from their seats and lined up around me.
"Good. Then, I will present it to you. This is the unit insignia of the land troops belonging to the Second Order of Bardia."
"Oh!"
Everyone stared at the new uniforms with interest in their eyes.
It was all about strengthening organization and collaboration, but I never thought I'd be so pleased.
But then I noticed that everyone's brows were wrinkled as they stared at the unit insignia.
'Oh, that? What's wrong?"
"...... Master Rid. I'm sorry to bother you, but is this a 'dragon' or a 'snake'?
He looked apologetic.
But it was Kahlua of the bear tribe who asked me somewhat doubtfully.
"Ha-ha-ha. How could a dragon or a snake have so many legs?"
"Then, this is ......."
The one who muttered as if confirming was Toruba of the ox-people tribe.
"Oh, you figured it out after all? Yes, it's a 'centipede.'"
I should have answered with a smile, but for some reason the atmosphere in the room turned dark.
Was it my imagination?
Everyone's shoulders seem to be slumped .......
"So, but why did you choose 'The Hundred Legs'......?"
Scala of the ape tribe uttered a cheerful voice to break the gloomy atmosphere.
"I'm glad you asked. Actually, ......."
I grinned and told everyone why I had chosen " Hundred Legs" for the unit's insignia.
The " Hundred Legs " have the habit of " never backing down ".
In other words, by using " Hundred Legs" as the unit insignia, it suggests that the ground troops are an indomitable unit that will not back down and will stand up to any strong opponents.
If we trace back to my memory of my previous life, we can see that in the Warring States period, warriors used Hundred Legs as their banner, and they were also regarded as the dependents or messengers of "Bishamonten," who was revered as the god of battle and victory.
It would be a good choice for the unit emblem of the 2nd Knights Landing Corps, which will face various difficulties not only in this battle but also in the future together with me.
Well, Chris and Diana had indescribable looks on their faces when I first told them I was going to use the centipede as a unit emblem.
But after I explained to them the habits of the centipede and the meaning of the unit, they understood.
"It's called ....... It's a perfect fit for the land troops of the Second Order, isn't it?"
I smiled at them, and they all looked at each other in amazement.
Then they exhaled a sigh, shook their heads, or cowered their shoulders.
Here and there, I could hear a few small voices saying, "It seems like Master Rid," and "As expected, Master Rid is an unconventional man.
You guys aren't a little rude, are you?
"Haha. I didn't know what it meant, so I was surprised at first, but I see. Isn't this the best troop chapter for us?"
Mia, a cat tribe member, smiled and said cheerfully, and Gedding, a horse tribe member, nodded his head.
...... Oh, Mia is right. Master Rid, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a good unit insignia. We will show the ...... continent how fearsome we are with this unit insignia in this battle."
Oh, I like that! Master Rid, I too will make the fear of the "Hundred Legs" known."
Ovelia nodded her head in awe at his words, and the others nodded their heads to follow.
"Yes, . I'm glad you like it. I'll give these out to everyone later and I want you to wear them tomorrow, okay?"
"Yes, I will."
After a reverent salute, everyone returned to their seats.
'I'll introduce you to the Development Workshop and the Special Forces . I will introduce them to you as well."
After that, the unit insignia was unveiled and the new uniforms were distributed.
The final confirmation of the mission was completed without incident, and the meeting ended with instructions to everyone to get a good night's rest for tomorrow.
Looking out the window at the sky, I saw the stars and moon shining brightly in the cloudless night sky.
It looks like it's going to be sunny tomorrow.
As I muttered this and lowered my gaze, I saw Diana and Rubens walking side by side outside.
But there was something a little odd about the way they were looking.
The two of them are walking side by side. Deanna is looking away and Rubens is looking pale with a slumped shoulder.
"I shake my head and pretend I didn't see ......."
I shook my head and headed for my room in the fort.
