Volume 1 Dynasty Chapter 4 Nightmare
The monsters roared, and all kinds of strange forms, hideous faces, fangs and claws, overwhelming numbers, surging over.
Countless spells poured out, stirring the vitality of heaven and earth to surge wildly, tearing open the weaving torrent of monsters one by one, and the gap was immediately filled by the follow-up monsters. He is like a flat boat in the stormy waves, jolting, his vision constantly undulating and spinning .......
Eventually, the number of those monsters decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye, but there were also monsters that were merging and mutating......
An ink-like figure stood out from the many monsters, agile and entangled with several spirit clan figures without falling behind.
He seems to be a bystander, and he seems to be one of several spirit figures.
The scenery around us is constantly changing, from mountains and rivers to oceans, from land to sky, until it is pitch black.
The ink-like figure did not show any fatigue, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became. And your own consumption is almost empty.
The ink-like figure gradually became clear, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of black mist, and it was impossible to see through anything, but the eyes were indescribably evil, and it was breathtaking.
Call~~
Suddenly startled from his dream, Alexei found that the sweat had soaked through his pajamas, and his right hand subconsciously grasped the long sword that never left his body for a moment.
I can't remember exactly when I started having similar dreams. Recently, it has become more and more frequent, and the content of dreams has become clearer and more real.
At this moment, the sky is white, and the morning light is slightly dewed. Alex Sesso got up for morning exercise.
............
At the same moment, Shadow Leopard Camp camped.
Levy also packed up and stepped onto the training ground.
Compared with the wilderness where bandits, wild beasts and food are slept, the camp is simple, but it is undoubtedly much safer and more comfortable. The exhaustion caused by the multi-day trek did not leave Levira in bed for a while. It's a habit he's been using for years.
By the time the camp got up and the whistle sounded, Levy had already practiced a set of basic sword skills.
Levi studied Alexei since he was a child, and was deeply influenced by martial arts, military affairs, and governance, and was extremely self-disciplined, so he was entrusted with important responsibilities at a young age, and was quickly promoted from colonel, lieutenant, sentry commander, and deputy commander in the forbidden army to the commander of the Shadow Leopard Battalion.
After a brief breakfast with the soldiers, Levy called Lian Ke and a lieutenant, Gru. He first told Lian Ke a few words, let Lian Ke continue to preside over daily affairs, declared to the public that he was practicing, refused to see everyone, and kept his going out strictly confidential.
Afterwards, Levi quietly went to the gang room to disguise himself, hid in a carriage transporting vegetable supplies, and went out of the barracks under the cover of Captain Gru.
Nearly half an hour later, a man dressed in a gray robe and dressed as a merchant entered a post station outside the royal city. This post station mainly receives merchants from outside the port, and a large number of foreign missions or merchant groups are mixed and distributed here. In fact, it is a gathering place for trade accommodation, contact and intelligence transfer of many forces.
According to the agreed signal, the gray-robed merchant-looking man was connected to a tall and thin interpreter at the post station. This interpreter's name is Mortina, a local, who has been here for many years, not only a multinational expert, but also a dealer from all walks of life, from the dignitaries of the dynasty, down to various trading houses, mercenary groups, dart shops and even peddlers' pawns.
"The deputy patriarch of the Di Yan clan has found it, and he is at the post station at this moment, and he can meet at any time. Morty whispered to the gray-robed merchant.
The gray-robed merchant was noncommittal, just threw a small bag of silver coins into Morty's hand as a reward, and turned to leave.
Morty checked the weight of the silver coin and put it in his pocket, and did not count it, and went on with his own business. He doesn't know how much information he wants to sell in a day, how many orders he wants to negotiate, and whether he can count the remuneration in full after a long time. Besides, there are too many people who have been messing around for a long time and making money from it, and the difference is just the same, but it is really not possible to break up in two, and there is no need to be too entangled in the honorarium. And whether the so-called information and intelligence are important is nothing more than a bargaining chip to measure the number of silver coins, and he will not think that the other party has to blackmail anything.
The gray-robed merchant Jia entered the royal city, turned around seven times and seemed to be wandering, and found a tea shop on the way to settle down for a short time, and then went out of the city to the south.
In the tea shop, he heard a crucial message. Although the man's voice was very low, he could hear it in his ears with his cultivation. This means that the commander of a certain battalion of the forbidden army violated the ban yesterday and forcibly broke into the inner city, and the bigwigs of the DPRK and China want to punish him, and I am afraid that the investigation order of the gendarmerie has already been issued. It also involves the battle for the command of the forbidden army.
