Chapter 305: Taking Appointment, Patrolling the Camp (Text)
The garrison of the Zhongshan Island base has already received the news that the new garrison commander is about to take up his post.
Therefore, as soon as the three-ship team to which Li Qing and the others belonged arrived at Zhongshan Island, a warship came to greet the pilot.
Under the guidance of the pilot ship, the three ships entered the port and anchored one after another. The former supreme commander of the base, who had already taken the naval officers who were not on duty, had been waiting on the dock for a long time.
Normally, it is difficult for an inexplicable airborne commander to be respected by the front-line soldiers.
However, when Xiaolongnu delivered the news of Li Qing's appointment, she solemnly sent Li Qing's brilliant achievements in killing Isoji, the Nine Dragons Sword Saint, the Demon Fox Incarnation, and even Xuan Baosong to Zhongshan Island.
In the face of Li Qing, who has such an impressive record, even if he is young, has no background, and is an airborne commander, no one dares to disrespect him in the slightest.
The style of the army has always been crisp and neat. Now that it's time for war, everything is simpler, and there is not so much red tape. After exchanging a few words with the team of naval officers who lined up at the dock to welcome them, and introduced each other to each other, Li Qing and the others went to the barracks to prepare to make up their posts. The elite Amaterasu troops on the transport ship unloaded the ship's supplies with the help of the service personnel in the base.
The process of handing over duties is cumbersome. Check the seals, confirm the identity, count the personnel of the base, inspect the facilities, check the ordnance, check the warehouse...... After confirming that everything is correct, the seal will be officially handed over and signed and pledged.
Even if Li Qing had the help of Chu Lingfeng and others, he was busy for more than two hours before he completed this series of processes.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qing took over the seal of the garrison commander from the former commander of the base, and finally officially took up his post and became the supreme commander of the Zhongshan Island base, commanding more than 4,000 naval and marine corps, and serving the army for 300 days, and 17 mermaids, responsible for the defense of Zhongshan Island.
The former commander of the base returned to the port of Liuzhou with the two escort warships and transport ships that had returned to the sea, and went to another post.
……
The base of Zhongshan Island is divided into two parts: sea and land.
The naval fleet military port is a group of fortress-style buildings covering an area of about 20 acres.
Each fortress in the fortress complex is made of huge stones, and the wall with a base thickness of up to 10 meters is impressively integrated, and there is not a single gap in sight, as if it was formed naturally. There are all kinds of defensive facilities such as gun emplacements, shooting holes, and sorcerer's towers.
When the sailors went ashore to rest, they were actually in the military port fortress group. Due to the limited number of soldiers, the sailors also had to undertake certain port garrison tasks when they went ashore to recuperate.
The Marine Corps camp is located on a hill next to the harbor.
There are also a series of fortress-shaped forts built on the mountain, which are also made of stone and are integrated. Each battery in the fortress group has a total of 116 light and heavy guns, which are operated by the marines.
Li Qing's garrison commander's office was in the fortress group on the mountain.
On the surface, the defenses of the Zhongshan base are quite powerful, they are simply indestructible and impregnable - the ten-meter-thick pure stone wall at the base, even if it is a high-explosive bomb on the earth, it is not so easy to collapse. God knows how long it will take for the road to be blasted before the walls can be peeled off layer by layer. Not to mention the black powder guns in this world.
But the problem is that there is a transcendent power in this world.
If there is no extraordinary strength, with the two fortresses in the Zhongshan base, under the garrison of more than 4,000 people, as long as there is sufficient weapons and ammunition, and there is no shortage of food, drinking water and medicine, the enemy's 100,000 troops may not be able to storm down.
But in the world realm with extraordinary power, the role of the fortress is actually not great.
If you don't have a caster of the same level to fight against, it won't take long to dismantle the fortress group.
Even if the city is not demolished, it is difficult for an officer above the bronze level to be killed by ordinary guns, but he can easily rush to the bottom of the city, jump to the head of the fortress wall, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.
