Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Mansion, tied up Hei Ya, and walked into his office. As soon as he sat down, Gu Xiuwen, the clerk and manager of the Household Registration Office, walked in with two tall men.
One of them was a middle-aged man in his thirties, bare-handed. He had a squarish face and a pair of shrewd, deep eyes under his thick, broad eyebrows. His muscles bulged out from his shoulders and arms.
The other was a young man in his twenties, holding a long spear and a knife at his waist. His facial features were distinct, as if they were carved. His angular face was unusually handsome, and he looked a little unrestrained.
After Gu Xiuwen greeted them, he pulled the two men over and introduced them, "Sir, these two heroes are special talents who just came to the territory today. Let me introduce them to you. These two heroes are a pair of brothers. The elder brother is Lin Yue, and he is an expert in martial arts. The younger brother is Lin Yi, and he likes to play with knives and sticks. He is a beginner general. "
The Lin brothers took the opportunity to step forward, cupped their fists, and bowed slightly. They said in unison, "This commoner Lin Yue (Lin Yi) greets Sir!"
High level martial artist?! Beginner general?! This time, Ouyang Shuo's interest was completely piqued. He said happily, "Two heroes, please dispense with the formalities! It is the Shanhai Village's fortune to be able to meet two talents today. "He paused for a moment, then continued," Since you are so capable, are you willing to serve in the army? "
Hearing this, the young man, Lin Yi, immediately showed an expression of eagerness, as if he was extremely willing. On the other hand, the middle-aged man, Lin Yue, remained calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking. When Lin Yi saw that his elder brother didn't say anything, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and didn't speak. Ouyang Shuo saw this and nodded in his heart.
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I shouldn't decline Sir's kindness. However, the skills I have learned are all flowery but not practical, and are not suitable for the army. Secondly, I was heavily injured in my early years, and my body still has hidden injuries. I am afraid that I will disappoint Sir's kindness. On the other hand, although my younger brother is a little naughty, he knows some spear and stick skills. If Sir doesn't mind, you can arrange for him to be in the army and strictly discipline him. Although I am not a talented person, I can still be of service to you. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded slightly. This Lin Yue had a sense of propriety in his speech. He was definitely not a simple martial artist. At this moment, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to delve into this matter, so he said with a smile, "Big Brother Lin has an unmentionable illness, so it's naturally not good to force him. There is a high-ranking doctor in the village. When he comes down, I will ask him to take a look at Big Brother Lin. I just don't know if he can help. In addition, our village is about to build a martial arts school. At that time, we will have to ask Big Brother Lin to take charge and teach the villagers some martial arts. Firstly, it would strengthen their bodies, and secondly, it would allow everyone to have a skill to defend themselves. When he entered the wilderness, he still had some ability to protect himself. I hope that Big Brother Lin won't decline! "
At this point, Lin Yue naturally couldn't refuse. Moreover, opening a dojo was in line with his intentions. "This Lin thanks Milord for your care. I dare not disobey!"
Ouyang Shuo laughed and continued, "As for your younger brother, he can take up the post of a squad leader in the militia. I believe that with your younger brother's ability, he will definitely not let you down! "
Lin Yue and his brother bowed again and thanked him, "Thank you, Sir. We will not let you down!"
Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check the brothers' attributes.
[Name]: Lin Yue (Silver)
[Identity]: Shanhai Village Villager
[Occupation]: Advanced Warrior
[Loyalty]: 75
[Specialty]: Fist Skill Expert (Increases the fist skill power of the residents of the territory by 10%)
[Remarks]: Mysterious origin, Fist Skill Expert, Current Hero. Because of hidden illness, he was forced to wander.
[Name]: Lin Yi (Dark Iron)
[Identity]: Shanhai Village Militia Third Squad Leader
[Occupation]: Beginner General
[Loyalty]: 75
[Commander]: 30 [Strength]: 40 [Intelligence]: 20 [Politics]: 15
[Skills]: Lin Family Ancestral Spear Skill (Total of 12 Styles)
[Equipment]: Fine Iron Spear, Ring Blade
[Remarks]: Studied the art of war since he was young, and practiced spear skills. However, his personality is stubborn and unrestrained.
Both brothers were a bit of a pervert. Lin Yue was actually evaluated as a Fist Skill Expert by the system, and his special characteristic was to increase the fist skill power of the entire territory's residents. This kind of special characteristic was very helpful to the territory.
Ouyang Shuo guessed that if he could cure his hidden illness, he would at least be a Master Warrior. Because of this, Ouyang Shuo didn't have much hope for Doctor Song. After all, he was only a high-level doctor.
Lin Yi was not simple either. Although he was only an Iron-ranked character now, he had his own skills and equipment. He had great potential and the potential for growth was very good. If he was placed in the army and given to Shi Wansui to train, he would definitely become a great person in the future.
Through this period of observation, Ouyang Shuo slowly discovered some of the rules of how the system refreshed the refugees. First of all, at the beginning, such as when the village was being built or when the territory was just leveling up, it was easier to get special talents. When the territory leveling up had more or less gathered the special talents needed, the rest were basically normal farmers, and there were very few special talents.
Another thing was that the Gold Village Creation Order's special characteristic was slowly starting to show its power, and from time to time, it could attract high-level talents to join. One had to know that the village level was mainly filled with beginner talents, and Shanhai Village already had three high-level talents.
If the other lords were to find out about this, they would definitely be envious. For many lords, having a mid-level talent was like a treasure to them. High-level talents were just an extravagant hope.
After the greetings, Ouyang Shuo told Gu Xiuwen to bring Lin Yue to the barracks. He personally brought Lin Yi to the barracks. As a beginner general, Lin Yi didn't need to change his class.
