Wolf King

Admiral Andrew, six generals, and more than 400 non-commissioned officers from each battalion (two battalions of pioneers and soldiers, and three large battalions of auxiliary soldiers) were not locked up with the soldiers. After screening the non-commissioned officers from the soldiers, These people were removed from the captive camp and sent to the mud-brick dormitory eliminated by the cat tribe for centralized detention.

This is the lesson learned when taking in the first batch of captives. If the non-commissioned officers, including the three generals of the Xiong clan, hadn’t taken the lead in fooling around and working against the soldiers who guarded and disciplined them, it wouldn’t have taken more than half a year to transform the three captives. Two-thirds of a bear's skull.

Well, after half a month of "reminiscing about bitterness and thinking about sweetness" in my camp, more than 600 people who followed General Three Bears have all transformed and become the right-hand assistants of the "Captive Transformation Front" in Huoyan City. They are General Three Bears and a few The non-commissioned officer is still stubborn, so the girls also got the treatment of squatting with Admiral Andrew.

No. [-] Cat Family Farm, the former centralized resettlement area.

More than [-]% of the cats who originally lived in the resettlement area have moved out, and those who have not moved out all live in the two rows of dormitories in the northwest corner near the side of the farm.Most of the remaining vacant houses have been turned into greenhouses, where vegetables and sweet potatoes are planted in winter, and cash crops such as peppers, beets, and tomatoes (the tomato sauce consumed by the elves is now all supplied by the grasslands) are grown in normal times. The converted house is more than enough to house a few hundred bear skulls.

Of course, it's just resettlement... No job opportunities (it's hard to convert into self-employed workers anyway, and I don't even bother to waste manpower to organize training), no wages, no extra meals, and no leisure and entertainment activities. There is only one chance to leave the house every day. Under the supervision of Tiger & Snake Clan, come out to let the wind go and stroll around.

These two tribes have a deep hatred for the bear tribe, and they will never be as gentle as the snow werewolves or the cat tribe, so the three bear generals who had "enjoyed" the superior life of captives for half a year suffered...

At lunch time on this day, General Black Bear, Aubrey held a thick noodle cake made of bean dregs and wheat bran flour, and a bean sprout soup without meat or oil. After a while, he suddenly jumped off the kang and rushed to the door The front slapped hard: "Let me out! I want to work! Give me a work meal!"

"Hey, I still want to work." In the aisle outside the door, the Snake Warrior who was in charge of delivering food sneered, and pretended to say to the Tiger Warrior who was sitting on a small bench doing manual work, "Abu, you have work here that you can arrange." give them?"

A tiger fighter named Abu was working hard in a sweet potato flour foundry, receiving a salary of ordinary snow werewolves plus five times the full bonus (after all, he knows magic). Dezhong Zhang arranged to take care of these bear heads, and even watched them for almost two months without letting him return to the foundry.Hearing this, he dexterously hooked the brightly colored small bag with wool, and said slowly: "We are a refuge here, not a prisoner camp. Huoyan City will give special policies. Don't say anything else, the prisoner camp There are so many manual jobs over there that you can pick them at will, but we don’t have enough manual jobs here.”

The sound of knocking on the door suddenly became much quieter...

The Snake Clan warrior smiled, and squatted down to look at Abugou's colorful wool bag: "The little bag you made is very nice, and it's similar to the sample I saw in Huoyan City before."

"This kind of small package only costs [-] copper coins, which is enough to buy half a pot of small incense pots, and it takes at least three hours to make one." Abu complained, "I can only get two copies a day for this kind of manual work." , there will be no more."

"So much? Then wouldn't you be able to earn almost one silver coin a day?" The snake warrior was startled.

These full-time soldiers who guard the bear's head also receive a salary, but they only have a basic salary every month, and there is no bonus. That is, the basic salary of five silver coins plus the additional bonus brought by the number of years of work.

Abu was a little proud, and pretended to complain impatiently: "Do you think it's easy to weave? You have to weave different shapes, you need to weave patterns with wool yarns of different colors, and you have to sew plastic buttons on it after you weave it." .People who live in the big cities on the Terran side like this kind of small carry-on bag, but they are very picky, and they won't spend money on a bad bag. Really, this kind of gadget that can't hold much I don’t know what they’re buying it for.”

The Snake Warrior picked up the small bag from the dustpan next to Abu and looked at it over and over again: "Well...it's only the size of two palms, and it really can't hold anything, but it looks pretty good...These two ears are tiger ears. Is it? Why is this pattern so strange... Hey, when you look closely, it looks like a chubby tiger's head?"

