Chapter 279: Gecko
The Demon Magician Brigade, the Winged Man Marksman Brigade, the Elven Clan's 500 Heavy Iron Guards, 500 Sacred Sacrifices, and Iceberg Savage Brigade have arrived one after another, and their arrival has injected another shot of strength into the Jacquemo Fortress, and the soldiers are more confident.
Although the magicians of the demon race can only do dark magic, they have an advantage over the magicians of other races, in addition to being able to form additional shields with magical resonance, they also have a faster spell casting speed and a longer range, which is very suitable for large-scale warfare.
The Winged Man Marksman Marksman are the most elite marksmen, and they are not only sharpshooters, but can also be used as air forces.
When it comes to what class is most popular on the battlefield, it is undoubtedly the Heavy Iron Guard and the Holy Sacrifice, the former provides strong defense, the latter provides strong recovery ability, and everyone in the elven clan is handsome and beautiful, attracting countless eyes.
All the iceberg savages are riding a giant wolf, majestic, they are cavalry, carrying a long knife in their hands, shining with cold light, but the equipment on their bodies is relatively shabby, all some animal skins and the like, Qianye Xin replaced them with the heavy armor of a heavy knight, and even the giant wolf was also put on heavy armor, and turned into a heavy knight.
All the troops are all in the army, but Qianye Xin feels that there is still something missing, after thinking about it, he knows what is missing, there is still one military division, they have never been in the army, they don't know much about the army, and they don't know much about the army's combat methods, precautions, art of war strategies, etc., so it is necessary to find a military division.
But who to look for? He is not familiar with the people here, so let's find Yi Qingchen to ask.
After Yi Qingchen came, Qianye asked him if he had a suitable candidate, Yi Qingchen pondered for a long time, and said: "In the entire fortress, there are many generals who can lead troops to fight, but if you want to choose a good military division, no." β
Qianye couldn't help but be stunned: "Such a big fortress, can't you find a single one?" β
Yi Qingchen pondered: "As far as I know, there is a person who has fought a few battles with less to win more, which can be regarded as resourceful, right?" But there seems to be something wrong with this person's character, others call him gecko, and if it doesn't meet your requirements, you can decide for yourself. β
"Oh? Gecko? Why is it called that? "A thousand nights are interested.
"I haven't heard of this person's real name, he is a wind magician, he was promoted step by step from the soldiers, and finally became the commander of the regiment, but he was very short-lived, and he was taken down after a long time.
During this period, he led the troops to perform three missions, each time thousands of people went out, but he was the only one who came back, his soldiers were all dead, everyone said that he gave up the soldiers for self-preservation, like a gecko with a broken tail, abandoned the car to protect the handsome, since then he has a gecko nickname, and finally was directly pushed to the end, becoming a cleaning handyman.
However, because I am engaged in intelligence, I am more attentive to these news, and I have heard that this is not the case, and in those three missions, his troops eliminated more enemies than them, but in the end, he was the only one who escaped back. β
Qianye Xin thought it was a little interesting, he really wanted to visit this gecko, if he could really find a military advisor, it would be the best.
Under the leadership of Yi Qingchen, he came to a canteen, and Yi Qingchen said that the gecko worked here, but there was no one to see him at the moment.
It's dinner time, and Qianye has a meal with Yi Qingchen, waiting while eating.
Halfway through the meal, Yi Qingchen touched Qianye's heart, and rushed to the side: "He's here." β
Qianyexin turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a shabby military uniform, tying an apron, holding a broom and a pinch in his hand, cleaning up the garbage on the ground.
This man is thin and thin, with vicissitudes of life, messy hair, cloudy eyes, unshaven beard, wrinkles on his face, and his movements are slowly soaring, as if he is unable to give up.
Qianye Xin couldn't help frowning slightly, this person had no energy at all, he seemed to be a walking corpse, could it be the person he was looking for?
