Chapter 9: The Poorest Regimental Commander

The next morning, as soon as Elena finished her morning court, she brought a letter of appointment from Emperor Shengqi and read it out to Darui in public.

"Imperial Capital Garrison Regiment, is there still this department here in the Imperial Capital?" Dary was a little puzzled.

The most famous departments of the imperial capital of Lantria include the Interior Guard, the Praetorian Army, and the most powerful of the Royal Knights. The responsibilities of these three departments cover almost every corner of the imperial capital. But the imperial capital garrison regiment, Darui has never heard of it.

"Yes, from now on, you are the head of the Imperial Capital Garrison Regiment. There is no doubt that there is indeed a garrison regiment in the imperial capital, and this department has been open for hundreds of years, and it is not newly established. Elena's face was a little gloomy as she spoke.

Dari looked at his face and knew that this garrison must not be very good, otherwise Elena's face would not be so ugly. But the letter of appointment had already been issued, and it was impossible to change it at all, so Dari didn't ask anything, called Mark with him, and headed for the office of the garrison.

Elena left with a gloomy face, went out of the door of the post house, and came directly to the palace by car, and after a round of reports, she saw Emperor Shengqi in the side hall.

"Your Majesty, how could you agree to let Darui go to the garrison regiment? Although that garrison regiment is similar to the Royal Knights in terms of staffing, it is far inferior in terms of financial resources and the quality of personnel, and even the reserve team of the internal guard is much stronger than them.

"Alas...... Elena, as you saw this morning, that Dritter and Lanard put pressure together, and it is reasonable to say that if I insist on favoring Daregia, it will cause a lot of commotion. You should know the current situation in the empire, for the sake of the big picture, I had to make concessions. ”

"But ......"

"I know that it is difficult for Dariguya to develop in the garrison, and his existence is to restrain the instability in the political situation. We know that, and the people in Dritter know it, so they made the first move today. But...... Don't you think it's all bad for Darry to be in the garrison?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, do you have other arrangements?" asked Elena, her eyes lit up.

"Elena, how much do you think Dary Gaia will develop if he continues to stay in the inner guard, and will he be able to restrain Dritre's party?"

"This ......"

Elena thought for a while, and finally shook her head, if she wants to restrain Dritter's party, it is not just a matter of talking about it, even the Holy Emperor has nothing to do with them, and they must have strength. And when it comes to strength, the three major forces of the imperial capital, the Forbidden Army and the Royal Knights, are in a delicate balance with each other, originally the Royal Knights were biased towards the royal family, but because of the relationship between the heirs, the future of the empire is destined to be a turmoil, so now Enhalt is in a wait-and-see stage, and no one will help.

In this way, the remaining internal guards are about the same strength as the forbidden army, even if Darui stays in the internal guard, he will at most kick out the power of the second prince in the internal guard, and the impact on the overall situation will not be great.

"Your Majesty, do you mean to let Darui set up another portal and develop slowly, and we will secretly support him, so that he can develop a force that can compete with the forbidden army?"

"Yes, my health has been getting worse and worse lately, but I should be able to survive for a few years. As long as I don't die for a day, Lenhalt will be on my side, and Dritter and they won't make any trouble. In the past few years, if Dary Gaia is really a cult talent, he should be able to build a strong force. ”

Elena suddenly realized, "I see, Your Majesty is really far-sighted, so how can we support Dari?

"The tune must be adjusted, but not too much, and there must be a reasonable reason, don't be caught, as for other aspects, don't support it too obviously for the time being, let's let Dary Gaia develop himself for a while. ”

"Yes......"

The office of the Imperial Capital Garrison Regiment is located in the west of the city of Lantria, in a large courtyard covering an area of several thousand meters. For the imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable, such a large courtyard is very valuable, but the buildings on the ground are a little sorry for the audience.

There are several rows of low bungalows, and all the tall ones have to nod their heads when they enter the door, otherwise their heads will definitely hit the door frame. Next to the dilapidated gate, there is a plaque, on which the five big characters of "Imperial Capital Garrison Regiment" have been taken off color, and at first glance it has not been changed for several years, giving people a feeling of destruction.

Darry and Mark stood in the doorway for ten minutes, silent to each other. Although before he came, Darui had prepared in his heart, this garrison group must not be a good place, but until he saw it, he knew that what he just thought was still too naïve.

"Mark, this is where the Imperial Capital Garrison is located? We're not mistaken, are we? Why do I feel like I've arrived at the scrap collection. ”

"This ...... My lord, this is indeed the location of the Imperial Capital Garrison Regiment, and the conditions were acceptable before, but in recent years, due to the flow of all kinds of talents to the three major forces such as the internal guard, this place has gradually become lonely, and it has become what it is now. ”

"Whew...... Your Majesty really arranged a good messenger for me, forget it, anyway, let's go and see it first. ”

As soon as he urged the Thunder Beast, Darui walked into the gate of the garrison regiment with a gloomy face, and it was really dilapidated enough, and there was not even a single guard at the gate of the garrison regiment! This is still a garrison regiment, and he can't even guard himself.

"Hey, there's no one, one who will pant out of the way. ”

Mark really couldn't look at it, and roared angrily, shouting for five bells, before two hangers came out of a bungalow.

"Huh, isn't this a Thunder Beast? There is also a Fire Horse, the level is quite high, each of these two Demonic Beasts is sky-high, it's really rare. ”

When a kid saw the two of Dari's mounts, he ran over with his eyes shining brightly, and reached out to touch the Thunder Beast. It's really unlucky, what kind of temper is that thunder beast, usually Silly wants to ride, but it has to be taken by Darui, and a strange guy wants to touch it......

"Squeak"

A small electric light surged, and before this kid's hand touched the body of the thunder beast, it was hit by the electric current, and instantly turned into a black pig hand.

