5. New developments
Li Xi stood numbly in place, stunned and didn't know what he was thinking. Reinforcements were cleaning up the battlefield, and the surviving soldiers were all lying on the ground, panting, completely oblivious to the corpses that littered them. Captain Patos regrouped his guards and walked slowly towards Lixi, the general's guard did not reduce its strength, except for its hideous face and bloody armor, it seemed that it was not hurt much. However, the rest of the soldiers were not so lucky, both teams of javelinmen had been wiped out, and only a few spearmen survived. After a while, the sound of vomiting and crying sounded on the battlefield, and the recruits collapsed as they looked at the torn corpses.
"Captain, what do you think the Governor is?" the guards looked worriedly at Li Xi, who was still there, and stood still in awe for the next order. For Li Xi, who is fighting for the first time, his actions have conquered this group of soldiers of the Empire, and they can proudly claim that under the leadership of the Governor, the glory of the Empire is about to go forward!
It's a pity that Li Xi, whose head is blank, doesn't have such an awareness, where am I? What am I doing? The war is over? We won? Li Xi, who was relieved, sat on the ground, and the tragic battlefield was presented in front of his eyes again, was this what I did? The strong smell of blood stimulated his sense of smell, and the cruel picture challenged his nerves.
Li Xi vomited, the same sparse uproar, the same crying and sobbing...
On the way back to the village, Li Xi lay on a simple stretcher, crying and laughing at himself covered in straps, this Nima is sure that I can still survive? Why did I rush up with a slap on the head! But putting aside the naughty scene, Lao Tzu should have been killed at least ten times in a row! Awesome! Alas! I hurt Lao Tzu to death! I have to say that the nerves are also good, no, Li Xi instantly switched the channel and turned on the comic mode of self-praise.
It's just that the moment he came to the entrance of the village, looking at the villagers who were looking forward to it, the corpse wrapped in a white cloth made Li Xi pull back from his obscenity. The joy of victory was often accompanied by the bad news of sacrifice, and Li Xi did not know what to say or what to say, and the unhealed sadness once again enveloped the whole village.
The night was extraordinarily quiet, and Li Xi lay on the bed, looking out into the bright moonlight. After a long time, he looked at Patos who was waiting on the side and apologized: "Sorry for keeping you waiting." The martyrs are all buried, right?
"Everyone is just a little sad, after all, the families of this group of fighters are not here, if it is that group of fighters who are still training, it may not be so peaceful. Patos didn't care about everyone's opinions, but this angered the injured Lixi: "What! Aren't they raised by their parents? What kind of thinking are these soldiers?"
"Although I fight for honor, but there is no guaranteed glory, my family will always ... Speaking of which, Li Xi understood, Lao Tzu really went through this experience in vain! Being a soldier is justified, and you don't even have any money to sell your life, who will give you your hard work!
"Lao Pa, don't be crooked, it's my problem that I don't pay my monthly salary, but I shouldn't use this attitude, it's too disappointing for me! You must know! The glory of the empire is above all else! If you don't have money, you won't fight? If you don't have money, you can betray the country? This ideological consciousness is too low! Tomorrow Lao Tzu will talk about them well!" Seeing Li Xi chattering indignantly, Patos also achieved the goal in his heart, and then continued: " You also know the casualties, two teams of javelinmen and a long spearmen were all killed, a total of 154 enemies were killed, and now the four spears have not been trained, and the village has basically lost the ability to attack, so it can only retreat to defend, but the gap is still very large. ”
"Lao Pa, even if these four spearmen come out, it won't be enough, you see, your first team of generals killed at least two-thirds of the guards, and the other three teams only killed more than 50 people, and many of them died under the javelins, so the battle damage is basically one to one! Who knows how many rat men there are? No! In such a procrastination, the hometown is gone! Tomorrow, more than 200 middle-aged people in the village will be armed, and if there are no weapons, then take farm tools, and if you are trained, it is better than the rat people!"
"Will this delay development?" Patos didn't expect Li Xi to go to the other extreme at once, this Nima ran completely naked!
"Delay a fart, every time it's an inferior force, do you always rely on you to fight? How much can you fight? This is everyone's home, everyone has to contribute!" In the end, Li Xi made a decision, and Patos had no choice but to convey the order.
"Wait! Since we just talked about the monthly salary, let's decide! Each of your guards has 10 silver coins per month, and the others are divided according to their strength, and the black iron ones start to increase from one silver coin, and how much strength you get, don't compare them blindly if you have nothing to do! At the same time, the land rent will be reduced by 10% to 30%. And if you die in battle, you will be buried in the royal martyr's forest garden and enjoy the glory of the empire! The land rent will be directly reduced by 30%, and the monthly salary will still be paid for 10 years! The specific content will be announced when the time comes, you should give the villagers a reminder!"
