Chapter 246: On Paper
Around the river, thousands of people mixed together, and countless bonfires lit up reflected half of the sky.
The river flowed, as if frightened by the greetings, laughter, and persuasions of these rough men, and just wanted to flow away quietly.
"Brother, your outfit looks really magnificent, and it should be worth a lot of money. ”
"Well, it's the high-quality fabric selected, and the style is designed by Commander Xiao. A soldier of the Demon Legion replied.
"Hey, brother, let's discuss, can you help me with the whole set. ”
The soldier immediately replied: "Definitely not, I can help with other favors, I can't help with this favor, this is the uniform ...... the army." ”
Next to the fire, another disciple of the Xuanling Sect grabbed the conversation and sneered: "Isn't it just a spirit stone, you say, how much is needed, I will pay double." ”
As soon as he said this, several other soldiers sneered at the same time, and one of them said lightly: "What my comrade-in-arms said before was right, definitely not, you have misunderstood what he meant, it has nothing to do with the spirit stone at all, this costume is the identity symbol of our soldiers of the Demon Legion, who will neither nor dare to sell this symbol." ”
The soldiers at the fire all nodded, expressing undoubted affirmation of his words. The word comrade-in-arms in his words was also introduced to the army from the mouth of Commander Xiao.
But the cultivators from the Xuanling Sect and the Dongjun Sect sneered at the speaker, and one of them spoke: "In that case, if we go into the city to find a tailor to make a set and put it on, you will see it, and we won't come forward to force us off, right?"
"The brother who spoke is biased, you are free to do it, and we are just talking about our rules, irrelevant. The soldier's answer was wonderful.
Xiao Nan, Han Yusheng and others also talked very happily, but they had their own feelings in their hearts.
"How's the situation at Ikeda City?" Wei Shuangling asked Han Yuzheng, who was next to him.
"It's amazing. Han Yuzheng's soft, listless voice, her expression was extremely inconsistent with the essence of her words.
In the same tone, she continued: "The evil spirits attack once every three or four days, and each time hundreds of people will die, and the wounded are even more innumerable, scattered in the city, and there are heart-rending cries in every corner. ”
As soon as she said this, the happy mood of the people present suddenly disappeared, and everyone showed gloomy faces, Xiao Nan raised his wine glass and took a sip, and asked, "What about the people in the city?"
A middle-aged man beside Han Yusheng replied with a wry smile: "At this time, they must be imprisoned in the city, and there are hundreds of thousands of cultivators who have converged, and there is a constant influx of new cultivators, and many small things need to be done by the people in the city.
But then again, even if the people were allowed to leave, where would they go in the event of chaos? The other cities were heavily guarded and no one from outside the city was allowed to enter. ”
"Then the cultivator can get along well with the people in the city?" Xiao Nan blurted out.
The other looked up at Xiao Nan puzzled, "That's definitely not possible, at this special time, there will definitely be a lot of conflicts, and the people's houses will be requisitioned, and they will be required to pay manpower and material resources at any time." ”
"If you encounter these conflicts, how do you resolve them?" Xiao Nan asked.
"Kill!"
"Kill cultivators, or kill the people in the city who are unwilling to be bullied?"
As soon as Xiao Nan's voice fell, Lu Miaoying patted his arm.
Everyone could hear the resentment and sarcasm in Xiao Nan's words.
"Could it be that Brother Xiao has a better way? These cultivators have survived today, and they may die in tomorrow's rush, can they still take care of these details in such a tragic environment?" Han Yusheng asked Xiao Nandao in an equally dissatisfied tone.
"I can't say who has the best idea, but I feel that the resistance in Ikeda Castle is to eliminate the evil spirit army and poison the world, but they themselves hurriedly did it for the evil spirits first. ”
"Brother Xiao, how can you measure it like this? Who can tell which is bigger and which is smaller, you are a rare kind of smart person I have ever seen, why do you still have such ridiculous doubts?"
After Han Yusheng finished speaking, Xiao Nan sighed deeply and said weakly: "Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small." I'm not ridiculous, I'm not pedantic, but what happened between the cultivators and the common people in Ikeda Castle can be completely avoided without weighing it.
"The power of bullying others is an evil force, and the virtue of bullying others by virtue is an evil virtue, and it is doing things that merit the world, so why should you use merit to harm others?
"If you have done great good, you can take it for granted that you can do small evils? Accounts cannot be counted in this way, and reason cannot be said in this way. ”
Xiao Nan's words were very excited at the beginning, and then he thought that his truth came from another world, and this was a completely different world, so when he talked about the latter, his tone was also much weaker.
"You...... , what are you?
