.In a corner of the bustling city, amid the chaotic crowds and the noisy buying and selling, wisps of tea fragrance floated. A human, an elf and a mutant vampire sat opposite each other, siping tea and chatting. It seemed that it was not very harmonious with the background, but it also had a unique charm of quietness in the noise.

"Oh? You and a group of colleagues were dismissed after winning the battle and became a commoner? Your government is really..." After hearing the general description of Feili's post-war arrangements, Daniel couldn't help but be amazed, with a strange expression, "Even I, the defeated general, was only demoted, but you have been stripped to the end... Such a life experience is really amazing!"

Feili is really hard to answer this topic. She can't attack her own government in front of outsiders. However, the mutant vampire who used to be a super arcane artist did not have such concerns.

"Oh, even though he won the battle, he became a sinner who destroyed peace talks. Not only did he lose his official position, he would also have to offer his hands with food and supplies that you did not plunder by force..." The female professor spread his hands and sighed long, "Who would feel comfortable?"

This was a bit thorny, but Daniel seemed to have no thought at all. He picked up the porcelain cup, drank the already a little cold tea, threw a piece of pastry into his mouth, and then sighed.

"Yes, there is nothing to gain in victory or defeat, and fame and fortune are in a blink of an eye! To be honest, I was locked in a prison cell yesterday and was released today. The purpose is just to launch a powerful guy to suppress the transaction so that you will not be underestimated. If something goes wrong, you will definitely be thrown out by the first one above and take the blame. The general who was still famous the moment before will become a prisoner who is despised the next moment. Things in the world are so impermanent!"

At this time, Feili was holding a teapot and filling Daniel's empty cup. Hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his hand, and a few drops of tea suddenly splashed onto the other party's military uniform. "As your position, I just told the inside story, is it really okay?"

"It's okay." Daniel waved his hand indifferently, took out his handkerchief and wiped the wet military uniform. "You can guess this kind of thing by paying a little attention, and my general uniform can only be worn until today." He touched the golden tassel on his shoulder with nostalgia. "After this matter is over, I will be demoted to a lieutenant and exiled to the wild land of the Mazka continent. I heard that the miasma there is very heavy, and many unlucky people die every year because of tropical diseases. And they also produce poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. The only benefit is that there are many rare beasts and gold mines. After I get there, I can go hunting, dig out gold, and deal with the barbarians by the way. The great chief Tecumse has been very troubled recently!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something and asked casually, "Since I have told you everything about me, I'll ask me if I ask you more. After the war is over, where will you plan to go?"

Feiri frowned. She felt that this matter was not a secret, so she didn't care whether to disclose it. "I'm appreciated by the Magic Goddess Church. I've been recruited in the Mysterious Fire Knights." He said vaguely.

"Work for His Highness Mistera!" Daniel nodded, "That's a job. Although the extra money is not high for the church, it is relatively safe, and at least I won't deduct wages often. Although there are spoils in the army to make money, I usually live a very hard life and the military pay is always not reduced!"

"Military pay! Aren't you elves doing the distribution land? Where did you get the military pay?" Feili asked strangely.

"The only thing that really implements the rationing system is Yongju Island where the city is located. Other places are relatively chaotic and can only pay soldiers." Daniel explained patiently, "And even on Yongju Island, it just turns coins into food coin, cloth coin, meat coin, fruit coin, etc., which is essentially the same."

"I often hear about the arrears of military pay in the empire." The female professor suddenly inserted it in. "The central government of the Naserel Empire has limited power and taxes are often not collected. The supply of military pay is naturally very tight. However, your country has a large number of gold and silver mountains in the Mazka continent, and it is much richer in the occupied areas of the Feren continent than the cold empire. How can it owe to the military pay?"

Daniel smiled bitterly, "If you don't have money, you will naturally have to owe you when you have money, and you will also have to owe you when you have money!"

