Chapter 143: Raising Hope
It turned out that Chen Ning originally planned to lead the Black Army to leave, but he didn't expect an earth-shattering cry to come from Kapok Town, and everyone thought that a zombie group had attacked here, so they hurriedly turned back.
But I didn't expect to run into Chen Anbang ordering the killing of prisoners, which completely angered Chen Ning, and he appeared to order Chen Anbang and them to stop. After all, Chen Ning was born in the slums, and he was once a member of the vast number of lowly and poor people, he deeply understood that if there was no way, who would want to be a traitor?
When Chen Ning was drinking to order Chen Anbang and the others to stop, he remembered the voice of the bloody tyrant in his mind: "Tsk, Chen Ning, you kid, you are usually quite shrewd, why are you stupid at a critical moment? If the people of the July Flowing Fire Legion want to kill the prisoners, let them kill them, they will kill the prisoners of war, and they will leave here soon." You can take advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak back and absorb a wave of blood with the devouring technique, so many captives, it can't be said that there is a river of blood, and the amount of blood is also considerable, you actually stopped them from killing the prisoners?"
"Oh bad old man, you shut up for me. β
Chen Ning reprimanded the Scarlet Tyrant in his mind, and then took Kan Jing and other subordinates, stepped forward with a black face, and came to Chen Anbang's team of stray fire warriors and those prisoners who hugged together in pain.
Chen Anbang's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at Chen Ning in disbelief: "Major Chen, what do you mean, don't you want to interfere in our July Burning Operation? Think about your identity, our commander Makino is a lieutenant colonel, and his rank is higher than yours." Our July Flame Legion belongs to the Imperial Elite Legion, and your Black Legion is not even an ordinary local legion, and its size is only one-fifth of our July Flame. I advise you that when you want to interfere in our internal affairs, you should first find out your status and strength. β
Chen Ning didn't seem to hear Chen Anbang's threat at all, and said expressionlessly: "Now that this place is taken over by our black legion, you can get out." β
"Order us, and let us go?" Chen Anbang laughed angrily, he finally stopped scruples, completely turned his face with Chen Ning, he laughed wildly: "Who do you think you are, you really take yourself seriously? You are the son of the wealthy family lord, or Lao Tzu's direct boss, you are just a puppy newly adopted by the Metropolitan Governor, and your black army is just a group of rabble, not even an ordinary army, you dare to take chicken feathers as an arrow, and order me to do it? Tell you, I will kill this group of captives, Zhan Hu!"
"In!"
"Prepare to shoot these rebels!"
There was a clattering sound of guns being raised and bullets loaded, and the bee stinging assault guns of more than two hundred stray fire warriors were aimed at the rebels in the square.
However, almost at the same time, the Black Legion soldiers such as the Bull Demon King behind Chen Ning also aimed their guns at Chen Anbang and the others.
Chen Anbang didn't expect Chen Ning's people to dare to point a gun at his comrades, this kind of thing can be big or small, if it is serious, Chen Ning will be sent to a military court.
The corners of Chen Anbang's eyes jumped suddenly, and he looked at Chen Ning angrily: "I don't believe it, you dare to kill us! If you kill us, it is equivalent to treason, not only Lieutenant Colonel Muye and Mu Shuai can't spare you, but even the empire can't spare you." β
Chen Ning pulled out the Thunder Pistol at this time, pointed it at Chen Anbang, and said with a sneer: "Don't worry, if you give the order to shoot, I will smash your head with one shot, and I won't kill your subordinates." I only killed you a little captain, and as a protΓ©gΓ© of the Metropolitan Governor, I can still easily afford this little crime. β
Chen Anbang stubbornly said: "I'm a captain, I don't believe you dare to kill me, do you think you can scare me with this trick?"
Chen Ning raised his eyebrows, smiling: "Try?"
Chen Anbang looked at Chen Ning's black muzzle, the corners of his eyes kept beating, and a chill rose inexplicably in his heart, he often participated in the fight, he had a sensitive sense of smell for death, and he had a faint feeling that if he dared to let his subordinates shoot, Chen Ning would definitely pull the trigger and blow his head to pieces.
Everyone at the scene, whether it was Chen Anbang's subordinates, those rebels on the verge of life and death, and the soldiers of the Black Legion, all looked at Chen Ning and Chen Anbang in unison. I saw cold sweat streaming down Chen Anbang's forehead, and finally defeated, he didn't dare to challenge Chen Ning's authority, he angrily asked his subordinates to put away the assault gun.
