War Paradise

The soldiers who received the food all smiled at this time, and their morale was ascending at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although it's just ordinary food, to the soldiers who have been hungry for a few days, it seems to be delicious from heaven.

After eating the boiled potatoes, Yinshuang stepped on her army horse in gray armor, set off from the barracks and galloped towards the Flame Wind Palace.

She didn't know the identity of the new lord, but she was also very interested in the identity of the new lord of Flamewind City.

——As the commander of the Slaughter City Troops "Instrumental Regiment", loyalty to the lord is the duty of own. According to General Qin's inference, a new round of war on this continent is about to begin, and preparations must be made before that.

In the afternoon, the street was bustling with people, but when they saw Yin Shuang and her iconic military horse, they all hid away.

"Coward..." Yin Shuang thought to himself.

A brown mask covers her face, and her hair tied into a ponytail flutters in the wind behind her head. The galloping Yin Frost quickly reached the front gate of the Flame Wind Palace.

The guards cleared the way, and Yin Shuang rode into the compound on horseback. Just as he tied the horse to the stake, he saw another commander who he knew well and walked over with the help of his subordinates.

Looking at the swollen face of the guard commander Ren You and the limping motion, Yin Shuang couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter with you? Has the guard rebelled?"

"Because of the young master...General Qin beat me up." Ren You said slurredly.

Seeing Ren You, who always looks like a "flower and beautiful man", turned into such a ghost at this time, Yin Shuang almost laughed, provoking the two guards supporting Ren You and casting angry eyes at her. .

However, Ren You himself didn't care about Yinshuang's attitude, but slowly said, "It's not bad if you don't die. Don't be so demanding."

"Negligence of duty should be punished." Yinshuang nodded in agreement: "However, I still sympathize with you. Your dereliction of duty may not be a bad thing."

"Are you questioning Young Master?" Ren You sighed: "Don't forget that you are a soldier. We must remain absolutely loyal."

"but--"

Yin Shuang was about to speak, when he heard heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and the lines just about to be uttered in his mouth, he was chopped off and swallowed back into his stomach:

Boom!

A silver "can" nearly three meters high stood beside them, and the long sword behind it exuded Sacred's golden light. It looked like some kind of mechanical iron barrel helmet gap, revealing a pair of blue eyes.

"Heidemel..." Yin Shuang said softly.

"It's me, I'm here." The man called Heidemeier nodded vigorously.

This blue-eyed "macho" who is obviously from a foreign land is the commander of the Flame Wind Army's alien knights-the great knight Heidemeier.

Since this person's fighting style is completely different from Yinshuang, Yinshuang and this guy are also very uncomfortable. Moreover, Heidemeier from a foreign land is still learning the language of Flamewind City. When he communicates with locals, he often makes troubles.

"I'm done, how about you?" Heidemeier said loudly.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Yin Shuang frowned.

"Well, we are fine too..." Ren You said weakly."Everyone is good together." Heidemeier nodded.

"So what are you talking about?" Yin Shuang looked at Ren You confused.

"Let me do it, you haven't learned how to communicate with him."

Having said that, Ren You coughed, nodded hard, and pointed to the gate of the main hall of the Flame Wind Palace: "Go."

"You go first." Heidmeier bends down a little politely.

"I understand this." Yin Shuang said irritably, turned and walked towards the main hall.

Perhaps it was still dealing with the affairs of the troops. The other commanders seemed to have not arrived yet. Yin Shuang stood at the gate of the main hall and nodded gently to the guard guarding the gate. The scimitar hung around his waist reflected the sunlight, looking like autumn. Meniscus.

Because of the lord's martial arts, the rules of the Flame Wind Palace are different from other palaces. Here, if you are the commander of the army, you can bring weapons into the main hall to meet with the lord.

Even the messengers sent by the enemy were allowed to enter this place with weapons. There have been cases where an assassin tried to assassinate the previous lord in the main hall before, and the result was that the assassin was instantly killed by the lord.

However, with the passing of the previous lord, the young lord who succeeded to the throne was faint and incompetent.

Now the young lord has also died, with the new lord taking office, this territory can finally be on the right track again.

"You are here, Yin Shuang." General Qin's voice was as deep as ever.

Facing the highest commander of the Flame Wind Army, Yin Shuang also immediately knelt on one knee, clenched his right hand to his chest, and expressed loyalty to the opponent.

"Stand up, I hate these etiquette." General Qin was still the same as usual, with a little impatience in his voice.

"Ha." Yin Shuang laughed: "I am relieved to see you as usual."

"Yes, but the lord is not the same as usual." Under General Qin's dark helmet, an inexplicable word floated: "Don't be gaffe, Yinshuang."

——What does this mean? Who is the new lord?

While Yin Shuang was wondering, Heidemeier and Ren You also entered the main hall, stood beside General Qin together, staring at the empty throne.

It should be the location of the lord, there is no one at this time. The four waited for a while, and there were clear footsteps in the long corridor to the right of the throne.

"Is it the new lord..." Yin Shuang clenched his fists.

She knows very well that the ruler who will appear next is the object of her allegiance.

The sound of footsteps quickly moved from far to near, and a figure of a white-clothed man walked out from behind the pillar. It was not the lord who appeared first, but one of the most elite members of the guard-Shen Wenchong.

Yin Shuang focused his gaze on the spot where Shen Wenchong appeared, and another figure appeared behind the guard.

The person who appeared this time was at least 30 centimeters shorter than Shen Wenchong. He was wearing a plain blue robe and a short saber that matched his figure was hung around his waist.

"Um?"

Yin Shuang made a confused voice, and when her gaze moved to the short man's face, her original doubts suddenly turned into complete consternation:

"Young... Young Master?"