When the gray-robed merchant Jia heard the news, he couldn't help frowning. Although this kind of information is not absolutely confidential, in order to avoid unnecessary twists and turns, the scope of knowledge should be strictly controlled, and it should not be spread to a place like a tea shop in such a short time.
Things were a little strange, but he didn't think much of it.
In a place like a tea shop, the news is flying all over the place, and the so-called true and false are mixed in half, and sometimes for various purposes, it is normal for the news to be rendered or brought with personal feelings, and there is no need to take it all seriously. Yesterday Levy's movement into the inner city was too big, and the storm in the city was too common, and a little speculation was also in the past.
However, when the gray-robed merchant was about to reach the city gate, he noticed that something was not right. Patrols and sentry posts have been significantly strengthened. The checks on passers-by are also much stricter than usual.
The merchant didn't notice that on the second floor of the shop next to him, Mortina was pointing at a swordsman next to him: "This person is Levy. ”
"Are you sure?!" the swordsman questioned.
"You can change your makeup, but it's hard to change other things. "For example, height, posture, stride, knee-jerk movements, etc. If you don't have special training, you basically don't hide it. Of course, Kung Fu Morty would not explain in such detail, but his tone revealed a little arrogance, and he patted the other party's arm with the back of his hand, "Don't worry, you can't be wrong." ”
The man patted his sleeve in disgust and turned to leave.
Morty said urgently: "Honorarium......"
"There will be no less. As soon as the words fell, the man had drifted down the stairs, like a light wind, quietly gone.
Levy, who was disguised as a businessman, did not panic, he prepared a customs clearance guide in advance, and was not afraid of interrogation.
A Janissary squad was stationed at the wide gates, and two gendarmes were stationed there.
The gendarme took Levy's clearance guide and looked at it carefully, looked up to pay attention to the interrogation of the other forbidden troops, and his eyes drifted to a figure in the distance. The man shook his head imperceptibly, and motioned for clearance.
The gendarme, impatiently, shoved the moth back into Levy's hand and shouted, "Go, go." Alternately check over there, speed up, didn't you see the city gate blocked............"
Levi found a secluded place, threw off his robe, turned into a rough man, and circled around to the abandoned training ground south of the city.
The training ground had been deserted for a long time, and thick weeds had grown, and the barracks on the north side had remained largely intact. A few scaly wildebeest were grazing on the weeds in the clearing, and human figures could be faintly seen in the barracks.
After observing the nearby woods for a while, Levi was sure that no one was following and there was no sign of approaching. He learned from the partridge to call a few times in a rhythmic way, and then he heard the training camp respond.
An alien boy poked his head out of the barracks and looked at Levy with a wary face.
Levi bent on his waist and galloped to the barracks. Hearing the rustling footsteps, the scaly wildebeest in the open field pricked up his ears and raised his head, and when he saw that it was Levy, he lowered his head and leisurely nibbled on the grass.
Closing the door, a circle of Diyan teenagers surrounded him. Levi couldn't hide his excitement and said, Yesterday I entrusted someone to inquire about the news of your deputy patriarch, and the results have already been obtained.
The young man at the head said: "Great, thank you Brother Angkuo." The Dijon will remember your kindness. "Angkuo is Levy's Dij's name, and it used to be called that when dealing with Dij's people in the north.
"Don't be in a hurry, though. Find a proper place to place you, and then contact your deputy patriarch. Levy said.
"It's a nice place, it's secluded, and there's so much to practice your fists and kicks. One of the teenagers shouted.
The young man at the head said authentically: "Deed to Lada, this place should not stay for a long time, just obey the arrangement." ”
The young man, who was called Che Rada, was silent.
Seeing that Levi was silent, the young man at the head asked, "Brother Anko, what's wrong?"
The teenagers hurriedly looked over with inquiring eyes.
Levy didn't answer, he stood by the window and looked out, thinking, "It's time to come, too." ”
Yesterday, the scaly wildebeest first returned to the post station and was then sent back here, and his whereabouts were not very secretive. If he said that this place was not targeted, Levy categorically did not believe it.
The scaly wildebeest is unique to the wilderness, in that place where wild beasts and brute beasts are infested, in order to adapt to survival, the wildebeest is not only tall, fast and enduring, but also the single horn on the forehead is quite attacking, and the scale armor around the body can even resist the bite of ordinary wild beasts. Such a war horse, which is as fast as the wind and has both offensive and defensive capabilities, has too prominent advantages in large-scale corps operations, which is enough to rise to the level of strategic materials. As a result, countless people covet the scaly wildebeest.