Abu pointed out: "This is a tiger head bag. You can see that the background color is golden yellow. The two black circles are the eyes, and this is the tiger's whiskers..."

The Snake Clan warrior understood it, and said with surprise on his face, "It turns out that this is the case. You Tiger Clan's hands are really skillful, and it would be impossible for someone else to do it."

The tiger clan... is also a cat clan, and its claws are quite dexterous... This kind of handmade cartoon bag sold to female urban residents in the human kingdom, only the cat clan can make it fast and well, and even the female workers of the human race have to retreat...

The sound of knocking on the door in the house became weak, rang a few times and then disappeared.

After the bear heads finished their lunch, the snake warriors went in to collect the tableware and waved goodbye to Abu.Not long after he left, two Tiger Clan fighters came over and exchanged greetings with Abu. After Abu put away the hand tools, the three of them opened the door together and released the guys who had been locked up all day. Let the wind go.

"You are only allowed to walk around here, you are not allowed to leave the main force, you are not allowed to go to other places, and you are not allowed to fight and make trouble!" Abu and two companions brought the heads of more than [-] bears to the square where the cat clan used to work. After sternly reprimanding a few words, the three of them squatted aside to chat together.

If there is a disturbance in any dormitory, all the staff will be cancelled, and the food will be halved the next day. After a few lessons, these bear heads have settled down a lot, and they, the caretakers, can save some time.

As soon as Aubrey arrived at the square, he stared wide-eyed and looked around the square. In order to "accommodate" them, the square and the houses where they lived were surrounded by earthen walls. Fortunately, the walls were not too high. You can see the cat family farm buildings not far away, and you can also see the fields in the distance.

Looking around, Aubrey's face showed disappointment again... The cats that can be vaguely seen are all busy with their own affairs, and no one cares about the people and things in the fence here. Most importantly, Aubrey didn't see a single snow werewolf.

…When the Snow Werewolves blocked the canyon to "close the door and beat the bear", the Black Bear General hated these orcs who abandoned the Far East, but now, seeing those stupid big guys, Aubrey just felt panicked—— Compared with the Moon Bear Army of "our own people" and the Tiger & Snake Clan who are currently guarding them, the Snow Werewolves are so friendly and reassuring!

Especially after being transferred here and eating the "prison meal" made by the snake clan for almost two months, Aubrey wished he could treat the cafeteria staff who delivered meals to them as relatives...

The square is very spacious, and it still looks empty after hundreds of bears are thrown into it. Some bears’ heads are gathered together and miss their hometown every sentence. Sitting down in a daze, some surrounded Admiral Andrew, all of them looked gloomy, and they didn't know what they were discussing.

Aubrey has no interest in getting close to Andrew. This moon bear veteran is one of the people he hates the most now. After walking aimlessly for a few steps, he naturally walked towards Bazel and Wood who were squatting together. Sit down next to the two brothers.

The three fellow sufferers sat side by side, staring blankly at the fellows wandering around in the square, and no one spoke.

During the [-] or so days when they were thrown in the same carriage and imprisoned in the Moon Bear Army, the three of them had already finished talking about all the topics they could talk about.Aubrey knows exactly what Bazel's youngest cub likes to eat... Bazel and Wood have heard about his own situation countless times.

White Bear General Wood suddenly let out a long sigh.

Aubrey and Bazel turned their gazes to the big white-haired man at the same time. They knew that this guy was about to speak... Although they were not very interested in what he would say, it was better than doing nothing.

Wood turned his head to look at the two of them, with a distressed expression on his face: "You said...will it be our army who will come next time?"

Aubrey & Bazel were silent.

Needless to say, Bazel, the shrewdest, as a general of the black bear clan, Aubrey knew well that the Beast Emperor would not easily consume the warriors of the black bear clan without finding out the details of the prairie people.Just like last year's elite soldier beheading plan, the Beast Emperor asked Moon Bear & White Bear to attack the grassland people's lair, but let the largest army of black bears steal the grassland people's monosodium glutamate factory. don't suffer...

Uh... Although it is not cheap, it is worth posting upside down.

Wood didn't want to hear the exact words from the two brothers, so he turned his head away and continued to stare at the fellows wandering on the field in a daze.

How long have the three of them been prisoners, no one can influence the rear's decision, even hatred is meaningless.

Several black bears who were squatting in the corner and whispering seemed to have made some decision, they got up together and walked towards Aubrey.

