Chapter 61: Elite Soldiers

"This ......" Long Jue was a little embarrassed, afraid that Ling Feng would complain if he told the situation. Ling Feng specially terminated the contract and handed over the person to him, but now he has not been able to use him.

"What the hell is going on, Dad, why do you talk so much, you don't look like you at all?" Ling Feng said strangely.

Long Jue sighed and said, "Those people are slave soldiers in the army. ”

"Slave soldiers? Why is Nicholas in the slave soldiers? I didn't give him freedom and dismantle him as a slave. Ling Feng asked.

"This ......," the dragon never knew how to speak, "I know he's not a slave. But below they know that he was once a slave, and some people are dissatisfied with my arrangement of him to serve in the army. In their hearts, they still thought that he was a slave, and they excluded him and suppressed him, so I had to arrange for him to be the leader of the slave soldiers, and I would arrange it later when I had the opportunity. ”

"I don't think that's all, you must have something to say. Ling Feng looked at Long Jue's expression and knew that things were not just as simple as Long Jue said, otherwise Long Jue would never be like this.

"You may not know it, but we soldiers all have a sense of pride, which comes from a long battle, and no one will serve anyone except our own commanders, even our own comrades. When Long Jue said this, he didn't feel bad at all, but was a little proud, "So Nicholas suddenly came in, which made them unconvinced, and later learned that Nicholas is still a slave, (as mentioned earlier, it takes a month for a slave to really break the contract, and Nicholas came to the barracks immediately after the contract was terminated, so he is still a slave.) This made them even more unconvinced, and they began to exclude him, sometimes challenging him. ”

"Didn't you take care of this? You didn't tell your subordinates that Nicholas is now free, not a slave. Ling Feng asked.

"Yes, but their self-esteem is unacceptable to them, and some of my subordinates have protested against me because they cherish their subordinates. The subordinates mentioned by Long Jue here refer to the senior generals who are directly responsible for him, and he sighed and said, "Some even went to compete with Nicholas, which I didn't take into account." I just wanted to recruit Nicholas as a talent, and I didn't think that there would be such a big conflict within myself. ”

"I can understand this, but I just didn't think it would be like this in the barracks. "Ling Feng didn't think that even the army would treat slaves like this, but you can imagine what kind of position slaves have on this continent. Here we have to talk about the status of slave soldiers in the army, they are cannon fodder, pure cannon fodder. Every time a battle starts, both sides will put the slave soldiers in front of them until the slave soldiers on one side are dead, and then the two sides will start to fight with regular troops. Of course, if the strength of one side is too poor, the strong side will only use the slave soldiers to consume, no matter how much damage the slave soldiers have, they must continue. So the slave soldiers will be exhausted in a battle, and then the victorious side will take the soldiers of the losing side as new slaves, and the next battle will send a new group of slaves to fight, and so on.

"Actually, you can't blame the chief for this. Long Fei said aloud on the side, "The main thing is that some of these nobles are not convinced, they think it is an insult to them, and let a man who is still a slave lead them." ”

"Noble?" Ling Feng asked suspiciously.

"You don't know what it's like in the army, and some nobles will come to the army to mix up some merit so that they can be promoted later. Some nobles were sent to monitor the situation in the army. Long Fei explained.

"I can understand the credit for this bastard, but sent to monitor?"

"You also know that the chief is a faction that supports the Great Prince, but there are also other princes who support us, and although they can't fight us, they won't give up. These are the people they sent to find something to deal with us. However, the general treatment of these people has always been the same, and they are all grouped together. It's been a tradition for a long time, and it's always been that way. Long Fei explained.

"Long Fei doesn't need to explain so much to him, these are all military camp matters. For the treatment of these nobles will be like this, Long Jue first thinks that he has a clear conscience and has nothing to fear, and secondly, there is an unwritten tradition in the army, which is to arrange them in a place with nothing to do, and "isolate" them. So let them stay in the army.

"Yes!" Long Fei said, he knew that Ling Feng was his own person, but he was not a person in the army, so there was no need to know about the affairs of the army.

"I understand that where there are people, there will be strife, there will be politics. Ling Feng said lightly, "But I don't like this, so I'll take Nicholas away." ”

"I understand, you can take him away. Long Jue looked at Ling Feng and said, knowing that Ling Feng was very disappointed by this. Looking at his expressionless expression, you can know that it is not that he doesn't care, but that he doesn't want to pay attention to it.

"If you can, it's better to get rid of the slave class, it's not good for the army. Soldiers are more expensive, not more. Ling Feng still said flatly.

"Soldiers are more valuable, not more!?" Ling Feng's words made Long Jue fall into deep thought, this truth often came to his mind, so he would pick out some people to form an elite team and train them. It's just that he didn't use it in the whole army, and he didn't even think about slave soldiers. Ling Feng's words today made him think more and think deeper.

"You treat these slave soldiers like ordinary soldiers, and train them the same, and I think you'll know that later. After Ling Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left, preparing to go out to find Nicholas.

"Wait!" Long Jue called Ling Feng to stop.

"What else?" Ling Feng said as he looked at Long Jue.

"Your words have made me understand something, I want to train these slave soldiers. "Long Jue has made a major decision, and this decision will affect the military of the entire continent.

"It's best if you can decide like this, but what do you tell me to do, is it possible that you want me to train these people?" Ling Feng asked tentatively, although he was sympathetic to the slave's situation, but he didn't want to accept such a troublesome thing.

"Yes, that's what I mean. ”

Long Jue's words made Ling Feng feel a headache, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "These things are the business of your army, how can you hand them over to me, a common man." ”

"First of all, you are not a commoner, you are the viscount of the Empire. Second, you came up with the idea, so you must be responsible for it. "The dragon will never let Ling Feng go, and he doesn't want him to live easily.

