Chapter 289: A Good Life V
When the crisp slap resounded in the classroom, the students who had just finished class and chatted while cleaning up their things looked back at Jiao Ming, who was once a 'college taboo' and was named by the principal for 'care'. And the expressions and postures of Jiao Ming and Emily, the beautiful teacher behind the classroom, also silently explained everything, and within three breaths, the quiet classroom was filled with whispers in an instant, and all kinds of rumors and old calendars about the two were picked up.
Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, but Emily was a little unable to hang up, whether it was from the identity of a teacher or the identity of an older unmarried young woman. Emily grabbed Jiao Ming's neckline with her backhand, communicating with the magical medium of qi, and the two disappeared. Soon, Emily reappeared, asking her classmates Jiao Ming where she was, and after receiving the answer, she looked panicked, suspecting that she had accidentally dropped someone in the space crack in the passage during the teleportation.
Of course, the Master of the Eight Rings would not make such a small mistake under normal circumstances, but if he was harassed first, coupled with the target's resistance, it was difficult to say.
Not to mention that Emily's side is sweating like a program ape catching insects, Lord Jiao Ming has taken the opportunity to teleport back to the Tro Territory to supervise the preparations for entering the Falkey, as for the second division in the afternoon, as long as you report an injury, the remaining four people in this segment are also easy and happy to win.
In fact, strictly speaking, this expedition was just an appetizer for Folke, and the target was two earls of counties separated from Tro by a mountain.
A Earl Lord family has declined, the head of the family is a female five-ring earth magician in her fifties, and there is no direct heir, according to the noble inheritance rules of this world, the successor is actually a congenital fool in his thirties, this is really a sad story. The other family is on the ordinary level, the head of the family is an eight-ring water system magic warrior who has just passed his sixtieth birthday, but unfortunately he ate too much greasy at the birthday banquet, judging from the symptoms described by the intelligence, it should be a cerebral hemorrhage, but relying on the powerful healing ability of the magic warrior, there are no sequelae left in the body, but the memory and judgment are significantly reduced. Its direct descendants are quite competitive, two six-ring, three five-ring, and all of them are in the prime of life, which is the only small obstacle in this invasion plan, after all, there are thousands of people here alone above the sixth ring.
The two counties were slightly smaller than the Tro Territories together, and had no abundant produce, the only two benefits being that the land was still fertile, more food could feed more of the lords, and the occupation would completely encircle the core industrial area hidden in the ravine, reducing the risk of exposure. At first, Master Jiao Ming was still worried about the reasons for war, and the reasons for 'weapons of mass destruction' or 'obstruction of free trade' were obviously unconvincing, but everything seemed ridiculous in Evan's sneer.
And this is exactly the case, in different historical and cultural backgrounds, this world can start a war with just a word from the lord, and there is no need for other messy things.
In line with the teaching of 'food and grass before the soldiers and horses are moved', Lord Jiao Ming came to the logistics department first, inspected the two floating airships and countless floating pallets on the ground, and confirmed that the food and washing utensils were piled up in the warehouse, and finally nodded with satisfaction. I wanted to continue to go to the explosives warehouse to take a look, but was stopped by the accompanying steward, who said with a look of embarrassment that the gunpowder warehouse was not open to people who did not have a noble title.
"Don't talk about these useless reasons, it's not because I'm not from your family of McShaler. Speaking of which, I have no objection to such a thing as marriage, but the female creature you sent last time was really ...... People can't find adjectives, I heard that she and Evan are quite close, why are there so many differences, it won't be her mother's ......"
Butterfly and Luohua behind him hurriedly stepped forward, one pulled the corners of their clothes, and the other directly covered their mouths, lest these unobtrusive words cause a noble duel. The logistics steward is also a distant relative of Evan, he is still the second ring of the fire system, and he seems to be not far from the parents of the girl sent by the family to marry Master Jiao Ming last time, his face was blue and white for a while, after all, he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, turned around with a cold snort, and directly left Jiao Ming and the others in the middle of the road.
"Just to tell the truth, this person is really psychologically fragile. Lord Jiao Ming shook his head disapprovingly, turned his head and asked Dieda: "With our identity, where else can we go about this war." ”
Butterfly sighed slightly and replied, "The training camp of the Bloodclaw Army, the steward is directly under Lord Evan, and it shouldn't be like this Lord just now." ”
If Evan's family is compared to a large corporation, Troling is a branch of a by-side son who is usually unpopular but graduated from a prestigious school. The basic support is hindered by affection, but it is more of a stubborn observation and scrutiny of the main family. And the people who were sent to 'help' were all above the top, and they regarded themselves as 'ministers of the Imperial Mission', like the disbanded tax collection brigade, and there were many people who 'helped' with the old feudal rule ideas, and there were not one out of ten who could do their duties honestly.
