13 Mink Street

"But...is this really okay?"

Dana held the battle report written by Karen himself with a look of disbelief on her face.

Because in this report, not only did her original deputy leader of the communications team become the team leader, but she was also recorded as the first contributor to this decoy plan.

"Is there any problem?" Karen asked while cleaning the cup.

"But, I..."

"water."

"Oh well."

Dana immediately went to lift the kettle placed on the purification array table in front of Karen and help him pour water.

These kettles and countertops are basically equipped in every tent to facilitate everyone to obtain clean drinking water in special circumstances. The one here in Karen has an additional side effect, that is, ice making.

The formation patterns were modified by Karen himself, which was not difficult for him. As an formation master, it would indeed make his life much more convenient.

"ice."

"yes."

Dana walked back to get the ice cubes and put them into Karen's glass.

In fact, if Karen wants to drink ice water, it can be easier. He can use the power of the ancestor Allen to make water and ice, but he basically does not do this on weekdays, because the water and ice condensed by his magic, It's too pure, and when you drink it, it feels like invisible disinfectant water. It tastes very bad, so it can only be used to give little Kangna water to take a bath.

"Legion Commander, I don't think my contribution is that great. Commander Pu'er is the biggest contributor to the decoy plan."

"It's a special situation."

Pu'er was lying on the bed next to Karen, sleeping soundly. Karen reached out and touched its hair and continued:

"Strictly speaking, it does not belong to our Order of God, it belongs to me personally."

"This...I know this."

"So, its merits are not suitable to appear in the official bulletin, do you understand what I mean?"

"However, there are other people whose efforts and contributions are greater than mine. I am really embarrassed to steal them..."

"No, if we look at it on a case-by-case basis, except for Pu'er, no one else has contributed as much as you."

"I actually didn't do anything. I just... just argued in the communication circle every day."

“You attracted attention, and I can tell you without hesitation that because of your special status, the credibility of this decoy plan was greatly enhanced.

The reason why the enemy will be fooled is because they do not believe that someone with your status will take risks and act as a bait. "

"You mean, recording me as the first meritorious service is also because of my identity?"

"Am I such a superficial person?"

"No, you're not."

"The higher the initial share investment ratio, the more dividends you will receive. Isn't this normal? Don't be too sensitive to your identity. Your origin is not something you can decide, and your origin is very dazzling in the eyes of outsiders. , but at least the two of us know what the actual situation is."

"But……"

"Don't be a loser. What's yours is yours. You need to be more confident. I think this is the character a believer of order should have."

I don’t know why, but when Karen said this, Dana was shocked.

It can only be said that even Karen himself has not noticed that he has undergone a lot of changes after the divine enlightenment. On the one hand, the improvement in strength has led to changes in his own aura, and on the other hand, "meeting the real big man" "The world" will give people a different atmosphere.

The phrase "Rasma is nothing" to Neo was really not meant to show off or ridicule. Perhaps, this is to attach great importance to tactics and despise the enemy strategically.

Dana took the report and sent it. As soon as she walked out, Pu'er yawned: "Every time our little Karen takes advantage of others, I still make her feel very comfortable and grateful."

"Aren't you going to continue sleeping?"

"I'm very tired, but I can't sleep, meow."

"You are overdrawn and overtired."

"I'm still excited. I really didn't expect you to give me such a huge power. Is this your divine inspiration? It's so incredible that it makes me want to rebuild my family's belief system."

"Then let's rebuild it."

"It doesn't mean much. The ancestors are not living up to expectations. Alas, there is nothing we can do."

Pu'er can be regarded as the golden phoenix of the family, but he was seriously held back by his original family.

Karen took a sip of ice water and then gently shook the cup in his hand.

At this time, Muri walked in.

"Is the pursuit over?" Karen asked.

"Reply to the commander of the army, not yet. The pursuit and battlefield cleaning are still in progress. It is still quite chaotic outside. My subordinates came here specifically to ask if they want to be transferred back to help other legions in the group army attack their target stronghold. If you plan If this is the arrangement, the Legion needs to make preparations now.”

"You should ask Neo about this kind of thing first, and then come to my place to go through the motions with Neo's opinion."