At this time, several soldiers walked towards the gecko, and one of the thin men said in a strange voice: "Yo, isn't this a gecko?" How did it get mixed up like this? Cleaning up here? As he spoke, he deliberately spilled the vegetable soup on the plate on the ground, and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled it, please wipe it." β
A fat man behind the gecko deliberately used his arm to push it, and the gecko stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, and happened to pounce on the vegetable soup, making his clothes stained with vegetable soup, and he was embarrassed.
A few people laughed, their expressions were full of mockery, and the people around them were also gloating, and no one was willing to help the gecko.
The gecko lay on the ground motionless, without the slightest emotion on his face, as if he had become accustomed to it.
A worn-out book fell out of the gecko's arms, and when Qianye Xin saw that the cover read "Seventy-two Strategies", he walked over, picked up the book, and helped the gecko up.
"Marshal!" When those people saw that it was a thousand nights, they immediately stood up and saluted.
"Apologize to him." Qianye's heart frowned slightly.
The people were not happy when they heard it: "Marshal, he is a gecko." β
"Who is he and you don't have the right to do this to him, are you the Judge Advocate General?" Qianye Xin said sharply.
A few people shrank their necks and didn't dare to squeak again, but the other party killed more than 5,000 people without blinking their eyes, so don't provoke him.
Several people apologized to the gecko and turned to run.
The gecko stared at the book in Qianyexin's hand in a daze, and did not speak.
Qianyexin returned the book to him, he nodded, thanked him, and turned to leave.
"What's the use of just looking at it?" Thousand Nights Heart.
The gecko's body trembled, he took a few deep breaths, and said astringently: "It's useless." β
"It's not useless, maybe it's a little bit of luck, let's go out and talk." Thousand Nights turned and walked outside.
The gecko paused for a moment, turned around with difficulty, and walked in the footsteps of Thousand Nights.
Nowhere is no-man's.
"Tell me three of your stories." Qianye Xin said lightly.
The gecko took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"The first time, I led a brigade of warriors and a brigade of magicians to support a stronghold, and my superiors gave me a secret mission to deliver a secret weapon to the stronghold. But on the way, we encountered the mecha brigade of the Tron clan, after we eliminated the mecha brigade, another fighter brigade came, we couldn't fight back, we could only flee for our lives, the soldiers died in front of me one by one, I didn't stop, I ran until the stronghold, the soldiers were already dead. β
"The second time, I led 5,000 soldiers to guard a mountain, and the order I got was to hold on for five days and five nights to prevent the Tron from supporting the front line, and we 5,000 people guarded for three days and three nights, killing more than 10,000 people on the other side, and killing more than 700 mechas, and finally the soldiers ran out, and I returned to the fortress alone, and the mission failed."
"The third time, the Trons captured more than 500 tribal civilians and wanted to escort them back to Garu City, and I was ordered to lead a brigade to rescue the civilians on the way.
Taking advantage of the night, we made a successful sneak attack, killed more than 1,000 people on the other side, rescued civilians, we escorted civilians back to the fortress, but were discovered by the enemy, more than 3,000 enemies chased and killed us, we covered the retreat of civilians, but the other party was too despicable, they gave priority to killing civilians, in order to protect civilians, we could only use our bodies to block bullets first, and then counterattack.
Later, when all the soldiers died, I was left alone, but the other party did not kill me, but went to kill the civilians first, and let me watch the civilians die in front of me, and my magic power was exhausted, and I used my staff to knock it, and the staff was broken, and I hit it with my fist, but the other party kicked me to the ground and continued to kill civilians.
In the end, all the civilians died, but the other party did not kill me and walked away. I've thought about suicide, what face do I have to go back? At this time, I noticed that a civilian was not dead, but only wounded, and I hurriedly picked him up and ran back, but when I returned to the fortress, the man was already dead. β
When the gecko finished speaking, he was already in tears, and he couldn't cry.
No wonder the gecko would be decadent like this, these battles have hit him too hard.
Although the gecko did not talk about the specific course of action, it can be seen from the battle loss ratio that the gecko has command ability and strategy, but his troops are a little less powerful and lucky, if they were present at the time, the result may be different, after all, they are just ordinary troops, and it is rare to be able to do that level.
