The dragon just wants to stay at home, but the players are frantically upgrading their technology.

When Klaus saw the door open, he muttered a curse in a voice only Walton could hear before storming inside.

"Ah, it's Governor Reed who's here."

Zuo Zhengdeng, sitting at the head of the desk, looked up with a smile on his lips.

But Klaus Reid, being a native of this other world, obviously didn't understand this joke.

After he came in, he walked straight to the round stool opposite the guest seat on the left.

After sitting down, Klaus's gaze shifted and he saw the picture book that Zuo Zhengdeng had brought along with the Blood Knight's Secret Book out of curiosity.

The catalog was clearly indecent, featuring nude classical women and other explicit images.

"Heh~"

Klaus glanced at the contents of the catalog and sneered. This filthy kobold had a good eye for quality; the contents of this catalog were indeed exquisite.

Although he discovered that Zuo Zhengdeng shared the same interests, Klaus had no intention of showing any mercy. Instead, he chuckled coldly and said, "So, Zuo Zhengdeng is resting here looking at erotic picture books?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zhengdeng was taken aback. Looking down, he realized that he had been so focused on covering up the papers on the Blood Knight that he had neglected to cover up the study materials next to them on how to avoid the mosaic.

Turning his gaze away, Zuo Zhengdeng knew that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be.

Moreover, he is a player, while the person in front of him is just an NPC made up of a bunch of data.

"What does my private life have to do with you? Just focus on your duties as warlord."

Zuo Zhengdeng casually retorted, his expression indifferent.

"……it is good!"

Klaus paused for a moment, then replied with a "okay," his face turning cold as he looked at Zuo Zhengdeng and asked, "Zuo Zhengdeng, why did you stop here once you reached Jinmai Town?"

"Viscount Wald is besieged by kobolds and is in dire straits. We should be rushing to his aid, but you have instead taken up residence in Viscount Wald's castle. Under the guise of rest, you are secretly looking at erotic books. Are you worried that the kobolds are your kind, or have you been colluding with them all along, plotting to overthrow the Kingdom of Kosia?"

Klaus thought that after he finished speaking his words, which sounded like a resounding bell, and put the hat on Zuo Zhengdeng, Zuo Zhengdeng would realize his mistake and bow down.

But Zuo Zhengdeng didn't; he remained seated there, completely at ease.

Klaus felt something was off! In the past, when he said these words to Wharton or others, the other party would burst into tears, repent, and beg him to provide a solution.

Why is there no left-side forward pedal?

Chapter 208 Military Governor, Please Address Me by My Title

Why is there no left-side forward pedal?

Klaus's question was one that Zuo Zhengdeng couldn't answer; perhaps only Walton at the door could.

Are you questioning me?

He casually closed the picture book, then looked up, his golden vertical pupils staring at Klaus.

“I’m just fulfilling my duties as a superintendent, and I need to know your reasons for doing so.”

Klaus didn't back down at all, going head-to-head with Zuo Zhengdeng.

Seeing Klaus's expression, Zuo Zhengdeng knew that Klaus, that bumpkin, was here to cause trouble again.

"Pay attention to the wording, 'commander-in-chief'."

Having extensive experience dealing with Klaus, Zuo Zhengdeng extended his hand and said calmly in fluent Kossia, "Since the warlord is performing his duties, let's address him by his official title."

"Left pedal..."

"Position!"

Klaus's words were interrupted by Zuo Zheng's sharp voice.

"But...but you've only been in office for less than a month..."

Zuo Zhengdeng sat up straight, taking advantage of his height difference and the superior position to look down at Klaus.

"Commander, please state your title."

At this moment, the surge of power emanating from Zuo Zhengdeng exuded the ferocity unique to evil demons.

"Okay... Captain."

Faced with Zuo Zhengdeng's overwhelming pressure, Klaus, who had little experience, recalled his experience of being targeted by Zuo Zhengdeng in class and immediately cowered.

"Team leader, please tell me why you did this."

Klaus lowered his voice and spoke respectfully.

"Simple."

He leaned back in his chair, his tone indifferent.

"According to Viscount Wald's description, the kobolds are extremely powerful, equipped with cannons, indirect fire cannons, muskets, and hydrogen balloons, and number up to a thousand."

"There must be some exaggeration involved."

"Even if it's smaller, how small can it be? Viscount Wald might not even be alive."

Zuo Zhengdeng said jokingly, "Perhaps Viscount Wald has already been captured or killed by the kobolds. And those powerful kobolds are heading this way and will arrive here by tomorrow afternoon."

As a player, Zuo Zhengdeng clearly knew that things were as he described.

"Our weapons are more advanced than the kobolds', but if we encounter them on the way, or are ambushed by them, will we win or be eliminated?"

Zuo Zheng asked.

"This……"

Even Klaus, who only got into military school through his family and was considered a good-for-nothing, understood the situation. After a long pause, he stammered, "Lose...lose."

"Do you want to die, or do you want to be captured by the kobolds?"

Zuo Zhengdeng continued to ask.

"Forehead……"

Klaus paused, wondering if he really had to choose between two piles of shit.

Although his current situation isn't much better.

His family members had vested interests with Viscount Wald, so he was sent to rescue them.

Zuo Zhengdeng, the dog-headed man he hated the most, was half a rank higher than him, and Zuo Zhengdeng also controlled the command of the detachment.

He still harbored an inexplicable fear of Zuo Zhengdeng.

Even though he had consumed some of the family's resources and broken through to the second tier, he was still afraid.

"We suffered a defeat. I might survive if I'm captured by the kobolds, but you..."

Looking at Klaus's fair and delicate face and blond hair, Zuo Zhengdeng's eyes held a meaningful look.

"What...what's wrong with me?"

Klaus was a little confused and didn't understand what "left-hand pedal" meant.

"nothing."

Zuo Zhengdeng withdrew his gaze and smiled: "With your fair skin, if you meet a player from Chengdu, you might end up with a mountain full of chrysanthemums."

Zuo Zhengdeng spoke in Chinese, but Klaus couldn't understand him because he hadn't activated the language communication stone.

But Klaus still felt a chill creeping towards his backside.

Klaus shifted his position awkwardly as he listened to Zuo Zhengdeng continue.

"Wait... the scouts are the key?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Klaus, and he understood the key.

"Correct."

Zuo Zhengdeng nodded casually.

Klaus's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Zuo Zhengdeng's reply.

When they arrived in Jinmai Town at noon, Zuo Zhengdeng disregarded the advice of professional intelligence officer Joel and insisted on sending scouts to set up defenses at a point on the northern road to gather information.

That's like knowing the importance of scouts but still stubbornly going your own way.

Having found an opening to attack, Klaus laughed.

"Well, Zuo Zhengdeng! You know the importance of information, yet you still act arbitrarily, sending all the scouts to one point. What should you do then..."

"Commander, have you forgotten? Use your official title!"

But before Klaus could utter the word "crime," he was interrupted by Zuo Zhengdeng's cold voice, his face hardening.

"Okay...okay, Captain!"

Klaus, traumatized by Zuo Zheng's kick, immediately lowered his head, sat obediently, and stammered.

“As a kobold, and as a teacher of modern firearms ethics, I know very well where Viscount Wald would come from if we were to capture him, so…”

After Zuo Zhengdeng finished speaking, his expression turned cold, and he said indifferently, "Don't question my decision based on your military theory achievements."

Upon hearing this, Klaus's face immediately turned red, and he cursed inwardly.

Wasn't it because you were targeting me that my grades got worse?
