Chapter 41: Deputy Instructor, a belated medal
Avril's pharmacy was back in business, and the other medicine stalls in the camp were not affected, and they didn't even know about the Marquis Lemont's plans, let alone that their business was on the verge of bankruptcy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Lord Charrie, the instructor, Aina and Avril were suspicious of this matter, they would never have thought that Orta had the ability to make Marquis Lemon crazy, and it was so weird.
They could only speculate from rumors, and in the end they all agreed that Lemon had acted so radically because of the betrayal of the woman, and that he himself had been so stimulated to go crazy.
But whatever the reason, the matter has finally come to an end.
Although the adventurers were large in number and hostile to the Guards, they fell in the comparison of strength, so they only dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
The Marquis of Will's army was divided into two parts, with 5,000 men stationed at the south gate of the camp, and the rest of the sergeants stationed in the new camp by the lake. In this way, the north gate guarded by the Guards was almost no longer a threat, so after leaving a few disabled soldiers to guard it, the Guards took over the west gate as a whole and shared it with the demon team and adventurers.
Originally, I thought that after adding a new camp, these merchants would reduce the diversion, but I didn't expect that more and more merchants would arrive in the city-state, and they would increase instead of decreasing.
Although Lord Xia Rui and Marquis Will completely broke up because of the new camp, they were both restrained on the surface, and there were no major contradictions. Although there are still rumors of a fight between the demon team and the adventurers, because no one has been killed and no one has proposed a ruling, the Xiluo Village under the undercurrent seems to have returned to its original quiet on the surface.
For the next half a month, Ota had to lead his team out hunting every day, and two newcomers were recruited into the team, that is, Iron Man and Ellie, Iron Man stood in the second position of the assistant defense, and his sister Ellie stood in the fifth position of the bow and arrow.
The third position of the assistant defense is an old man in the army, his name is Kuhe, the standard equipment of the shield spear, and the combat power is also good. The fourth, fifth, and sixth positions are all long-range bow positions, except for Ellie, the other two are all archers who have stood behind the protective wall to protect Otta, and they are quite optimistic about Otta's current combat strength, so when Otta asked them to join their team and give Elle as much guidance as possible, the two agreed to come down.
Since Lord Xia Rui ordered that during the period when the guards were recuperating, the free team to hunt only needed to pay 30% of the spoils, and the rest belonged to the team, so of course, these people were very happy.
But if these archers want to hunt, they must have strong combat power to stabilize the first position of the charge, that is to say, a character like the instructor's fortress can not only steadily attract the hatred of the orcs, but also resist their attacks for a long time and protect themselves, only such a character is enough to ensure the safety of their archers.
Therefore, when Ota took the initiative to invite, the two agreed without the slightest hesitation, because everyone in Ota Combat Power Guards had already seen it, and he was already no less than the number three person in the instructor fortress, of course, this ranking also took into account the face of Lord Xia Rui and the instructor, otherwise there would be many people who believed it if he was ranked first.
"Ota is back, how did you get today?" The sergeant guarding Ximen immediately greeted with a smile when he saw Ota and his team walk in.
"Not bad. Orta nodded politely.
Kuhe and Tetsuo, who were walking behind Otta, were carrying huge animal skin packages on their shoulders, which were all today's trophies, and the archers on Elle's left and right were also carrying leather bags, bulging with bags.
When Otta's squad went straight to the camp of the Guards, several sergeants guarding the west gate said enviously:
"Kuhe, these guys are really lucky, they can go out hunting with Otah, and they must have gained a lot of money by seeing their big bags. ”
"That's right, the one who hunts the most in our guards right now is Otta, by the way, I heard that the lord intends to promote Ota to the rank of deputy instructor, do you know?"
"I know this best, I'll tell you......"
Lord Xia Rui can now get out of bed and move, but he can't do without crutches for the time being. At the moment, he was basking in the sun outside the military tent, and the medicinal cloth on his leg had been removed, revealing the newly grown granulation on the wound in the sun, which would help him recover.
When he was a little drowsy from the sun, Lord Xia Rui heard the unique loud voice of the quartermaster not far away, a rugged man who spoke only a little worse than himself.
In a drowsy state, Xia Rui muttered, "What is this kid yelling about?"
