Chapter 219: Lao Tzu Doesn't Serve
In Deadwood Village, teams of human soldiers teleported from the Stormwind Kingdom to the Arathi Highlands through a set up positioning magic array, all of whom were selected from the regular army of the Stormwind Kingdom, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the Stormwind Expeditionary Force that was confronting the undead army on the Sadol Bridge.
Since it is a regular army, military discipline is strict, but these soldiers will have a lot of scratching when they step out of the teleportation array.
It wasn't the soldiers who made a fuss, but because they saw a dragon when they stepped out of the teleportation array, a red dragon about fifty meters long.
A legendary dragon has appeared alive in front of you, how can you make the soldiers not marvel? Even the officers in the team were glaring sideways at the red dragon, how could they stop their soldiers?
Leo stood on the head of the dragon lich named Pelicion, with no expression on his face, but a little smug in his heart.
The Dragon Lich has a special ability called Illusion Dance, which in Leo's opinion is an illusion that creates an illusion on other creatures. Although this ability does not have much effect on opponents of similar strength, it is an inexplicable skill for human soldiers whose strength is not as good as that of mid-level fighters.
Leo wasn't bored to run around to show off his dragon lich abilities, he had a purpose. MI7 sent him a message that someone wanted to use the Pelicion affair to spread the news that he had killed a red dragon and lure the red dragons to hunt him down. With Leo's current strength, of course, it was impossible to fight against the Red Dragon Clan, so he came up with this method to respond.
Didn't you want to spread the word that I had killed Pelicion? I'll let you know right now that this red dragon is still alive and well, and that it still has a close relationship with me.
These are just tricks to intrigue with the nobles in Stormwind, and as far as Deadwood Village is concerned, there are still troubles waiting for Leo.
"What's the matter with you guys, are you dumb? You don't know what to call sir? "An officer with the rank of knight lieutenant is reprimanding a group of soldiers who are none other than the Dragon-Blood Warriors who once belonged to Leo.
Once belonged?
Yes, just once.
According to the kingdom's orders, the soldiers who survived the recently concluded Battle of Deadwood Village, including Verri, have already arranged other tasks. In other words, they were no longer soldiers under Leo, but the young aristocratic officer with the rank of knight lieutenant was the new commander of the force.
Leo was silent about this order, and he watched the scene like a spectator.
Some things are not something you think is right to make a choice for others, what the person thinks and what he is willing to do is the most important thing. Even if his choice seems stupid to you.
Looking at the so-called new boss, the gaze in the eyes of Verry and the dragon-blooded soldiers made the knight lieutenant very angry, these civilians actually treated me with an attitude of looking at clowns, what a bunch of bastards! When did the commoners dare to defy the aristocracy?
"You lowly civilians......"
The knight lieutenant finally couldn't help but start scolding, and as soon as his two mouths flipped over, he directly fired the map cannon. His scolding immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many soldiers, after all, the nobles in the army were only a very small minority, and the majority were from civilian backgrounds.
Before the knight lieutenant finished scolding, a long sword slashed at him head-on with endless murderous aura, although the knight lieutenant had the strength of a high-ranking warrior, and the owner of the long sword was a warrior of the same level, but the momentum of the two was completely different.
The knight lieutenant only has the strength of a high-ranking warrior, and the owner of the long sword has really fought for his life on the battlefield in addition to his strength, and the bloody and murderous sword shocked the knight lieutenant and made him forget to draw the sword in fear.
If this sword had been slashed by the enemy, the knight lieutenant would have died on the spot, but fortunately there was no enemy here, so he survived under this sword.
The sword was about to slash at the head of the knight lieutenant, and the blade of the sword slammed into the knight lieutenant's helmet, making the noble officer dizzy.
"When Lao Tzu fought the undead in Deadwood Village, you were still nursing in Stormwind."
As he spoke, the owner of the sword kicked over, knocking the noble officer to the ground.
"How dare you openly attack the chief!"
The knight lieutenant looked at the master chief who was slowly approaching him with a long sword, and his face was full of shock. In any case, he would never have imagined that a small master chief would dare to draw his sword against him.
"Assault sir?"
The non-commissioned officer who came up with a long sword smiled disdainfully, the terrifying scar on his face made his expression look very hideous.
"I don't dare to attack the sir, I'm just looking for you to duel."
Duel?
The aristocratic officer was weak in his heart, what kind of joke, this guy was murderous, with a terrifying scar on his face, it seemed that there were not a thousand but hundreds of people killed. Although he is also a high-ranking military officer, can a newcomer who has entered the battlefield for the first time compare to a veteran of a hundred battles like him? No kidding.
The aristocratic officer, despite his arrogance, was not a fool, and he knew that as long as he agreed to the other party, the scar-faced non-commissioned officer named Verry would have a legitimate reason to kill him. Reason told him to refuse, but he was usually arrogant in front of the commoners by virtue of his noble status, and he was unwilling to admit it in front of Virrey, who had always looked down on the commoners, so emotion prevented him from making the right decision.