"My subordinates went to Deputy Commander Neo's camp. He is taking medicine."

"oh?"

"He wanted me to ask you directly."

"It will take a long time to pursue and clean up the battlefield. After all, the enemy has defeated so many troops and there are many prisoners this time."

"Yes, that's right."

"Then let's deal with it properly. Our troops also need to rest and recuperate. We are not in a hurry to enter a new battle for the time being." Karen took another sip of water and put down the cup. "The battle line over there will be frozen for now until we get it." When you get what you want, you set out to help them, but if you rush to help them now, they will not appreciate our kindness."

The two legions in the rear were swallowed up in one go, which meant that this front line was the meat between the upper and lower rows of teeth. The enemy's reinforcements would not be able to arrive in time, so it really depends on Karen when to eat. Mood.

Karen doesn't mind getting as much benefit as possible for herself as long as it doesn't undermine the overall situation.

Because he really doesn’t want to continue to quarrel with Pilger, and sometimes, when you are sure that you have enough leadership skills but give up on fighting for leadership, this is also irresponsible to the overall situation.

"Yes, I understand. I will make arrangements now."

"Well, go ahead. When you are all done, we will get together and have a small meeting. I want to sync up with you about my divine revelation."

"Yes, legion commander."

Mu Li walked out of the military tent, and Pu'er asked curiously: "Can I be spoiled in advance?"

"God inspired?"

"Yes meow."

"When I was enlightened, I 'saw' the God of Order. He was sitting with his back to me. In the long river of time, he blocked all the gods of the previous era."

"Karen, how do you manage to tell such shocking things in such a calm tone?"

"You just heard that I'm past that point."

"Well, this also explains why not only those gods are not allowed to return, but also the gods who fell in the previous era are not allowed to return. They were all stuck in the previous era."

To a certain extent, gods are immortal. As long as the fire of faith is still there, after it accumulates to a certain extent, the fallen gods will return in another way.

The one who returns may or may not be the original one. If the rules are compared to queuing, if the first person in line is gone, then sooner or later there will be a second person to fill in, or it will automatically change from second to third. one.

Just like a piece of land, unless it is completely barren and desertified, as long as it is given time, it will continue to grow new weeds.

"You have made a good addition. The God of Order blocks not only the Real God." Karen nodded thoughtfully, "He has really protected this era so far by himself. It was clean, but he was tired, I could tell."

"So, will you take over his responsibilities in the future?"

"It's not a replacement, because this is my duty, the duty of order, and the duty of every believer in order."

Karen picked up the "Ordinance of Order" that was placed on the bed as a pillow and flipped through it casually:

"It's actually very interesting. The "Regulations on Order" have been revised countless times, but there is always one volume that has been deliberately retained for a long time. This volume has no meaning, and is even somewhat contradictory... In other words, it is a bit inexplicable.

I don't know whether this volume was included in the original manuscript written by Tiranus, or whether it was added by a later generation of sages of the theocratic religion.

In short,

According to the "Ordinance of Order", those gods who come and return are already breaking the law. "

Karen's first divine revelation appeared in Karen's mind [The order is drawn up by me and you must abide by it].

In the divine revelation scene, Karen seemed to understand who this sentence was meant for.

Now, looking at the "Regulations on Order" from the same perspective, I have a new understanding.

“It turns out that the Regulations of Order, which almost every believer in Order has in their hands, is not written for ordinary people or priests, but for gods.

[Whip of Order],

It is the whip with which order whips God. "

…

Dinah first sent the battle report to the Whip of Order headquarters, then to the Knights headquarters, and then to colleagues in the various legions of the group army. This process cannot be messed up.

Then, the first person to respond was Daan.

Da'an personally sent a communication request, and Dana accepted it.

In the picture, Da'an is sitting there wearing armor, and the two attendants beside him are helping him remove his armor. He must have just experienced a battle command.

"I want to hear it from you again, Dinah."

"Okay, Uncle Da'an."

Dinah recounted the battle in her own words.

After finishing speaking, Da'an nodded: "You did a great job, Dana. I have seen your growth and maturity."

