"Ma'am. ”

"Miss. ”

As he spoke, a medium-sized mountain city had already appeared in front of the group.

The gates of the mountain city were wide open, and the crowd of people on both sides was crowded.

There are various ways to greet each other, including the standard military salute of the eternal night, a bow salute, and a chest salute.

In the same way, the excited and eager gaze of the group looked at Sean.

At the head of the group was a tall Andes, with a dark face, white temples, and piercing eyes, aged between middle-aged and old-aged, his arms and legs were thicker than ordinary people, and his finger joints were thicker.

This person's name is Upton, and he is the commander of the Mountain Patrol Guard, and he can be regarded as a middle-to-senior officer in the Eternal Night Army's leadership establishment, and he has studied in the consciousness space of the Northern Fortress, and he is quite familiar with Sean.

"Captain Upton, long time no see. More than twenty steps from the city gate, Sean had already turned over and dismounted, "Didn't my herald convey my intentions in place?

"Conveyed in place, conveyed in place, it was I who did not implement it in place, as soon as these citizens heard that the lord was here in person, they ran over to see the excitement, we couldn't stop it, it was my secrecy work that was not done well, and it added a lot of undue safety hazards to the lord, to the lady, to the lady, and to the lady, and asked the lord to punish him. Captain Upton rubbed his big thick hands, his big dark face full of shame.

"It's not that I have safety concerns, I just don't want to waste money and money, forget it, their feelings can be understood, I don't blame you, and you don't embarrass them afterwards. Sean also knew that he would go all the way without causing any sensation, which was wishful thinking.

In the eyes of these people, they are more precious than rare animals that are rare in a hundred years.

Whether it's out of love for oneself or looking at strangeness, it's normal to automatically gather over when you hear the news of your passing.

"This is natural, they have come to greet the lord, completely out of respect for the lord, how can I trouble them?" "Lord Upton shook his head again and again, "Lord Lord, please inside, you are the first time to come to our Sword Ridge, come to the headquarters of our mountain patrol guard, I will take you to visit, and guide our work by the way." ”

"Lead the way. This time, Sean was not polite.

He came to patrol the mountain guards this time, and he really had a purpose.

You must know that Jianling is not on their way, and Sean has made a big circle when he walks this way.

The situation of Jianling is that the standard old bottle is new wine.

To say that it is an old bottle refers to its origin.

It is one of the three caves and eight cities of the old Andes before the rise of the Eternal Night Warlord, and it has the longest history and the most well-preserved old view.

Such as Shangshui City, Xiashui City, Four Water City, and so on.

They were either completely submerged with the resumption of the Jacob River, or they were abandoned one after another as the water level of the Andes Inland Lake dropped dramatically, turning into rugged and difficult mountain towns.

There are also places like Haiyin, March, and Jiuquan that have excellent geographical locations, which have become the focus of the reconstruction of the Eternal Night Military Leader, not to mention the appearance of the original residence, and even the surrounding geographical environment has been artificially transformed a lot.

Even if you were born and raised there, if you had left twenty years ago, you would not have been able to go back now, and you would not have recognized your former hometown.

As for the new wine.

Although this place is still the same Sword Ridge City, sixty or seventy percent of the people who live here are not the original residents.

Most of the inhabitants left their original homes and went to the more convenient and fertile Andes Basin to establish new homes, thanks to the constant propaganda and encouragement of the Eternal Night Warlords.

It was once decayed and almost abandoned.

As for the reason, just listen to its name, this place is backed by a mountain, like a big sword out of the sheath, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the age of chaos, it is definitely a natural refuge.

But being in the heart of a territory makes it much less useful.

Especially for the Eternal Night Commander, who attaches great importance to the convenience of transportation, the difficulty of building a highway is too high, and over time, it will naturally be abandoned.

However, with the frequent occurrence of beast reversion mutation events and the establishment of the mountain patrol team, this place was slowly used again, and after the magic guide tractor was opened, it was located as the headquarters of the mountain patrol guard.

