Chapter seven hundred and fifty-seven to the New Year
Despicable, really despicable.
He actually told me the benefits before taking office. How could I refuse?
Looking up at Emperor Locke, I happily said: "I am willing to serve the empire."
Emperor Locke also smiled: "Okay, in order to make you qualified for the position of commander of the Royal Forest Army, King Gu will promote you to the rank of general, the fifth level of the empire. I hope you can serve the empire well. The rest will be left to Pei. Let me tell you, by the way, Princess Pei'er is in charge of the military defense of the capital, and your imperial army must obey Pei'er's orders unconditionally."
"Yes, Your Majesty..." I still felt a little uncomfortable when I shouted, but Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue both laughed.
"Our brother Xiaoyao has been promoted..." Yue Qing said with a smile.
Li Mu said: "The alliance leader should be the first player to serve in the imperial military system."
I shook my head: "I'm not sure..."
At this moment, a continuous stream of golden light fell from the sky. I was promoted to 5 levels in a row, reaching level 142 directly. The first emblem of the Tianling City Ranking also appeared on my shoulders. NND, just for this reward. , so what if you stay in the military camp for 5 hours a day.
…
Soon, Lin Wan'er, Li Mu and other 19 people also received mission rewards. Dong Chengyue even smiled in surprise: "Wan'er, guess what I want to give you."
Lin Wan'er blinked her big eyes: "What a horse."
Dongcheng Yue opened his hand, and a light blue skill book appeared in his hand. He smiled and said: "It's unreasonable. I am a spiritual magician and he actually gave me an Unyielding Fighting Spirit. What does the system mean?"
Li Mu, Song Han and others also received some equipment rewards each. Some people can use it, some can't, and they are basically digested internally.
…
It was getting late, Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue had gone to bed, and I wanted to sleep too, but Princess Pei'er stepped forward and said, "Come on, the new Commander Li of the Imperial Guard Army, come with me to see the Imperial Guard's barracks."
I nodded, and she took a few personal guards with her, and then gave me a general's token. This is my status symbol, the kind that won't fall off if I put it in the package.
Pei'er's war horse is a famous fiery red horse. When we arrived at the barracks, my flying sickle horse was thrown down nearly a hundred meters. She turned around with a smile and said proudly: "How about my small fire speed?" Soon."
Me: "Well, it's really fast."
"Let's go."
He took me into the barracks. The barracks of the Royal Forest Army were not far from the palace. Inside, groups of soldiers holding long swords and wearing armors were coming out. They were responsible for guarding the city and public security. As they walked, Pei'er pointed at the densely packed buildings on both sides. In the barracks and training ground, he said: "The Tianling Empire has a total of 17 legions. Among them, the Royal Forest Army has only 5,000 people, which is the smallest, but it is the only army that can station troops in the capital. As the commander of the Royal Forest Army, you, You should understand this honor."
I smiled slightly: "This also means that unless you are someone whom Your Majesty trusts very much, you cannot command the Royal Guards, because the Royal Guards can directly control everything in Tianling City."
Pei'er smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are indeed a smart guy. In fact... Liu Shuang mentioned in a letter to me that you are a trustworthy person, and at least you will not endanger the safety of the imperial capital, so I suggested to my father The emperor handed over the imperial army to you. You have also seen that the previous commander Li Shi was actually a greedy and lustful villain. However, he was an old subordinate of the emperor. The emperor handed over the imperial army to him because of nostalgia. Now you come Now, it’s time to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Royal Forest Army.”
Me: "Princess Pei'er has already made plans."
Pei'er held on to the handle of a halberd on the school ground and said with a smile: "Yes, I plan to expand the Imperial Guard Army to a strength of 20,000 people, and train three arms: cavalry warfare, infantry warfare, and fortified warfare, whether it is defending the city or attacking. Looting other forces can be of great use, this is my purpose."
I:"……"
…
At this time, a column of cavalry flew past us in the distance. One of them looked shocked when he saw us. He turned over and dismounted: "Princess Pei'er is here in person. If my subordinates fail to greet us at a distance, they shall be punished with death."
Pei'er said: "Vice General Song is going to summon the five commander-level generals of the Royal Forest Army immediately. This is the new commander of the Royal Forest Army. You must obey his orders from now on."
"Yes, Lord Commander." Vice Admiral Song gave me a straight Tianling Empire military salute.
I nodded and indicated to him that that was enough.
Pei'er smiled and said: "Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Guard's meeting hall to wait for them."
"good."
…
The meeting hall is not too big, but it is located in the middle of the entire Royal Forest Army camp. I am not very familiar with the formation of troops in the cold weapon era, but I can still see that this place is the main point and center of the entire camp. Once it is breached, it will The entire camp was destroyed.
A few minutes later, five battalion commander NPCs came. They all had livid faces and sat down respectfully in the meeting hall. One of them said respectfully: "Your Highness, why did the Royal Forest Army suddenly change to a new commander? Li Shi General, what happened to him..."
Pei'er said: "General Li has been promoted to a partial general to serve in Xia Yu's army. From now on, the Royal Forest Army will be under the command of General Li Xiaoyao, and the entire army will be controlled by him alone."
A bearded general said: "Your Highness, the empire is doing this for..."
