Each warrior took action one after another, dug out the brain cores of the zombies they had personally killed, and then lined up to hand them in.

Chen Ning handed over the task of registering the brain nucleus to the Bull Demon King, and also instructed the Bull Demon King to take charge of the brain nucleus in the future. This order surprised the others a little, because everyone knew that the Bull Demon King was a relatively reckless guy, with a simple personality, and he was not very suitable for bookkeeping and managing materials.

However, this is Chen Ning's order, and the Bull Demon King is Chen Ning's adjutant, and it is understandable for the adjutant to do these jobs, so although everyone is a little surprised, they will not be surprised.

The Bull Demon King also wants to resign from this job, because it is necessary to register the brain core handed in by each soldier and record the military merits, which is a more troublesome job, and the Bull Demon King has a headache when he sees that he wants to keep accounts. He secretly said to Chen Ning: "Brother, register military merits, record the brain nuclei handed in by each soldier, I am not good at these bookkeeping work! Shen Bijun, Zhang Xinyi, and Zhao Jiangfeng should be able to do this job, why don't you let them come?"

Chen Ning asked the Bull Demon King to be in charge of this content, because he was a demigod, and he could use the zombie brain core instead of the water of force when cultivating, so Chen Ning did not plan to hand over all the zombie brain cores, and it was imperative to embezzle a certain amount of brain cores, so he would let his henchman Bull Demon King keep the brain core.

He said to the Bull Demon King angrily: "No, this is the adjutant's job, it must be done by you personally, and you are not allowed to be lazy in this matter." ”

The Bull Demon King had no choice, so he could only honestly take his two subordinates to register his military merits and carefully collect the zombie brain nuclei handed in by all the soldiers.

The main reward of the zombie brain core is money, but the reward of the first-level zombie brain core is only 1 silver coin, the reward of the second-level zombie is 2 silver coins, and the brain core of the third-level zombie is 4 silver coins, even if it is a seventh-level zombie, according to the empire's reward system, the brain core can only get 64 silver coins.

This reward can be said to be very small, especially the more advanced the zombie brain core, the less the reward will be relatively small, because the price of the seventh-level zombie brain core on the black market is very expensive.

Of course, if a soldier turns in his brain nucleus, it is not only for rewards, but also for military merit, in order to promote military ranks and positions.

Chen Ning had already planned that he would privately withhold some of the zombie brain cores, and he would privately pay for the bonuses of these brain cores and award them to the soldiers in the name of the empire. This is also very easy to deal with the issue of military merit and promotion of soldiers.

Because every corps commander has the right to promote the rank of his own legion grassroots soldiers, such as Chen Ning now, he can promote the soldiers in his legion at will, and promote some of them from non-commissioned officers to lieutenants.

Of course, the rules of the empire are that there are strict requirements on the number of officers in each legion and the ratio of soldiers to soldiers, which means that Chen Ning has authority, but he cannot abuse it.

However, this permission is enough for Chen Ning, he only withholds a certain amount of zombie brain cores, but rewards and promotions in ranks, the soldiers who perform well in the legion will not get less at all.

After registering, Chen Ning asked the correspondent to send an electronic battle report to the Grand Governor of Vermilion Bird City, roughly reporting the battle situation of the Black Storm Legion in Baita Town, and reporting the glorious first victory to the Grand Governor.

……

The Grand Governor was drinking tea with Yu Wenyuan in the study at this time, but he didn't expect to see the adjutant come in excitedly, and said with a surprised face: "The Grand Governor, Chen Ning's black legion, there is good news. ”

Xiao Ke and Yu Wenyuan glanced at each other, Xiao Ke smiled and said: "Hehe, Chen Ning really didn't disappoint me, when I let him sit on the throne of Wu Zhuangyuan, I had a faint feeling that he would surprise me." ”

Yu Wenyuan said complimentarily: "Haha, it seems that this kid Chen Ning is really the lucky general of the Metropolitan Governor! Last time I played chess with you, as soon as this kid came, you made a clever move to reverse the defeat; this time, the four generalissimos have just impeached you for their great achievements, drumming up martial arts, wasting the wealth of the empire, and having no substantive effect." Unexpectedly, Chen Ning, this kid, immediately made some achievements, and let the old men in the military department know that the talents selected by the Metropolitan Governor are not a waste of imperial resources, and they are not useless. This is a very loud slap in the face to the voices of those who criticize the Grand Governor. ”

Xiao Ke looked light and calm, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a smile.

