Chapter 145: Little Losha
Grey Space Beckoning, Philip's automatic washing machine.
On this day, the Gray Army garrison was unprecedentedly lively because of these two events. Of course, when it comes to appeal, the latter is undoubtedly the greater. It's almost a conceptual subversion!
Clothes, of course, should be washed by hand, which has been the consensus of people in other worlds for thousands of years. But now seeing this automatic rotation of the washing machine to remove dirt from clothes, this consensus is broken.
This is an epoch-making alchemical objectβthis is the outside world assessment that Philip relays to Donn.
According to Philip, he bought the washing machine at an auction house in Brando, and that was the one at the time. Later, merchant groups continued to transport this thing, and soon almost all the wealthy families in the city had such a one. The difference is that Volkswagen uses a cheaper version, which is not so refined in appearance and does not have a dehydration function. The aristocratic ones are made of precious materials and can be quickly dehydrated.
This washing machine has almost become synonymous with fashion in the imperial capital during that time, and if any nobleman does not have it, they are embarrassed to go to the party, because the conversation is also about this thing.
So soon, the source of this washing machine was also revealed. It is said to have been invented by a merchant group called Yatang in a small city in the south. Because of this, the merchant group quickly accumulated wealth and became one of the well-known merchant groups in the country.
Of course, the bustle of the station also alarmed Luosha and them, who had just come out of the tent, and everyone was not only amazed by this thing. Philip was also thanked by Josia, who had been in a state of madness for almost the whole afternoon.
That arrogant appearance made David and them mutter, whether to find a time, and pull this guy into a sack in a remote corner to cool down......
The freshness of the gray army and the people of the washing machine did not pass so quickly, and in the next few days, almost all the rumors in the station were about this topic. Until noon one day, the washing machine made an abnormal screeching sound, and then stopped spinning completely.
The aunt who was using it was frightened by the movement. Philip, who arrived later, checked it a little and reluctantly announced that the washing machine was broken.
Of course, the washing machine will not be damaged so easily, not to mention that Philip is still a high-end product. But no matter how advanced it is, it can't be used endlessly, you must know that in the past few days, the people of the Gray Army have hardly stopped the washing machine from spinning.
To the delight of the crowd, the washing machine was towed away by a carriage called by Philip, and it was said that the high-end goods had several opportunities to be repaired for free.
It's been a few quiet days. The gray space team completed the elimination of personnel and officially included 30 team members. Then Don carried out non-stop training and pulled the thirty people into the wilderness outside the station, so the gray-clothed people could always hear the infiltrating howls from a distance from time to time, needless to say, Don's image was blackened again......
Luosha's negotiations are also going on with difficulty, food and other things are easy to determine, cotton wool and cloth are also easy to negotiate, but this armor weapon is very sensitive. As a result, the process has been extremely slow.
But all this can't stop a new topic from arising, and that is Josia and Borg.
At first, it seemed that someone overheard the old nobles muttering that without these two people, the negotiation would have reduced the loss by at least a small half. After the rumors gradually spread, the loss was reduced by a small half. Half of it, then half of it......
The rumors are becoming more and more exaggerated, and the names of Josia and Borg are becoming more and more important in the hearts of the people in gray.
Arrived at Zuihou. It seems that this negotiation is a confrontation between Josia and Borg and the old aristocrats. Of course, this is not the case, but Losha and they are collectively silent, even when Losha is chatting with people. is still praising the two of them.
After that, as if there was an invisible big hand manipulating, the rumors about these two people became more and more numerous, and the bright spots of any negotiation were quickly spread and then amplified......
The twin stars of the Gray Army, I don't know who was the first to call it, but it quickly spread among the people.
Among them, Josia has the most praise and her rumors are also the most widespread. What strongly interrupts the other party to delay, sharply points out the pitfalls, etc. Coupled with her original good image, it didn't take long for Josia to have a separate title - Little Losha!
Luo Sha has the highest status in the hearts of the people of the Gray Army, whether it is the courage to stand up when the Gray Army was on the verge of disbandment at the beginning, or the successful breakthrough of everyone in every encirclement and suppression later...... This made everyone have a clear thought in their hearts, no one in the Gray Army can do it, but it can't be without Luosha!
Now Josia has been awarded the title of "Little Losha", which is undoubtedly a high evaluation and honor.
It can be said that as the negotiation time continues to lengthen, the reputation of the two Josia is gradually growing.
However, Josia didn't feel much about it, she was now worried about the progress of the negotiation of armor weapons and military equipment all day long, and she didn't have the time and energy to pay attention to these things, but occasionally surprised how everyone looked at her more and more strangely......
Josia once took the time to ask Don about it, but Don didn't have any good ideas about this, these armaments were taboo, that is, when the nobles raised private soldiers, they kept them secret.
However, the stalemate did not last long, and was soon perfectly resolved by a small concession by the aristocratic negotiating group. Of course, this is not because the other party can't withstand the pressure, but because one person has come to the legion camp......
............
At night, the legion camp in the large tent of the army.
Ralph, Barlow, and Gehry are once again together.
"General Gehry, how are today's negotiations?" asked Barlow lazily as soon as he came in and sat down.
The three generals took turns to take the old nobles to the Gray Army garrison every day, and today it was Gehry's turn. They don't have the right to participate in negotiations, so they simply bring people over every day, and then sit in silence and watch the two sides fight each other.
