Cons and his team rushed to the bottom of the mountain with a rush, because a brigade of soldiers had already been sent to check it out. Seeing Cons, the soldiers of the brigade did not charge forward, nor retreat backward. Instead, they stopped on the spot and set up a defensive formation halfway.

In order not to cause misunderstandings, Cons and Okol ordered a slow step forward at the same time. In this way, they slowly came outside the range of the large group of soldiers' bows and arrows.

When Okor saw Cons noticing the soldiers, he couldn't help but say, "Although the captain of the corps is an old antique, he does have a set of troops. Other brigades are not clear about it, but in our 5th brigade, the combat power of the 5th brigade is the strongest in the entire brigade."

"Well, you can see that if you don't count equipment, the soldiers' aura has surpassed that of the regular legion." Cons nodded and said.

Cons, who was born in a regular army and served in a local army, could see the difference between local troops and regular troops at a glance. Although the soldiers in front of him were wearing old military uniforms and their weapons were a bit shabby, their momentum was extremely intimidating.

Just seeing that they only have about 600 people, but they can gain a foothold in front of four or five hundred rumbling war horses, you can know.

Seeing Okol's appearance, a middle-aged major in the defensive formation team frowned and stepped forward and shouted, "Major Okol, who is around you?"

"Major Veron, don't be so nervous. This is Major Cons, the staff officer who has just arrived at our wing today."

After Okor answered loudly, he immediately whispered to Cons: "This Major Veron is the confidant of our corps captain. It is said that he followed the corps captain when he was a teenager, but he was also implicated by the corps captain. He has been entitled to the corps captain for at least ten or twenty years."

"Many of the officers in the wing are confidants of the wing captain?" Cons asked inadvertently. At this moment, they were all standing aside under Okor's leadership.

Okor's eyes flashed, and then he said helplessly: "There is no way. He has led the Fifth Regiment for decades. The officers of the entire regiment were his confidants, otherwise he would have been out of the way.

"It can also be said that the Fifth Regiment was firmly controlled by him. Apart from rebellion, these thousands of people could do whatever they wanted with the command of the captain of the regiment. So, we will have a hard time going forward."

Kons smiled and said nothing, and looked quietly at Major Villon with a strong face.

After hearing Okol's introduction, Major Veron glanced at Cons. Seeing Cons' young appearance and a group of personal guards, especially when he saw Xiang Wen, the beauty standing beside Cons, he couldn't help but frown, and his first impression of Cons immediately became bad.

"Please show your proof." Major Veron said coldly. Seeing that the soldiers behind him were still on guard, he knew what he was thinking.

When Okol heard this, his face was immediately red with anger. Isn’t this obvious that Okol’s words cannot be used as proof?

Cons didn't feel anything angry, so he took out the file, saluted and handed it over.

Seeing Cons saluted, Major Veron subconsciously returned the gift and took the document.

After reading the files, Major Veron returned a gift again: "Welcome, Major Cons." He handed over the file and pointed directly at Xiangwen without waiting for Cons to reply to his compliment and said, "I don't know who this person is Major Cons? You must know that there are no female members in the army."

As soon as this was said, the people on Okor thought that Major Veron's words were slapped in the face. Although there were such regulations in the army, no powerful people did not bring the maids as soldiers and brought them by their side. Such a common thing was said casually. If it was not intentionally made things difficult, what could it be?

Cons smiled, without saying anything, but just gave Xiangwen a wink.

Xiangwen took a step forward with a tense face, bowed and said, "Major Cons's personal guard Xiangwen has met the superior." As he said that, he also handed over the military certificate.

Veron took the certificate in surprise, and after careful examination, he glanced at Cons with a look of contempt and said, "It's really amazing. Even the military certificates of the personal guards were issued by the imperial capital."

Hearing this, Cons did not react, while Major Veron's soldiers looked contemptuous, while Okor's eyes were flashing.

After saying this, Veron threw the card back to Xiangwen, waved back and shouted, "The alert is lifted, line back to the city." He ignored the expressions of the crowd and left with the troops.

Okor smiled and said, "How about it, do you know what the status of us outsiders in the Fifth United? This Veron is quite polite, and the others are even more unbearable. They can almost get angry to death. Anyway, we can only be human with our tails in our hands."

