Volume VII Section 61 Brother Tie

Hess nodded again and again, and at this time, just thinking about the scene of these 100,000 people gathered in one place, he already knew that it must be spectacular.

But suddenly, this kid also had a question because of this, he asked: "By the way, Kelton, there are 100,000 people in a corps, so are these people soul masters?"

Hess's question did ask a key point, and I saw that Kerton had a straight face, and after a light "um", he said: "Well, this matter is a bit of a secret in the army. ”

Seeing that Kelton looked a little embarrassed, Hess was also clever, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Oh, that's it, since it's a military secret, it's okay not to say it, I'm just asking casually." ”

After listening to this, Kerton smiled leisurely and said: "Hehehe, although it is necessary to keep secrets, but this is also for the enemy country, you are all nationals of the stone country, and if I say it, it cannot be regarded as a leak, and even if I don't say it now, when you perform your military service in the future, you will know about it as soon as possible." ”

After talking about it, Kelton picked up his steel gun called "Golden Tip" again, and said while wiping it: "Normally, within a squad, the person who can be the leader of the squad must be a soul master of the grinding realm, however, some civilian veterans may have good experience and force, so they can also serve as the squad leader." ”

"The members of the squad are composed of some low-level soul masters and ordinary civilians, and at this point, the state does not have any mandatory regulations. ”

"However, civilians are always civilians, although they can serve as squad leaders, they can only serve as squad leaders at most, and the positions of squadron leader, group captain, and thousand captain above the squad leader cannot be involved. ”

"Therefore. Since the position of squadron leader, there have been certain rigid rules, squadron leader, he must be a soul master, and the realm must be above the essence realm. ”

"A soul master who holds the position of captain needs to meet the requirements of the condensation realm. Captain Qian, on the other hand, is even higher, and must be a soul master above the mad realm. ”

"Of course, a corps commander who is one level higher than the captain of a thousand can only be qualified by a soul master above the solid realm, and moreover, a soul master with a knighthood is also needed. ”

Kerton gave a detailed introduction, but the stone's eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he thought about it in his heart. He said secretly: "If the position of the corps commander must be held by the Soul Solidifier, then this condition seems to be a bit too harsh. ”

"A soul master with a solid realm is also a little famous in the soul master world, although it can't be said to dominate one side, but it's definitely okay to be domineering. ”

"Since they are already soul solidifiers, why do they choose to join the army, right? Is there room for better development in the military?"

Don't look at what the stone thinks, but he only knows one thing. I don't know second, there is still the existence of the corps above the corps, and above the corps, there is a higher position, called the commander, and a soul master who can become the commander of the corps or even the commander of the corps, then he was once determined to be the corps commander or the corps commander's partial regiment. That is, the deputy corps commander.

After talking about the minimum needs of each captain, everyone also secretly weighed in their hearts, and Hess, who was originally proud of his cultivation improvement, has been in this area for less than a year since he came out of the Soul Master Academy in Tess Town. He entered the realm of intermediate grinding by leaps and bounds, but at this time, according to what Kelton said, after a little measurement, he could only be a squad leader in charge of 25 people.

Therefore, this kid also lacks interest in his heart, and if it is necessary, he does not want to join the army.

After introducing the specific army establishment and the minimum requirements for captains, Kerton changed the topic and talked about himself, he said: "Because at that time, a small country attached to the Yuan State suddenly declared war on Wari, so the squadron I was in was incorporated into the 7th Corps of the Luther Army of the Zhenbei Army and became a force in it. ”

"Moreover, the Corps was also sent to Wari City, the only city in the Wari Country, and became the garrison of this city."

"At that time, it should be the middle of 1259 in the mainland, and it was also this seemingly inconspicuous year, but my life changed. ”

"Continent 1259?" Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly calculated in his heart, "It's the year 1342 on the mainland, that is to say, more than eighty years ago, Kerton was already a soul master, but even if he was a dark soul master, now, he was just a soul master in the spirit realm. ”

"It seems that although the Dark Soul Master has no bottleneck in cultivation, the beast heart and primordial soul that need to be devoured must be an extremely large number. ”

Although it was a year of important changes in his life, Kelton's state at this time seemed calm, and according to what he said before, he still seemed to maintain a lingering mentality about becoming a dark soul master, but at this time, he was very relieved.

Kerton continued: "Originally, according to the high-level plan, our 7th Corps was only a advance army, because it was originally guarded on the northern border, so it only took us ten days to enter the city of Wari, and after entering, we only needed to withstand the first few attacks of the enemy. ”

After that, there will be reinforcements to support, and then make peace with the enemy country inside and outside, and annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”

However, the plan was always a plan, although with the 100,000 troops of the Seventh Corps, it was not difficult to hold a small city of Wari, and with the tactics of only defending and not attacking, there was not much tension in the whole regiment at the beginning. ”

Moreover, there was no sense of urgency at the time of the war, but under such circumstances, this defense lasted for more than a year. ”

Hearing this, the stone didn't seem to believe it, so he hurriedly interjected: "What? more than a year!?

