Pleasant times always flew by, and after a few happy deals, the Governor's Palace had to temporarily suspend the arms trade. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Because the Federation has modified the cruise route, in the last shipment, the Ruby and the aquatic team were almost caught by the cruiser. Thankfully, the two remembered part of the route they had taken with them across the Mid-Atlantic, and they had to be quick and risky to escape, but it wouldn't be the next time.

With the temporary suspension of the Doge's smuggling trade with the New World, the autumn harvest ended in a haze of burning rice stalks, leaving several large villages and densely populated areas, including the newly built Dunlun.

With almost all the military factories of the province concentrated here, the city is no longer surrounded by greenery, and the chimneys are spraying thick smoke, and a thick layer of gray and white smoke clouds accumulate in the entire sky, which almost does not disperse all year round.

Local residents must go out with umbrellas to prevent the dust in the haze from contaminating their bodies, and after a long time, Dunlun City has a nickname of Fog City.

On the outskirts of the city, there is a garrison where the guards live, and the Celtic forest is backed by a narrow and barren steep slope from east to west, which is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Due to the natural barriers on three sides, the southern plains, which lead directly to Dunlun City, became their training ground.

The low-lying area to the west of the training ground used to be a shady area, and there was no game in it, but there were many mosquitoes. Later, when some of the warriors complained that it was inconvenient to drink water, the governor brought in the spring fairy Kaisha, who asked her to permanently change the geological structure of the area, turning the depression into a lake with sweet water.

This small lake originally had no name, but now it has - Silver Scale Lake.

It is estimated that a certain old man of the guard who was walking idly felt that the ripples on the surface of the lake looked like silver scales, and he took this name in a flash of inspiration, and then was recognized by his colleagues, and then gradually spread.

Unlike the new army, which was completely out of production and received strict training, the Weisuo army had a strong element of feudal fiefdoms, almost a variant of the ancient feudal knights. The characteristic of the feudal army is that the combat power of the first and second generations is off the charts, and then the next generation is not as good as the next, and in the end, it will even rot into tofu scum.

This is almost the law of history, the middle of the empire was also dragged down by the erosion of feudal knights, and even the military dilemma of the whole country could not make up 10,000 knights of natural disasters, and the rule of the country was shaky - fortunately, the successor was Emperor Eussius.

This emperor was famous in the history of the empire, and apart from Agaric the Great, he was the only emperor who was regarded as the Great by his subjects, and was recognized as the master of Zhongxing who swept away the accumulated evils.

As soon as Emperor Eussius succeeded to the throne, he encountered the war of the Dark Sun God Domain, relying on the old capital accumulated by the empire, he endured the invasion of the Dark Sun with great difficulty, but in the end he only saved an empire full of holes.

After this painful war, he saw clearly the accumulated shortcomings of the feudal military system, so he made up his mind to reform.

In order to raise funds for reform, the Emperor launched a high-stakes cross-border expedition to plunder a large number of slaves and treasures from an outland known as the Misty World.

He used the dividends of the war to alleviate social contradictions, continued the dynasty's national ancestry, and established the prestige of launching reforms.

Then, by consuming these slaves and treasures, by redeeming and persuading them to retreat, the feudal system that the empire had completely degenerated into a tumor was gradually dismantled.

In the process, Emperor Eussius carried the small-scale harassment of the minions of the dark sun, and with a firm and cruel will, he simultaneously built a new army through several parallel schemes, and finally established the template of a modern military organization with the system of off-the-job knights.

According to historical records at the time, in order to raise military funds, Emperor Eussius filled the bottomless pit of military reform, not only let the queen weave cloth and princess silk (of course, these goods are not ordinary prices), but also pawned the valuable utensils in the palace, and almost sold the floor for money.

After the military reform, the empire was completely reborn and has been invincible ever since.

Only ten years later, the official statistics of the Knights of the Catastrophe reached 30,000, which was the number of Emperor Agaric when the country was founded, and it was almost the peak of the national strength in the early stage of the empire.