"General, we..." One of them was pushed to the front by his companions, opened his head with difficulty, and then lowered his head in shame.

Aubrey raised his head and looked at these people one by one. They were all low-level non-commissioned officers. They were all young and had no companion cubs... He slowly closed his eyes, so what about those who have family members in the Far East? Many people have family members. Didn't they resolutely join the prairie people and abandon the Far East?

"You have made your own choice, so don't tell me." General Black Bear said with difficulty, "I just hope you don't forget that the Far East is our home, our hometown."

"General." A person standing behind suddenly raised his head and looked over with piercing eyes, "Did you hear what the snake guards said about the drama in the prisoner camp?"

Aubrey's face changed slightly, and Bazel & Wood also turned their gazes.

The black bear soldier was a little afraid of the majesty of the generals, but he still said firmly: "My mother has been a team officer all her life, from sergeant to sergeant. I have also been a team officer for ten years, and I have always been a sergeant. I , and my future cubs, my cubs' cubs... will my descendants have a chance to be promoted to lieutenant?"

The three generals were silent.

Team officers (non-commissioned officers), similar to the head of the Tiger Clan, are generally selected from elite fighters.

In the era of the Tiger Emperor, outstanding fighters could be promoted from warriors to generals (analogous to generals), because the Tiger Emperor attached great importance to the military force of the army. In the army, this kind of ethos of respecting martial arts can give soldiers hope.

In the era of Emperor Xiong, the traces left by the Emperor Tiger were all wiped away by the Emperor Xiong. Naturally, there is also a martial atmosphere with equal advantages and disadvantages... Of course there are advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious...Professional soldiers, Professional non-commissioned officers and professional military officers, even if they eat in the same pot, they will never communicate with each other—or, in other words, they will not circulate upwards, and the upward door is always closed.

The middle class in the established society always has the illusion of "being closer to the upper class" and looks down on civilians. Of course, the non-commissioned officers in the army have similar problems."The White-haired Girl", which was launched for the ideological transformation of ordinary soldiers, uncovered the scars that the soldiers ignored intentionally or unintentionally, and it will naturally poke the sore spots of the non-commissioned officers-the middle class is actually closer to the bottom, and the non-commissioned officers are actually farther away from the officers. The general distance of the sky.

Especially Xia's line "I have never heard of a person whose parents are not generals can become a general", it is simply a shock to those who eat the army's dinner...

"Sure enough, it's here." Aubrey thought this thought in his mind, unexpectedly not too angry.

The Black Bear Clan is more irritable, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to think... The Bear Clan are not barbarians like the Snow Wolf Clan. Barbarians can become smarter, not to mention that the IQ of the Bear Clan is not low in the first place?

If it was an ordinary time, such a drama that takes the pleasure of exposing the "truth in the world" would not cause much trouble. A wealthy person with a relatively stable life, even if he knows that he is at the bottom of the food chain, he will rarely abandon his existing life. All the courage to break free from the shackles.

But now the entire army is a prisoner of others, and the distance between soldiers and generals has been completely shattered. There is no need to go through the pain of giving up everything on their own. Naturally, there are more people who are brave enough to make choices.

Gently nodding his head, Aubrey maintained the dignity of a general, and said indifferently: "Whatever you want to do, do it. I hope you will remember that you have abandoned your hometown, but your hometown has not abandoned you."

The few black bears breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped back and left.

The female black bear who dared to question the general face to face hesitated, walked a few steps and then turned her head, looking directly at the general black bear: "General Aubrey, if you can go back to the Far East, can you continue to be a general? Your cub Can he still be a general?"

After the female black bear said this, she walked away with her companions without looking back, towards the chatting tiger warriors at the edge of the square, towards their new life.

General Black Bear, who stayed where he was, was stabbed in the heart by these words...

"You little bastard, don't you know that the more you have nothing to say, the more you have to leave room for others?" Aubrey cursed angrily, and turned his head to look at the two brothers in embarrassment.

Bazel tilted his head and didn't know what he was thinking, while Wood was still staring blankly at his compatriots on the court.

Aubrey made a low self-deprecating "Hey", it's not surprising that the two of them didn't watch his excitement, they both fell into the same pit, what's the difference between making fun of others and making fun of themselves.

The three old brothers who are so embarrassed have practiced in this aspect anyway.

The troupe of "The White-haired Girl" was staged three times in the prison camp, and after getting good response, they came to the shelter full of confidence and performed to the "reactionary main force" composed of hundreds of non-commissioned officers, officers, and generals.

