Chapter 286: The Guardian Cloak and Feng Kelei (4061 words)
"I know, Lord City, I just think it's too impatient to do this. They have only been training for two months..."
Monica heard Barr's words and said softly, but as she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
Barr continued to look at her, without further ado, turned around and walked along the aisle of the city walls.
He will not easily change his decision just because of other people's opinions, especially the person who makes suggestions will only raise it because he is kind-hearted and cannot pass his own obstacle.
Kindness is a good quality, but it is too expensive in this era of great pirates.
Monica only saw soldiers dying in this war because of insufficient training time, but she did not see how huge the resources Barr invested in these soldiers.
The army is a giant beast of gold swallowing. Now there are about 100,000 troops in Ice and Snow City, but only these 100,000 people have to swallow tens of millions of peles every day, not to mention the monthly military expenditure and various daily equipment losses and maintenance costs, which is even more huge.
At least a billion Baileys a month.
Ice and Snow City is now the most economically developed city in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, with an entrance exceeding 2 million. The economy mainly comes from monopoly pharmaceutical industry and port taxes, and its daily profits can reach hundreds of millions of Baileys.
However, in addition to military expenditure, Ice City's daily expenditure also includes administrative expenditure, scientific research expenditure, infrastructure expenditure, education expenditure and other huge amounts of expenditures.
It was only when the head of the country realized that the food and rice were expensive. If Snowfia hadn't been very smart about establishing a bank that was not guaranteed by the credit of the Ice City power and obtaining a large amount of funds from the private sector, Ice City might have gone bankrupt long ago by relying on the daily profit margins.
Just two months of training?
These five thousand recruits will cost at least one billion Baileys for two months, and the average cost can reach 200,000 Baileys.
Barr has definitely made a major priority in cultivating talents, whether it is food, accommodation or training, as much as possible, as the navy led by the world government.
Therefore, if I continue to train, Ice City will have to pay a lot of money.
And when you are outside, a life is not worth so much money, just like the popular slave shop in the Shampoo Islands, an ordinary slave is only tens of thousands of Baileys.
Barr is not a charity person. Since becoming the leader of a big force, he no longer works by his preferences alone, but rather considers pros and cons.
In a word, if you don’t have a diamond, don’t take on porcelain work.
Since you have earned the job of becoming a soldier in Ice and Snow City, you must be prepared to die at any time, otherwise there will be so many good benefits.
However, Barr spent so much resources on the army and found many good seedlings. Although he was not a super genius, as long as he grew up, he could become the backbone of the army.
"Oh~"
Monica saw Barr turn and leave, sighed, and then quickly followed.
She is actually a very easy-to-satisfied woman. She has a stable position, with friends and loved ones around her, and enough small money to live happily every day.
Just talking about her current life, she is very satisfied.
But she gradually found that the people who decided to follow the niche all their lives seemed to be moving forward all the time. Even though she already had a position of almost one person and a wealth that ordinary people could never spend in their lifetime, even Gilbert, the enemy, had been killed by him, and he was still not satisfied.
Monica really wanted to ask Barr what exactly is he pursuing? She was getting more and more confused about Barr.
"What a naive and stupid woman. This city lord is worthy of being able to cooperate with Boss Bar on an equal basis. He is a tough guy. With him here, the country will definitely be uneasy."
Badges, who was standing not far away, looked at Monica's back, showed a sarcastic smile, and said sarcastically.
He had a good hearing and stopped the conversation between the two of them completely. Now he only felt that Monica, the legion commander, had a problem with his brain.
He has wandered on great routes, seen how big the world is, and has also seen the life of people everywhere, and has also vaguely realized the root of the turmoil in this world.
Therefore, when Barr defeated him and said that he would pull those high-ranking guys from heaven in the future, he laughed excitedly and agreed to Barr's recruitment on the spot.
That's right, only by following such interesting people can life not be so miserable and boring in this damn era.
.........
Von Kree is an officer in the Snow City. His rank has reached the major. After being promoted to a school-level general, he finally obtained the right to lead a ship alone and become a captain.
He originally lived in a small island country close to the Kingdom of Alabastan, but half a year ago, the small island country was destroyed by a group of vicious pirates, and most people in the country were dead and fled.
With his own shemale boxing technique created by ballet, he successfully escaped from the pirates and became one of the many homeless people on the great route, and then began to wander on the sea.
At the beginning, he successfully took a boat to the nearby Kingdom of Alabastan, but because he was a singular figure, he not only dressed up strangely, but also acted strangely, and was repeatedly discriminated against by locals, so his life in Alabastan was not easy.
One day, an agent who claimed to be a Baroque studio came to him, hoping that he would become a member of them.
When his life was a mess at that time, he heard that someone was willing to accept him and would give him generous rewards and conditions. Of course, Von Kree was moved.
However, he encountered many scammers during that period, so he did not agree immediately, but instead stated that he would consider how many days before making a decision.
It was precisely because of this decision that he unexpectedly came to Ice and Snow City.
Shortly after the special attack in the Baroque studio left, a man who claimed to be an HR staff member of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce came to him and provided him with a very good security job, allowing him to board the merchant ship to the Snow City as a ship guard.
Later, he came to the vibrant and orderly city of Ice City.
Von Kree likes this city that was quickly established from the ruins. The people here are not as opposed to outsiders as the people in the Kingdom of Alabastan, and are also very inclusive of cultural differences. Even a shemale like him will not be rude when walking on the street.
Later, he discovered that the reason why the people in this city was that the ruler Maysfield was a very enlightened person. He did not value personal origins, nor did he treat outsiders differently. As long as he had the ability and good character, he was willing to accept it.
