Chapter 27: Barracks Negotiations

As the pastor of the Shangjiang City area of the Holy Light Sect, Qu Xiao had always had a pimple in his heart when he left the Spider Valley last time.

Since the live broadcast of the Holy Light Sect, because of Margarille's charm, many people have taken the initiative to join the Holy Light Sect.

Now Qu Xiao intends to locate the church directly in the city, and this confidence comes from the increasing number of congregational members.

Those who were confused took the initiative to donate a lot of money, so that the condescending people in this matter had confidence.

However, the gathering place of the congregation is still in the buffer zone of the safe zone and the danger zone.

There is a reason for this, the city government and the Mage Alliance are dissatisfied with the Holy Light Cult and suspect that the missing people in the city have been snatched by the Holy Light Sect.

However, because they had no evidence, they could not directly crusade against the Holy Light Sect, but the Mage Alliance warned the heads of the Holy Light Sect not to set up the church in the city.

As a result, Qu Xiao decided to set up the gathering place in the buffer zone.

The City Guardian Mages are also a buffer zone that operates in the safe zone and the danger zone, and they ensure the absolute safety of this buffer zone.

Their duty is to ensure the safety of the buffer zone, and once the alien beast breaks through the buffer zone, it means that the mage has lost the power to defend the city.

Qu Xiao set up the gathering place in the buffer zone precisely because it was very strategic for him.

On the one hand, it is because the mages guarding the city ensure the safety of the buffer zone, and on the other hand, once the mages make any moves against them, they can immediately pass through the buffer zone and enter the danger zone, then the mages have nothing to do with him.

The mage guarding the city was also very helpless, and persuaded Qu Xiao to let him pull the power out of the buffer zone.

Qu Xiao relied on the large number of people, and set up his base camp here.

Basically, they are simply built, and it is good to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, but in a short period of time, it is impossible to build a large-scale building.

Qu Xiao was stunned and squeezed into the buffer zone and stood firm, which made the mages who defended the city angry.

But after consulting the Mage Alliance, the Mage Alliance still asked this side to wait for the opportunity and not to touch the Holy Light Sect for the time being.

On the side of the mages guarding the city, they have sent people to monitor them three times.

All three times have been lost.

Wang Xuzhong, who used to be the first captain of the city defense team, and Chu Letian, the second captain, are now the heads of the city defense army in the strategic buffer zone of Shangjiang District.

They led 10,000 mages to defend the city, sitting in the buffer zone.

This is the third time that the surveillance personnel have disappeared, which makes the two extremely annoyed.

Wang Xuzhong asked Chu Letian to go to the Mage Alliance in person, and the reply he got after coming back was still waiting for the opportunity.

The Mage Alliance said that it was waiting for an opportunity, the time to completely defeat the Holy Light Sect, and it would launch a crusade against the Holy Light Sect.

But this is not the time, because the loss of many people has made them support the Holy Light Cult like never before.

If you crusade against the Holy Light Cult at this time, you are standing on the opposite side of the people.

The current Mage Alliance is linked to the decision-making of the city government, unlike in the past, when the government and mages had a certain antagonism.

Therefore, the decision of the Mage Alliance represents the decision of the entire city's higher-ups.

In desperation, Wang Xuzhong had no choice but to admit it.

However, the surveillance of the Holy Light Cult is still ongoing, but the monitoring personnel are no longer close to the gathering place of the Holy Light Cult.

Although there are only a dozen missing people, these city defenders, also known as city defenders, are all front-line mages, and they have the same characteristics as soldiers in the past.

Their training is also completely militarized, and they have a deep affection for their comrades.

The missing comrades-in-arms who don't know life and death make them feel as angry as Wang Xuzhong.

If it weren't for the restraint from above, they would have rushed to the gathering place of the Holy Light Sect long ago and completely eradicated it.

But as an army, the first purpose of the garrison is to obey orders.

Since the order was given by the superior, it cannot be disobeyed.

Today, Wang Xuzhong and Chu Letian were at the command post discussing countermeasures against the gathering place of the Holy Light Sect in the buffer zone.

At this time, the commander of the reconnaissance company hurriedly came in, his face was very nervous.

Chu Letian scolded: "As a company commander, what kind of system is it to be in a panic?" Have you fed the dogs with all the things you train on weekdays? ”

When Wang Xuzhong saw him like this, he had a hunch that things were not simple.

He asked, "What happened?" ”

The company commander hurriedly saluted: "Report to the chief, thirty miles away from us, my brothers have discovered a large-scale gathering of zergs. ”

Chu Letian's face was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "How many are there?" ”

"The number is no less than 100,000, and the defenders of Qingyun City have sent a message asking for help, saying that there is also a large-scale gathering of Zerg over there, and the same situation as our side, the number is no less than 100,000."

This time, even Wang Xuzhong, who has always been calm, was shocked.

"Has the combat power of the Zerg gathered detected it?"

The company commander had a tragic meaning on his face, and said in a deep voice: "These zergs, the demonization rate has reached about one-tenth. ”

Chu Letian closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"This is a tough battle, such a high demonization rate, such a large-scale gathering, our army's casualties will definitely be extremely tragic."

Wang Xuzhong glared at him and blamed: "As the commander of the defending army, you should think of countermeasures, instead of saying some frustrating words. ”

At this time, a guard walked in, gave a military salute in a dignified manner, and said, "Report to the chief, there is a person outside who said that he has come to solve the current dilemma for the chief." I persuaded him to leave, and he insisted that he had a solution. ”

"Who is it? Such a big breath! ”

Chu Letian didn't believe that one person could solve the dilemma.