Before the performance started, those who pulled the rolling stone (that is, a large cylindrical stone processed into a long column) and set up the stage were all progressives who performed well in the prisoner camp and got the job opportunity to leave the camp. Hal the White Bear was in it .When Wood saw the elite warriors of this tribe enthusiastically helping the prairie people during the wind, General White Bear's face twitched violently even though he was used to this kind of scene.

The stage was set up, the troupe was in place, and under the arrangement of Tiger Clan & Snake Clan, hundreds of inmates were seated in groups according to the dormitory they lived in. The cat clan still living in the resettlement room also came to watch the excitement.

The music recorded in the sound shell (provided by the bard) plays, and the cast and crew take the stage to start the performance.

Unlike the spectacular scene where the audience cries with the snow leopard cubs during the performance in the prison camp, the more desolate the snow leopard cubs, the more embarrassing the audience in the audience-they belong to the "privileged class" in the Far East, and they are basically the same as those on the stage. The villains are on the same side!

Finding excuses to increase taxes during the harvest season, wantonly expropriating the labor of the tribe, this kind of behavior, all officers above the school level have more or less been involved in it... There is a large area of ​​wasteland in the Far East, and it is difficult for those with power not to build some land themselves" To generate income”, hiring professional farmers is of course not as cost-effective as expropriating the middle and bottom of the clan.

When the elders and deacons took back the houses and fields of the lost cubs, some officers began to fidget... It's not uncommon in this world to eat an extinct family.The human race is generally close relatives who stutter, while the orc race with weak kinship maintenance, that is whoever has the power, who is "closer", and who stutters...

When the snake clan actors who played the villains staged the division of the Cub Hall’s funds, and expressed their envy and hatred for those who could get the "big project" of the clan's money, even General Aubrey began to look embarrassed... As a general, he only has an annual income of [-] gold coins on the surface, and those gray incomes that are difficult for outsiders to know naturally include "filial piety" from various channels!

After a scene, the officer of Ice Bear doesn't keep twisting and turning like a needle in his butt... The environment and resources of Ice Bear's life are too poor, and they must be closely grouped to ensure their survival. There are not so many powerful people" Realize" space.

In the last scene of the play, when the villain Xia began to poke everyone's heart bitterly, even General Wood began to look unnatural... Things like the solidification of class stratification and the closure of upward passages can last for decades and hundreds of years A relatively peaceful and stable society will emerge, and the Ice Bears are no exception!

On one side of the stage, Hal and others, who were sitting with the theater staff and the Snow Wolf Clan fighters, were half focused on observing the audience's reaction.

The curtain closed, and the hundreds of bear heads in the audience were silent.

A Yan, who was in charge of the security work of the troupe, smiled, poked the fat bear sitting next to him with his finger, and lowered his voice: "See, it's not that they don't know what they did wrong, but those who suffered injustice anyway They can't see how miserable it is, so they can live their lives with peace of mind."

Hal nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the white bear general Wood whom he had respected so much, a little angry and a little uncomfortable.

"I will tell everyone the truth about the reactions of the... containment personnel." Hal said with difficulty but forcefully.

Ah Yan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, calling everyone to get up and clean up the stage.

Hmm... The white bear has the same white fur, the same strong body, and the same resistance to cold and heat as the snow werewolf. It is normal for the two sides to have a revolutionary friendship...

When these transformed bear tribe warriors helped to dismantle the stage, the crowd who were organized by the tiger tribe and snake tribe guards to return to the dormitory suddenly started to commotion.

Ayan glanced over there, beckoned to several snow werewolf warriors to follow him, and strode towards the stopped bear heads to help maintain order.

After a short commotion, Abu, a tiger warrior, and two of his fellow tribes arrested the Moon Bear sergeant who had caused the dispute, and asked the others to send the bear heads back to the dormitory first, and put the stunned head who tried to pounce on a certain Moon Bear general Qing pulled aside and gathered around to talk.

"What's the matter with you, don't you know what will happen if you make trouble? You want to drag the whole dormitory with you to be locked up and hungry?" Abu sternly scolded, usually he would not be so angry, but this time There is a snow werewolf watching!

"I just want to ask the general if he knows about my father being transferred to the sea!" Sergeant Xiong said this month with a look of resentment.

"Sea border?" Abu's eyes were darkened at Far East, and he subconsciously looked at Ayan who came to see the situation.