Then the quartermaster's voice sounded again: "Three hundred and thirty-eight skins, eight hundred and forty-two complete claws, and one thousand and seven teeth...... A gray magic bead, the Orta team won 2,687 points of military merit this time, and told me that it was recorded after being assigned by myself. ”
"Today's price, eight bronze animal skins, five copper claws, four bronze teeth, and fifty silver coins of magic beads...... A total of one gold coin and sixty silver coins, and after deducting thirty percent, there is one gold coin and twelve silver coins left, which you will report to me after distributing them yourself, and after registering them, they will be distributed together with the military salary. ”
Lord Xia Rui shook his head and sobered up a little, looked over, and saw that Outa came over after distributing military merits and rewards, and said with a smile:
"You kid, okay, you haven't made less money in the past half a month, more than your instructor, and I think you can buy a piece of territory in less than a year." ”
Ota also smiled, and after a few polite words, he whispered with a straight expression: "Today I led the team to the outskirts of Oka Village, and luckily killed an elite orc whose combat power is close to that of the orc leader, I found that there are not too many orcs left in that orc tribe, and there are probably ten thousand or four or five, should we have prepared early?"
When Lord Xia Rui heard this, he immediately came to his senses, pondered for a moment and said: "Preparation must be done, but now our military strength is limited, and many seriously injured and sick people have not fully recovered, and it is impossible to eat it in one bite, but let me go to Will, this bastard......"
Lord Xia Rui seemed to suddenly remember something, and said sharply: "This matter will be discussed together when the fortress comes back, as for the matter between me and Will, I guess you have heard a lot, but you are still young, so don't get involved." ”
Orta nodded, and was about to leave for the blacksmith shop when he was stopped by Lord Shari, and then he ordered someone to enter the military tent and take out a box on the table, open it and say:
"Originally, you should have received this medal after you killed the witch, but after I reported it to the consul of the city-state, this guy actually said that it needed to be verified, so I didn't mention it when I came here. ”
"I've also checked it after I came, and I also sent someone to hand over the magic bead and bone staff, but this thing is just for him to show and has other great uses...... This is not to be said in advance, but also to the medal. Anyway, this thing is a bit delayed, and you know that people nowadays are not like before, they see more money, and fewer people have a conscience to do practical things, so it has been delayed until now. ”
Ota was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he had heard Aina mention of the medal, and he was looking forward to it at the time, this was an honor, but after a long time, he thought that this matter was yellow and hopeless, but there was an unexpected surprise today, and he couldn't help laughing.
Lord Xia Rui slowly stood up, looked around and shouted:
"All the panting people in the barracks have come to me, how can such a happy event be witnessed by no one to witness it, and they will all chirp for me. By the way, I'm going to promote Ota to assistant instructor and get my armor, which must be solemn. ”
Ota hurriedly tried his best to prevent him from wearing armor, after all, the lord's injury had not healed, and it was very uncomfortable to wear armor, but Lord Xia Rui was very persistent, and even glared at him, so Ota didn't dare to stop him.
After Xia Rui finished wearing it, he took out the medal from the box, which was a palm-sized iron cross, which was cast at a glance, so the material was very general and the color was a little gray, but the ornamentation on the medal was extremely beautiful, and there was a lion head composed of many lines in the center, which was the family emblem pattern that could only be used by today's royal families.
Xia Rui saw that Ota was fascinated, so he waved his hand with a slight smile and said, "Do I still have to pass this leg and foot?"
There was a burst of laughter around him, and Ota immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly walked a few steps to stand in front of Lord Xia Rui.
Lord Xia Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are good, with the military merit value you get every day, I believe it won't be long before a bronze cross will be sent over, do a good job, Ota." ”
Ota nodded again and again, watching Lord Xia Rui's big hands hanging the Iron Cross on his left chest, and couldn't help but be a little excited.
At this time, the sergeants who were watching around were chirping enthusiastically, and the iron man's eyes were bright, and his excited panting voice was a little uneven. And Elle smiled very sweetly, she was so happy, as if she had won a medal, there was a strange look in her eyes, and her face and neck quietly turned red at some point.
Xia Rui looked around and asked, "From today onwards, Ota will be appointed as the deputy instructor of the Guards, is there anyone who is not convinced? If you feel that your combat strength can beat him, you can challenge him." ”
The sergeants around me look at you, you look at me, and then they all shook their heads.
What are you kidding? Anyone who is not blind has seen that Ota can fight the orc leader alone, and he warms up with four or five orcs at a time, so let's challenge such a fierce man?
Challenge: If you don't go, you won't go to death.
"There's nothing to disagree with, is it? Okay, that's it. Xia Rui said with a smile.
Compared with the position of deputy instructor, Orta valued this medal more, at this time, he held back tears and raised his eyes to the sky, and whispered softly in his mouth:
"Daddy, did you see that? Today your son has finally received a medal, and although it is only the lowest order, it is only the beginning. Dad, I swore that in this life I will avenge you, I will kill the orcs, I will do it, I will follow in your footsteps......"