"No, Uncle Da'an, all this was arranged and directed by our legion commander. I just did what I should do within my mission."

"I understand. The commendation order will be issued later."

"Thank you uncle."

When the communication ended, Da'an, who had his armor removed, gently twisted his neck and made a crisp sound.

Next to him, his deputy commander was still looking at the battle report and said: "This battle was fought so cleanly."

Da'an said: "Judging from Dinah's reaction, the content of the battle report should be waterless."

The deputy leader laughed and said: "Because the price-performance ratio is too exaggerated, I didn't think it was fake from the beginning, because if it was made up, I wouldn't dare to make it up so outrageously."

"hehe."

"So far, the Ninth Army is considered to be the one with the best breakout among the three ace armies. As long as this Whip of Order army turns back to attack, the enemy's defense line in this local battlefield will inevitably collapse. .

but……"

"But what?"

"Judging from the battle report they released, I didn't see any specific plan for their next move. It seems they are in no hurry to turn back and help the friendly forces to relieve the siege."

"This is being deliberately airy."

"Oh?" Deputy Captain Sofolk seemed to understand, "This is a war, and you still have such thoughts, ugh."

"Sofolk, I have always believed that a good general must not only be good at fighting the battle at hand, but also need to be good at fighting battles on other battlefields. Otherwise, it is very likely that even if he wins, he will lose."

"Is this your evaluation of the Whip of Order Legion, or your evaluation of their Legion Commander Karen."

"Karen."

“The reviews are really high.”

"Sofolk, don't be deceived by those reports about him. This kid is not simple."

"I've seen it. With the strength of a legion, a line of defense was broken down. Tsk, how do you give out a commendation?"

"This is not urgent."

"But you just said that the rewards will be handed out soon."

"Our Xiaodaina has made such a great contribution, so she must let our high priest know about it. This is a necessary process. After the high priest gives instructions on this matter, we will revise the commendation order according to the instructions. content."

"Pah!" Sofolk slapped his forehead, "This kid is not simple."

Da'an smiled and said to the attendant beside him: "Send this report to the office temple. At the same time, analyze the situation before the war and report it, especially the situation of disagreement within the Ninth Army. Let’s describe the key points.”

Hearing this, Sofolk said: "Da'an, you are so kind to this boy. I even suspect that you want to marry Dinah to him."

"Sofolk, it's not appropriate to say these words here. Although our knights have the highest command authority over the battlefield, the distance between the people in the garrison system and our knights was still too far before.

I wanted to take advantage of the internal conflicts of the Ninth Army being brought to the top to see if I could win the power to appoint and remove personnel for those regular regiments.

Well, not only these, but also the militia regiments dispatched by various regions. Behind them are their own legion rear forces. I don't like this assembled feeling, which can easily cause great unnecessary internal friction in the command.

The high priest wanted to use this war in the desert as a chessboard for military training, so not only ordinary priests but also commanders would have to compete for positions. "

"Da'an, you're still thinking too far, but this guy didn't report anything in the battle report. I remember they were quarreling every day before."

"This kid didn't make a quarrel. He asked Dana to quarrel."

"Oh, it turns out the foreshadowing is here." Sofolk touched his forehead and joked, "Oh, how about I give him my position as deputy captain, my brain is not as good as his."

"He is from Foden after all. Can you imagine Foden personally leading a knighthood?"

Sofolk shook his head: "This is terrible."

The number one spy leader in the church once again controls the power of a knightly order. Even if the high priest trusts Foden again, the round table meeting will never pass it, because this has seriously exceeded the red line of authority.

"In my name, send an application letter to the Whip of Order and apply to transfer Karen's connections from the Whip of Order to our Knights."

"Hahahaha!" Sofolk laughed, "You are blatantly poaching Foden. How could Foden agree? I said, you guys had a really good relationship before, and now you can still do this?" Kind of a joke."

"I'm not joking with him." Da'an shook his head, "It would be really wasted for such a talented person who is good at fighting not to be absorbed into our Knights but to stay in the Whip of Order."

"So, are you serious?"

"Yeah, I'm serious."

…

Next, the commanders of the other three militia regiments of our army sent congratulatory messages here.

