You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 322 The falling snowflakes were as cold as her heart.

"Miss Sanna from the spellcasting group has come to see Captain Kao again!"

After the news spread, a group of soldiers, squad leaders, company commanders, and battalion commanders who happened to be on leave rushed over. They were determined not to miss the exciting monthly program.

All military personnel have one day off per month.

One in thirty people get to rest each day.

They can take turns coordinating, but they must ensure that 29% of the troops are engaged in rigorous training every day, rain or shine, even in blizzards.

Compensatory rest is a rest period taken by small teams.

After discussion, the squad leader and the soldiers decided to coordinate and choose which day of the month they would have time off.

As long as the monthly rest schedule is not violated, you will generally get what you want. If there is a conflict in rest time, the superior will arrange the rest time.

As the captain of the Royal Guard, Kao naturally chose to rest on the same day as Sanna.

However, their relationship was far from the harmonious one typical of siblings.

Upon learning that the brother and sister had arranged to meet in the grove, all the soldiers and officers on leave went to watch the spectacle.

Kao stood on the field, his face somewhat dark.

He wouldn't mind fighting with Sanna, but how did the news leak out?
He coldly surveyed his surroundings, and wherever his gaze fell, everyone instinctively lowered their heads and turned their faces away, determined not to let this supposedly petty captain see his face, especially those belonging to the Imperial Guard, who absolutely could not afford to be vengeful.

Kao remained expressionless. "Just because you lower your head doesn't mean everything's alright. I'll check today's duty roster at the military headquarters and I'll know everything."

"Hurry up!" he urged coldly, trying to finish the task quickly.

"What's your hurry?" Sanna cracked her knuckles and lightly jumped twice in place as a warm-up exercise.

A cold wind swept through the woods, and fallen leaves clung to the branches.

The atmosphere was quiet.

"Sanna! You have to win this time!" Gweil shouted to Sanna, cupping her hands together like a megaphone.

"We'll win!" The girl punched Gweil hard, her face full of confidence.

Gweil was a little worried; she always said this, and every time the result was bad.

"What do you think?" Zelda asked Brenna, one of the two battle witches who were watching.

“I’m not very optimistic…” Swift Brena said. “Yes, Little Sanna can now arm wrestle with Kao after using magic, but to be honest, if I had the same power as him, I might not be able to kill him, and there’s a chance I’d be killed instead.”

“It’s strange. He’s only a few years old, yet he’s been on the battlefield a few times. He shouldn’t have that much combat experience,” Zelda said during the battle.

"Our little Sanna is the same. I don't know why, but her combat experience has improved by leaps and bounds recently. Right under our noses, she is incredibly fast and ruthless during training. Her eyes have changed when she takes action. You would think she has killed a lot of people."

“You’ll have to ask our all-powerful prince what he did,” Swift Brena said with a sneer. “Such a young third-tier knight, I bet if His Highness just let him out into the tournament, he’d definitely get the Star of Valor awarded by the Black Iron King himself.”

"But the title of Knight of the Order of the Arms is probably not as good as his performance on the battlefield. He has the entire Royal Guard under his command."

"So, do you think Sanna can win?"

"A 30/70 chance in a match, but if it's a life-or-death battle, sigh..."

"Hey, it's snowing."

……

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the brother and sister began a physical fight.

Both men were lightly dressed in cloth, with bandages wrapped around their fists and feet to facilitate the exertion of force.

Sanna launched the first attack, swiftly throwing a right straight punch.

As Kao dodged to the side, he raised his left leg and lashed out like a steel whip, the air whistling through the air.

Sanna suddenly bent down, her straight punch was a feint, and she quickly withdrew it. She braced herself with one hand on the ground, and Thomas spun around to kick Kao's right leg, which was standing on one leg.

Kao was somewhat surprised and fell to the ground. Sanna spun around once, then quickly stood up and delivered a powerful downward kick with her right leg in a tomahawk stance.

Kao rolled over in time to dodge, getting covered in dirt.

boom!
The ground trembled slightly, and fallen leaves fluttered down. Sanna lifted her right foot, leaving a footprint several centimeters deep in the hard soil.

Seeing his disheveled movements, a strong sense of excitement flashed in Sanna's eyes.

"Kao, feel the pain I once suffered!" she roared, pressing her advantage against Kao, who had just stood up and was unsteady on his feet.

Bang!
The tree, as thick as a bowl, was kicked down by Sanna on the spot, splinters flew everywhere, and half of the trunk fell to the ground with a crack.

Kao abandoned his underestimation and retreated continuously, dodging and patiently observing Sanna's movements.

boom!
Another slender tree was kicked in half!

The trees in this grove were sparse and slender, giving Kao plenty of room to retreat, but Sanna couldn't wait to beat him up and make him kneel down in front of everyone.

Sanna leaped lightly, reaching a height of three or four meters, and struck down from above with a "Taishan Meteor Fall" attack on Kao.

Suddenly, Kao swung the soil in his hand. Sanna was startled and instinctively closed her eyes to avoid being blinded by the sand. Then she felt a sharp pain in her body.

The meteorite falling from Mount Tai turned into a lightning whirlwind and struck the Sanna plane.

She fell heavily to the ground, writhing in pain. Her keen senses detected someone walking quickly towards her. She gasped, instinctively curling up and covering her head...

The snowflakes falling from the sky at this moment were as cold as her heart, so cold that she shivered.

……

In the evening, Tucker carried the wooden bucket and hurried back to his residence from the department store.

He burst through the door and quickly slammed it shut with his back, keeping the wind and snow outside.

He walked from the living room into the bedroom and immediately felt that the temperature inside was higher than outside.

The wind and snow were howling outside, but the sturdy brick wall remained unmoved. A small gap remained in the ventilation opening of the coal stove, and the honeycomb briquettes slowly and persistently released heat.

The room was both warm and quiet.

Tucker carried the wooden tub to the bedside and said softly, "Look, Laura, look what I brought back."

The pregnant woman sat on the bed, covered most of her body with a warm wool blanket. Her baby, born last year, slept peacefully beside her. This was her second child, and now she was nearing delivery again.

"Why did you buy something again? You haven't even finished using the soap you bought last time."

“This time it’s milk,” Tucker said. “Look, this bucket weighs twenty pounds and only cost one copper coin. It’s enough for you and Richard to eat for several days.”

"There's even a maternity allowance, how can I possibly eat that..." Laura exclaimed in surprise.

“And little Richard…” Tucker explained in a low voice so as not to wake the child.

"Well, well, he's at the age where he's growing."

"Should I buy another honeycomb briquette, one copper coin's worth? Will these be enough to burn?"

"That's enough."

Laura looked at him tenderly. "The free care is enough. This is all thanks to His Highness's kindness." She had never imagined that a pregnant woman could receive such meticulous care.

Childbirth is no longer a scary thing.

"Yes, this is all thanks to His Highness's kindness to you. When little Richard is old enough to understand, I will definitely tell him about these things."

No extra chapters today, let me catch my breath. I'll add two chapters tomorrow.