For the war, Stone is definitely a layman, and the biggest battle he has experienced is only a small fight in Inburg City at that time, if it weren't for Xun Xun telling Shi at the time, the battle of this scale in Inburg City cannot be compared with war at all, otherwise, this kid will really be self-righteous, thinking that a battle between the two forces in Inburg City is no different from war.

Although he had not seen what war was like, Stone knew that Kerton was the defender. The enemy was the besieging side, and in this case, Kelton's corps was completely cut off from the outside world.

But even so, the Seventh Army still held the city of Wari for more than a year.

What does this mean, it represents an extremely difficult result. You must know that there are 100,000 people in a corps, and the food and drink of these 100,000 people alone is an extremely huge burden.

No matter how much grain and grass was prepared in the city of Wari before the war, it could be a year's errand. It's enough to be eaten by this huge army!

Kerton saw that the stone had an expression of disbelief, and he naturally understood that the stone was not doubting whether what he said was true or false, but asking again in disguise, how these 100,000 people came to life.

Therefore, Kerton nodded slightly at the stone, and then replied, "Yes." At that time, we did hold the city of Wari for more than a year. And the situation at that time really pushed people into a desperate situation, and one of the biggest problems was how to feed these 100,000 people. ”

"Although there are some soul division masters among the 100,000 people, there are only three or four thousand people, and the realm level of these three or four thousand people is uneven. For the entire army, only a very small amount of food was saved. ”

"Besides, since we are only a local garrison, we were originally waiting for the assistance of the Shi Kingdom, therefore. Although the preparation of supplies had been exhausted before the war, after half a year of hard work, the food in the city had been exhausted, and there were no grains left. ”

"And it was in this situation that our Seventh Corps not only held on to the city of Wari for more than half a year, but also held out until the last reinforcements arrived. ”

Kerton lightly brushed aside the matter, but the other people present definitely knew that in the absence of food, most of the officers and men of the Seventh Corps must have starved to death.

At this time, Lonell, who had not spoken for a long time, actually spoke, and he said: "Brother Kearson, how many people are left in your Seventh Corps in the end?"

Lornell's question was also what the others present wanted to ask, so they all looked at Kelton, waiting for his answer.

Kerton did not deliberately avoid it, and lightly spit out four words, saying: "Less than ten thousand." ”

"Huh?" When everyone heard this, they immediately took a breath, and there were only less than 10,000 of these 100,000 people, presumably, in addition to the soldiers who died defending the city, the vast majority died of starvation.

Kerton continued: "Remember when I said about my immediate boss, 'Brother Tie'?"

Before everyone could recover from their surprise, Hess immediately replied, "Yes, that's the squadron leader." ”

Kerton sighed lightly, looked at the steel gun in his hand, and began to be silent, and was silent.

After a long time, until Keton's complexion, a sense of peace slowly appeared, and he said: "This 'golden tip' is also what Brother Tie left me." ”

"What about Brother Tie, did he get a better weapon?" Hess didn't even think about it, and directly said casually.

And as soon as this kid said this, everyone's eyes looked at him in unison, all of them with the idea of sewing his mouth together, and glared at him angrily.

Kelton's performance just now is already very obvious, this person called "Iron Brother" was either unable to use a gun because of serious injuries after the war, or unfortunately died in that war, and Hess, this kid, doesn't speak through his brain, and he prefers to not open which pot to mention, which pot should really be beaten.

However, Kerton did not blame Hess's recklessness, but smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Tie has not seen anyone alive since the last battle in Wari City, and there is no corpse dead. ”

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked again, but they didn't expect that this person was not injured or killed in battle, but ended up missing.

"Hey!" Kerton sighed, "On the battlefield at that time, we had already made up our minds to break the ship, of course, we had no idea beforehand, that reinforcements would suddenly appear after a full year of delay, when we were making our final struggles. ”

"And after that battle, I only found the usual steel spear of 'Brother Tie', and as for the Qi people, they disappeared like this. ”

When Kerton said this, Hess quickly interjected, "It must be his body being trampled to pulp." ”

But before the kid's words fell, Navia really couldn't sit still, she hurriedly got up, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at Hess angrily and scolded: "Get out, Hess, don't show you the color, you really can't control your broken mouth?"

Hess hurriedly jumped back, avoiding Navia's sharp eyes, and put his hands together to his mouth, posing as if he was begging for mercy, and it seemed that Hess finally realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Shi hurriedly changed the topic and said to Kerrton: "Brother Kerrton, when did your Dark Soul Master awaken. ”

Stone had almost listened to Kelsen's story, but he didn't seem to have mentioned it yet, so he simply asked directly, after all, this kid was interested in the matter of the Dark Soul Master. (To be continued.) )
