Nigur lay on the box, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, the muscles on his face had been twisted, and he was biting a wooden stick in his mouth, because he bit too hard, and a trace of blood was already flowing from between his teeth.

He was originally injured and not very good, he was whipped a few days ago, and the whip marks on his body have not healed for a long time. The flesh is blurred, and the skin is open.

Seeing that Nigul was almost unconscious in pain, he was forced to support him, although there was no rope on his body, but he still held the box firmly with both hands, straightened his back and was tortured.

It was Char's personal guard captain who carried out the execution, and he was a well-known ruthless character in the nose of the strong horseman, and at this time, his face was not at all distracted, and he saw that Ni Gul's body was trembling, but he still kept whipping in his hand.

Every whip came out of his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the leather whip shook straight in mid-air, whistling with the sound of breaking the air, falling on the person, it was a crisp sound, full of strength, "not mixed with half of the water at all!"

Char walked over, looked at the scene of the execution, and asked, but the captain of the guard was not in a hurry to answer, but just held the whip with his head bored, and pulled it over one by one, and then he took his hand" and threw the leather whip to the guard soldiers beside him, and said lightly: "Bring him over."

The two soldiers went over and caught Nigur left and right, and came to the captain of the guard, the captain of the guard looked at Nigur, who was already breathing, with a straight face, and said coldly: "Ten lashes are over, Nigur, you can be convinced!"

Nigul gritted his teeth and burst out of his throat with a short voice: "Subordinate...... Convincing!"

"Good. The captain of the personal guard took a deep breath and stared coldly at Nigul: "Although you have served as a high-ranking officer in the past, since you have joined our Northern Army and served in the Adult Guard, you must abide by the military law of our Northern Army! During the day today, if you rashly go out to shout without giving orders, you will violate military regulations and deserve to be punished with 30 lashes according to the law! This team will only give you 10 lashes because you are injured." From tomorrow onwards, "You will be left with 10 days of hard labor in the horse team! You will be able to return to the team after you have completed your service! This will be counted as your other punishment! This decision can you accept? If you have any objections" Naturally, it is possible to appeal to the military judge within the army. ”

Nigul shook his head and said in a low voice, "Subordinate...... Obey the punishment of adults. ”

The captain of the guard nodded: "Take him down and let the military medical officer come and give him medicine." ”

Nigur was no longer able to walk, he was supported by two people, his legs were weakly dragged to the ground, and the state was about to be carried down, but he heard Fu Ya say lightly on the side: "Wait a minute." ”

Seeing that it was the commander who spoke, the soldier quickly stopped.

Fuya walked up to Nigur and looked at Nigur coldly: "Do you know what you are doing wrong?"

Nigul's painful voice trembled a little, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, and said in a deep voice: "I...... I should not have gone out to shout without permission under the city of Merika today, I should have violated military rules, and I should be punished. ”

Char shook his head and sneered at Nigul, "This is just the appearance, not the root! Your fault is that you didn't recognize your identity!"

When Nigul heard this, his face showed a hint of disbelief, and he said in a low voice: "General, Nigur knows his identity very well, and I am now just a sergeant in your guard......"

"!" Char suddenly shouted: "Do you really think of yourself as a soldier in your heart?" Hmph! Nigul, I know your affairs very well" You started well in the city guards before, and I heard that you were quite a bit of a soldier, but do you think you are a real soldier? In Lao Tzu's opinion, "You are just a little wolf cub who has not been weaned, and you can only hide under the wings of your elders!"

When Nigur heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, ............"

"You're not convinced, aren't you?" Char sneered: "You must think in your heart that you have done a very good job in the city guards, but you were deceived by villains, and you made a big mistake when you fell for the trick! If it weren't for Gerry harming you, you would have been an excellent officer in the city guards, right?,

Nigur's body was shocked, "Char's words are directed to the deepest thoughts in his heart!"

These days, although he is full of remorse in his heart, tormented by hatred and guilt, "but deep down, in fact, there is no such thought: if it weren't for Gerry harming himself, he should be a rookie officer with a bright future in the emperor's **......

Moreover, he has always thought that he has done a very good job in the city guards before.