The truth of Menzi, which strong man has not had the blood of the weak on his hands? That powerful sect gang has not killed thousands of hostile forces? I really don't understand, how can you have so many empty ideas?"
Xiao Nan was dumbfounded by the questioning, he had the language of rebuttal, but he felt that there would not be a very strong rebuttal that could be easily won.
In the midst of everyone's dullness, Wei Shuangqi suddenly spoke: "I agree with Xiao Nan's idea, those people can go to Qicheng, and Qicheng can take them in." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Miaoying, Wei Shuangling, Xun Qianhu, including several regimental leaders, suddenly felt a flash in their minds.
They understood what Xiao Nan had just said, but they were still confused, but suddenly when they connected his words with what he had done in the past few months, they became clear and clear.
"I also agree with Xiao Nan's idea. Xun Qianhu said.
"Well, me too. ”
"We all are. ”
This group of people all made a statement, including Dong Guo Jing, who was leaning on her second aunt's shoulder, and they all straightened up and nodded very firmly.
The people of the Xuanling Sect and the Dongjun Sect were all stunned.
One of them sneered twice and asked, "Then I want to ask, you soldiers of the Demon Army will not oppress the weak, and regard the lives of ordinary people as important as yourself." ”
Xiao Nan had no intention of stangling with them on these issues, nor did he have the intention of refuting their man-made things.
But Fan Tuanshou on the side also sneered twice, and then replied solemnly: "Those who deliberately bully others will be driven out of the Demon Legion, and those who intentionally kill will be paid for their lives, this is the rule of our Demon Legion!"
"And what if someone provokes you, and the one who provokes you is better than you?"
This time it was Han Tuanshou who was sitting side by side with Fan Tuanshou who opened his mouth to answer, his voice was extremely cold, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, I will offend people, and if I am far away, I will be punished, if the person who deceives me is stronger than me, I will find a way to kill it." This is also the rule of our Demon Legion!"
His words were like a sharp knife to his throat, which made the more than ten outsiders present change their complexions when they heard it, and their hearts trembled.
They know the weight of this sentence, the origin of this demon army is not trivial, although the number is small, it is a combination of two major sects and a first-class sect, not to mention that there are people from Xunjiabao and the Gu family to join, who dares to provoke?
It wasn't a pleasant night, both for the soldiers of the Demon Legion and for the guests who came to the Demon Legion.
At first, the two completely different ways of thinking were still violently colliding around the fires, but later, the two sides muffled themselves and tried their best to talk about some other topics.
"Are you going to enter the city tomorrow, or are you looking for a camp outside the city?" asked Han Yuzheng sneeringly.
Of course, Xiao Nan had already made a decision in his heart, but he didn't want to say it just like this, so his eyes looked at the head of the regiment and the battalion leader, Xun Qianhu, and Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao's eyes also looked around at everyone before he spoke: "Commander Xiao, we don't have to enter the city. There are only two possibilities for the Demon Legion to get along with the teams in the city when they enter the city, one is for our soldiers to change their words and deeds, and the other is to change the words and deeds of those teams in the city, and I think neither of them is likely to be possible. ”
"Well, Commander Xiao, Gu Yingshou's analysis is in place, we can't enter the city. Han Tuanshou frowned and looked at Xiao Nandao.
Several others said the same thing to him.
Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I have thought of one place with everyone, Feng joins the army, you inform Pan Cheng, send more scouts to pay attention to the surrounding environment of the battlefield, and draw a rough topographic map to give to me." ”
Feng Yan took the order and left, and Xiao Nan said to a few people again: "Xun Camp Leader, from tomorrow, you don't need to train the reserve army, you start to manage your Sharp Knife Battalion, and be ready to fight at any time." ”
"The reserve army will depend on you two training. Xiao Nan glanced at Gu Mengluo and Uncle Wei, and the two of them also nodded silently.
"The training ground of the two of you should be within fifty miles of the Demon Legion. It is also necessary to have a high degree of vigilance, and it is possible to bring the reserve army into battle at any time.
"If there is any situation, I will send someone to inform you in advance. If there is no situation, there is absolutely no slack in training.
Half a month later, I hope that more than 200 people will be able to officially become soldiers of our Demon Legion. If there are new recruits who are willing to join, they will still be selected for the reserve according to our rules. ”
Xiao Nan's orders were issued to the officers present one after another, and giving orders and receiving orders were carried out in front of Han Yusheng and them in such an orderly manner.
In less than ten minutes, these things were distributed by Xiao Nan, and it was still midnight, and there were still two or three hours before dawn, so these people who received orders were still gathered around the fire, enjoying a cup of wine.
