    "Allison, I thought we were already good friends!" Ivan looked at him with a disappointed look on his face.  "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to help you" Ellison was made uncomfortable by Alvin's gaze. He deeply regretted at this moment that he had spoken too much before, so now  Unable to get off the stage.  Ellison wanted to answer that he could help, but he really didn't have the confidence. He was in a dilemma for a while, and finally had to say honestly: "Evan, things like this that require a lot of intelligence investigation are not my strong point.  My strength is just marching and fighting. If you have found out who the enemy is, I can help you get revenge, but if you want me to help find out the identity of the enemy, there is nothing I can do. " "So that's it!"  Ivan's face softened slightly. He didn't mean to step down for Ellison, but he really believed in Ellison's answer.  The larger the force, the more detailed the division of power among its subordinates, especially in the military field. It is particularly taboo for subordinates to monopolize power. Since Ellison can be appointed by Covin as the commander of the right army, his strengths are naturally  Unite the military for combat, not intelligence analysis.  ¡°Perhaps Ellison has not had much contact with intelligence matters at all.  ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s nothing we can do about it.¡± Ivan sighed.  Ellison felt a little sorry and thought for a while and said: "Although I can't help you, I can ask the Heinrich family's intelligence system to help collect relevant information. As long as you allow them to act cheaply in your territory,  With their abilities, they should be able to quickly find out the forces ambushing you!" "Haha" Ai Wen just smiled when he heard this, neither agreeing nor rejecting.  Just kidding, let in spies from other forces.  If they are allowed to act cheaply, who knows whether their main focus will be on helping or causing trouble. If they take the opportunity to collect confidential information about the Lionheart Leader, then Aiwen will suffer a big loss instead of not being repaid.  This idea must not be agreed to.  Ellison didn¡¯t think too much, seeing that Alvin didn¡¯t agree to his proposal.  It's just that he doesn't trust the ability of the intelligence personnel of the Heinrich family, and he is naturally a little unhappy, but he just lost face in front of Ivan.  It's not easy to look at Ai Wen's face now, so he can only pretend that he doesn't notice it, casually bring up a topic, and cover up the matter.  Ellison is a soldier after all.  His favorite topic.  After all, Ivan never left the military field. After listening more, Ivan gradually came up with some ideas in his mind. However, the conditions at the moment were not sufficient, so he did not express his thoughts.  After chatting for a while, a demon quickly walked in from outside the house and came to Ellison's side.  Lowering his head and whispering a few words to him, Ellison nodded.  Waving to indicate that he could leave, he then smiled at Ivan and said, "Viscount Ivan, the soldiers of the left army have already formed their formation in the open space outside. It's time for us to go out!" Ivan nodded knowingly.  He knew that Ellison was preparing to hold a large-scale handover ceremony for him, allowing him to officially become the commander of the left army in front of 20,000 soldiers.  of turmoil.  "Do I need to prepare anything else?" Ivan asked slightly worriedly.  "Strictly speaking, you need to put on the uniform of the commander of the Left Army, then wear the military badge, carry a saber, hold a baton, and walk out of this room under the escort of the military band." Ellison said seriously, but  Then he laughed: "Unfortunately, we don't have a military band here, so don't think so much about equipment such as military uniforms and maces. Just don't wear them if you don't have time. Anyway, the left army is not uniformly equipped."  Equipment - I think your current outfit is quite suitable." Ivan nodded helplessly. Of course he knew that the outfit he was wearing now was good. After all, he was here to accept military power. If he was wearing tatters.  , who knows what will happen, but Ellison's words are a bit too casual. After all, there are 20,000 troops, how can they be fooled so easily?  Under Ellison¡¯s urging, Ivan checked his clothes and adjusted the position of the military badge several times before following Ellison and walking out of the room.  During the short period of time that Ivan and Ellison were chatting, all the 20,000 troops in the camp had been mobilized, and they lined up in the open space in the camp, filling the originally empty flat ground tightly.  In this short period of time, Nie led his men to transform the camp gate made of huge rocks into a medium-sized platform. This platform was the place he prepared for Ivan to hold the ceremony, with large and small flags.  Plugged on the platform and fluttering in the wind, it looks quite impressive.    Alvin followed Ellison and boarded the platform. The two stood side by side in the center of the platform, with a row of burly and serious-looking guards standing behind them.  Ellison cleared his throat and began to speak to the demons lined up under the platform. The general idea was that because of work needs, organizational recognition, and superior arrangements, the head of the legion, Viscount Covin, decided to appoint Viscount Irwin as the commander of the left army.  , you scumbags, like the powerful Viscount Alvin, are volunteers from all over the world. Similar backgrounds bring high recognition. I believe that you two will be able to cooperate well in the future.  Ellison was talking nonsense on the stage. The demons in the audience looked up at Ivan, and their mouths were not idle. Various comments were mixed together, forming a buzzing noise. Ivan stood in front of him.  