Chapter 122 Surname
A few centuries ago.

Surnames are something that only nobles have, and they represent honor, status, and identity.

Even today.

A surname is also a kind of honor. A person with a surname, even if he has become an ordinary person, can still hold his head high with pride when attending a banquet of a wealthy businessman.

That's right.

A few short words are more noble than any material adornment, because in modern times, no one can have a surname anymore.

No, it's not that there isn't one.

There is also a most special way, merit.

However, this achievement must be so great that even high-ranking generals cannot match it, and it must even be beyond the level of saving a city.

Save the entire city by yourself?
This is not a heroic biography, nor is it a mythological novel.

It is almost impossible to save a city with millions of people with the meager power of one person.

But it is undeniable that some extraordinary geniuses can do it.

Anyone who can accomplish such a thing that even biographical novels dare not write about can be granted a noble "surname" after the city's three-power meeting.

Foster Nolan is one of them.

His last name was Empire, so as long as he stood on the territory of the Empire, no one dared to point weapons at him.

The same reason.

Using the name of the city of Kareni as a surname means that as long as you stand on the territory of Kareni, even the highest official at the top of the three powers of Kareni cannot openly convict the holder of the surname without authorization.

Unlike medals which can be frozen.

A surname is an honor that any soldier should fight for throughout his life.

It cannot be frozen, it cannot be reclaimed, it cannot be violated.

A hundred years later, perhaps someone will forget the medal holder, but the hero who takes the city as his surname will surely be engraved in the city’s history and will be immortal.

And this honor.

Even the lord of the city of Kareni did not get it.

This is why Georgia was so surprised that he was speechless. If this man named Vega was given this honor, it would mean that in the city of Kareni, even the three most powerful people among them would at least not be able to target him openly.

That's right.

Even if it cannot be targeted openly, it is already terrifying.

He looked at Foster again, but Foster was not prepared to make any explanation. He had narrowed his eyes and didn't seem to worry that Georgia would not stamp the document.

"Ugh!"

Georgia shook his head. He now needed Foster's help, and he had to agree to the other party's request.

Pick up the city lord's official seal.

Georgia stamped a bright red pattern on the document. Even he was a little envious and jealous of the lieutenant named Vega. He dreamed of getting the last name of Kareni.

Because he got a surname named after the city.

Putting aside the privileges within the city, even if you leave Kareni, when others hear your last name, they will respect you, because behind you stands the entire city!

The way to acquire the Kareni surname is simple.

As long as one's merits are high enough to save the city by oneself, and then obtain the consent of the two highest officials among the three powers, one can obtain this surname.

But just the first step is something that almost no one can do.

----

the next day.

Vega put on his familiar military uniform and came to the A91 Brigade headquarters.

Brigade A91 is a newly organized standard brigade with a total of 6000 soldiers and 432 officers. The unit has three standard regiments, a direct professional brigade, and a direct mage squad.

However, except for officers, mages and professionals, no other systematic training was carried out.

Vega was temporarily assigned to be the captain of a professional brigade. The brigade consisted of three squadrons and 3 professionals. The average rank of the brigade was around level 120 apprentice professionals. But this was enough.

With such a large team of professionals, even if facing an enemy with 10 times, 20 times or 30 times the number, they can crush it in an instant, provided that the other side does not have any professionals.

"Hello, sir!"

As soon as Vega stood on the command platform in the parade ground, the people below stood at attention and greeted him.

Apparently they had been notified that an airborne officer would serve as their captain today.

But what they didn't expect was that this commander was actually the wanted criminal Vega.

That's right.

At this time, Vega's wanted notice was still posted at the gate of the military camp.

Although everyone was confused, no one stood up to raise questions.

Because Vega was able to stand here, it was obviously the order of his superiors, and they were not cannon fodder soldiers who disobeyed discipline. They had to keep in mind that they needed to obey the orders of their superiors.

"Everyone."

Vega looked around at the 120 professional soldiers below him and said, "From today on, I will be your commander. In order to deepen our mutual understanding, before the training, please introduce yourselves one by one."

"clear."

"Very well, let's start with you."

Vega pointed his right hand at the first soldier in the line.

"Reporting to the captain, we are from the 7th squad, and we have Jackson, a level 5 apprentice who is good at swordsmanship."

"Reporting to the captain, we are the second team, the lower-level professional Ingrus, who is good at tracking."

"Report to the captain..."

The introduction of the professional team can tell everyone their strength in the simplest words. At the beginning of its formation, they were even required to repeat their self-introductions twice a day so that every team member would remember their own strength.

ten minutes later.

After everyone had been introduced, Vega nodded and said, "Very good, then let's start today's daily training. Everything will be fine as usual."

The training of the professional team is mostly combat.

The first is individual confrontation, and the second is team confrontation.

The purpose of this training is to deepen mutual understanding and to be able to deal with all situations tacitly in battle.

"Report."

Just as Vega was about to step down from the command platform, a soldier suddenly reported loudly.

"I remember your name is Ingrusius, what's going on?"

My name was actually called out?

Ingrus had never expected that Vega had remembered his name. He felt respected, so he straightened his body and said, “Captain, you haven’t introduced yourself yet.”

"Ingrushu, I remember you are good at tracking?"

"Captain, yes."

Vega snorted. “Didn’t you see the huge wanted notice on the gate of the barracks? Your training today is cancelled. I will punish you by copying the wanted notice 500 times. I will check it tomorrow.”

Say so.

Vega walked towards the headquarters.

He would not forget that he received an order from the commander-in-chief last night to report to the headquarters before 10 o'clock today.

Vega had just walked a short distance when he heard a burst of laughter from behind him, and Ingrosh was already stunned where he was.

But precisely because of what Vega said, everyone had a better impression of Vega.

Even ordinary people would try their best to cover up their shortcomings, but as a leader, he doesn't care at all about his subordinates talking about his flaws. This style of behavior alone makes everyone feel that Vega is at least a reliable leader.
