Chapter 162 Original Intention

Evening.

In the Black Stone Fortress, the soldiers with nothing to do gathered around the burning bonfire to chat and drink, and only when the patrol team came over did they lower their voices and restrain themselves.

Drinking is allowed in the army, but the amount of alcohol is limited. Each person is allowed to drink a bottle per meal at most.

In the barracks in the middle of the fortress.

Lu He sat at the head of the tent, and the current information of the legion was placed on the table.

Mark and Harvey stood on both sides of him, standing quietly with their hands on their swords.

Below sat the two brigadiers of the legion, the chief and deputy officers of each main battle group, and the logistics director.

Lu He put down the statistical list in his hand and had a general understanding of the strength of the Highland City Legion.

The legion has a total of more than 12,000 soldiers.

Among them, there are three infantry regiments, each with 2,000 people, equipped with the latest muskets of the Crescent Empire.

An artillery regiment, 1,000 people, equipped with more than 100 various field guns, this ratio is very high, much higher than the artillery ratio of the Western Army on Earth at the same time.

Two cavalry regiments, each with 1,000 men, equipped with muskets, bows and arrows, sabers and other weapons.

There are also more than 2,000 baggage regiments.

Finally, there are about 1,000 knights left, which are the main combat force of the legion.

More than half of the 1,000 knights are knight attendants, and the rest are elite with excellent physical fitness. The knights composed of this group of people are wearing heavy armor and holding lances. As long as they charge, their impact can be imagined.

The previous leader of the knights was Renault, a family knight of the Soros family, who was beaten to death by him.

Now Eugene is temporarily in charge, also a knight.

Although Eugene is not a knight of the Soros family, he is just an old subordinate of his father, who was raised and trained by his predecessor. He has long been labeled as a member of the Soros family.

Lu He looked at the officers below with a calm look, who were either nervous or calm, and understood their thoughts in his heart.

They were worried that their interests would be affected by the new commander of the legion.

Especially the chief officer of the infantry regiment was Brigadier General William, and Lu He could sense his rich psychological activities.

Before coming, Butler Jose introduced this Brigadier General. He is a high-ranking knight attendant. He was born in a civilian family and started from the grassroots. He has a high prestige in the legion and is deeply loved by the soldiers.

He does not belong to the Soros family, nor does he belong to other factions. He can reach this position entirely because of his ability.

Sitting next to Brigadier General William is Brigadier General Andre, the chief officer of the cavalry regiment, who is also a knight. He is looking at him with a burning gaze, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

Brigadier General Andre is an old friend of his predecessor's father. He was born in a downtrodden noble family in Highland City.

The two are classmates and have a good relationship, so they can also be said to be from the Soros family.

On his right is Roger, the commander of the first regiment of the cavalry regiment, who looks at him excitedly and does not hide his enthusiasm.

Roger is a family knight of the Soros family and has the strength of a high-ranking knight attendant.

There is also Colonel Lamar, the chief of logistics, a high-ranking knight attendant. He looks honest and straightforward, which makes people feel good. He is looking at him with a smile. He is also from the Soros family.

It is worth mentioning that he is also the nephew of Jose's housekeeper.

Lu He coughed lightly, attracted the attention of all the people present, and said with a smile:

"I have learned about the situation of the legion, which is still quite good, so I will not make any adjustments for the time being, and will operate according to the existing model in the future."

His words made many officers feel relieved.

Lu He smiled and said, "I can't stay in the barracks all the time because I have to continue my studies."

He paused for a moment, caught the emotional fluctuations of some people, and continued:

"I will appoint Harvey as the deputy legion commander and stay here on my behalf. If you have any problems in the future, please find Harvey. If Harvey can't solve them, send them to me."

"Harvey, introduce yourself."

"Yes, master." Harvey took two steps forward and walked to the front of the table.

"Hello everyone, my name is Harvey, Harvey Bombardier, and I used to be the deputy captain of the guard of the Soros family."

Harvey is tall and burly, extremely strong, and his voice is very loud, buzzing in the hall.

His words made some officers in the audience look at each other in bewilderment, and they couldn't help but whisper in uproar.

