Chapter 172: Sima Ambition
After chasing Chen You's words, Orison and Pete's knives were already unsheathed. The woman who pointed to Nasima in the crowd.
However, to the surprise of the two captains of the guard, the woman did not move because of the lord's words, she just stood quietly in place, motionless.
"I'm not lying, lord!" She calmly began to defend herself under the gaze of the three, "I have a grudge against the Kregans. It's real, and I think the determination to get revenge doesn't exist as you think! I'm here to join your army, and no one has instructed me! ”
"As you said, it is indeed a better choice to join the emperor ** team, but you also know that there are many talents in the emperor **, I am a woman who is not famous, and it is not easy to make a name for myself in it, even if I have a little ability, it is also true! If I can't become a general, just go to the battlefield as an ordinary soldier and fight the Kregans, how many Kregans can I kill alone? That's not enough to quench my hatred of the Kerrigans! ”
"It's different with you, you're just a lord of a small territory, and it's impossible to have very good military talent under your command! I'm easily reused! And because your territory is too close to the Offer and is located in a key position, sooner or later it will also fall into war, as you can know from the militia you recruit! Then will my chance to take revenge on the Kerrigans! And your soldiers are not the motley army you call so unbearable, I have heard of your glorious achievements, and I have seen with my own eyes the field scraping of this army, they are disciplined, well-trained and well-equipped! If such an army can also be called a ragtag army, I am afraid that there is no army in the entire Erathian Empire that can be called a regular army! What's more, even if it is a ragtag army, I am confident that I can let them exert a powerful combat power that surpasses that of the miscellaneous army! ”
Listening to this red-haired female warrior talking calmly, Jian Chen's face was silent, but he was already extremely surprised in his heart, he found that this woman was really not simple.
But what surprised him even more was yet to come.
"These are just some of the reasons why I want to join your army, but there is another. More important reason, but this reason is not easy to say, I don't know if the lord wants to hear it, if you want to hear it, please let unrelated people avoid it temporarily, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble! As she spoke, Seema's eyes swept over Orison and Pete.
In this regard, Chen Jian was a little surprised and a little curious: "Oh? Is there any reason why it is not humane? ”
He smiled, pointed at Orison and Pete and said to Sima: "They are all my brothers, they have been born and died together, I don't need to hide anything from them, what reason do you have to say it!" ”
Sima seemed a little unconvinced. She questioned, "My lord, one of them is a big-eared monster, the other is a half-elf, and neither of them is human, so you believe in them so much?" Aren't you afraid that they will betray you one day? ”
Chen Jian said lightly: "Betrayal? Even if everyone betrays me, they will still follow me, I have no doubt about that! If you have anything else to say, just say it! I don't want to hear such doubts again! ”
Sima looked at Jian Chen, and then at Ourilyn and Pete, who were still holding scimitars and staring at her, and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he spoke: "My lord, let's put it this way, I am a very ambitious person, and my goal is not just to take revenge on the Kerrigans. It is my greatest wish to decorate my life with my outstanding military exploits, and thus leave my prominent name in the history of this world, so that future generations will always remember it! ”
Jian Chen touched his nose and smiled again: "Then it's even more strange, I'm not the kind of powerful force you imagined here, I'm just a small lord in the empire, this army was only temporarily formed to resist the sudden invasion of the Kregans, and it will be disbanded after the war is over, and the edict of the empire does not allow a lord like me to have so many troops in peacetime!" So all I can say is that either you are a little unconscious and can't figure out what is going on, or you have other intentions and everything you say is just a lie, are you the former or the latter? ”
Sima sighed helplessly and said, "Your Excellency, you can question my intentions, but please don't insult my intelligence, I am not confused about the current situation, on the contrary, I found some very interesting things from your recruitment order, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under your command, so I chose to serve you." ”
Jian Chen was a little surprised and said, "What happened to my recruitment order?" ”