Cons did not react, just nodded, then turned over and headed towards the city with his men and followed Major Veron's team behind him.

When approaching the city gate, you can see a group of soldiers gathering around the city gate. Major Veron took several lieutenants to salute an old man with the rank of colonel in the middle of the crowd, and then moved forward while whispering to the old man while pointing at Cons.

Okor stepped forward and said, "That old man is the number one in the Fifth United Army, our immediate boss, Colonel Longi. Although he is weak, it is said that a thirty-pound standard sword will sound and can even go into battle to kill the enemy!

"But this is also said that what I really said is that this matter is lingering. It's okay to have a big knife, but it's too exaggerated to go into battle. After all, they are all in their sixties. What kind of enemies can they go into battle to kill? Going home and holding grandson is the main thing."

Cons glanced at Okol, wouldn't this major be so ignorant?

The strong smell of blood on the captain's body could be smelled from such a distance. Judging from the smell on his body, it is possible to charge into battle.

But it's strange, why are there so many people present, and only the captain of the regiment has blood and energy? The rest of the regiment army are just strong and fierce, and the fighting spirit is like this. Could it be that others are just small-scale fights and have never participated in a tragic battle, right?

Okor didn't care that Cons didn't answer, and continued, "Come on a few steps before dismounting and signing up for a salute. This old guy is not respectful or offensive, and it is difficult to serve." As he said that, he rode his horse and trotted.

When he arrived about ten steps, Cons and others had already seen the appearance of the No. 5th United. This was an old man with white eyebrows, wrinkles on his face, hunched back, and a thin body. If it weren't for his still bright eyes, everyone would have regarded him as a farmer.

Cons and Okor dismounted and joined the team and signed up to salute the old man with their personal guards.

Colonel Longi waved his hand: "No gift, the wing has no chief of staff yet. You two staff members will follow me for the time being. Judging from your appearance, it is okay to go into battle to kill the enemy, right?"

Hearing this, Cons nodded indifferently.

Okor was shocked and scolded in his heart, "Damn it! Why is it so easy to talk about this time? If I had said that at the beginning, would I still have to go to the brigade headquarters to be my grandson? Could it be for the sake of this Cons again?"

However, although Okor thought so, he nodded and agreed immediately. In his opinion, the merits were made by one sword and one shot on the battlefield, and it was really boring to just be a staff officer. His view on the position of staff officer was the same as the old man.

Xiangwen, who was following behind Cons, found that the old man's eyes were not on Cons and Okol at all. Instead, he kept scanning the guards back and forth, especially when he saw the war horses on his side, his eyes emitted a terrifying light, as if he was going to swallow these war horses.

Seeing that Cons and Okor agreed, Colonel Longi did not make much politeness, turned his head and walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

The soldiers present shouted at the officers: "The alarm was lifted!" and then the officers dispersed, leaving only a middle-aged officer with a rank of lieutenant colonel and a smile on his face, calling Cons and others to go to the base.

The city is not spacious. Although the roads and surrounding houses are not considered dilapidated, they are also dilapidated. You can tell at a glance that these buildings and facilities have not been repaired for many years, so it is impossible to believe that this place is also a direct jurisdiction of the empire.

At this moment, the streets are crowded. Apart from occasionally meeting a few trembling people, there are no ones. When I looked at the houses on both sides of the road, I also found countless figures poking their heads and minds in the houses.

It seems that although the army issued a signal of alarm lifting, the people were still hesitant. From this point of view, we know that the Fifth Regiment did not gain the hearts of the people in the city they were stationed.

Cons's perception did not tell the lieutenant colonel who led the way. After all, he was indifferent, not a straightforward personality with a single intestine, and he would not say anything to others. Cons dared to conclude that as long as he said this, he would definitely be isolated by the entire Fifth United.

The Lieutenant Colonel brought Cons and others to the center of the city, pointed to a broken building and said, "This place is good. Although it is a little old, it is very spacious, with many houses. There is also a small schoolyard, which is enough for you all to settle down."

Okor, who had not thought about it, was startled when he heard this: "School! Sir, what department does this building originally belong to?"

The lieutenant colonel said, "It is the residence of the county chief."

