Chapter 018 : Heart of the Mountain
() Wait! After Wang Hu yelled this sentence, the muscles on his face immediately became stiff. What does it mean to be a member of the Noxian army?
Before he could figure out the problem, Du Hankao walked up to him and hung an iron-black execution pillar medal around his neck. Then he took out a set of Nok from the box in the corner of the tent.
He handed the Sars military uniform to Wang Hu solemnly and said in a firm tone, "Long live Noxus!"
Wang Hu was a little confused by Duhan Khal's words, and quickly nodded in agreement, "Long live Noxus!" After saying this, his brain suddenly felt like boiling water, and his thoughts kept going.
The ground popped up.
The human city-state Noxus is located in the center of the Far East of the Valoran continent. It is very different from Demacia in terms of moral principles. This city pursues powerful power by any means, both materially and spiritually, regardless of the consequences it brings to others.
Influence. The highest political governing body here is the Noxus Supreme Council, and the highest military authority in the country is the High Command. In Noxus, the nobles and the military control all aspects of the political territory.
There is no clear dividing line between war and politics. In the Noxian concept, waging war is a means to maintain politics, and politics is the guarantee of war.
In Noxus, where militarism prevails, the supreme ruler of the city-state is called a consul. According to Noxian documents, this system was implemented hundreds of years ago. Until now, the supreme commander of Qingchun is permanently stationed.
——General Burnham Darkwill is still ruling Noxus. The remaining nobles occupy all positions from consuls to ordinary officials, and are in charge of the power of the city-state. Their status is extremely high, and they are superior to
above the general public.
The nobility of Noxus originated from clans. According to legend, the establishment of Noxus was completed by several major families. This established the privileged status of the nobility based on blood relationships, and was hereditary and closed. Finally,
A typical example is Katarina's father Du Cacao. Since he took over the position of patriarch from the previous generation of family heads, he has also become a general of Noxus.
Supreme Commander Burnham Darkwill is a special case. Long before Jarvan I of Demacia, this man ruled Noxus. There are rumors that he has survived for so many years through necromancy.
Generally speaking, the status of a noble will not decline due to the decline of his family's economic and political status. On the contrary, civilians cannot become nobles due to meritorious service and promotion. Nobles can improve their family status by serving as city-state officials and win certain hereditary privileges. Their privileged status
It is determined by the official career of the person or his father, rather than by whether he is born into a noble family.
Therefore, as the second family of Noxus, the Khal family has no reason to send three family members at once to the eastern end of the Northern Iron Ridge Mountains. Not to mention Tai, who is a retainer.
Len Catalina is the eldest lady of the Kaa family, why does she appear here?
If nothing unexpected happens, Katarina's path has been decided long ago. She will definitely take over the position of General Duque Cao and embark on an official career in Noxus.
But what do these things have to do with the medal around his neck? And this straight black military uniform, all of this reveals an unusual meaning!
Wang Hu frowned and asked. "Colonel, I think you have made a mistake? I am here to apply for mercenaries!" Despite what he said, Wang Hu quickly took over the military uniform.
Du Hancao pressed his hand on the neatly folded military uniform, and the sound of squeaking came from the pig mouth respirator, "Don't you want to join the army of Noxus? Become a member of the Blade Squadron.
?" The momentum of the officer Wang has undergone a subversive change at this time. If it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water before, now it is an erupting volcano!
The sudden change in momentum made him look like a veteran who had just retired from the front line. He was full of evil spirits!
Wang Hu was forced by the momentum of Khal Duhan. He felt that his breathing was very suppressed, and he roared loudly. "No! I am very happy to be a member of the Noxian army and to be the most powerful in Valoran."
Being a soldier in the army is every adventurer’s dream!”
"Very good!" Duhan Kao was very satisfied with Wang Hu's performance. After he said these words, his face quickly showed a look of exhaustion, he coughed violently, and retracted all the incisors of the saw-toothed mouse on the table.
He walked into a box. He turned around and walked to his seat. He jumped on it. All the muscles in his body relaxed, as if his bones had been removed. He said to Wang Hu, "My niece specifically ordered me to kill the giant."
Whoever has the most toothed rats will be specially recruited into the Blade Squadron. Although we Noxians do not welcome non-human creatures and strangers, you have at least proved your worth. From your words, I can tell that you have deep feelings for Nok.
The awe that Sass has is the key to my decision to accept you!"
This group of rats had already made Katarina, the Ominous Blade, very angry. They allowed these rats to gnaw weapons and equipment wantonly in the camp. The soldiers of the Norse army were defeated without fighting. From the information revealed by Du Hancao's words, this
The guy in the strange costume turned out to be Caterina's uncle, the brother of General Duque Cao.
Wang Hu had a hunch early on that there must be a large number of soldiers and officers gathered at the base of the Blade Squadron and the Eagle Shield Legion, and there were many tasks here. The reason why he gave the extra giant rat incisors to Du Hanka
Oh, it’s also to get closer to the characters in the plot.