"That's right" you did go into battle, killed the enemy, saw blood, and were wounded...... Do you think this is called "outstanding"? Ridiculous! Tens of thousands of city guards: "Which one did not go into battle to kill the enemy, which one did not be wounded and bleed? Which one did not endure hardships? But you were able to be promoted from an ordinary sergeant to a battalion officer in a short period of time! Do you think that it is really because your performance is good enough? Hmph! What you are doing is what a soldier in the army should do! It is true that you have not done anything less than others, but you have not done a better job than others! It is nothing more than a decent one! You can be promoted to a battalion officer. But just because your uncle is General Span! It's ridiculous that you really think you're a talent! You think that your failure is only an occasional trap for the enemy's tricks?"

Nigur's heart shook violently, and he couldn't help but feel infinitely complicated in his heart.

After all, he was born in the aristocracy, and he suffered hardships in the army, so he thought that he had done a very good job Compared with other noble children, he was indeed more than ten times stronger. But if you really think about it carefully, there are tens of thousands of city guards, who is not fighting and bleeding and suffering, and they are really better than others? Or is it because of their identity and background......

Moreover, he was originally a child of the nobility, and the habit he developed since he was a child has a subtle subconscious in his heart: he deserves to be treated preferentially, deserves special treatment, and deserves to be more special than others......

"You will say that you are just angry because of hatred, but you ask yourself in your heart, don't you know the military regulations? Don't you know that your current identity is an ordinary sergeant in the army, and you are not qualified to go out of the team and shout, "Don't give orders, don't act rashly! Don't you know this? You know! But you knowingly commit a crime! Not only because you are angry in your heart, but also because you subconsciously do not regard yourself as an ordinary sergeant! You subconsciously still think of you?" You still think you're "special!" That's why you subconsciously treat military regulations as nothing!

Char word by word, Leng Ye's stab into Ni Gul's heart, "The heart of what Ni Gur said became more and more shocked, and he couldn't find half a word to refute Fu Ya's rebuke."

(I went into the army "just to have a chance of revenge.") ）

(I'm a petty soldier now, but I'm supposed to be a senior officer.) ）

(With my ability, as long as I show my previous performance in the city guard, I will soon be promoted to an officer.) ）

(Although shouting before the battle is a posture that only an officer has, I should be a dismissal officer at all.) ）

Do you really not have these thoughts?

Actually, it's always been in my heart!

"In your heart" is just to use entering the army as a springboard to realize your chances of revenge. Char said coldly: "Do you really act as a soldier's standard in your heart?"

Nigur: "......"

"I promised to give you the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy and take revenge, but this must be if you first become a general in our army! If you put the target of revenge above the identity of a soldier, then you should get out of my army as soon as possible! I want a soldier who strictly obeys military rules and prohibitions, not a noble child who thinks he is special! You are such a waste, and you still think that you are very special? Tell you, in Lao Tzu's army, any person is better than you."

"If you don't give orders, you dare to leave the team and shout without permission! What do you think you are? Are you a general? Are you a noble lord! You are just a sergeant now! You are a soldier! If all the soldiers in the army are like you, if they have personal anger and act rashly and without obeying military regulations, will they not become a plate of loose sand! If you only want to take revenge, you will take your sword and go to Merika City, or assassinate you, "It doesn't matter if you come to your door to die, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu!" If you stay in Lao Tzu's army, you must recognize your own identity: "You are just a soldier now!" A big-headed soldier with no status! Do your duty as an ordinary sergeant and guard your identity!"

"Maybe you have some ability, maybe you think very highly of yourself, maybe you think you are very capable! But before you are qualified to go out and shout as an officer, be a good soldier! If you can't even do an ordinary soldier, don't want to be an officer and a general to take revenge!"

Char tilted his head and said coldly to the soldier on the left side of Nigul, "You, report your rank and position." ”

The soldier immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Stark, Gan, Second Sergeant of the Second Squadron of the Cavalry Battalion!"

"Sergeant 1st Class...... He was the lowest-ranking sergeant in my cavalry battalion. Tell me, why are you still just a sergeant, and not an officer? Is it because you are not brave enough to perform well?"

The sergeant said loudly, "General, I beheaded seven people when I was fighting in Syrtan County, and when I was blocking the vanguard of the cavalry of the Red Snow Army, I personally killed three people, and one of them was an Officer Odin!"

"Yes, in that war in Syltanshire, you killed ten Odin, which is a very good performance" But you tell me, and tell this idiot around you, why are you still an ordinary sergeant?"

