At the head of a special team of huntsmen, with his father’s gun in his hands, Lyoshka went through dozens of battles and individual skirmishes. He, already a second lieutenant, shed his blood in battles and earned this rank by right. But there is a special, secret war ahead with the enemies of the empire, with those who are haunted by the glory and strengthening of their Motherland.
