The Origin of Arcane

grown ups

lady.

Miss.

While speaking, a medium-sized mountain city appeared in front of the group of people.

The gate of the mountain city was wide open, and both sides were crowded with dark crowds.

There are various ways of greeting, including the standard Yongye military salute, bowing salute, and chest touching salute.

The same is the excited and eager eyes looking at Sean and the others.

The leader is a tall Andean man with dark face, white temples, and piercing eyes, aged between middle-aged and old. His arms and legs are thicker than ordinary people, and his finger joints are thick , at a glance, you know that you are a mountain hunter who walks the mountain road all the year round and drives a strong bow.

This person's name is Upton, and he is the head of the Mountain Patrol Guard. He can also be regarded as a mid-to-high-ranking officer in the leadership of the Yongye Army. He once went to the consciousness space of the northern fortress to study, and he is quite familiar with Xiao En. .

Commander Upton, long time no see. Sean had already dismounted when he was more than 20 steps away from the city gate, Didn't my orderly convey my meaning in place? There is no need for such a big fanfare !

The communication was in place, the communication was in place, but I didn't implement it in place. As soon as these citizens heard that the lord was coming, they ran over to watch the excitement. We couldn't stop it. It's because I didn't do a good job of keeping secrets. To the lord, to the lady , have added many undue safety hazards to the lady, and please punish the lord. Captain Upton rubbed his big rough hands, his big dark face was full of shame.

I don't have any concerns about safety, I just don't want to waste people and money. Forget it, their feelings are understandable. I don't hold you accountable, and you don't embarrass them afterwards. Sean also knew that he walked all the way and did not cause any trouble. Sensation, that's wishful thinking.

In the eyes of these leaders, they cherish themselves more than rare animals that are rarely seen in a hundred years.

Whether it's out of respect and love for myself, or out of curiosity, it's really normal for people to automatically gather over when they hear the news of their passing by.

It's natural. They came to welcome the lord, completely respecting and loving the lord, how can I make trouble for them? Captain Upton shook his head again and again, My lord, please, are you here? It’s the first time to come to our Jianling, come to the headquarters of our mountain guards, I will show you around, and guide our work by the way.”

Lead the way ahead. Sean was not polite this time.

He came to the mountain guard team this time, really with a purpose.

You must know that Jianling is not on their only path, and Xiao En has made a big detour by going this way.

In the case of Jianling, it is the standard old wine in new bottles.

To say it is an old bottle refers to its origin.

It was one of the three holes and eight cities of the old Andean forces before the rise of the Yongye army leader. It has the longest history and the best preserved old view.

Such as Shangshui City, Xiashui City, Sishui City and so on.

Either they were completely submerged under the river after the reflow of the Jacob River, or as the water level of the Andes inland lake dropped sharply, they became rugged mountain cities and were abandoned one after another.

There are also places like Haiyin, Sanyue, and Jiuquan with excellent geographical locations, which have become the focus of the reconstruction of the Yongye army leader. Not to mention the original residence, even the surrounding geographical environment has been artificially transformed a lot.

Even those who were born and raised there, if they left twenty years ago, would not recognize their former hometown if they had to go back so suddenly.

As for the new wine.

Although this is still the same Jianling City, 60 to 70% of the people living here are not the original residents.

Under the continuous propaganda and agitation of the Yongye Army Leader, most of the residents left their original homes and went to the more convenient and richer Andes Basin to build new homes.

It was once in decline and almost abandoned.

As for the reason, you can tell by its name. The place is backed by a mountain, like a great sword drawn out of its sheath. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In chaotic times, it is definitely a natural shelter.

But being in the core hinterland of a territory, its usefulness is greatly reduced.

Especially for the Yong Ye army leader who attaches great importance to the convenience of transportation, the difficulty of building roads is too high, and over time, it will naturally be abandoned.

However, with the frequent occurrence of wild beasts returning to ancient times and the establishment of the Mountain Patrol Guard, this place has gradually been used again. After the opening of the magic tractor, it has been positioned as the headquarters of the Mountain Patrol Guard.

