Chapter 67: Arriving at the Border

Ji Chen, who retracted his gaze, began to look at the situation on the eagle's back, and he found that the back of this giant eagle was ridiculously large, almost like a large square, and there were at least a thousand people on it in addition to the thirty of them.

"Go! to that place. A soldier pointed to a clearing on the eagle's back and said sharply to Ji Chen and the others.

Looking at the soldier's fierce face, several people had to obediently walk to the open space and sit down.

After a few people sat down, a childish young man beside Ji Chen pushed his shoulder, "Hello, my name is Zhao Lansheng." ”

When Ji Chen saw that this person was wearing a yellow robe and his surname was Zhao, he knew that he must be from the Zhao family, and he immediately frowned, revealing a look of disgust.

The man smiled embarrassedly: "Don't be like this, brother, I know that you have a holiday with our Zhao family, but I am a sideline, and I have little to do with my family, so the unhappiness between you will not involve me." ”

When Ji Chen heard this, he spit out two words: "Side?"

Zhao Lansheng nodded: "Yes, almost all the people selected to participate in the war in the clan are sideline. ”

"I heard that it wasn't decided by lottery?" Ji Chen asked.

"Haha, you must know that participating in the border war means death, do you think the patriarchs will let their precious sons die? Except, of course, that you're special. ”

I see.

"My name is Ji Chen. Ji Chen looked at Zhao Lansheng and said.

"I know you, and your deeds have been preached throughout the city. Zhao Lansheng smiled, and suddenly leaned into Ji Chen's ear and whispered: "I heard that the Star Pavilion has ordered your life, it seems that the Ye family has taken over this job, but the Zhao Fan family suddenly took it upon themselves to send you to the border war, I don't know if the Ye family will be angry to death." ”

"Want my life?!Why?" Ji Chen asked in surprise.

"Of course, you have a strange fire, and the people of the Star Pavilion can't protect you, so in order to prevent other sects from seizing you, they simply kill you. Zhao Lansheng said with a smile.

After Ji Chen heard Zhang Lansheng's words, his brows were locked.

Zhang Lansheng pushed Ji Chen again and said, "But don't worry, when you get to the Dongzhou Border Army, they have the ability to keep you, maybe you can still mix well there." Hey, if you can really mix up a half-job by then, don't forget to take care of my fellow countryman. ”

Ji Chen smiled bitterly twice and did not speak.

After setting off from Chiba City, Ji Chen and the others have been staying on the back of the eagle, and they have continued to stop in dozens of cities along the way, and there are more and more people on the back of the eagle, and it even reached more than 5,000 people after two months.

One day two months later, the people on the back of the eagle suddenly began to make a fuss, and Ji Chen, who didn't know the situation, stood up from the eagle's back, looked up, and saw that an endless black mountain range suddenly appeared in front of him, and behind the mountain range was a vast black plain, and some places on it could be faintly seen flashing light.

At the back of the plain were countless tents of all sizes, as well as a phalanx of densely packed soldiers, and a little closer, Ji Chen faintly heard the roar of the noisy soldiers, as the giant eagle got closer and closer to its destination, the roar actually made him feel a little deafening.

Looking around to the left and right, there were several giant eagles flying in the same direction as them.

"The Black Python Mountain Range has arrived!Cubs, get ready to face blood and death!" Long Hao stood on the head of the eagle and yelled at the people on the eagle's back.

After a few breaths, the giant eagle began to lean down and sprint downward, accompanied by a violent wind, Ji Chen faintly asked There was a strange smell in the air.

With a bang, the giant eagle slammed to the ground, and the bodies of the people on the eagle's back were shaken to the ground.

"This is your greeting gift, weak little cubs, remember, from this moment on, you are a real soldier, and from this moment on, you will be threatened with death at any time, don't blame me for not warning you!" Long Hao yelled at them, and then showed a disdainful laugh.

"Let's all go down!" Long Hao shouted, and suddenly jumped off the eagle's head.

"Jumping down so high, what a cow, when can we be like him. Zhao Lansheng looked at Long Hao enviously and said.

"Don't think about it, let's go down from the eagle's tail obediently. Ji Chen patted Zhao Lansheng's shoulder.

When Ji Chen and Zhao Lansheng had just stepped off the giant eagle's body, another person suddenly jumped down from the giant eagle's head, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"This guy jumped straight down!"

"That's amazing!"

Zhao Lansheng opened his mouth wide and said, "I'll go, there are still such good people in our team?"

The man was dressed in a black robe, and his messy black hair was draped casually behind him. The man twisted his head as he landed, completely oblivious to the eyes of the others.

Long Hao was also instantly attracted by this person, walked up to the person and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man stretched and said, "Qi Tian." ”

"I hope you can keep going like this, even on the battlefield. Long Hao squinted and said.

Qi Tian yawned and ignored it.