"Oops, it hurts!"

The boy fell to the ground with his left hand in his hands and rolled around, looking like he had been amputated. When the other boy saw it, he immediately pulled out the machete at his waist and pointed it at Dari.

"Boy, you are so bold, you dare to hurt people in the imperial capital garrison, you have caused a big disaster, do you know? Hurry up and be arrested, don't think about resisting, otherwise...... Hmph!"

With a "bang", dozens of people suddenly rushed out of the bungalows, each with machetes and sticks in their hands, all with faces full of horizontal silk meat, and their clothes were very sloppy, not so much the soldiers of the garrison regiment as a group of street thugs.

Dari looked at these guys and frowned deeply, "Mark, these guys are soldiers of the garrison, why do I feel like I've been in some gangster's den?"

Mark's face was ugly, and he urged him to take two steps forward, "Be honest with me, this is the new garrison commander Dary Gaia, who is the leader here, come out to answer." ”

As soon as Darigaia's name came out, the soldiers of the garrison who seemed to be gangsters all shrunk their necks and gasped.

If there were still people in the imperial capital who didn't know who Daregaia was, he would definitely be stared at if he had just crawled out of the graveyard. Now there are people who don't know the name of the current prime minister, and they don't know who Dary Gaia is.

Breaking into the Beast Witch Castle alone, saving the two beast spirit sisters from the Beast Witch Castle with his own strength, has always turned the tide of the battle, although such a brilliant record is not said to be unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented. In particular, he is only 16 years old this year, and he has become the object of worship of all young people.

The fellows took a closer look at Darry's appearance, as well as his iconic mount, Thundermon, and everyone threw down their weapons in panic and fell to their knees. And the guy who was rolling with his hands just now, his hand that was injured by electricity seemed to be healed all of a sudden, and he also knelt on the ground. It turned out to be pretended, and the acting skills are so good, it seems that this kind of thing must be done in normal times.

Dari snorted, "Who's the leader, come out!"

A bearded guy who looked to be in his thirties walked out nervously.

"Reach ...... Lord Darui, the little ones don't know that you are here, you have been offended just now, don't be surprised. We can't help it, this ......."

"Okay, I'm not so stingy, forget what happened just now, you all stand up and talk back. ”

"Yes......"

Everyone stood up, a few clever ones hurriedly sorted out their clothes, and the others did the same, and for a long time, they finally looked a little like soldiers. However, in the eyes of Dari, who is accustomed to seeing regular troops, these guys are not even as good as other people's reserve troops.

In a very unhappy mood, he jumped off the thunderstorm beast and walked in front of the bearded man.

"What's your name, what's your position here?"

"The adult, the little one's name is Katos, and he's the captain here. Ah, my lord, please here, there is the regiment commander's room. ”

Katos led the way, and Darry let go of the reins of the Thunder Cover and let it move on its own. Seeing this, Mark did the same, and let go of the Fire Horse.

Walking into the so-called regimental commander's room, it is actually a bungalow, but it is slightly higher and more spacious than other houses. The tables and chairs inside are fairly clean, at least not two feet thick of dust, and they are flying all over the house by stomping their feet.

Dary looked at it, but still didn't sit down, he didn't sit down, Mark and Katos naturally had to stand too. Finally, Katos was not so stupid that he didn't understand what was going on, and his old face turned slightly red, and he ran over to wipe his chair.

"Okay, there will be time to wipe it later, don't rush at this time. Your name is Katos, isn't it? I ask you, how many people are in the garrison now, and how many people are available?"

Katos quickly straightened up and reported loudly, "Report to your lordship, there are a total of two hundred and thirty-two people in the garrison regiment, and there are ...... people available."

"What's the matter? How many people are available, don't hide it, tell the truth. ”

"Yes yes yes available people...... One hundred and two people in total. ”

Dary's face became gloomy when he heard this, "So, more than half of them are gone, where are they, dead or disabled?"

"Big ...... My lord, this ...... Because ......"

"What are you doing, if you have something to say, you are all mixed up like this, what else is there to be afraid of. ”

"Okay, my lord, then I'll be straightforward, because the garrison regiment has a pitiful monthly allowance, only a hundred gold coins. Coupled with the layers of deductions from the higher departments, when it really arrived in our hands, it was less than twenty gold coins. In this way, even if we save money and use it simply, it will not be enough at all. Many of the brothers couldn't hold on anymore, so they changed careers and started other businesses, and the rest were incompetent......"

"Is that so? Mark, is that really the only monthly budget for the garrison, and who dares to deduct it?"

"This ...... The subordinates didn't dare to talk nonsense, but the budget of the garrison regiment was indeed only one hundred gold coins. Even if no one deducted it, more than 200 people were fed, plus the cost of carrying out the mission, and the cost of maintaining the premises, these expenses added up to a hundred gold coins were very tight. ”

"Yes, my lord, there is no way for my brothers to do this, you have to understand our difficulties. We didn't mean not to be soldiers!"

Darry frowned as he walked back and forth in the captain's room, feeling agitated, and finally glared at Mark.

"Elena Cabinet Leader won't just let me take office, right?

"This ...... My lord, in my opinion, even if Elena-sama will help you, the most you can do is maintain the status quo. If you really want to revive the garrison, or even develop it, you have to figure it out yourself. ”

"Figure it out yourself? To put it simply, can't I get my own money in and do things for the country? Is there any mistake? By the way, Katos, what are the duties of the garrison, and what do you usually do?"

"Well...... My lord, in fact, our garrison regiment is simply dispensable, and the work it does is all thankless work, and all we have to face are poor people. That's one of the reasons why so many brothers have switched careers!"

"Oh? tell me ...... specifics."
