Chapter 80 Mandala Thieves (Part 2)
Cons, who had never been afraid before, felt scared for the first time.
He knew that he could not escape from the siege of nearly a hundred cavalry! What scared him was not death; it was fear that he could not fulfill Grandpa Anke's wish at all! It didn't matter whether Cons's own life was in danger. What was important was that he was afraid that he could not fulfill the request of his benefactor and grandfather! Continuing Rarenter! Cons was not the one who was waiting to be captured.
Since Wushengwang, let's fight hard! After making a decision, Cons waved his machete, glanced at the knight surrounding him, and began to prepare for the attack.
The front row knights were startled by Cons' murderous aura and movements. If it weren't for strict training, they might have let go of the arrow.
Just at this nervous moment, a majestic and loud voice sounded: "Wait, report our identity and reason to him, and ask him about his identity, and don't kill the innocent by chance."
"Abide by the order!"
A cavalry with a unique military rank and other people in the front row saluted back, then took a step forward and shouted to Cons: "We are the Ultraman Empire Marshal's Guard. We are chasing the Mandala bandits on this trip. Please report your identity."
Hearing this, Cons immediately understood that he had misunderstood and drooped his hand first. Of course, the machete was still in his hand, and then he was neither arrogant nor humble. He subconsciously stood attentively and said, "I am Cons Raylent, a resident of this village."
Although Cons's removal of hostility made the tension a little ease, the cavalry, like Cons, did not completely relax their vigilance, and the weapons were still aimed at Cons vaguely.
The officer raised his eyebrows when he heard Cons' name.
This guy is from a noble family? But there are too many such down-and-out nobles in this place, and they all use their surnames to use them. It's very fake, so I don't care.
“What is proof?”
Cons thought for a while and said, "The people on the ground are my grandfather and younger brother. By the way, five hundred steps north of the entrance of the village, there is a wild boar I just hunted. There is no other proof."
The officers did not expect Cons to come up with any proof.
Most people in the forest use pseudonyms, and it is impossible to find out their true identities. So when the officer heard that the corpse of an old and a young man on the ground was his relative, he was a little suspicious; but when he heard about the prey, he was a little excited.
If there is prey in that place, it proves that Cons did not tell lies and was a resident of this village; if not, then he is a spy from the thieves and should be killed on the spot! Thinking of this, the officer immediately waved his hand and ordered several cavalrymen to investigate and investigate.
Soon, the cavalry returned and carried the big wild boar that Cons had hit back.
Seeing the big wild boar tied and lost its tail, and the pig tail held in Bill's hand, the guards finally breathed a sigh of relief and took back their weapons under the command of the officer.
After the cavalry sent some people to guard the enemy, the others dismounted and began to bury the villagers.
After burying Grandpa Anker and Bill’s brother, Cons was taken to a middle-aged man by the officer he had just asked.
The middle-aged man also wore a tight black military uniform, and the rank on his arms was the size of a silver coin and surrounded by golden leaves.
The officer saluted and said, "Marson Marshal, this is the villagers who killed the wild boar."
Cons was shocked.
Although he didn't know much about the Ultraman Empire, he knew that the Ultraman Empire was one of the best superpowers on these two continents.
Compared with it, Qihongguo is like a newborn baby competing with elite soldiers.
Ultraman is also the only country among so many imperial countries on the continent where the king is not the marshal. It can be said that the middle-aged man in front of him is the first person in the Ultraman Empire military.
This middle-aged man had black hair and dark eyes like Cons. Although his appearance was ordinary, he naturally showed a majestic momentum in his every move.
When the marshal saw Cons, his eyes lit up immediately. His decades of military career allowed him to easily see a person's identity at a glance.
"You have joined the army? And your status is not low?"
When the guard beside the marshal heard this, he immediately pressed the hilt of the knife and stared at Cons vigilantly.
Cons also knew that people who participated in the army and had strictly trained could easily be seen by others; but he didn't understand how the marshal saw that his status was not low?
Without thinking too much, Cons replied directly: "Yes, Mr. Marshal, I have served as the commander of the First Brigade of the First Division of the First Division of the Qihong Kingdom."
"Captain of the First Brigade? How old are you this year?" The marshal was a little moved.
Although Qi Hongguo is a pitiful country in the eyes of the Marshal, the title of "first" has a high status no matter which country the army is in.
The guards present looked at Cons with a little surprised look. They did not doubt Cons was talking nonsense. After all, you can tell the truth by asking about such a thing.
I regard the day I joined the army as my eighteenth birthday. Now it has been more than five years since then? "Twenty-three years old, Mr. Marshal." Cons replied.
"It's good to be the commander of the 5,000 elite troops at the age of 23? But I think that according to your demeanor, you should be a division commander."
As soon as the marshal said this, the guards' eyes all changed when they saw Cons's eyes changed, turning into envy, jealousy, and surprise.
There was no doubt in their eyes.
Because this was said by the marshal himself.
"Marson Marshal has given me a prize." Cons could only answer this way.
Do you want to tell this marshal that he once commanded the 100,000 troops of two legions?
The marshal blinked at Cons and smiled and said, "Haha, although the army numbers of our country and Qihong Kingdom are the same, but the grassroots organization is different. Please explain to him."
The officer who received the order first saluted and obeyed the order, and then explained to Cons: "The empire's organization is a 55th organization, and there is no such organization as a team. Five people are a team, five teams are a team, and five teams are a team, and five teams are a logistics team is a squadron.
