Episode 8: The New King of Assisi Section 6: Ready to Return to China 1
No matter what the officers thought, Corey had his own ideas.
The original purpose of building Thunder Eagle City is no longer important, but it turns out that the real purpose is not to have a main city for his mercenary group, but also not to prepare it for the late emperor.
But because Corey likes to loot other people's imperial capitals too much, Corey wants to prepare a backup imperial capital for Warner. Warner also plans to use the valuable treasures and magic crystal coins in Yasi's treasury after the Thunder Eagle City is built.
, all the documents, files and other things were secretly moved to Thunder Eagle City, which has excellent defensive capabilities.
"Failure, what a failure." Looking at the new camp that was originally built for five legions, there are now nine legions. If there was not one legion responsible for returning the people and finances that had taken refuge in the kingdom, this area would have been crowded.
There's no room for it, so there's no need to talk about daily training.
When a general in charge of logistics heard Kerui's statement of failure, he quickly came over and lowered his head and said: "I will immediately arrange for manpower to expand the camp. Please ask Marshal Kerui to go back to the tent and rest first."
"Huh, when I say failure, I'm talking about myself. It was originally planned that five legions would secretly go deep into the territory of Speihammer. Now there is no chance at all. All roads and places where troops can march are blocked by them.
It's really annoying." Corey cursed and walked towards the big tent prepared for him.
The legion commanders who stayed on the spot all stood there dumbfounded.
"It's scary, it's really scary." Kamo whispered. He originally thought that he was arrogant enough on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that Corey was even more terrifying. The plan he made was even more unreasonable. Not to mention the enemy, even the country's military officers didn't know about it.
How to understand.
General Chichika laughed: "Old Kamo, how many are there."
"How many?" Kamo was confused. Then he thought about it and immediately asked his lieutenant: "How many enemies will we kill this time, and how many casualties will we have?"
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant general replied nervously: "General, we can complete the statistics before evening. We have been on the road these days and each battalion has not reported it to the division, so we don't have accurate figures here yet."
"I'm asking how much loot you got." Chichika asked with a smile.
Kamo shook his head and looked at the lieutenant. The lieutenant was even more nervous. He didn't even answer any of the two questions. It seemed that a few whips were indispensable.
At this time, General Hanks smiled and asked the deputy general to step down: "There are too many. We should be counting them now. Let's go and take a look."
The nine legions here, including Laqi'ao, all want to see how many things there are.
The camp was built in the only mountain in this area, and the spoils were counted in several caves. As soon as they arrived at the mountain pass, they heard an officer scolding: "You are idiots for carrying such a heavy thing back.
It’s really amazing.”
Laqi'ao took a look and saw dozens of large wooden boxes piled on the ground, filled with copper coins.
The battalion commander who was responsible for carrying these things was also flushed and felt very humiliated.
"Take it to the cook camp and tell them that it is a reward from the marshal, and ask them to cook the food more seriously." La Qi'ao didn't pay attention to this trivial matter, and the other army commanders all laughed.
Several people were about to walk in, but an officer blocked them.
"My lords of the legion, I am brave. Please ask your personal guards, entourage, and adjutants to change their clothes before entering. This is a newly established rule. Please forgive me." Such an officer did not dare to say that he would let the nine legion commanders change their clothes.
.I saw him wave his hand, and several soldiers brought some simple tube robes.
Kamo was about to curse, but Chichika blocked him: "Everyone should abide by the rules in the army. There is a lot of money in it. It is inevitable that some people will be greedy. There is nothing wrong with doing so. Get me a set too.
Come on." With that said, Chichika began to undress her armor.
The guarding officer saw this and hurriedly knelt down: "General, I don't mean any disrespect."
"Get up, you have your duty." Veron reached out and pulled up this ordinary officer, and began to take off his armor.
Kamo looked at several people taking off their armor, shook his head and took off his own armor as well.
After changing clothes and walking into the cave, except for Laqi'ao, the eight legion commanders, their adjutants, and two personal guards all stayed there. There was not a single torch in the cave, but it was brighter than outside. There were mountains of demons.
Crystal coins, gems of various colors, and countless treasures are placed in the corners of the cave.
Everyone inside, whether they were secretaries or soldiers, were naked from top to bottom.
"General, put the silver coins and worthless things in another cave, and seal up all the things that cannot be identified, waiting for several famous domestic appraisers to come back to the country to identify them." The officer who led them in said in a low voice.
"Yes, how many?" General Hanks asked.
"General, I'm sorry. I don't know how much these are. Since the first batch arrived, they have been sorting them out day and night. Each shift has a thousand soldiers and a hundred clerks, and the shift changes every eight hours. And the silver coins
Because the number there is huge and this kind of thing is inconvenient for large numbers of people, the liquidation has not yet begun."
Looking at the piles of treasures, all the officers were in a very good mood. According to the laws of the kingdom, 50% of the trophies are freely distributed among the troops who received the trophies. In other words, half of the things here can be divided.
La Qi'ao looked indifferent, looking at the treasures with small square steps, and kept picking up some of the things he liked to play with.
"Laqiao, tell me how much stuff you have after robbing the Tukani Imperial City." Kamo asked loudly when he saw the unsurprised look on Laqiao's face.
"I don't know. At that time, we counted magic crystal coins in boxes, gold coins in weight, gemstones in barrels, and silver coins in carriages. As for treasures, only the truly precious ones were counted, and the rest were piled on the carriage."
Ao said with a hint of smile.
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the officer in charge of the liquidation, all the eight legions opened their mouths.
"No wonder Marshal Corey likes to loot other people's imperial capitals. It turns out that you can count the magic crystal coins in boxes. Really, really..." An adjutant said to himself, and several generals glared at him.
One look frightened him and he quickly shut up. Talking about the superior's work style behind his back was a serious crime, and he would be punished with fifty strokes of the cane even if he didn't die.
Laqi'ao didn't want the adjutant to be punished for these words, so he changed the subject with a smile: "You know what was the most interesting thing at that time. That was famous swords or swords that had never been appraised, or where you couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.
It’s a matter of choosing a sword or a staff among the staffs, but due to my poor vision and bad luck, I picked the worst one among all, hahaha.”
It was true as Rajiao said, everyone present had longing eyes.
When Corey woke up, he saw figures moving outside the tent. He put on his clothes and opened the door. He saw nine army commanders standing outside the tent: "Ah, you are not tired after traveling for several days. Do you have any military affairs?"
"
Several generals looked at each other, and finally all eyes were on Lachiao. Lachiao had no choice but to stand up and said: "Sir, all the generals are looking forward to you playing the treasure selection game again."
"Well, haha, that's very interesting. When we return to the Imperial City, some people are happy and some are sad." Corey laughed, and everyone's eyes focused on La Qi'ao again, thinking that the sad person might be the one in front of them.
One person.
La Qi'ao was not convinced and said angrily: "I have consulted many appraisal masters in the past few months. This time I have to take a look."