Therefore, the two fortress groups at the Zhongshan base seem to be powerful, but in fact, we can't expect too much from them - but then again, without extraordinary strength, it is impossible to build such a strong group of two fortresses on Zhongshan Island, far from the mainland of the empire.
At dinner time, Li Qing took Su Su and others to inspect his "territory".
They first inspected the fortress complex on the mountain.
First of all, I went to the canteen to check the food of the officers and soldiers, and it was in the canteen. After a simple but hearty dinner with the Marines, we went to the barracks to check on the placement of Amaterasu's elite troops.
Although Xiaolongnu told Li Qing not to be sympathetic to the three hundred servant army, he could use them to death, but this did not mean that Li Qing would treat them harshly outside the battlefield.
When he went to the battlefield, he naturally wanted to use Amaterasu's servants as cannon fodder to death. Outside the battlefield, they should be treated the same as the soldiers of the Empire. At the very least, on the surface, it should be done equally.
The barracks of the Amaterasu cannon fodder were in a humble bungalow to the west of the fort. Twenty people in a room, sleeping in a large bunk, no independent bathroom. Meals are also provided in the canteen.
This is not that Li Qing deliberately treats cannon fodder harshly.
The base on Zhongshan Island is far from the mainland, and the conditions are really limited. The living conditions of the officers and soldiers of the empire on land and sea are similar to this. The officers were no better, except that they didn't have to live in a bunk room for twenty people, but they also slept in bunk beds for four people.
Even the official office of Li Qing, the supreme official, was just an ordinary fortress. Although I slept in a single room, it was small, dark and damp, and very uncomfortable. It's just that the office is a little brighter and more comfortable.
When inspecting the barracks of the Amaterasu's elite troops, Li Qing and his entourage unexpectedly saw a few "acquaintances" in the barracks, who were among the women of the Amaterasu sect who met on the road that day.
"Why are you here?" Li Qing counted, there were five familiar faces, all of them were women, and the two strongest Amaterasu men that day did not appear.
Of the five Amaterasu Sect girls, the youngest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her aura was powerful, and she actually had the strength of about nine levels. The eldest is only in his early twenties, and his strength is also level nine.
One of them, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old black straight girl, had eleventh level strength. It was that day that Han Yue said that he would spend the night with the Heavenly Imperial Sakura that cost a hundred taels of gold.
"Your Excellency!" Tenyu Sakura and the other Amaterasu sect daughters respectfully saluted Li Qing and the others. In addition to deference, there is also a bit of awe. Even the thirteen or fourteen-year-old little sect girl who was the most unconvinced by Li Qing and the others that day, hoping that Xuan Baosong could defeat Li Qing, could not see the slightest disbelief or resentment on her face, and her eyebrows were full of awe.
Obviously, Li Qing's record of killing Xuan Baosong deeply shocked them. What shocked them even more was that after Li Qing killed Xuan Baosong, not only was he not persecuted and retaliated by the Xuan family, but he was promoted to become wealthy, and went to Zhongshan Island to serve as the commander of the garrison and lead the party.
Although Zhongshan Island is not too rich in products, and there are only more than 4,000 people under his command, in any case, in this overseas base far from the mainland, Li Qing is the overlord of his word. It's more majestic than being a colonel in a big base.
Therefore, the daughters of the Amaterasu Sect were very in awe of Li Qing - it was impossible for them to know about the Xuan family's plot to retaliate against Li Qing. I thought that Li Qing's hands and eyes were all over the sky and he could withstand the revenge of the Xuan family.
After saluting, Tianyu Sakura said slowly: "Back to my lordship, General Long has issued a commission to hire an eighth-level Amaterasu sorcerer to come to Zhongshan Island with your lord at the price of a high-grade shark pearl in January. The five of us and the others all have the strength of a sorcerer above level eight, and they all practice swordsmanship and can participate in hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, he was hired by General Long, joined the elite troops, and followed the adults here. ”
"A high-grade shark pearl a month?" Li Qing touched his chin and said, "A top-grade shark pearl is worth a thousand gold, but a high-grade shark pearl is only worth fifty taels of gold." You ......"
