A thousand people are neatly arranged in the middle of the barracks, and on their sides are tall and majestic war horses. With the integration of the military camp, the 100 centaurs on the first floor have been integrated into the 900 centaurs on the second floor, all of them are dressed in black armor, and the demon mask covers their faces, forming a phalanx of 1,000 people.

Chen Mo really didn't expect the second layer to give him such a big surprise, not only did the number of people expand from one hundred to one thousand, but his strength was also promoted from the acquired ninefold to the congenital realm, and he was led by a grandmaster, this surprise was really too big.

Looking at the people and horses in front of him, a sense of pride rushed straight to his head, at this moment, Chen Mo only felt that the world was so big, and there was no place to go.

"Meet the Realm Lord!"

The shouting pulled back Chen Mo's floating thoughts and interrupted his conjecture.

Taking a deep breath and calming down the abnormal heartbeat, Chen Mo spoke: "Get up!"

"No!"

Chen Mo beckoned to the first person, this is the commander of the thousand to beckon in front of him, and ordered the others to move separately. Asked the same question as the centurion on the first floor. "Do you have a name?"

The commander replied respectfully: "The last general is not qualified to have a name, and in the dead world, only a general is qualified to have a name." One One Two One, the commander of the first army in terms of strength, this is the code name of the last general. When the Realm Lord masters the third layer, the last general will be upgraded to 1131 until the original code name is restored, 1191.

Commanders below are not even eligible to have a code name. Because of the Death Realm Campaign, the minimum unit is 1,000 people. ”

Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect to get so much information from one question.

One hundred and ninety-one, it proves that there are at least nine layers in the dead realm. The strongest commander in the first army is called one one two one, and the three layers are one one three one, which proves that two and three have nine to represent the number of layers, and the first two numbers are worth playing.

Most plausibly, the first number represents the first legion. If it is tentatively decided that the First Legion has ninety-nine thousand-commanders, and after they master the ninth layer, then the first thousand-commander of the First Legion will be 1191, and the last thousand-commander will be 1991.

As for what the situation was, Chen Mo couldn't understand the specific facts with the available information, and these were all based on his own imagination. But it's good for you anyway, isn't it?

Good fellow, if that's what you think, that's great. This is the second layer is the strength of the innate and backward realm, if it reaches the ninth layer, what kind of realm will it be? What will it be like when the first legion is completely mastered! With Chen Mo's limited knowledge, he couldn't think of that kind of situation at all.

At this moment, Chen Mo couldn't wait to advance to the innate and explore the appearance of the third layer.

"Get ready, I'll be using you soon!" Chen Mo thought that he would take over the position of city lord tomorrow, according to the known intelligence, Phantom Moon City was not the only one of the Chen family, and some people were not so honest that they would not watch him sit in the position of the city lord safely.

The eyes behind the mask of the commander one by one burst with infinite murderous intent, and cold words came out. "Anyone who is an enemy of the Realm Lord will be crushed by the army of the Dead Realm, and there is no way to spare. ”

"Okay!" Chen Mo was also excited after hearing this, but after experiencing a lot, he was already able to control his emotions. He also commanded 1121: "Don't call me the lord of the realm in the outside world, just call me son." ”

"No!"

......

After a good night's sleep, after coming out of the dead world, Chen Mo directly entered the dream, until the sky was bright.

After washing, I went directly to my grandfather's courtyard to pay a visit. The old man had already gotten up, and he was very happy to see Chen Mo coming to visit, and pulled him to have breakfast together. Chen Mo doesn't care, it's not easy to find someone who is true to him in today's world. Undoubtedly, grandfather is one.

When he walked out of Chen's mansion, it was already close to noon, and his grandfather's enthusiasm was too high, so he pulled Chen Mo and chatted all the time. Chen Mo didn't like the old man's enthusiasm, so he could only accompany him and keep chatting. Until the patriarch heard about it, he came to rescue Chen Mo.

"Let's go, go to the City Lord's Mansion!" Chen Mo waved his hand to greet everyone, and a group of sixteen people and sixteen horses rushed to the City Lord's Mansion. If you want to ask Chen Mo why he can ride a horse, then you have to talk about his current strength.

The day after tomorrow is fivefold, and it can easily send out more than 400 catties of strength, and the full strength can reach more than 500 catties. Although the good horse under the crotch is extraordinary, it is only a mortal thing in the end, and it has to surrender under the strength of more than three hundred catties. As a result, riding skills are already dispensable in a normal hurry.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the very center of Phantom Moon City, and it is not difficult to find. Because four avenues with a width of ten meters were built from the Castle Lord's Mansion to the four gates, as long as you found any avenue, you could reach the Castle Lord's Mansion.

In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Mo and his party were stopped by the soldiers guarding them. Although these dozen or so people looked hard to mess with, and they were riding horses, the unfamiliar faces made the soldiers on guard very nervous. Even if they are frightened, they have to come forward to stop it, otherwise once something happens, they will be to blame.