Wang Xuzhong didn't say anything else, and asked the guards to bring the man in.

It was a young man who looked no more than twenty years old.

A lazy look, like a pair of eyes that have just woken up, a listless attitude.

This looks like an ordinary to mediocre student, and there is no expectation in Wang Xu's center at all.

Chu Letian smiled sarcastically, and then said angrily: "Little brother, you are still a student, right?" This is the command post of the barracks, not the testing ground of your school. ”

"Do you know what's going on? Thirty miles away, there are 100,000 Zerg gathered, and they may launch a siege in the next moment. It was a war full of blood and corpses, and you actually broke into the barracks and said that you could deal with the 100,000 Zerg. I don't care how you broke in, I'll let you go this time for now, and I won't make an example. If there is a next time, I promise that I will correct you on the spot. ”

Wang Xuzhong also said: "Little brother, we are soldiers defending the city, once the war is launched, every soldier defending the city may die on the battlefield." It was a brutal war, a battle to the death, we military mages were risking our lives to protect people, and you are already an adult, you should understand some truths, don't joke with the soldiers, you can't afford this joke, and we can't afford it. ”

The two of them said so much that they didn't give Xu Qiu a chance to say it at all.

After they were all finished, Xu Qiu said: "Two and a half years ago, the Shangjiang City City Defense Team was almost wiped out in a battle. But although the battle was lost, and although most of the city defense team was sacrificed, it was not the fault of the two of you. I've always respected you two as men. ”

"After the formation of the garrison, you still stood up and led the garrison to defend the city and protect the people. You two are bloody and loyal, you are the heroes of the city, and the defenders are the heroes of the city. ”

Chu Letian and Wang Xuzhong, as well as the commander of the reconnaissance company, were all a little surprised.

This little brother is not as simple as it seems, his expression and tone are not at all like a student, but like an old leader praising his subordinates.

This old age and steadiness should not appear in the young people of this age and image.

"This time, I came in a hurry, if I have the opportunity to come next time, I will definitely represent the people in the city and send you a pennant with the words: The patron saint of the city."

Xu Qiu's words hit the point, and several people were sad.

Over the years, they have watched many brothers die in battle, from the city defense team to the city defenders, and many times, the brothers who died in the battle did not even have corpses left.

Although my comrades-in-arms have said to each other, if I die in battle, please help me take care of my parents.

But how can they, the mage army on the front line, have the time and opportunity to help their dead comrades take care of their families.

Even if they are guarding the city with their lives, in fact, the people in the city do not understand them, they only think that they are majestic, but they do not know that they are using their lives to protect the dignity of the soldiers, even if they sacrifice more brothers, they have no complaints, because this is their mission.

The guard, who was very young and looked like he was about the same age as Xu Qiu, was moved to tears when he heard Xu Qiu's heartfelt words.

Wang Xuzhong's attitude softened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Little brother, thank you for your understanding. If all the people can understand us as well as you do, then we soldiers are worth it. But this is a time of crisis, and we need to prepare for it. You'd better leave first, and when the crisis is over, you're welcome to visit the barracks. ”

Not only Wang Xuzhong, but Chu Letian, who has always been short-tempered, also smiled at Xu Qiu.

The atmosphere at the scene has become much friendlier and no longer full of gunpowder.

Xu Qiu said very seriously: "I am here for this matter, there is no need to prepare for war, the Zerg army is not here for you." The purpose of this Zerg gathering is to eradicate the power of the Holy Light Sect. You just have to watch, you don't have to meddle. ”

Although Xu Qiu's words just now were very touching, Xu Qiu's news at the moment made them unable to believe it.

Wang Xuzhong's eyes rolled, thinking about why Xu Qiu brought this news.

Chu Letian couldn't help but say: "Little brother, even if you say nice things, the news you brought not only can't be believed, but also makes people doubt your identity. You asked us to react passively, and if we caused a large number of casualties to the defenders because of our lack of preparation and preparation for war, no one could afford this responsibility, not even our two brothers. ”

The company commander of the reconnaissance company is Chu Letian's old subordinate when he used to be a city defense team.

He was more sensitive to Xu Qiu's identity, and hurriedly activated the guardian barrier of the command post and the prison barrier in front of the door.

"You can't get out of here without finding out who you are today."

Xu Qiu's hand reached into his sleeve, and then there were two more insects in his hand, a scorpion and a firefly.

His hand flung to the ground, and the two insects changed instantly.

In the midst of the stunned eyes of several people, a scorpion demon and a firefly demon appeared in front of them.

Both have feminine images and characteristics.

The scorpion demon is half in scorpion form, half in female form, her tentacles stretched forward, and two huge scorpion pincers are waving warningly.

The poisonous needle claw on the tail was raised high and aimed at Chu Letian and Wang Xuzhong.

The firefly demon was wrapped in flames all over his body, and he couldn't see it at all.

Xu Qiu said: "I came to talk with sincerity, I respect that your soldiers are iron-blooded men, so I remain polite." I hope you can also be polite, let's treat each other politely and talk kindly. But if you want to stop me and force me to ask about something, then you are thinking too much. ”

And the Scorpion Demon Lian Ten and the Firefly Demon Firefly are separated from Xu Qiu, and the momentum is compelling.

I like the Demon King, it's too lazy, please collect: () The Demon King is too lazy, I love the fastest update.
