13 Mink Street

After walking out of the military tent, Karen took out the cigarette case, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to the adjutant next to him.

"Uh...thank you sir."

The adjutant was a little flattered, and took it with both hands.

There is still a big difference between the internal and external system departments of the army. The first secretary of the whip can have a very high status and influence outside, but Da'an's adjutant dare not raise his identity in the army.

The former has enough ambiguities for himself to play, while the latter... is the latter going to fake military orders?

Before facing the elders of the temple, he was stimulated by the silver ring again, causing the hunger addiction to faintly wake up, and Karen had to suppress it in advance.

The adjutant offered to help Karen light a cigarette, and then he lit it himself, and he took a puff.

"Ouch...cough cough!!!"

Tears and snot dripped out all at once, and the body shook for a while and almost fell to the ground.

The cigarettes of the Thunder God Sect, if you don’t have this psychological preparation, you will take a sip suddenly, and this is the state; and because you know that your young master uses this cigarette to suppress hunger, the caring Alfred has already exchanged this cigarette through the black market. It has become the highest-grade and most efficient category. Karen himself is not aware of it because he has long been used to it.

Fortunately, the adjutant adjusted immediately, wiped his face quickly, stood still forcibly, and said:

"My lord, let me take you to rest first, dinner time is coming soon."

"OK."

The adjutant brought Karen into an air force tent. After entering, Karen sat down, and the adjutant washed his face, as if he had taken medicine. After tidying himself up, the adjutant said with some embarrassment:

"Sorry, my lord, I was rude in front of you."

"No, I didn't remind you in advance, I was negligent."

When the adjutant was about to pour tea for Karen, Dinah walked in. She stopped the adjutant and offered to pour water for Karen, adding ice cubes to it.

Seeing this scene, the young adjutant's expression was slightly stiff.

"Xinaway, go get busy, you are not needed here."

"Yes, Miss Dinah."

The adjutant walked out. Before going out, he deliberately glanced at Karen's cigarette case on the coffee table. Maybe now, he wanted another one.

Karen asked, "Do you know each other well?"

"I grew up in the military camp. Shinaway was my uncle's life adjutant. In the early years, he was responsible for taking care of my daily life."

"oh."

Karen could tell that Shinaway should be interested in Dinah, but Karen is not a person who likes to participate in and tease his subordinates' personal emotional life, so he didn't continue to ask.

Picking up the glass, took a sip of ice water, then shook the glass, watching the ice-water mixture float inside.

When he first came out of the military tent, Karen instinctively felt that it was absurd and ridiculous. Is this how ideological and political inclinations are tested?

Simply simplistic, sloppy and terribly irresponsible.

But now, after calming down a little bit, Karen realized that there was really nothing wrong with the other party doing this. The reason why he had the previous feeling was because he was only standing at the height of his own position.

Regardless of whether it is the high priest or the temple, their status in the Cult of Order system is absolutely detached, so detached that they may only have "rivals", but no so-called "natural enemies".

Do they need to determine your political leanings? No, there is no need, all they want is your attitude.

From their point of view, it doesn't matter whether you are round, flat, wide or long, because they can rub you at will to become what they want.

If you choose the high priest camp, then you will inevitably be changed by this camp, and vice versa if you choose the temple.

The temple is an undefeated player who has gone through two eras since the establishment of the god religion;

The high priest is the winner team from the previous batch of competition;

They are not the loose alliances of academic schools, it is easy to get in, and as long as you get along well when you go out, they will give you face.

In fact, before, Karen could choose the academic school as a transitional springboard, but now, he has no such qualifications.

When your status is high and your body is big, if you dare to jump, others will not dare to pick it up.

Needless to say, what is the end of betraying the temple.

What is the fate of betraying the high priest...

Karen looked at Dinah who was handing her a wet towel, her father being an example.

"Legion Commander, wipe your face."

"okay."

After wiping his face with a wet towel, he felt much refreshed and his mind became clearer.

Why did the temple let a temple elder come to test me personally?

Karen would not think that his identity had been exposed.

The reason is simple: the "remuneration standard" after one's identity is exposed should not be so low.