A deputy captain of the guard team, without any military experience, how could he be the deputy commander of the army? This is the front line, the army, and thousands of people fighting, not a small fight.

"Report, I have a question!" Longtanton glanced at Chief William, stood up and said loudly.

"Speak." Lu He looked at him with a smile.

Seeing the expression of the army commander, Longtanton's fearful heart was relieved, so he pointed at Harvey and said:

"Captain, this person has no military experience, I don't think he is suitable to be the deputy commander of the army."

"In addition, the appointment of the deputy commander of the army needs to be approved by His Majesty and the Parliament, you can't appoint him at will."

"How dare you! What the head of the Sauron family said, you are the one who can question it!?" Eugene scolded.

"Really, I am not qualified to appoint?" Lu He raised his hand to stop Eugene, and looked at Longtanton in confusion. He really didn't know this.

"Yes, you are not qualified." Longtanton gave an affirmative answer.

"Oh, I see." Lu He couldn't help but smile at the deputy commander of the Second Infantry Regiment.

"If you must appoint him, please take out the appointment letter signed by His Majesty and the Parliament." Long Tanton became more and more excited.

He felt that he was frightened by the name of the Soros family at the beginning. Now he thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be the case. What's there to be afraid of a child who hasn't even grown all his hair.

"You said it very well. Don't say it next time." Lu He praised Harvey and said, "Kill him."

"What!?" Longtanton was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Clang!

The long sword was unsheathed at a very fast speed, and it collided with the scabbard and made a very loud tremor. With it, a sharp and unparalleled sword energy filled his entire field of vision, getting bigger and bigger...

Bang!

After the sword energy entered the body, it was quiet at first and then suddenly exploded. Several bright rays of light penetrated from Longtanton's body, and his body was instantly shattered like glass.

The slightly noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

William looked at Longtanton on the ground and then looked at the legion commander who still had a smile on his face. He felt cold all over.

Too cruel, killing people for a disagreement, is this a high school student?

He suddenly thought of the complaints they had said in the room before the high school students came, and sweat broke out all over his body.

Andre looked surprised. He didn't expect that the successor of his old friend would act so decisively and ruthlessly, but then he looked at Lu He with admiration.

If the young successor wants to control the overall situation, he needs to establish his authority. Only by establishing his authority can he avoid being bullied, and his words will be powerful, and others will not dare to disobey him.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he has the strength to control the situation, otherwise the consequences of being backlashed will be unpleasant.

Lu He has the strength, so he did it.

Anyway, most people are on his side. Dealing with a small number of people will not hurt his bones, and he can quickly control the entire legion. It is simple and effective.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the hall was always silent.

Just when some people were getting more and more uneasy, Lu He finally spoke, his voice steady and weighty.

"I know some people inside are not convinced, but it doesn't matter. If you are not convinced, you can leave. I will give you one day to choose. I will not stop you."

"But if you choose to stay, then be obedient. Otherwise, you have seen the consequences."

Lu He's tone was calm. He often suppressed his inner impulse and tried to stay calm.

He really didn't want to waste too much time here dealing with people who didn't obey him.

What he needed was an executor, not a thinker, or even an opponent, but people's hearts are complex and changeable, and they often have their own ideas, so it's really annoying.

Lu He felt that he was already very gentle.

Compared with the means and process of other wizards conquering the other world that he saw in the Eye of Inheritance.

He is simply a great kind man.

Other wizards would never discuss with you, and they would arrange the one-stop package of body and soul clearly, and most of the time they would not say hello, and would just start working, so that you would return to the mother river without any pain.

Only he, who was born on Earth, would occasionally talk about reason.

Lu Heke never forgot the reason why he risked his life and left his hometown to come here.

He did not come here to travel, but as a conqueror and plunderer.

The unknown evil god has always been lingering in his heart, making him always feel a sense of urgency.

So he has only one goal from beginning to end.

That is to collect all the resources in this world, then practice until he is strong enough, and finally go home.

This is his original intention to leave his hometown.

Only by keeping the original intention in mind can you achieve the end.
