Chapter Ninety-Three: The General and the City Lord

"Mei'er, don't be nervous, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws!"

Xiao Mei'er's little face suddenly turned red, she glared at Xiao Yu angrily, and said, "You are ugly!" ”

Xiao Yu didn't care, raised his hand and touched his cheek, Gu Ying lamented with self-pity: "Yes, my sister looks so ugly......"

"However, my sister doesn't have to go to see her in-laws!"

She tilted her head suddenly, grinning on her face, and looked at Xiao Mei'er defiantly. Xiao Mei's childish little face was bulging, her two cheeks were pouted, and her breathing became heavy.

I was also so angry with her that I patted the edge of the bed hard, and couldn't help shouting: "Big brother and second brother, don't you really want to find a mother-in-law for Sister Xiao Yu?" ”

"Look at what it has become to bully my Mei'er!"

Xiao Ding was also a little embarrassed, but he couldn't figure out the fights between girls, so he could only scold Xiao Yu and tell her to shut up.

He looked at Xiao Yan again, paused, and said, "Xiao Yanzi, it's really not very stable here now, you better go to Canaan Academy as soon as possible." ”

"Well, don't you still have a mentor, and don't let the family wait for you too long."

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Xun'er, the two glanced at each other, he looked at Xiao Ding again, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, we have made an appointment with our mentor to meet in Daling City, calculate the time, and it's time to leave." ”

"It's just that Queen Medusa is killed, the snake people will definitely report their revenge, and a big war will break out in the north......"

He looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, his face was heavy, and asked, "Big brother and second brother, what are you going to do?" In my opinion, it's better to leave Stone Desert City and lead the Desert Iron Mercenary Group to develop in other places. ”

I raised my eyebrows, according to the original plot, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li did take the Motie Mercenary Group to the Black Corner Domain to develop.

But now, where am I willing to let them go? They are Xiao Yan's closest brothers, of course they have to be firmly grasped in my hands!

With a dry cough, I smiled and said, "Big brother and second brother, you have forgotten what I said before, you follow me, I will not lose a benefit to you!" ”

"Being a mercenary, although you are comfortable, but being displaced and having no fixed place is not a way to do it."

"Yesterday I fought against Queen Medusa, and your Motie mercenary group also made a contribution, and I can ask His Majesty the Emperor for credit."

"Whether you are a general in the imperial army or a city lord on one side, you can choose!"

"Isn't this much better than being a mercenary for you?"

I said with a smile and a sense of seduction. In the past, they didn't choose this path because they had a grudge against the Yunlan Sect, so they naturally refused to stay in the Gama Empire.

But now, their relationship with the Yunlan Sect has eased a lot. I don't believe they would rather be a mercenary leader than a general or a city lord!

Sure enough, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li hesitated.

The Gama Empire, or the Douqi Continent, naturally does not have the idea of "official standard", and all believe in the respect of the strong.

But in this world, where do so many geniuses come from? Where are so many strong people?

The vast majority of people are just ordinary qualifications, just like Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Without the help of Xiao Yan's younger brother, their greatest achievement in this life would be nothing more than the promotion of both of them to the Great Dou Master.

As for Dou Ling, at most, when it's okay, the two brothers fantasize about it together.

But the Great Dou Master, and even the Dou Ling, are they considered strong?

It's really not a lot, even if it's a small Gama Empire, there are not many big fighters and fighting spirits.

If you can't become a strong person and grasp "power", you should naturally retreat to the next best thing and grasp "power".

Just like Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, they are now just a small fighter and have not mastered "power". But they are still the leaders of the Motie Mercenary Regiment, but they have "power".

However, is the "power" of a small mercenary group as great as the "power" of an imperial general and a city lord?

Is the future of a small mercenary group as big as the future of joining the imperial system?

Whether it is for the time or in the future, it is much better to join the imperial system than to continue to develop the mercenary group.

The two brothers were silent for a moment, then looked at each other. The tacit understanding that has been cultivated for a long time allows them to understand each other's thoughts without having to talk, just a look.

Xiao Li, who had not spoken, finally spoke, he looked at me and asked in a deep voice, "If we join the Imperial Army, how big a general can we be?" ”

"If we go to be the lord of the city, what kind of city can we be?"

This question is really direct, and I pondered, the Gama Empire is not big, and there are not many regular troops.

100,000 people guarded the northern border to defend against the snake people.

40,000 people relied on the Demon Beast Mountain Range to defend the Mulan Empire in the west.

70,000 men garrisoned the southwest and beware of the Black Corner region.

130,000 troops lined up on the Eastern Front to resist the feud of the Gama Empire - the Izumo Empire!

10,000 men guarded the city of Gama and defended the royal family.

50,000 men were stationed on the outskirts of Gama City to guard against the Yunlan Sect.

There were also about 100,000 people, scattered throughout the empire's cities.

A total of half a million troops.

And the administrative division within the Gama Empire was not strict, but very general.

There is no way to do it, local families, mercenary groups, and various forces are entrenched and colluding with each other. The Gama royal family was unable to rule effectively, and setting up too strict administrative divisions could be counterproductive.

Located in the lowest villages and towns, the Gama royal family does not send officials, and completely allows local powers to govern, and only needs to pay taxes on time and in accordance with the amount.

The city is divided into three levels according to population and wealth, and they belong in turn.

From low to high, they are three-level main cities, such as Utan City, Wusi City, and Stone Desert City; second-level main cities, such as Yancheng and Dayuan City; First-class main cities, such as Anbei City......

I closed my eyes, and the map of the entire Gama Empire slowly appeared in my mind, with cities and military camps appearing everywhere.

After a long time, I suddenly opened my eyes and said, "Big brother and second brother, if you want to stay in the army, I can arrange a position for you. ”

"If you want to be a city lord, you can only be a city lord of a third-level main city."

Sima is a subordinate officer of the capital lieutenant, and the control of the army under his command is more than 1,000 and less than 5,000, depending on the specific situation, but it is larger than the third-level city lord.

There is no way, who will make the Nalan family more powerful in the army.

After a pause, I added, "Big brother and second brother, if you are reluctant to join the Motie Mercenary Group, you can also bring it with you." Whether it's a regular army or a city defense army, I can arrange it under your command. ”

Xiao Ding and the two glanced at each other again, and Xiao Li suddenly laughed, his smile extremely bright. He sat down on the edge of my bed, put his arm around my shoulder, and said:

"Xiao Yezi, look, my eldest brother is going to the army, and I am going to be the city lord, how about it?"

I squinted and lay on the bed, and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it for you when I return to Garma City, it's just ......"

I turned my head to look at the green scales standing in the corner, and whispered, "Second brother, look, Qing scales are ...... her."

Xiao Li nodded knowingly, although the green scales are extremely talented, but because the talent is too good, it is not something they can keep.

"Qinglu is still young, and it's not good to follow me and my eldest brother around, so let's go to Gama City with you."
