Cultivation of the Elf Continent

Halson followed the soldier and came to a barracks. Before he entered, he heard bursts of shouts, "Da Da", a large circle of soldiers gathered around a table, and a soldier with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, The dice were being shaken, and the soldiers watching put copper coins and silver coins on the table with big or small pictures, and then stared at the shaking dice with blood-red eyes. They gathered in the military camp to gamble, and there was something more complicated than this. Is this a ridiculous thing? Halson's three views were refreshed again. It's hard to believe that this is the current situation of the country's army. In this continent, there are very few armies composed of full-time soldiers, and more of them are followers and guards of the nobles. The entire Austin Empire has only three full-time armies, and the Zhenbei Army is one of them. Military expenses are paid by the empire's finances. The Zhenbei Army was established to resist the invasion of the northern orcs. In fact, this The continent does not have a mature military system. The territory of the empire is managed by each feudal noble. The king enjoys the tribute of the feudal nobles and can issue orders to the feudal nobles, but has no right to interfere with matters within the feudal territory. The king is sealed at the border. The nobles need to take on the task of guarding the border. Of course, because the northern orcs are too powerful, not a single feudal noble force can resist them, so the empire established the Northern Suppression Army. With the defeat of the orcs and the stability of more than a hundred years, the empire passed Disarmament, repeated reductions in military expenditures for the Zhenbei Army, have shrunk this army of tens of thousands to just over 300 people. After all, the military expenditures of the army are a huge expense for the empire, but that's it. The army should not have fallen to such a low level. Looking at the soldiers caught in the gambling game, Harson shook his head and left. Harson wanted to find the leader of the army, the viscount commander who was arranged here by the earl's father. Daniel was very Quickly, a distinctive house appeared in front of him. Compared with other dilapidated houses, this house was much better. Halson ducked into it, and waves of vague moans came out. Could it be that someone was injured? Through the gap in the door, a fat-headed officer sat behind the desk, leaning on the seat with his eyes closed. A faint voice came out. Halson was about to enter to check, and a water arrow came out. Shooting at Halson who was in the invisible state, "Who" a figure flashed out from the side room, looking at the place where Halson was hiding vigilantly. Halson emerged from the invisible state, with a "fire shield" to block the water arrows. , producing a large amount of water vapor. "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to see Commander Viscount Daniel." Halson hurriedly expressed his purpose of coming, not wanting to conflict with him. Seeing the "Fire Shield" protecting Halson, the figure was a little surprised. Speaking of "Elven Messenger", the sound outside alerted the fat guy in the room. A rustling sound came out along with a roar, "Abel, what happened?" "Adjutant Luo" "Someone is looking for the Viscount Commander." The man who found Halson said expressionlessly, "Let him in." Halson pushed the door open and came in. A fat-headed officer sat behind the desk, a charming prostitute. , massaging his shoulders on the side, Halson was still wondering why he didn't see this woman just now. "Who are you asking the commander for?" The fat-headed and big-eared officer looked at Halson up and down, and asked General Halson. The officer's letter of resignation from the border town guard was handed to Adjutant Luo, and he asked, "Where is Commander Viscount Daniel?" The fat-headed officer looked at the letter of resignation carefully, with a gloomy expression on his face, wondering what he was thinking after a long while. The officer immediately changed his appearance, hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said with a smile, "It turns out that the newly appointed commander Harson is under Adjutant Luo." Harson sat down in the seat where Adjutant Luo was sitting and continued to ask. , "Where is the Commander-in-Chief Viscount?" "Well, Commander-in-Chief Viscount has gone hunting with his people," Adjutant Luo replied. Hearing Adjutant Luo's answer, Halson's eyebrows knitted together. This was the important task entrusted to him by his Earl father. Instead of stationing in the camp, he took the soldiers out to hunt. The military camp was in a mess and full of smoke. "Adjutant Luo, immediately send someone to inform the commander of the viscount," Halson gave the first order, "Um, this, actually I I don’t know where the Viscount Commander went hunting.” Adjutant Luo said a little embarrassed. Hearing Adjutant Luo’s words, Halson’s brows furrowed even more tightly, “Forget it, let’s ignore the Viscount Commander for now, let’s get to know the military camp first. "Situation," Halson thought, and said, "Adjutant Luo, bring me the roster of the military camp." "Uh, um, no." Adjutant Luo hesitated for a moment and gave the answer, looking at Halson's gloomy face. , hurriedly explained, "Recently, the personnel in the military camp have been mobilized frequently, so there is no roster." Halson's face was gloomy. After a while, he said, "You are the biggest officer in the military camp now, right, Adjutant Luo?" "Uh," Luo The adjutant didn't know what Halson meant. He returned to "In the military camp, people gather to gamble, do you know?" Halson asked with a gloomy face, "Um, um," "Soldiers openly accept bribes, do you know?" "Uh, "This," looking at the speechless Adjutant Luo, Halson slammed the table and glared majestically, "I don't know how to manage it before, but now that I am the commander of this military camp, then you have to do what I want. Come." "Assemble the troops to the school grounds," Halson said. "Uh, most of the soldiers are not in the military camp now, so" Adjutant Luo said with a little sweat on his head. "Where are the people?" "Uh, the army is currently serving There are 60 soldiers. Among them, the Viscount Commander took about 200 to 1000 people to go hunting, and 200 people went out to perform tasks. There are only dozens of people in the camp now. "Adjutant Luo said carefully, "Isn't it a 200-person establishment? "Point people." Halson asked in surprise, "Um, it seems that the military has been dismantled because of insufficient military spending." Adjutant Luo replied, "What mission are [-] people going to perform?" Halson continued to ask, "That," Adjutant Luo's head was sweating for a long time. Unable to speak a word, Halson said with a gloomy face, "Adjutant Luo, I give you a limit of one hour to gather the soldiers in the school grounds. If you can't do it, you will be punished with fifty lashes." "Well, command your Excellency to hunt. ," Adjutant Luo said hurriedly when he heard what Harson said. For Adjutant Luo, he is afraid of meeting a young man like Harson who doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons. "The people taken away by the Viscount Commander, let me tell you something else." Halson said "[-] people, go out to perform a mission," Adjutant Luo continued, "What mission to perform?" Halson continued to press, because Halson clearly saw three soldiers passing by him, and soon Obviously, there may be many people wandering around like this. "Um, mission, they went to escort supplies." Adjutant Luo made an excuse. "Oh, when will the supplies come back?" Halson rubbed his chin and asked meaningfully.
