Chapter 17: Broken Weapons
After returning from the tavern, Chino reads another all-night book, focusing on the history of the Sun King.
2,700 years ago, the Sun King died at the hands of visitors from outside the sky, and the whole world was plunged into more than 2,000 years of war and strife.
Some scholars have written a literary masterpiece called "A Thousand Years of Darkness" on this theme, describing the turmoil and collapse of those 2,000 years.
It was not until the year 2188 of the Divine Fall, that is, after the "Clash of the Eight Kings" 512 years ago, that the world gradually stabilized, with the current kingdom of Doguland, the Far Eastern Dynasty in the east, and the rest of the forces scattered in the north and south of the continent and across the ocean.
The World Almanac has also moved from the "Godfall Calendar" to the "Fire Calendar".
When reading the history books, Chino still had a question:
According to the description, the Sun King's strength is unfathomable, and his body can burn dry an endless lake just by getting drunk, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is incarnated as a god.
Rao is like this, the Sun King is still dead in the hunt of the reincarnation team.
So, how strong do you have to be to stop all the reincarnation squads?
Judging from his triple shackles, in addition to the awe with unknown effect, respect and fear, whether it is exchanging weapons or strengthening genes, their follow-up power is becoming more and more fierce, but is this really enough?
What was the evolutionary channel of the Sun King? And to what extent?
Is the reincarnation team that killed the Sun King the strongest in the reincarnation world? Is there a stronger team than them?
On the 11th day of the 512th year of the Huoyao calendar, when the sun rises, it means that there are 11 days left before the reincarnation team attacks.
When the first rays of the morning sun passed through the window and fell on Chino's face, he realized that he was thinking too far.
Before the first wave of reincarnation invasions began, he began to think about the Sun King, which is tantamount to a roadside beggar who fantasizes about being the richest man in the world all day long.
Chino put down the history books and picked up the papers about the town of Shirin.
Through the compilation of the roster, he saw that there were three hundred teams of 300 men - that is, 300 men - that could be mobilized in Shirin.
For a town with a population of 5,000, this number of garrisons is already very good.
You must know that in the feudal era, the military-civilian ratio of 1:10 was already a typical poor soldier.
Considering that the town of Shirin is an important border town, this proportion is not an exaggeration at the moment.
It's also a good thing to have more soldiers, at least when it comes to the reincarnation invasion.
But when it came to inspecting the soldiers' equipment, Chino didn't think so.
Armory, he looked at the rotten and cracked leather armor and rusty weapons, and couldn't help frowning: "What kind of garbage is this?" β
The quartermaster, an old man dressed in wide, muttered robes, "This is our ordnance, my lord." β
Chino's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "The border guards of the important town, with this kind of equipment?" The royal family is really poor. β
The quartermaster sighed and said: "The border defense funds issued by the royal family are actually very sufficient, but it is difficult to reach Xilin Town directly, and it is deducted by people in the middle, and in the end, 20% of it can be counted as having a conscience in our hands." The gear is already the best we can buy. β
Although it is only the first wave of invasion now, the enemy is also a reincarnation team, not to mention the destruction of the world, the destruction of the heavens and the earth, people casually exchange a Gatling Tututu, and the 300 soldiers are all papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
Even if there is no heavy machine gun at the beginning, even a small pistol is difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with.
Don't forget, the reincarnation team doesn't have to think about the future, and can teleport away directly after completing the task, without any scruples.
Just as Chino was pondering, the one-eyed dragon arrived just in time.
Chino's monthly coins had been thoroughly washed, and he gave the one-eyed dragon a 5% commission reward, plus a 5% tax, and the 2,000 silver moons finally recovered 1,800 coins, a voucher and completely legal money.
After getting the silver moon, Chino went to find Paladin: "I'm going out on errands today, and I may be away for a few days." β
"Where are you going?"
"Don't ask."
"Yes..."
"You handle the daily affairs for me, and if you can't get the idea, just leave it and wait for me to come back."
Chino personally instructed, how dare Paladin slack: "Obey." You can leave in peace and I'll take care of all your business. β
After the entrustment, Chino loaded the moon coin into the carriage and headed to the "Twilight City", which is 400 miles away from Shirin.
It is a city built in a valley and is named after the beautiful twilight sunset here.
Twilight is the main city in the true sense of the word, with a population of more than 200,000 and a standing army of about 5,000, and 11 important border towns, including Shirin, are under its subordinate.
Chino's civil officials are also under the jurisdiction of the "administrators" of Twilight.
From the level of the main city, the bureaucratic system of Doguland began to diverge, no longer having multiple positions like the civil officials, but managing them separately.
As an administrator, he is responsible for day-to-day matters and personnel changes.
In other words: whether Chino can be a civil magistrate or not, the administrator has the final say.
The border funds of Shilin Town were exploited, and the administrators of Twilight City must have been involved, and the other officials were probably not able to get out of it.
The road from Shirin Town to Twilight City is an avenue, the carriage can gallop, and there is a post station along the way to change horses, and Chino sat for about 12 hours before finally arriving in Twilight.
He showed the official documents, and after being examined by the soldiers, he entered the city.
Before leaving for the Executive Mansion, he opened the Triple Shackles interface and exchanged the 40 Respect points he had previously reserved for something...
...
The Administrator's Bedroom in Twilight.
The light was dim, and a fat man was lying on the bed, with a young girl pressed underneath.
The little girl was sobbing from humiliation and pain, but she didn't dare to make too much noise.
This feeling of destroying flowers is what makes the abuser the most enjoyable.
The fat man grabbed the wine glass at the head of the bed and drank the wine dripping with the succubus tail liquid, which has a strong yang-fixing effect.
After drinking, he only felt a stream of heat rise, as if he had become a god of war.
He held down the little girl, and was just about to make any move, when a crisp voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Your Excellency, the man who makes the girl cry is not a good man." β
"Dry !!" The sudden sound almost scared the administrator to pee, and the little administrator directly turned into a small administrator, and even the succubus tail lost its effect.
The curtain was pulled open halfway, and sunlight poured in through the window, falling on the figure seated in the chair, illuminating the dreamy amber eyes.
The administrator looked at it and was furious: "Chino van Helsing! When did you come in?! β
Chino: "I've been there since you closed the curtains. β
The executive was stunned and closed the curtains? That was ten minutes ago, and this guy has been in the room for so long, and he didn't find out?!
Chino sat there quietly, obviously real, but people didn't feel the slightest breath, even staring at him directly, there was a strong sense of distortion, like a vain ghost.
Chino stretched out his slender fingers and pointed to a delicate pastry on the coffee table: "Please ask, where did you buy this pastry?" It looks sweet. β
The administrator scolded: "Dog day stuff! You can eat what you want, what's the nonsense?! β
"I don't eat what other people have eaten." Chino's gaze withdrew from the tooth marks on the pastry, and he looked at the administrator and the little girl below him with a blank face, "Everyone has something they don't want to eat, or shouldn't eat, right?" β