Although the scaly wildebeest is prominent, it is very difficult to domesticate. Levi is convinced that no matter which side targets these scaly wildebeests, the main target is the group of teenagers, because only the Dijne have the secret to large-scale domestication.
Levi instructed the young men of the Di tribe to pack their bags, and he waited motionless in front of the window.
After about a moment of tea, the wildebeest outside was disturbed, and roared, and its horns tread restlessly on the ground, and slowly approached the barracks.
Levi looked out the window, and dozens of shadows stepped out of the woods and outflanked him.
At this time, Levy suddenly had a "hallucination". The dozens of people were dressed in burqas, their steps were steady, and the waist badge on their waists was faintly visible, and they were walking quickly. At this time, "he's" perspective wandered, slightly higher than people, and was clearly not far from those burqa guests.
These Dijian teenagers also felt that the atmosphere was suddenly tense, and the Diyan teenagers led by them even picked up their scimitars: "Brother Angkuo......"
Levi quickly came back to his senses, and the god line returned to the window. He calmed down and raised his hand to signal the young man Di Yan to be calm and not to be impatient: "Don't panic!"
In his vision just now, the faintly visible waist card clearly belonged to the Gendarmerie Division.
This is interesting, Levy smiled imperceptibly.
............................................................
Linghe Temple. Alexei was sitting precariously seated, and a herald in front of him was on one knee, reporting something.
"Your Majesty, yesterday several ministers of the Ministry of Governance, the Ministry of Military Forces, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Preparation, and the Ministry of Agriculture visited the Prince's Mansion at night. ”
"Oh, Lone knows. Let them go. What else has happened in the royal city in the past two days?"
"Your Majesty, the Gendarmerie Department dispatched two squads today to carry out a mission in a deserted barracks of the forbidden army in the south of the city. It was observed that there were several scaly wildebeest and a dozen young men. ”
Levi did not report the whereabouts of the Dijne boy in advance, and Alexei knew that the Gendarmerie Division had gone to Levi after a little analysis.
Alexei wants to snatch Levy, and it is not a single appointment that will solve all problems. Not to mention qualifications and abilities, the key factors to ensure the smooth operation of the command system, that is, to be widely recognized from all levels and to ensure that the generals are willing to use their lives, it is necessary to establish the prestige of several real things. If you rely on the king or your superiors for everything, you can only be looked down upon by your generals more and more.
Alexei knows this, and it's a problem he faces as much as Levy.
The fact that his father and ancestor are highly regarded does not mean that he will inherit these without doing anything. Even if he has been in power for several years, in the eyes of some important ministers, Alexei is just a hairy young man.
Alex Cezanne was muttering, and the herald carefully said: "Today, the Gendarmerie Division will be on duty, and it will be the Deputy Si Fan Dan who will issue the investigation order. ”
"Oh, do you know what to do?" Alexei seemed to be the herald of the school.
"On the side of the Criminal Litigation Department and the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Department, it is said that there are many letters of accusation from Fan Dan and Shu Kuwa. ”
Alexei couldn't help but squeeze the armrest a little hard with his left hand, and he asked coldly, "Xinggan, how long have you been a scout?"
Xinggan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, eleven years." ”
Alexei said: "Order: Xinggan has set up a judge, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Military Forces, and is responsible for collecting and analyzing the intelligence and special situation of the various states, counties, ministries, prefectures and tribes around the dynasty, which can be reported directly to the king. A number of personnel were drawn from elite scouts from all over the country. The structure of the Judge should be concise and efficient. Kogan was appointed as Acting Shiro, and his appointment was effective immediately. I will go back and submit a copy of the regulations of the department to Lonely. ”
Xinggan desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied: "I respectfully obey Your Majesty's orders. I'll do it right away. I will immediately draw out all the letters of accusation from Dan and Shuhuwa, and hand them over to Your Majesty's Imperial Inspection. ”
Alexei nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead." ”
This is only the first part of the gendarmerie. Without the restraint of the military police, the relevant restructuring of the Praetorian Guard can be relatively smooth. And with an elite pro-guard army in hand, it will not be despised by those old ministers, and the new policy will be implemented smoothly.
"Levy, that crossbow is well thrown. The series of events triggered by this will rewrite the pattern of power between the DPRK and China. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do in the future. ”
..........................................................................................
In the abandoned Praetorian Guard Barracks in the south of the city, dozens of people took off their robes, revealing the exclusive armor of the Gendarmerie Division, and showed the investigation order for the first person: "Levy, I hope you will cooperate with our investigation." Come and take these alien teenagers. ”