This can be regarded as a blessing. Being able to work as an officer in the logistics department, Du Hankao's status in the family must not be very high. But it is all worth it. Wang Hu's transformation from a mercenary to a regular army is
It's like temporary workers entering the establishment and officially becoming part of the "system".
It can be foreseen that the future benefits + gray income + welfare will not be a small sum.
As for the key to accepting me? A drop of cold sweat rolled down Wang Hu's forehead. He did not expose Du Hankao's behavior of putting gold on his face. I'm afraid this guy was tortured by Catalina. This unruly and willful
The eldest lady of xing is not a soft persimmon.
Duhan Kao's words showed a clear intention to win over, and they were extremely subtle, giving Wang Hu the feeling of being possessed by a male pig's feet in a third-rate Korean drama. Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Hu did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. Nuo
The Xians are famous for their rigidity. At this time, he did not dare to stroke Du Hancao's tiger beard.
"Thank you for your appreciation!" Wang Hu replied with a loud voice, and the expression on his face was full of gratitude and excitement, as well as various emotions mixed together. His face looked flushed, "I will definitely not
I will live up to your expectations and fight for the cause of Noxus for the rest of my life!"
These words made by Che Luolu mean nothing if you think about it carefully, but they are extremely useful to those in higher positions. Wang Hu flattered him all the time and gave top hats one after another, which made Du Hancao doubt himself. Could it be that I
Is it really as good as what this soldier said?
The intimacy between Wang Hu and Du Hankao increased sharply, and soon reached the level of ordinary people (267300), but this value did not move after it rose here.
It seems that Du Hancao has become immune to Wang Hu's flattery.
Finally, Wang Hu ended his conversation with Du Hancao with a handsome salute, immediately ran all the way to the gate of the camp, and handed the last 20 giant rat incisors to the guard Saldin.
To put it bluntly, guard Saldin was just a soldier watching the gate. When he saw the iron pillar medal on Wang Hu's collar, he immediately got excited and raised his right arm in salute.
Then respectfully offer 300 merit points!
Wang Hu narrowed his eyes and smiled naturally. He noticed that the soldiers acting as guards were not well equipped, and the medals obviously lacked iron content and showed a gray color. He couldn't help but take a few more curious glances. Sardin's
The medal is obviously mixed with a large amount of lead. This phenomenon illustrates at least two problems.
First, Noxus has been severely short of resources in successive years of war. I’m afraid the situation is not optimistic. The medals representing military honors are actually mixed with other materials. It can be seen that the high-quality equipment of the Noxian army is first equipped with elite troops, followed by front-line combat troops, and thirdly.
These are the miscellaneous soldiers.
Second, Wang Hu’s medal is full of iron. Although he and Saldin have the same military rank as private, Sardin’s respectful look at least shows that Wang Hu’s status is one level higher than him. This is not difficult to understand.
Just like in the real world, the second lieutenant of the special forces has the same military rank as the second lieutenant of the local garrison force, but the former is obviously one level higher than the latter.
This is just a "hidden rule" that is common in the world.
As for the screeners' medals, they were similar to Sardin's. Wang Hu was sure that Sardin would never salute other screeners, and the rewards he received would not be doubled.
Wang Hu nodded and gave the same military salute. Sardin's face showed a happy look, as if it was a great thing to receive a return gift from an official soldier. At this point, the task of selecting the camp was officially completed, and there was still less time left before the deadline.
There are only less than twenty minutes left. It can be said that he has passed the test. If he encounters another screener blocking his way, Wang Hu will go crazy.
Receiving another reward of 2,000 overclocking points made Wang Hu feel better. He pretended to be casual and asked, "I heard that even Miss Catalina has left the army this time. Is something big going on?"
Saldin said with a mysterious face, "I don't know very well. I just heard something from the gang of soldiers from the Griffin detachment."
Wang Hu quickly threw away a cigarette, pretending to be all ears, and lowered his voice and said, "I just came to the army and haven't figured out the situation yet. Can you please say a few more words to avoid accidentally doing something wrong?
Make the eldest lady angry!" After saying this, Wang Hu quickly lit a cigarette for Saldin, and then stuffed the Zippo Classic Chrome 200 lighter and a pack of cigarettes into Saldin's arms.
Sardin, who has been a guard for the past few days, must have eaten enough of the items provided by the screeners. He took a puff of cigarette happily, exhaled blue and white smoke, and said to Wang Hu's ear in a sly voice, "
The guys from the Griffin detachment said that General Duque Cao seemed to be missing. Miss Catalina came over from Noxus just for this matter. It seemed that someone found the general left behind in the mountains under the Blackrock Abyss.
Traces of the heart!”
ps: I’ve been busy all afternoon, so this chapter is a bit messy... It’s really shameful.
Chapter completed!
