"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Trace- Dragon Soul for withstanding the test in the Arena Tournament and being selected as one of the Eight Commandants of the West Garden. Trace- Dragon Soul is conferred the title of Right Commandant …"
“.....”
Two system announcements came one after the other and were repeated three times in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone. Yang Rui and Trace- Dragon Soul were both conferred the titles of Left and Right Commandants of the Eight Commandants of the West Garden. Their fame among the players had unknowingly increased by a lot.
Due to the sudden appearance of the Commandant selection, the system had obviously shortened the competition schedule. In order to ensure that a large number of players could complete the selection within a day, each competition had a time limit of 15 minutes. This way, even if there were hundreds of millions of players participating in the competition, they could complete the selection on time. However, the entire competition schedule seemed to be a little uneventful.
"Congratulations to brother Blazing Sun!"
Trace- Dragon Soul struck up a conversation with Yang Rui before the appointment ceremony. In the previous competition, both sides were muted. At this moment, Yang Rui and Trace- Dragon Soul were standing at the back of the two rows of four people. Therefore, Trace- Dragon Soul took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Yang Rui.
"Brother Trace-! Congratulations to you too! Congratulations to you too! "
Yang Rui said politely. Although Yang Rui had interacted with Trace- Dragon Soul many times and felt that Trace- Dragon Soul was a person worth befriending. However, after a few incidents, Yang Rui vaguely felt that this person was not as simple as he seemed on the surface!
"Hahaha, brother Blazing Sun is still the best. You have already reached the level of a High Level General. To tell you the truth, I took a pill when I participated in the last competition. It was also because of this that I was able to withstand Blazing Sun's attacks. Otherwise, I would definitely be defeated in a few moves with my brother. Haha … "
During the conversation, Dragon Soul actually took the initiative to reveal his background, saying that he had taken a pill during the competition. It was unknown whether he was intentionally showing weakness or trying to probe Yang Rui's background. However, Yang Rui only smiled modestly and didn't talk about his strength in depth.
"… Brother Blazing Sun doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Is it because of what happened in the Grand Mountain City two days ago? Actually, there was no need for that at all.
I've also heard about the attack on Big Mountain City. At that time, Blazing Sun was with me and a few other player organizations to go on a punitive expedition against the Hun Tribe. Therefore, Dragon Soul was also very concerned about this matter. However, Blazing Sun turned off his communicator after that. At the same time, they closed their doors and refused to entertain any guests. We wanted to know more about the situation, but to no avail.
Now that I've finally met Brother Blazing Sun, if there's anything that Dragon Soul can help with, please don't hesitate to ask! Fortunately, I've heard that Blazing Sun not only successfully defended against the ambush, but also dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. I'm sure Big Mountain City's territory wasn't affected too much, right? "
Then, the Tracer Dragon Soul asked about the attack on Big Mountain City a while ago with great concern. Due to Yang Rui's announcement post, this matter had already become a hot topic in the game's internal forums. It was normal for Dragon Soul to be able to find out more about the situation.
However, Yang Rui wouldn't eliminate his suspicions towards Dragon Soul just because of this. No matter what the actual situation of Big Mountain City being attacked was, the six player organizations that participated in the punitive expedition with Yang Rui were very suspicious! This was something that Yang Rui was very clear about. When Song of Gale chose to attack Big Mountain City, it was impossible not to suspect the six player organizations, including Dragon Soul!
"Zhongping Fifth Year, Seventh Month, 29th Day. The Han Dynasty's Emperor Ling wrote a policy and established the West Park New Army. He also appointed eight Lieutenants to be in charge of the army in West Park to protect the Luoyang Imperial City! The West Park New Army is directly under the Emperor's command, not his!
Little Yellow Clan's Jian Shuo is appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Army, Huben's Lieutenant General Yuan Shao is appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Army, Cao Cao is appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Army, Guanglu Physician Zhao Rong is appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Army, Grand Minister Feng Fang is appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Army, Advisor Xia Mou is appointed as the Right Lieutenant General of the Army, Blazing Sun is appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Army, Zheng County's County Lieutenant Trace Dragon Soul is appointed as the Right Lieutenant General of the Army! The eight Lieutenants of West Park will all be under Jian Shuo's command … "
While Trace Dragon Soul and Yang Rui were whispering to each other, the appointment ceremony for the eight Lieutenants of West Park had officially begun. The one who announced the Emperor Ling Han's decree was none other than Zhang Rang. Trace Dragon Soul originally wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Rang's announcement. He could only stop for the time being, saving Yang Rui the time to reply to him.
However, what surprised Yang Rui was that ever since Yang Rui revealed the importance of official positions, Trace Dragon Soul was already appointed as the County Lieutenant of Zheng County. It was almost a 200-stone official position. Although there was still a long way to go before he could upgrade to a small city, he was already catching up very quickly!
Furthermore, Trace Dragon Soul's strength was not to be underestimated. Yang Rui also felt some pressure. The Tracing Dragon Soul should be just one of the examples. The other top ranked player organizations, such as Predator Sword and Starlight Vast Sky, were also on the same level. These large player organizations were chasing after them very closely!
"… Currently, the soldier recruitment order has been issued. All Lieutenants have been ordered to select soldiers and able-bodied men at the West Park Drill Ground in three days. Please be present. Otherwise, your position as Lieutenant will be revoked and replaced with another candidate!"