It turns out that although the elves occupied a large area of ​​wealthy land, there were many conquered nations who worked as cows and horses for them, the number of purebred elves was never increased due to the fertility rate. Most of the half-elves that constituted the main body of the army were male elves who used violence to plunder the offspring of female humans. Therefore, they were both discriminated against and were not reliable enough. They often mutiny and escape, and even lived in the enemy country. Not to mention humans, dwarves and other aliens who were forced to enlist in the army.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the soldiers, the elf generals who commanded the multi-ethnic coalition will not keep the military pay, but will only take a little pocket money, and most of them will be detained. Because if the military pay is all, the soldiers may run away when they get the money. When they owe military pay, the soldiers will always look forward to receiving the salary and stay in the army. This is the same as the contractors in another world owed migrant workers' wages. The more money you owe migrant workers, the more they will be afraid that you will leave, the more they will stay for you to work hard. No matter which side, the old man is the one who owes money, and the land borrowed is the grandson.

Therefore, the army of the Elf Kingdom usually only allocates the military pay owed before the war, and only a small part of it. As soon as the soldiers receive the military pay, they know that they are going to fight, so they quickly go out to spend money or send it to their families. If they can survive on the battlefield, they will continue to receive the pitiful pocket money and wait for the next time to go to the battlefield.

There are many benefits to doing this. The biggest advantage is that the generals can invest and make money with the soldiers' military pay, and they don't have to pay interest to the creditor. If the soldier dies in battle, the accumulated military pay will be completely filled with the general's territory. Therefore, most elf generals don't care much about the casualties of their subordinates: the more they die, the more they earn!

For the same reason, the medical rescue of the elves army is often far behind that of the Naseril Empire. Purebred elves can certainly receive complete treatment, but the treatment of other races will decline according to their level, and the most unlucky may even be buried alive...

Of course, soldiers' patience is limited, and they should not be too much arrears of military pay, otherwise it is likely to cause mutiny. Most officers will generally grasp this degree as long as they do not see money and live. People who are not well conscious will either die in the chaos or be shot in black on the battlefield.

"But during this war, the Chevrolet Church, who held the power, coveted the gray income, and actually made the base camp follow suit. Usually, it directly blocked military pay at the central level, and except for a small number of direct troops, it was no longer allocated to various troops. When the war was about to come, it would only take a fraction of the money as an incentive! But how could these guys sitting in the office in the rear understand the actual situation on the front line? And one is more stingy than the other, and the little money allocated is not enough to buy candy for children!" When talking about some secrets in the Elf Army, Daniel suddenly became furious and knew it, and the two listeners also widened their eyes and held their breath to listen, and sighed from time to time, expressing their surprise and ignorance. Daniel's vanity was greatly satisfied, so he spoke even more vigorously.

"In this way, the army not only lost extra money from top to bottom, but even hungry. The officers had to find ways to make money themselves, but they paid to maintain the army. The soldiers were busy mutiny, looting and selling arms, and no one was interested in fighting. Many officers were still shot by their poor and crazy subordinates. The fat man, who was originally rich in oil, suddenly became a fire pit, who could bear it!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, I was forced to retire at that time and was having idle meals at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, otherwise I would not have been able to bear such a crime."

"The army outside the country can also blackmail the local area or do some smuggling and reselling business, but the troops left behind Yongju Island are even more miserable. Since there is no need to fight, the base camp has dragged their various ration tickets. For a whole year and a half, they have almost lived on clean water and black bread. Not only are they all malnourished, but they can't even change their clothes when they are torn." When talking about this, Daniel's face showed a look of laughter and crying.

"Do you know how these unlucky guys solve this problem?" He gestured exaggeratedly to enhance the infectiousness of his words. "They were so bored that they sent some soldiers to wander around the streets with scissors all day long. When they saw someone wearing a robe, they would cut the hem of each other's clothes, and then took it back to sew the tattered military uniforms. When they met women wearing long skirts, they also handled the same method. As a result, the training classes for women's wolf prevention skills were blooming everywhere. And their excuse for the official face was: to promote thrift and frugality, help all citizens wear short clothes and miniskirts!"
