Data Wasteland

"This is an invitation sent by Count George Page. I would like to invite you to the Earls Court for afternoon tea at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

In the study, Chen Xing accepted the invitation with a red ribbon tied to K, glanced at the bronzing font on it, and threw it into the wastebasket next to it.

"Please tell Earl George, thank him for his kind invitation, but unfortunately I have been busy with my business recently, and I am really incapable of doing it. I will definitely come to visit when I am free for a while."

Chen Xing lightly rejected the appointment with Earl George.

Let him come to see you, what a joke!

They were of equal rank, and they were all the highest commanders of the group army, and even Chen Xing's rank was slightly higher. Because Chen Xing is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Alliance, and Earl George is from the Red Dragon Principality. On the relationship with the supreme commander of the Northern Alliance, Chen Xing is even better.

I have to say that this representative of the old-school aristocracy is really pedantic.

In this matter, no one asked anyone to figure it out, and it is no wonder that in the Red Rock Mountains, it will be a mess, it is simply a dead brain, not knowing how to turn.

Even if they wanted to meet, it was Earl George who came to see him, not he came to the door with the invitation.

Soon, a few enthusiastic young people came back to their senses and went to the military department to request that they be returned to the military.

But joining the army is not a trifling matter. The application has already run through the procedures and the official seal has been completed. They are already an expeditionary soldier.

The military department is not just talking about where to go, so naturally they will not agree. As a result, these powerful children relied on family power to play and roll in the military department, crying, making troubles and hanging themselves, saying that they were bewitched. I couldn't think about it on impulse, and I had to return the enlistment application for anything.

The military minister has a headache. On the one hand, it is the rules of the military. The Red Dragon Principality has always ruled its army with an iron fist, and its military laws are strict and can not tolerate any ambiguity. On the other hand, these people are the sons of the most powerful and powerful, and they dare not easily offend them.

So the military minister kicked the ball to Chen Xing, letting the Supreme Commander of the Expeditionary Army decide.

Without saying anything, Chen Xing ordered all these people to be thrown into the cell, and notified his family members: If the expeditionary army does not report within two weeks, then prepare to go to the military court!

For a time, there was a lot of trouble, and there was a lot of noise in the aristocratic circle of the monitor lizard city.

Chen Xing threw another blockbuster. These people can apply for dismissal, but they have to sign a statement that "I am as timid as a mouse, not suitable for the battlefield."

This is undoubtedly more unacceptable to the Red Country people who advocate force than to die on the battlefield. If you really sign this statement, not only will your reputation be discredited, but your family will be shamed for a hundred years.

Chen Xing's behavior immediately aroused a new round of scolding from the rich and powerful in the monitor lizard city. The word "Chen Xing" has almost become synonymous with despicable and shameless. Various tabloids and magazines verbally criticized him, wishing to drown him with saliva.

But Chen Xing is already a dead pig and he is not afraid of boiling water, and his skin is very thick. There is no difference between 100% shamelessness and 200% shamelessness, or even 500% shamelessness.

Although the dignitaries of Monitor Lizard City scolded, they couldn't help getting scared in their hearts. The supreme commander of the expeditionary army is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This kind of ruthless person, whoever encounters who is unlucky, it is better not to offend easily.

Sometimes people are jealous, but also a kind of prestige.

After a few days, Earl George finally could not sit still, and came to visit.

"Prepare tea, count George, please!

"

The Supreme Commander of the Third Army came to visit and Chen Xing immediately opened the door to greet him. The kings of spades are blown out, and it's pointless to pretend to be sick.

Earl George has five in his seventies this year, and he is in his prime for the lord-level powerhouse. She is thin, a decent aristocratic dress, looks very capable. The Peggy family, who was born in the fifth place in the Red Dragon Principality, has ancestors who have fought with the Maris family for thousands of years, and is one of the representatives of the veteran nobles in the Red Dragon Principality.

"Master Chen Xing, the dog has an impulsive personality and is bothering adults."

In the back garden, Earl George leaned to pay tribute to Chen Xing, which was already a huge concession and humility for an arrogant and old-fashioned nobleman.

Chen Xing stood up and replied solemnly. Instead of leaning back, he bowed ninety degrees: "Thank you for the Peggy family's affirmation and support of the expeditionary army!"

"As the first heir to the family, Marcy Page resolutely gave up the superior conditions and joined the expeditionary army, becoming a low-level soldier, holding a steel gun, defending the home and the country, fully demonstrating the noble sentiment and morals of the Peggy family. The aristocratic spirit passed down from the origin..."

Chen Xing smashed a bunch of high hats, and the corners of George's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

I saw Earl George sitting down slowly, frowning in thought, and thinking about speaking several times, but he swallowed again when the words came to his lips.

Chen Xing saw that he was hesitant to say something, so he said, "If you have any thoughts, Lord Earl, you will do your best."

At this moment, Chen Xing is like a fox who is discussing with the chicken how to make a full chicken feast, so hypocritical and hypocritical.

