Chapter Seven Hundred and Fifty Seven
Despicable, really despicable.
How could I refuse to tell me the benefits before taking the job?
Looking up and looking at Emperor Locke, I said happily, "I am willing to serve the empire."
Emperor Locke also smiled: "Okay, in order to allow you to be qualified for the command of the Imperial Forest Army, the lonely king will promote you to the next general, the fifth rank of the empire, I hope you can serve the empire well, and leave the rest to Pei. Let me explain to you, by the way, Princess Peier is in charge of the military defense of the capital, and your Imperial Forest Army must obey Peier's orders."
"Yes, Your Majesty..." I still couldn't pronounce it smoothly, but Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue laughed.
"Our Brother Xiaoyao will be promoted..." Yue Qing said with a slight smile.
Li Mu said: "The leader should be the first player to serve in the imperial military system."
I shook my head: "Not sure..."
Just at this moment, golden rays of light descended from the sky continuously. I have risen to level 5 in a row, and I am already at level 142. The first emblem of Tianling City also appeared on my shoulder, nn, the light is aimed at this reward , So what if you stay in the barracks for 5 hours a day. [
...
Soon, Lin Wan'er, Li Mu and other 19 people also received their mission rewards. Dong Chengyue even smiled in surprise: "Wan'er, guess what I'm going to give you."
Lin Wan'er blinked her big eyes: "What a horse."
Dong Chengyue opened her hand, and a light blue skill book appeared in her palm, and said with a smile: "It's unreasonable, I am a spiritualist, and I actually gave me an unyielding fighting spirit. What does the system mean by that?"
Li Mu, Song Han and others also received some equipment rewards, some of them can use it, some don't need it, and they basically digested it internally.
...
It's getting late, Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue have gone to bed, and I want to sleep too, but Princess Pei'er stepped forward and said: "The new Commander Li of the Imperial Forest Army, come on, come with me to see the Imperial Forest Army's barracks."
I nodded, and she took a few personal guards, and then gave me a token of the general, which is my status symbol, and it will not fall when it is placed in the package.
Pei'er's war horse is a fiery red famous horse. When I arrived at the barracks, my flying scythe iron horse was thrown down nearly a hundred meters. She turned around with a smile, and said complacently: "How about it, my little fire is very fast. Hurry up."
Me: "Well, it's really fast."
"Let's go."
Lead me into the barracks, the barracks of the Imperial Forest Army is not far from the palace, there are groups of soldiers holding long swords and wearing armor coming out, responsible for guarding the city and security work. He said: "There are 17 regiments in the Tianling Empire, of which the Imperial Forest Army is the smallest, with only 5,000 people, but it is the only army that can station troops in the capital. As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, This honor should be understood."
I smiled slightly: "This also means that unless someone His Majesty trusts very much, he cannot command the Imperial Forest Army, because the Imperial Forest Army can directly control everything in Tianling City."
Pei'er smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are indeed a smart guy. In fact... it was Liu Shuang who mentioned it to me in a letter. You are a trustworthy person, and at least you will not endanger the safety of the imperial capital. That's why I suggested father The emperor handed over the Imperial Forest Army to you, as you have seen, the former commander Li Shi was actually a greedy and lustful villain, but he is the old subordinate of the father emperor, and the father emperor handed over the imperial forest army to him, now you come It's time to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Forest Army."
Me: "Princess Pei'er has already made plans." [
Pei'er held on to the handle of a halberd on the school field, and said with a smile: "Yes, I plan to expand the Royal Forest Army to 20,000 people, and train the three arms of cavalry warfare, infantry warfare, and fortified warfare, whether it is defending the city or attacking the city. Looting other forces can be useful, this is my purpose."
I:"……"
...
At this time, a column of cavalry flew towards us in the distance, and one of them was shocked when he saw us, and got off his horse: "Princess Pei'er is here in person, and my subordinates are far away from us, and I deserve death."
Pei'er said: "Deputy General Song Juli, go immediately to summon the five commander-level generals of the Imperial Forest Army. This is the new commander of the Imperial Forest Army. You must obey him from now on."
"Yes, Lord Commander." The Vice General Song gave me a straight Tianling Empire military salute.
I nodded, indicating to him that it was all right.
Pei'er smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the meeting hall of the Imperial Forest Army and wait for them."
"good."
...
The conference hall is not too big, but I am not very familiar with the formation of troops in the cold weapon era, but I can still see that this is the main point and center of the entire camp. The entire camp was crumbled.
A few minutes later, five battalion commanding NPCs came, each with livid faces, and sat down respectfully in the meeting hall, one of them respectfully said: "Your Highness, why did the Imperial Forest Army suddenly change its commander, Li Shi?" General, what happened to him..."
Pei'er said: "General Li has been promoted to be a partial general and he went to Xia Yu's army to be a senior. From now on, the Yulin Army will be under the command of this General Li Xiaoyao, and the whole army will be controlled by him alone."
A general with a beard said: "Your Highness, the reason for this move of the empire is for the sake of it."
