Grabo's execution meant that the assassination of Prince Bolton ended in a cold case and was forced to end temporarily.

Unlike the Trojans who were implicated by Grabo, Chino and his colleagues not only escaped in this matter, but most of them were also shrouded in Chino's aura of promotion, and their status rose significantly.

Taking the Death Legion as an example, Chino held the highest military rank of "general", and his subordinates could canonize three "lieutenant generals" to assist in command in wartime, and these three positions were undoubtedly given to the three giants of Shilin Town - Paladin, Lugo, and Baixa.

The three men who followed Chino first, the centurion of two border towns, and a mercenary who waited for death, all of them finally rose to prominence and stood in positions that they had never dreamed of before.

Among the three lieutenants, Lugo was extremely experienced on the battlefield, and through the use of permanent potions to awaken the power of thunder and lightning, he was given the command of the main infantry of the Death Legion, and he must lead those soldiers who are also transcendent in the battle.

To put it bluntly, Lugo is the vanguard of the entire Death Legion, and it is also the sharpest spear in a war, whether he can lead the army to break the formation is directly related to the balance of the battle, and Chino handed over this important task to him, obviously affirming his battlefield skills.

Paladin used to be a centurion, and his martial arts skills were not weak, but since he took over the stewardship of the caravan of the Imperial Palace... No, it should be called "Caravan Steward of the Consul's Mansion" now.

Since Paladin became a businessman, he had not had much contact with military affairs, and Chino had no intention of training him as a pioneer.

The Legion of the Dead was formed, and although Paladin was given the title of "Adjutant General", he did not need to charge into battle like Lugo, his duty was "logistics", listening to fishing in troubled waters, but his responsibilities were no less than those of Lugo.

During the war, Paladin was responsible for planning the materials needed for the corps to mobilize, coordinating supply lines, assisting the general in formulating battle plans, and ensuring that orders from his superiors could be carried out at the grassroots level.

If Lugo is a sharp spear, Paladin is a solid shield, and if the shield is stable, the spear can attack unscrupulously.

Obviously, rather than cultivating another Breaker, Chino would rather tap into Paladin's ingenuity and let him use his strengths where they should be useful.

The last "lieutenant" Baiza's responsibilities are the same as the previous two, he is a skilled marksman, and he usually needs to pass on the experience of others to train more marksmen like him.

And you must know that the Legion of Death is not a legion in the ordinary sense, this is a special legion of extraterrestrial weapons equipped by transcendents.

This means that the marksmen in the legion are not only good at archery, they must master high-tech firearms, not only learn how to use them, but also be familiar with the shooting characteristics of firearms, know what guns to use in what situations, and ensure a hit rate.

In addition to mastering their own firearms and suppressing fire on the battlefield, these marksmen will act as scouts like scouts in modern armies, and they need to be able to penetrate enemy hinterlands, bring back vital information to generals, and even carry out long-range sniping missions if necessary.

The Big Three, serving as three "deputy generals", in charge of three directions, whether it is qualifications or ability, there is no more suitable candidate than them, and it can be said that no one is unconvinced.

As for Niko, she proved her loyalty and will in the battle with Jack the Ripper, and was promoted from an ordinary administrator guard to the "Captain of the Legion Guard", which is called "Janissary Leader" in a more popular term.

After Niko's promotion, she will command more than 100 of the most elite soldiers of the Death Legion, who will form the "General's Guard", which will be directly dispatched by the general himself without following the orders of commanders at all levels on the battlefield, and will be responsible for protecting the general's personal safety and supervising the battle.

The status of the "Captain of the Legion Guard" is on an equal footing with the three "Adjutant Generals", and even in terms of authority, it is even more faintly higher than the Adjutant General, because the Captain of the Guard is responsible for supervising during the war, and if there is anyone in the army who harms his side, even if it is a deputy general, Niko has the right to kill him first and then play.

From this moment on, the little girl who left her hometown from Wangcheng finally had her own status, and she was no longer the little guard who wanted to savior but was pressed to the ground and violently beaten and detained at will.

In addition to these henchmen, the rest of Chino's colleagues, such as the eight-rank officials of Twilight City, although they were not directly promoted on the surface, but Twilight City changed from the original main city under the Beacon Province to a city directly under the royal city.

