Chapter 105: Simple Ethnicity

  Liu Yu and Bo Nan waited outside Louis's military account for only about half an Esukaien before Esukaien walked out of the military account, and Louis also went to the door of the military account and said two more sentences to send off Kaien. When Kaien was about to leave, he took another look at Liu Yu and Bo Nan.

  "General Duwei!" Liu Yu and Bo Nan, who were not far from the camp of Rui Jun, saw Kai En look over and hurriedly walked up to him, bowing their heads in greeting.

  "Hmm!" Kane remained calm and raised his hand slightly, signaling Liu Yu that they should get up.

  "That's all settled then, Your Excellency. I'll leave the rest to your guards." Cain said politely to Louis before he left.

  "General Douyu, rest assured, our guard camp will fully cooperate with the Second Division." Louis replied with a smile.

  "Alright!" Kane smiled faintly and left with several Bamun warriors.

  "Alexander has seen the hall uncle!" After Cain walked away, Liu Yu bowed again to Louis.

  "Hmm, it's only been a few months since we last met and your magical and martial arts cultivation have already broken through, Alexander, you're very diligent!" Louis said with a warm smile as he helped Liu Yu up from his bow.

  Lui has been the captain of the guard beside King Krow for over a decade, and Liu Yu can be said to have grown up under his watch. Later, Liu Yu also followed him to clear out the man-eating demons in the Desa Mountains, so their uncle-nephew relationship is naturally much closer than that of ordinary members of the Weilin family.

  "Thanks, Uncle!" Facing Rui Liu Yu also felt very close, and it was much easier to get along with him than with Gilen, that cold-faced Buddha.

  "Alright, you two come in!" Louis patted Liu Yu and Bernan on the shoulder, then turned around and walked into the military tent.

  Liu's military account was set up very simply, with a small wooden table and several wooden chairs, a ground mat, which was the big account of this lieutenant general. When Liu Yu and others entered the military account, there were no guards or personnel inside except for a mouse servant who served tea and water.

  "Hmm, they really do advocate simplicity!" Liu Yu secretly praised in his heart after seeing the layout of Louis' military camp. In the two years he had been in the army, he had seen many high-ranking officers' camps in the Beastman Kingdom and found that the simple and powerful life philosophy of the Beastman Kingdom had penetrated into every corner of this country.

  Taking the Bi Mon tribe as an example, becoming a team guard can have its own independent military account, and becoming a travel envoy can have its own close soldiers. There are many other corresponding privileges. However, Liu Yu saw that the military accounts of the Bi Mon tribal officers were extremely simple, with no extra items, and some didn't even have extra chairs.

  Moreover, the personal guards of mid-to-high-ranking military officers only followed them closely when they were on duty. At other times, these officers did not like to show off and waste their soldiers' training time by having them stand guard at their tent entrances or attend to them constantly. Liu Yu had seen many mid-to-high-ranking military officers strolling alone in the military camp without bringing their personal guards.

  In comparison, the old lady at the end of the Qing dynasty was first beaten and fled to Xi'an like a stray dog, disregarding the lives of tens of thousands of people. When she returned to Beijing from Xi'an after the storm had passed, she still brought with her tens of thousands of attendants, servants, officials, and a large amount of treasure, returning in triumph. This ugly behavior is indeed one of the inferior aspects of Chinese national culture.

  "A diligent and frugal nation like this cannot, and should not disappear from the mainland." Thinking of the current situation of the beast tribe and their hardworking and self-reliant way of life, Liu Yu suddenly felt a sense of identification with them.

  ................

  "Uncle Tang, can I ask about this battle, what's the situation with the kingdom and Far North?" After entering the military account, Liu Yu and Louis chatted casually for a few words before asking his most concerned question.

  "Hmm, you're really interested in these military and national affairs, aren't you? Alexander, don't you think you're thinking too much? You're just a soldier now, and knowing many things will only bring you more trouble." Upon hearing Liu Yu's question, Louis, who was sitting upright on the main seat, showed a hint of strange and appreciative smile on his face.

  "This... Hall uncle, although I'm just a soldier now, but I want to be the general of the kingdom and also believe that one day I can become the general of the kingdom. So I need to familiarize myself with military affairs first. 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.' This is a sentence I read in the mainland history books, which I always think is very right."

  Liu Yu saw a smile on Louis' face and knew he would probably tell him some important news, even if his limited identity couldn't know everything. To confuse him, he casually brought up Napoleon's famous saying, the "Western Military God" who swept across Europe and shocked the world.

  "'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier'.......... Who said that?" Just as Louis heard the first half of Liu Yu's sentence, the smile of appreciation on his face grew even thicker, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly jumped up from his chair, thought for a moment, and looked at Liu Yu with a questioning and extremely interested expression.

  "Hmm, I don't quite remember either, it seems like it was many years ago, something said by a famous general of the kingdom." Seeing Louis's expression, Liu Yu hesitated for a moment before hastily making an excuse.

  "The person who said this must be an extraordinary soldier," Louis pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Bernard, who was sitting beside him.

  "This... I, Father's child didn't read many books and haven't heard of this phrase before." Bunan hastily stood up and said with an embarrassed expression.

  "Hmm, this isn't your fault. I've always taught you to work hard and cultivate diligently. Now think about it, mental state is just as important." Seeing Bern said he didn't know that Louis sat down at the same time, and carelessly waved his hand to signal Bern to sit down too.

  "Alright, when I came, Gaia also told me that if Alexander wants to ask anything, as long as it doesn't go against the kingdom's rules too much, you can tell him. Bernard, listen carefully too, learning these things early might come in handy later." Louis sat down and smiled at Liu Yu and Bernard after a moment of silence.

  "Yes! Father!"

  "Thank you, Uncle Tang!" Hearing Louis's words, both Bernan and Liu Yu responded immediately with different expressions.

  "Thanks for nothing!..... This time we've got the scoop, Saas and Rhein provinces have at least twelve regular legions and two guard legions. Autumn harvest has already begun in some places domestically, while most places will start within three days, I believe the Empire of Fanoed will still attack the Kingdom after the autumn harvest begins as per usual."

  But this time, Your Majesty and Gaya have issued an iron order, no matter what, to defend the fortress of Emarben. If it is lost here...” Nearly an hour later, Liu Yu and Bonna bid farewell to Louis together and left his military account.

  ..............

  "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier." Louis stood at the entrance of his military tent, watching Liu Yu and his own son walk away, feeling some inexplicable turmoil in his heart.

  "Gaia, or else you'll teach the kids, and if things go on like this, Barnam will end up just like me." After a long silence, Louis muttered to himself with a slightly relaxed expression.

  ............

  "Big brother, you mean this thing can be disassembled and transported by horse carriage." After leaving Louis' military tent, Liu Yu and Bo Nan happened to stroll by the few catapults placed in the canyon, and the two brothers chatted while pointing at the catapults.

  "Hmm, this big fellow weighs over a hundred thousand pounds. If we were to push it or use horses to pull it, how long would it take to get it from the Earthfire Fortress? We can only do it in seven days because it can be disassembled into over ten large blocks." Beran patted the hard black iron surface of the catapult as he spoke.

  "And I've also heard that this black iron is specially refined, even if a strong warrior like the Dou Wang were to use their full strength, it would be very difficult to completely destroy it." Ba Nan added after pausing for a moment.

  "Oh, I see. So the reason for not using wooden catapults is that you're afraid those strong enemy warriors who charge into the formation can easily destroy them, right?" Liu Yu understood the underlying meaning of Bo Nan's words as soon as he heard them.
