Chapter 70: The Lu Family's Cruel Election Methods
Not to mention that the good wishes of the orc shaman leader are about to come true, now let's just talk about how the Darkiron Heavy Infantry Legion will face this dilemma?
Compared with before, the combat effectiveness of the current Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion is weaker by more than one grade, and the two thunderbolts have not only lost hundreds of elite soldiers in the Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion, but also seriously injured thousands of people.
Because the thunder and lightning brought them not only injuries, but also the thunder element left in the bodies of these thousands of Xuantie warriors, although it was evenly divided into thousands of parts, it would not cause continuous damage to the body, but it would also cause slowness, paralysis, and other conditions, and the Xuantie warriors in such a state were sending them to death when they entered the battle against the orc legion, so not only could they not participate in the next battle, but also took up part of their military strength to take care of them from being slaughtered by the orc legion.
Thinking about these two and two, the combat effectiveness of the Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion has plummeted, how can such a Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion fight with the orc legion that has been resting for a long time and is in good condition, even if it was in its heyday, it didn't say that it was pressing the orc legion, let alone now, if there are no reinforcements, then today next year will be the death day of all the Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion.
Lu Tiefeng was a little desperate at this time, not only because of the casualties of the Xuantie Heavy Armored Infantry Legion, but also because of the hole cards he had been relying on, his reinforcements had not yet arrived, which made him feel more and more unconfident.
He was afraid, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid that he would not bring back the Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion completely, he was afraid that the Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion would be destroyed in his hands by Lu Tiefeng, even if he went to Jiuquan, he would not have the face to see the commander of the Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion, and he was even more afraid that because of his arrogance, he would bury the reputation of the family and touch the honor of the Lu family for thousands of years, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid of the responsibility on his back, he was afraid of failing those who took a fancy to him and were disappointed by those who were optimistic about him, thinking of this Lu Tiefeng's heart was like being pressed by a mountain called responsibility, and it was difficult to breathe。
Taking a deep breath of the bloody air on the battlefield and calming down his emotions, Lu Tiefeng looked at the dark black iron armor in front of him, with a solemn face, each of them looked around vigilantly and did not dare to be sloppy, even if the thousands of Xuantie soldiers lying around him with a slight blue-purple electric current flowing from time to time, the tingling sensation stimulated their senses all the time, even so, they were silent, for fear that their cries of pain would affect those comrades-in-arms who were protecting their safety.
Looking at these men who were like iron beatings, Lu Tiefeng's originally excited and anxious mood gradually calmed down, these soldiers who were in such a situation due to his arrogance and imprudentness were still on duty, as the initiator of everything, what qualifications did the responsible military chief have to be afraid here, his current task Lu Tiefeng's current task is also the only task is to bring back this group of elites of the Xianwu Empire, safely, and completely, even if they fight for their lives, they must bring back these heroes of the empire.
This group of soldiers with a will as strong as steel infected Lu Tiefeng, making him determined to fight side by side with this group of people, live and die together, if he can't break through, then he Lu Tiefeng will never survive alone, and will definitely bury his bones here with all the soldiers of the Xuantie Heavy Infantry Legion.
Looking at the Xuantie warriors around him, Lu Tiefeng's eyes were slightly moist, since he became the commander of the Xuantie Heavy Armored Infantry Legion, he had seen a completely different scenery and life than in the imperial capital of the Xianwu Empire.
As the big family of the Xianwu Empire, the son-in-law of the Lu family, Lu Tiefeng has never lacked glory and wealth since he was a child, although Lu Tiefeng, who was born in a military aristocratic family, is not as gentlemanly as others, but he is also a noble child with a proud personality and an out-and-out aristocracy.
But since the patriarch of the Lu family, that is, Lu Tiefeng's father, Lu Zhongde, forcibly sent him to the Xuantie Heavy Armored Infantry Corps for training, Lu Tiefeng, a noble child who is not outstanding among his peers, has changed like a rebirth, and has begun to shine, showing his edge to the outside world unscrupulously, shaking the original fox friends and dog friends, every time they meet for dinner, when chatting at the dinner table, some people can't help but marvel again and again at the great change of Lu Tiefeng, as if he has changed a person, if he hadn't fooled around together since childhood, it would be impossible to recognize this as Lu Tiefeng, compared with him before, it was like two people。
Whenever he heard this exclamation with envy and hatred, and someone asked him why he was so brilliant and if there was any secret or something, he laughed on the surface and said nothing, but in fact shook his head behind his back and laughed at the whimsical idea that these people didn't want to work hard but wanted to succeed.
People who only know how to marvel at the success of others, don't know how much effort others put in behind them, and only think about success, but don't want to put in the effort, are not worthy of being with him Lu Tiefeng.
Others only saw that he Lu Tiefeng was successful, and he was brilliant in front of His Majesty and the elders of the major families, and the important ministers of the court, but they didn't want to think about how much he paid for it, and those families who envied him Lu family for this achievement and were deeply favored by the saints didn't look at how much his Lu family had paid to maintain this status.
The reason why his Lu family has been able to maintain until now, and generation after generation of people are in high positions in the Xianwu Empire, is all due to the rules set by the ancestors of the Lu family, every child of the Lu family, whether it is a son-in-law or a concubine, as long as there are descendants of the Lu family's bloodline, they must join the army when they become adults, and they must participate in the elite legions that often go to the battlefield, and become a grassroots petty official inside, in addition to the fact that the Lu family will appropriately reduce some promotion difficulties under the premise that they have military merits, the others will not help the slightest, all by their own hard work, and the one who succeeds in surviving after five years is the next patriarch of the Lu family, inheriting the noble title of the Lu family。
It is precisely because of such cruel selection methods that the status of the Lu family can be maintained from generation to generation, and only in this way can the top talents who have been tempered by iron and fire in the army be able to serve as the head of the Lu family.
But this cruel election method also made the descendants of each generation of the Lu family extremely scarce, and even almost broke the dynasty a few times, and this tragic price maintained the status of the Lu family, so nothing can be obtained easily for no reason, and behind this is a painful price that others do not know.