Dana even received a communication request from Pilger.

According to past practice, Dana took the answer, then took a deep breath, prepared to attack, and prepared to output.

In the past few days, she had gained experience fighting with Captain Pilger.

"Congratulations on this great victory, and thank you for providing catalytic help to our army's strategic goals."

Pilger sat there with a serious look on his face and said nice things. In his capacity as the nominal commander of this army group, these words were actually quite appropriate.

The other party's rare "gentleness" made Dai Na, who had accumulated strength, not know where to use her strength.

Pilger said: "Next, I think we need to listen more to Commander Karen's opinions on the overall action plan of the army group."

"Okay." Dana responded without being polite.

"I apologize to your leader for my previous reckless and outspoken words and deeds."

"Okay." Dana was still polite.

Pilger nodded and ended the communication.

Dana immediately wrote a report on this communication and submitted it to Karen.

Neo happened to be smoking a cigarette in Karen's military tent. He took the report first and said with a smile: "Our regular regimental leader has relented."

Karen took the report and took a look at it, and said: "Some people will take the initiative to say that I have a bad temper in interpersonal relationships, please be more tolerant, or show a straightforwardness that can easily hurt you. In fact, Most of them are fake, because when they face their superiors, their elders, and their real friends, they can have normal communication and contact, so his "frankness" is just for you. , I just look down on you."

Neo said: "He knows that he has been in a lawsuit with you for so long, and you have made great achievements this time. It not only proves that he has no strategic vision and command talent, but also publicly reveals his loss of control over the army.

On the battlefield, whoever performs well is correct, and the one who performs poorly is guilty of original sin.

If we don't fight our way alone, we will be guilty; if we fight well, those who oppose and stop us in advance will be guilty.

The Knights just kept reminding us to be cautious. He was dancing happily at that time. He was really arrogant. If he were quieter, he would also get a share of our credit. Now he is unable to get off the stage. "

"Isn't that what you said? Some commanders have lived in the garrison all their lives. In fact, they don't even know how to do it. Moreover, the knights and the garrison system themselves are too closed. This has advantages and disadvantages."

"People are bowing their heads now, so what are you going to do?"

Karen said indifferently: "It's too late."

"So cruel?"

"If you want to control this army, you must establish your authority. If you don't remove the thorns that have 'bullied' you, others will not really be afraid of you."

Pilger lowered his head because he had already foreseen the possible changes in the command system within the army. He hoped to let Karen "protect" him in this way, but Karen had no intention of doing so. .

War is not an office power struggle. It is about fighting without defeat. On a bloody battlefield, a military unit only needs a clear boss.

"Do you need to do anything more? For example, put some more eye drops or something?"

"No need." Karen shook his head. "The intelligence system above is much more advanced than you think. The internal conflicts of our army are known to the above."

"Why do I feel like you are reminding me by saying this?"

"No."

"I'm telling you, when the war here is over, I plan to completely join the Remnant of Light organization and integrate them."

"I'll give you all my help."

"It feels so unfulfilling."

"If any community in York City wants to develop and grow, it must have the tacit approval of the police department in that region."

"Then am I being taken care of by you?"

"There are still many things to do after the war, and the situation will be more complicated. There will only be more places where I need you. After all, there are too many things that are inconvenient for me to do personally and need to be done by the remnants of the light."

"You are really amazing now. You have said it to your face when you use someone as a knife."

"I begged you, Neo."

Neo: "..."

…

After the meeting on the war equipment forging embezzlement case ended, Foden returned to his office. Miguel followed him in and placed the latest battle report in front of Foden. This time, Miguel learned from the previous lesson. Let the whip handler read the report quietly without dictating it.

After reading the report, Foden asked, "Are you mute?"

Miguel: "..."

In the ice pool, Auggie slowly surfaced, revealing a pair of big watery eyes.

She was curious, did Karen win the battle or lose the battle?

This time, there was no way to tell directly from the expression on "New Meat Skewers".

"Whip Holder, you are right, Commander Karen is indeed very good at fighting."

"Is he just good at fighting?" Foden's fingertips tapped lightly on the report, which was the part where he praised Dinah. "He is very thoughtful."

