Volume Ten, Chapter 21, If ??you have something to do, I will do it for you
Nilac did not dare to neglect the transfer order signed by the dead emperor himself. He handed over all the affairs to Audrey and the others that day, and rushed towards the camp where the Ninth Legion was located early the next morning.
As one of the four temporarily expanded legions, the Ninth Legion still adheres to the fine traditions of the Immortal Empire and has no cannon fodder!
Indeed, there are a large number of necromancers who can summon a large number of skeleton legions and zombie legions anytime and anywhere. There is no need for cannon fodder in the ninth legion!
It is precisely for this reason that the number of the Ninth Army is not large. Even including the logistics army, it can only reach 50,000 people!
A legion of 50,000 people! It is almost half the number of legions of the same strength as the Shenlong Empire or the Light Empire, or even less!
Among these 50,000 people, there are about 6,000 people under Nilac's command, half of which are necromancers and elemental mages! It should be said that among the newly built legions, the proportion of mages is already very high.
, especially the proportion of necromancers...
The ninth legion's training camp is in a large valley southeast of the imperial capital. This is a forbidden area specially planned to train new troops. Without orders, no one inside is allowed to go out, and no one from outside is allowed to enter.
At this time, a group of people were waiting eagerly at the entrance of the valley.
Ever since he received the urgent report from the military last night, Marquis Ste was a little uneasy. As the commander of the Ninth Legion, there was no need for him to come to greet him in person when a mere commander of the mage group reported such a thing.
But... he also knew that, although nominally, he was the supreme commander of the Ninth Legion, but when it came to the actual core... Just think about what the military had repeatedly told him not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Mage Corps.
It becomes clear!
However, Marquis Ste's mentality is very tolerant. Who knows that the leader of this mage group is a strong man in the holy realm, and he is also a perverted existence with the highest power among the strong men in the holy realm...
You know, even among the most elite legions in the empire, few have strong men from the holy realm!
Being able to have such a person work under him, even if he is only a nominal subordinate, can make Marquis St. brag for a lifetime...
"My lord, it should be Master Nilak who is here!" The voice of a personal guard rang in Marquis Ste's ears, waking him up from his fantasy.
Following the fingers of the personal guard, several black spots suddenly appeared in the sky and were imprinted in the eyes of Marquis Ste. Still far away, the huge and terrifying aura of death was clearly detectable... Can it be seen at this moment?
Apart from Master Nilak, the leader of the mage group, there will be no one else coming here!
In an instant, everyone's faces showed respect, and the eyes of several leaders of the mage group showed uncontrollable excitement... The most dazzling star of the empire for thousands of years! He has only been exposed to magic for more than ten years.
, has already entered the legendary holy realm, and is still one of the most powerful people in the holy realm! Even the great immortal emperor may not be able to match the speed of this increase in power!
Moreover, the most important thing is that Master Nilak is still a necromancer! The empire has not seen a saint-level necromancer for hundreds of years! This is really a big regret for the undead empire, and Master Nilak’s arrogance
The birth of Kong is filling the regrets in the hearts of everyone in the empire!
The black spots are naturally the ghost dragons! Flying rapidly in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the three ghost dragons have already flown to the valley. On the ghost dragon, the figures of Nilac and the servant corpses also became clear, Kaka
, Qinghun, eighteen servant corpses, not a few! The majestic momentum, even if they are all restrained, can still suppress the hearts of the people below!
Noticing the people greeting him below, the ghost dragon slowly descended under the control of Nilac.
A bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and Marquis Stu greeted him enthusiastically. As he walked, he laughed loudly and said: "Master Nilac, you are finally here! I am the commander of the ninth legion, Marquis ster, and I have been promoted to represent the third
All members of the Ninth Legion welcome your arrival. In the future, I hope that Master can provide more guidance on legion affairs, and we will definitely fully cooperate with your guidance!"
In the extremely respectful words of Marquis Ste, Nilac was slightly surprised that he, the commander of the legion, actually asked him to give advice... The title of a strong man in the sanctuary is too easy to use...
With a trace of doubt, Nilac flew down from the ghost dragon with a smile: "You're welcome, Lord Marquis. How can I, a person who has never led an army, give random instructions on the operation of the army? The Ninth Army still has to rely on
My lord, it’s up to you to command..."
