Chapter Seventy-Nine: Taking Office
A ring of fences, fifty tents, a warehouse, two thatched huts, and a group of soldiers with crooked armor were all that the monkey had as the new commander.
As the monkeys were greeted in a procession, he even saw a tall, thin horse spirit hunched over and dozing off with half-squinted eyes.
The Lizard Spirit is the right-hand man of the Crocodile Spirit, and although his army is not elite, it is at least the regular army of the Lion Camel Country.
This thing has only been seen by monkeys on the battlefield before. When I look at it from a distance, I feel that the regular army is particularly majestic. After all, other people's armor is a unified system, their own is bamboo armor, and other people's weapons are serious, and they are in their own hands...... Sometimes you can't even get a stick.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of things in this world do not stand up to scrutiny.
On crutches, the monkey staggered through the queue with the support of the white frost, only to feel that this group of soldiers was really too much worse than he imagined at the beginning.
One by one listless, some are sleepy, and some are deserting...... If you really want to talk about it, there are still a dozen of them who are in good spirits, and the armor they wear is better than that of other soldiers, but at this moment, they all seem to have two big words written on their faces - "fear".
The pitiful little eyes made the monkey's brows furrow.
After a while, the monkey remembered that he was not only an official, but also an official. In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are also petty officers such as captains and centurions. And their former "boss" happened to be killed by his own hands.
In this case, they are understandably afraid of themselves.
"There were four hundred and eighty-two soldiers, of whom five were centurions, fifty were captains, five hundred and two pairs of armor, and eight hundred and ninety-nine weapons. In addition, there are a number of military rations, a number of riding equipment, and a number of emergency pills......"
After reading for a long time, the scribe who counted the points finally finished reading, spread the small book in front of the monkey, and said with a smile: "Lord Dutong, if there are no mistakes or omissions, please sign it." The small ones are also good to go back to the errand. ”
Sighing lightly, the monkey took the pen handed over and was about to sign it, when Da Hong on the side hurriedly said, "Slow!"
For a moment, all eyes converged on him.
"That ......" only to hear him say hesitantly: "Isn't it that there is no order yet, wouldn't it be good to sign it like this?"
The scribe said impatiently, "I've just ordered it." ”
"Who ordered it?"
"You ordered it yourself. ”
On the side, a hyena spirit cautiously raised its hand. Looking at the outfit, it should be a centurion, and he should be cultivated in the god realm.
"I ...... I ordered it. ”
Seeing this, Dahong immediately patted his chest and said, "You don't count, I want to order it again!"
When he said this, the scribe suddenly became a little angry, and shouted: "Which green onion are you? You didn't even speak, so it's your turn?"
"I ...... I'm a military advisor!"
When he said this, the scribe immediately laughed: "Military ...... How many of you are there, and how many of you are there?"
The soldiers present were also amused, but they didn't dare to laugh.
Da Hong's eyes widened with anger, and he pulled the monkey and said, "You, tell them, am I your military advisor?"
"You ......"
Before the monkey could finish speaking, Dahong immediately added: "Don't regret it, what you said yourself, I was your military advisor!"
Helpless, the monkey had no choice but to say weakly: "Yes, he is my military advisor, let's order it again." ”
"Did you hear it! Did you hear it!" the big red tone immediately rose up.
There was no way, the scribe had to flick his sleeves, stretched his voice and said angrily: "Okay, just order." ”
Pulling a large group of little demons, Da Hong followed the scribe to order something.
The queue was dismissed, and the monkey limped into his tent with White Frost and the remaining demons.
The tent with a diameter of four zhang is not big or small, but it is actually not small. A low wooden table, several animal skin stools, and additional shelves for armor and weapons, screens, and couches. In general, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.
Limping to the main seat, the monkey finally sat down crookedly with the support of the white frost, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Although he has a good physique, although the pill of crocodile essence is also very effective, but it only works, and it is not a golden pill, how can he completely recover overnight?
Now he is in pain when he moves casually. Evenly, the spirit is not very good.
"Sit down, don't stand. ”
"Huh. ”
The bull's head, black tail, and fat intestine all shrank down on the animal skin stool, and a pair of eyes looked around excitedly, smiling.
Slowly, the monkey laughed too.
It's all in plain sight, and a few little demons just looked at each other and laughed together.
Originally, I was afraid that the crocodile spirit was scared to death, and it was too late to hide, but when I was captured, everyone was mentally prepared for death, who would have thought that in the end, there would be such a flip?