"It's still the same!" Gary said with drooping eyelids and a flat tone, but because he was naturally gloomy, he seemed to be gloomy when he said this, "Those gray-clothed soldiers are so bold that they dare to ask for so many weapons and equipment. β
"What can I do? After all, they have hostages. Barlow changed his position and reclined in his seat, looking very unmotivated, "I'm fed up with this bird's day, and I feel like my bones are going to rust." β
Both Ralph and Gary nodded their heads, as if agreeing with Barlow's words.
Originally, they were all elite troops of their respective legions, and they were on the border. Because of the small sneak attacks of the northern barbarians from time to time, there are battles almost every day. But now that he has fallen into such an embarrassing situation, he is naturally very tasteless.
"By the way, have you noticed that there is a small team of gray soldiers recently, who often train in the field. After a moment of silence, Barlow suddenly said.
Gary frowned, "It's the group of people who run outside the camp every morning." β
"Yes, that's them!" Barlow nodded. Leaning forward, he finally showed some vitality, "Don't say it, I have observed it a little, and their daily training is quite interesting." β
These people are all battlefield generals, and their eyesight is naturally smart. Even if he couldn't fully understand Donn's set, he still keenly felt that the other party's training was a bit of a doorway.
"They're amazing!" Ralph commented.
Barlow nodded: "Of course, after all, they caught those noble boys and passed through our tens of thousands of soldiers." β
"Not this!" Ralph shook his head.
"Huh?" Barlow and Gary turned their heads at the same time. Ralph looked at him suspiciously. The latter fell silent at this time, as if to consider what to say.
This facial paralysis ...... Barlow and the others couldn't help but sneer, and set their eyes on the lieutenant behind Ralph.
"Ahem, that's right. The middle-aged lieutenant saluted briefly and continued. "When the scouts of our legion were routinely inspecting the surroundings, they spotted a small group of gray-clad troops, climbing with their bare hands on the southern mountain wall. Well, it's like a race. It's about a group of five people, and the height of the climb is about 100 meters!"
"The mountain wall to the south...... Can you climb?" Barlow and Gehry were shocked, of course they knew what was going on over there. It can be said that the mountain wall is straight up and straight down, like a mirror. Climbing on top of this is self-evidently difficult.
According to the scouts, he saw a man who seemed to be giving a demonstration, and it took him a very short time to climb up. Well, he didn't use his fighting spirit, and he didn't use any longitudinal methods. It is to rely on the slightly protruding places of the mountain and climb up step by step. β
"This ......," Barlow and Gai Li looked at each other, and then the former said, "I think they're training scouts, so they're from the Gray Army Scouts?"
The middle-aged lieutenant general shook his head: "Not only that, our scouts also found that there are some humanoid targets at that height, and after they climb to that height, they not only need to stabilize their bodies, but also need to stab at that target with a swift knife!"
"Uh......" Barlow touched his chin, "you say that, it's like a raider." But with such a small number of people, can they form combat effectiveness?"
As a general, Barlow saw the problem at a glance. In army combat, sending troops to attack is considered a normal tactic, and each legion has light cavalry and other troops dedicated to this aspect. But these teams are all formed without exception, and at least there must be a large team size in order to achieve the effect. If it's just a few dozen people, even if the attack is successful, what's the difference between fighting and itching through the boots?
"Yes!" Ralph said suddenly, "they have captured the hostages. β
Barlow was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's an accident, huh......"
Speaking of this, Barlow suddenly frowned, "General Ralph is saying that their group of people is specially used to appear in key places in the battle situation and then deliver a fatal blow. Hmm, let's say the assassination of the main general?"
Ralph nodded slightly.
"This ...... This is a bit of a matter of assumption, when will the assassins be able to go to war?" Barlow smiled a little dumbly, and Gary on the side also pouted in disapproval.
It's no wonder that the two of them looked a little picky, in them, or basically in the minds of all the leading generals, a war is a confrontation between the two armies, in this general situation, because of a certain person, the local small fluctuations caused by a certain person can be sudden, just as when did you see an ant bite an elephant to death?
Ralph didn't refute either, and was habitually silent.
"And then, what did the group do?" asked Barlow with interest.
"Ahem......" The middle-aged lieutenant general's face was a little embarrassed: "Later, our scouts were discovered and driven away. β
β......β
Barloyue Geri opened his mouth wide, his eyes round, "What?"
Of course, they knew the combat effectiveness of the scouts of the Zichen Legion, which was at the head of all the legions, and it was already shocking enough to be found lurking, and they were driven away...... Although this deputy general said it lightly, both of them could think of what happened at that time, the scouts of the Zichen Legion were certainly not soft eggs, the two sides must have fought each other, and the result was that the Zichen Legion was defeated......
"Phew......" Barlow came back to his senses and let out a long sigh, "The Grey Army can't be underestimated, it's really difficult to destroy them under the same conditions." β
Gary was a little touched when he heard this, and was about to nod, suddenly,
"Hehe, the Gray Army can't be eliminated by relying on the army. A slightly hoarse, magnetic voice came from outside the tent.
At this time, Ralph and the lieutenant general were both stunned, as if they couldn't believe it.
The curtain moved slightly, and a purple figure walked in.
"Marshal!"
"Marshal Ziyi!"
......
Several people in the tent screamed, and then hurriedly stood up and gave the most standard military salute.
"Hehe, don't be so excited. Actually, I came with bad news. Well, yesterday, the Northern Wilderness tribe officially attacked the border!" )