The sergeant took a deep breath and said loudly: "Because my colleagues have performed better than me! General! Serving in the army and going into battle to kill the enemy is just the true character of a soldier" I just did what I should do! I dare not say any credit! I also want to be promoted, but I will show better performance to win the opportunity for promotion!"

Char nodded, and then looked at Nigul coldly: "Did you hear clearly? In our army, if you want to make a difference, you want to be an officer, but it is not as easy as in the city guard! You can be promoted in the city guard if you do a little bit of what you should do, and that's because of your uncle's protection! But here in Lao Tzu, "it's not enough to do your duty well! You must perform better than everyone else in order to become an officer, or even a general! But in my opinion, you are far from being qualified to even be a soldier now!" You can do it yourself! Lao Tzu saw that you were brought by that fat man from Ruhr, and a genius wasted some saliva to reprimand you! Next time, you will be driven out of my barracks and left to fend for yourself. ”

After speaking, Fuya stopped talking, turned around and left.

Ni Guer was stunned on the spot, his whole body trembled, and many thoughts flashed in his heart, first his face was like ashes, and finally a trace of absoluteness flashed in his eyes, and he broke away with the soldiers who were holding him on both sides, and endured the pain on his body, "Turned his head and walked towards the captain of the guard, bowed his head and saluted: "My lord, I will accept the twenty lashes from the stab!"

The captain of the "butterfly" guard frowned: "Why? You are injured, and this team understands you, so we changed the twenty lashes to ten days of hard labor." ”

"No, I ask for twenty lashes" Please allow me to stay in the team after receiving the whips! I don't want to do hard labor" I want to play in the team!" After a pause, Nigur gritted his teeth and whispered, "Captain, I want to be a qualified sergeant." ”

"......" The captain of the guard hesitated slightly: "Understood." He took the leather whip again and looked at Nigul: "First Class Sergeant Nigur, stand up and receive the punishment!"

Char walked more than ten steps, and suddenly heard the sound of a leather whip behind him, his heart moved, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't look back, but strode away.

"You must have been too that poor boy. ”

After walking a few steps, Dora's sigh came to my head.

Char snorted and sneered: "Lao Tzu is very good to him, if it weren't for the sake of the dead fat man of Ruhr" and the loyalty of General Span, who died in battle, this kind of waste would have been kicked out of my barracks a long time ago."

He thought he was "still an officer, and he thought he was a nobleman?"

"Actually, I think this Nigur has some ability. A noble child, it is good to be able to do this part, if you cultivate it well, "you may not be able to become a general in the future." ”

Fuya listened to Dora's words and smiled coldly: "Although you are wise, you are a dragon after all, and the dragon clan is strong individually, but after all, you don't understand the affairs of our human team." That old man once said: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier............"

That's a good thing. Dora laughed: "This Nigul probably wants to be a general." Only when you become a general "have power in your hands, can you have a chance to take revenge." ”

,...... "Hmph, what I said is only half a sentence!" The second half of the sentence is: If you don't know how to be a good soldier, you will never become a general!"

"But after all, remembering the loyalty of General Span, Char still called the captain of the personal guard at night.

"How's that stupid boy?"

The captain of the guard replied: "He was forcibly given twenty more lashes," and when he was finished, he fainted in pain, and he was already put back. ”

"Hmm. Char nodded: "Let the military medical officer go and give him medicine to heal his wounds." Tomorrow we will go on the road, and we will not have to give him any preferential treatment, let him ride into the team on his own horse, if not, let him tie himself to the back of the horse and march, if he cannot support it" and tell him to go to the miscellaneous camp and take the carriage. ”

The captain of the guard led the order.

On the second day, "the whole army assembled early in the morning, Char looked at the guards around him, and sure enough, he saw the figure of Nigul.

The fellow's face was as pale as paper, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, but he was still fully armoured, and he sat on horseback and looked closely at the poison, but he tied his own legs to the sides of the saddle with ropes, and fixed his body to the horse's back with ropes.

When Char saw it, he felt a little satisfied in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at Nigul more.

Nigul's face was solemn, Dan did not squint, and honestly followed the march in the ranks, not daring to cross the line at all.

Char's thousands of cavalry, with a huge convoy, traveled on the road, and the speed was naturally not fast.

Under the watchful eye of the surrounding Armenian troops, the army finally left the border of the Armenian Military District after nine days.

