Chapter 207: Chapter 206: The Wise Marshal Rox
Translator: 549690339
On the fifth day of their journey, the army finally arrived at the largest courier station outside of the imperial capital. The personnel at the Courier station had already sent more people early and prepared enough delicacies and drinks to entertain these victorious returning soldiers.
Actually, it was noon when they arrived at the courier station. They were only four to five hours away from the imperial capital. The soldiers gritted their teeth. They could return to the imperial capital before nightfall, but in reality.., the emperor would usually not allow the soldiers to enter the city just like that.
Just like in previous years, the soldiers who returned from victory would usually rest outside for a day. They would eat and drink to their heart’s content, rest up, and wash up. Fortunately, they would be able to face the cheering crowd with their best spirits the next day, after all, a hero had to look like a hero!
Although this was a tragic victory, it was precisely because of this that the empire had to pay more attention to the image of the soldiers. They had to put the halo of glory to the greatest extent. They had to let the citizens of the empire, those hot-blooded youths who were eager to obtain fame and glory on the horses, see.., the most glorious aspect of these soldiers and soldiers!
Only by doing so would they be able to ignore the cruelty of the battlefield, and only then would they be able to plant the seeds of their hot-blooded desire to join the army in their hearts!
As for the cruelty of war and the bitterness of the battlefield, these were things that the soldiers had to popularize after joining the army. This could not be the case with the outside world. The outside world had to be able to let them see the bright and beautiful side.., to see those triumphant return, to accept the worship of the people, from a crew-cut boy step by step into the blood of the Empire’s heroes!
Under these circ.u.mstances, how can we possibly let the soldiers go back with their faces covered in dirt?
————
The dinner served to the soldiers was very sumptuous, with lots of roast meat and wine, melons, peaches, plum blossoms, and all kinds of freshly squeezed juice, dazzling brother dog and Pu Yunchuan, along the way, smelling the overflowing barbecued meat and the aroma of freshly baked bread, the two of them only felt their forefingers move!
Unlike the other illegitimate children who wanted to sit close to the middle with the high-ranking officers, Brother Dog and Pu Yunchuan chose a corner seat and sat with the ordinary soldiers, the table was filled with all kinds of unknown meat steaks and sauces. Pu Yunchuan also scooped up a large barbecued bird and placed it in the middle. It looked a little like a magnified Turkey.
The atmosphere during the meal was especially good. The soldiers at the bottom did not like to pay attention to their image. Although they could not drink much because they had to make an appearance tomorrow, the warm atmosphere was still not something that the big shots in the middle could compare to.
Brother Dog ate the meat steaks with relish and listened to the stories of the soldiers bragging about war, hunting, and adultery. He felt that it was unusually interesting. Pu Yunchuan focused on eliminating the food in front of him, he had almost killed half of the enlarged Turkey by himself.
This made brother dog a little surprised. Before coming here, in order to not attract too much attention to his green t.i.tan’s appet.i.te, both of them had eaten nutrient solution as a base, but he did not expect that this fellow could still eat so much…
This could not help but remind him of the Alaska that his mother had raised in the past. He felt that no matter how much dog food was fed every day, it seemed to be able to eat it… …
However, whether he should say it or not, the taste of the food was indeed not bad. The meat was of excellent quality. The species in this plane were a level higher than Ball D, and there weren’t that many feeds, catalysts, and other miscellaneous things.., it made every kind of meat taste exceptionally delicious.
Although it couldn’t compare to the high-level species that were cultivated in the base, it was much more powerful than the top-grade steaks that brother dog had eaten on Ball D.
These fruits were also exceptionally sweet. When he ate them, he felt like his mouth was about to explode. He also found his lady sunny’s favorite purple cherry fruit inside. It was sour and sweet, and it tasted really good, no wonder that Little Freckle liked it so much…
This made brother dog want to conquer his own territory more and more. He wanted to raise some natural livestock in his territory and plant large orchards, so that the people who liked it could eat whatever they wanted to eat…
“Hey, did you partic.i.p.ate in the voting?”Pu Yunchuan finally stopped after killing more than ten meat steaks and half a turkey, and began to chat.
“I voted, elf city style…”brother dog said in a low voice, trying his best not to let their conversation attract the attention of the people around them.
“AH… “Why do you all like this?”Pu Yunchuan pursed his lips and said, “I just feel that the city template of Sky Garden is pretty good. It’s too d.a.m.n cool. If only everything here is real. In the future, I will definitely buy a villa of my own in that kind of city. I will let those guys who post villas on Douyin, station B, wechat moments, and luxury car photos know what it means to be cool “! !”
Another slow-witted guy… “…”. Brother Dog curled his lips slightly and said, “Why don’t you fight a city here and then build the style you want? Wouldn’t that be more awesome?”
At this point, Brother Dog began to fantasize in his heart. If he were to run a city later, what style would he build? What style would freckles like?
“Eh, that makes sense, dog! !”Pu Yunchuan suddenly realized. “HMM, I’ve made up my mind. I must become a Duke in this mission! !”
As this guy was too excited, his voice was a little loud. Immediately, the surrounding soldiers who were bragging quieted down and stared blankly at the two of them.
Although the people sitting here were all boorish and didn’t pay attention to what they said, 99% of the bragging was made up by them. For example, if they killed a minotaur.., or if they had killed a high-level beast species or something like that. There was even an engineer who had gotten drunk and started bragging about how he had killed a team of wolf cavalry soldiers.
However, there was really no one as high-profile as Pu Yunchuan who actually said that he wanted to be a duke. Moreover, the position that he was pointing at was the position that Marshal Rox was sitting on. That posture.., it was somewhat similar to the arrogant words of the overlord of Western Chu back then: he would definitely replace him.
Because of this, the entire banquet slowly quieted down. Over 10,000 soldiers noticed this little fatty… …
Brother Dog immediately covered his head and secretly felt that things were not looking good.
The high-ranking officers who were sitting in the middle were also stunned. Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, on the other hand, did not hesitate to show a gloating expression after their shock.
Just now, they had humbly tried to get close to these high-ranking officers and build a relationship with them, but most of them were treated coldly. They did not want to bother with them at all, especially Shi senming.., it was unknown who had exposed the dirt about him betraying his old master, causing him to be ridiculed and ridiculed when he tried to get in touch with those military officers.
Just when he was full of anger, he saw a guy who made a fool of himself and immediately found an outlet to vent his anger. Just when he was about to sneer and make a sarcastic sarcastic remark.., rox, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly burst out in a forthright laughter.
Then, he raised his wine gla.s.s and said loudly, “Hahaha, good, you are ambitious! Come, let us toast the future Duke!”
Seeing that their boss had started to jeer, the strange atmosphere around them instantly melted into laughter. The group of people also jeered, “To the future Duke! !”
“Well said, well said, Wahahahaha!”Pu Yunchuan laughed proudly, which was not modest at all, making the atmosphere even more cheerful. This made the illegitimate children stunned, but also made brother dog speechless.
It seemed that those days of bribing the instant noodles were still very meaningful… …
Thinking of this, Brother Dog quietly took out the popular address given to him by Uncle David, wondering if he should just send a box of instant noodles through the back door. This was less risky than inviting a popular person…
But at this time, he did not notice that not far away, Shi senming looked at him who took out the note, and a sneer with malicious intent appeared on his face.