The fundamental difference between a soldier and a general was the number of soldiers they could lead. According to the army's structure, the highest a soldier could reach was a captain level 1, which could lead 50 soldiers. Ten squads were a battalion, with 500 people. The captain had to be at least a beginner general. Five battalions were a brigade, with 250 people. The commander had to be at least a mid-level general.
Five brigades were divisions with 1,000 direct subordinates, totaling 1,350 people. The division commander had to be at least a high-ranking military general. Four divisions would form an army, with 10,000 people directly under them. There would be a total of 55,000 people, and only a special-class general could be the commander of the army. Several legions were a group army, with a commander. Only the lord or a general appointed by the lord could be the commander.
As a result, the territory's demand for generals would be huge in the later stages. It wasn't realistic to hope for a general to appear from the refugees. The probability was no different from hitting the jackpot, unless they had a strong territory like Shanhai Village.
Most of the time, it was through soldiers. The Intermediate Military Camp's Job Change Room allowed Level 10 Militia to become a Stage 1 Soldier. At the soldier level, there were no more levels. There were nine levels. Level one to three were soldiers, level four to six were fierce soldiers, and level seven to nine were elite soldiers.
Normal soldiers needed to advance all the way to level nine elite soldiers before they could go through the advanced camp's secret room and become a beginner general.
It was because of this that Ouyang Shuo paid so much attention to Lin Yi. When the two arrived at the barracks, Shi Wansui came back as well. He handed Lin Yi to Shi Wansui and prepared to leave after giving some instructions.
Unexpectedly, Shi Wansui suddenly stopped him and said solemnly, "My Lord, I have something to report!"
Ouyang Shuo stopped and asked curiously, "Oh, what is it?"
"It's like this. I just received a report from a patrol team. When they were patrolling the territory, they unexpectedly discovered a bandit camp. "
Ouyang Shuo was shocked. It was finally here. Bandits and bandits were known as the two scourges of the wilderness. "Did the patrolling militia alert them?"
Shi Wansui shook his head. "Not yet. The patrol team is led by Dog Three, and they're quite smart. After they saw the bandits from afar, the main force watched from afar, and another person was sent back to the barracks to report. "
"Yes, they did a good job. We can't be careless! With our current strength, we need to keep calm and control ourselves before we know the enemy's strength. How about this, General, do two things. One is to figure out the size of the bandits as soon as possible, as well as their general strength. If necessary, the General has to go out personally. The other thing is to hurry up and choose soldiers to become militia as soon as possible. You can choose soldiers from the existing households, and focus on military operations. I'll talk to the officers in charge about this. "Ouyang Shuo said cautiously.
Shi Wansui, on the other hand, was very excited. He said loudly, "Don't worry, Master. I'm going to sneak into their camp tonight to investigate. I want to see what those fellows are capable of. "
Ouyang Shuo wasn't too worried with Shi Wansui personally taking action. The appearance of the bandits this time might be a good thing for the territory. Firstly, they could take the opportunity to train the militia. Killing bandits was much faster than killing monsters to level up. Secondly, there was a high chance of obtaining building blueprints after eliminating them.
The next day, Ouyang Shuo called Shi Wansui to his office as soon as he went online. He hurriedly asked about last night's investigation.
Shi Wansui was very capable. He had directly infiltrated the bandit camp last night and conducted a detailed investigation. "Master, according to this general's investigation, there are about a hundred people in the bandit camp. There were about a hundred people in the entire bandit camp. Among them, there were more than sixty bandits who could fight, and the rest were women and children. The bandits with combat ability can be roughly divided into three types. The first type are ordinary bandits. They are poorly equipped and don't have mounts. Their strength is comparable to our militia. This type of people is the most numerous, and there are about forty of them. The second type are the elite bandits. They are well-equipped, equipped with bows and warhorses. I reckon there are quite a number of them. I have about twenty warhorses from their stables. The last type is the bandit leader. There are only two of them, a senior leader and a second leader. According to my judgment, the leader's strength is comparable to the newcomer Lin Yi. "
Ouyang Shuo's expression was solemn. He said in a deep voice, "The strength of these bandits is beyond my expectations. Even ordinary bandits have the strength of militia. I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses if we fight them head-on. What's more troublesome is that these elite bandits are equipped with bows and arrows. This is a bigger threat to us. It seems that we can only use our wits this time and not force our way through. "
Shi Wansui, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. He said proudly, "This general doesn't agree with your words, Master. This will only boost the enemy's morale and diminish our own. In this general's eyes, these bandits are nothing more than chickens and dogs. As long as I sneak into their camp alone, I can kill more than half of them. "
Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly and replied, "I'm well aware of your bravery, General. But as the saying goes, ants can even bite an elephant to death. It's too risky for General to be alone. Wouldn't the losses outweigh the gains if the bandits ambushed you?! General's talent lies in killing on the battlefield, not in fighting against the strong. General may be brave, but the militia is newly built, and their equipment is crude. They can't help General at all. "
Shi Wansui then gave a silly smile. "Then according to my lord, how should we deal with it?"
Ouyang Shuo smiled calmly and said confidently, "This matter needs to be discussed at length. The most important thing at this stage is to train the militia. We'll use silence to counter attacks and accumulate strength in silence. When the time is right, we'll crush them in one blow. Of course, we still need to keep an eye on them. Arrange for elite personnel to monitor the bandits' movements at all times. Also, the village's defense needs to be strengthened to prevent any accidents! "
"Yes!" With that, Shi Wansui left to arrange the village's defense.
