Stormwind had been quiet for a while, and although Edric was still giving orders to defend the city, it seemed to have been forgotten, and even the soldiers on guard were starting to slack off, not to mention the goblin mercenaries who were already undisciplined. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Drinking, fighting, and even fighting Edric had to deal with quite a few soldiers every day.

The door of the palace was pushed open, and an adjutant hurriedly walked in, saluted Edric, and said: "General, there were thirteen people who drank and made trouble last night, ten of them were goblin gunners, and the rest were soldiers of the champion swordsman, and the dispute was provoked by the goblin gunner, and they were found out by the champion swordsman when they were cheating. ”

"These damn greenskins are just as disgusting as their orc relatives!" After listening to the adjutant's report, a hot-tempered officer broke out and scolded that these little dwarfs had already caused a lot of their soldiers.

Waving his hand tiredly, Edrick said weakly: "Deal with them according to military regulations, and the one who takes the lead in making trouble will be sentenced to be hanged to show the public!" ”

After the lieutenant went out, there was silence in the palace for a while, this time it was the goblins who were leading the trouble, in fact there were goblins in any battle in the army, and Edric had planned to force these greedy guys to submit by deducting their wages.

But these crazy guys dare to start a mutiny because of this! Although there were less than twenty people, one cannonball still landed in the palace.

"General, I think we should find something for them to do." An officer boldly admonished.

Edric glanced at the officer and nodded approvingly: "So, I intend to write to the marshal, asking her to let the troops stationed in Stormwind Fortress go to Lakeside Town to replace the exhausted troops on the front line. ”

"Uh......" The officer was stunned for a moment, and then defended himself in the eyes of his colleagues who wanted to kill, "I mean, let them go and clear the Orcs in the Elwyn Forest, not ......"

The soldiers are slack in defense and military discipline is corrupted, can the officers be spared? Of course not!

These lowly officers, who had been civilians or merchants six months ago, were stationed in a city ruled entirely by the military, and who wielded considerable power, and there is no doubt that they quickly degenerated.

By the time Stormwind was taken, there were not many civilians left in the city, except for a few hundred people hiding in prisons and sewers, and they were quickly moved to the rear.

So the officers and soldiers had no chance of harming the people, but the officers did not know that some slave girls had been brought from there to keep in their residences, and these Edric knew about it.

As a general who has been fighting for many years, let him turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior, as long as it is not too excessive, he will not manage it, otherwise under absolute oppression, it is easy to complain.

But for a long time, how much courage do the officers, who have been corrupted by power and women, still have to go to the front line to fight the orcs? You must know that there is news that the army in Chiji Mountain has lost more than half of it, and many troops and even entire teams have died!

This undoubtedly frightened these officers, who had become accustomed to a peaceful and chaotic life, and they would rather go to the woods than go to that terrible place of death.

Glancing at the officer with a smile, and then at the other officers with worried expressions, Edric said slowly, "Don't think I don't know what you did, and the woman hiding in the barracks. ”

As soon as Edric's voice fell, the faces of all the officers present changed, some were terrified, some were indifferent, and some squinted their eyes and pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords.

Glancing contemptuously at the officers who were trying to have two hearts, Edric simply waved his hand, and the officers fell to the ground with a puff, and their bodies were limp and weak, and they could only struggle to look at the general who seemed to be very good at talking in the past.

Several officers fell to the ground, and immediately guards rushed in and dragged the plotters out of the palace.

Looking at the remaining officers with a smile, Edric said slowly: "I know, compared to the merits of the marshal, in the eyes of many of you, I don't seem to have any outstanding abilities other than domesticating some beasts, but ......"

Edric stood up with his support on the table, his eyes glancing at the crowd, and raised his voice: "You seem to have forgotten my true strength, this is a very terrible mistake. ”

In Edric's loud voice, the officers remembered that the general in front of them was also a fierce general who dared to take the lead in the charge! It's just that Marshal Isabel's brilliance is too dazzling to overshadow his brilliance.

Edric looked at the silence of the officers, nodded and sat back in his chair, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and said in a calm tone: "I received an order from His Majesty, he needs to form an army of swordsmen, so the Champion Swordsman Legion is ready, I believe that you will have an unforgettable experience under that bastard of Laszro." ”

"General—" Just as the officers wondered who Laszro was, a high-pitched voice came from outside the palace, and Daenerys, the goblin adjutant, ran in at a swift duck-like pace.

She waved the scroll in her hand and said, "Your Excellency, the letter from Treasure Cove has arrived, and a messenger has come to warn us of the seizure of the goblin merchant's goods. ”

Edric frowned, the greatest credit for the fall of his soldiers was the goblin merchants, who always carried a large amount of bootleg with them when transporting supplies to Stormwind Fortress.

For example, the female slaves of the officers, such as the liquor that caused the soldiers to drink and fight, and all kinds of entertainment items, and even goblin merchants opened casinos and women's branches and other shops in the establishment!

Previously, in order to rectify military affairs, Edric had seized the private goods of some merchants, and also seized several illegal goblin merchants and threw them into prison.

Taking the scroll, Edric glanced at it hurriedly, a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and unsurprisingly, the whole text was full of arrogant tones and rude curses, as well as the conditions for the release of the people and compensation, and finally a ridiculous threat of cutting off trade.

"I will not see the so-called messenger, give this letter to General Jun, I am sure he will understand how to settle the matter, and also, imprison all the goblins on the grounds that the Treasure Bay is trying to provoke war." Edric returned the letter to the goblin lieutenant.

He is not afraid of the so-called trade cut off by the goblins, and there is no shortage of living materials in the current Western Wilderness, and most of the luxury goods now imported from Treasure Bay, it is obvious that not many people in the Western Wilderness can afford these luxuries.

Besides, the entire Valley of Thorns is under the control of the Holy Falcon Empire, the Treasure Bay will be attacked sooner or later, and the goblins have also taken refuge in the orcs, so Edric is not afraid to go to war with the goblins.