As soon as he landed, Ji Chen smelled a pungent stench, he blew his nose and walked around the tail of the giant eagle.

When Ji Chen and Zhao Lansheng bypassed the giant eagle's body, a huge pit suddenly appeared in front of them, and there were newcomers like them walking over and then running away while vomiting.

Ji Chen curiously leaned over to take a look, it turned out that the pit was full of corpses in black armor, and the internal organs and stumps that could be seen everywhere inside were mixed together, and it was full of flies, and the pungent stench was emitted from it.

On the opposite side of the pit, two soldiers approached with a pile of corpses in a wooden cart, and then emptied the corpses on the cart expressionlessly under the gaze of everyone. The dozens of corpses had been clumped together, rolled around the pit wall a few times, then dispersed, and then finally pressed against the other corpses, and remained motionless.

Ji Chen couldn't help but take two steps back, and in the face of such a cruel picture, Ji Chen's chest also began to churn.

"Isn't it terrifying?" Long Hao walked to the side of the pit and said to everyone, "Tell you, this is just crawling back from the battlefield and then failing to treat it, on the battlefield, there are dozens of times more corpses than this! If you don't want to become like this soon, the only way is to become stronger, only strong enough, it is not you who falls to the ground, but your enemy." ”

Long Hao spat out, "Let me briefly explain, from today onwards, you are the soldiers of the third battalion of the Iron Blood Legion on the Dongzhou Border Battlefield, I am your detachment leader Long Hao, and you will also meet your captain Xiao Di at that time." Now, go to your dwelling and get acquainted with it, adjust it a little, and tomorrow, I will show you the cruelty of this world. ”

After speaking, Long Hao walked away without looking at others, and the two soldiers behind him began to lead everyone to the camp.

The so-called camp was nothing more than a large number of huge tents, each with dozens of wooden beds, a simple quilt on the wooden bed, and a pair of black armor and a long sword at the head of each bed.

Because Ji Chen and Zhang Lansheng reported together, they were assigned to adjacent beds.

Ji Chen was lying on the bed and looked at Zhang Lansheng with a languid look, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, are you afraid?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lansheng sat up, "Aren't you afraid? Think about the pile of corpses in the deep pit we saw when we first came here. ”

Ji Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he remembered what he was before, he used to be a person who was afraid of death, and now he can be so indifferent when it comes to death, it seems that since he came to this world, death has never left him half a step, but every time, it is the people around him who die. I don't know when Ji Chen was no longer afraid of death, the only thing he felt afraid of was that the person he cared about would be killed in front of his eyes again.

"Heh, you look like you're in your early twenties, if you've experienced a lot, you won't be afraid of death anymore. Ji Chen said with a smile.

"You are a few years older than me, how much more can you experience than me?" Zhao Lansheng pouted and said.

Ji Chen smiled bitterly twice and didn't answer, he lay down and closed his eyes, pretending that he was asleep, but he kept recalling the people who had left him one by one in his mind.

......

In the faint morning light, a soldier opened the curtain of the tent where Ji Chen was, and then slammed his fist on the ground, leaving a clear fist mark on the ground.

The loud sound and vibration instantly woke up dozens of people, including Ji Chen, who all looked at the soldier with sleepy eyes.

"Put on my armor in a single stick of incense, put on my sword, and assemble outside!" the soldier shouted in a loud voice, and then threw off the curtain of the tent and left.

The dozens of people in the tent were stunned for a moment, then quickly got out of bed and began to put on their armor.

After walking out of the tent, Ji Chen saw countless people running out of the tent one after another, and finally converged on a clearing in the distance, and the phalanx in the open space was getting bigger and bigger.

In front of the phalanx there was a tall stone platform, on which stood Long Hao and the two soldiers behind him, and beside Long Hao was a table with a stick of incense inserted in an altar on the table, which was already halfway burning.

After about a cup of tea, Ji Chen saw that the incense had finally burned out, and the last wisp of smoke had dissipated in the air. Long Hao, who was standing in front of the phalanx, suddenly said something to the two soldiers behind him, and then saw the two soldiers walking to both sides separately and stopping the people who were rushing to the phalanx, and then they stood aside again.

There were also several soldiers in the tent, one by one, checking to see if there were still people in the tent.

It wasn't until the man raised a hand to signal to Long Hao that Long Hao walked behind his hands to the group of people who were stopped.

He walked to the edge of the stone platform and glanced at the group of people roughly: "Very good. Long Hao nodded, "There are probably more than 200 of you who take military orders as child's play, and you don't take your own lives seriously, let alone the lives of your comrades!"

Long Hao suddenly roared angrily: "Those who don't know how to obey military orders deserve to die! But your comrades-in-arms should not pay the price for this! If this is to let you rush to the battlefield, then the people who rush to the battlefield according to the time of the military order are likely to die at the hands of the enemy because you people are late!"

Therefore, disobedience to military orders is punishable. Long Hao said coldly.