While Yang Rui was distracted, Zhang Rang had already finished reading the decree and announced the following arrangements.
However, after hearing Zhang Rang's words, Yang Rui and Trace Dragon Soul couldn't help but frown. If a Lieutenant didn't show up for the soldier selection, he would be removed from his position. Could it be that the West Park Lieutenants were here every day?
The other NPC Lieutenants aside, Yang Rui and Trace Dragon Soul were both players and the leaders of their own forces. If their actions were restricted to Luoyang Royal City or the West Park, how could they develop their own territories and forces?
Trace Dragon Soul also had a way out. Such a large force would definitely have candidates who could be substitutes. Especially since Yang Rui was working alone. A few territories could only be managed by him alone. If he was really restricted, the losses would be huge!
Therefore, at this moment, Yang Rui had already made a decision. He definitely couldn't delay his own development because of the Lieutenants. Otherwise, it would be an action of neglecting the essentials and focusing on the trifles! If there was no other choice, Yang Rui was already prepared to give up the Lieutenants' position!
"In accordance with the Great Han Dynasty's official's orders, Commandant Jian Shuo, Assistant Left Lieutenant Feng Fang, and Left Lieutenant Blazing Sun are to hurry to the Lakeside Garden's study room. The Emperor has something to ask you! The appointment ceremony has come to an end. You may all leave! "
After the appointment ceremony of the West Park Lieutenants had ended, Zhang Rang announced the Emperor's orders and brought Jian Shuo, Feng Fang, and Yang Rui to the Lakeside Garden's study room. At first, Yang Rui was a little excited. He thought that he had finally endured to the point where he could meet the Emperor. Regardless of Emperor Ling Han's character and actions, Yang Rui was qualified to meet him. It was already considered a success in the game.
However, when they actually arrived at their destination, Yang Rui discovered that Emperor Ling Han was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that Zhang Rang was only using Emperor Ling Han's name to lure Jian Shuo, Feng Fang, and Yang Rui here. Yang Rui and the other two were all placed in the West Park Lieutenants by the Eunuch's forces!
Zhang Rang's main purpose in calling Yang Rui and the others to the Lakeside Garden's study room was to let them understand each other's existence so that they could cooperate with each other during crucial moments. In addition, Zhang Rang also instructed them to do their best to control or rope in the other Lieutenants and completely control the West Park New Army in the hands of the Eunuch's group.
With Commandant Jian Shuo's existence, the Eunuch's group had control over half of the West Park New Army. Of course, Feng Fang and Yang Rui's support was also very important. However, Yang Rui was not concerned about the struggle between the Eunuch and his relatives. He only wanted to know if the Lieutenants of the West Park New Army were going to stay in Luoyang full-time!
"Lieyang Commandant, do you have any questions? Why don't you tell this Marquis? "
Just as Yang Rui was pondering this question, Zhang Rang's gaze happened to notice Yang Rui and he immediately asked.
Zhang Rang was able to do well in front of Emperor Han Ling, so he had to admit that he had some ability. When Yang Rui's gaze swept past him, he suddenly had a feeling that he had been seen through. In addition, Zhang Rang's subsequent question had hit the nail on the head. Thus, Yang Rui suspected that Zhang Rang might have a special ability to observe people's expressions.
"Reporting to Marquis, Blazing Sun does have some doubts. I don't know if I have any free time to maintain the operations of the territory after taking up the position of West Park Lieutenant. Therefore, I asked this question …"
Yang Rui answered honestly without much consideration. His current relationship with Zhang Rang was very delicate. Zhang Rang and the other Eunuchs still had to rely on him to supply the Asahi Pill. As long as it wasn't too excessive, he believed that Zhang Rang wouldn't really do anything to Yang Rui!
Moreover, the West Park Lieutenant's duties were related to the development of Yang Rui's personal power. If there was a conflict between time and energy, this question would have to be raised sooner or later. Moreover, it was better to do it sooner rather than later!
"This Marquis knew that Lieutenant Blazing Sun would have such doubts. Originally, Blazing Sun was the Provincial Governor of Qing Province and had his own territory. It was normal for him to have some worries.
The new army of West Park is related to the safety of the Emperor. As the West Park Lieutenant, he should do his best to guard Luoyang. However, within half a year after the establishment of the new army, half of the soldiers will be newly recruited men. The Lieutenant will need to raise the soldiers in charge to Fifth Grade. All skill books and equipment will be provided by the Lieutenant. As for leveling up, it will depend on the Lieutenant.
In this way, in the first half of the year, the Lieutenant can bring the new soldiers of West Park to various places to level up. The range won't be limited to Luoyang Imperial City. Moreover, after the new army's strength has been raised, the Lieutenant only needs to report to West Park for ten days every month. In emergency situations, the Lieutenant can also entrust the new soldiers under his command to Lieutenant Jian Shuo!
Originally, this was supposed to be explained three days later. Since Lieutenant Blazing Sun has doubts, this Marquis will say it in advance. I wonder if Lieutenant Blazing Sun still has any doubts … "
Zhang Rang's answer reassured Yang Rui. Other things aside, since there was a half-year leveling period, Yang Rui was relieved. After half a year in the game, Dong Zhuo would enter Luoyang. Who would have the time to care about the West Park Lieutenant?
