mechanical court

"I...I...I..."

The financial officer knelt down on the floor trembling, muttering like dead ashes, unable to utter a word.I don't know if it's because of fishing too much oil and water, but this man's physique is extremely fat, and his cheeks can hang down into bulging leather bags.Kneeling on the ground now, it looks like a trembling flesh worm, with an indescribably shameful face.

"Can't tell, can you? If you don't say it, I can say it!"

Seeing his bloated and incompetent appearance, Yiwen became even more furious, and yelled, "Come on! Drag this moth out and hang him! All his property will be confiscated, his wife and daughter will be demoted to temple holy prostitutes, and all men will be exiled." Go to the Red Sea to serve corvée, and you will not be released for life!"

"..."

The treasurer trembled suddenly, almost collapsed on the ground, raised his head with all his strength, and begged with a pale expression: "Your Majesty! I am the only one who made a mistake. You can't destroy the Herodotus family! Pray for God's grace, pray God's grace!"

Before he could read it a second time, two heavily armed crowned knights rushed in, grabbed his arms from left to right, and dragged him out of the court like a fat pig.

"Your Majesty! The Herodotus family has been loyal to the royal court for generations, praying for God's favor, praying for God's favor!" The treasurer was captured by the crowned knight, unable to struggle, and could only beg hoarsely.

"..."

Ivan stood behind the desk, watched the other party go away coldly, glanced at the account book on the floor, and let out a slow breath: "All generations of loyalty to the royal court? It seems that you have not only saved one generation, but killing you is considered a light."

After the financial officer's begging cries completely disappeared, he sat back in the high-backed chair and continued to write the artillery training course, the bazooka use course, and the light armored vehicle use course in hieroglyphs.

After finishing writing, he planned to print these tutorials into booklets and distribute them to a group of smart and willing guards.Then let them go to the space fortress to practice for a period of time, and when they have achieved something in their studies, they will be the first batch of artillery and armored vehicle instructors in the empire.

"Artillery soldiers must have certain mathematical knowledge to calculate ballistic trajectories. This is similar to ballistas. The Empire has such talents in reserve. But armored vehicle drivers are more troublesome. In addition to being able to drive, they also need to have certain skills. Maintenance knowledge. It will definitely not be possible in a short time... It seems that a training class must be set up in Wangcheng, and the instructors should be hired from the armed personnel of the consortium."

While thinking about what to do, Ivan quickly finished transcribing the content, and fell into deep thought when he finished writing:

"The crash course belongs to the crash course, but a serious school also needs to be established. We can first recruit a group of elite talents and give them to Xiaoxi for training. At the same time, we will hire dozens of retired educators from the federal government with high salaries and ask them to help. Compile teaching materials. Then let this group of people teach a group of qualified teachers, and then I will be able to open the imperial examination logically and run on the power of the aristocratic group."

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of Lenny's brisk footsteps outside the door, and he came back to his senses.

"His Majesty!"

Taking a step forward in the high-heeled leather boots, Renee bowed in the direction of the desk and saluted: "As for the residence of the royal family and the station of the Paladins, you still need to approve it yourself."

"Where do you plan to arrange them?" Ivan put down the pen in his hand.

"The inner city is impossible. The land here is expensive and the population is crowded. We don't have enough money to accommodate [-] royal families. Therefore, I suggest that the royal family be placed in the outskirts near the Temple of Hades, open up the wasteland there to expand the city, and then build a I will give them a residence. As for the station of the Holy Army...I think it is better to arrange it outside the city, so as to deter Xiaoxiao and avoid touching the sensitive nerves of the nobles." The female adjutant dragged out her thoughts.

"Well... take me to see these two places later." Ivan nodded slightly.

"Also... about the Demon Hunt Squad..."

Reni's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, she glanced at him hesitantly, and said hesitantly:

"I know you have your considerations, but such a large-scale recruitment of elites may cause a lack of local defense. Once the outbreak of fear beasts cannot be contained, it is likely to cause them to join together and form a large-scale disaster. If things turned out that way, the empire would suffer a huge loss of population and wealth..."

"You seem to have misunderstood me. The elite I'm talking about is not the main force of the demon hunting teams from all over the world."

Ivan took out a sign list of Thebes Oasis from the drawer, and sent it to the other party with telekinetic power: "Can apprentice demon hunters aged 14 to 15 be considered the main force? The banner of war is to occupy the absolute righteousness, whoever dares to oppose me now is to oppose the demon hunting war, and then against humanity!"