Next to Li Sen, it was hard to even hear what he was saying.  Fortunately, Ivan didn't care much about this. Taking advantage of the opportunity that all the left army soldiers were standing in front of him, he concentrated on looking at these subordinates who belonged to him.  At first glance, Ivan looked at it with his eyes. This glance made him realize that these soldiers belonging to the left army were just as Ellison described. They did not have unified weapons and equipment at all, and they gathered in a dark mass.  Together, one is black and one is white, one is gray.  It looked like a giant mangy rat, terribly ugly.  This may be because they are among the first batch of reorganized armies, to put it nicely.  It is because the other three armies have not yet been formed, so the standard equipment that the legion needs to equip has not yet been decided. To put it bluntly, these demons are regarded as cannon fodder. As cannon fodder, they only need equipment. Why are they so demanding?  Do you still have the consciousness of being cannon fodder?  Ai Wen had already prepared for this, so he didn¡¯t have much thought.  After seeing the equipment level of these soldiers.  Ivan looked at them from another angle. This time, he used his talent for physiognomy.  When the fluctuations of physiognomy talent came from Alvin's body, Ellison's speech paused obviously.  But the topic was quickly picked up again.  I don't think anyone except Alvin would notice anything unusual about him.  "I didn't expect him to be quite sensitive!" Irvine's evaluation of Ellison suddenly reached a new level, but he didn't find it strange that he could be favored by Ke Wen and entrusted with the important task of commander of the right army. How could it be possible?  It would be that simple.  After a moment of distraction, Alvin focused most of his attention on his mental space again.  As the halo of physiognomy talent shrouded most of the left army soldiers, countless information runes poured into Aiwen's mental space like raindrops.  Fortunately, the information carried in these runes requires Alvin to actively read it before it will be revealed, otherwise.  Alvin must be overwhelmed by this huge flow of information.  Ivan never thought about checking this huge flow of information one by one. With so many years of experience, he only needed to check the color depth of these runes to roughly guess the potential value of these demons. As for these  He didn't care much about the devil's current strength.  No matter how low the current strength is, as long as the potential value is enough, the strength can still be improved in the future. The current strength is good, but if the potential value is not enough, this warrior's status in the left army will basically come to an end.  After hurriedly scanning through the many runes that came back in his mind, Aiwen's mood suddenly became very bad. He just wanted to scold his mother. Standing in front of him were 20,000 warriors. There were probably about 20,000 warriors who were enveloped by his physiognomy talent.  About ten thousand, and about four-fifths of these ten thousand warriors, the first-level strength is the peak of their life. Among the remaining one-fifth, most of the warriors can only reach the second-level strength.  There are only a few who can reach the third level of strength, and none of them can reach the fourth level or above.  Ivan has traveled all over the country for so long, and he has never seen anything worse than the potential of this army. Even if it is half as bad, he has no impression. Taking this army into battle is a sure way to die!  After taking several deep breaths in succession, Ivan's bad mood finally began to improve. He tried to convince himself: "That's right, I am too lucky. Most of the volunteer troops sent from various cities are cannon fodder.  After arriving at Demon God's Castle, any demon with some ability among the volunteers would have already found an opportunity to jump out of the military headquarters and start planning their own future. If they stay in the military headquarters and continue to eat and die, how much better can their quality be?  Needless to say, such a unit was actually cleaned up by Ke Wen once again, and all the stronger soldiers in it were picked away. What was left to me was basically the cannon fodder among the cannon fodder" "To be honest, they can go all the way.  Walking here in such a dignified manner is beyond my expectation." Although he comforted himself in his heart, this blow was really too big, and Ivan always felt guilty.??So much so that when Ellison officially announced that he would serve as the commander of the left army next to him, Ivan couldn't be happy either. He just forced a smile and raised his arms towards  He waved under the platform and that was it.  After the ceremony, Ivan took Ellison and summoned the generals of the Left Army to discuss the reform of the Left Army.  At this moment, Ivan felt that it was a wise decision for him to bring 800 non-commissioned officers from Lion Heart Valley. Without a group of combat-effective non-commissioned officers as the nodes at the grassroots level of the army, I am afraid that the Left Army would not be able to become a force with strong combat effectiveness.  What¡¯s the use of just having more people? If you can¡¯t defeat the enemy, it¡¯s just puffiness!  Ellison has some objections to Irvine's decision, but he is no longer the acting commander of the Left Army, and when a new officer takes office, it is a matter of course to install his cronies, so he can't say anything.  "It's just that 800 cronies were installed at once.  Although they are all low-level non-commissioned officers, this force would be too great, if it were not for the low strength of the soldiers of the left army.  There is a general lack of confidence to resist orders from superiors. I am afraid that even if the two commanders, Irvine and Ellison, join forces to put pressure, they may not be able to implement this decision.  