——What appeared in her sight was the Young Master of Flamewind City who was intercepted by bandits in the wild. Not only was the child still alive, he was unharmed, and there was no sign of fighting!

what's the problem?

Yin Shuang raised his right hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but heard Ren You's relieved voice: "The young master is still alive, and the guard is finally safe..."

"Don't get over your head, Ren You." General Qin said mercilessly: "You will still be held accountable for your negligence of duty."

Ren You hasn't answered yet, Heidemeier has already yelled out excitedly:

"Are you... alright?"

"I'm fine." The young master smiled.

Under the gaze of the four commanders in the army, the young master sat on the steel throne, placed the sword beside the armrest, and faced the four half-kneeling men, and gave the first command of own:

"Get up, there is no need to kneel down in the future."

"Yes." Yin Shuang said softly.

As the commander of the army, she has always been very accurate in seeing people, and because of this, she was completely disappointed with the young master, because the lazy child showed no merit at all.

But now... the child sitting on the throne seems to have changed his personality. Whether it’s his habit of acting, his way of speaking, or the indescribable “temperament”, it’s less like that of the previous one. The Lord is very different.

——Is it twins?

The distraught Yin Shuang was thinking about it, and heard the young master speak again: "You want to ask, why am I still alive, right."

"I believe Young Master, you will definitely survive, because you will become the most powerful ruler of Flamewind City." Ren You, covered in wounds, skillfully flattered him.

"It's not necessarily." The young master's gaze swept across the four of them: "I want to expand the territory and conquer the city, so now I need your assistance."

"Help." Heidemeier nodded without hesitation, and expressed his own loyalty in an unfamiliar flame wind language: "I will fight."

"Yeah." The young master seemed satisfied: "Before that, I will reorganize the troops, cut the excess combat power, and leave only the necessary elite."

——What is this kid talking about?

As soon as this remark came out, Yin Shuang was about to take the risk of expressing his opinion when he heard that General Qin had already spoken:

"Doing so will cause Flamewind City to fall, Young Master."

"What do you say?" The young master frowned slightly.

"The total number of soldiers in the Flame Wind Army is currently 4,275." General Qin reported an accurate number: "We need enough soldiers to defend the borders of Flame Wind City. The current number is already stretched. If we continue to disarm, the enemy will easily invade our territory, and will even drive straight into it for a long time."

"Well, what you said makes sense." The young master nodded.

This once unreliable lord did not go back to sleep as before, but agreed with General Qin's point of view.

However, the reason why the young master proposed disarmament obviously still has his own idea:

"The defense on the outside of Flamewind City is indeed weak, otherwise I won't be attacked." At this point, the young master changed his words: "However, instead of deploying soldiers, there may be better defense methods.""Are you going to build a high wall?" Yin Shuang couldn't help asking.

"That is of course also a solution, but it is not a cure for the symptoms."

The young master shook his head: "No matter how strong the fortress is, it will be broken sooner or later if it is surrounded. Moreover, due to the negligence of'I', the morale of the army in Flamewind City is now low, and the combat effectiveness should not be comparable to the heyday. Bar?"

"Seeing you work so hard, we will work hard too." Ren You continued to flatter.

Yin Shuang glanced at Ren You with contempt, but still asked the question that plagued own: "So, what are you going to do?"

"There used to be such an invincible general. His army was not strong enough, and his equipment and food were not enough. But he could always win battles, and even defeated enemies with advanced equipment. Do you know why?" The young master said slowly.

"Familiar with the art of war, transport troops like a god." General Qin said.

"This is of course one aspect, but there is another aspect."

Little thoughts paused for a while, and finally gave the answer:

"Motivate the people."

"You mean... the poor people outside the city?" Yin Shuang reacted immediately.

——A circle of "poor people's belt" surrounding Flame Wind City, Yin Shuang is naturally very clear. The residents over there are extremely poor, even eating is a problem, and there are endless robbery bandits and thieves.

However, even the slums still inherited the sturdy folk customs of Flamewind City.

Yinshuang still remembered that he had encountered robbers there, and his fighting strength was even comparable to that of himself. At that time, he was alone, but in the end he could not cut off the opponent's head, and could only watch the guy run away. .

"Yes, it is them." The young master's voice was very calm: "I also saw the fighting power of the local residents on the way back. In order to survive, they developed a strong physique, even if they were humble children. , Can't be underestimated."

As soon as these words came out, Shu Xiao who remained in the young master's room suddenly sneezed. Shu Yao, who was still reading, asked with concern: "Brother, have you caught a cold?"

"No, maybe someone is scolding me..." Shu Xiao said.

"So, you mean to arm the group of poor people surrounding Flamewind City and become the city's "shield"?" General Qin said.

"That's the case." The young master said: "Those poor working people need only food and clothing. As long as their livelihood problems are solved, they can regain their hope of survival. They will even defend this area themselves. land!"

Heidemeier pondered for a long time, and finally said his own feelings: "Human...power!"

For this guy's language ability, Yin Shuang can be said to be extremely contemptuous. But she knew that Heidemel was right. What the young master did was to use the power of the residents of the territory to make Flamewind City a truly unbreakable "steel fortress"!

In most wars, civilians will be tragically reduced to cannon fodder. With their combat power, they are of no use at all.

But if this part of "cannon fodder" also became an armed force of Flamewind City, the situation would be different.

"Training the militia..." Ren You whispered, "This is indeed a good idea."

"However, we cannot force them to join, otherwise it will only bring about counterproductive effects." The young master said: "So, the next plan requires your help."

"We are willing to go through fire and water for the young master." General Qin said without any confusion.

"It's not necessary to go through fire and water, but you have to do some exercises."

Having said that, as if thinking of some interesting plan, the young master once again showed a playful smile on his face.