Hearing this, Patos was anxious, although he also wanted to ask for benefits for the soldiers, but he didn't expect Li Xi to issue such generous conditions, even in the regular imperial army, there were no such good benefits, more just give a funeral fee. When he was about to refuse, he saw Li Xi wave his hand impatiently, and Patos had no choice but to take the order again.
Under the influence of the information explosion in my previous life, I have never eaten pork and never seen a pig run! With this benefit, I am afraid that those who want to be soldiers tomorrow will break their heads! Haha! Lao Tzu is really a genius! But the system! You are really not authentic enough, why didn't you remind me when you didn't pay your salary, aren't you the almighty golden finger? This little thing can't be done well, it's too disappointing! Li Xi has started the mode of brainless narcissism and crazy spit again, but after a jingling, Li Xi fainted! Really dizzy!

Happiness comes too suddenly, and it always makes people crash instantly. The good performance of sending pillows if you want to fall asleep made Li Xi give up the perfect opportunity to complain about the system, and obediently studied the next step, and the originally disrupted plan could be carried out smoothly!
"Guards, call me old Pa, hurry up!" said Lixi, who had just laid down and was pulled up, and came to see the Governor who was going to make trouble again.
"Lao Pa! Reinforcements will arrive early tomorrow morning, this time it is a large regular army, and there are still 500 people and 100 ploughing cattle, so our plan has changed, tomorrow we will arrange for people to occupy the iron ore back, and then send sentries to find out the nest of rats for me! Lao Tzu must take revenge! In addition, the village will continue to arrange for reclamation and farming, and the military training for all members must not be abandoned! This way! After dinner, those who have reached the age of 18 will train intensively for two hours, and each person will receive a subsidy of 1 copper coin! Now that the population is small, let's do this for the time being! I'm going to give a speech tomorrow, and these grandsons can't do it if they don't toss and toss! You have arranged everything for me in advance!"
"Yes, I'll arrange it!" Patos took the order again, sighing in his heart, finally able to sleep peacefully!
At noon the next day, the square was already full of people, like people who did not know the truth, stupidly waiting for the arrival of the governor. Is it for the celebration of victory? But it doesn't have to be placed at noon? The unusual behavior made everyone talk about it endlessly, but with the footsteps of the army marching in, the square fell silent again.
The rejuvenated Li Xi slowly stepped onto the high platform, he looked at the slightly frightened villagers below, and began to give his first speech in his life.
"Once upon a time, the glorious Roman Empire stood proudly in the world, and in the history of a thousand years, we have gone from a weak urban city-state to an empire that dominates the continent, and our heroic predecessors have gone forward one after another, and which coast does not have our bloodstains? Conquest is our only law! Great empires are never maintained by humility! Therefore, the descendants who have forgotten their blood have lost everything from their ancestors! We who have lost our courage can only come here to survive! The empire has fallen! Like the dust of history dissipating in the long river of time. The remnants are suffering and starving, yes! The empire has forgotten us! We have been left homeless like wild dogs! But is this the reason why we give up on ourselves?" The impassioned speech made the people in front of them silent, was it numb? Did it give up? The infected Li Xi laughed at himself, why is this sorrow so familiar and so indignant?
Li Xi was lost, and he could only vent the anguish in his heart with low words: "In that era full of glory, the citizens were proud to join the army, and sacrifice was the greatest praise for them." This is not only an obligation, but also a motivation to forge ahead, they can get wealth, they can get power, the country can expand its territory and conquer everything, and all people will burst out with amazing power under the will of the unified empire. But then, stealing peace has consumed the great and noble enterprising spirit, and peace and pleasure have destroyed the proud and passionate courage to fight. The people have fallen, the rule has decayed, and the great empire has fallen to the ground. ”
"Those rulers who are dead and fed! Those corrupt and rebellious bureaucrats! They have a huge territory to squander! They can be used for burial! And what do we have? We have nothing! We are just a bunch of abandoned untouchables! If we take a step back and bury our lives, it will be our lives! Our dignity! If we are all about to lose our lives, why can't we fight with honor! Die nobly! Glory is my life! I will use these humble hands to hold up a new glory again!" (That kind of passionate sense of motivation is limited and unable to express it.) )
Looking at Li Xi, whose eyes were moist, he felt the cry that beat his heart, but everyone was still silent.
After a long time, Li Xi gave up. Like a fool, he talked nonsense and had a white dream. But when he was about to turn around, the burst of shouts inspired his heart like waves!!
"Long live the people!!Long live the people!!Long live the people!!Long live the people!!We are not slaves!!We are not slaves!!!"
And in response to them, it is the strong sentence that will forever be recorded in the annals of history!!
"From this day on! The Empire of Sardinia was founded!" (Verse from the opening chapter of the Founding Memoirs of the Empire)