And the logistics director just now is exactly this kind, if it weren't for the strong man of the Nine Rings to give the head, I was afraid that Jiao Ming would not have been allowed to enter just now. As the main body of military strength, the group of soldiers is the core force of Evan's control of the territory, and it must be in his own hands, and the middle managers are all henchmen, rather than being foolishly handed over to the people sent by the family to take charge.
Sure enough, when a few people came to the barracks, the leader of the centurion position was greeted enthusiastically. The man who was nearly forty years old smiled like a fourteen-year-old boy, with unfamiliar manners but respectful and thoughtful. This cold and hot made Jiao Ming quite uncomfortable, and after carefully looking at the visitor, he was really familiar, so he simply asked directly: "Have you seen me?"
"Yes, the little ones have seen the adults. ”
Lord Jiao Ming nodded, and entered the barracks under his leadership, and then his brows stood up. The smoky miasma in this is completely the appearance of the middle-aged and elderly activity center, the huge barracks, a few people sleeping in the innermost part of the bunk, a few eating and drinking in the middle, and the outermost people are actually playing cards, and judging from the coins and paper tickets in front of them, they are obviously gambling money.
"Boss, I'm back, I'll return the position to you after this game. ”
"You play first, don't rush. The leader replied casually, without the slightest sense of making a mistake, and stretched out his arms to lead Lord Jiao Ming through the barracks. Seeing that Master Jiao Ming didn't take a step, he raised his head, met his unkind face, blinked his eyes a few times, and looked innocent and inexplicable. "My lord, what's wrong?"
In the midst of the commotion, Lord Jiao Ming's expression quickly softened, changed from coldness to laughter, and said, "There is no problem, everything is very good." It's just that the taste is a little bad, pay attention to strengthening ventilation and urge everyone to wash their feet more, don't smoke your nose. ”
The voice was not low, and the whole barracks could hear it, and there was a burst of laughter. Of course, there are also whispers asking about the identity of Lord Jiao Ming, and the answerer doesn't know Jiao Ming, so he uses a sentence of 'big man from nowhere' perfunctory. Of course, the leader laughed, and did not delve into the change in expression, indicating that he was obedient to the instructions.
When he came out of the other door of the barracks, Master Jiao Ming's smile remained unchanged and asked, "Have you read the regulations on the management of soldiers?"
The leader suddenly looked bitter and replied, "Yes, yes, but ......."
"No, you're doing a great job! There's something wrong with that thing, and I'd suggest Evan do it. "Just now in the barracks, Lord Jiao Ming, who wanted to be refreshed, judged from the faint magical energy in the surrounding air that the people in this room were at least five rings, and he instantly figured out the difference between this world and the earth, and swallowed the words of the squirting person back to his stomach while switching personalities.
In this world where the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers varies greatly, it is the norm to treat one as a hundred, and the management concept that restricts the daily behavior of soldiers is not wrong, but it is a little advanced. When the weapon technology is updated a few more times, and the individual combat power is becoming more and more powerless in the face of collective strength, it is the time to pay close attention to the military discipline of the high-ring magician soldiers. And it is a thankless task to recall the management methods of a certain army on the earth and to write down the regulations for the management of soldiers.
And on the other hand, if you turn your face with Evan at any time, the Bloodclaw Army will also become an enemy, and it is not bad to bury a root of the disease.
It is very important to know the atmosphere of an army, if the roots are broken, how much pure 'fresh blood' will come in the future will be in vain. People are inert, learn well for three years and learn bad for three days, in a semi-closed environment such as a military camp, veterans lead new soldiers, and within half a day, no matter how simple a person is, he is full of five poisons. It is conceivable that many years later, what kind of existence the Blood Claw Army will develop into, at most, it is the level of Yuan Datou's Beiyang Army: recognize money but not people.
As for the war with the Folke Kingdom, the disparity in strength is too great, no matter how you fight, you can win, so you don't have to worry about these details.