Moreover, even if the temple finds out his identity before he solves his grandfather's problem, he won't be so stupid as to deliberately startle the snake.

But the current self should not be qualified to be so important to the temple, especially if he is asking the high-end sensitive question of who can guide the gods from the temple and the high priest.

"I'm supposed to be... one of a bunch?"

"Legion commander?"

"I'm fine."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Dinah stuck out her tongue and sat down next to Karen so as not to disturb Karen's thinking, but she still secretly looked at Karen.

She had feelings for Karen before, but it was not the kind of feeling between a man and a woman. Although she thought that this man was very good-looking when she saw Karen for the first time, after all, she was the adopted daughter of the high priest and grew up In the knight order, "handsome men" are not very attractive to her.

The main one-sided relationship warmed up, and it was the time after Karen came to the front line. There was no way, she naturally liked the image of the commander, and she was pierced by Daan's words of "marriage given by the great priest". Small emotions such as grievance, anger, anger, dissatisfaction, etc. all spewed out with a "grunt" all at once, which actually produced a sweet taste.

It would be great if he worked in the Knights in the future, and he could continue to be his attendant, and he could also work as a lover part-time.

Maybe even Da'an himself didn't expect that his warning turned into a "suggestion".

After taking another sip of ice water, Karen refused Dinah's offer to refill herself.

In fact, this "question" did not bring him much trouble.

Many people will be very cautious on the issue of standing in line, because the cost of trial and error is not only their own political life, but sometimes their own and their family's wealth and life.

Karen doesn't have this kind of worry, and he can't choose which side to stand on until his death with his eyes closed, because of his own particularity, he is naturally destined to become a pole.

If you really want to be someone's younger brother with all your heart, you will not only owe those believers who follow and believe in you, but also embarrass the person who sat with his back to this era.

Swaying from side to side and seeking to maximize his own interests, Karen has no psychological burden when doing these things, because in his view, this is just a means of development. What he needs to pay attention to is that no matter how the means change, he should not forget to manage his own basic market. , as much as possible to ensure the independence of one's own basic disk.

Just like the current York City area...

The adjutant came again, announcing the start of dinner, and Karen and Dinah came to Da'an's tent.

In the meal sharing system, Da'an sat in the main seat, and the deputy head Salford sat on the side, and there were four tables below, two men and one woman were already seated, and the remaining empty table was Karen's.

When Karen walked in and was about to take a seat, the three armored people who had been sitting there all got up and bowed their heads to Karen. Although they didn't specify the title of their positions, their behavior had already tacitly agreed that Karen's status was higher than theirs. Taller.

Solfoy opened his mouth and introduced: "Anluna Bosen, the head of the 17th Regular Regiment."

Ann Luna saluted Daan and Salford.

If judged by worldly aesthetics, then she is definitely not beautiful. She is very short, with rough and dark skin, like a wild boar that has just descended from the mountain. Although it is impolite to describe a lady like this, it is very appropriate.

Karen noticed that the armor on her body had applied seven layers of formation patterns, and to complete so many layers of formation patterns on the armor, the thickness of the armor and the weight it brought... at least had to be It is more than ten times that of ordinary armor.

This is enough to show that she has a terrifying physique. This is definitely a powerful female warrior. Ophelia, who liked to wear thick armor and hold the sword of Achilles, was like a pocket doll in front of her.

This is not surprising... The other party is the leader of the regular regiment, and he is not in the same age group as Ophelia, let alone in the same class.

Solfoy continued to introduce: "Sardinman Pombell, the head of the 18th Regular Regiment."

Saldinman was tall and slender. Although he was wearing armor and had a sword on his waist, Karen noticed that the silver bracelets on both wrists of the other party were magic tools of the formation master. Help the array mage to calculate.

The head of the regiment is not necessarily the bravest fighter in the legion, and the professional attribute of the sorcerer is sometimes easier to have an overview of the overall situation and take charge of command.

"Pris Gulac, the new head of the 12th Regular Regiment."

Totem tattoos were clearly visible on the skin outside Pris's armor, which should be the pattern of a monster. Like Ashley, he should be a summoner.