This is also due to geographical location.

Research by the relevant departments of the Eternal Night Army Leader has shown that magic energy is the most important cause of the beast's rejuvenating mutation.

The higher the concentration of spell energy in their environment, the greater the chance that the beast will mutate.

The development and application of magic energy in the Northern Fortress, the development of magic farmland, and the use of magic tractors have all caused the concentration of spells in the surrounding area to soar rapidly, making the mountainous area between the Northern Fortress and New Brissan a hard-hit area for biological rejuvenation.

The Sword Ridge is located in the center, just overlooking the entire area, which is convenient for the patrol guards to patrol the mountain and hunt those ancient mutant beasts.

The opening of the magic tractor has made up for the last shortcoming of Jianling.

Jianling has its own transfer station and a three-box small magic tractor, which can transport people and goods, which basically solves the problem of entering and exiting Jianling.

With the development of military leaders, the functions of the mountain patrol guards are also changing imperceptibly.

From the very beginning, he protected the scattered villages and hunted the ancient mutant beasts that posed a threat to the safety of the villagers.

Slowly guarding the roads in the territory, Ember Qing will arrest the existence of surrounding threats.

This threat is not limited to wild beasts, but also to corrupt elements such as bandits, road blockers, and road bandits.

The internal security of the Eternal Night Commander is only a little better than that of other Commanders, and there is still a long way to go before the road is left behind.

Even though the Eternal Night Army Leader has been established for nearly twenty years, he has spared no effort to promote his policies.

There are still cases where the Andes don't know what the Eternal Night Leader is and who Sean is, let alone obey the laws of the Eternal Night Lord.

Of course, this is a rare case.

With the opening of the magic guide tractor, the patrol patrol team has one more focus - the area around the underground energy channel.

The characteristics of the atavistic mutant beasts make them have a strong tendency to the environment with a relatively high concentration of magic energy.

It's just that it's easy to say that the simple predator rejuvenated mutated beasts, but I am afraid that those moles, gophers and other beasts that can make holes will mutate and make holes around the underground energy channel, thus posing a threat to the safety of the magic tractor.

"This is the Jianfeng Watchtower, the highest peak within a hundred kilometers, with a good view, equipped with four high-powered telescopes, and twelve people on duty all year round. Captain Upton introduced in a proud tone.

"Very nice. Sean fiddled with a pair of high-powered glasses, observing the situation in the surrounding mountains, and praised: "You are combining the way of patrolling and stationing, it is worth promoting, with the development of the military leader, the responsibility on your shoulders will only get heavier and heavier, it can be seen from the statistical report you hand over every year, the frequency of monsters is getting higher and higher, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger, and your escort team must also keep up with the pace of development, so as to better protect the safety of the people." ”

"Your Excellency's advice is that we do have some practical difficulties in terms of personnel expansion. Captain Upton looked like he was about to say something.

"Tell me about it. Sean's face sank.

Commander Upton rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said: "The main thing is the problem of establishment, over the years, our mountain patrol guard, the regular army is not a regular army, the local army is not a local army, and even the garrison is not counted, the initial main members are composed of experienced hunters who have no way to adapt to the army, they can not care about this, but young people can't."

There are too many choices for them, the smart-minded ones all go to the academy city to go to school, and the stupid ones are the first direction of their efforts to join the major legions, no matter how bad they are, they will also choose to become businessmen or join the factory, and there are really few young people who are willing to do this kind of hard work, tiring work, and boring work.

In the past few years, we have not had many new blood to join the mountain patrol team.

If this situation continues, the old group of mountain patrol guards will die, the wounded, the disabled, and the old will not be able to run one after another, but there will be a big gap.

This matter is really beyond the scope of what I can solve, and I ask the lord to take a clear look.

If the lord thinks that the mountain patrol guard is still useful and worth keeping, can you adjust some policies and give us a little support?"

