Chapter 451 An Inexplicable Award
Frey and his old brothers ultimately did not choose to return to the Thunder Legion, and the real reason is unknown. David asked about it at the time, but Frey just joked with his hands, saying that there had been a shadow in the past two days and he did not dare to face the soldiers of the Thunder Legion again...
Immediately, Tang En and the others returned to the city again. The reason why Elt and Taka were able to leave was because they were witnesses, while Tang En and the others, as parties, still had some follow-up matters that needed to be accepted. Of course, this is not about being investigated, but waiting for Bran to be rewarded by Barlow. They are basically sitting and waiting for the pie to be hit on their heads.
Taking advantage of this time, Tang En and Frey discussed and decided on the next itinerary.
In fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that they discussed it. The two of them sat together for three minutes before the matter was settled. It's not that it's rash, the point is that there is really no choice.
There are three legion defense zones on the front line. First of all, the Zichen Legion is excluded. There is no decent battle here, and the Zichen Legion does not need their assistance at all. Then the Thunder Legion was also eliminated. Frey's previous joke was not casual. He really didn't want to face the soldiers of the Thunder Legion again. From this point of view, they only have the last option left - the Cang Yan Legion.
Tang En naturally had no objection to this result. He already knew that Sethman was in the defense zone of the Cang Yan Legion, so he had to go anyway. Tang En also came to terms with Frey over this. He needed to go deep into the Cangyan defense zone in the name of the team, but once he got there, if he found an opportunity for revenge, he would definitely lead the Gray Space members to leave the team.
Frey already knew Tang En's purpose of coming to the front line, so he wasn't too surprised. He pondered for a while, and finally just said take care. It's not that he doesn't want to help Tang En, but this matter is very important, and helping rashly will probably only do bad things.
The Temple of Light, this is an opponent that can make people despair just by imagining it. As for Tang En and the others, killing Sethman could only be an assassination without anyone noticing. If once exposed, not only Tang En or Frey, but even the Gray Clothes Army may be implicated...
The wait did not last long. Two days later in the morning, Frey and others formally accepted the award from Bran.
In order to facilitate management, the soldiers sent by the Gray Army to fight on the front lines have been enrolled in Bran's army. In this way, military pay, awards, etc. are naturally distributed by Bran.
Honestly, the accolades are great. More than two hundred soldiers received Bran's Silver Medal of Valor, and Frey even received the Gold Medal of Bran's Excellent Commander. There are other things about honor, which I won’t go into details here. The most important thing is the material reward, a full 10,000 gold coins.
The award ceremony was rather cumbersome, and by the time the 10,000 gold coins actually arrived in the hands of this person, it was already noon.
Outside the venue, David and others were still waiting. Tang En and Frey had not come out yet because they had to communicate with the generals about going to the Cangyan Legion defense area.
Wow, wow... waving the gold tickets worth ten thousand, smelling the unique smell of money, David smacked his lips and said rather arrogantly: "Tsk, tsk, if it weren't for the sake of these ten thousand gold coins, , I won’t come to receive this crappy medal.”
"That's right! Damn it, you don't know how to find some chairs for us fighting heroes to sit on. You are trying to kill me by standing there!"
"And that half-dead old man, he talks so damn much and keeps talking. When I received the medal from his hand that seemed to be convulsed, I was really worried that he would lose his temper and blackmail me... …”
…
The gray-coated army is poor, and the soldiers of the gray-coated army are even poorer. Compared with the spiritual sense of honor, they pay more attention to material gains. Of course, it is also because this honor belongs to Bran. If it were awarded internally by the Gray Army, their attitudes would be completely different.
But at this time, Shouhou had carefully collected the medal, and then he narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "Since you don't want that broken medal, you might as well keep it for me to play with."
"Huh?" David was immediately alert when he heard this. He was a very smart man, but he was even more obsessed with money. After all, this medal is made of silver. You can get some money by selling it, so naturally I won't give it to you. Moreover, he also smelled the flavor of conspiracy in Shouhou's words, and asked cautiously, "This medal... Well, is there something you didn't tell us?"
"How is that possible?" Thin Monkey's face remained unchanged, and he rejected it, "I just want to put a few in my pocket and listen to the noise."
"Tsk, believe me, you are a ghost." Waving his hand, David decisively cast his eyes on the honest and honest Big Bear, and then suddenly turned his head, "Ah ha, you must have been discovered by me, don't wink... Well, Brother Big Bear, what’s the use of this medal?”
