Chapter 145
Gray space recruits people, Philip's automatic washing machine.
On this day, the Gray Clothes Army's garrison was unprecedentedly lively because of these two things. Of course, in terms of attraction, the latter is undoubtedly greater. This is almost a subversion of ideas!
As for clothes, of course, you have to wash them by hand. This is a consensus among people in another world for thousands of years. But now after seeing this washing machine that automatically rotates to remove dirt from clothes, this consensus has been broken.
This is an epoch-making alchemy item—this is the external evaluation Philip conveyed to Donn.
According to Philip, he bought the washing machine at an auction house in Brandu, and it was only one at that time. Later, merchant groups kept transporting this thing, and soon there was almost one with wealthy families in the city. The difference was that the public used a cheap version, which was not so delicate in appearance and had no dehydration function. The nobles made it with precious materials and could quickly dehydrate.
During that time, this washing machine almost became synonymous with fashion in the imperial capital. If any noble family didn't have it, they would be embarrassed to attend the party, because the conversations were all about this thing.
So soon, the source of this washing machine was also rumored. It is said that it was invented by a small town in the south, a merchant group called Yatang. The merchant group quickly accumulated wealth because of this and became one of the well-known merchant groups in the country.
The lively station of course also alarmed Luosha and the others who had just walked out of the tent. In addition to being amazed by this thing, Philip also got Joshia's thanks as he wished. Because of this, the former was in a state of madness for almost the afternoon.
That arrogant look made David and the others wonder if they wanted to find some time to put this guy in a sack and slapped him in a remote corner to cool down...
The freshness of the gray-clothed military and civilians did not pass so quickly. In the next few days, almost this topic was reported in the station. Until one day at noon, the washing machine made an abnormally harsh sound, and then completely stopped rotating.
The aunt who was using it was so scared that she was confused by the movement. Philip, who came, checked it for a little while, but had no choice but to declare that the washing machine was broken.
Of course, the washing machine will not be so easy to damage, not to mention that Philip is still a high-end product. But no matter how advanced it is, it cannot be used endlessly. You should know that in the past few days, the people of the gray-clothed army have almost never stopped the washing machine from spinning.
Amid the regret of everyone, the washing machine was towed away by the carriage called by Philip. It is said that this high-end product has several free repair opportunities.
In these silent days, the gray space team completed the elimination of personnel and officially included 30 team members. Then Tang En carried out training without stopping and pulled the thirty people into the wilderness outside the garrison. Therefore, the gray-clothed soldiers and civilians could always hear the cunning howls coming from afar from time to time. Needless to say, Tang En's image was once again blackened...
The negotiations between Luosha and the others were also in a difficult situation. It was easy to determine food and cotton cloth, but the armor and weapons were very sensitive, so the process was extremely slow.
But all this cannot stop a new topic from arriving, that is, Joshia and Borg.
At first, it seemed that someone accidentally eavesdropped on the old nobles' muttering that if these two were not, the negotiation would have reduced the loss by at least half. After the rumors gradually spread, the reduced loss by half became half, and then became half...
The rumors are getting more and more exaggerated, and the names of Joshia and Borg are becoming more and more in the hearts of the gray-clothed military people.
In the end, it seemed that the negotiation was a confrontation between Joshia and Borg and the old nobles. Of course, this was not the case, but Losha and the others were collectively silent. Even when Luosha was chatting with others, he was still praising Joshia and the others.
Afterwards, it seemed like an invisible master manipulated it, and the rumors about these two men became more and more numerous. The highlights of any negotiation were quickly spread and magnified...
The Grey Army's Double Star was named, but it was soon passed down by word of mouth among the people.
Among them, Joshia has the most praises and her rumors are the most widespread. What is strongly interrupting the other party’s delay, sharply pointing out traps and flaws, etc. Coupled with her original good image, it didn’t take long for Joshia to have a separate title - Xiao Luosha!
Luosha has the highest position in the hearts of the people of the gray-clothed army. Whether it was the bravery of the gray-clothed army when it was on the verge of disbandment, or the success of leading everyone to break through every encirclement and suppression... This made everyone have a clear idea. No one in the gray-clothed army can do it, but it can't be without Luosha!
Now that Joshia has received the title of "Little Losha", that is undoubtedly a high evaluation and honor.
It can be said that as the negotiation time continues to grow, the reputation of Joshia and his two people is gradually growing.
However, Joshia, the person involved, didn't feel anything. She is troubled by the progress of negotiations on armor and weapons and military equipment all day long, and she has no time and energy to pay attention to these things. She is just occasionally surprised at how strange the eyes of everyone's eyes when they look at her...
Joshia once took the time to ask Tang En, but Tang En had no good idea about this. These arms were taboos, and they were all hidden when the nobles raised private soldiers.
However, the stalemate between the two sides did not last long, and it was soon perfectly resolved due to the small concessions of the noble negotiating group. Of course, this was not because the other party could not withstand the pressure, but because one person came to the legion camp...
…………
At night, the army camp was in the army camp.
The three famous generals Relf, Barlow and Geri gathered together again.
"General Gary, what's the negotiation today?" Barlow asked lazily as soon as he came in and sat down.
