LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 310

"Then, little devils." The old soldier squinted his eyes and looked at the young soldiers: "Do you know what to do?"

While speaking, a cold wind blew across the field.

The centurion was still riding his tall dragon lizard, watching all this silently.The adult soldiers followed behind without saying a word, looking at this side with seemingly nothing.

Kayn: "."

He suddenly shuddered, and immediately realized: "Yes, sir! We will definitely take down the village occupied by the leaders with all our strength!"

"Not bad. Brat, you are very sensible." The old soldier gave Kayn a satisfied look, as if admiring his cleverness.

So the officer who usually disdained to look at the young soldiers showed an affectionate smile to Kayn for the first time: "If you honestly hang out with the centurion, it will naturally benefit you in the future."

"If you behave well, you don't have to wait until you are an adult. It is not impossible to let you become legionnaires in advance."

"This" the teenagers stared eagerly.

Becoming an official legionnaire is the dream of every Scout.

Although this dream is not difficult to achieve in theory.Theoretically, as long as they can live to the age of 16, they can unconditionally become a regular legionnaire with salary, allowances, pensions and the eligibility to participate in the distribution of spoils.

But in fact, living to the age of 16 is a huge threshold in itself that can eliminate 9% of young soldiers.

"Sir, we will not disappoint the Centurion!" The young soldiers' eyes were burning with fanaticism and excitement.

Only Kayn remained awake.

If it was before meeting the leader, he might still be encouraged by such empty promises.He would think that as long as he gritted his teeth and persisted, he would be able to get ahead in the army, become a hero of Noxus, and become a master officer.

But now, he has become immune to this kind of pie drawn out of thin air.

So, while following everyone to show their loyalty to the veteran, Kayn watched all this silently with a heavy heart.

It wasn't until the veteran gave everyone detailed instructions on the details of the village massacre mission that he finally couldn't help but tentatively asked the veteran: "Sir, I want to ask some questions."

"Huh?" The veteran glanced at him immediately.

Noticing that it was Kayn who was the first to actively stand up to show his loyalty, his expression softened slightly: "Say it."

"I" Kayn swallowed, "I heard that many teams recently encountered guerrillas from leaders in the countryside. Are these 'guerrillas from leaders' also?"

Are they all villagers who were innocently charged with military merits? !
Kayn had never cared whether these strangers lived or died before.But now, he instinctively wants to know.

"Well." The veteran smiled meaningfully: "Little devil, what do you think?"

Killing the good and taking the meritorious service was originally a traditional art skill of the old army.In this situation, in the Noxus Empire, there was no question of whether there was any from the beginning, only the question of more or less.

When the national power is booming and the military discipline is strict, this kind of situation is rare.

This is often the case when the country is in decline and the army is corrupt.

In recent years, the national conditions of Noxus are obviously closer to the latter.

Of course, there are inspectors in the military who are responsible for screening the so-called "war results" reported by grassroots officers.If they were fighting in other places, the inspectors basically had a way to distinguish the moisture in these battle reports.

For example:
Demacia takes the route of elite soldiers, and all soldiers wear armor.If you say that you have captured one hundred heads, then you have to hand over one hundred sets of German standard armor along with the heads.

The native warriors of Shurima and the barbarian warriors of the Freljord are all muscular men with big arms and round waists honed from the harsh environment of the desert ice field.

If you want to use the corpses of civilians with few muscles all over the body, the inspector will be very rude and send you to the slave legion to experience a lifetime trip.

However, these tricks are not easy to use in Ionia.

There is no regular army in Ionia, and the civilian resistance forces are not much different from civilians in terms of equipment and physical characteristics.

Not to mention the leaders like Riven.

The tens of thousands of people they rescued from the Yipu River Port half a month ago, and now the main force of the leaders of Ionia, were originally civilians.

So, the superior ordered to search for the leader with all his strength——

The grassroots soldiers rushed into the village like hungry wolves out of their cages, and fought with the "leader guerrillas".

There have been no major battles in half a month, countless minor battles, and countless gains.

In a trance, the entire Yipu River Basin seems to have become the base camp of the leaders.

"So you don't have to worry at all." The veteran smiled playfully: "After all, our team is not the only one doing this."

"I can't tell you the specifics. I can only tell you that the "Janna Thought" has been sold out in the barracks recently."

Kayn: "."

