Douluo's Drunk Red Dust

The familiar bed made Zui Hongchen reluctant to get up.

There were small white flowers blooming in the vase on the bedside table. He sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.

Yesterday, he informed Wang Laoshi, the chief steward of the Viscount's Mansion, about today's plan. Under his arrangement, two beautiful maids knocked on the door and entered the room to wash Zui Hongchen.

Zui Hongchen closed his eyes as a matter of course, and waited until the warm towel wiped away the last trace of tiredness.

This morning he will go to the camp outside the city to meet Sun Er, who is commanding the troops for him, and to review the current appearance of Dingling Guard.

After taking off the sword hanging on the wall, Zui Hongchen walked out of the room wearing black and white attire and high-collar military boots.

At this time, the sky is still bright, and it is still early before the sun rises. Everyone in the Tang Sect is sleeping. No one will get up at this time, even if they practice the Purple Demon Eyes, it will not be so early.

"Master."

Wang Laoshi held Obsidian, Zui Hongchen patted the horse's neck, turned over and jumped on the horse.

"Master, you haven't had breakfast yet."

"I'll go to the barracks to eat, including lunch. You don't have to wait for me."

"drive!"

Obsidian took his front hooves, and Zui Hongchen faced the early morning breeze as he hurried along the street.

The Dingling Guards of Viscount Dingling did not usually live in the city. They established a stronghold in the mountains outside the city. They were very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Sun Er, who had been a soldier, was responsible for all the planning.

There are three meals a day, and each meal will have meat. This kind of meal scale is only enjoyed by the three major soul engineer groups of the Sun and Moon Empire. The ordinary soul engineer groups and soldiers only have meat for two meals a day.

after all. . .Raising an army is expensive.

Soldiers need to be paid military pay. The military pay for ordinary legions that Zui Hongchen knows is only four silver soul coins a month. If Huo Yuhao sells a grilled fish for five copper soul coins, one silver soul coin is equal to ten copper coins. An ordinary person One month of being a soldier only allowed me to buy 8 pieces of grilled fish.

Who does this?The saying that being a soldier is worse than farming is not for nothing.

Now that every empire wants to focus on soul masters, raising an ordinary army is a real waste of people and money.Of course, it was different during the war. At that time, it was necessary to go to school even if you didn’t want to.

At least he knew that the Star Luo Empire's Western Army spent a terrifying amount of soul coins and supplies every year.

In order to attract ambitious people to become members of the Dingling Guard, Zui Hongchen raised the military salary of four silver soul coins to fifteen silver soul coins with a wave of his hand. It was not too high, and it was much higher than the four silver soul coins provided by the ordinary army. few.

He has a source of income from the food court, and at the same time, he also has a large amount of gold and silver jewelry rewarded by the Emperor of the Sun and Moon in his treasury. There is no problem in raising an army temporarily.

The horse speeded up, and the refreshing cool breeze blew away Zui Hongchen's thoughts. The horse's hooves sounded crisply on the ancient road. After leaving the city gate, he followed the river all the way up. Soon he saw the mountains in the distance not far away. military camp.

"drink!"

"drink!"

This loud and energetic drill sound cannot be heard in the city. On the flat training ground, there are dense crowds of people, shirtless and waving heavy spears.

There were only a hundred people in Dingling Guard two years ago, but now the number has exceeded a thousand.

Anyone with a title has military power. Zui Hongchen knew that when Song Ziqing was studying at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the Song family trained the Song family army in Qiangu City in the name of his disciple.

As he got closer, the soldiers on guard immediately spotted his figure and stepped forward with a long knife in their hands, "This is an important military area, and no one can wait... Sir!"

At the end of the sentence, the soldier seemed to recognize Zui Hongchen and immediately saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers haven't had breakfast yet."

Zui Hongchen dismounted and nodded.

"Yes, we are still practicing in alternate mornings." The soldier replied meticulously, "It will be our turn soon."

"it is good."

Zui Hongchen entered the camp without attracting anyone's attention, and soon found Sun Er on the general stage. When the latter saw him, surprise burst out in his eyes.

Sun Er said a few words to the adjutant beside him, then quickly walked down the high platform and came to Zui Hongchen. He smiled happily and said, "It's been a while since we last met. The young master has grown up a lot. His face is even more handsome. I'm fascinated by it." There are quite a few girls.”

He patted Zui Hongchen on the shoulder and looked him up and down. Sun Er and Wang Laoshi were both elders who had watched him grow up, so naturally they were filled with emotion when they met again.

"Uncle Sun, stop joking. It's better to call me Drunk Boy." Zui Hongchen couldn't help but smile. Sun Er looked much more majestic, and even had a little beard. He was rough and didn't look angry or intimidating.

"Haha, after all, I am still working under the young master."

Sun Er whispered, and then his face straightened, "Master, there are currently 1000 or 13 Dingling Guards in total. Riding horses, archery, and forming formations are their daily training goals."

"Situ Yu joined the army a month ago. The soul guide team has a total of 91 people. The average soul power is at the level of a great soul master."

Zui Hongchen nodded when he heard this. Everything is difficult at the beginning. To be honest, the number of 91 people in the soul guide team was beyond his expectation, and many of the Dingling Guards were brought by him when he broke through the Beiyuan tribe. A veteran who has experienced battles naturally knows the importance of the three training standards mentioned by Sun Er. With the attitude of practicing to death, he is quite satisfied with the current situation of Dingling Guard.

"Master, are you here today because of the murder case outside Dingling City?"

Zui Hongchen nodded. He was ready to open the skylight and speak out from the beginning, "Yes, the recent serial murder and kidnapping cases in Nanyang Prefecture occurred outside Dingling City yesterday. They are either still in Dingling City, or Lurking in the towns outside the city, they haven’t gone far yet.”

"Master, do you have any idea who they are?"

The two of them communicated softly while walking up to the general stand. The adjutants on the high platform showed a little excitement when they saw Zui Hongchen's figure, and they saluted him one after another.

Sun Er followed closely behind him, and a word reached his ears.

"Has the new Ding Lingwei ever fought in actual combat?"

"Yes, I have annihilated thieves gangs near Dingling City several times." Sun Er replied after hearing this.

Zui Hongchen hummed, "The opponents this time are a bit tricky. They are likely to be evil soul masters. The safety of the Dingling Guards is the first factor. Where is Situ Yu? A soul guide team may be needed for an annihilation battle of this level. "

When they heard the word evil soul master, both Sun Er and the other lieutenants' faces froze, and some even showed fear, "Oh, it turns out it's the evil soul master..."

Sun Er took a deep breath, knowing that the test facing Ding Lingwei was coming.

"My Dingling Guards can't even defeat a group of evil soul masters. Will they be serving food when they go to the battlefield in the future?"
