The commander-in-chief of the urban management army is of the fifth rank, and has four commanders of the sixth rank, who govern the four major urban areas of Yanjing respectively. The urban management army is an army in name, but its daily work has nothing to do with the army.
They are mainly responsible for the public security and environmental sanitation in the city. Because of their rough and simple daily work, almost all people's impression of them remains at the stage of ruffians.
David Mo held the appointment letter in his hand tightly. He wished he could turn this appointment letter into ashes immediately. If it had been placed two months ago, this appointment letter would indeed have been a gift from the court to him.
But for him now, this is almost a straight-up humiliation! Because Roberts was appointed as the deputy commander at the fifth level of silver level, and his official position is from the fourth level, which is four levels higher than him. He is the urban management army.
All the governors had to bow to him when they saw him.
His face became colder and colder, and he said angrily in his heart: "This must be some shameless nobleman who is causing trouble!"
Seeing his face getting colder, the official from the Ministry of Personnel felt a little frightened. For a gold-level powerhouse, this kind of appointment was really too harsh.
However, he only came to read out the appointment, and there was no need to offend this powerful man, so after slightly bowing his hand to David Mo, he immediately left this land of right and wrong with his entourage.
When the official left, David Mo took a deep breath. Although he was helpless, it had become an established fact. Now people around him were talking about it, and he could no longer stay in the hall.
After leaving with a cold and handsome face, everyone who was originally a little afraid of him finally began to discuss loudly.
"The gold-level urban management army commander... I'm afraid it's Roberts' mastermind!"
"Roberts? Do you remember that Ilivi last time? Her father was the minister of munitions!"
"No matter how strong David Mo is, he is not destined to be an urban management officer! If nothing happens in this life, he will only be a fifth-grade official at most!"
…
Silently returning to the dormitory alone, David Mo felt that his whole heart fell into an ice cave. He thought that with his passionate efforts, he would be able to obtain at least a viscount, but he did not expect that he would only become a third-class light cavalry.
What is even more chilling is the harshness of the court in terms of positions. I have never heard of a strong person above the silver level going to the urban management army, let alone his already gold level strength.
Even the governors of the urban management army are only at the silver level at most, because the urban management army does not need to go to the battlefield, they only need to act as a deterrent to the people.
Looking at this dilapidated house, David Mo wanted to give up his ideals for the first time in his life. He even felt that the current Holy Empire was boring to him, so he might as well find another country to see if there were any opportunities.
"Is this still my country..." David Mo lamented in his heart as he closed his eyes slightly.
The notice from the Ministry of Personnel is that he will take up his post immediately tomorrow. The anger in his heart should stop boiling. He needs to sort out his thoughts. From the current perspective, the road ahead is still full of hardships.
Lockisa and Almeline visited his dormitory in the evening. Although he knew that they would come sooner or later, David Mo was still a little unprepared.
When a man's stated ambitions are not realized, he will become particularly embarrassed in front of women. Now not only has the dream of the Royal Guards been shattered, but he has also entered the legendary urban management army with a combat power of only five.
The two of them obviously noticed that his eyes were a little sad. After sitting down, Almeline couldn't help but comforted: "The commander of the urban management army also has great power in Yanjing. Although he cannot join the army, he is still a good person."
position."
Her words are not an exaggeration. Although the urban management army is not as prominent as the army, their influence is almost everywhere in the city. Even in the minds of ordinary people, they are the official representatives.
Judging from the income and power of a commander of the urban management army, this seems to be a good position, but for an academic like David Mo, the urban management army is undoubtedly nothing.
Hearing Almeline's words, David Mo felt a little melancholy: "My lifelong ambition feels farther and farther away. When will the glory of the Mohist family be truly revived?"
However, he did not say it out loud, but nodded, smiled lightly at Almeline and said: "My will is a little depressed, the urban management army is indeed not bad."
Luo Lisa couldn't bear it. She wanted to mention David Mo's matter to her father. Unfortunately, she knew that her father hated this kind of thing. If she really spoke, she would not only not be able to help David Mo, but would also hurt David Mo.
harmed him.
She hesitated and then carefully worded her words: "The armies rotate frequently. If there is a need for the army, there should be a chance to join the Royal Legion."
David Mo shook his head gently at her. Now he has completely given up on the Royal Legion. Even if the Royal Forbidden Army is really recruited one day, he will not be prepared to join it again.
"I am already disheartened. Now I just want to do more things for the people of the empire in the urban management army."