Earl George pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to hold onto the armrest of the wicker chair, facing Chen Xing, and said sincerely, "Master Chen, it is true that we only have such a single seedling in our house..."

"Please raise your hands high and let Inuzi come back and inherit the family business. I really appreciate it..."

"What are you talking about? I didn't understand what the adults mean..." Chen Xing was confused, "Master Ma Xi is passionate about serving the country on the battlefield, and he is indeed a role model for the younger generation in this country."

"This..." Earl George had a pained expression. It was true that the scholar met a rogue and there was nothing to do.

Chen Xing smiled slightly, picked up his teacup, and drank tea slowly.

The expression on Earl George's face changed several times, and finally he sighed and said, "Master Chen, how can you let the dog go?"

"My lord, I don't understand what you said." Chen Xing put down the tea cup, the smile on his face gradually reduced, and his eyes showed gloomy, "Master Marcy is willing to enlist in the army and wants to make contributions and win glory for the Peggy family. I How can you become a villain if you support his decision?"

"How about this..." Chen Xing's gaze was like a wolf. "We are all commanders of the group army appointed by the princess. Let's confront her and see if I, Chen Xing, is the kind of villain you mentioned."

"No, no, no..." Earl George's shriveled skin was almost crumpled, "I didn't mean that, adults, don't get me wrong. I just want to say, is there any way to improve the dog's performance on the battlefield? Survival rate..."

"Oh, that's what Lord Earl meant..." Chen Xing pretended to have a sudden realization, and in the eyes of Earl George, he felt that he was about to collapse.

"In fact, it is very simple to increase the survival rate..." Chen Xing deliberately stretched his voice, "I have a way to ensure that Master Ma Xi can gain military merit and return unscathed."

"My lord, please..." Earl George nodded in greeting.

"You should send some manpower to Master Ma Xi, preferably from elite family members, so that Master Ma Xi doesn't have to go to the battle in person, just command from the rear." Chen Xing said with a smile.

Earl George grabbed the arm of the wicker chair, with blue veins appearing on his forehead, but his good qualities still didn't make him show anger.

This is blatant kidnapping and extortion!

Chen Xing smiled faintly and continued to drink tea.

After a while, Earl George finally calmed his emotions and asked, "Then you mean, about how many people are suitable?"

"One or two hundred elite level." Chen Xing said lightly, and then added, "The more people there are, the safer the situation of Master Masi will be."

"You..." Earl George's face flushed, and he didn't feel relieved for a long time, and finally sighed like giving up, and said, "Well, I'll give two hundred elite level." His eyes condensed, his face was fierce, and he gritted his teeth. Said, "If anything happens to Marcy, I will fight you desperately!"

"Haha!" Chen Xing laughed, "Don't worry, Earl George, as long as your people are in place, I guarantee Master Marcy's 100% safety!"

"I hope Master Chen can remember today's promise!" After speaking, Earl George waved away, obviously his inner anger was extremely angry, and he suppressed his anger by forcibly and did not make any gaffes.

In the next period of time, Chen Xing frantically ripped off his fingers and extorted a lot of money and talent from the families of these noble children who had joined the expeditionary army.

These family elites are at least quasi-elite, and there are many large elites, well-equipped and strong in combat, and soon they will pull up a force of more than 1,000 people.

Chen Xing quickly dispatched a military police team formed by the family of the Grayhorn City gatelords to increase their control.

There are exceptions to these families that he has been ripping off.

"Commander Chen Xing, you are really an interesting person."

Torres, a handsome boy, came to the door on his own initiative. Also with him was his father, Viscount Ramon.

"I think following you will be the greatest honor and opportunity of my life."

"My father, Viscount Ramon also very much agrees with this view."

"Therefore, our Ramon family will send out all the family troops and contribute one third of the family's total assets to fully support the adults' great cause!"

Chen Xing firmly pressed the shoulders of the father and son, and said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, Viscount Ramon will be the commander-in-chief of the left army!"

"Thank you adults for your love!" Ramon and his son showed excitement and bowed to Chen Xing.

Together with the troops of the Ramon family and the elites from the blackmailed family, a left army of 1,700 people was established.

But the number is far from enough. The size of the group army is 100,000, so we have to continue to think of ways.

That night, Chen Xing came to the No.1 Hall of the Wrights Crown Hotel to attend the officers' cocktail party held every day.

Most of the people who come here are the bottom aristocrats who do not have residences in Monitor Lizard City. Most of them are the mayors of marginal towns, local little nobles, leaders of mercenary groups with knighthoods, merchants interested in investing in the military, and low-level aristocrats who are looking for targets and many more.

"Mr. Mercenary, why are you here!"

In the corner of the hall, Chen Xing ran into Su Xuefei.

Su Xuefei wore a beige ball gown, as fresh and beautiful as ever. When she saw Chen Xing, her eyes bloomed with brilliance, and she seemed to be extremely surprised.