"If, as you say, this army is nothing more than a temporary force that will be disbanded after the war, how can you offer such generous terms? And in it, you also write so clearly about the promotion method of soldiers in your army? It would be too annoying to form a temporary, ready-to-disband army that would play a big role on the battlefield, after all, "There is still a regular army of the Empire, and they are the main force against the Kerrigans!" All you have to do is pick up the leaks behind with this makeshift army! Of course, this may be because you want to do your part for the Empire, but in my opinion, it represents another signal! And what you've been doing in recent times is a good testament to that! Although you do it very secretively. But I'm confident that I can't be wrong! ”
Saying that, Sima looked at Jian Chen fixedly: "I am very optimistic about your army, soldiers of so many races, if they are well matched." I don't know how many amazing tactics can be born! And for the foreseeable future, with your attitude towards the aliens, I believe that there will be more and more alien soldiers under your command, and the races will become more and more complex, commanding such an army for any commander. It's a challenging task! Honestly, I personally quite enjoyed this kind of challenge! Moreover, don't you think it's a very interesting thing to help a weak force slowly grow and grow step by step through unremitting efforts, and finally stand on the top of the world and smile at all beings? I think I'll get a lot more out of this process than I ever imagined
! ”
The clear hint in her words made Jian Chen's heart beat wildly.
This woman actually associated and analyzed her true intention of recruiting this army from just a piece of paper recruiting troops! Not only is she very ambitious, but she is also very smart!
Chen Jian found that his approach was still a little too anxious. I didn't even find such a big flaw, and if this flaw fell into the eyes of people who were suspicious of me, it might be a bunch of trouble.
"What are you talking about, woman! How dare you slander your lord like this! "Orison is already out of breath at this point." How dare you talk such nonsense! ”
Pete, the half-elf behind Jian Chen, also had a big change in face.
The female warrior glanced at the big-eared monster and said nothing.
Orison let out a low growl. He was about to greet the soldiers outside, but his actions were stopped by Jian Chen's eyes.
"What you call workmanship. It's just your own speculation! And even if I have any particular ideas as you say, how can you be sure that I will trust you and reuse you? Aren't you afraid that I will kill people? And your ambitions are so great, how do I know if you will in turn use everything I have given you against me and replace it in the future? Jian Chen asked coldly.
Sima smiled wryly. He replied, "My lord, I'm not sure, but I know very well that there is a reward if you give, not to mention why not take some risks now for the sake of great glory in the future?" But if you really want to kill someone, I'm certainly not going to sit still! But I still want to say. If you give me a chance, you will find that I am actually a good subordinate worthy of your trust! I am very clear about my position and I believe that I will be a great general. But that's all I can accomplish! I am not strong enough to make me worthy of a position as high as the one you will take in the future! ”
"I also know that it is actually very difficult for you to trust me so easily, but I still came, because I don't want to miss a great opportunity, and I also know that I am gambling, but I don't know if the lord dares to gamble with me? Take in my unsolicited subordinate! ”
"If you really have a hard time making a decision, I can wait here for your peace of mind and to show my sincerity. I could even agree to put me in prison for the time before you make your decision, lest you worry about revealing your true intentions for recruiting troops when I get out!" If you feel it is necessary. You can also specify a special condition for me to join your team! ”
After saying this, the red-haired female warrior stopped talking, and just stood quietly, waiting for Jian Chen to make a final decision.
There was an unpleasant silence in the tent for a moment, and everyone was silent.
This embarrassing silence lasted for a long time.
In the end, Jian Chen still spoke: "Although I don't know why you have those strange thoughts, I still decide to accept your allegiance, Ms. Sima, I hope you won't let me down!" Get ready to show me your determination and ability! ”
"As you wish, my lord! In the days to come, you will find that I am really a good subordinate! At the same time, I would love to see you retract the practice of not accepting women into your army, in my opinion. Women's performance on the battlefield is not necessarily inferior to that of men! The Medusa are a testament to this! I'd love to create a special legion for you that is made up entirely of women! And train them to become the sharpest sword under your hands!