Twenty years later, the military power that skyrocketed was out of control, reaching the 100,000 mark, which could be called a dream number at the time!

With 100,000 natural disasters in his hands, Emperor Eussius looked at the fact that there was no rival in the territory of Atlasus, and he could finally sit back and relax on a cross-border expedition, making the dark sun that had suppressed him for half his life pay the price.

As a result of the war, the head of this powerful Hercules remained in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies forever.

The reforms of Emperor Eussius almost became the template for the reforms of the Anterazus states, and these large and small countries either endured the painful reform, or were eliminated by the countries that completed the reform, and each of them had a modern military system.

In the process, the feudal military system, which had laid the foundation of their rule, was completely abandoned, which Pompey believed was wrong, and he believed that the erosion of the feudal military system was actually economic and ideological erosion.

Economically, the low-level miners not only have to bear the increasing size of the family, but also face the land annexation of the middle and high-level miners, and the cost of training will be reduced over time. The first three generations may still have a chance to revitalize, but in the future, due to the collapse of the economic base, it is almost inevitable that one generation will not be as good as the next.

Ideologically, the lack of competitive factors in the hereditary succession system will inevitably lead to the overall neglect of the feudal knights, which is almost an irreversible process according to the primogeniture system at that time.

If these two ills can be solved, then the feudal system can also be revitalized, because the modern military system is not perfect - the army that is completely out of production is too expensive.

The military system of the guard was the improved military system after Pompey eliminated the ills, and through this new feudal military system, it was in line with the characteristics of the vast and sparsely populated territory of the Celtes, and provided the governor's palace with a number of high-quality soldiers to save money.

At least from the current point of view, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Weisho army are quite strong, and the local defensive battle is even more ferocious.

Yalei also affirmed the superiority of the military system of the guard, believing that it could be applied to certain defensive military organizations of the empire and reduce the financial burden on the local people.

He and Pompey agreed that as long as there was a huge disparity in strength between people, as long as one person could crush a group of people through training, then the feudal military system would never become obsolete.

......

At dusk, after the guards were retracted, the sound of swords and blades striking each other came from the shore of the Silver Scale Lake as usual, the sound was very harsh, and at the same time dense, like dozens of swords continuously colliding and clashing.

A small pale blue clear lake, bursts of silver-scale ripples on the surface of the lake, as if the lake surface has become a delicate silk, constantly shaking.

It was actually the wind that was turbulent, and on the green shade of the lake, two figures were intertwined, and the two swords swung with various colors of glow and constantly clashed in the air. Every time the blades intersect, several sparks bloom, and the bursting wind pressure spreads, and the swift sweep across the lake will form a spectacle of water tremors.

Bang!

After the last spark escaped from the space, Karahaha laughed and looped the sword, like a blue lightning bolt turning and stabbing straight away, instantly shaking the opposite sword, and taking advantage of the situation to put the blade on a white and slender neck.

"Don't think that I usually like to fight empty-handed, so I underestimate my swordsmanship, in the entire Governor's Palace, it is estimated that there is only the leader who is better than me. He looked at the other man with a wicked smile and patted the other man on the shoulder with the blade of his sword.

"Well, Uncle Kara, you won. Nancy let go of her sword, raised her hands in the air, and surrendered with an unwilling expression.

"Don't call me uncle! I'm two years older than you!"

Kara choked on it, and angrily withdrew her saber, and at the same time took out the war paint detector and pressed the button on the girl who had just returned in front of her:

"Let me see the results of your training in the past six months. ”

In the light screen, bands of light swept over Nancy's figure, and the numbers on her head kept bouncing, and finally stopped at the value of three hundred and six.

"It's okay, it's about the same as Godlolo, and it should be okay to handle this mission. Kara nodded, then took off the detector and put it away in a special glasses case.

"Then uncle, you have to protect me tonight. She playfully raised the corners of her mouth and winked at the other.

"Don't call me uncle, or you'll be taken away tonight!"

The muscles in Kara's face trembled, and even her beard shook slightly, and she stared at Nancy angrily so that she could see the anger in her eyes.

