"...Order Reptanton to return to Blue Water to report his duties, and the position of marshal will be temporarily replaced by Eric Hughes, effective immediately!"
In the Marshal's Mansion, Marquis Hughes read aloud the order of Yu Qianjun. His face was as stern as ever, showing no emotion or anger. After reading, Marquis Hughes handed the order in his hand to Reptanton and sighed softly.
Said: "Your Majesty also has your Majesty's
The difficulty is that although the enemy has been temporarily repelled this time, the loss of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is too shocking. There are many idiots in the imperial capital who demand severe punishment for the old marshal, but they are all suppressed by your majesty. I also hope that the old marshal will not blame your majesty...
…”
"Your Majesty takes good care of your intimates, I know..." Reptanton took the order, suddenly smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore! Eric, we haven't seen each other for some years, and it happens that things are peaceful for the time being.
, please have a few drinks with me tonight!"
"Of course I'll accompany you." Marquis Hughes nodded, his eyes looked around, lightly scanning Sean's body, then turned to Repton and said: "I would also like to ask the old marshal to tell you about the current situation.
Be prepared in advance! Although I have been getting news from the front line in the military in the past few years, after all, it is not as detailed as what I know here in person."
"Okay!" Reptanton did not hesitate, walked directly to the magic influence, pointed at the picture and said. The general, Shen Yun and others stood beside him, silently.
While Marquis Hughes listened carefully to Reptanton's introduction to the situation on the front line, Shen Yun was also observing him silently. Speaking of which, Marquis Hughes was Sean's father, and Shen Yun had never met him a few times. I remember.
The first time they met was at the mobilization meeting for the selection of the Holy War. Marquis Hughes went up and said a few words on behalf of the military. At that time, Marquis Hughes gave him the impression of being gentle and decisive, with the demeanor of a Confucian general.
Afterwards, because of the Holy War, Shen Yun met Marquis Hughes several times, but his feeling about Marquis Hughes remained the same those few times. It was not until today that he realized that this man who had not been successful in just two months had not changed much.
There seems to be something extra about Nian.
Cruel...bloody...
Shen Yun didn't know why he felt this way, but the moment he saw Marquis Hughes, he really felt a strong murderous aura from this middle-aged man with a gentle appearance.
It is normal to have murderous aura. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the frontline military camps. Basically, people who stay for two months will have some murderous aura in them. Shen Yun is not worried about the murderous aura in Marquis Hughes. Anyway,
The murderous intent was not directed at him. He was just a little curious as to why, in just two months, this high-level official of the empire who had lived in the imperial capital for a long time had such strong murderous intent.
What Shen Yun could feel, it was impossible for Reptanton not to be able to detect it when he was so close. However, he had different ideas from Shen Yun. As an old soldier who had been on the front line for most of his life, he was happy to see his successor
A person can have such murderous intent. To be honest, if Marquis Hughes is still as polite as before, it will make him worry.
The situation on the front line can be said to be complicated or simple. It only took half an hour for Reptanton to explain the general situation of the front line clearly. However, the details and some personal guesses cannot be explained in a short time.
That's it. In fact, it's really not suitable to talk about this kind of more detailed things here. It would be better to wait until the two of them have a private conversation in the evening.
Then nothing happened to Shen Yun, and he walked out along with the flow of people. Shen Yun turned to Sean, who had been silent since the morning, and said, "Why don't you go and have a word with your father?"
"..." Sean paused, shook his head slowly, and continued walking forward.
Shen Yun didn't know what Reptanton and Marquis Hughes said that night. He only knew that early the next morning, the old marshal took Laurent and five personal guards on the road. They got up very early and It was as if they were deliberately avoiding the crowd who wanted to see him off. However, when they walked to the gate of the camp facing Blue Water, they still saw all the members of the Guards, including Shen Yun and the other three, waiting at the door, and there were many people beside them. A few ordinary soldiers and combat professionals gathered around.
"What? I just said I can't hide it from these little guys!" Reptanton turned to Laurent and grinned, with some relief in his eyes.
"This is also their intention." Laurent chuckled twice. He is the only one who will always accompany Reptanton. The other five personal guards will still come back after escorting them to Blue Water City.
Reptanton nodded without saying anything, and suddenly straightened his back. He raised his right hand and struck hard on his left chest, making a crisp sound.
Everyone who was seeing them off opened their mouths, and then they all made the same move in unison. The sound of metal came from everyone's chest and gathered together, and swayed far away with a louder sound, attracting those who didn't know what was happening. Yun's soldiers came to look at him one after another.