After the former head of the 12th regular regiment was dismissed, his deputy head took over as temporary head. It seems that the deputy head did not get the chance to become a full-time member, and the candidate for the new head has already been decided.

Solfoy pointed to Karen and said, "Karen Silva, commander of the Ninth Army, is your commander."

Ann Luna, Sardinman and Puliss formally saluted Karen:

"My lord."

"My lord."

Karen saluted them back.

Dinah is right, Da'an's style of doing things is indeed straightforward, he will be promoted when it is time to be promoted, and he will not play tricks with you.

Of course, this should also be related to the questioning of the elders of the false temple that he accepted.

Da'an raised his hand: "You're all hungry, let's eat."

Everyone is seated and eating begins.

The meals are very simple. In front of everyone is a large piece of barbecue from an unknown monster, served with a vegetable salad and a sweet soup.

Dinah took the initiative to help Karen cut the meat, dipped the sauce on the plate in front of Karen and arranged it, which was very considerate.

Da'an noticed this scene, but now that there are so many people, it is inconvenient to say anything.

He could see that his adopted daughter was tempted by this young army commander. In the past, not only would he not mind it, but he would be very happy.

After all, he doesn't have to worry that his son-in-law will treat his adopted daughter badly, as long as he and the high priest are still alive, this kind of thing will not happen.

But the problem is that the matter of giving the marriage was pushed back by Foden, and the high priest also retracted his idea, which also means that it is impossible for this matter to happen again in reality;

It is impossible to pretend to be a person who is affectionate, dedicated and responsible for marriage, and wants to turn around and marry the adopted daughter of the high priest. But it is impossible for Karen to do such a thing if he has a normal mind.

Da'an said, "I have two ideas about the deployment of the Ninth Army, and I want to hear what our Army Commander Karen thinks."

Hearing this, Karen put down the tableware, and at the same time signaled that Dinah didn't need to add more food for herself.

"One is to deploy the Ninth Army to the center of our front to participate in the advancing operations of the main army; the other is to place it in a remote area, and it needs to be alone to deal with the enemy situation there.

Karen, which one do you choose? "

"My lord, I want to know which one is more difficult?"

"The first is harder, but the second is more complicated."

The frontal main battlefield is definitely the most difficult. After all, the opposite side of your main force must be the part with the strongest combat effectiveness of the coalition forces; but the situation on the side battlefield is the most complicated, and you often need to use limited strength to maintain the overall situation. needed situation.

Karen said: "My lord, I am willing to go to the place where you want me to go most, and I will also assure you that I will complete the task you assigned me."

"Then it's the second one." Da'an smiled, "I hope you can continue to achieve gratifying results on the side battlefield like before."

"Yes, my lord."

Karen took the order, which is actually what he wanted. On the side battlefield, he can get the greatest autonomy, and how he wants to fight depends on his own will. The disadvantage is... If the fight is not good, it will be easy Turned into deadlocked garbage time.

But how should I put it... before, the only thing I could command was the Whip of Order Legion. Now counting the 12th regular regiment of the original group army, I added 2 regular regiments. Undoubtedly, his strength has been greatly improved. He believes in his own ability... well, he believes in Neo's ability.

"There has been a stalemate for a long time at the Zuomais Mountains. I plan to withdraw the troops there and replace them with you. If possible, I hope to see the breakthrough effect of that front earlier."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

Karen confirmed that, in fact, the so-called choice does not exist at all. Da'an even chose a new battlefield for himself.

However, this is not bad, instead of supporting those ace armies with knights on the frontal battlefield, it is better to go to other fronts to keep making military achievements, so that it can have a sense of presence.

In addition, if you go to a few more places, you can also dig out more resources. For example, the mine below the Grand Canyon of Chia has resumed production and some of the ore will be connected to the York City area, which can be regarded as flowing into Alfred and the others. Small coffers for promoting reform.

But this steady stream of income can't quench his thirst for the time being, and going to a few more places by himself can also facilitate tomb robbery.

Yes, that's right, Karen hasn't forgotten his original intention until now.

Next, it was meal time. Except for Karen, they were all professional soldiers and they ate very fast.