Miguel is a little uncomfortable. Is this a comment from his boss to his subordinates?

But this is Foden's evaluation of Cullen now. As a superior, to be precise, a superior with a strong desire for control, Foden hopes to have deep control over his subordinates.

Control is a science. You need to clearly understand their weaknesses, understand their mistakes, understand their desires, and give them hope.

Then, with Karen, Foden discovered that Karen had discovered his weaknesses, took the initiative to make mistakes for himself, understood his desires, and gave him hope.

The two sides of the game reverse their positions here.

This young man regarded himself as a tree on the road ahead.

This is something that makes Foden uncomfortable, because he is gradually getting out of his control, and this sign is becoming more and more obvious.

If he continues to win this battle, when he comes back, he won't be able to face him with the same attitude as before, and he will change from being the one being ordered to being the one being discussed.

Miguel stood aside and carefully observed the details of the whip holder's expression.

Foden said: "I remember there was a section on the elderly retired knights in the internal magazine..."

"Yes, the Whip Holder is a newly opened discussion section. It is composed of some retired senior commanders of the Knights. They will express their analysis and understanding of the war situation here, and will also put forward some opinions."

Since the outbreak of the war, the public opinion war between the two sides has also begun. From the perspective of an outsider, the reports on this war will become more and more baffling. The same is true for the insiders of the cult, because fake news is flying everywhere.

What kind of "Ghost of the Night" will appear in the press release from the coalition forces? It tells the story of a Flying Eagle Knight from the Night God Cult who hunted more than a hundred Falcon Knights from the Order side by himself, and also killed three giant dragons. .

And the "Wolf of the Abyss", a lurker of the Abyss Cult came to the rear and destroyed more than a dozen logistics supply bases of the Cult of Kosmos.

The Cult of Kosmos also followed suit and "cooked" the "Mouth of Order". It said that three Kosmos priests came to the other party's warehouse and ate the rations that the other party provided for 30,000 people for a month in one meal. It was all gone, which greatly affected the opponent's logistical supply and put the enemy into a food shortage.

Well, this is a deliberate use of the same spell to defeat the spell.

However, the middle and high-level people in the cult still need to deepen their understanding and analysis of the war situation. There are more and more relevant contents in internal magazines, which can be regarded as a kind of popular science.

"I remember Karen was very involved with a pensioners' club."

"Yes, because many of them have been mentors to Commander Karen Legion and admire Commander Karen Legion very much."

"Contact them, provide them with rich details, and try to make this battle a special topic."

"Yes, whip bearer, I understand."

"In addition, you should contact the deputy editor of "Order Weekly" again and give him a message. The purpose of this war is to train the actual combat capabilities of our teaching staff to face church wars in the new era. A regular army like the Knights, It is normal to fight well, but the greatest significance is that I teach other systems how to better learn to cooperate, comprehend and participate in war, just like our Whip of Order Legion."

"Yes, I understand."

Miguel knew that the whip holder was trying to support him and was already using resources to build momentum.

"In addition, I must keep up with the logistics supply of the Whip of Order Legion unconditionally. Any orders sent from the front must be met beyond the specifications. Pay attention to coordinating the relevant systems and departments and tell them which department will give me the order. The whip said that reality is difficult and thorny, and I, the whip of order, will investigate the actual corruption and violations in any department."

"I understand. Please rest assured that I will fully implement your instructions. You are really kind to Commander Karen, which is enviable..."

Foden cursed:

"This bastard."

Miguel: "..."

Foden felt very uncomfortable. This kind of guy who was not under his control but was trying to manipulate him made him both disgusted and had to pinch his nose to "like" him.

Especially after he figured out who Karen looked like that day, his complicated emotions became more intense.

A guy who looks like a high priest is now his subordinate?

But think about it from another angle,

There seems to be a strange pleasure?

At this time, the light circle on Foden's table lit up, and Foden stood up: "I'm going to the high priest."

…

A high priest is sitting in the office temple reviewing documents;

Another high priest is playing golf in the mezzanine space in the middle of the office temple.

"boom!"

One hit and the ball went far.

