Chapter 609 What I fear most is disappointing the city lord!
"Sister Xiaoyu, please call these people on the list out and have them come with us..."
Inside the Hall of Merit, Xiaoyu was directing several girls to work when Wu Weier arrived with Erya.
"Third Aunt, Qing'er, Xiao Qing..."
Xiaoyu took the list and glanced at it with a puzzled look.
She had vaguely heard her younger sister, Xiao Zhuo, mention it.
The city lord established an organization called the "Dark Guard," which is very mysterious.
Moreover, the core members of the organization are all the city lord's closest people.
They wield unimaginable power, placing them above everyone else.
Even with her limited authority in Dragon City, she can only know a few fragments of information right now.
However, although Wu Weier looks young, her eyes are quite mature.
It seems that those beast-eared girls all follow her lead, which makes her even more extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Xiaoyu immediately nodded and smiled, "Leader Wu Weier, please wait a moment, I will call them over right away."
Soon, everyone on the list was called over.
There were elderly women and teenage girls.
Then, with trepidation, the women followed the beast-eared girls to the basement of the city lord's mansion.
Then, a familiar scene unfolded...
Dinner time, inside the apartment building.
"Did the guards look for you?" Xiaoyu asked her husband, who was casually eating his rice.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Chenlong asked in confusion, "Hmm, they've gathered all my best warriors and said they're going to reward them. What's wrong?"
"You pig-brain!"
Hearing this, Xiaoyu poked her husband's forehead in annoyance and snorted coldly.
“I told you to be careful and use your brain in everything you do. Although I’m not entirely sure what the secret guards do, they are definitely there to monitor you, but you’ve completely ignored it. Be honest, have any of your men been involved in any of the malpractices within the city defense forces?”
"No! Absolutely not! I promise you, wife, no one would dare!"
Chen Long quickly stood at attention and said firmly, "Besides, they are just minor matters. Newcomers always need time to adapt, and the city lord should not mind."
"You actually say it's a small matter?"
Xiaoyu glared at her husband and scolded him, "Drinking during work hours, dozing off and slacking off during the night shift, being late for work—you paid a hundred yuan to get away with it instead of recording it. And you're telling me these are minor things?"
As mentioned before, a large forest has all kinds of birds.
Now that the city's garrison has increased to over a thousand men, it's inevitable that there will be some disparities in their capabilities.
Some people have developed many bad habits, such as excessive drinking, slacking off, and laziness...
If strictly implemented according to the rules and regulations of the city defense army.
Many of these people could be dismissed or even court-martialed.
"Wife, these people are our comrades-in-arms, we have to give them some face, right?" Chenlong said somewhat awkwardly.
Those who carried out the punishments were their special operations teams.
However, since the ones who made the mistakes were all newcomers and did not make the mistakes intentionally.
It's just that the rules and regulations in Longcheng are too strict, and I wasn't used to it at first.
Moreover, these people also made great contributions during the last beast tide, and they are all comrades-in-arms in life and death.
Therefore, the special forces were somewhat perfunctory in enforcing military law.
Some special forces teams even accepted gifts and secretly let others pass through.
"You stupid!"
Hearing this, Xiaoyu said with a hint of disappointment, "The discipline of the city defense army is a matter of life and death for Dragon City, yet you have abused your power for personal gain because of brotherhood. If the city lord finds out, he will be very disappointed. Immediately notify the special forces to carry out the punishment!"
"Honey, don't be angry. I understand, I'll go right away."
Realizing that the city lord might be disappointed, Chenlong instantly understood.
He didn't even eat his meal; he went straight to the military camp.
At the same time, Captains and Commanders including Tie Nan and Danai were notified to assemble at the military camp.
"It's just a small matter, I hope the city lord won't hold it against you?"
Inside the military camp, Danai said somewhat uncertainly, "I've been to many cities before, and their soldiers are much more disorganized than ours. In battle, being brave enough to kill the enemy is the most important thing, right?"
Among the city's garrison troops, the most serious cases of favoritism and corruption were those of Danai's forces.
Because his men have a strong sense of brotherhood and are the most loyal to their cause.
As long as they are comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side and haven't committed any fundamental errors, they intentionally relax military discipline.
"Yes! Everyone fought very bravely!" Tie Nan, Zhang Shan, and others chimed in.
"Don't forget, this is Dragon City, and how much the City Lord values us! You don't want to disappoint the City Lord, do you?" Chen Long glanced at everyone present and said in a serious tone.
"The secret guards haven't made a move against us yet, but if we wait until they come knocking on our door..."
"We understand, we will carry it out immediately."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Each of them was personally appointed by the city lord.
They are not afraid of death; their only fear is disappointing the city lord!
Immediately, the special forces and city defense troops conducted a self-inspection.
Soldiers who previously violated regulations will all be subject to the appropriate penalties.
Some people take the money and do a perfunctory job, but others still obediently hand over the money.
"That's not enough. Each of us needs to write a self-criticism and submit it to the City Lord..."
........
So, after dinner.
"Lord City Lord, we have failed your trust..." Chenlong and the others said, holding a self-criticism in their hands, their faces full of shame.
As they spoke, the group handed over their self-criticisms and the money they had collected.
"Wu Weier, this is the problem you mentioned..." Xiao Yu took the self-criticism, glanced at it casually, and then turned to look at Wu Weier with a playful expression.
Wu Weier had already reported everything about the recruitment process to him during dinner earlier.
Today alone, she has recruited 29 people, and the secret guard team can be considered to be initially formed.
At the same time, testimonies regarding malfeasance and corruption within the city's defense forces were also presented.
Xiao Yu was pondering how to deal with Danai and the others...
Unexpectedly, these people realized their mistake in advance and took the initiative to come and apologize.