Seeing his appearance, Lockisa and Almelin secretly looked at each other, obviously they both couldn't bear it. The young man who was in his prime and devoted himself to serving his country has now completely given up on the indifference of the court.
However, the two of them couldn't say anything else. After all, the appointment of the official department was too harsh, so they had no choice but to advise him not to be too sad.
After sending Lockisa and Almeline away, David Mo entered the Earl's Mansion, took out the dragon horse egg and fed it to the little guy for a while. The little guy seemed to feel the coolness in his heart, and the body of the egg trembled slightly.
Down.
Caressing the body of the Dragon Horse Egg, feeling the bursts of holy energy coming from it, he slowly began to feel at peace.
There is still no news about the porcelain doll. During this time, he vaguely misses her. For the porcelain doll, he has a very complicated feeling. He is like a father and a little like a friend. But in any case, from the spiritual contract signed
From that moment on, the lives of the two people were closely linked.
After practicing the Flowing Cloud Technique for a while, he realized the ice element again. His mental energy was consumed quickly, and he fell asleep without knowing when he was exhausted physically and mentally.
Early the next morning, David Mo packed up his salutes, took the graduation medal issued by the college, and quietly left Star College.
Just like he entered this school quietly that day, less than two years later, he finally left here silently again on a quiet morning.
At this time, Luo Wei stood in front of the crystal ball that monitored the entire academy, watching a young man quietly leaving the academy. He couldn't help but feel filled with emotion, and murmured to himself: "Perhaps this is the best thing for the Mo family.
A happy ending…”
The headquarters of the urban management army is located in the most prosperous area of Yanjing. Although it is just a small yamen with the highest officer being Cong Wupin, for ordinary people, this place is almost like the underworld where they have the power of life and death.
There is even a proverb among the people: "It is better to offend the emperor and nobles than to touch the urban management soldiers." From this, we can also see the deterrent power of the urban management army in the minds of the people of the empire.
The current governor of the urban management army is named Fuyede. Although he is only a fifth-rank official, his title is that of a first-class earl. His cultivation level is only Silver Level, but he is already the highest-ranking officer among all previous governors.
The commander of Nancheng has been vacant for more than a year, and he has been holding the post personally. Originally, he wanted his eldest son to take the post after graduating from school, but he did not expect that the Ministry of Civil Affairs suddenly assigned a graduate to take the post.
He was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and was about to use some means to let the young man retreat in spite of the difficulties. But after reading the file sent to him by the Ministry of Personnel, he completely gave up this idea.
He had been looking gloomy all morning. Seeing that he remained like this, the adjutant beside him finally couldn't help but asked: "Why is the Governor so upset? Is it because of the graduate?"
Now the entire urban management army knew that a seventeen-year-old boy was about to take over as commander, which immediately caused an uproar, because no one could accept a little kid giving blind orders.
"You said that the official department couldn't put him somewhere, but he was placed in our urban management army! Don't the students of Xingchen Academy always like the ones who go to the Imperial Army the most?!"
Although two days have passed since the incident, Fuyede still couldn't help but be filled with grievances when it came to this matter. Who could he throw this hot potato to? Why did it end up in his hands?
The adjutant smiled slightly and consoled him: "Why bother, sir? He is just a young boy. If a few deputy commanders give him a little trouble, he will naturally retreat."
Fuyede sighed and said: "To make some obstacles? That's easy to say..." He handed David Mo's file to the adjutant and said angrily: "You can see it for yourself."
The adjutant couldn't help but secretly wonder: Could it be that this young man's background is too tough?
Taking the file handed over by Fuyede, he opened it and read it carefully. He only saw the background column that read: Son of a third-class Qingqi. Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an unknown person.
A small nobleman who has entered the mainstream.
But then when he saw the column of strength and cultivation, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened. Because it actually said "Gold Level"!
Seeing the extremely strange expression on his face, Fuyede secretly felt funny and couldn't help but thought to himself: I guess everyone who reads this file will look like this.
After being stunned, the adjutant finally exclaimed: "It's actually gold level one! How is this possible!"
Fuyede said with some melancholy: "Otherwise, why do you think the governor is worried..." He stood up and paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his hands.
After a while, he ordered: "When David Mo comes to report, remember to be polite."
The adjutant nodded in agreement and thought to himself: Just kidding, who dares to neglect a gold-level warrior? Those kind of people are super strong men who can bleed hundreds of miles!
Fu Yede saw the adjutant leaving the office and finally returned to his seat again. He thought to himself: "The gold level 1 can still be assigned to the urban management army. It seems that he has offended some big shot..."
