Zhou took advantage of this time, in addition to visiting the wounded soldiers, he also went to the scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Looking at the corpse of the demon that did not summon reinforcements, Zhou Xuan, who didn't see anything special, recruited the servants, military doctors and mages in the army.
"In the ambush just now, only this corpse did not summon demonic reinforcements. I hope you can help me find out what caused the failure of the summoning ceremony. ā
Hearing Zhou's order, these people who were called in took their respective tools and began to work on this demonic corpse.
Taking advantage of the time when these technicians were inspecting, Zhou Xuanshu said to a herald beside him: "Herald, you go and inform the logistics department and the mage team that you must firmly restrain those trapped big demons." When I'm done with this, I'll take care of those guys myself. ā
Shortly after the herald left, a mage noticed something strange in the corpse: "Marshal, this corpse is indeed within the scope of the summoning ritual's release. However, the corpse's head seems to have been obstructed by some unknown factor, causing the summoning ritual to fail. You see, here, and here, all of them have been left by the summoning ritual, except for the head. ā
Seeing that the direction of the problem was found so quickly, Zhou Zhensheng praised him, and then said to the other two types of work: "Now that the direction of the problem has been found, it depends on whether your means can unravel this puzzle." ā
After a pause, Zhou Zhishu offered practical benefits and tempted: "As long as there is a correct discovery, the personnel who find clues will be promoted to the next level." ā
With the right direction, plus the benefits of the Zhou Extinction Injury Throw. The energetic inspection team finally found the cause soon after.
"My lord, after investigation. We finally settled on a liquid called the Water of Blessing, which successfully blocked the demon's summoning ritual! ā
When Zhou heard this, he was very concerned about the popularity of this liquid. So, he asked, "Where does this liquid come from?" Isn't it very rare? ā
"My lord, this blessed water is actually ordinary spring water in the mountains and forests where thousand-year-old trees exist. However, after being filtered by ancient trees, these springs often have a certain function of dispelling diseases and strengthening the body. ā
Upon hearing the discoverer's explanation, Zhou Zhan's eyes lit up and said, "So, is there such a water source near us?" ā
Seeing that the discoverer was a little hesitant, Zhou Zhisheng said in disappointment: "Isn't it?" ā
"Not so, my lord! It's a lot, I don't know where to say! ā
In this regard, Zhou Zhensheng really wanted to yell: "Your sister! ā
"Very well, you have fulfilled your promises. I also fulfill my promise, you go to the military merit office to report your merits! ā
Looking at the delighted technicians, Zhou Zhensheng smiled and walked towards his command post.
"Soldier Huesman, has the mission assigned to you been completed?"
Looking at the two people in the command room, Zhou Zhenshu asked seriously.
"Report to the sir, Soldier Hussman has completed his mission. Please instruct the sir! ā
Seeing that this elf young man was good, Zhou Xuanshu said two words of consolation, and then led the topic to the demon.
"Husman, did you pour some liquid on the head of the archdemon's corpse?"
Hearing Zhou's question, Hussman hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and admitted, "That's right, sir!" ā
Seeing Husman's appearance, Zhou knew that he had misunderstood. So, he said with a smile: "You are not at fault in this matter, but you have merit, or great merit!" ā
"That's right, because you kid sprinkled water on the demon's head, causing the demon-summoning ritual to fail. Otherwise, whether your kid can survive now is still a matter of two words. ā
Hussman's words caused Husman to smile embarrassedly, and when Alan saw this, he knew that his chief liked to tease others again. So he broke the siege and said, "Husman, why did you pour water on the head of the demon's corpse at that time?" ā
"Report to the sir, this is the custom of the hometown when it comes to getting prey. I was born into a family of hunters, and I have maintained this habit since I was a child. ā
Zhou Zhenshu liked this simple soldier very much, so he roughly calculated his merits and asked, "You performed very well this time, then I will give you a third promotion." Would you like to lead a squad? ā
Before Hussman could answer, Alan stopped, "My lord, can you let me be my own soldier?" ā
"It depends on the person's personal wishes. How about Husman, do you want to be promoted to the third rank, or be Allen's personal soldier? ā
Husman chose without hesitation: "Sir, I choose to be Chief Allen's personal soldier." ā
"Oh? Why? ā
Hearing Hussman's answer, Zhou asked with interest.
"I want to be a general in the future?"
Seeing that this soldier was getting more and more interesting, Zhou Zhan was tempted and said, "Then how about you come to be my own soldier?" ā
Huesman shook his head without hesitation and refused: "I'm sorry, sir. I've promised Mr. Allen, I can't be honest! ā
Zhou Zhensheng nodded with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good to be able to stick to your own principles under temptation." It is not impossible to become a general in the future. Go for it, soldier! ā
After encouraging this interesting soldier, Zhou Zhan said to Allen, "Come with me to see those captured living demons, and see if you can pry their mouths open and come up with useful information." ā
"Yes, sir!"
When Zhou and Alan arrived at the scene of one of the trapped archdemons, Alan took the first step, chanted a spell in his mouth, and raised his hand to hit the archdemon's head with a dark magic.
"My lord, I've managed to control it, I can ask it questions."
After nodding at Allen, Zhou Zhenshu asked, "Where is your camp command room?" ā
"Over the hill!"
Hearing the demon's answer, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of Zhou and Allen.
They didn't expect the demon to advance so quickly, and it seemed that the situation was very serious for them now.
"Who's your commander over there?"
After calming down, Zhou Shushu asked again, "Who is the main commander over there?" ā
"Lord Nebiros and Malik!"
After hearing these two names, Zhou Zhensheng's pupils shrank slightly. You must know that these two are not ordinary goods, but real legendary heroes. Compared to Malik, Nebiros, a guy who has lived for a long time, makes Zhou Xuan injured and vigilant.
"Before, you used to shout, 'There is indeed an ambush', was it analyzed by your side, or did someone from our side leak it?"
"Malik analyzed it!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhishu heard something unusual. Malik is also a legendary-level hero, a seventh-order great demon dares to call him by his name, there must be a problem that Zhou Xuan doesn't know?
"You belonged to Nebiros's forces before?"
The Great Demon replied, "Yes! ā
Seeing that the big demon who was under control was really dull, Zhou Zhan suggested to Allen: "In the future, improve this magic, it's good to ask and answer, but it's too dull." ā
After the seemingly complaining proposal, Zhou Zhishu continued to ask:
"How does Malik's strength compare to Nebiros?"
"It's comparable!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xuanxi, who understood a little, asked the key question.
"Why, then, do you call Malik by his real name, but Lord Nebiros?"
After a slight struggle in the demon's eyes, Alan made up a magic spell when he saw this, and continued to speak: "Malik is not a demon born in the country, but a human who took refuge in him!" ā