"Even so, I'm not from your army, and I can't take care of your army's affairs. Even if I say yes, others will come out against it. Ling Feng said.

"Who said that there was opposition, you don't know that a person with a knighthood, with the consent of the marshal, can go and lead a team of soldiers on a mission. I now agree with you to lead them on a mission to protect your Blackstone Mountain. Long Jue continued Ling Feng's words.

"That's fine, Dad, aren't you too insidious like this. In this way, it is clear that I will raise this group of soldiers, and I will not lose you at all, but will bring you a team of well-trained soldiers. Ling Feng shouted dissatisfiedly.

Long Jue filtered out the derogatory terms that Ling Feng said, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to give you some military expenses, but I didn't expect you to support them, that would be the best, I don't have to pay any more." ”

"......" Ling Feng didn't expect Long Jue to misinterpret his words, making it clear that in addition to training this team, he also asked him to be responsible for all their expenses. This reminded Ling Feng of a sentence, people can't be shameless to this point.

"If you don't speak, it means you agreed. Okay, Long Fei will prepare my big seal immediately, and I will write a military order. "Long Jue quickly slashed through the chaos and didn't give Ling Feng a chance to oppose him.

"Yes, I'll go right away. Long Fei immediately answered after hearing this, and then turned around and went out. When he turned to face Ling Feng, Ling Feng could clearly see the expression on his face, he was snickering there, gloating there.

"Dad, you ......" Ling Feng was speechless at Long Jue, it was obvious that he was blaming Long Jue just now. I didn't expect Long Jue to transfer the matter to him, and threw a burden to him, Jiang is really still old and spicy.

"What am I? Do you think my father is very wise and admires me? The dragon said proudly.

"Nothing, you didn't say it to me. After Ling Feng said this, he whispered a word, although the whisper was just enough for Long Jue to hear, "I didn't expect my father's face to be so thick-skinned, and he was so shameless, it seems that he will be reestimated in the future." ”

"What did you say?" shouted Long Jue as he slapped the table.

Ling Feng looked at the ceiling with his eyes and said, "What did I say, did I just say something?"

"You stinky boy, you want to rebel, don't you? Long Jue stood up, propped up the table with both hands, and wanted to cross the table to give Ling Feng a hard blow.

"What are you doing?" Long Fei saw the situation inside as soon as he entered the door, and he didn't know what had happened in the short time since he left.

"It's fine. Don't think that's it, stinky boy, I'll teach you a lesson when I get home. "The previous sentence was said to Long Fei, and the latter sentence was said to Ling Feng.

"Long Fei brought the big seal, I'll write a few orders, and then you take this stinky boy out of here. After Long Jue finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of parchment and wrote on them.

"Take it!" Long Jue finished writing, stamped the big seal, handed him to Long Fei, and said, "You take this stinky boy, go to the people from the logistics department, and ask them to bring a team of people to transport his scrap iron to Blackstone Mountain, and ask them to bring all the waste weapons with them." Then he went to the personnel department and asked him to take some of the slave soldiers. ”

"Some of the slave soldiers?" Ling Feng wondered why it wasn't all of them, wouldn't it be better for Long Jue?

"Do you think we only have a little slave soldier here, tell you, they have more than 100,000 people, can you raise them all?"

"It's not impossible for me to raise it, and I can raise it. But then you don't have slave soldiers, that will have an impact on your army, right? And now I still can't afford to raise more than 100,000 people, and I'll still ask you for money when the time comes. Ling Feng could guess that the dragon was not entirely because he couldn't afford to raise it, and considering that if he suddenly lost the slave class, the soldiers would be cranky, thinking that the empire was going to use them as cannon fodder, which would have too much impact on morale. It is best for Ling Feng to train the slave soldiers, and then let them charge into battle, so that the world knows that this is the best, and the slave soldiers should be trained and treated accordingly.

"Hehe......" Long Jue laughed a few times, and it would be very embarrassing to be guessed by others, especially when he was deceiving this person. said: "If you don't go and take your things and people away, don't blame me for the delay when the time comes." Long Fei quickly took him to run errands. ”

"Then I'm leaving, I may not come back in Blackstone Mountain in the next few days, you and your mother don't have to worry. Don't go through the crowd to find it like you did last time. Ling Feng said.

"I see. You go!" Long Jue waved his hand, telling Ling Feng to hurry up.

"Sir, then I'll take Long Tian out. When Long Fei saw this, he knew that it was time to leave, so he said goodbye to Long Jue and turned to leave.

Ling Feng followed Long Fei away, and when he arrived at the door, Long Jue suddenly asked, "Xiaotian, what about your kitten lying on top of you all day?" ”

"Oh, that kitten, it's with Doro. It seems to like Doro very much, and I don't think Doro has anyone to accompany him, so it's good to keep it. Ling Feng smiled, he didn't expect that the kitten would like to stay with the elves, maybe it liked the natural aura of the elves, which made it feel like it was returning to the forest.

Ling Feng followed Long Fei to the logistics department, and led the people in charge of transportation in the logistics department to remove the discarded weapons in the military camp. Then he went to the place where the slave soldiers were, talked to Nicholas for a few words, and then took him with him, and went to the dispatch department to give the order of Long Jue, and took away ten thousand slave soldiers. Ling Feng didn't expect that there would be so many, he originally thought that it would be five or six thousand at most, but he didn't expect that Long Jue would give him ten thousand. In fact, Long Jue originally only planned to give Ling Feng a few thousand people, but when he heard that Ling Feng had raised more than 100,000 by himself, he gave him 10,000.

In this way, Ling Feng took 10,000 slave soldiers, as well as those from the logistics department, to Locke's shop and transport away the mountains of scrap metal.
