According to Gould, he was born in the eastern province of the East China Sea in the eastern part of the Empire of Light, and was an orphan from an early age, living with one of his distant uncles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When he was sixteen years old, his uncle died, and he had no worries and a young man who longed for the outside world, so he joined a local adventure group with a few friends who had been friends since childhood, and left his hometown.

In the first few years, he followed the adventure group all the way north, as far as the northernmost part of the empire, Lingbei Linhai, where he lived as a mercenary to capture demonic beasts and protect caravans. After chewing snow on the snowfield for a few years, he followed the adventure group to the north and south and came to Lingbei Province.

In the border war between the empire and Isbi, the adventure group was plundered by an Isby army while escorting a caravan across the border, and the regiment commander was killed, and he was exiled for half a month before returning to Lingbei, and finally simply gritted his teeth and joined the army.

Because of a few years of adventurous life, Gould is far better than those ordinary recruits, both physically and mentally. This allowed him to stand out in the barracks at that time, serving as a cavalry squad leader. Soon after, he was lucky enough to be favored by a general and made him his personal guard.

When the war ended, the general was promoted by virtue of his military exploits and was transferred back to the imperial capital military headquarters. Before leaving, he proposed Gould to his successor as a commander of the Blizzard Legion. But because this guy was too young and a civilian, Gould didn't get much promotion in the Blizzard Legion, and only served as a battalion officer in a cavalry battalion.

The Blizzard Corps was then redundant, several of Gould's cavalry battalions were downsized, and he was transferred to the province of Lodolin as an infantry battalion officer. Located in the heart of the empire, Rodolin was largely a war-free area. After another seven or eight years in the barracks, after a routine drill three years ago, the Central Military Department carried out a large-scale reorganization of several regiments in Moxi Province, and his original Luo Duolin Regiment was transferred to the neighboring Moxi Province, and he and some of his colleagues were transferred to Moxi Province to serve as the deputy commander of the garrison of a border city county.

So soon, the war broke out in the northwest, this guy because it was unfavorable to defend the city, and there were many enemies in Moxi who took advantage of the situation to attack, presumably if he returned to Moxi, he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die. But how could he Uncle Gould be a person who could suffer a loss, after thinking about it, he simply slapped his thigh, and Lao Tzu quit! Directly with a dozen or so personal soldiers beside him, he went into the valley corridor and became a horse thief.

Listening to this fat man's words, Joseph was nothing at first, but in the end he simply admired this fat man.

If it's as he says, this Gould is definitely a talent!

From the south to the north, with the exception of the central and southern provinces, he stayed in almost every place, knew about it in every different regiment, and held official positions large and small. A veteran who has been in the barracks for more than ten years, this qualification alone is absolutely moving.

Although Jose is not from the Bright Empire and is not very familiar with this country, he has heard Su Ya mention the "Blizzard Legion" and "Moxi Army" mentioned by Gould several times, and each time he is a look of admiration. Moreover, he has learned a lot about the Bright Empire through the people who have passed through the caravan in the past month. When it comes to army quality, the Bright Empire has three main legions, namely the Blizzard Army in Lingbei Province, the Moxi Army in Moxi Province, and the Wangcheng Guards in the Central Military Department. According to the geographical location, it is commonly known as the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army and the Central Army!

And this guy has actually been in two of the three ace legions?

"But you became a deserter like this? With your seniority and connections in the army for so many years, even if you lose the city and county, if you find some connections and deal carefully, you may not necessarily have no chance to atone for your crimes. What about your family, what about your old friends and relatives? Although I don't know much about you, I don't think you're a pedantic fool, but you are cunning and sleek, so are you willing to be a horse thief?"

Jose looked at him suspiciously, his eyes were firmly fixed on the fat man's eyes, but secretly released a few traces of spiritual power, locked on Gould's body, if the guy lied and fooled himself, he could immediately feel her abnormality.

The fat man shook his head, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "It's useless, although I have been a soldier for many years, and there are many old friends and acquaintances in various military camps, but most of them are the same as me, just some middle and low-level officers, how can they have the ability to catch me?

Even so, only one-third of the commander-level officers in various parts of the empire are civilians. The bigwigs in the military department of the imperial capital are all aristocratic lords without exception...... You're a magician, and you don't know the rules of the army. ”

"Moreover," Gould said this, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, and his voice was much lowered: "This war in the northwest is a muddy water, and there are many internal contradictions in the imperial capital military, not just simple border frictions. My official position is not high, so I don't get much news, but I heard that it is inextricably linked with General Heru, the governor of Moxi.

The imperial military system was originally a local general without a permanent army, but because of the complicated border situation in Moxi, General Heru only guarded it all the year round, and this situation is unique in the provinces of the empire. No, not long after the Northwest War began, General Heru was transferred back to the center, and when he heard that the Northwest Army on the front line was in chaos when he heard the news, he almost mutinied. In the end, it was suppressed by the Duke of Casa, who led the army, and it was barely calmed down.

Alas, I can only blame Lao Tzu for his bad luck and being transferred to such a whirlpool, if there is room for maneuver, Lao Tzu is naturally unwilling to be a deserter. But this time it is clearly a power struggle between the big people, and the life and death of us little people naturally do not matter.

The day after I and these subordinates escaped from Moxi, I heard that the verdict issued by the military headquarters had come down, and the county guard, the chief and deputy commanders, and the battalion-level officers were all convicted.

Damn! At least wait until the war is over, and now they are in a hurry to put power in the center, and without the Northwest Army to resist, who will defend the western frontier for the empire? These old men of the military department are really a bunch of pig brains!"

José listened to Gould's indignant complaints, and the last doubts in his heart were dispelled. It's just that if the situation is really like this, then I'm afraid that the burden on Su Ya's body is definitely not light, but I don't know if this little girl is in Moxi City now.

Gould looked at Jose and was silent for a long time, thinking that he was doubting his words, so he quickly explained: "Boss Jose, what I'm saying Gould is the truth. If you don't believe me, when you pass through Moxi Pass, as a magician, you can ask the chief guarding the pass, Gould, the fat man of Sadland, to know if what I said is true!"

Jose smiled, and his eyes fell on the fat man's face: "Are you very famous, even the prefects of other counties know you?"

"Hehe, I won't tell you anything, the county guard who is now guarding the city in Moxi is my old acquaintance in the army. I think that when we were secretly drinking together in the barracks and were discovered by the commander of the flag regiment, it was still the black pot that Lao Tzu carried for him, and he didn't confess it, but I was demoted by the commander by one level, and I was beaten with forty military sticks, and I lay down for half a month before I could barely get out of bed. ”

When Gould said this, the fat on his face shook with his grinning mouth, obviously nostalgic for the memories of his youth, but the emotion and pride inadvertently revealed in the fat man's look and eyes could not be faked.

Originally, Jose only thought that this guy was a cunning and vulgar horse thief, but he didn't expect him to have these origins. Seeing him speak a little boldly, it made Jose feel a little more fond of this fat man - it seems that this cunning fat man should still be able to be trusted.

"Haha, so, I also picked up a treasure!" José was in a good mood, he didn't expect his unintentional move to recruit such a talent, the more he looked at this fat man with a meaty face, the more pleasing he felt and couldn't help laughing.

Gould saw that this magician was a little more satisfied in his eyes, and his expression was a little happy, and naturally a smile appeared on his face, but he secretly muttered in his heart:

It is said that this magician has a strange temperament, today Lao Tzu is insightful, if ordinary people listen to my identity as a deserter, they will not be scared much farther, this guy is actually quite happy, recruiting an imperial wanted criminal, damn, the courage is simply bigger than Lao Tzu!