After all, as the governor of the empire and the first person in the military department, he was always accused by several old men for no reason, no matter how good his temper was, no matter how calm his personality was, he was also angry in his heart, and now that Chen Ning gave him a long face, he was naturally happy.

Xiao Ke personally watched the electronic battle report sent by Chen Ning, and he saw that the Black Legion had only sacrificed three people, defeating the hundreds of zombie groups led by two seventh-level Titan zombies, and couldn't help but appreciate: "Well done, such a brilliant general, I estimate that even if an elite army like July Flowing Fire goes into battle in person, it's just that." ”

When Yu Wenyuan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the Grand Governor, and thought to himself: There are so many troops in the empire, why does the Grand Metropolitan Governor compare the Black Legion with the July Flowing Fire? Well, it may be that everyone now thinks that Chen Ning's Black Legion is a seedling cultivated by the Grand Metropolitan Governor, so it is inevitable to compare Chen Ning with the Makino of the Four Generalissimos' camp, especially since Makino has already led the July Flowing Fire to the Southern Theater of Operations. Therefore, whether it is the four generalissimos or the Grand Governor, it is inevitable that they want their own people to compare with each other's people.

Xiao Ke finished reading the battle report, and then instructed the adjutant: "Go, pass the battle report to all departments of the military department, and let the empire know that this formation has only been three months, the soldiers were all homeless before, and the commander was only a sixth-level major corps, and the brilliant first victory created." I want everyone to see how the new warriors are working hard to serve the empire, so as to remind and spur the military to treat zombies without slacking off, and not letting the little newcomers steal the limelight. ”

Adjutant: "Yes, Grand Duke!"

The Metropolitan Governor's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and on the surface, it seemed that he was promoting the outstanding performance of Chen Ning, a small army of newcomers, and aroused everyone's enthusiasm to serve the empire. But in fact, both the adjutant and Yu Wenyuan knew that the real reason why the Grand Governor wanted to hype Chen Ning's achievements was to target the four generalissimos.

Didn't you four old men accuse me of being a child's play? Didn't you say that wasting imperial resources was useless at all? Then I will report Chen Ning's achievements to the whole country now, and slap you four old men in the face!

This is the true intention of the Grand Duke.

When Chen Ning's battle achievements were publicized and passed to the four generalissimos of the imperial capital, several old men were angry, and they immediately contacted the July Drift Fire Commander in the Southern Theater Makino, and privately ordered Makino: If there is a chance, you must clean up Chen Ning, make Chen Ning ugly, and make the metropolitan governor lose face.

When Makino got the order, his side had just finished the battle in Kapok Town.

There are more than 200 rebel fighters in the town of Kapok, and there are more than 1,000 more in the town.

But how can the equipment of the rebel army compare to the July Drifting Fire army of the imperial nobles, and the July Drifting Fire is not only well-equipped, but also the strength of each soldier is very strong, and the number of troops is absolutely crushing the rebels in Kapok Town.

So the July Stream of Fire easily ended the battle, defeating more than 100 rebels, and the remaining 100 rebels and 1,000 other rebels all gave up resistance and surrendered.

More than 100 rebels who surrendered were immediately arrested and shot on the spot!

Makino instructed the adjutant: "Command the large army, continue to march towards Blackstone City, which is our next target, Blackstone City, which used to be the black market of the southern provinces, has now become an important base for the rebels, and we will wipe it out." ”

Adjutant: "Yes...... Sir, what about the more than 1,000 rebels who have attacked here?"

Rebels are residents who support the rebels, live with the rebels, and act together.

Makino squinted his eyes and whispered, "Kill them all!"

The adjutant lost his voice: "What, this must not be ......"

Makino interrupted the adjutant in a low voice: "We don't have so much food to feed the prisoners of war, and we can't spare people to guard or place them, you look at the hateful eyes of these people at us." First the Empire abandoned them, their relatives joined the rebels, and now we have just killed all their rebel relatives, and they hate us so much. Believe it or not, if we dismiss them on the spot today, they will be able to go to the rebels in other regions tomorrow and kill us with guns?"

The adjutant fell silent when he heard this, because he knew that what Makino said was true.

Makino patted the adjutant on the shoulder: "If you can't bear it, then leave a team of fighters in charge of being the executioners." Our large army will leave first, and then let the executioners do it. In this way, out of sight is pure, it may not affect your mood with me, hehe. ”