Okor was surprised: "What! Sir, this is not a good thing? After all, this is the residence of the county governor. If we stay in, the new county governor takes office, wouldn't it be ugly?"

The lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "Don't worry, the county governor of our Wenjin County has been vacant for more than ten years, and there are endless bandits, so no one will be the county governor. Even if you live there, if you feel it is dilapidated and want to repair it, you have to pay it out of your own pocket. After all, our unit is poor, so you can just do it.

"Over the other side is the wing headquarters. All of us officers live nearby. Apart from this, there is no place to settle so many of you."

Hearing the lieutenant colonel say this, Okol turned his head and looked at Cons. Seeing Cons's disregard for his face, he didn't know what he thought of, so he stopped saying a word and accepted it.

When the lieutenant colonel saw that no one objected, he smiled: "Okay, our direct military officers in the wing are very leisurely. As long as there is no order, they are free to move. However, it is best not to leave the city without taking leave.

"Also, our direct military officers from the corps are all owned. You can ask a few kids on the street to help us. Our salary is low, and we can make sure we have to pay for food and accommodation. If we don't pay, we will be very busy. Well, that's it." After the lieutenant colonel said that, he left the stunned Cons and others and settled in a casual manner.

Wei Jie stared at Xiangwen and said, "Sister, what did the lieutenant colonel say? He actually let us start a group by ourselves? No? We are regular soldiers!"

Xiangwen did not answer, but asked Okol: "Sir Okol, was this treatment when you took office in the Fifth United?"

Okor shook his head with a wry smile: "It's even worse. When I first took office, I went to the city to report to the old man. On the way, I was scolded by the old man's confidant who was the commander of the military police, saying that I led my troops and rode horses and swaggered across the city, which would damage the military's power.

"When I got off the horse and walked to the wing headquarters, the old man coldly told the Fifth Regiment that there was no chief of staff and there was no vacancy to arrange me. I was asked to either wait quietly for the Chief of Staff to arrive or find a way out, which made me run back to my territory in shame. If he had arranged me as a direct officer at the beginning, I would not have gone to the brigade headquarters to complain."

Xiang Wen frowned: "It seems that the old man is really ill-behaved, because I found that when I was present at the city gate, the old man's eyes were focused on us, the war horses, and he didn't notice us at all, as if he had completely ignored us."

Hearing this, Okore felt bitter in his heart. Is this the difference between more than 30 inferior horses and more than 400 excellent war horses?

But he quickly woke up and said in confusion: "This is impossible. The old man is interested in our war horses? Not to mention that these war horses are within our personal guards, even the Marshal has no right to mobilize them. It would be useless to voluntarily give the war horses to the old man. Is that the old man going to form a cavalry team in this mountain forest?

"The cavalry and the bandits are fighting each other to die! That old man wouldn't not understand this fact, right?"

"The Lord Palace is responsible for all the costs of the personal guards, so it is normal to start a group by themselves." Cons suddenly said this, which stunned everyone present.

Xiang Wen and others then remembered that they were in the Imperial Army. According to the Imperial Military Rules, they were confused by the period when they were flying across the peninsula. Thinking of this, Xiang Wen stuck out his tongue and Wei Jie patted his head.

There is nothing else to say on Okor. People who know the situation envy Cons' wealth, because although the military rules stipulate that, who can have the lead of the personal guards, who does not count the cost of the personal guards into the team's expenses? After all, there are few idiots who will use their own salary to support the personal guards, and the country's advantage will not be taken away.

When they entered the mansion of the former county governor, everyone was surprised to find that the place was ridiculously large. It was divided into three courtyards in the outer, middle and inner courtyards. The outer courtyard was a schoolyard that was enough to accommodate thousands of people. There were rows of stables and weapons racks placed in the open air. However, most of them were rotten, and the ground of the schoolyard was covered with grass.

The intermediate courtyard has dozens of row houses. Judging from the structure inside, it is lived by the servants. If you look at the beds, it is no problem to settle one or two thousand people.

The inner courtyard is exaggerated. A huge house that is dilapidated but still imposing is standing in the center. Behind is a large garden with dozens of lush branches and leaves, a large garden with overgrown weeds on the ground, and a large but dry pond.