After reading all this, Han Yusheng raised his glass to Xiao Nan and said: "Brother Xiao, it is really an extraordinary person, I really opened my eyes today, come, Brother Xiao,
I toast you. ”
Xiao Nan smiled, and the two raised their wine glasses and raised their necks at the same time.
Han Yusheng put down his wine glass and said, "Brother Xiao, I have something I want to say to you, but I don't know if I should say these things to you." ”
"Please!"
Han Yusheng tapped his fingers on the wine glass, looked at the roaring bonfire in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "As soon as I looked at the few people around you today, I knew that the combat effectiveness of the demon army you trained must have increased by a few percent. ”
He groaned for a moment and sighed, "The number of evil spirits, hehe...... With a few thousand of you, you won't be able to withstand a battle!"
He had expected someone to answer, or someone to refute him with angry words. But after a moment of silence, when he raised his eyes to look at everyone, he saw that their faces were calm, and they looked at him with even calmer eyes, as if waiting for him to continue.
"The 1,000 people I brought with me, although they didn't have as much planning and discipline as yours, were all brave and strong. At that time, when we encountered more than 100,000 evil spirits, we also dared to intercept and kill, until our spiritual power was exhausted, and then we began to retreat, although we were almost wiped out. ”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly shrank, like two sharp blades flying out, "Do you know how many evil spirits we have killed?"
"How much?" asked Han Tuanshou.
"At least twenty thousand, one to twenty. His handsome scholarly cheeks suddenly showed a desolate and tragic color, but they were filled with more pride and pride.
"We're not going to fight those evil spirits like that. Xun Yue pouted.
"That is, we are only going to kill evil spirits, and we are not willing to trade our lives for them. Wei Shuangqi took Xun Yue's words.
She was patted by her sister Wei Shuangling as she spoke, and she muttered softly unconvinced: "It was originally true." ”
Han Yusheng and these outsiders didn't understand the meaning of these two women's words, but they felt that they were robbed by the two for no reason, which made the tragic feeling that lingered in their minds because of Han Yusheng's words disappear inexplicably, and they don't feel that it is a taste.
After being silent for a long time, Han Yusheng's subordinates said angrily: "I understand what you mean, but when you see the evil spirits of the brigade, you will be forced to flee to the side, and you will attack again when you see the scattered evil spirits." ”
"This is also called going to war? You are out on a safari, right?" said the other, sneering and teasing.
Xun Qianhu and the others wanted to open their mouths to refute it, but Xiao Nan raised his hand to stop them, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "We are just talking on paper here, it's not interesting, don't talk about it now, it will disturb the interest of all of us in drinking." ”
Whether it was Xiao Nan or the officers under him, through this night's conversation, they all had a little disdain for everyone else.
"Second aunt, half of the team you led has also been lost, and this thousand people were made up later. Dong Guo Jing opened his mouth at this time.
"Well, yes. ”
"Second aunt, let's also join the reserve army of the Demon Legion. ”
"What?" several members of the Dongguo family exclaimed at the same time.
"Believe me, in the past few months, I know that this demon army trained by Brother Xiao is ...... with us It's not the same as what we've seen. Second aunt, you just believe me. Dong Guo Jing was a little excited.
"I can't just call the shots. ”
Their conversation attracted everyone's attention, and Wei Shuangling chuckled, "Junior Sister Dongguo, don't force them in this matter. ”
Dong Guo Jing hummed a little disappointed, and then asked, "Second aunt, where are you going tomorrow?"
"Han Gongzi and I originally discussed, and we wanted to get together with your team and fight together. However, each has its own plans, each uses its own plan, and does not interfere with each other. ”
Han Yusheng chuckled when he heard this: "We discussed it like this, Brother Xiao, you think this arrangement is good, will you refuse?"
"No, but my people can't mix with you as casually as they do today. Xiao Nan replied cautiously.
Han Yusheng and the others, including the people of the Dongguo family, heard him say this, although they responded in their mouths, they were extremely angry in their hearts.
There was another silence, until the eastern sky, where a flush of red.
Xiao Nan got up, and all the officers also stood up with enthusiasm.
"Assemble the team and get ready to go!" Xiao Nan said loudly.
"Assemble!" "Assemble!" "Assemble!"
The empty field suddenly resounded with roars one after another.
It was as if it was a visual feast, unfolding in front of the eyes of the disciples of the Xuanling Sect and the Dongjun Sect.
A team of thousands of people, in just over a minute, stood quietly in the wilderness like dozens of square formations.
The four or five thousand people of the demon army and the reserve army are like sculptures made of steel, their eyes are burning and they are not moving.
They are waiting in this way, waiting for the next order that the officers are about to give!