The three generals took turns to take the old nobles to the Gray Clothing Army's garrison every day. Today it was Geri's turn. They did not have the right to participate in the negotiations. They simply took people over every day, and then sat silently watching the two sides verbally fight.
"It's still the same!" Gari's eyes drooped and his tone was plain, but because he was born with a gloomy face, he seemed to have a gloomy face when he said this. "Those gray-clad soldiers are so brave that they dare to ask for so many military equipment."
"What can I do? After all, they have hostages in hand." Barlow changed his position and lay on the seat, looking very uninspired. "I'm tired of this bird's day, and I feel like my bones are rusted."
Relf and Gary both nodded when they heard this, as if they agreed with Barlow's words.
Originally, they were all elite troops of their respective legions, and were on the border, because the northern barbarians attacked from time to time, and wars were fought almost every day. But now they have fallen into such an embarrassing situation, so they naturally live a very boring life.
"By the way, have you noticed that there was a small team of gray-clothed troops who often trained in the wild recently?" After a moment of silence, Barlow suddenly said.
Gary frowned: "It's the group of people who run outside the camp every morning."
"Yes, they are them!" Barlow nodded, leaned forward, and finally showed some vitality. "You guys don't say it, I observed it a little. Their daily training is quite interesting."
These people are all battlefield rivals, so their eyesight is naturally brilliant. Even if they cannot fully understand Tang En's trick, they still keenly feel that the other party's training has some tricks.
"They are amazing!" Relf commented with a pity.
Barlow nodded: "Of course, after all, they caught those noble boys and forced them to pass through our army soldiers of tens of thousands of people."
"Not this!" Relf shook his head.
"Huh?" Barlow and Gary turned their heads at the same time and looked at Relf in confusion. The latter was in silence at this time, as if he was considering what to say.
This facial paralysis... Barlow and the others couldn't help but complain and turned their eyes to the deputy general behind Relf.
"Ahem, that's it." The middle-aged deputy general saluted briefly and continued, "When our legion's scouts checked around, they found a small team of gray-clothed troops climbing on the southern mountain wall. Well, it was like a competition, about five people in a group, and the climbing height was about 100 meters!"
"The mountain wall in the south... can you climb?" Barlow and Geri were shocked. Of course they knew what was going on there. It can be said that the mountain wall was just like a mirror. The difficulty of climbing on it is self-evident.
"According to the scouts' reward, he saw a man who seemed to be doing a demonstration and took a very short time to climb up. Well, he did not use fighting spirit, nor did he use any erectile dysfunction. He just climbed up step by step with the slightly prominent parts of the mountain."
"This..." Barlow and Guy looked at each other, and then the former said, "It should be training scouts. So they are from the gray-clothed army scouts?"
The middle-aged deputy general shook his head: "Not just that, our scouts also found that there were some human-shaped targets at that height. After they climbed to that height, they not only needed to stabilize their bodies, but also stabbed them quickly at the target!"
"Uh..." Barlow touched his chin, "You said that, this is like a raid team. But can such a few people form combat power?"
As a general, Barlow saw the problem at a glance. In military combat, sending troops to raid is considered a normal tactic. Each legion has light cavalry and other troops specifically used in this regard. However, these teams are organized without exception, and at least they must have a squadron in order to achieve the effect. If there are only a few dozen people, even if the raid is successful, what is the difference between fighting and itchy itchy in the battle?
"Yes!" Relf suddenly spoke, "They took the hostage."
Barlow was stunned, then smiled, "This is an accident, huh..."
Speaking of this, Barlow suddenly frowned, "General Relf is saying that their group of people are specifically used to appear in key places in the battle situation and then give a fatal blow. Well, for example, assassinating the main general?"
Relf nodded slightly.
"This... this is a bit of a matter of course. When will the assassin go to the battlefield?" Barlow laughed a little and Gary, who was standing beside him, curled his lips without thinking.
It’s no wonder that the two of them looked a little slight. In their minds, or basically in the minds of all the generals, fighting is a confrontation between the two armies. Under this general trend, the local small fluctuations caused by someone can suddenly be caused, just like when did you see an ant bite the elephant to death?
Relf did not refute, and was habitually silent.
"What happened later? What did those people do later?" Barlow asked with interest.
"Ahem..." The middle-aged deputy general's face looked a little embarrassed: "Later, our scout was discovered and driven away."
“…”
Barlowei opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened: "What?"
Of course they knew the combat effectiveness of the Zichen Legion's scouts, which was at the head of all the legions. It was shocking to be lurking and discovered. They were driven away... Although this general was so light, both of them could think of what happened at that time. Of course, the scouts of the Zichen Legion were not soft-hearted. Both sides must have fought, and the result was that the Zichen Legion was defeated...
"Huh..." Barlow came to his senses and sighed, "The gray-clothed army cannot underestimate it. It is really difficult to destroy them under the same conditions."
Gari was a little touched when he heard this, and was about to nod, suddenly,
"Haha, the gray-clothed army cannot be eliminated by the army." A slightly hoarse magnetic voice came from outside the tent.
At this time, Relf and the deputy general were both stunned, as if they were a little unbelievable.
The curtain moved slightly, and a purple figure walked in.
"marshal!"
"Marshal Ziyi!"
...
Several people in the tent screamed in shock, then stood up in a hurry and gave the most standard military salute.
Chapter completed!
