Everyone has their own ambitions, and I'm no exception. Because a good soldier has a heart that leads thousands of people and dominates the world.

—The Autobiography of Terry, Vol. 42

The weaponry of a unit is quite important, and the possession of advanced weapons can ensure that the unit has strong combat effectiveness. But the most important thing in a unit is people, whether it is an ordinary soldier who charges into battle, or an officer at all levels who commands a certain level, it is the core of this army.

If you have a steady stream of soldiers and officers, and these soldiers and officers can be loyal to you, then as the commander of this army, as long as you are not too stupid and mediocre, you can basically say that you are invincible.

So at this time, Terry looked at the reputation exchange interface, and a trace of ambition in his heart slowly ignited.

If Terry was just an ordinary soldier struggling on the verge of survival and death, what he experienced after coming to the rebel army.

There are also many classic examples that Sean has told these days in order to improve his military level, intentionally or unintentionally. While making Terry a revolutionary warrior, it also gave him a slight desire for power, after all, those famous generals who commanded the wind and the clouds made his ignorant heart yearn more and more.

Looking at the reputation exchange system at this moment, there is a famous saying of prehistoric civilization that is stirring in Terry's heart - a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

Of course, it's not that Terry now has enough prestige to make him a general.

You must know that in the reputation exchange system, an ordinary combat soldier also needs a full 50 points of reputation to redeem, not to mention those astronomical famous generals.

But when Terry saw the introduction of the prestige system, a seed called ambition had been planted in his mind.

The sun is gradually setting over the horizon at the edge of the basin, which is darkened earlier than the surrounding plateau due to its unique geographical location.

The temporary camp of the fighters has been set up, and the revelry of an afternoon has allowed the soldiers to completely release the depression of these days, so at this time, most of the fighters who have not been on duty have fallen asleep, and the whole camp is quiet.

Unlike the camp outside the fortress, in the huge room in the center of the fortress at this moment, Major General Oprah was engaged in a fierce argument with the nobles of the Staff Chamber.

"No way, I'm definitely not going to joke with the lives of a warrior."

In the middle of the hall, Major General Oprah slapped the table and loudly refused, apparently the nobles of the Staff House had made a proposal to make the Major General angry.

"Your Excellency, we can understand that you treat these soldiers as your own children, but you would also believe the information that those Night Pearls will harm your health, such nonsense from the mouth of an Imperial soldier."

Faced with the anger of the major general, the nobles didn't care at all, and a short fat man was the first to stand up and refute.

"Do you think this is nonsense? Dear Lord Marquis Leos, if you don't believe me, you can go to the mass grave behind this fortress and have a look, and those white bones will tell you what nonsense is. ”

Oprah was able to rise from a commoner to a major general of the empire, of course, it couldn't be just luck, so in the face of the rebuttal of the short and fat noble, he immediately returned the color.

"Ahem, let's not talk about whether the night pearl will harm your health for the time being, after all, digging up the blown up passage is not something that can be done in a while, so this issue will be put on hold for the time being."

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, a white-haired nobleman who had been sitting in the first seat of the temporary conference room and was silent coughed lightly, stopping the two from arguing.

"Guys, I think you know that now we need to hide in this place. What was the biggest reason for the failure of this uprising? This is the most important issue we should discuss today, not those night pearls that cannot be run away from the ground. ”

The white-haired nobleman obviously had a high reputation among the nobles' advisers, and when he started talking, all the nobles kept their mouths shut.

"The governors of the south said they would send troops together, but when we raised the flag, all of them disappeared. How can the strength of one of our divisions deal with the elite of the Empire? Marquis of Dodgeras, who do you blame for such a failure! ”

The white-haired nobleman changed the subject, just in line with Major General Oprah's intentions, and as soon as the old man's voice fell, the major general stood up and said angrily.

"Yes! But it's really strange, it's all said well, why all of a sudden these guys have changed. ”

"Yes, and all the governors have changed. Even if there is a place that rises up to respond, I think the empire will be weakened. ”

"I won't talk about the other governors for the time being, but why didn't Prisius, your elder brother, the governor of Sabiros, send troops, and don't even your younger brother know the reason for this?"

Obviously, these nobles were not monolithic, and soon in the midst of the chattering crowd, a sharp topic was directed at the youngest Prisius.

"Hehe, Count Yikang, I was just your mistress who slept one night, and you don't have to point the arrow at me every time for the sake of that stinky pool."

Faced with the topic pointed at him, Prisius, whose face had regained his domineering demeanor, did not answer directly, but said something that embarrassed his opponent.

"You, you're an insult to me, I'm going to duel with you."

The earl, whose name was Yi Kang, saw that Prisius had mentioned his ugly incident again, and his hair was instantly green, and he immediately became angry and angry.

"Okay, it's up to you whether you want to compete with a gun or a sword?"

Prisius did not dare to accept the duel of Second Lieutenant Sean, because he knew that he would lose, but in the face of an opponent like Count Icon, who could be blown down by a gust of wind, Prisius would not be cowardly.

"Alright, enough for the two of you. Don't forget what time it is? ”

The quarrel between the two made the Marquis of Dochelas really unbearable, and the Marquis of Dodellas, who has always been known for not being angry, was also so angry that the two slapped the table and loudly stopped him.

"Humph! A coward, dare to keep targeting me, you wait for me, and when I return to the south, I will let people destroy all your territory. ”

Facing the anger of the Marquis of Dodgeras, Prisius, who has always been arrogant and domineering, did not dare to continue to make trouble unreasonably, but his arrogant eyes still stared at the Count of Yikang, whose face was flushed, and continued to provoke the other party with his mouth.

The rest of the makeshift chamber was like the House of Representatives of the Empire, and every topic brought more quarrels, which lasted until midnight, and there was no real result except to exhaust everyone, and the only thing that passed was the bill proposed by Major General Oprah to expand the number of troops.

As for the question of how to recruit soldiers, it is impossible for these noble lords who can only grind their lips to have any good advice, and in the end, this thankless task still fell to Major General Oplar.

"Your Excellency Marquis of Dodgeras, there is one person who would like to meet you, and although the matter of the Night Pearl has been put on hold for the time being, I am sure that you will be interested in meeting the original discoverer of this vein."

After the meeting, Major General Oprah left the hall, and when Major General Oprah's back disappeared into the hall, Prometheus couldn't wait to bring up the identity of the second leader.