In the first mission, they killed more than 1,000 mechs, and under normal circumstances, one mecha brigade is enough to compete with the three infantry brigades of the tribe. They were chased and killed by fighters, without any ability to fight back, in this case they can only escape one by one, presumably he watched the soldiers fall one by one, and his heart must have been very tormented, and he even wanted to live and die with his comrades, but he restrained his emotions and completed the task, this is a person with a sense of the overall situation.
On the second mission, they destroyed several times the enemy with 5,000 troops, which was enough to prove his strategy.
In the third mission, they were able to rescue civilians and proved their ability, but they were unlucky, in the case of being dragged down by civilians, they were chased and killed by several times the enemy, and they did not give up on civilians, which showed that he was a general with a sense of justice.
Qianye Xin decided to give him a chance.
When the gecko had cried enough, Qianye Xin patted him on the shoulder: "As I guessed, you are just a little bit unlucky, come to my unit to be a staff officer for me, there is a platform for you to display your ambitions." β
The gecko wiped away her tears and shook her head: "Thank you Marshal for your love, I'm just a wasted person, and I don't want to go to the battlefield anymore." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Then your soldiers will die in vain." The gecko paused, his body trembled violently, and Qianyexin's eyes were fixed on his back, and he continued: "I'll give you one night to think about it, and tomorrow I'll see you appear in front of me." With that, he turned and walked away.
Early the next morning, Qianye Xin was going to inspect the troops, and as soon as the door was opened, a thin middle-aged soldier was standing straight in front of his door, snapping, and saluting: "Good morning, marshal!" β
Qianye was stunned for a moment, didn't recognize who it was for a while, and took a closer look: "Gecko? β
It's just that the gecko has completely changed its mental outlook, its hair has been trimmed, its eyes have brightened, its beard has been shaved, its military uniform has been changed, its wrinkles have decreased, and the whole person has become more energetic and looks several years younger.
The gecko grinned: "Marshal, I'm here to report." β
"Well, it didn't disappoint me, by the way, what's your name?" Qianye Xin asked.
"Just call me a gecko, I'm used to it." Geckos don't care.
Qianye Xin patted him on the shoulder: "Well, let's go, follow me to the army to have a look." β
When I came to the troop station, all the troops had been assembled, even the cannon fodder unit had also come, and this was the first time that all the troops had gathered.
A group of people in the cannon fodder unit kept looking at the girls as if they had never seen a woman, causing a group of girls to blush and roll their eyes.
The skinny young man from before was named Qiu Zhong, and he ran to Chai Xiong with a flattering face: "Boss, talk to the marshal, let us move here too, it's convenient to gather together, isn't it?" β
Chai Xiong glared at him angrily: "What is convenient to gather?" You're here to see beautiful women, right? β
Qiu Zhong smiled: "I can't hide anything from the boss." β
Chai Xiong had an expression of "I knew it was like this": "It's okay if you want me to say it, you have to make sure that you don't get into trouble, if something goes wrong, the marshal will blame ......"
Everyone else came up and promised, "We promise not to get into trouble." β
"Okay, the marshal is here, all lined up, it's a mess, what does it look like?" Chai Xiong urged.
A group of people immediately ran back to their positions and stood upright, pretending to be serious.
Qianyexin walked over and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the cannon fodder troops standing so neatly unusually: "Ho, what's wrong today?" Such a rule. β
Chai Xiong touched his bald head and leaned over: "This ...... Marshal, the brothers want to move here, so it's convenient to gather like this, isn't it? We promise not to get into trouble. β
Qianye Xin knew what kind of heart they had with a sweep of his eyes, and he didn't poke it: "Okay, then let's move over." β
"Yayβ" Everyone in the cannon fodder unit cheered: "Long live the marshalβlong live the marshalβ"
Qianye Xin shook his head, he didn't see them so happy when he opened the merit point exchange system for them, man-
