Chapter 296: Investiture Ceremony (2)
The small second floor where the muse is located is the supporting hotel "Xijiang Restaurant" in the square, the main body of which is a large wood hugged by three people, built with the volcanic ash produced in the West Continent, from the perspective of this world, it is really clean and tidy, generous and practical. 【】##看小说必去##
Of course, since Xijiang Restaurant is named "Xijiang", its consumption is not high. Especially from the perspective of outsiders, it is simply suspected of stealing customers. If it weren't for the good view of this building, and the muse made a lot of money by selling good citizen certificates, he wouldn't have chosen here.
If he had sat at the window for 5 times the price of huā two days before, the muse would have to drink the free "tea" drink again and again until he realized that he had returned to his roots.
Today, however, he did not dare to drink tea. Because I was worried that I couldn't help but go to the toilet, I would miss the wonderful ceremony - maybe not to call it wonderful, but to call it shocking.
At the venue, Chen Yi first presented the "Commemoration of the First Participation in the Battle of the Xijiang Defense" to all the indigenous soldiers and officials who participated in the battle, and he not only shook hands with each of the students and indigenous soldiers who won the medal, but also always whispered two words of encouragement. In this process, whenever he was tired of his hands, he left the venue temporarily, and then took out the "Phantom Wand" that had been prepared for a long time, summoned a clone for a few minutes with red sè crystals, and shook hands on his behalf, and so on, and finally sent out 865 medals.
Although the process is boring, the movements are stiff, and the procedure is old-fashioned, whether it is the soldier who received the medal or the person who watched it, there is a strange feeling.
The city-state of Mara will be different from now on.
Exquisite metal medals, which used to be available only to knights, are now awarded to civilians. In the eyes of some, this represents the rise of civilian power; To others, this meant that a large number of commoners would take advantage of the rise of the Xijiang city-state to become knights, if they could indeed be recognized by the temple as the new city-state.
This is very possible, because the temple only values power, and whoever can provide the temple with war materials and war power is the red man of the temple's main priest, without exception.
Even the most unthinkable natives were delighted to receive the medal. The metal medal made of more than 20 kinds of metal materials is strong and hard, beautiful and eye-catching, and in the world where you can buy a wife fù in the world of inch gold (genus), the material value of such a medal is no less than its honor.
At least so far. **Fastest Update**
The muse sighed lightly and thought to himself: It's really làng.
Compared with the medal of "Commemoration of the First Battle of the Xijiang Defense", the winners of the other four medals are much less. The "Medal of Merit for the Battle of the Xijiang River" is awarded to those soldiers who risk their lives to kill and injure a large number of enemies or protect their own forces, and its essence is awarded to those soldiers who exceed the tactical requirements and have a decisive impact in battle. Qin Dajiang was one of them, and the medalists were also the indigenous spearmen who fought guerrilla warfare in the jungle, the Hunting Eighteen and the "Ivory", and the main gunner "Xia Yun Ba", who always had a heavy machine gun at the forefront, and the latter was the only Shimomura who was qualified to use the heavy machine gun.
There is only one winner of the "Outstanding Medal for the Battle of the Xijiang River", the hunting wind of Shanghunting Village.
When Chen Yi stood on the stage and announced that this was the most important and formal medal, the host Li Xiaohong also began to take the trouble to describe.
She used an immersive voice and imaginary movements to tell how Hunter Feng held an automatic rifle, chased and intercepted by the soldiers of the Mara city-state, and fought tenaciously to the last moment under the energy impact of the fighting knights; tells how he targeted and killed 7 knights, 24 officers and 112 soldiers in this difficult environment; tells how he hid inside a tall canopy and killed an enemy commander 625 meters away with an ordinary automatic rifle; Tell how he used the explosive power of hot weapons to fight three light cavalry teams that were ready to attack in a roundabout way.
The indigenous soldiers roared with joy, and even the civilians around the square were affected. As if they were listening to a legendary story, they jumped up and howled whenever Li Xiaohong said something.
The solemn atmosphere of the ceremony was affected a little by this, but no one cared. Everyone was immersed in the dangerous atmosphere of that day...... Even from the perspective of the students, the behavior of Hunting Wind can be called outstanding.
Under the cover of machine guns and the defense of heavy machine guns, the only thing the inspectors need to do is to prevent accidents. Hunter Wind encountered a different situation, he could have quit the tree post and return to the relative safety of the walled city - he was really defending the city-state with his life, proving his attachment to the Hunting Village with his loyalty, and fulfilling his promise with his ability.
And when Yu Weichao, She Lei, Li Changning and other high-level officials of Xijiang Water Village lined up neatly and saluted the hunting wind, the cheers and shock suddenly reached **, straight into the sky. ##看小说必去##
Chen Yi stood on the other side of the crowd and did not participate. He was a symbol of the Xijiang Water Village, or the Xijiang city-state, and it was inappropriate to salute commoners or knights.
In the Xijiang Restaurant on the east side of the square, there are all kinds of discussions. Those who could eat and drink here were either wealthy merchants from outside the city, or manor owners outside Mara, or even semi-public nobles like the Muse. They have no stakes in them, so they are only emotional, but they are not as uplifting as civilians.
