The newly formed Kamo Legion is training in the valley more than 70 kilometers away. Palius Enna was once a division commander under Kamo and one of the three hundred warriors alive.
Corey did not return the greeting. He pointed to the river in the distance and said slowly: "The million-strong army of the Six Nations Alliance did not make the proud Kamo Army take a step back. Now behind this big river is my land of Yasi, Yasi's
People, I don’t want to see this river rushing past the Kamo Legion, which is known as the Iron Defense Line.”
"I'm here to give you my order." Enna's commander didn't say much. He knocked heavily on the armor on his left chest with his right hand. After saluting, he turned around and left, leading his men towards the river embankment.
The governor, who fell on the ground and had his mouth stuffed with dirt, understood the reason now and glared at the fat official fiercely, but it was already too late. Everyone in the country knew about Kerui's strong power. He was afraid that he would be in trouble this time.
.
"Have the technicians repairing the river embankment not arrived yet?" Corey asked the guard beside him.
"Sir, they went directly to the river embankment. The old foreman said that they can't waste a moment on the river embankment. Once the problems on the river embankment are solved, you will punish them." The guard replied softly.
"Hahaha." Corey laughed suddenly: "I like it. Old men like this are all capable people. If the river embankment is built well this time, I will make him the river chief. I'm a little hungry. Go
Eat something." At this point, Corey looked at the trembling officials and said to the guards: "Don't let them starve to death, lock them up."
The wolf-like Kori guards threw the officials and their governor into a camp like cargo.
"You killed me this time." The governor just cleaned up the mud in his mouth and cursed at the fat official. The fat official looked innocent: "Mr. Governor, didn't you also have a share?"
"Huh!" The governor snorted coldly and stopped talking. He began to think about how he was going to pass the test this time.
The rest of the officials were trembling, not sure whether it was because they were cold from the early autumn rain or because they had no confidence in their own lives. Just when the officials were slowly relaxing and preparing to whisper, here came
Several soldiers separated them and locked them up.
The place where they were held was a little different this time. Although the tents were a little smaller, there were clean towels, clothes, and food in each tent.
"I want to see Marshal Corey." After the governor saw everything in the camp, he secretly wanted to do something bad. As a high-ranking nobleman, he had studied Corey's methods more than a hundred times. He knew full well that Corey suddenly
Good for them, but something very terrible awaits them.
The guard glanced at the governor coldly and said lazily: "Don't look for trouble. We adults will be in a very bad mood right now. If you like to eat mud, I can help you."
The governor shut up. The attitude of the soldiers would not be false. They must find a way immediately. But looking around, there was nothing within tens of meters of his camp. Anywhere further away, there were all Kerui's men. I thought again and again.
, the governor took off a short knife inlaid with ruby and a pendant from his body. "Little brother, you can play with these things. I don't know how my guard captain is doing now."
One of the soldiers took it, took a look at it, and threw it back. "You can also take out this thing. The Governor is really honest."
Another soldier smiled and took out the dagger in his arms and waved it in front of the governor's eyes. The governor was so shocked that he didn't say a word for a long time. The value of this dagger was a hundred times higher than the one he was about to give away. Only
I heard the soldier say: "Greedy people will have a pitiful end. My mother has taught me this since I was a child."
"My mother said so too," another soldier immediately said.
"How can you have such a short knife with your salary?" The governor thought to himself, it's a joke, if you are not greedy, you may think that my gift is not enough.
The smiles on the faces of the two soldiers disappeared at the same time, and they said in unison: "We have followed the Lord on the expedition for several years. We have gained it with our military exploits, and we have peace of mind."
After that, the two soldiers pushed the governor back into the door and ignored him again.
At the same time, a man dressed as a civil servant walked into the tent where other officials were kept.
"How about it? You should get used to eating." The civil servant sat on the chair with a smile on his face. The officials in the camp did not understand what the civil servant meant and did not dare to say anything casually.
The civil servant smiled and continued: "Someone just told me some interesting information. The river chief's sister is married to the governor. I don't know if this is true."
The official was stunned and immediately lowered his head, still saying nothing.
"I heard that the Governor likes to eat sweets. I wonder if his teeth are well maintained." The civil servant said with a smile on his face, minding his own business.
At this time, the official stuttered and asked, "What will Marshal Corey do to us?"
"Nothing will happen. It depends on the individual's performance. Someone just told me some interesting things. Mr. Corey was very satisfied with his attitude. He praised him a few words and retained his official position. From his home
I gave him back what I copied. However, he did something wrong after all, so I confiscated two thousand magic crystal coins and rewarded him with ten lashes."
Civil servants are very good at talking. First, tell the official that if he cooperates well, everything will be fine. At the same time, he also gives some punishment methods. For these officials, this punishment is nothing. Saving their lives and retaining their official positions is a blessing in misfortune.
.
Sure enough, the official hesitated slightly and said, "I know that the Governor once offered an official appraisal to raise the price. Later, more people paid for it, and the price was raised a lot."
"What official is commenting on the price increase?" The civil servant immediately took out a pen and paper.
"After His Majesty came to the throne, he required officials to be evaluated every three years. In recent years, as the kingdom has added many service departments, many more officials have also been added." The official said slowly.
The civil servant nodded: "I know this, you continue to talk."
After the official took a sip of water, he continued: "Officials in the provincial capital, those who are in charge of official duties, will hand over tens of thousands to several thousand magic crystal coins depending on the amount of money in the department they are in charge of. If there are no coins, then
They will be judged as incompetent and lose their official positions. Those who hand over more coins will have the opportunity to choose a department with high salary and salary as a principal."
"Well, if you think about it this way, the chief's deputy positions and the appointment of local officials can be sold for a fortune." The interest of the civil servants increased greatly, and finally a big thing happened.
The official nodded: "Not only that, many important official positions of local officials are also directly appointed by the Governor, and the city lords bought them with money. Just now, he was standing on my left, wearing a red coat and an emerald.
The one with the belt is the one who collects money for the Governor."
"What official position does he hold?" the civil servant asked.
"He used to be a staff officer in the Governor's Mansion, but now he is the deputy director of river affairs." After the official said this, he suddenly grabbed the civil servant and said, "I have said everything, so are we okay? Marshal Cory won't kill me."
The civil servant chuckled and put a pen and some paper on the table: "Then it depends on your performance. Just write down whatever comes to mind. I'll go meet the deputy director of river affairs for a while." The civil servant comforted the man again.
The official said a few words and left the camp in an excited mood.
In almost all the camps, the dozens of officials who were summoned were doing the same thing, confessing what they knew and betraying their master, the Governor, in exchange for a living.
"Humph, even worse than a thief." A soldier following the civil servant cursed.
"Why do you say that?" The civil servant stopped and asked in surprise.
"Sir, we have eliminated thieves before. In order to keep their accomplices safe, those thieves will not speak no matter what methods we use. This can help the officials to scare away their masters."