After leaving the Armenian Military Region and going north, there are still two small military regions, but these two small military regions, although they are also among the ranks of the rebels, are originally small forces, "weak in strength, watching Char's thousands of cavalry crossing the border, where do they dare to provoke right and wrong? It is nothing more than sending people to send Char to cross the border, and even when crossing the border, they also gave a batch of grain and grass, just hoping that the army of Fuya can leave as soon as possible."

Walking through these two places, you will enter the power of the Besta people.

The county of Esria has been merged with the Besta military district to form the new "Great Besta County", and the official document has been issued by the imperial capital and brought to the Besta army.

After entering the sphere of influence of the Besta allies, Fuya instead ordered the whole army to speed up the march

Finally, six days after entering the territory of the Bestas, they arrived at the important military town of the Besta people, Haske, and the cavalry of Besta had already entered Haske City. When Fuya's army arrived outside the city, the Besta people had already sent an envoy saying that the governor's wife had set up a banquet in the city to wash the dust of General Char, and prepared a batch of grain and grass materials to supplement the expenses of Char's army along the way.

Fuya smiled at the grain and grass sent, but politely refused the invitation to the banquet of the governor's wife. He sent the messenger of the Besta people back with a message: "The Governor's wife must have more important things to do now, so there is no need to waste time in greeting me as a guest. ”

The governor's wife planned to leave Lear in the imperial capital as a hostage, and when she returned home, she naturally wanted to purge Lear's forces inside, where would she really have the heart to entertain herself.

Besides, "Char was still a little annoyed that he was inadvertently used by this woman".

The group soon passed through the city of Haske, and circled without stopping, "all the way north", and the Besta side sent five hundred light horsemen along the road to escort them out of the northern border pass, and after watching Char's army leave their own territory, they breathed a sigh of relief, "Go back to the city of Hasker to die."

By the time Xia Pong finally arrived in Siltan County, it had been twenty-seven days since his army had left the imperial capital.

He had already sent a vanguard team of light horsemen to hurry back to deliver the letter, "When his army entered, there was already a mad dog Green who personally led thousands of cavalry to wait on the border to meet Char.

After the two sides met," Char finally relieved.

Poisoning the wagons and materials in the team to his subordinates and slowly transporting them all the way, Char immediately divided his troops, took part of the cavalry, and together with Green, hurried on light horse, and went to the capital of Siltan County, New Town, "After a little repair here", he would continue on the road, continue to go north non-stop, and return to Denzel City, Mor County.

On the night of their stay in Xincheng, Fuya and Green had a detailed talk about "all the gains and things he encountered when he went to the imperial capital Qinwang this time."

After listening to Char's story, Green thought that this trip to the imperial capital was basically a success. Although the material gains are not much...... Although the booty captured from the rebels is a windfall, the bigger capture is a political benefit!

At least, the name of the Northern Garrison has been decided, even if it is for the small group with Char as the core, it has completed the transformation from a "black household" to a legitimate feudal prince.

In terms of identity, he was officially established by the Northern Garrison, and "Fuya himself served as the general of the garrison, and he was appointed to take charge of military affairs, so that this small group under Char" was finally legalized. There's no need to worry about political identity anymore.

However, on this night in the new city, "Green made a very formal suggestion.

"Relocation of the Governorship, from Denzel to New Town?"

Faced with Green's suggestion, Fuya fell into deep thought......

Now the seat and base camp of Fuya are set up in the city of Denzel. But such a situation had to be done at the beginning.

At that time, Char's official position was the military chief of Moore, and his seat was in Denzel City. And later, the Odin invaded south, and Char held on to the city of Denzel, but most of the southern part of Mor County was occupied by the Odin.

The original capital of Mor County was in Mesta, and after Char recaptured Mesta, he had the idea to move his base camp to Mesta.

The city of Mesta is much larger than Denzel, more populous and more accessible. As the capital city of a county, it is naturally more suitable as a base camp than the small border military town of Denzel City.

However, because the Odin people in the south were entrenched in Syltan County at that time, "the city of Mesta was too close to the sphere of influence of the Odins", and in the event of a war, the city of Mesta would become the front line at any time, and it was not suitable as a base camp from a military point of view.

But now the situation is different.

The county of Siltan had already been occupied by Char, and even the Corsican Military Region had fallen into Char's hands. With three counties in his hands, Denzel City, a small border city with its remote geography, was no longer suitable as his home base.

And at the moment, it seems that the most suitable place is the capital of Xincheng and Siltan County!
