Chapter 138: Fifth Battalion
After refusing Li Kaixin's suggestion to help mediate, and only asked her to help pay attention to the information related to the 'Blue Cross', Lin Ze put away his mobile phone.
The taxi happened to arrive at the school gate at this time, he paid to get out of the car, returned to the downstairs of the dormitory, skillfully climbed through the door, did not alarm the aunt in the small room, and quietly returned to the dormitory.
The three roommates had already fallen asleep, and they were used to Lin Ze's late return from time to time, but they didn't worry or ask questions.
Lying down on the bed, Lin Ze took out his sunglasses and put them on, and logged in to "The Court of the King of Spirits".
Routinely, he first went to the arena to apply for actual combat, and after dealing with dozens of Gray Horned Horns, he finally received a message that the achievement had been achieved.
Congratulations to player 'Raven' for achieving the achievement 'Horned Slayer III' and earning 20 points
"Next up is the 'Horn Slayer IV' achievement, if the conditions are met, it should be to kill 10,000 Horn Clan. ”
Lin Ze pondered for a while, turned around and returned to the Shu family's mansion, and found Shu Song, who was studying with a scroll in the study.
"You're going to take over the army today?"
After hearing Lin Ze's intention, Shu Song's face showed a deep expression, and after a while, he bowed his head slightly, "It's okay, Li Baoshan, they should have almost integrated the army, and it's just right for you to take over now." ”
As the words fell, she waved a servant and whispered a few words.
The servant said yes, turned around and retreated, while Shu Song turned his head and smiled at Lin Ze and said, "I'll let Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng come over, and you can meet the two of them first." ”
"They are ......"
"Your deputy, the two deputy commanders of the army, before they were transferred, happened to serve in the Horn Exterminating Army, they have extremely rich experience in dealing with the Horn Clan, and their ability to lead the army is also not bad, if you don't understand anything, you can ask them for advice. ”
"I see. ”
It didn't take long for there to be a burst of low footsteps outside the study, and under the leadership of the servants, two middle-aged men in light clothes and armor walked in and saluted Shu Song and Lin Ze.
As his name suggests, Li Baoshan is really as large as a small mountain, and the muscles on his body are tightly arranged like iron bumps, holding his clothes and armor tight, looking like a fortress of muscles.
It's hard to imagine that he's still a psychic artist.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a game world of the Ten Thousand Laws, Lin Ze would probably think that he was taking the refining route.
Ye Zheng is relatively in line with the image of a spiritual magician, with a long body, an elegant temperament, and a faint smile on his face, which makes people feel good when he looks at it.
"Sit down. ”
There was an outsider, Shu Song regained his indifferent look and waved his hand gently.
After Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng sat down on the chair below, she continued: "Ye Zheng, you are most familiar with the situation of the city guards, so let you explain it to Xiao Ze." ”
"Yes, my lord. Ye Zheng first responded respectfully, then looked at Lin Ze, and said thoughtfully, "Your Highness, the city guards now have a total of more than 20,000 people, a total of five battalions, each battalion is about 4,000 people, and His Royal Highness is the commander of the fifth battalion, and Baoshan and I are your deputy, that is, the deputy commander of the fifth battalion." ”
"The current supreme commander of the city guard army is the corps commander Huang De, but he is relatively old, and it is estimated that it will not take long to retire from the position of corps commander, so he doesn't care much about many affairs in the army now, and most of them are handled by the five battalions respectively, so the current situation of the city guard is a little complicated. ”
Lin Ze was curious: "Complicated?
If the corps commander doesn't care about anything, without a sovereign person, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the remaining five battalions to coexist in harmony.
"Your Highness guessed right!"
Ye Zheng bowed his head slightly, "The conflict between His Royal Highness and the eldest princess has also spread to the city guards, and now the two sides are evenly matched, the first battalion and the second battalion are the people of His Royal Highness, and the two commanders of the third and fourth battalions have also been co-opted by the eldest princess, except for the fifth battalion, the city guards are almost completely divided and controlled by His Royal Highness and the eldest princess!"
"I see. Lin Ze felt a slight surprise.
No wonder the legion commander Huang De didn't want to take care of things, this was planning to stay out of the matter and not get involved in the struggle for the throne.
Wait a minute!
Lin Ze's expression suddenly moved, in this case, wouldn't he belong to a third-party force in the city guards, and he wouldn't be mistaken by those two cheap eldest brothers and sisters for interfering in the struggle for the throne, right?
Although he didn't have the heart to do that at all.
Ye Zheng had been secretly paying attention to Lin Ze's expression, as if he had guessed his thoughts, and said: "According to the instructions of the head of the family, during this time, Baoshan and I have politely declined the invitation of the commanders of the other four battalions, tried to minimize their private interactions, and clearly did not participate in the struggle between them. ”
Lin Ze looked at Shu Song, who smiled slightly: "Didn't you say that you don't plan to get involved in the struggle for the throne." ”
"That's right. Lin Ze nodded and looked at Ye Zheng and Li Baoshan, "Let's continue to do this in the future, we will only concentrate on hunting the Jiao Clan, and we will not mix the rest." ”
"Yes!" Ye Zheng and Li Baoshan replied respectfully.
