Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Dragging

Liu Shang stepped forward reflectively, his hand, calloused from years of wielding a sword, heavily patted the shoulder of Lame Man Uncle.

"Well done, with men like you our Eastern Army is bound to be invincible and unstoppable!"

...

At that moment, Bai Junjun blended into a corner of the crowd. To report here, she and Li Wenli had deliberately rubbed their Leviathan Skin with wood ash.

Like gray sparrows, although dirty, they successfully concealed their tracks.

Watching Liu Shang’s expression change from gloomy to sunny in just a few words from Lame Man Uncle, she felt as though she had watched a drama and further admired Liu Shang’s ambition.

This uncle, with his beard graying and one foot almost in the grave, still harbored such grand aspirations. Even if he truly conquered the land, would he even have a life left to enjoy it?

"The ancients pursued the glory of their clans; his own glory or otherwise did not matter to him as long as he could elevate his nephew. The Liu Family could then soar high, and that would be enough."

Li Wenli was like the worm inside Bai Junjun’s stomach; the moment Bai Junjun showed an expression, she immediately communicated with her without barriers.

Bai Junjun glanced at Li Wenli but did not speak again.

Thus, all seven hundred ruddy men were promoted to regular soldiers, and even 24 of them received the rank and rewards of a First-Level Official.

Their addresses would be registered by the Registrar and then they would be directly rewarded with a field, a house, and a servant in their hometowns.

As for the others, Liu Shang also gave each of them ten taels of Reward Silver, which they could carry with them or order the local courier service to distribute it at their doorsteps.

Having such good news delivered at home was also a sort of consolation. Everyone without exception chose to have the courier deliver the Reward Silver at their doors.

Liu Shang agreed to each one and then shouldered those trophies to return to the main camp.

Naturally, the new soldiers had to go and receive military supplies.

Normal soldiers were different from the ruddy men; they had military ranks, pay, armor, weapons, and even the food was much better than what the ruddy men received.

The ruddy men, originally the lowest and most despised, doing the hardest jobs and eating the coarsest food, now all rose to the same level, and even 24 of them became officials. This completely changed the status of the people from Death Valley.

Those who used to look down upon and humiliate the people of Death Valley were now quietly cowering. Those who used to boss them around no longer dared to give orders.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli followed Lame Man Uncle around, listening as he introduced the Armory.

The Armory, as its name suggests, was the place for producing and repairing weapons.

The easiest job was cleaning weapons, while the toughest jobs involved transporting minerals and forging weapons.

Previously, these strenuous jobs were handled by the ruddy men, while those able-bodied often cleaned weapons in the shade in the Armory.

Now, with everyone on the same rank and the people from Death Valley receiving special recognition and rewards from the Great General, the soldiers smartly let them handle the most comfortable jobs.

Regarding the Centurion who sacrificed himself at the Armory, Liu Shang, before leaving, appointed Lame Man Uncle as the acting Centurion, making it even less likely for anyone to dare offend him.

Meng Yi hadn’t expected Lame Man Uncle to have such good fortune; not only did he survive from the mouth of the Man-eating Eagles, but he had also taken the heads of over twenty Man-eating Eagles and even caught the attention of the Great General.

Although his rank was much higher than that of Lame Man Uncle, he knew it was unwise to provoke Lame Man Uncle when he was in favor, so Meng Yi planned to avoid his influence and leave.

Yet Lame Man Uncle stopped him.

"Supervisor Meng, please stay."

For a moment, Meng Yi couldn’t fathom what Lame Man Uncle was asking him to do.