"I see……"

Renee took the list, read it carefully, and asked in surprise and joy: "So, are you recruiting this group of trainee demon hunters just for bluff?"

"Bluuf? I'm here for the bravado."

Ivan slowly raised his right hand, 'Ka Ka Ka' into a fist, and there was a faint golden arc splashing between the fingers: "The main purpose of summoning this group of demon hunters from the new force is to distribute the strongest thought power training method to them. You probably don't know that in the world where I studied abroad, all kinds of secret skills for training mind power are taught publicly, and each of them surpasses the rubbish they practice."

"There is such a thing..."

Renee turned her face away with a blushing face, quickly calmed down, and said pretending to be calm: "Then His Majesty should also teach us these secret skills. Compared with the Demon Hunt Squad, we are the backbone of the royal court."

"Isn't this still being translated..."

Yiwen grabbed the air with his left hand and pulled back the call sheet from her hand: "After all the translations are finished, I will build a public library, and everyone can freely browse through the mind power secrets inside."

"It's simply unimaginable... But if this is done, will it bring about security problems?" Renee thinks long-term, and has already considered the burden of maintaining stability after the proliferation of mind-power holders.

"Is law and order important, or dealing with fear beasts?" Ivan asked.

"Of course it's important to deal with fear beasts!" Renee blurted out.

"That's it...there is no good thing in the world that has the best of both worlds. As long as the fear beast can be eliminated, I don't mind having a headache for security in the future." Ivan said calmly, pointing to his temple.

Chapter 12 Camp

Ekhtaden, ten minutes at noon.

Ivan and Renee walked to the courtyard outside the office one after the other, and the solar chariot pulled by eight golden horses had already stopped at the bottom of the stairs and waited for a long time.

The open-top-style golden carriages are engraved with pictures of gold and iron horses, as if infused with the essence of an epic, giving people a sense of sacredness and solemnity when viewed from a distance.On both sides of the carriage seats are lion-shaped armrests with roaring mustaches. The length of the seat can accommodate two people, and it is covered with a thick layer of red upholstery.

"It's been a long time, the last time I took this car was more than four years ago..."

Ivan walked down the steps, looked at the golden war horse with a mane like a lion in front of him, and quickly recalled the memories of the past.

When they met for the first time, the eight golden war horses were arrogant, not only showing a contemptuous attitude, but also raised their hooves and smashed the floor to demonstrate to him.It made him almost make a fool of himself in front of Elulome, and he had to use the Sun Gold Sutra to suppress it violently, and finally managed to manage it.

But this time, the eight golden warhorses seemed to feel the vast sea of ​​light energy in his body, not only showed no temper at all, but also lowered their heads in a subdued manner.

"Have you become better?"

Ivan touched the mane of the war horse nearby, and the latter narrowed his eyes like red carbon balls, showing a look of enjoyment.

"This is so much cuter!"

He walked onto the carriage along the steps laid by the servant, sat down with a sword and horse, and waved to Renee: "I really miss it when I think about it. Last time, you accompanied me in the carriage. Come up together this time."

"……Yes!"

Renee's expression froze unnaturally, and she responded with a shy answer, then stepped onto the platform in front of the carriage and grabbed the reins.

"set off!"

As Ivan's words fell, he turned around in the courtyard of the Sun Royal Chariot and ran on a wide straight road.It started to run up like an airplane flying, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Wisps of thick flames emanated from the wheels, and they were cushioned under the wheels as if they had substance.

Whoosh-!

The golden war horse stepped on the flames, suddenly left the ground, and flew into the sky with a trail of flames.

……

The chariot of the sun galloped in the sky, with burning tracks like golden threads on both sides of the wheels, the soft afternoon sun filled the sky, and the neighing of war horses pierced through the sky.In the endless sea of ​​clouds, the burning sun chariot is like a flaming meteor, leaving a golden and shining golden trail through the clouds.

Ivan clenched the armrest with one hand, leaned half of his body on it, and looked down at the scenery below.I just feel that the urban area is retreating rapidly as if being washed away by a flood, and the rumbling wind around is like thunder.But there was no wind pressure in the carriage, it seemed that it was completely isolated by the flames surrounding the imperial chariot, and there was only a soft breeze blowing to him.

The female adjutant was standing on the platform in front of the carriage holding the reins, her clothes fluttering, and the golden sun was in front of her, which gilded her military uniform with brilliant gold.
