The 59th Chapter of The Imperial Army's Small Soldier Volume One

  The coastal defense zone of the Strait has increased its checkpoints and strengthened its inspections, especially in the large military camps stationed along the border, where security is extremely tight. Without General Robert's token, no officer or soldier is allowed to leave the camp privately, and violators will be executed without pardon.

  News of the Emperor's illness spread like wildfire, rapidly spreading throughout the country and major empires. The imperial situation was on the verge of eruption. For the safety of the border, General Robert had been restless for a while, worried and depressed, feeling suffocated and unhappy.

  Julia's approaching wedding brought some comfort to General Robert, but thinking of Somat guarding the Sea Valley Pass, he couldn't help but sigh with worry.

  "Alas... Somat, Somat, why are you always so disappointing? The Str family has always wanted to have command of the Xia Hai Guan and Hai Gu Guan military camps, and they've been eyeing the Baili border line covetously. And yet, you actually secretly sent troops to support them. Are you trying to rebel?! You..." In the study of the General's residence in the Xia Hai Guan border defense garrison, General Robert muttered to himself, his eyes streaming with tears, overcome with sorrow.

  "Bang bang..." At this moment, a light and rhythmic knock on the door came from outside.

  "Rennes, you've arrived! Come in quickly!" General Robert hastily wiped away his tears, adjusted his clothes, opened the door and called out.

  It was already late at night, and Rayne walked in nervously, his heart racing. When the door was quietly closed behind him, the soft sound still made him jump. He looked at General Robert's serious expression and smiled awkwardly.

  "General Robert, you summoned me in the middle of the night, what is it that you want?" Rayne asked hastily, his composure restored.

  After General Robert closed the door, he listened to Raine's questions and did not respond immediately. Instead, he pointed to a nearby chair and asked him to sit down first. Then he personally poured water and made tea, making Raine feel honored, although he kept saying "it's not necessary, it's not necessary". However, General Robert still bowed his head and continued to busy himself.

  "Alas... Uncle Robert, what is it that you need me for? Whatever it is that I, Rain, can do, I will certainly go through fire and water for you, without hesitation." Rain was extremely perplexed, he quickly stood up, saluted, and said anxiously.

  "Renn, calm down, sit!" General Robert said with a slight smile, waving his hand to signal him to sit.

  "Ah, Reyn, I've fought on the battlefield for decades, with great military achievements, but in the end, I'm stuck guarding the border for over a decade... Alas, life is unpredictable, full of ups and downs. In recent years, I often think of your father, he... Ah, never mind, I've met countless people in my lifetime, Reyn, you're a rare talent in the empire, what a pity... Ah..." Robert General continued to talk incessantly, but Reyn listened more and more confused, still wondering why Robert General had summoned him, his heart filled with doubts, his expression growing uneasy.

  “…my old illness has relapsed, and I don’t have much time left. What I worry about most is Julia, as well as her two older brothers. Alas, Somart is becoming more and more arrogant and unreasonable, to the point where he doesn’t even listen to my advice. For the sake of the future of the Kain family, I hope you can help them more...” General Robert continued, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

  "Uncle Robert, you're serious? I'm just a small soldier of the empire, how can I bear such a heavy responsibility? Besides, Somat and Franster brothers are both generals of the Canyon Pass, I..." Rayn said excitedly, interrupting General Robert's words.

  "Rhein, Somat has a deep prejudice against you, I know that. He even used despicable methods to sabotage your relationship with Yulia, which I also know about. He's been blinded by the interests of the Str family and for his own career, he actually wants to offer his own younger sister to Prince Cardore of the Str family. And he even secretly dispatched troops to Ditu to support the Str family... Alas..." General Robert let out a long sigh, no longer speaking, silently lowering his head, holding his cup with hands that were slightly trembling.

  "Uncle Robert, I'm listening. What is it? What can I do for you?" Rain asked very seriously, standing up from his seat again.

  General Robert nodded in satisfaction, then began to hand over to Laine, who listened carefully at this time, with a particularly complex expression and a more solemn tone.

  "Don't worry, Uncle Robert, I guarantee to complete the task!" Rayn said solemnly. After that, the two of them chatted for a long time before Rayn bid farewell and returned to his own residence.

  Lying on the comfortable bed, Rayne was filled with emotions, carefully recalling General Robert's words and slowly savoring them.

  Ran tossed and turned in bed, still unable to fall asleep. As the sky gradually brightened, he let out a long sigh, quickly got up, washed up, and then sat on the edge of the bed with his head down, hands propping up his cheeks, lost in thought.

  At this time, a faint footsteps came from outside the door, he suddenly lifted his head, lightly and quietly came to the door, and suddenly opened it.

  "Renn, you scared me to death!" A sudden cry of surprise came, causing Renn to be stunned on the spot.

  "Julia, what are you sneaking around my room for? You scared me!" Rain said with some anger, blocking the doorway and not letting her in.

  "Hmmph, you won't let me in? I'll have to shout loudly then, heh heh, see what you can do about it?" Yulia 'threatened'.

  "Who... Ah..." Lain's angry voice was speechless, and he sighed, then poked his head out to observe the situation around him. He shook his head helplessly and let her into the room.

  "Julia, we're getting married soon, can't you be a bit more serious? You're always so carefree... " Ryan scolded, glaring at her before turning away.

  "Hmph, don't get too worked up, you think I'm here for you? Hmph, confess honestly, what did my father want with you?" Yulia asked straightforwardly, her tone as if interrogating a criminal, extremely overbearing.

  "Oh, you've been watching me all along?" Lain turned around again, staring tightly at Yulia and said with a very angry tone, his eyes filled with indignation.

  "Who... who... who's been watching you? I just happened to run into you, don't get any strange ideas!" Yulia said somewhat stutteringly, as if she knew she was in the wrong and was being evasive, not daring to meet Rain's gaze directly.

  "Ah...... your father just wanted to have a talk with me, nothing important. If you want to know what we talked about, I can tell you, but..." Reyn sighed.

  "What is it? Tell me quickly!" Yulia was somewhat impatient to know the content of the conversation.

  "Heh heh, but I won't tell you now, haha!" Rain said.

  "Who?" Julia stomped her foot in anger, glaring at Rain. Suddenly she blinked and smiled slyly, then...

  Thoughts lead to roads, and guests arrive.