This kind of leap in the administrative establishment has virtually made all officials rise to the top, and their administrative status has also been promoted from the "main city level" to the "executive provincial level", a big leap forward.

There is another person, who is very noteworthy, Bolton's personal guard, and Roman, a good friend of Niko.

In the invasion of Jack the Ripper, the reason why the runaway Niko will return to Chino is inseparable from Roman's persuasion.

In order to create an opportunity for Niko to make a great contribution and be re-accepted by Chino, Roman resolutely returns to Twilight City with Niko, regardless of his identity and at the risk of being dealt with by military law, and intervenes in the confrontation with the visitor.

Bet on your future and give your friends a chance to go back...

Is it handsome? Really handsome.

Is it stupid? It's also really stupid.

When Bolton found out about this, he was furious, and in his own words, "Lao Tzu does not have a soldier like you."

After Bolton caught Roman, he was directly punched, his head was bleeding, and he was stripped of his personal guard uniform on the spot, and then with a big stroke of his pen, he was removed from the personal guard army.

And then—

Stuffed Roman into Chino's Legion of the Dead.

Chino doesn't have a deep relationship with Roman, and he doesn't know much about this person, so he didn't give him any high-ranking positions, but he was reserved for the grassroots level first, he was a guard in the ruling government mansion in peacetime, and he was a vanguard in wartime, nothing more.

From a dignified guard to a legionary soldier, Roman can be said to have fallen from the clouds, but for some reason, every time he thinks about it, he wakes up with a smile in his dreams, and he also has a deep sense of gratitude to Burton.

...

The day after Grabo was executed, at noon on the 16th.

At the gates of the palace, the entrance and exit of the great wall of the royal city, Chino had joined his colleagues who had been imprisoned earlier.

After Chino was acquitted at the Kingdom Council, these officials were released one after another, and they ate and drank well in the palace, not to mention how beautiful their days were, and they were all in extremely good spirits, and many of them were fat, and they couldn't see the down-and-out appearance of the people who had just been arrested.

When they were first arrested, they were personally panicked, thinking that they were so unlucky that they would be implicated by Chino, and they spared no effort to clear up the relationship.

But now, thanks to Chino's blessings, they have embarked on a bright avenue, one by one smiling, the joy on their faces can't be hidden, and they keep shouting at him after seeing Chino, as if they were seeing their own father.

Lugo, Baixa, Palatin, and Necol also joined Chino.

Nico's journey can be described as a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns.

At first, he was fooled by Chino, felt that he was useless, and ran away from home in frustration.

Then he met Roman on the way, and after being told, he suddenly realized that he rushed back to the Savior.

As soon as she won the victory against the Visitor, Chino was bitten by the blasphemer, arrested, and imprisoned in the royal city.

During the interrogation, her mouth was very hard, she remained silent throughout the whole process, she did not speak no matter how she asked, and she was completely ironclad, so that even the experienced interrogators could do nothing.

She was ready to be tortured and even killed, but the Kingdom Council suddenly declared Chino innocent, and she was released in a daze.

By the time she reacted, she had become the "Legion Guard" above 10,000 people, and even the eight officials of Twilight City had to bow their heads and bow their eyebrows to talk to her.

Although this series of events happened in more than two months, these facts are so outrageous that ordinary people can remember everything for half a lifetime, let alone such a brainstorm.

The span of events was so large that Niko was still a little confused, and the whole person was confused, until those officials looked at her with flattering eyes, and she realized that this was not a dream.

"Huh~" At this time, a whistle sounded in Niko's ears.

Niko looked in the direction of the voice, and suddenly smiled, revealing a sunny smile: "Lord Denissa! ”

Denisha was leaning against the wall at this time, and lazily gave Nico a thumbs up: "Yes, the little man has a chance~ I still remember when you first entered the reserves, I advised you not to be a royal guard." Now it seems that um~ I have a lot of vision, the identity of the little imperial guard is not worthy of you at all, with your ability and will, you should go to a higher place, just like now~"

Niko was a little flattered, and said to Denisha, "You are smiling, I can have today, it is completely administrative... Ahem, it's all about the support of the Archon, and it's inseparable from the cultivation you have been giving me. ”

"Okay, okay, you can stop, you know I don't like to hear such flattery." Denisha touched her body for most of the day, touching her left pocket, feeling empty, touching her right pocket, and feeling empty.

