Chapter 10
After a while, inside the city.
The thirty or so soldiers who were still alive followed Ning Fan to Liu Futong’s residence with a confused look on their faces. They didn’t understand what merit they wanted to ask for.
Killed hundreds of Beimang soldiers?
But they also suffered heavy losses.
In the hall, Liu Futong looked haggard. He had been worried for the past two days.
He was afraid that the Beimang army outside the city would suddenly attack and wipe them out.
He was afraid that the capital would know the news, and His Majesty would be furious and execute him on the spot.
He was afraid that the high and mighty Zhenbei King would overturn the table and rise up with 300,000 tigers and wolves, and first kill him as a sacrifice.
In short, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in the past two days.
“General, Ning Fan and the others are back.”
A centurion brought Ning Fan to the hall and said respectfully.
Liu Futong was stunned and looked at Ning Fan and his men below with some surprise. He didn’t expect that these hundreds of lowly people could come back alive.
That was the Northern Mang grassland. Now there were hundreds of thousands of troops in a fierce situation. Not to mention these lowly people, even if the elite troops went deep into the grassland, they would be like sheep entering the tiger’s mouth.
How could these lowly people survive?
“This general asked you to go and find out the military situation. You have only been away for two days, how come you are back!”
Liu Futong’s face was gloomy and he shouted in a low voice.
In his opinion, these guys must have encountered the Northern Mang roving soldiers, were attacked and killed, suffered heavy losses, and then hurriedly fled back to the city.
As for finding out the military situation, how could they accomplish it?
Liu Futong’s angry shout made everyone below look at each other in bewilderment. They had gained something in the past two days, fighting and killing hundreds of Beimang soldiers.
But it was useless. Liu Futong wanted intelligence!
If they couldn’t provide intelligence, he would definitely take their heads to vent his anger.
“General.”
At this moment, Ning Fan took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it on the ground. The cloth bag was stained with blood, which looked creepy.
The centurion on the side hurried forward and untied the cloth bag. When the cloth bag was untied, hundreds of ears appeared.
“This…”
The centurion’s eyes almost flew out. He looked at the ears on the ground and then looked at Ning Fan, his face full of shock.
A group of lowly people entered the grassland, not only did they not die, but they also brought back hundreds of enemy ears?
This is so unreal!
“This is my merit, the evidence to get rid of the lowly class and restore the good class. Here are some more, which are the results of the dead and living brothers who killed together.”
As he spoke, Ning Fan threw out another cloth bag, but this one was obviously much smaller.
Liu Futong stood up, walked down with deep eyes, came to Ning Fan’s side, looked at the bloody boy in front of him, and suddenly laughed.
“Well, what a hero is born young, this general almost missed it, the others go down.”
Liu Futong waved his hand, and the centurion took the remaining lowly class away.
“Tsk tsk, when did I find a ninth-grade warrior hidden among the lowly class under my command? This really surprised me!”
Liu Futong’s tiger eyes burst out with a cold light, and he looked at Ning Fan with a bit of unkindness.
A lowly class, a ninth-grade warrior?
What a guy who hides his shortcomings!
“I broke through by luck in the grassland.”
Ning Fan was neither humble nor arrogant.
Liu Futong sneered: “Boy, I asked you to find out the military information, not to get military merits. Do you understand what I mean?”
“If you can’t provide military information, your so-called military merits are useless.”
“Don’t say that you can’t restore your good status, even your life will be lost in Liangcheng!”
The successive defeats made Liu Futong very unhappy.
He wanted to kill people to vent his anger!
He couldn’t kill the regular soldiers, but these lowly people… Are the lives of lowly people still lives? Kill one, kill a hundred, do you need a reason?
Ning Fan didn’t say anything, just took out the Beimang defense map from his arms and handed it to Liu Futong.
“What kind of broken thing is this?”
Liu Futong grabbed it in his hand with a bad temper and glanced at it carelessly.
But at this glance, his tiger eyes suddenly shook, as if struck by lightning, and then hurriedly walked to the upper seat and sat down, and looked at it carefully.
The position of the Beimang army was clearly depicted on the defense map, and Liu Futong’s eyes turned red.
“Good, good, good!”
Liu Futong suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, and when he looked at Ning Fan again, his eyes were full of joy.
“Good, you lowly slave!”
“Oh no,
“What’s your name?”
Ning Fan clasped his fists and replied: “Ning Fan”
“Okay, Ning Fan, I declare that from this moment on, you will officially leave your lowly status and become a member of my Southern Expedition Army, and you have made great contributions!”
“I will reward you heavily!”
“You will be a centurion in the Southern Expedition Army!”
Liu Futong laughed.
Centurion!
Is he promoted this time?
Ning Fan was startled, but then he came to his senses and clasped his fists and said: “Thank you for your cultivation, General! ”
In the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a group of ten people is led by one person, the sergeant.
A centurion is a group of ten people, plus soldiers and ten sergeants, commanding a total of 110 people. It doesn’t sound like much, and there is no official position, but for Ning Fan, it is absolutely of great significance.
From a lowly person to a centurion, this is a huge leap in his life, which can be said to be a complete transformation!
“Go down first and have a good rest. I will handle your good registration as soon as possible and deliver it to you tonight, so that you don’t think too much.”
“Also, get to know the captains and captains in the army! ”
A person in charge of 500 people is called a battalion commander.
A person in charge of 1,000 people is called a captain.
When they become battalion commanders or captains, they are real military officers of the imperial court, and their ranks are not low. For example, a captain is already a fifth-rank officer, and his status is extraordinary.
Ning Fan turned and left. He was very satisfied with the result, and of course Liu Futong was also satisfied. It was a happy ending.
Two days on the grassland were really tiring.
For someone like Ning Fan, even if he had a good cultivation and strong flesh and blood, the long-term mental tension also made him a little mentally exhausted.
In the evening, Liu Futong sent someone to deliver Ning Fan’s certificate of good character.
An ordinary certificate of good character, something that every ordinary citizen in the Great Zhou had, was now in Ning Fan’s eyes. But it is extremely precious.
With this thing, he can slowly grow his ambition!
Northern border, Zhenbei Palace.
The Zhenbei King, one of the four kings of different surnames, now has the strength and reputation to overwhelm the heroes.
The 300,000 tigers and wolves under his command have been fighting for years, and the combat power they possess is quite terrifying.
Now, Emperor Tiande is suspicious and has once again pushed the Zhenbei King to the forefront.
Many people thought that the Zhenbei King would be angry and overturn the table of the Great Zhou, and then rise up to attack the world.
But in the end, they were all wrong.
The Zhenbei King and his 300,000 troops seemed to be as well-behaved as kittens.