He clenched his fist tighter and tighter, but his palm was cold.

He didn't dare to think deeply, and asked again: "But, sir, how did I hear that there have been many casualties and even lost a lot of supplies in the battle group recently because of the incident of the leader guerrillas?"

If those leaders were just civilians, how could their warband have so many casualties?

"Casualties? Bah!" The veteran spat with a sneer, "I think it's all news from General Lester!"

"Those high-ranking military officers who are assholes earn much more money than us! I have to work hard to beheaded, and they can earn a lot of money by sitting in the tent and changing a few books."

"So of course they want us to be 'casualties'. If there are no casualties, they can put a large number of casualties in their accounts."

"What, what?" Kayn looked blank.After all, he is less knowledgeable.

At this time, I only listened to the veteran's explanation: "Idiot, think about it, if you were General Lester."

"The high command allocated 3 military expenses for a war regiment full of 2 soldiers, but your war regiment actually only recruited 1 soldiers. Did the [-] military salaries saved go into your own pocket? "

"This..." Kayn couldn't believe it: "Sir, you, you mean?"

General Leicester on empty pay? !

How can this be? !
Kayn was too low in the army.Even after these days of self-awakening, his knowledge of the imperial army is still very limited.

To him, and to most people in Runeterra, Noxus looked like an efficient killing machine.

People will curse its ferocity, but no one will believe that this horrible machine is rotted and rusted from the inside.

But that's what happened.

"How is it impossible?" The veteran snorted coldly, "General Leicester, like us, also came from a leading position. If he doesn't make money like this, where else can his family get so much money?"

Noxus battle groups can basically be divided into two types.

One is an independent war group transformed from various small countries, city-states, and tribes that were annexed and recruited in the past. It still has a considerable scale of autonomous territories and has extremely high autonomy in personnel and finance.

This kind of battle group is actually an independent warlord, and if it is empty, it can only eat on its own head.

Their battle group leaders are also nobles at the vassal level, there is no need to rely on this method to make money.

But General Leicester was different.

He is a new-generation general from the grassroots. The battle group under his jurisdiction is formed by the central government of the empire, not an independent battle group; the personnel appointments and financial lifelines of the battle group are also firmly in the hands of the high-level empire of the Immortal Fortress.

When Swain gained power in the past, an upstart like him could follow the impartial and selfless teacher Swain, relying on his military exploits to get promoted and make a fortune.

But in recent years, Swain has been repeatedly suppressed within the empire. Last year, he was hacked into a commoner by a 14-year-old girl.

The new generation of generals like Leicester, who had the misfortune to follow the wrong person and stand on the wrong team, naturally suffered from within the empire following Swain's loss of power.

If it wasn't because Leicester gave enough money to the old nobles of the Immortal Fortress in time and showed enough loyalty, let alone continue to make progress, he might not even be able to keep his position as the leader of this war group now.

After some work, he managed to stabilize his official career.

But the problem is
Where should the money come from?

For an upstart like Leicester who has no family background, he would definitely not be able to afford this huge sum of money with military rewards alone.

no way.He can only eat empty salary and drink soldiers' blood.

Therefore, in the past two years, the Noxus army, which was already on the verge of decline, quickly deteriorated at an astonishing speed that made Swain almost have a high blood pressure attack.

This grassroots veteran who could only show his knowledge in front of Kayn certainly couldn't see the discord among the high-level empire.

But what he knows is: "General Leicester not only eats empty pay, but also smuggles military supplies on horseback."

"That's why our battle group has so many 'casualties' every time we fight—think about it, every time we fight, we report more casualties and material losses. Can this account be evened out?"

Those "air soldiers" and "air supplies" on the account became real "real people and real things" once they were consumed in war.

Not only can the accounts be settled, but also an extra pension for "dead personnel" can be received from above.

"You see, there is no difference between the officer and us." The veteran smiled: "We use the heads of those Ionians to make money, and they use our heads to make money, it's the same."

"This" Kayn was shocked.

It turns out that there are still so many ways to fight, and you can make a fortune.

Unconsciously, he clenched the "Summary of Janna's Thoughts" tightly in his hand.

Li Wei said in the book that Noxus was about to explode, but Kayn refused to believe it.He couldn't imagine that such a powerful giant would fall down.

But now, there is only one thought in his mind:
"This empire is coming to an end!"