Finally, Denisha reluctantly took out a small bottle of unopened wine, walked over and handed it to Niko, and said with a sad face, "Well, I've been so poor lately that I can't afford to buy anything good, so this should be your graduation gift." In the future, I will do a good job by Chino's side~"

"Thank you, sir!" Niko took the bottle in fear.

Outsiders may think that Denisha is too perfunctory, and the graduation gift is not given those expensive and commemorative gifts, but actually gives a bottle of wine.

But Niko, who served in the reserves, knows very well that Denisha is an alcoholic, and she gives you wine, not perfunctory, but the highest level of attention.

...

Chino, for his part, was greeting his colleagues.

As he walked, Chino came up to Roman, who was secretly looking at Niko not far away, a little distracted.

"Click." Chino snapped his fingers.

Roman suddenly came back to his senses, leaned over and said, "The Prince's Palace... Oh no, no, no! Your Excellency! ”

"You'll need to get used to your identity sooner, Roman, the guard." Chino glanced at Niko, who was not far away, and quipped to Roman, "Work harder, you don't want to be called by a little girl all day~"

Roman smiled knowingly and nodded vigorously.

After a round of greetings, Chino walked up to his newly selected three "lieutenants".

The three men had their own duties in wartime, but their administrative positions remained the same, with Palatine still being the caravan steward, Lugo still being the sheriff's captain, and Baixa still being the military commander—of course, in the current Twilight City, the status of the upper and lower ranks is clear, the status of the eight officials is more like the executor, and the planner is completely Chino alone.

Chino looked at the three giants of Shilin Town in front of him, his eyes swept over their faces one by one, and his smile seemed to be clear and meaningful: "You know what? I was pleasantly surprised by what had happened before. ”

Lugo smiled and asked, "My lord, what surprise?" ”

Chino: "Normally, when a powerful person falls, most of his subordinates will leave, or even step on me in the back - when I was arrested, I thought that one of you would betray me and stab me in the back. ”

"But it turned out that it was I who was too narrow-minded, and all three of you were loyal to me and didn't say anything bad to me during the interrogation."

During the interrogation in Wangcheng, many things about Chino were confessed, but all of them were confessed by those subordinates.

The interrogation files of Niko, Palatin, Lugo, and Baixa were either blank, or they were recorded as ridiculous, lying, and uncooperative, and did not confess any of Chino's secrets.

Now hearing Chino say this, Lugo coughed heavily, and deliberately raised his voice so that the officials of the royal city not far away could hear: "I am a very real person, I have always told the truth, everything I said during the interrogation was true, and there were no lies. ”

Whether there is a lie or not, when the result is predestined, the past is no longer important.

Now, there is a common goal between the Kingdom of Doguland and Chino, and there is a balance of interests, they both need each other, and they are destined not to harm each other, even if there is any problem, if they want to move Chino, everyone has to weigh it.

After Lugo finished laughing, Paladin laughed and said, "My lord, the three of us were the first to come out of Shilin Town with you, and we have faced countless lives and deaths with you, and we will always be loyal to you. ”

Chino: "Baiza, are you okay?" ”

Chino's sudden voice attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see sweat on Baiza's forehead, and some down his cheeks, he saw that everyone was staring at him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, subconsciously wiped away the beads of sweat, and said, "My lord, I'm fine." ”

"It's hot, isn't it?" Andrei came over at some point, he didn't have any racks, he kindly handed Baiza a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "The temperature in the falling season is like this, you think it's already cold, and the temperature will suddenly rise again, and it will be hot enough." ”

According to the concept of the previous life, the falling season already belongs to autumn, but today's weather is a very typical "autumn tiger", the sun is shining during the day, the body temperature is very uncomfortable, the sun shines directly on the body will have a sense of heat, and many people are so hot that they keep wiping sweat.

Being personally handed a handkerchief by His Royal Highness the Prince, Baisa seemed flattered, hurriedly took it, and thanked him repeatedly.

Chino also covered the sun above his head with his hand, squinted his eyes and said, "yes, I don't like hot weather, I really hope to cool down quickly." ”

"Yes." Andrei smiled and said, "Winter is coming." ”