He originally wanted to say, you can sleep with someone for one night, you can earn a hundred taels of gold, and one thigh will make a lot of money, why bother to make money from selling your life? However, after glancing at the little sect girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, Li Qing swallowed the words back again, and changed the topic stiffly: "What are your names?" Which god is the bloodline? What spells will they be? ”
"Little woman Heavenly Sakura. He is a descendant of Amaterasu. It was still the first time that day that Sakura replied: "Good at light and fire spells." The Lord of Light heals, and the Lord of Fire heals. ”
"Little Woman Moon Imperial Spring. He is a descendant of the moonlit night. The twenty-year-old sect girl replied respectfully: "Good at summoning Yin soldiers, and can control the gods." It can also transform soldiers who died in battle into walking corpses. ”
"The little woman is Su Yuxiang. He is a descendant of Suzhan Mingzun. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old lady replied: "She can resist the water and wind, and she is good at melee combat." "Her aura is only about level nine, but she faintly exudes a violent aura, which feels more dangerous than the two sect girls of the same level.
"Little woman Tian Yuyun. He is a descendant of Amaterasu. Another seventeen or eighteen-year-old sect girl replied: "Red Bronze Extreme Rank Magician, Red Bronze Middle Rank Swordsman." Specializes in fire-based spells. Can combine spells with melee combat. ”
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old little sect girl glanced at Li Qing timidly, and stammered: "I, my name is Yueyu Xizi, yes, I am a descendant of the moonlit night Jianzun." In terms of law and spells, I only have the ability to control the gods. However, I can control nine Shikami at the same time, all of them are very strong! ”
"Well, yes, you're all very strong." Li Qing nodded majestically and said, "Then, if there is a war, please work hard to kill the enemy!" As long as you can make a meritorious contribution, I believe that General Yilong's generosity will definitely give you a rich reward in addition to the established reward. ”
The five Amaterasu Sect women bowed down and promised: "Yes, my lord! We will fight the enemy bravely. ”
Li Qing smiled encouragingly, and suddenly remembered something, "What about the two men who were with you the day before yesterday?" Their strength is stronger, why didn't they come? ”
Tianyu Sakura said calmly: "Those two sect brothers are the only two men left in our group of dead country clans. They bear the burden of bloodline inheritance, and they can't die yet. ”
"......" Li Qing shook his head, looked around, and said, "You also live in Tongpu, and the people who share the house with you are all women?" ”
Heavenly Imperial Sakura said: "Lord Hui, the remaining fifteen samurai, all of them are men. ”
Li Qingdao: "Is it convenient?" Would you like to help you change your accommodation? ”
Tianyu Sakura said: "Thank you for your kindness." But no. On the battlefield, there are only friends and enemies, no men and women. The samurai were all righteous warriors who were loyal to the clan, and there was nothing inconvenient about living with them. ”
Seeing that Tianyu Sakura refused, Li Qing was not reluctant. For these Amaterasu sect daughters, he only has a little sympathy. When it comes to the battlefield, they should be used to death, and he will not be soft-hearted.
"Okay, the official will continue to patrol. If you have any inconvenience, you can report it to our official at any time. ”
After that, Li Qing took Su Su and others out of the barracks to continue his inspection.
"Hmph, take pity on the jade, right?" Leaving the camp of Amaterasu's elite troops, when he arrived at a place where there was no one, Su Su, who had not intervened to maintain the majesty of Chief Officer Li Qing, finally hugged his arms and sneered:
"Seeing those little girls who are smart and smart, crowded with the big men, I can't bear it, right? Do you want me to give you a superb shark pearl? That's the best shark pearl worth a thousand gold, one can sleep all five of them, and they can sleep for two or three nights in a row. How, do you want to do it? ”