Chen Ning saw that Chen Anbang bowed his head and compromised, and also motioned to Kan Jing and the others to put away their guns.
Chen Anbang ordered his subordinates to evacuate here, and when he was leaving, he looked at Chen Ning and said hatefully: "You have a kind, your behavior today, I will truthfully report to our commander, I hope that the next time you meet our commander, you will be able to stink like now!"
Chen Ning smiled and whispered, "Get out." β
Chen Anbang took his men and left, and went to chase the July Flowing Fire army overnight.
Kan Jing looked at those trembling and overwhelmed rebels, and then looked at Chen Ning, who was thinking about how to settle these people, she suddenly raised her voice, blamed Chen Ning loudly, and said in a complaining and angry voice: "Commander Chen, they are the July Flowing Fire Legion, they are the noble legion, and Muye's grandfather is Marshal Mutian, why do you want to offend the Mu family for this group of traitors, and in the future, Marshal Mutian will blame it, and we will all have to go around without eating, for these traitors, is it worth it?"
Chen Ning was a little stunned when she heard Kan Jing's loud questioning, because Kan Jing usually understands him very well, and rarely disagrees with him, even if there is a different opinion, Kan Jing will also look at the occasion, usually she will use a tactful tone to persuade Chen Ning in private, and she will never question Chen Ning's decision so loudly.
After all, if a subordinate questions the decision of his superior, it will affect the majesty of the boss very much, and a slightly smarter subordinate will not do this.
Chen Ning looked at Kan Jing suspiciously, and saw that she was very angry, but a pair of phoenix eyes winked at her playfully and secretly.
Chen Ning was stunned for a moment, and then noticed the rebels next to him who heard Sugan's words, fell into thought, and even showed a moved expression, he instantly understood that Sugan was complaining about him on the surface, but the real intention was to take credit for him and these traitors.
Kan Jing's words were deliberately said to the traitors, which means: Major Chen Ning, at the risk of offending the generalissimo and being punished by the generalissimo, saved you, you should be grateful to him!
Chen Ning couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, this Kan Jing was really cunning.
But Kan Jing has acted for herself like this to earn a shout, so if she doesn't cooperate with her, it will really disappoint her kindness, so Chen Ning touched his nose and pretended to be righteous and said: "The big husband has done something and has not done anything, these people are the poor people of our empire, and they have to get up to resist the zombies and guard their homes." And they didn't directly join the rebels, they, the elderly, children and women, are all innocent, I can't watch them being killed, even if I offend the shepherd, even if I am dismissed and punished in the future, I will not regret saving them. β
When the rebels at the scene who were almost shot to death by the stray fire soldiers heard Chen Ning's words, they were all moved to red eyes, and tears flowed out, they felt that Chen Ning was really a good officer. If the officers of the empire were as upright, loyal, and as the supreme belief of defending the people like Chen Ning, then how could the southern provinces be abandoned, and how could there be rebels in the southern provinces?
For a while, the rebels were grateful to Chen Ning.
Chen Ning opened his mouth and said, "You don't have to be grateful to me, I just did what I had to do." Now you people have two choices, the first choice is that I will give you a map, you go towards the side of Suzaku City, there is a resettlement area for displaced people, you will be temporarily resettled in the past, the second option is our black army, there is a lack of some men and people to carry supplies, if you want, the physical condition is passable, you can join the army, but the realization shows that there is a danger to your life. β
Chen Ning paused and said: "Of course, if you go to Vermilion Bird City on the surface, secretly go to the strongholds of other rebels, and join the rebels, then I have nothing to say, but the empire does not allow the rebels to exist, if you defect to the rebels, I dare not guarantee that you will not encounter today's situation again, you can choose for yourself!"
Of the more than 1,000 rebels, more than 700 people finally chose to go to Suzaku City to live in the camp, of course, whether it was true or not, I don't know.
There are more than 300 healthy and middle-aged rebels who are young and middle-aged, moved by Chen Ning, and decided to join the Black Army.
Chen Ning got more than 300 logistics personnel for nothing, which reduced the usual pressure on the angel warriors and allowed them to concentrate more on the battle at any time.
Of course, what Chen Ning didn't know was that those traitors who left spread Chen Ning's reputation for not being afraid of power and caring for the people. Chen Ning later got a lot of benefits because of this, which Chen Ning did not expect.