When Foden came in, he saw Creed and the others leaving. They must have just finished a small meeting.

Standing at the back and looking at the high priest's new hobby, Foden knew that he also had a new hobby to start cultivating.

Norton put down his club, sat down, and pointed to the empty space beside him, which was where Creed was sitting previously.

Foden sat down and naturally helped the high priest cut the cigar.

"Have you read your legion's battle report?"

"Ah, when you informed me to come, I just received it on the way. I saw it and won another battle."

"In ordinary combat sequences, your legion is the best. Although it is only a victory on a local battlefield, I am very happy to see the battle loss ratio. This Karen is a man who knows how to live. You Are you pushing people too hard?"

"High Priest, the Whip of Order is part of the Holy See. If necessary, I can go to the battlefield."

"Okay, okay, fighting this kind of battle more is interesting, and it is also a skill. By the way, Da Andai forwarded an application letter. He wants to transfer Karen from you to him. You What do you think?"

"He's crazy." Foden immediately pretended to be emotional and said, "He's delusional!"

"If you don't agree, forget it, haha."

"High Priest, Karen is a talent I discovered and a young man I focus on training. How can I let him go to other systems at this time? This will disrupt my arrangement and affect the future work of the Whip of Order. Operation."

"Oh? Is it so serious? So, you want to tell me that you treat this Karen as..."

"High Priest, I think this Karen looks a lot like me when I was young."

"Is that so, hehehe..." Norton laughed, "Oh, no wonder, no wonder, we are all old, it's really time to look for successors, okay, you are lucky, you can actually Discover a 'younger you'."

Norton took the cigar and bit it, while Foden picked up the fire crystal and helped the high priest light the cigar.

After the high priest took a sip, he blew out the smoke ring and continued: "Okay, then let's give 'Young Foden' some face. I'll go and tell Da'an that some of the Legion's personnel arrangements have changed, and he should be tougher. , make arrangements when necessary, and change when necessary. At least, arrange a group commander for our 'little Verden'. Anyway, our 'little Verden' can fight, so he must be allowed to free his hands and feet. .”

Foden smiled and said: "Then on behalf of my 'younger self', I would like to thank you and thank that guy Da'an."

"Hahaha, by the way, Dinah has grown up very quickly under our 'Little Verden'. What do you think about bringing them together? We can also give her father the last explanation."

Great Priest, this is about to grant a marriage.

This kind of political marriage is never rare. Although Dinah's identity is a bit embarrassing, no one can erase the halo of Dinah's identity and the political metaphor behind it.

Logically speaking, the people below would not dare to refute this kind of thing, but Foden knows his high priest very well... well, just like Karen knows himself.

On some matters, the high priest cannot be questioned at all; but on other matters, the high priest is easy to talk to.

"The high priest, Karen has a fiancée."

"Oh, is it very strong?"

"I think he will reject this arrangement."

"So, our 'little Verden' is so principled?"

"You are still a young man after all."

"Hello young man, okay, let's forget about this for now. How is your recent inspection going?"

"From the beginning of the war to now, along with the logistical pressure, problems in various systems and departments have been exposed before."

"Yes, only when a person starts running can he feel which part of the body is going wrong. This is a test for the front line, but it is also a test for our entire teaching staff.

Don't tolerate it, clean it up when it's time to clean it up, but don't deliberately expand or politicize it, start with our team first, clean up ourselves first, and then clean up others, don't be petty.

Just continue to be this evil person. "

"This is my duty, High Priest, please rest assured."

"Um."

The high priest began to smoke his cigar intently.

Seeing this, Foden stood up and left.

He had just walked out a few steps when the high priest suddenly called out to him:

"Foden."

Fulden immediately turned around and faced the high priest, waiting for instructions.

"You said you saw your 'younger self' in Karen. I really envy you, because I can imagine how wonderful it is when this feeling rises in my heart. No, I even I'm a little jealous of you, you know?"

"Haha." Foden laughed in agreement, but the next words of the high priest made his heart tremble.

I saw the high priest put down his cigar and looked at Foden,

asked:

"Now that you have found your younger self, have you seen my younger self?"