Maysfield, the name is very famous in this city and even in this country. It has a series of famous names such as Guardian of Ice City, Iron Blood Duke of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, Terminator of the Rebel Kingdom, Great Good Man of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, etc.
And I also have a very deep friendship with Sedibal, who is quite famous even in the great route.
After learning that the city was ruled by such a person with such a charm and that the other party was eager to seek talent, Von Kree decided to join him.
First he joined the army. Within a month, he stood out from the recruits and became a formal soldier of the drum kingdom, obtained a resident ID card, and was assigned to the house.
Next, with his experience in navigating, he was assigned to the newly established naval force of the Ice City, the First Naval Fleet of the Ice and Snow Legion, and became a naval soldier.
At the beginning, the First Navy Fleet of the Ice and Snow Legion had only three ships in total, and they were standard warships purchased from the world government navies, and they were eliminated models.
The daily tasks of the First Navy Fleet are mainly to maintain maritime business roads near the Ice City, eliminate invading pirate ships, protect merchant ships, and provide assistance to those who have shipwrecks. Occasionally, they will receive orders from superiors to eliminate illegally smuggled merchant ships.
After more than two months of training in the First Navy Fleet, Feng Clay quickly promoted from a corps to a major through his accumulated military merits. After that, he was transferred back to Ice City and went to the newly established Naval Academy in Ice City to learn the necessary navigation and fighting knowledge.
Just a few days ago, Von Clay finally passed the Naval Academy exam and became a school-level officer qualified to lead a ship alone.
Today, Von Kree and two students who passed the Naval Academy exam at the same time came to select crew members, the crew members who had just survived the war.
"In the end, there are more than one thousand left in five thousand people. Alas, why do you feel that the quality of the recruits is getting worse and worse?"
On the city wall, a black-faced man in the Ice City Navy uniform looked at the battlefield where the battle had just ended, shook his head and showed a dissatisfied expression on his face.
The cloak on his shoulder sounded in the wind, unlike the cloak of justice of the World Government Navy. The cloak of the Ice City Navy is mainly red and black, with the word "guardian" behind him, and it is called the "guardian cloak".
"That's right, but the difficulty of our previous tests should be lower. This skeleton monster looks scary. If the psychological quality of ordinary recruits is not enough, it will be easy to fall into their hands. However, the passing rate is indeed a bit too low. The strength of those skeleton monsters is actually just average."
A naval officer next to him, who was also wearing a guardian cloak, nodded and expressed some excusable reasons.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Feng Clay came out of the ballet with one foot, and re-sticked his feet, and said with his mouth with red lips: "Ah~, you are really strict, but they will be our lovely subordinates next, and we must not discriminate against them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gave a charming look to the two of them.
Seeing this, the two Ice City Navy officers couldn't help but trembled all over their bodies, and a chill came out of their hearts, causing goose bumps all over their bodies. They quickly smiled and shook their heads and said they wouldn't.
Although they have been with Von Kree for a while and know that there is something wrong with the other party's sexual orientation, they still can't stand the personality of this outstanding player in the same class.
Von Kree didn't care about his colleague's abnormal reaction. He turned his head and looked forward. He was shocked and exclaimed: "Two, you guys, that's Lord Maysfield. I didn't expect that he came today. I'm so lucky. He came here. He came here."
When the two heard this, they immediately followed the gaze of Von Kree and found Barr who was walking over with Monica and other guards. His face suddenly showed an excited expression.
The three of them had never seen the city lord, but they were all watching from a distance and had never been close to each other. Unexpectedly, they met unexpectedly today.
At the same time, Barr also discovered Von Clay and the other two.
"That shemale, I remember it's a guy named Von Kree. I didn't expect to climb to the major so soon. I'm very capable."
Barr thought with interest as he looked at Von Kree, who was wearing a snow city naval uniform and a guard cloak at this time.
Barr never thought about pulling out the wool from Baroque Studio. Although the idea of meeting the sand crocodile in Alabastan in the past had long gone bankrupt, he also continued to do what he wanted to do in another way.
Alabastan is one of the rare ancient countries in the world and is also a country with vast territory. Although most of them are deserts, it has rich oil and mineral resources.
Therefore, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce led by Williams had been deploying there a long time ago, and the Film Organization branch also took root there.
When the influence of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Shadow Organization reached a certain level, Barr began to try to fetch the wool from the Baroque Studio. Anyone invited by the Baroque Studio would secretly receive invitations from the people sent by the Shadow Organization, thereby attracting the drum kingdom.
It was because of this that Von Kree was accidentally attracted to Snow City from Alabastan by Barr and then received his command.
Now, under the influence of his unexpected butterfly, this assassination agent who will be the second most in the Baroque studio in the future has changed his life trajectory and has become a naval officer who defends the interests of Snow City in the name of guardianship.
Unfortunately, it may be because it was too early that Von Krei did not gain the ability to imitate the fruit.
But even so, Von Krey's potential is still quite outstanding. After receiving secret training from the Naval Academy (teaching Naval Style Six), his strength has been improved quite well, enough to stand alone in the first half of the great route.
When Von Clay and the other two saw Barr approaching, they immediately retreated to the side, stood up together, posed in a standard military posture, and saluted Barr.
"Ah, von Clay, Barrow and Kante, you three are here to select recruits."
Seeing this, Barr stopped in front of them, smiled and nodded, and said the names of the three people one by one.
“Yes!” *3
When Von Kree and the other two saw that Barr actually knew them and called out their names accurately, they were so excited that they could not do it themselves, and they blushed and said excitedly.
"Come on, I'm looking forward to your next performance, and those brave new recruits will ask you."
Barr patted the three of them on the shoulders and said seriously.
“Yes!” *3
Fon Kree and the other two said loudly again.
Chapter completed!