A Yan spread his hands, the Far East he knew was limited to the information brought back by Primo.

"I know." Hal, who followed A Yan, hurriedly tried to express himself, "The Sea Territory is the eastern border of the Empire, the wasteland facing the endless sea, because it is too barren, no race has occupied it, and it is the most remote territory of the Empire. .”

Abu & Ayan let out an "oh", the lines of Emotional Xia really involved a sufferer...

"If you have any questions, you can ask them when you encounter them during the next airing. It is wrong for you to suddenly act impulsively to disrupt the collective order. Everyone was watching the performance happily, but you are suddenly involved, and everyone in the same dormitory as you will be punished." You get involved, do you think it's decent?" Abu was stern, and began to criticize and educate this inmate... He must not have the patience in normal times, and he would beat up anyone who caused trouble, but now... Isn't there a snow werewolf watching? !

Sergeant Moon Bear's complexion changed, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Hal who was standing with the Snow Werewolf, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to be like him too, what should I do?"

Be it the Snow Werewolf or the Tiger Clan, the fighters on both sides were shocked!

After being frightened, Abu and other Tiger Clan fighters showed cheerful smiles, rushed forward enthusiastically, and greeted the detainee. Since this period of time, those who walked out of the shelter and returned to the prisoner camp to receive transformation education were the first batch of prisoners. Among the second batch of non-commissioned officers who actively expressed their intention to receive education and reform, this guy is still No.1!

The guards of these shelters also have "performance". During the period of detention, they will get a bonus for every person sent to the prisoner camp-Huoyan City is indeed impatient to waste manpower on these determined "reactionaries", but no one Don't you despise labor!

The so-called non-commissioned officers are the backbone of the army at the lowest level of professional soldiers. They are higher than elite soldiers and lower than professional officers. They can also receive relatively good military subsidies at ordinary times, and they are responsible for leading soldiers to charge in wartime.

In the full-time professional army with smooth circulation channels, non-commissioned officers are selected from professional soldiers as reserve officers. Becoming a non-commissioned officer is the first step to become an officer. Selena who rose to the rank of second lieutenant.

But that's just normal...

In the Far Eastern Empire, where the interior is peaceful, and only others are guarding against their aggression, and no outsiders are invading them, the officer reserve of the non-commissioned officer will basically always be the reserve — even during the war with the elves, the non-commissioned officers are the ones who consume the most besides the soldiers. No casualties.How many radishes can be planted in such a small radish pit?

"In this way, non-commissioned officers are also very valuable for transformation." Xiao Yun, who received the report two days later, happily handed over the typo-filled report written by the Tiger Clan to the head of the Labor Department, who was in charge of the prisoner transformation project. , laughingly, "Should we conduct another screening of the shelters, select all the generals and below, and arrange people to carry out ideological reform?"

"Add more workload to me." The grassroots patriarch complained, but she couldn't see any resentment from her radiant face... This is also a normal thing, how many people are eyeing the manpower of the prison camp Well, the next day, being surrounded by people to please and beg, anyone has to be full of energy and fighting spirit.

"You have worked so hard. Sergeants have seen the world and eaten meat. It is indeed more difficult to transform than ordinary fighters and elite fighters. But if the transformation is completed, the effect will be greater than that of ordinary fighters." Xiao Yun laughed. "Among the 300 people going to Hongye, four were former non-commissioned officers. It hasn't been a week since they went to the coal yard. Not only have they set up a shelf, but they have also managed it in an orderly manner."

"Why don't you say that now everyone finds it useful to be a non-commissioned officer, and they are all dissatisfied with the original distribution policy, asking for re-election, how much trouble has caused me here? How many non-commissioned officers have only been transformed!" Grassroots The patriarch gave him a white look.

"It's okay, it's okay, this batch of non-commissioned officers is finished, the Beast Emperor will send us another batch!" Xiao Yun smiled and took out the letter sent back by Primo, "Look, the ones who will come this time are all As for our old friends, there are Lion Clan, Tea Bear Clan, Fox Clan and Wing Clan."

"Hey, isn't it the white bear's army?" Yu, who was paddling beside him, said in shock.

"We're going to fight the Lion Clan tea bears?!" Snow Flower was completely taken aback. "Here, our white sugar has just been delivered! There's a fight here, what shall we do with their business?"

Xiao Yun calmly said: "Don't worry, business is business, and war is war. There is no conflict between the two sides. Besides, in our territory, we have the final say on whether to fight or not, and how to fight?"