Reptanton grinned again, then took long strides and walked directly to the camp gate. What should be said has been said, and what should be expressed has been expressed. It is not what a man should do if he drags his feet any longer!
The farewell team automatically separated into a passage and watched the seven people in front of them pass in front of them. Some of the guards who had been with Reptanton for a long time had red eyes and almost shed tears. Shen Yun was not so exaggerated. His relationship with Reptanton was not that deep, but seeing this old man who was originally domineering and now leaving sadly made Shen Yun feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
An old man is in trouble, a martyr is in his twilight years... Just as Reptanton himself said, maybe one day, he will return to the battlefield. That's fine, Reptanton, then we will meet again...
Marquis Hughes has always been known for his vigorous and resolute behavior in the imperial capital, and when he entered the army, he obviously brought this trait with him. In just three days after taking over, Marquis Hughes issued three orders:
First, all members of the original marshal's personal guard were dispersed and organized into various detachments, and the new marshal's safety would be the responsibility of the people he brought from the imperial capital.
Second, immediately send out manpower to contact all forces and discuss the matter of Blue Water assisting in destroying the dark creatures within their defense lines.
Third, the army began to implement incentive measures, with weekly competitions in small teams, and the top five each week could receive special training from the "New Marshal's Guards." If the training could be completed, in addition to some material rewards, even You can also get priority for promotions.
These three orders were not considered big changes, but they did bring some shock to the military camp. The first of them was not much to say. Although the members of the former Guards were a little unhappy, they all understood it. The newly appointed marshal It is almost a common practice to bring his own bodyguards. Only after this first batch of bodyguards will the new marshal consider selecting and training loyal and agreeable soldiers from the army to become his second batch of bodyguards.
The second order is nothing. Although it is a secret to ordinary soldiers, the middle and upper-level officers have long known the strategy finalized by Reptanton, and there is no obstacle to its execution at this time. According to Shen Yun As we know, within the past few days, the Crystal Alliance, which is closest to the Blue Water Defense Line, has given feedback and expressed its willingness to accept the help of friendly forces to jointly eliminate the dark creatures on the Crystal Alliance's defense line.
Then there is the third item. To be honest, this order is somewhat inconsistent with Reptanton's past style. When Reptanton was the marshal, there were only two ways for soldiers and combat professionals to be promoted. One is strength. As long as your strength reaches a certain level, the army will grant you the corresponding official position. Of course, having a military position does not mean that there will be soldiers to guide you. It just means that the treatment will be according to the same standards. Just like All the members of the personal guard that Chen Yun was in had frighteningly high military positions, but there were no soldiers under them.
In addition to possessing tyrannical strength, soldiers can also be promoted by accumulating military merit. This method does not conflict with the first method. That is to say, you can completely gain a military rank with a certain strength and then continue by accumulating more military merit. Promotion. It should be said that Reptanton's method is beneficial to the strong. In this mode, strong and powerful people can quickly promote their military ranks to obtain better treatment and greater authority. But it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to get ahead. Even if some veterans gradually accumulate merit and are promoted, they are only in the position of deputy squad leader. Those like Aruba who can be promoted to squad leader are already extraordinary. .
But Marquis Hughes's approach was completely different. Although he did not veto Repton's past practices, he created a new promotion path for ordinary soldiers.
Can't defeat the dark creatures? It doesn't matter, you just need to be able to defeat other soldiers!
If you win the competition within the army and then persist in the special training given by Marquis Hughes, you will be able to obtain the promotion opportunities that you had to sacrifice your life for before. Although it is just an opportunity, it does not mean that you win and complete the special training every time. Anyone who has been trained can be promoted, but so what? If you can get this opportunity several times in a row, you can always be promoted? Or, this is a different kind of meritorious service.
It has to be said that Marquis Hughes’s approach mobilized the enthusiasm of ordinary soldiers! Since he promulgated this system, the entire military camp has shown a crazy state. The training ground is full every day, and people arrive late. You can't get a seat at all.
No matter what time it is, the hope of defeating the same kind is always much greater and more realistic than defeating monsters. For ordinary soldiers who have not even reached the first level, Marquis Hughes's new system allows them to fight as hard as they can At the same time, we have gained more opportunities than before.
Of course, these have little to do with Shen Yun and the other three. War warriors like them will have a good military rank from the moment they enter the military camp. And with their skills, it is impossible to compete with those ordinary soldiers for opportunities. In fact, if you If you really do this, no matter how strong you are, you will never want to be a human being in the military camp in the future. You will find that no matter where you go, there will be countless disgusted eyes staring at your back, making you feel uncomfortable all over. (To be continued...)