After a slight pause, he nodded to the mages behind Marquis Ste, and continued with a smile: "Due to delays in some affairs, I couldn't come here earlier. I'm sorry to bother all the mages these days. From now on, the mages group will
I hope you can contribute more to our management!"
Several mages are all very old people. After hearing Nilak's words,
The color changed slightly, revealing a faint bitter color.
As the oldest person in the mage group, Magister Cazorla is the temporary leader of the mage group during this period. The wrinkles on his face were deeply sunken, and Cazorla said with a bitter look on his face: "Sir, the mage group
It's better for you to lead it yourself. We old guys can do well in studying magic, but if we want to help you manage the mage group, we really have more than enough ambition but not enough power!"
None of the old guys are human beings. Knowing that they have no ability to compete with Nilak for power, they naturally have to avoid the suspicion of fighting for power early... Moreover, they are not entirely trying to avoid suspicion. Indeed, as Cazzola said,
It's okay to let them study magic, but it's a bit difficult for them to manage the normal affairs of the mage group...
In the days since the legion was established, even though they are busy every day, the overall appearance of the mage regiment still cannot be compared with other troops of the legion!
As noble magicians, they cannot accept the leadership of ordinary soldiers, so the training and other matters of the mage group have been delayed...
Although Nilac was well-informed, he was still unclear about the affairs in the forbidden area. He always regarded the old mage's words as words of humility. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Marquis St. intervened again.
"Master, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later!" Nilak didn't know the situation in the legion, but Ste was aware of the affairs of the mage group. Naturally, he would not let things that were not under his control ruin the current harmonious atmosphere.
, Stern said with a smile: "A banquet has been set up inside, and some of the most important leaders in the legion are waiting for your arrival. Do you think you should go and meet them first, so that you can accept it better in the future?"
Your order!".
Nilac's heart was moved again. What on earth could this army commander do? With just three words, he felt like he wanted to put all the power in the army into his hands... Such a noble personality... really made the suspicious undead
The mage feels strange!
However, the face of the legion commander still had to be sold. He stopped talking to the members of the mage group at the moment. Nilac nodded and said with a smile: "The Marquis has arranged it. Since the Ninth Legion is here, if anything happens, the Marquis can do it."
Directly order..."
Although Nilac's words were modest, Ste didn't dare to take them seriously. After all, the necromancer's reputation for killing the Nicholas family and the Hall family was still well-known far and wide!
Leading his subordinates, he respectfully invited Nilac into the valley. The banquet that followed was ignored, as no one dared to cause trouble for Nilac anyway.
But at the end of the banquet, when Ste saw off Nilac alone, the real reason why he had always wanted to hand over power to Nilac came out...
"Lord Nilac, Duke Fabio asked me to say hello to you!" Ste's red face was constantly smelling of alcohol, but his expression was still humble: "The Duke said, the affairs of the Ninth Legion,
I need to consult you for your opinion. Only when all the troops of the legion can cooperate with your actions can the legion reach its greatest potential... Sir, you can rest assured that as long as I am still the commander of the ninth legion, as long as you are still here
You can decide everything in the Ninth Legion..."
As he said that, Stet chuckled and said straightforwardly: "To be honest, the Duke actually fought for me to be the commander of my legion. As long as you can lead the legion to achieve a good record, my contribution will definitely be indispensable...
Hehe, the Duke made it very clear to me that only with you can the Ninth Legion accomplish great things... Whether I, the Marquis, can hope to rise a little further, all depends on you!"
Nilac was speechless for a while. Although there were many people among the nobles who practiced military exploits, but he blatantly took the position of legion commander and performed military exploits in such an upright manner, I am afraid that he was the only one who did it...
As soon as my heart moved, the information of the Marquis of St. immediately jumped out. He was a consistent ally of the Fabio family and the husband of the Duke's most precious daughter!
After sending Nilac to the mage group, Ste was about to say goodbye when he suddenly paused, with a sly look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Nilac, I can't help you with the matter of the mage group."
Ah, those proud mages never take us rude soldiers seriously... I still have to leave it to you to take care of it yourself!"
There was something in his heart again, and Nirak smiled and nodded to Ste... Is it something about the mage group? After all, it is a magician summoned temporarily. It is to be expected that he has a superior mentality to ordinary soldiers...
But Nilak is not afraid of trouble...or, in other words, there is no trouble for him at all...
When he received the news from Claudia, he had already made up his mind for a person who was completely trusted by him and capable enough to manage the mage group well.