This happens also because of geographical location.

The research of the relevant departments of the Yongye Army Command shows that the magic energy is the main reason for the beast to return to the ancient mutation.

The higher the concentration of magic energy in their living environment, the greater the chance of the beasts returning to ancient times to mutate.

The development and application of spell energy in the northern fortress, the development of magic farmland, and the use of magic tractors, etc., have all led to a rapid increase in the concentration of spells in the surrounding area, making the mountainous area between the northern fortress and New Brissand an important place for living beings to return to. The hardest hit area of ​​paleovariation.

And Jianling is located in the center, just overlooking the entire area, which is convenient for the patrolling guards to patrol the mountain and hunt those ancient mutant beasts.

The opening of the magic tractor has made up for the last shortcoming of Jianling.

Jianling has its own transfer station and a small three-box magic tractor, which can transport people and goods, basically solving the problem of entering and exiting Jianling.

With the development of military leaders, the functions of the patrolling guards are also subtly changing.

From the beginning, protect the scattered villages and hunt down the ancient mutant beasts that pose a threat to the safety of the villagers.

Slowly guarding the roads in the territory, Jin Qing arrests the existence of surrounding threats.

This kind of threat is not limited to wild animals, but also includes corrupt elements such as bandits, road tyrants, and road bandits.

The internal security of the Yong Ye Army Leader is only a little better than other Army Leaders, and there is still a long way to go before Lubu picks up lost items.

Even the Yong Ye Army Leader has been established for nearly twenty years and has spared no effort to promote its own policies.

There are still cases where the Andis people don't know what the Eternal Night Army Leader is and who Sean is, let alone abide by the Eternal Night Army Leader's laws.

Of course, this is a rare case.

With the opening of the magic tractor, there is one more focus of inspection for the mountain patrol team - the surrounding area of ​​the underground energy channel.

The characteristics of the ancient mutant beasts make them have a strong tendency to the environment with a relatively high concentration of magical energy.

It's just that simple predators can return to ancient mutant beasts, but I'm afraid that moles, gophers and other beasts that can make holes will mutate and make holes around the underground energy channels, thus posing a threat to the safety of the magic tractor. .

This is the Jianfeng Watchtower. It is the highest peak within 100 kilometers. It has a good view. It is equipped with four high-power telescopes. There are twelve people on duty all the year round. Once you find the surrounding smoke, Jianfeng can Respond immediately, and the efficiency of the response is higher than that of Shanying. Captain Upton introduced in a proud tone.

Very good. Xiao En praised while fiddling with a high-powered binoculars and observing the situation in the surrounding mountains: You have combined the method of hunting and fixed-point garrison, which is worth promoting. The responsibilities on your shoulders will only become heavier and heavier. From the statistical reports you submit every year, it can be seen that the frequency of monsters appearing is getting higher and higher, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. Keep up with the pace of continuous development, so as to better protect the safety of the people.

The lord's instruction is that we do have some practical difficulties in terms of personnel expansion. Captain Upton seemed hesitant to speak.

Let's listen to it. Sean's face sank like water.

Captain Upton rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said: The main issue is the establishment. In the past few years, the regular army of our mountain guards is not considered a regular army, the local army is not considered a local army, and even the garrison is not counted. The original main members were seasoned hunters who couldn't adapt to the army. They didn't care about this, but young people couldn't.

There are too many choices for them. The smart ones all go to the academy city to study. The stupid ones, the first direction of effort is to join the major legions. No matter how bad they are, they will choose to become merchants or join factories. There are really not many young people who are willing to do the hard, tiring, and boring work of hunting.

In the past few years, our mountain patrol team has not had many new blood.

If this situation continues, the old group of mountain patrol guards will die, get injured, disabled, old, and old. After one after another, they can't run anymore, but there will be a big gap.

This matter is really beyond the scope of what I can solve, please also ask the lord to learn from it.

If the lord thinks that the mountain guards are still useful and worth keeping, would you adjust some policies and give us some support?