Not only did they not die, but they also became regular soldiers from minced meat. For this group of little demons, it can be regarded as getting ahead.
Just as the demons were overjoyed, a voice came from outside the door.
"Is Totong-sama here?"
The monkey craned its neck.
The demons glanced at each other, and Blacktail got up and walked to the door and opened the tent.
I saw five monsters standing outside the door, pheasants, foxes, hedgehogs, antelopes, hyenas, exactly five, looking at the costumes, it should be the five centurions under the monkey.
The led hyena smiled flatteringly: "A few of us, I want to meet Lord Dutong, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"
The tent itself is not large, and what is said outside the tent can be heard clearly in the tent.
Hearing this, the monkey stretched out his voice and said, "Come in." ”
Soon, the five centurions all entered the camp tent, bowed to the monkey in unison, and said, "Small, see Lord Tutong." ”
"Sit down. ”
"Lord Xie Dutong. ”
As the monkey stretched out his hand and pointed, the bull's head, black tail, and white frost quickly willingly gave up their position and stood aside.
Glancing at the others, the leader of the hyena spirit smiled and said cautiously: "Lord Dutong, the things in this tent have been exchanged by a few people, you can use them with confidence." ”
"Oh?"
"And this. As he spoke, the hyena spirit took out a small box from his waist, put it on the table with both hands, and said, "I heard that Lord Dutong has not recovered from his serious injuries, this ...... It's a little bit of affection from the brothers, and it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift to Lord Metropolitan Commander for your new official taking office. ”
With that, several centurions laughed, a little distorted, a little embarrassed.
Probably the monkeys now say that the sun is square, and they will not hesitate to agree. The flattery, like a few girls, is completely without the kind of flying and domineering that the demon army usually has.
The original Dutong lizard spirit is still cold.
However, this is also the reality of the demon army.
The monkey reached for the box, opened it, and sniffed it gently.
The best elixir is right. After all, it's not a crocodile essence, and in terms of the centurion's military salary, just such an elixir can be regarded as a hemorrhage for them.
Closing the lid, the monkey whispered, "Thank you, brothers." ”
"It should be, it should be. The hyena spirit said quickly.
"However, I'm new to my new position, and I don't have anything to give back. ”
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" Hearing this, the centurions hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands.
"Okay, I'll take it. With that, the monkey handed the box to the white frost.
A moment of silence ensued. The centurions were a little embarrassed by the silence, and had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.
"What are they doing here?" the black tail rolled his eyes, and the demons looked at each other one by one.
The monkey sat weakly, his eyelids constantly fighting, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
The first day of the new official's appointment passed without any danger. Except for Da Hong, who wants to care because two of the assigned swords are one inch shorter than the other swords, it can be said that it is too peaceful.
The monkey was injured and could not lift his spirits, so he could only lie down in the camp to recuperate.
White Frost was single-mindedly focused on taking care of the monkeys, like a personal maid.
Although the bull head said that his cultivation was low, he had seen the world in the three-star cave of the slanting moon, and took the initiative to take on the task of the head of the sect, and began to teach those little soldiers who only had the condensing realm to practice.
As he wished, he was assigned the task of a man, and one person was responsible for the food of five hundred people, and indirectly, he was responsible for the main loss of the camp.
Da Hong counted the accounts day and night, wishing that every stone in the camp was recorded.
Blacktail...... The monkey didn't know what he was doing, and seemed to be busy, but it didn't seem to be doing anything.
The monkey has not recovered from his serious injuries, and the whole camp is only in order, and I have to say that it is thanks to such a group of brothers. This was very pleasing to the monkeys.
As for the centurions, seeing that the monkey didn't mean to let them move their seats to their cronies, they were also a lot more relieved, and naturally they didn't dare to make a mistake.
And so, three days passed.
On the night of the third day, a herald hurried into the camp.
"The general has an order, prepare before the time is right, assemble when the time is ugly, and then set out on the march! There must be no mistake!" This "general" naturally refers to the crocodile spirit, the top boss of the monkey.
Before the words fell, the horn had sounded, earth-shattering.
The monkey clearly felt the agitation of the camp around him. Shouts, footsteps, armor were heard. Even the battleships docked on the mountainside had already raised their sails.
Countless torches were lit, illuminating almost the entire territory of the Lion Camel Nation.
Obviously, I was not the only one who received the order.
Pouring out of the nest?
After a slight hesitation, the monkey held the document delivered by the herald demon soldier and asked softly, "Did you say it...... Who's going to hit someone?"
"Yang Jian. The demon soldier replied without thinking.