Peier smiled slightly: "In order to enhance the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the Imperial Forest Army, and make the Imperial Forest Army an iron army that can truly be responsible for the security of the empire, instead of a group of young masters who are pampered and lackluster in combat effectiveness, starting today, Li Xiaoyao will purge the entire army. , tell me, Li Xiaoyao, where do you plan to start."
I was stunned, thinking that I am now the commander-in-chief of the first army, and I should not be too joking, so I said solemnly: "The first step is to establish an assessment system and conduct regular combat training assessments. Those who fail repeatedly will Being eliminated, this army no longer needs to support some noble young masters who have no combat effectiveness."
Pei'er nodded in satisfaction: "There are more."
I smiled: "In the second step, I will personally lead a part of the Royal Forest Army to inspect the Cold Desolation Dragon City and Bingridge Mountain, and truly experience them in terms of 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 strange demon army, my God, are you crazy? Don't you know how many strange monsters are there? Is it scary?"
I was stunned, licked my lips, pulled out the Zhenyue Knife suddenly, pierced half of the long knife on the table with a "bang", and sneered: "I started contacting strange demons a few months ago, and died in the There are hundreds of strange monsters under my sword, if you don’t even have the courage to face strange monsters, then pack up early and go home to farm, don’t eat the rations of the Imperial Forest Army in vain.”
The five commanding generals were stunned, but after a while, the bearded man laughed: "Okay, General Li's behavior is very suitable for my Han Yuan, and I, Han Yuan, are willing to give this life to the general." Now, even if it's chopped into meat by strange demons at the foot of Bingji Mountain, it's better than being raised and rusted like a young master in Tianling City."
Another general with a one-eyed patch on his face also smiled: "I heard that you can fight, but your opponent is still a terrifying strange monster. You don't have to be so happy, you big bearded Han."
On the side, Deputy General Song also smiled.
However, the white-faced general was still not angry, and said: "Why should we be restrained by you, a young brat, just relying on your empty words to say that you have killed strange demons."
On the side, Deputy General Song yelled: "Controlling Luo Te, I hope you can be clearer. This General Li is a general who is 3 levels higher than you. You have no right to treat him like this. Besides, you keep your dog open!" Take a look at General Lee's saber."
Immediately, the bearded Han stared at Zhenyue Dao, without blinking his eyes, and said, "This...is this the legendary Zhenyue Dao, a magical weapon that wandered on the mainland."
Pei'er smiled and said, "It's the Zhenyue Dao."
Several generals were moved. Among them, Deputy General Song said in a deep voice: "General Li must have extraordinary talents and extraordinary talents to become the master of the Zhenyue sword. His subordinates are willing to follow the general, and they will never hesitate to die."
Several other command-level generals also said similar things one after another, but I was a little narrow-minded, nn, could it be that I gained status in the army by relying on Zhenyue Dao.
Forget it, never mind, first you need to gain the trust of a few commanding generals, and then you can mobilize the entire army. Otherwise, I won’t need to be the commander in the future. If you disappoint Pei’er, it’s like disappointing Liushuang. I still want to hang out in Tianling City again.
In fact, taking ten thousand steps back, the most important reason I am willing to accept the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Forest Army is that gaining a certain status in the empire is also conducive to the development of Zhanlong and Dragon City, and once this Imperial Forest Army has a powerful Combat power is also a great boost to the entire national war. I can personally command these imperial forest troops, so I don't have to let them become the enemy's experience points in the national war for nothing.
...
I have been busy until nearly 5 o'clock in the morning, and I can finally go offline to 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 the boy was indeed there, and he was holding a big basket full of Chocolate, candy and other snacks, Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue helped out, smiling from ear to ear.
"Aleigh is here." I smiled.
Dong Chenglei smiled honestly: "Brother Xiaoyao, happy new year, the new year is only three days away, so I bought some food for Yue'er, I don't know if she will come home this year for the new year."
Dong Chengyue said coquettishly: "Brother, don't ask so many questions. It's still early in the Chinese New Year, and it's only one day... By the way, besides asking you to buy food for me, what else did Dad tell you to do?"
Dong Chenglei thought for a while and said, "Let me take you to buy some new clothes, no matter how expensive it is."
Dong Chengyue smiled very sweetly, she held Lin Wan'er's hand and said, "Let's go shopping in the afternoon, we can buy as many clothes as we want, brother must have brought a card."
Dongcheng Lei was too simple and honest, and said with a smile: "Well, you can buy as much as you want, and you are welcome to be the deputy leader of Wan'er."
Lin Wan'er chuckled: "Okay...then Ah Zhu will go with me this afternoon, anyway, Ah Lei will pay the bill, and you want to buy you some clothes for the New Year, something decent..."
I rubbed my nose: "Okay, but I should pay for my own clothes, and Ah Lei's money should be saved to marry a wife."
Dongcheng Lei smirked: "Brother Xiaoyao, don't make fun of me, who would take a fancy to me."
...
I wanted to find some excuses for Dongcheng Lei, but after thinking about it for a long time, I really didn't find any girl who had favored Dong Chenglei, a foolish boy, so I could only sigh, brother, I'm sorry for him...