Chen Mogao sat on the horse, and did not play the set of "micro-service private interview, corporal Lixian, pretending to be a cat and eating a tiger". took out the official confession document and said loudly: "I am Chen Mo, the city lord of Phantom Moon City, who was appointed by the emperor. ”

The soldiers on guard looked at each other, at a loss. The captain of the lead took a half step forward, first saluted, and then said, "Please wait a while, let me report later." After speaking, he made a color to the person behind him, and the man turned around and ran to inform the officials and masters in the City Lord's Mansion of the news.

Without letting Chen Mo wait long, a group of people poured out of the City Lord's Mansion. The two of them quickly stepped forward and bowed and bowed, "Meet the city lord." ”

Chen Mo also turned over and dismounted, walked two steps quickly, and came to the front of the first two. Stretched out his hand to help one of them, and said with a smile: "Second uncle is polite, I just took office today, and I need more support from the second uncle in the future." ”

The lord of a city is the absolute first person, of course, you have the ability to control the city. Here are the two of them, the master and the general. The main book is in charge of the rise and fall of money, food, household registration, and officials in the territory, and these three main books alone can reach out to any place.

Money and food are the foundation of all people's lives, and it is difficult to say about population. In general, if any organization is made up of people, then the master book naturally has a reason and the right to mix in. To put it mildly, whether you are a commoner, a city gate guard, or an army, you are a human after all, right? If you are a human being, then I have the right to have some intimate communication with you. Not to mention holding the weapon of promotion.

Therefore, in addition to the position of the city lord, the most fierce competition in each city is the position of the main book.

Then there is the general, who is nominally in charge of all the armed forces in the city and is only responsible to the lord of the city, of course, this is a situation in which the emperor does not interfere.

Hong Xuyan, the general of Phantom Moon City, controls half of the army, and the remaining half of the army is controlled by the strength of each family. It can be seen that his status in Phantom Moon City is a proper big man.

But Chen Mo just pulled the master bookkeeper Chen Chong into the City Lord's Mansion and turned a blind eye to this overlord-like general.

Chen Chong smiled bitterly, and secretly said Young man! I don't know how to communicate with people at all! I had to remind in a whisper: "Xiao Mo, Hong Xuyan is a general, and he has a high position, so he can't be neglected!"

Chen Mo smiled when he heard this, and replied in a low voice: "Second uncle, don't worry, I know how powerful it is." ”

Not to mention the whispers of the two, Hong Xuyan was extremely angry in his heart. The other party dared to ignore himself like this, even with his city, the expression of anger was not shown on his face.

He was no longer pretentious, he straightened his waist and looked at Chen Mo's back with gloomy eyes, not knowing what to think in his heart, which made his face change.

Sitting on the throne of the city lord, there are more than a dozen officials standing below, this is the highest authority in the entire Phantom Moon City.

Before coming, Chen Mo had already thought about his next actions, and spoke directly without hesitation: "I was ordered by the emperor to take over as the city lord, and since I am the city lord of any party, I should do my best to ensure the safety of the party and lead everyone to work hard." ”

Looking at everyone's disapproving looks, Chen Mo didn't care, and continued: "Second uncle, tell me about the situation in Phantom Moon City. ”

Chen Chong replied when he heard this: "At present, Phantom Moon City has three towns and one hundred and thirty-five villages, with a total population of more than 13 million. As for money and food, there is an abundance of food at present, and even if there is a natural disaster, there is no grain income, which is enough for everyone to have more than a year. However, the money is relatively small, only 500,000 taels of silver remained, barely enough to collect taxes at the beginning of the next year. ”

Speaking of taxes, this world is also relatively special, that is, once in half a year, twice a year.

It is said that Phantom Moon City has a population of more than 10 million, and the annual tax revenue is more than 30 million taels of silver, even if it is handed over to the emperor 10 million taels, there are still 20 million left. Half a year is 10 million, excluding daily consumption plus military salaries, it will not exceed 7 million taels if you die. Now there are two months left before the Chinese New Year, and there are only 500,000 taels left. If there is nothing greasy in it, he won't believe it.

However, Chen Mo didn't say much, squinted his eyes and continued to ask: "General Hong, report on the situation of the army." ”

Although Hong Xuyan wanted Chen Mo to die immediately, he had to answer in the face of normal questions within the current rules.

"At present, the total strength of Phantom Moon City is 200,000, each of the three towns has 10,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, and the main city has a total of 170,000 soldiers and horses, plus the Huwei battalion of 5,000 people. ”

Chen Mo had a headache, because the army establishment here was too different from the previous life in his memory, like a battalion was in charge of 5,000 soldiers and horses, and a city general could actually control 200,000 troops. Is this still an ordinary general? Is it simply the rhythm of the generalissimo!

Referring to the information that Chen Xianhai gave him yesterday, Chen Mo looked at one of the people below and asked, "Wu County Order, tell me about the details of public security." ”

Speaking of the title of this county order, after seeing the specific description, Chen Mo was no longer able to complain.

The prefectural ordinance here is different from the prefectural ordinance in my memory. The county order is to check and fill in the omissions for the city lord, and is in charge of the people's disputes, vendettas, murders, murders, and so on within the city. In terms of power, among the various cities, the well-deserved four-in-command!

Each city is made up of these four supreme powers, the difference is that some city lords can fully control them, some are only nominal city lords, and some are jointly in charge with the forces behind these positions.