Pei'er smiled slightly: "In order to improve the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the Royal Forest Army, and make the Royal Forest Army an iron army that can truly be responsible for the security of the empire, instead of a group of pampered young masters with lackluster combat effectiveness, starting from today, Li Xiaoyao will purge the entire army. , tell me, Li Xiaoyao, where do you plan to start."
I was stunned, thinking that I was now the commander-in-chief of an army, and I couldn’t be too hip, so I said solemnly: "The first step is to establish an assessment system and conduct regular combat training assessments. Those who fail repeatedly will be After being eliminated, this army will no longer need to support some noble young masters who have no fighting ability."
Pei'er nodded with satisfaction: "There's more."
I smiled: "The second step is that I will personally lead a part of the Royal Forest Army to inspect the Hanhuang Dragon City and Iceridge Mountain area to truly test their combat effectiveness."
Among them, a general with a face as white as jade was shocked: "What, you said... you said that you want us to fight against the terrifying army of alien demons. Oh my God, are you crazy? Don't you know how powerful those alien demons are?" Is it scary?"
I was stunned, licked my lips, and suddenly pulled out the Zhenyue knife. With a "bang" sound, the long knife stabbed halfway into the meeting table. I sneered and said, "I started to come into contact with strange demons a few months ago. I died in There are not a thousand but a hundred strange demons under my sword. If you don't even have the courage to face the strange demons, then pack up and go home to farm as soon as possible, and don't eat the rations of the Imperial Guard in vain."
The five commander-level generals were stunned. After a while, the bearded man burst into laughter: "Okay, General Li's style of conduct is very suitable for me, Han Yuan, and I, Han Yuan, are willing to give this life to the general." Well, even if you are chopped into pieces by strange demons under the Ice Ridge Mountains, it is still better than being raised and rusting like a young master in Tianling City."
Another general with a one-eyepatch on his face also laughed: "I heard that we can fight, and the opponent is a terrifying strange demon. You don't have to be so happy, you big bearded Han."
On the side, Vice General Song also smiled.
However, the white-faced general was still not angry and said: "Why should we be controlled by a young boy like you, just because you say you have killed strange demons without any basis?"
On the side, Vice General Song shouted: "Commander Lot, I hope you can be clearer. This General Li is a junior general, three levels higher than you. You are not qualified to treat him like this. Besides, keep your eyes open." Take a look at General Lee's sword."
Suddenly, the bearded Han looked at the Zhenyue Sword, without blinking, and said: "This...could this be the legendary Zhenyue Sword, a magic weapon wandering on the mainland."
Pei'er smiled and said: "It's the Zhenyue Sword."
Several generals were moved. Among them, Lieutenant General Song said solemnly: "General Li can become the master of Yue Zhenyue Sword. He must be extremely talented and outstanding. His subordinates are willing to follow the general even if they die."
Several other commander-level generals also said similar things, and I was a little narrow-minded. NND, could it be that I relied on the Zhenyue Sword to achieve my status in the army?
Forget it, never mind, first we have to gain the trust of a few commanding generals, and then we can mobilize the entire legion. Otherwise, I won’t have to be the commander in the future. If I disappoint Peier, I will disappoint Liushuang. From now on, I will I still want to hang out in Tianling City.
In fact, taking a step back, I am willing to accept the position of commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army. The most important reason is that achieving a certain status in the empire will also be conducive to the development of Dragon Slaying and Dragon City, and once this Imperial Forest Army has a strong Combat power is also a great help to the entire national war. I can personally command these imperial troops, so I don't have to let them become enemies in the national war in vain.
…
I was busy until nearly 5 o'clock in the morning, and finally I could go offline and take a rest.
When I woke up the next day, it was already past 12 noon. When I got up and went out, I heard Dongcheng Lei's voice appearing in the living room. I walked over and saw that this kid was indeed there, and he was holding a big basket full of things. Chocolates, candies and other snacks, Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue were helping, smiling from ear to ear.
"Ale is here." I smiled.
Dongcheng Lei smiled honestly: "Happy New Year, Brother Xiaoyao. The New Year is in three days, so I bought some food for Yue'er. I don't know if she will go home to celebrate the New Year this year."
Dong Chengyue said coquettishly: "Brother, don't ask so many questions. It's still early for the New Year, it's only one day... By the way, besides asking you to buy me food, what else did dad tell you to do?"
Dongcheng Lei thought for a moment and said, "Let me take you to buy some new clothes, no matter how expensive they are."
Dong Chengyue smiled very sweetly, held Lin Wan'er's hand and said, "Let's go shopping in the afternoon. You can buy as many clothes as you want. Brother must have brought his card."
Dongcheng Lei was too honest and honest, and said with a smile: "Yeah, you can buy as much as you want, Deputy Leader Wan'er, you're welcome."
Lin Wan'er chuckled: "Okay... Then Ah Zhu will accompany me in the afternoon. Anyway, Alei will pay for it. I need to buy you some decent clothes for the New Year..."
I touched my nose and said, "Okay, but I'd better pay for my own clothes. A Lei still has to keep his money to marry his wife."
Dongcheng Lei smirked: "Brother Xiaoyao, don't make fun of me, who would fall in love with me?"
…
I wanted to find some excuse for Dongcheng Lei, but after thinking about it for a long time, I really didn't find any girl who had ever favored this silly boy Dongcheng Lei, so I had to sigh, brother, I can't stand him...