Having said that, Ivan was not stupid enough to force the subordinates he brought to the position of non-commissioned officers. He just ordered that the lowest-ranking non-commissioned officers be re-elected one day later. As for the method of election, it was naturally based on force.  As for the middle and high-level officers in the military, he did not replace many of them.  The possible backlash against this order will naturally be greatly reduced.  After the meeting, the middle- and high-level officers of the Left Army left the conference hall worriedly. They probably wanted to go back early to discuss countermeasures with their cronies until everyone in the meeting dispersed.  Ellison just gave a thumbs up to Ivan in admiration: "Although I don't agree with what you are doing. But I have to say - what a courage!" "Don't be sarcastic, I have to do this!  "Ivan laughed self-deprecatingly. He naturally knew what Ellison meant. Perhaps in his eyes, as long as he trained diligently and gradually promoted his cronies, he could defeat this enemy while avoiding turmoil in the army to the greatest extent.  The troops are in hand.  But Ellison doesn't have Alvin's talent for physiognomy.  Therefore, it was impossible for him to know how far the strength and potential of this left army fell.  The sooner we remove unqualified soldiers from this army, the better.  A considerable number of warriors have reached their peak strength now. Perhaps they feel similar in their hearts, so no matter how much training they do, it will be in vain.  Perhaps the cooperation between those soldiers will gradually develop into a tacit understanding with training, but no matter how well they train, they will always be only an army with average strength of the first level, and there is no way to become an army with average strength of the second level.  "I have seen the troop you brought before. The strength of the troop members is very good. In tomorrow's competition, if nothing unexpected happens, most of them will be able to defeat their opponents and seize the weapons of low-level non-commissioned officers.  The position, calculated based on a team of ten people, is 8,000 people." Ellison said with some envy: "You have 8,000 people in your hands at once. With this army as your support, within three months, the left army will be defeated.  I will be completely mastered by you. If this is the case, even taking some risks now is worth it." "Thank you too!" Ai Wen said: "Without your support, it would be difficult for me to take this first step.  "If so, I'm here just to help you control this army!" Ellison laughed.  Ivan nodded silently, thought for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "What do you think of the strength of this army?" Ellison was stunned, pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "It's okay, although the average strength is poor.  It's a bit different, but after several years of training by the Demon Castle Military Department, there is no problem with the coordination. Compared with the lord's troops in the ordinary territory, there is not much difference in strength. " "That is to say, this troop can still join your army.  Eyesight?" Aiwen asked again.  "Uhwhat do you think?" Ellison said with some vigilance: "I treat you as a brother, so don't keep cheating on me!" "It's not a cheat!" Ivan thought for a while and added: "  At least it's not a trap this time! " "" "To be honest, I think the number of this left army is a bit large, at least compared to the entire Lion Heart Territory," Ivan said, spreading his hands.  : "You also know that there are only four territories around me. Even if we go into full-scale war with them, we won't need 20,000 troops, right? What's more, there are about 5,000 troops in my territory." "I admit you  That makes sense, but what does this have to do with me, and the 20,000 troops are a limited quota in the Demon God's Castle and cannot be reduced - you don't want to secretly order the soldiers to demobilize, do you?"Ellison said suspiciously.  "Of course I won't be so stupid. My idea is very simple. Since the Lion Heart Territory does not need so many troops, then I will rent out part of the troops and send them to other places. In this way, won't the problem be solved?" Ivan  Staring at Ellison.  "Lease out the army?" Ellison frowned and thought. Suddenly, he noticed Ivan's gaze, and then seemed to understand something, pointed to his nose and asked stupidly: "You mean,  "Lease it to me?" "Yes!" Ivan sat next to Ellison and patted his shoulder and encouraged: "Didn't you say that you can take the army to other lords' territories and ask them to pay for peace?  Well, my Lion Heart Leader really doesn¡¯t have this condition, so I can only leave this beautiful thing to you, my brother!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say that, I just said that the military expenses they saved¡± Ellison  He said in a weak tone.  "Almost!" Ivan said without any concern: "And haven't you been complaining about the delay in forming the right army? Now you don't have to complain anymore. The right army is not good. It doesn't matter. I will give you an army directly.  You can take it with you to have a good time as a general!" When Ivan mentioned this, Ellison was finally moved, but he still hesitated: "Then how many troops are you going to rent to me? If the number is too small,  , I¡¯d rather not!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it will definitely not be less, I will give you ten thousand!¡± Aiwen promised.  "Ten thousand?" Ellison suddenly opened his mouth.  After a while, Ellison finally came to his senses and said as if he was sleepwalking: "So, what about the rent?" "We are brothers. As a friendship price, just give me one gold coin every month, but their military expenses are  I don¡¯t care!¡± Ai Wen said.  "It's a deal!" Ellison quickly held Alvin's hand.  (To be continued)