Shu Song had already been angry with them, and Lin Ze joined the city guards to kill the Jiao Clan, so the two of them were not surprised when they heard this at this time.
Even so, their hearts were still full of doubts, and they really couldn't figure out why Lin Ze was so obsessed with killing the Horn Clan, and joined the City Guard just for this?
It's incomprehensible!
However, doubts are doubts, but Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng did not dare to object, let alone slacken, not to mention that Lin Ze was a member of the royal family, and there was still a big aristocratic force of the Shu family standing behind him, and he himself was also a genius that was rare to see in a hundred years.
The results of the Great Competition of the Spiritual Art True Yang Academy have already spread throughout the royal court, and everyone knows that the Second Highness Lin Ze has only been practicing for less than four months, and he has been promoted to a fourth-order spiritual master, and has created many compound spiritual arts, and even the dean Su Xi is amazed by the excellence of his talents, saying that he will definitely be promoted to a great spiritual master in less than three years, and even the seventh order is not impossible.
Geniuses with potential and strength can be respected wherever they go, and it is understandable that there are some difficult thoughts to speculate.
"Then, without further ado, let's arrange to go out of the city as soon as possible to kill the horned clan. Lin Ze immediately made a decision.
Ye Zhengdao: "Every half a month, the city guards will patrol within a radius of ten miles from the royal court to clean up the horn tribes wandering nearby, and the next patrol will be in just two days, if His Highness wants to, his subordinates can immediately apply to the top for this dispatch by the five battalions!"
"Well, so be it. ”
After deciding the time to leave the city the day after tomorrow, Lin Ze said goodbye to Shu Song, and went to the barracks accompanied by Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng, first visiting the corps commander Huang De.
Huang De looks like an ordinary old man in good spirits, without any scruff at all, and looks very easy-going, which is a bit unexpected by Lin Ze.
After returning to the fifth battalion, Li Baoshan immediately gathered a group of middle- and lower-level officers and held a short meeting, mainly to let Lin Ze get acquainted with the people.
After the meeting, Lin Ze left the barracks straight and hurried to the academy's retreat room to continue cultivating spiritual arts.
He has not fully mastered the Wind Feather Spiritual Technique yet, not to mention that he will have to fuse his soul energy and transform it into the Red Lotus version of the Spiritual Technique, and in the next period of time, Tai Ban's cultivation energy is estimated to be spent on this.
Two days went by in a flash.
Ye Zheng was very reliable, and when Lin Ze arrived at the fifth battalion that day, he had already arranged everything, and a total of 2,000 sergeants lined up in a neat and orderly queue, standing in the spacious square, with great momentum.
In addition to this, fifty robed psychic magicians were waiting along.
"Your Highness, considering that the scope of this operation is only within a radius of ten miles from the royal court, my subordinates suggest that only half of the men and horses should be brought with us, so that the speed of the march can also be slightly accelerated, and the efficiency of cleaning up the horn clan will be improved!"
"Well, you're familiar with that, so let's do as you say. ”
Lin Ze said as he looked at the team of spirits in front of him.
According to Ye Zheng, the average strength of the spiritualists in the City Guard Army ranked last among the three major legions, and most of them only had first- and second-order strength.
It's like the team in front of you, more than eighty percent are first- and second-order spiritual magicians, and very few have reached the third order, even if they are the team leader, they are only third-order spiritual magicians.
Retracting his gaze, Lin Ze turned his head and ordered, "Give the order to go." ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As the order passed down, the army of Nota began to move, marching mightily towards the city gates.
The barracks of the city guards were set up in the outer courtyard, and not far away were the towering walls.
In the royal court world with a spiritual system, building a city wall is much simpler than the sword world, a spiritual master who has mastered the mimic spirit art and can control the energy of the earth system can withstand hundreds of ordinary laborers, so the city wall of the royal court is far taller, and the whole body is made of hard granite, the height has exceeded fifty meters, and the thickness has exceeded ten meters, completely crushing the giant wall of the blackstone settlement.
Passing through the huge and thick city gate, the five battalions of troops marched slowly, and Lin Ze, Ye Zheng, and Li Baoshan walked at the forefront of the team.
When you look up, you can see a wide and flat loess avenue, and not far from both sides are large areas of vibrant farmland, with golden wheat and rice undulating like waves in the breeze.
Lin Ze looked at it a few more times with a little novelty, and then looked farther away.
At the end of the field of vision, a large area of desolate and dilapidated yellow can be faintly seen, giving people a sense of gloom.
As you walk, the surrounding environment gradually becomes depressed, and all you can see is sand, gravel, loess, and huge rocks scattered on the empty wilderness, and only occasionally you can see a little green, which is scattered small bushes.
"It looks quite similar to the wilderness of the Knife World, they are all the same desolate and sparsely populated, and I don't know how those horned people survive in this environment. ”
As soon as Lin Ze's thoughts surfaced, he saw a spirit beast in front of him running back quickly, coming to the queue of spirits, and after a while, someone came to report that he had found a small group of horn clans in front of him.