A lean businessman sat in the middle of the second floor and asked the person next to him softly, "The automatic rifle they are talking about, is it really that powerful?" ”
"It is said that it is effortless to kill a mangniu. That's what they said. ”
"What about the saber-toothed beasts?"
"Saber-toothed beasts can't do it, unless shè in the eyes, it is said that tǐng is difficult."
"That's it." The capable merchant was a little disappointed, he encountered many monsters when he traveled from south to north, and the mangox could only be regarded as food, and the saber-toothed beast was relatively more threatening. But if you have to slap the eye, what's the difference between that and the archers under your command.
"I've heard that there are weapons that can kill saber-toothed beasts, but they seem to be very large, and it takes two or three people to do it, which is time-consuming."
"It's called a heavy machine gun, it can only be defended, it must be prepared in advance, and it is not suitable for commercial use."
The muse couldn't help but think of the corpses of the heavy infantry brought back to Marat, some of them with broken armor attached to them. If the capture of His Excellency the Great Sir was the direct cause of the withdrawal of the troops from Marat, the corpses were the indirect cause.
The defense of the heavy infantry is no worse than that of the saber-toothed beast, and there are really not many sharp weapons that can pierce it. For the patriarchs who sat in the well and watched the sky, no amount of defeat could be covered up by poor command, but those corpses made a silent proof.
"These people, I will be grateful for that medal in the future." The guest sitting at the window table behind the muse pointed to the front and said in an old-fashioned manner.
The muse felt a little strange and turned slightly, wanting to look at the other party. It's a pity that everyone's position is the same, but they can't see clearly.
The gentleman at the table with him replied, "Of course those medals are good." ”
The old-fashioned guest retorted slightly: "It's not what they're worth now." Sometimes, these are just two or three years apart, even if it's two or three months. ”
He seemed to have a feeling in his heart and said: "In the year 2525 of the dragon god, the dogs of the Mara city-state are now the founding fathers of the state. In the temple of the dragon god in 2524, whether it is a boy or a sacrifice, you can see what position it has risen. I was Longsheng in 2527 and became Sir Noah's servant, just two years away, but you see, I was on it when it was dangerous, and it was all those old dogs in 525 years when I grabbed the credit. ”
Speaking of this, his voice lowered, and said: "These young people are the same, a few years later, if the Xijiang city-state succeeds in building a gang - now it seems that there is a great possibility - at that time, hehe, the commemorative medal for the first time in the Xijiang Defense War, hehe, it is a great name, and it is the same as a gold medal for avoiding death." ”
"After all, you have become a great knight, and you will not suffer."
The muse turned his head sharply, and he finally knew who the table was. Lord Sir Silva of Mara City and the captured Sir Love!
"Hello." Silva nodded to the muse.
"You...... Hello, Your Excellency, Sir Great. The Muse stood up respectfully and saluted.
Silva nodded again, but after turning his head slightly, he continued to say to Lu Fu: "It won't be long before the 'Commemoration of the First Participation in the Battle of the Xijiang River' will become a proof of seniority and bloodline, but it's a pity." ”
"What a pity?" Muse couldn't help but ask.
"It's a pity that the old dogs of the dragon god 2525 are about to lose their position." Silva laughed in a good mood, but there was not much of a great knight in his words.
Muse thought that he must be extremely stuffy when he was alone in the Xijiang Water Village.
However, if you think about it deeply, I am afraid that this place really can't accommodate the two city-states, that is, Mara City is brewing expansion a few days ago, and how can there be a place for the development of Xijiang Water Village.
The muse shivered again, and the straw hat shook like a medicated ram's horn.
"You're a nobleman, aren't you?" Silva asked suddenly.
"Yes."
"Being able to appear here at this time, your relationship with Xijiang City should be good, I advise you, it's still too late to join Xijiang Water Village now."
"You are a great sir, how can you ...... How can you ......" the muse was speechless. But in action, he was somewhat moved.
Seeing that the "Quality Service Medal" was issued to the head of Yuncun Village and Yu Weichao, and the "Military Merit Medal" was pinned to a group of heavy machine gun shè hands, the ceremony slowly came to an end. The muse followed the backstage of the venue to find Yu Weichao or Li Changning, but heard another thunderous cheer in front of him.
It was the closing ceremony, and he also belonged to the young hunting style, he became the first commander of the newly formed special task platoon, the only high-ranking official of the Xijiang city-state on an equal footing with the Jiangning people, almost like a hero in the eyes of the natives.
"Where is Yu Weichao?" The Muse couldn't wait any longer.
"Who?" The second-level soldier who was pulled immediately raised his spear, "Lord Yu." ”
"It's too late, come tomorrow."
"It's too late tomorrow." The muse remembered the words of the Great Sir and did not hesitate any longer. asked all the way, and finally found the drunk Yu Weichao at the wine dinner after the meeting.
"Lord Yu, I want to surrender."
"Oh...... What do you want? ”
"I'm going to make a medal for Xibao once."
"What?"
"I'm going to be a mouse for Xibao once and a dog for Xibao once." When the muse shouted out, his heart was extremely happy.
That's right! That's what I want.
