The man at the head of the group explained, “There are two hundred and seventy-one Primus Guards in total, divided into three banners: left, middle and right, each with ninety men, each banner is divided into three battalions, each with thirty men, each battalion is further divided into three squads, each with ten men, with a commander, below which are the banner commanders of the three banners, the battalion commanders of the nine battalions, and the captains of the twenty-seven squads, I am the battalion commander of the battalion of the middle banner. ”
Saying that, he continued to introduce himself, “Apart from that, further up there is a sectional amba*sador, and five close guards beside the sectional amba*sador, but they are the people of a different system, and their status is much higher than ours.”
Li Yalin asked him, “What kind of official position is a knight-errant?”
The man replied, “A sectional amba*sador is the supreme commander of the entire garrison, in charge of the life and death of everyone in the garrison.”
Li Yalin frowned and asked, “Sectional envoy, commanding officer, primus inter pares, all these functional titles of yours seem to be very old, what is the origin of them?”
The man explained, “They all originated from the Ming Dynasty’s military military system.”
Li Yalin blurted out, “This organisation of yours has not continued from the Ming Dynasty to today, has it?”
The man said, “I’m not going to lie to you, the history of the dead soldiers who were manipulated and enslaved alone can be traced back at least three hundred years, so it’s likely that the organisation was first created during the Ming Dynasty, but I’m just speculating, I’m not too sure about the details.”
Li Yalin could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, then he settled down and asked again, “Then do you have any information on the identity of this sectional leader?”
“No.” The man shook his head and said, “The structure within the residence is extremely strict, and although we primus guards have a somewhat higher status than the dead soldiers, we are still objects of slavery to the organisation, and we do whatever we are ordered to do every day, so we don’t know the exact identity of the sect leader.”
Li Yalin pursed his lips and asked again, “If we divide them according to strength, which group is the strongest, the sectarians, the sectarians’ personal close guards, the primus inter pares, and the dead soldiers?”
The man thought for a moment and said, “We have never seen the sect leader and his personal close guards strike, but we are, in general, a little stronger than the dead soldiers, because we ourselves are the ones who stand out from the dead soldiers.”
Li Yalin asked him, “Do you primus guards usually go on missions?”
The man replied, “The primus guards only carry out emergency missions.”
Saying that, he further described, “For normal missions, there are usually dead soldiers to carry out, we will select the dead soldiers for the mission in advance, then make them deeply unconscious before setting off, then hand them over to the postman to transport them to the location of the mission, but this kind of preparation time before and after is rather long, and it is too late for unexpected events, so once there is an unexpected event, our Primus Guards will be in charge. ”
Li Yalin asked again, “Then describe to me all the details of the mission you received this time.”
The man thought for a moment and said in a clear voice: “We received the impromptu mission only a few hours before we set off. The section commander gave the commandant a picture profile of eight Nordic people, and the commandant selected seven of us based on the physical characteristics of the eight people in the picture, and after going through make-up at the copper mine, he led the team and took the plane to Bergen. “
