C773 Coming
This was the middle position of the Strange Beast and Harbour Island military camp, and it was located at the edge between them. Humans and Strange Beast would accidentally come here.
At the same time, the human assassins and the Strange Beast assassins will be lying in ambush here.
Therefore, this place was also a place where individual Strange Beast would frequently appear. This position was just right for Xu Fann, who was preparing to meet the Strange Beast.
Of course, although the Strange Beast here appeared more frequently, they still had to wait.
However, since there were two of them, the time they were waiting for wasn't too boring. Xu Fann wanted to know more about this, so the two started chatting passionately.
After chatting for a long time, Xu Fann finally understood what he wanted to know. At this moment, he thought about the Centurion who slapped him.
Therefore, he turned to Ye Xiang and asked, "Don't tell me that centurion's prestige in the military has plummeted because of this matter of slapping him."
The reason why he asked this was because he heard that Ye Xiang and the other 10 Captains had all heard the Centurions slapping their faces. This made him a bit worried.
Under normal circumstances, officers were extremely imposing. Once that image was destroyed, there would probably be a lot of people who would not be obedient to the officers' discipline.
"Nope." Ye Xiang shook his head and said, "Everyone in the Harbour Island knows that a genius is a special case of the Harbour Island. Some geniuses, even if it's a thousand-man commander, have to be respectful to him.
"Moreover, everyone can become a centurion, but there is a gap between the centurions as well. Anyone who can lead many of the centurions has a certain amount of brains, and is no ordinary centurion." He sighed and continued, "I believe that with his methods, he will not let this matter be exposed. Even if it were to be exposed, he will have a way to reorganize his army's morale and keep his position within the army unshaken.
With that, Ye Xiang's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.
In his eyes, there was only one person in the entire Harbour Island Army who could climb up there with a petty personality.
There was no need to hide the admiration in Ye Xiang's eyes. Naturally, it could not escape Xu Fann's eyes. This made him curious and he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any difference between the centurions?"
After asking, he looked at Ye Xiang. He really didn't understand what was the difference between the Centurions.
"Actually, under normal circumstances, the difference isn't too big. But because our Harbour Island only has five official ranks, namely soldiers, ten captains, hundred captains, thousand captains, and city lords, there's a gap." This kind of official rank is basically no different from the outside world. The only difference is, there's a type of ten-man commander that can only bring ten soldiers, the ten soldiers are dead, and the other type of captain is different, he can always bring ten soldiers, and after the ten soldiers die, there'll be another type of commander, so another type of commander will only be able to bring ten soldiers in.
After Ye Xiang gave a simple introduction, he glanced at Xu Fann and saw the novelty in Xu Fann's eyes.
"But Centurions are different. All people from the commander of 100 soldiers to 999 soldiers can be called Centurions." Therefore, he continued, "The lowest level centurions will be a hundred people, and among these people, there will not be ten centurions, but soldiers. The lowest level centurions will be a hundred people, and among these people, there will not be ten centurions, and among these people, there will be one centurion, and then two, and at the top, there will be six.
As Ye Xiang said this, the figures of several centurions appeared in his mind. These centurions were all people at this level, able to command 999 soldiers.
"If that Centurion from before has five ten-man captains, then he can be considered to be at the second level." Xu Fann said after hearing that.
However, his words made Ye Xiang shake his head. This made him somewhat puzzled.
"There are only a total of ten people in the entire Harbour Island Army that can command six centurions. Our centurions are one of them." Looking at Xu Fann, Ye Xiang said, "I guess you didn't count the one that brought you here before. That's actually a captain, but only four of his men died and he didn't add them."
Ye Xiang couldn't help but click his tongue when he mentioned the Tenth Leader that brought Xu Fann here. Because at that time, no one had been able to take this captain.
"Oh right, if there are 999 centurions under the centurion's command, then why can't they only have 6 or more centurions under their command, and wouldn't having 90 or so of them be easier to manage?" Xu Fann didn't ask the person who led the way, but asked about this.
After hearing what Ye Xiang said, this should be a question that he wants to know about.
However, Xu Fann's words made Ye Xiang roll his eyes. He could tell that the expert next to him didn't know how to manage things at all.
"Sir, you're wrong. The fewer captains there are, the easier it is to manage them." However, Ye Xiang was not annoyed by them and explained seriously: "Under the situation of 10 captains and young captains, every 10 captains can manage up to 100 people, which is equivalent to a single centurion commanding 6 captains, which is equivalent to a large officer overseeing 6 small captains, efficient, easy to manage, and if there are too many captains then the centurion will be demoted to a large 10 captains, managing many soldiers. Under this situation, the efficiency is slow, many soldiers will form their own camps, forming factions, and if they are on the battlefield, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause."
Simply speaking, after the 10th Party Leader is gone, the formation of the soldiers will at most be able to be maintained for six people. As long as the Centurions are able to adjust the relationship between these six people, it would be sufficient for the Centurions. As for the 10th Party Leader, after the 10th Party Leader is gone, the formation of the soldiers will be maintained for a few dozen. Ye Xiang added on, worried that Xu Fann wouldn't understand.
Xu Fann didn't really understand at first, but after hearing Ye Xiang's final supplement, he seriously nodded his head.
"What about the Captain? Is he the same as the Centurion? " Xu Fann lowered his head and looked under the tree. After making sure there was nothing under the tree, he asked again.
"A thousand-man commander is basically the same as a centurion commander. A typical thousand-man commander would lead four thousand to six thousand, and a stronger one would lead six thousand to eight thousand. The most powerful ones would lead nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine." Ye Xiang thought for a moment, then said: "Similar to our current City Lord, he was once the famous Captain. When our Ye Family was first built, he dumped three thousand soldiers and took down thirty thousand of our soldiers' Harbour Island, thus he also gained the title of White Robe."
Xu Fann nodded. If it was three thousand against thirty thousand, it could really be called the Chen Qingzhi of the Southern Dynasty.
"Roar!"
Just as Xu Fann was thinking this, a loud roar came from not far away.
"Bang! Bang!" The sound of footsteps followed by the shaking of the entire ancient tree was slowly approaching.
This voice made Xu Fann, who was deep in thought, turn his head to look. He knew that the Strange Beast he had been waiting for was about to arrive.