After Da'an put down the knife and fork, the rest of the people also put down the tableware and sat up straight whether they had finished eating or not.

"So be it."

Karen and others got up and left.

After walking out of the commander's tent, the three army commanders stood up in front of Karen. They were waiting for their new immediate superiors to speak, which was a process.

But the process of the new boss took them a little by surprise, and they all smiled at the same time.

"Everyone, send me a list report of the types of munitions that your legions need to replenish now, and I will ask our family whip to help everyone urge them together."

...

The body of Ogina Frost Dragon flew out of the ice pool, hovered above, opened its dragon's mouth, and urged the power of frost to the bottom, causing the temperature here to drop to a terrible limit.

The whipman was lying in the ice pool, and the surrounding icy liquid turned into a jelly-like consistency under the extreme cold.

After a long time, the whipman opened his eyes.

Aoji stopped the power volatilization, and the dragon body landed on the edge of the pool, with concern in his eyes.

The relationship between her and the whipman is very similar to that of master and servant, pets, but it is undeniable that in Auggie's heart, the whipman has always played the role of "feudal strict father".

"Your problem is getting worse."

The cold poison in the whipman's body can only be relieved by freezing, but it cannot be really cured, and it will aggravate the condition instead.

Foden ignored this concern, he stretched his body slightly after walking out of the pool, and the ice crystals on his body dissipated immediately.

However, what he didn't know was that not long ago, the giant tortoise under the Office Temple also said the same thing to the high priest.

The door of the office was opened, and Miguel, who was dressed in heavy clothes covered with fire-attribute spar thermal insulation sheets, walked in with a report, and he put the report on the desk.

Foden picked up the report and turned on Miguel. Miguel rushed out of the office as if he had been pardoned. If he stayed here again, his soul would be frozen to pieces.

This report records the temple's contact information on the candidate list, and many even the conversations have been recorded.

This is the scariest part of the Whip of Order. The tentacles of the system actually infiltrate the temple, but they have kept great restraint in the past, but the high priest has personally ordered the candidate to do so. The intensity of the investigation was unprecedentedly high.

Those high-ranking elders of the temple, how could they be people who handle secular affairs, they need a lot of people to serve and implement their will, which gives the Whip of Order a lot of room to operate.

Perhaps the elders of the temple didn't even have time to read this report, so it appeared on Foden's desk first.

When Foden saw Karen's item, his brows immediately frowned:

"I think the high priest is the steward who is responsible for serving the temple."

"As a follower of order, I will swear to the death to defend the authority of the high priest."

Foden couldn't help scolding:

"Da'an, a fool who thinks he's smart, what kind of test did he do so extravagantly, it was directly recognized by that kid."

immediately,

Foden laughed again, thinking that the high priest has been calling Karen "little Foden" recently;

He said to himself:

"Our little Nuo..."

The name is taboo, after all, I dare not say it directly, so I can only change the way:

"Da'an, do you think you can fool our little priest with such a crude trick?"

After saying this, Foden's frozen face flushed for a while, and the unspeakable sense of excitement and excitement was stimulating the blood circulation in his body.

Immediately, Foden rang the table bell, and Miguel, who was dressed thickly, ran in again.

Foden picked up the pen, blotted out the record of Karen in the temple report, handed it to Miguel, and said:

"Remake a copy and send it to the Office Temple."

"Yes, whipman."

Miguel took the report and ran out again. Next, in the report received by the high priest, there will be no record of the temple's questioning of Karen, only Da'an's test answer.

Foden did not do this to pave the way for Karen and help him hide the negative crisis. He is not so caring, let alone treat Karen so well;

He wasn't afraid that the high priest would get angry after seeing these two answers. The high priest was a very broad-minded person; from Everden's understanding, the high priest would not be angry after reading it, but would laugh out loud.

The reason why he did this was that one lie required more lies to make up and cooperate. He could hide something from the High Priest, and the High Priest allowed him to hide something from himself, provided that...not to be discovered.

Therefore, what Foden does not want to see is that the high priest said to himself after laughing:

"This kid is not like you, he is clearly like me back then..."