"I know something about this, and that's one of the purposes of my trip. Sean paced back and forth for two steps, "Has the regimental commander considered the real reason for the lack of green and yellow guards on the mountain patrol?"

"Forgive me for not being able to understand the meaning of my lord's words. Captain Upton's face was full of confusion.

"The reluctance of young people today to join the mountain patrol is the direct cause of your lack of talent, but it is not the root cause. Sean thought about it and said, "It may not sound good to say, but there is an indisputable fact, the mountain patrol guard is an imperfect product produced in the development process of the military leader, and what really makes the mountain patrol guard green is the existing operation mode of the mountain patrol guard, which is a bit unable to keep up with the development speed of the military leader." ”

Looking up at Commander Upton's somewhat shocked expression, he said, "Commander, don't get me wrong, I don't deny the contribution made by the Mountain Patrol Guard to the military leader, and its internal effect of stabilizing the military leader, but the current operation mode of the Mountain Patrol Guard is somewhat out of touch with the overall operation of the military leader, and overlaps with the effectiveness of the increasingly perfect municipal security system. ”

"This is my dereliction of duty, and I ask the lord to punish me. Commander Upton's sweat flowed down his face, and he took the initiative to confess.

"I'm not here to hold accountable. Sean waved his hand and said, "This kind of thing can't be generalized, and it's not right to assign all the blame to you, maybe there are problems with the actions of the local security personnel, but the fundamental responsibility is still in the territory policy itself, and there are loopholes in the unclear division of responsibilities."

The municipal security system is the general trend of the military leadership in the future, and the main responsibility of this system is to maintain local law and order, and the attrito-ancient mutation incident that you are now responsible for is a kind of local public security, and once the municipal security system is perfected, you will have no place to use it, and the military leader will not support two teams for the same thing, and then it will not become a problem of the past, but will have to face disbandment and banning. ”

Commander Upton smiled heartily and said: "This question, when the mountain patrol guard was just established, I heard from the lord that I didn't believe it at the time, but with the continuous development of the territory, it really confirmed what the lord said, and we have already been mentally prepared."

If the territory needs us for a day, we will patrol the mountains and protect the roads for a day.

When the day comes when the territory doesn't need us, the lord only needs a word, and we will put down our bows, put away our swords, recall the hounds, and return to the field.

If you can't be idle, you take the initiative to find a deserted mountain and continue to guard the mountain for the lord.

There are so many mountains in our territory, it is impossible for them all to be occupied by towns, right?

Things are man-made, as long as you want to, there is always a place to shine. ”

"The regimental leader's loyalty to the territory is really touching. Sean said with high affirmation, "But there is no precedent for our territory to let meritorious men shed blood and tears, not to mention that you have guarded this land for many years and have rich experience, and you can't bury it in vain."

In this way, when the military conference is held at the end of this year, the main responsible persons of the mountain patrol guard unit and the municipal security system will meet to further clarify the division of their respective responsibilities and learn from each other's strong points and develop together.

The municipal security system has a perfect personnel supply mechanism that you don't have, and you can properly draw new people from there.

I believe that the municipal security system also needs your rich field experience, and some of the work can even be done together, after all, we are all striving for the same goal of making the people live a better life, and this will never change. ”

"It would be great if you could do that, thank you, Lord. Captain Upton said happily.

Sean's statement just now is equivalent to officially putting the mountain patrol guard and the municipal guard team in the same position, and there is a faint meaning to let the two be combined.

It's just to take care of my face and emotions, so I didn't say it directly.

This is not a way out for the mountain patrol guards.

Although some of their duties are in conflict with those of the municipal guards.

But the focus is different.

The municipal garrison is mainly aimed at maintaining the internal security of the town, mainly against people.

The main duty of the mountain patrol guard is in the wild, mainly against the monsters and beasts, and then people.

The combination of the two, one inside and one outside, can ensure the internal security of the military leader to the greatest extent.