The corners of the girl's mouth were slightly upturned, and the bright eyes under her slender eyelashes stared at those eyes, and she said with a sincere advice: "Don't stare at Uncle, you have enough wrinkles on your face, and if you stare at it again, you will become a forty-year-old face." ”

“......”

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Nancy and Carla left the station as planned, and quickly rushed into the dead of night in Dun Lun City to start their fishing plan.

The girl made a gesture to her companion and walked out of an alley alone. The pale moonlight shone on the quiet streets, and there were no people near or far, only the sound of her soft footsteps snapping through the streets, and occasionally a few barking dogs could be heard.

The late autumn nights were cold, and the cold wind blew through the lonely streets, smelling of the forest, and a few old newspapers mixed with dead leaves brushed the ground, brushed against Nancy's moccasin boots, and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

The girl obviously enjoys the silence of this late autumn night, so she picks some more secluded paths and alleys along the way, she is a natural disaster knight, and naturally she is not afraid of the dark like ordinary girls, so it is really like wandering the streets like shopping.

As the minutes ticked by, Nancy looked at the time as she passed by a watch shop and found that it was already two o'clock in the morning, and there was only one hour left before the end of work at three o'clock, so she was even more relaxed.

Such a small probability of an event would not have occurred on the first night, the girl had no heart to think of it.

After a few more laps around the same place, Nancy felt a little hungry, so she inspected the restaurants that were still open along the way, and saw a small restaurant with lights on in the distance.

"Great, buy two bread pads to cushion your belly. ”

The girl trotted all the way over, seeing that the sign of the restaurant was getting closer and closer, and she only had to cross the road to reach her destination, when suddenly her body was stunned, and she faintly heard bursts of muffled thunder from the sky.

At two o'clock in the morning, of course, it was dark, and the suddenly converging dark clouds covered the sky like thick ink, like a thick barrier, and the faint thunder began to approach from the distant sky.

At this moment, it is already late autumn, and even in Celtic, where rain is frequent, there are few heavy rains, and it is very rare for such thunderstorms to occur at this time.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded, the wind and clouds fluttered, and a blue-white electric light suddenly crossed the sky, connecting the sky and the earth, and the eyes were all white.

The next moment, the raindrops of beans came together. Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole world was plunged into a cloud of steam, and when the dense drops of water poured down the street like rainlines, Nancy came to her senses and took refuge under a roof like lightning.

Something! Something's coming!

She quickly looked up at the black sky, as if trying to find something in the thick ink.

Then after a while, I saw a burst of electric light shaking in the dark clouds, and there seemed to be a pillar of light, which shot down along the thunder and fell towards his position.

The night was deep, and suddenly a bright light shone straight through, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover her eyes, blocking it. This was a very common thing, but the moment she covered her face, Nancy's heart suddenly constricted, and the instinct of the Scourge Knight alerted, and a chill quickly spread throughout her body, causing her whole body to shiver.

In the thunder light, a vague figure fell from the sky, standing on the street lamp of the restaurant opposite, looking down at her condescendingly.

"Woman, you have the brand of a fairy, but you are swaying around the streets at this point in time, it seems that you are provoking us. A vague, shrill voice pierced through the rain and into Nancy's ears.

“......”

The girl clenched her fists suddenly, her eyes widened, her chest rose and fell rapidly, her hands were clenched into fists, and the muscles up and down her body were almost stretched into a line, because of the overreaction, even the bones and joints made a fine and rapid crunch at the same time.

"Since you're so interested, come with me. ”

"Danger!"

The thought flashed in her mind, and Nancy leaned to the side, and sure enough, at the same time, a muffled bang came, and a few tenths of a second later, a lightning bolt struck where she had been standing, piercing the surface of the ground, and exploding a small hole.

"Those criminals actually found me...... I...... Why am I so unlucky? In the blink of an eye, the girl seemed to understand what was going on.

At this point in time, who else is there but those criminals who specialize in collecting Doctor Goblin!) )