Returning to his residence from the military area, Lord Jiao Ming, surrounded by the maid group, changed his clothes and ate with a comfortable face, and learned from the intelligence documents sent that on the side of the Advanced Magic Academy, the afternoon three-to-three games were four against five, and they all won. And as long as you win three more games tomorrow, you will qualify for the first division team, and you will face the last two teams in the first division.
......
The next day, Master Jiao Ming, who came to the Advanced Magic Academy again through the vine circle teleportation network, couldn't help but sigh, it was really convenient and luxurious to go to school like this. In the morning, the class teacher's class made up for sleep as usual, and in the afternoon, Master Emily's class simply skipped, because she was in a good mood, she fought three games together, making the victory easier without difficulty, and as soon as the competition ended, Dieda sent the news that she had captured the territory of the two earl families with zero casualties.
However, when he returned to Tro in the evening and saw the detailed battle report, Jiao Ming laughed, and Evan shook his head silently, almost wanting to take back the reward order he had just given. Because the two families, who had not fought for many years, surrendered directly in the face of an enemy who was a hundred times stronger than themselves, and did not use swords at all during the entire occupation process.
"If you earn so much, you should be generous, and the good omen of victory in the first battle alone is worthy of these rewards. ”
"What you sent down, and then take it back? However, the system that delivers the message has to bang and knock. Evan smiled wryly, put aside the detailed battle report, and asked instead, "How long do you guess it will take for the Folke Kingdom to react?"
"I guess they won't realize it's a disaster until they die. ”
I have to say that the rule of the old feudal dynasty is an extremely unresponsive system, and it is the norm for the ancient Zhong Kingdom to delay the news for a month, and in this world where gas magic exists, it still took two days for the royal family of the Folke Kingdom to receive the news that the Tro Territory rebelled and captured two neighboring counties, and it took another day to discuss countermeasures, and then sent a letter with a somewhat weak wording to confirm the situation.
This reaction was completely expected by Evan and Master Jiao Ming, after all, the backstage of the Tro Territory was the McShaler family, which ranked in the top three in the alchemist lineage, and the lord of the Tro Domain, Evan was the twenty-ninth heir to the throne of the McShale family, and the Tro Collar had been de facto independent for many years, and had long since stopped paying money and food to the royal family.
Therefore, it is necessary for the Vorke Kingdom to find out whether this is an unexpected border friction or a planned expansion by the alchemists. As for everything that is just the annexation plan of the Tro Territory, it is too unbelievable to be considered if the snake swallows the elephant. After all, the recruitment plan of Tro Collar's craftsmen was all carried out in secret, relying on Lord Jiao Ming's vine teleportation network, in the eyes of the outside world, Tro Collar was just a poor country.
Things continued to develop, and when Evan and Evan's team were eliminated from the Noble Division A teams on the side of the High School of Magic, Troll's and Furk kingdoms finally formed a formal military confrontation at the junction of forces. And the intelligence department of the Furke Kingdom vaguely speculated from the mouths of the routs and other sources of information that the number of magicians in the Tro Territory was incredible, and even the concentration of all the magicians in the alchemist lineage was less than eleven.
However, when the king of the Vorke Kingdom saw this intelligence document, he raised his eyebrows, and began to suspect that the intelligence chief had accepted the advantages of the front-line generals, in a vain attempt to exaggerate the enemy's strength to reduce the punishment after defeat. Looking at the map on the wall that lost nearly a quarter of the country's territory, he sighed helplessly, the best generals in the country did not have the confidence to quell this sudden rebellion, so it seemed that there was only one way to cut the land and sue for peace.
However, this confrontation only lasted for a day and a half, and when more than 100 water magic warriors above the sixth ring sent by the crocodile led to participate in the name of the military observation group, and took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation with the earth shield, the palace of the Folke Kingdom, which immediately received the magic message of defeat, sent a negotiation team to sue for peace, and the head and deputy head of the regiment were the king's only son and daughter. It is both sincerity and proton.
In the camp of the Chinese army on the front line, in the face of the information handed over by Evan about the two sisters and brothers of the Folke royal family, Lord Jiao Ming threw it aside without looking at it, and asked, "What's going on with those guys in the crocodile collar?"
"Military Observer Corps, I still hear this interesting word from you. Evan replied unhurriedly.
"Paralyzed, the woman of Binglian is really not simple, she will make peace with the enemy, and she will not consider my feelings at all. Jiao Ming snorted angrily.
"Strictly speaking, you're her enemy, and of course you don't have to think about your feelings. Evan laughed.