I know something about this matter, and it is one of the purposes of my trip. Sean walked back and forth two steps, Has the leader ever considered the real reason why the mountain guards are so weak?

Forgive me for my bluntness, I failed to understand the meaning of the Lord Lord's words. Captain Upton looked puzzled.

The reluctance of today's young people to join the Mountain Patrol Team is the direct cause of your lack of acceptance, but it is not the root cause. Xiao En said while thinking, It may not sound good to say it, but there is an indisputable fact. The Mountain Patrol Guard is an imperfect product of the military leader's development process, and what really makes the Mountain Patrol Guard's failure is the existing mode of operation of the Mountain Patrol Guard, which can't keep up with the development speed of the military leader.

He looked up at Commander Upton with a somewhat astonished expression and said, Commander, don't get me wrong, I didn't deny the contribution of the Mountain Patrol Guards to the military leader, and its role in stabilizing the military leader. The current mode of operation of the escort is somewhat out of touch with the overall operation of the military leader, and overlaps with the functions of the increasingly perfect municipal security system. If I remember correctly, only last year, the mountain patrol escort was arrested There were no less than ten conflicts with local police officers over rights issues.”

This is my dereliction of duty, please punish the lord. Captain Upton sweated and confessed.

I'm not here to seek responsibility. Sean waved his hands and said, This kind of thing cannot be generalized, and it is wrong to place all the responsibility on you. Maybe there is something wrong with the actions of the local security personnel, but the fundamental responsibility lies with you. The territorial policy itself has loopholes in the unclear division of responsibilities.

It's just that the head has not considered the future of the Mountain Patrol Guard? The municipal security system is the future trend of military leaders. The main responsibility of this system is to maintain local law and order. The ancient mutation incident you are in charge of now is a kind of local security. Once the municipal security system is perfected, you will be useless In the land of martial arts, the military leader will not support two teams because of the same thing. At that time, it will not become a problem of the past, but will have to face disbandment and banning.

Captain Upton said with a hearty smile: I heard the lord say this when the Mountain Patrol Guard was first established. I didn't believe it at the time, but with the continuous development of the territory, it really confirmed the lord. In other words, we are already mentally prepared.

The territory needs us for a day, and we will patrol the mountains and protect the roads for a day.

When the territory no longer needs us, the lord only needs a word, and we will put down our bows, put away our knives, recall our hounds, and return to the fields.

If he really couldn't stay idle, he took the initiative to find a deserted mountain and continue to guard the mountain for the lord.

There are so many mountains in our territory, it is impossible for them all to be occupied by towns, right?

It is man-made, as long as you think about it, there is always a place to shine.

The leader's loyalty to the territory is really touching. Xiao En said highly affirmatively, But there is no precedent in our territory for meritorious ministers to shed blood and tears, let alone you guarding this land for many years , has a wealth of experience, and it cannot be buried in vain.

How about this, when the military meeting is held at the end of this year, the main person in charge of the mountain patrol guards and the municipal security system will meet to further clarify the division of responsibilities and at the same time learn from each other's strengths and develop together.

The municipal security system has a complete personnel supply mechanism that you don't have, and you can properly recruit new personnel from there.

I believe that the municipal security system also needs your rich field experience, and some work can even be done together. After all, we are all fighting for the same goal to let the citizens live a better life. This will never change. .

If this is possible, it would be great, thank you Lord Lord. Captain Upton said happily.

Xiao En's statement just now is tantamount to officially putting the Mountain Patrol Guard and the Municipal Guard in the same position, and there is a faint intention to combine the two.

Just to take care of my own face and emotions, I didn't say it directly.

This might be a way out for the mountain guards.

Although some of their responsibilities conflict with the Municipal Guard.

But their focus is different.

The municipal garrison mainly maintains the internal law and order of the town, mainly targeting people.

The main duty of the mountain guards is in the wild, mainly targeting monsters and beasts, and then humans.

The combination of the two, one inside and one outside, can guarantee the internal security of the military leader to the greatest extent.