"And so on, go up again, there are brigades, brigades, divisions, legions, and then go up again, there are the group army commanded by His Excellency the Marshal, that is, all the troops in the country."
After roughly calculating that there were 80,000 or 90,000 troops in a division, Cons was immediately stunned. He was shocked by the huge organization of the Ultraman Empire! One division is equal to two legions of the Qihong Kingdom? I wonder how many divisions there are in the Ultraman Empire?
The marshal who guessed Cons's idea smiled and said, "Introduce him how many legions our country has and what our country's officers are."
Although the officer wondered why the Marshal introduced his country's troops in such detail to a villager, he still obeyed: "Yes, our country has a total of twenty legions."
When he heard this, Cons was stunned. Twenty legions? Each legion has more than 400,000 people, which is eight million troops, and they are all regular troops! With the addition of reserves and militias, the total force of Qihong Kingdom is not even comparable to that of others! "The Marshal is the supreme commander of the army and is under the command. The command is composed of three departments, the General Staff Department, the Gendarmerie Department, the Logistics Department, and each has its own heads.
"The chief officer of the legion has the commander of the legion, deputy commander of the legion, chief of the army combat staff, chief of the legion logistics commander, chief of the legion military police commander, chief of the legion from the legion to the corps. The chief officer is called according to the unit number.
"For example, the wing logistics commander, the wing chief staff. The deputy chief officer and military commander are abolished from the brigade. The squadron is abolished from the deputy chief officer and military commander, and the squadron is abolished from the brigade."
After hearing these military organization that should be secret, Cons suddenly realized something was wrong: "I wonder what the purpose is to tell you about these confidential information?"
The marshal smiled and said, "I don't know why you abandoned the military post of Qi Hongguo and came here, and I don't want to investigate the reasons. I just want to recruit you into the Imperial Army? I believe in my own eyesight, and you are definitely an outstanding soldier."
"I??"
Cons, who had finally gained freedom, didn't want to lose his freedom so quickly. He was about to refuse, and after saying a word, he was interrupted by the marshal: "Think about it before making a decision.
I believe you already know that the mandala thieves who destroyed this village and killed your relatives were the ones who destroyed it."
Hearing this, Cons's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Just now when both sides reported their identities, he had already guessed that the Mandala Robbers Group was the one who caused this tragedy.
Now that I got the exact answer and understood who my enemy was, the strong murderous aura on Cons immediately emanated.
Cons lost control for the first time and exuded his fierce murderous aura without reservation! In the past, Cons raised his weapons to protect himself. At that time, he felt helpless. Except for helplessness, he did not hate in his heart.
Now, in order to avenge his relatives, his eagerness to take revenge and hatred occupy all of it.
Because of this, you can imagine how amazing Kons' murderous aura is now! The personal guard felt the murderous aura on Cons's body and immediately pulled out his weapon in panic, but was stopped by the marshal.
The marshal admired Cons with admiration.
How many enemies do you have to fight with to have such murderous aura! What is most surprising is that the young man in front of him was not fascinated by the smell of blood because of too much killing. The smell on his body before was as clean as the white clouds under the sun in the sky.
The Marshal didn't care about the murderous aura on Cons at all, and continued leisurely: "Do you know where the Mandala thieves are going? Do you know the military strength of the Mandala thieves? How can you avenge your relatives if you don't know anything?"
Hearing this, Cons' murderous aura disappeared immediately. He understood the meaning of the marshal saying this to him, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "See the marshal."
Between freedom and revenge, Cons chose to take revenge without hesitation.
The Marshal immediately laughed: "Okay, I welcome you to join the imperial army, but the imperial rank system is very rigorous, and even I cannot do anything arbitrarily.
"Although you have served as the commander of the brigade of Qihong Kingdom, Qihong Kingdom and the Empire are not ally, and your position and resume cannot be recognized by the Empire, so you can only start as a private person."
"Yes, Private Cons Rayrente, see His Excellency Marshal!"
Cons saluted again. He didn't care about the level of his military position at all. Anyway, he could destroy the Mandala thieves and avenge his relatives.
Cons' indifferent expression, in the eyes of the marshal, even more, believed that Cons was an outstanding soldier, with a temperament that he was not arrogant to win or discouraged to lose, and had great prospects.
When Cons was taken down to change his military uniform, the officer who explained to Cons asked the Marshal with doubts: "Marrior, will it be possible to recruit such a person at this time?"
The marshal knew what the officer meant and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he would never be a spy for the thief. That kind of hatred for the thief is impossible to pretend."
"Yes, my subordinates have been worried too much, but the Marshal. If Cons really served as the brigade commander, would he be useless to start with the Private?" The officer knew that Cons had won the favor of the Marshal, so he took the opportunity to sell some benefits to Cons.
Besides, this is his true words.
He also thought from the bottom of his heart that Cons was an outstanding soldier.
"Haha, no matter how capable you are, you are a newcomer. If a newcomer suddenly gains status, you will have opinions from all over the country; this is not to cultivate talents, but to destroy talents.
"If he is really capable, then according to the empire's military standards, he can easily get promoted. Others cannot have any opinions except to admire him. If he has opinions like this, he is narrow-minded."
"Yes, my subordinates have been taught." The officer nodded in agreement.
If you see too much such things and put yourself in your heart, if Cons is higher than him as soon as he enters the army, he will look at him coldly, and even pull him back when he encounters an opportunity.
Chapter completed!