No wonder everyone else is reluctant to take over this army, it turns out that this army is so rebellious! The aristocratic officer was depressed, knowing that he would choose another team, and now he received a hot potato.
Seeing that the noble officer did not reply, Verry sneered and ignored him.
Just a coward, how did Stormwind stuff this kind of stuff into the army? Maybe this guy can become a qualified officer after a few big battles, but that's later, not now.
It is really ridiculous to regard the battlefield with the army of the undead as a breeding ground for novices! I don't know how many of these noble officers who belong to the battlefield will survive in the end.
Verry didn't pay any attention to teaching his new chief a lesson, this chief was just an appointment from Stormwind, and he didn't take it seriously.
Leo, who was standing on Pelicion's head, yawned at this time, and said with a playful expression: "It's really boring to be so idle, but I'm also a major in the kingdom now, why don't I get my own personal guard to play?" ”
Major? Yes, Leo was promoted again. He annihilated an army of 30,000 undead with 3,000 soldiers in Deadwood Village, successfully relieving the pressure on the Valley of Refuge, and the Stormwind Kingdom had to be rewarded. Anyway, with Leo's ability, it is a sure thing to become a major in the Storm Expeditionary Force, so it is better to take this opportunity to give him this officer.
Leo's words seemed to be speaking to himself, but in fact they reached the ears of every soldier with great clarity. The new soldiers were at a loss, they still couldn't figure out the situation, but Verry was different from the dragon-blooded soldiers, and they had ecstatic expressions on their faces after hearing Leo's words.
With a snort, Verry and the Dragon-Blood Soldier knelt down in the direction of Leo and shouted, "Willing to serve your lordship!" ”
The personal guards, which were the private armies of certain high-ranking officers, were also subordinate to the king's [***] team, but their command was in the hands of the officers. With Leo's current position in the rank of major, it was not against the law to recruit a personal guard of four or five hundred men. Rules are used to restrain people, but if they are used well, they can become their own help.
Belch...... The knight lieutenant was dumbfounded, these people are his own subordinates, what should I do if they run away? Am I no longer the commander of the light pole?
Looking at Leo who was standing at the head of Pellision, and then at the dragon-blooded soldiers who were not birding their own, the young noble officer lost his voice. One is a strong man who can step on the top of the giant dragon's head, and the other is a murderous veteran of a hundred battles, no matter which side is not what he can do now, what else can he do but be silent?
"Boy, give you a word of advice, let's go to the Red Ridge Mountain to practice your courage with the gnolls first."
As he passed by the knight lieutenant, Viri threw him this sentence.
Go to Red Ridge Mountain to practice your guts with the gnolls? Is this guy laughing at me for being cowardly?
The knight lieutenant was a little annoyed, but then he calmed down again, and Verry didn't speak in a mocking tone, and it was obvious that he was really showing him the way.
Maybe this guy is trying to reduce trouble, after all, he is their nominal commander, and if I hold on to this, these soldiers will inevitably encounter obstacles if they want to become the major's personal guard. If I had left the expeditionary force on my own initiative, these obstacles would have disappeared.
Thinking of this, the knight lieutenant couldn't help but curse secretly: This cunning veteran oil.
Viri, this guy!
Standing on Pelicion's head, Leo shook his head amusedly, Verry's mind was still so flexible, he did this not only gave the noble officer a step down, but also sold him a favor, and reduced his troubles, it was really a triple win.
But, do I need it?
Yes, does Leo need it?
The favor of a small aristocratic officer, a small aristocratic officer looking for trouble, if even this can't be settled, what is my legendary powerhouse?
Leo really didn't mind if this aristocratic officer came to make trouble for him, he was trying to make an example.
Stormwind first sat back and watched him fight with the army of the undead, and now just after the war ended, he tried to transfer his dragon-blood soldiers with a paper order, what is this? Isn't this a slap in the face of Hongguoguo, what is it?
Do you really think you can do whatever you want with me? Do you really think I'm a silent lamb?
Then you're miscalculated.
It's not Leo's surname to be patient all the time, he doesn't believe in anything like repaying grievances with virtue, he believes in repaying grievances with straightforwardness. Being a human being can be appropriately patient, but you must not endure it forever, and you are not a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
In one sentence to describe Leo's current thoughts, that is: provoke me, go against the.
The Kingdom's approach has caused Leo to be constantly disappointed, and King Anduin Jr. has allowed the nobles to deal with him, which has also made Leo completely hopeless in the upper echelons of the Stormwind Kingdom. It was their indulgence that made some nobles more and more excessive, and also made the rift between Leo and Stormwind City bigger and bigger, even with Pasonia's relationship, it was no longer possible to stop Leo's determination to break away from Stormwind Kingdom.
The east is not bright and the west is bright, and this world is not your Storm Kingdom covering the sky with one hand, so I don't believe it, and I can't get along without your Storm Kingdom.
Standing on top of Pelicion's head, Leo couldn't help sneering, all the masters of the Storm Kingdom, Lao Tzu is no longer serving.