Except for Shouhou, Zhugan, Big Bear and other veterans who had been to the front line, the others in the Changqianpo camp were all from the Gray Army. Naturally, they didn't know about some of the conditions in Bran's army.
As the name suggests, the Ursine is very large and can almost rival the barbarians. He has a really honest and honest personality, and usually doesn't talk much. He scratched his head when he heard this: "Well, it has some uses. The most direct one is that with these medals, you can receive more military pay. I remember the rule more than ten years ago was , twice as much as bronze, three times as much as silver, four times as much as gold.”
"Oh!" David was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't help but swore. Then, like all soldiers, he wiped the medal carefully and put it in his pocket. Then David seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he asked again, "When you receive military pay, do you only look at the medals, and how many times as many medals as there are?"
"Haha, David, I know what your kid is thinking." The thin monkey on the side laughed when he heard this, and the old god said, "Don't you just want to steal other people's medals? Don't dream about it. It's all recorded."
David glared: "Then you still wanted to lie to me before?"
"Stupid!" Shouhou looked very contemptuous and said openly, "Even if there is a record, so many people receive military pay. As long as you are not stupid and bring a few medals with you, who will be free to check alone? ? So as long as you give the medals you got from unknown sources to your friends, you can safely get the extra military pay."
"Well, there will always be gangsters, right? What if that friend is found out?" Luke interjected and asked.
"It's okay. No one will fight against money. As long as you have the sense to give the extra military pay to the other party, he will turn a blind eye, haha..."
"I've learned a lot, I've learned a lot." David patted his forehead with a look of conviction, and then shook the golden ticket in his hand, "Brother Frey and the boss are not here, but they have told me about the distribution of the money. Well. , take out three thousand gold coins and send them to the dead brother’s family, and the rest will be divided equally among the heads.”
After a pause, David glanced sideways at Shouhou, who was silently calculating how much he could share, "By the way, Shouhou, you don't have to take this money."
"Uh...what?" Thin Monkey was stunned and screamed.
Now it was Old God David's turn. He spread the golden ticket into a fan shape and shook it: "Someone seems to have forgotten that he owed a huge debt to the boss in prison a few days ago. Well, let me do the math... Tsk tsk, what a pity, the money allocated is far from enough.”
The thin monkey was dumbfounded when he heard this. He looked at the golden tickets waving in front of his eyes, just like looking at a fat duck that had already entered the pot and then flew away...
At this moment, Tang En and Frey walked in hand in hand. Frey walked in front and waved when he saw everyone: "It has been decided to go to Cangyan Defense Area. We will set off tomorrow morning. Let's go and have a big meal first."
"oh……"
Immediately there was a burst of cheers! Even if the matter is completely over here, it is certainly worthy of celebration.
"Hey, boss, what are you holding in your hand? And what kind of reward is it?" At this time, David saw a purple wooden box in Tang En's hand, who was walking behind, and couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"Well, it's considered a reward." Tang En touched his nose. To be honest, he was a little confused now and opened the wooden box directly, "It's just a game of chess, well, a dead game."
"Huh?" David was even more surprised when he heard this. He leaned over and saw a pocket chessboard in the purple wooden box. Lifelike purple and black chess pieces were placed between the vertical and horizontal lines and spaces.
This is a war chess game that is very popular among Bran. David has limited skills, but he can understand it. At this time, the purple chess piece was in a very bad situation. The king was surrounded by black chess pieces and was besieged on all sides. But the black chess piece is also in danger, because a purple cavalry has cornered the black king.
This is an absolutely dead game. Whichever side moves first can seal the victory.
"This...Boss, do you like playing chess? Why didn't I know?" David looked at the chessboard and was very confused.
Tang En also spread his hands, he was also confused. When he received the wooden box just now, the other party only said that it was specially given to him, and he didn't know anything else.
"This chessboard and chess pieces are of good quality. Maybe it's a reward." David touched his chin and guessed. Then he grinned and got playful. He reached out and picked up the purple cavalry to kill the black king. "Haha, This looks much more pleasing to the eye...Okay, boss, let's go eat first."
"Yes." Tang En nodded in agreement, frowned slightly as he looked at the chessboard, and finally shrugged without knowing why, closed the wooden box and put it in his arms...
