Chapter 181: Lessons
Seeing several young people coming towards him with a fierce attitude, Wang Yue unconsciously took two steps back. Then, he looked at Li Ling with a pleading gaze.
Li Ling was also observing these young people who were born and raised in Sirte. For him now, these young and vigorous hairy heads are just some children who have not yet grown up. It's like a sword that has just been built, and if you don't know how to restrain your edge, you will hurt your opponent if you don't care. But in the same way, they will easily show their details in front of the enemy.
"Now, I'm their opponent." Li Ling muttered a sentence and walked towards Wang Yue, who was anxious.
β¦β¦
Seeing Li Ling coming, Wang Yue breathed a long sigh of relief. The tense body finally relaxed. Only then did he notice that Ma Xiyu and the others were looking at him with a cowardly and pitying gaze.
Wang Yue's face turned red, and he attached it to Li Ling's ear and said, "My lord! I can handle it myself. Isn't it just a bunch of hairy heads? β
Li Ling smiled and patted Wang Yue's shoulder: "It is precisely because they are still a group of children that we have to show mercy to our subordinates." Am I not afraid that you will not take it lightly? Li Ling winked at Wang Yue.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing that Li Ling had found a step for himself, Wang Yue nodded again and again. "Your Excellency, you are thoughtful. Halfway through the ......", Wang Yue hurriedly covered his mouth and dodged aside.
"Lord Commander?" A red-haired, sturdy young man who came up pointed at Li Lingdao. "You're one of these foreign leaders, aren't you?"
Someone behind him immediately chimed in: "Yes, it is him, I recognize his pale face, and I have an impression of their leader when these outsiders first come to the royal city. β
"Oh!" Red-haired young Ru Fraction. "So, you're going to stand up for this guy named Wang Yue?"
"Yes!" Li Ling smiled and admitted frankly.
"Do you know that Wang Yue, he just insulted all the young people in the royal city? As these foreign commanders, don't you intend to punish your subordinates for their mistakes, but instead stand up for them? β
"No, I'm going to apologize for him!" Li Ling said.
"Apologies?!" Some of the young people began to look at each other.
And the companions behind Li Ling were even more surprised. In terms of strength, Li Ling can definitely easily knock all these young people down. In terms of status, Li Ling is now the commander of the black-armored knights. No matter what, Li Ling should not apologize to such a little-known hairy man.
The red-haired young man also seemed to realize this, and said with some weakness: "My lord, you seem to have misunderstood. I just want this person named Wang Yue to apologize to me, not an irrelevant person, or even his superior. β
"I apologize for him because I just have one more thing to get rid of please." Li Ling said.
"Please? Since it was the commander-in-chief who spoke, as long as it was not too harsh, we would agree. β
Li Ling nodded and said, "I want you to choose to join our supporters' team when you become adults." β
"Is it the Black Knights?" The red-haired young man was stunned for a moment before asking.
"No, not the Black Knights, but the guards of our supporters." Li Ling said.
Ma Xiyu was a little surprised, and Wang Yue shouted even more anxiously: "You have to think twice, Li Ling." There is no room for error in the guardian team. Otherwise, it may not be long before all of us will disappear from this world for no reason. β
Since they came to this world, they have experienced too many dangers, and even the descendants of the forerunners who are full of expectations are not very welcoming to Li Ling and their arrival. In short, everyone has such a feeling that in this world, even if it is a human being in this world, it is impossible to overstate it.
To Wang Yue's great relief, these young people were not very enthusiastic about Li Ling's proposal. The red-haired young man said even more bluntly, "Why did you let us join your guardian team?" I've heard that the Pioneers are paid a little higher. We've been planning to defect to Her Highness Ina for a long time. β
Li Ling smiled, stared at him like a child, and said, "Her Highness Ina is too busy. Even if you join her team, it's rare to see her, let alone have anything to do with her, and don't think she'll be your guide......"
"Guide......" the red-haired young man cried greedily, as if it were the most beautiful word he had ever heard. Even the young men behind him exchanged their heads and ears, with strange excitement on their faces.
"Yes, isn't that why you train hard day and night? Strive to improve your combat effectiveness, strive to become a glorious pioneer or a knight of the Black Plus Legion, and then find a good guide to dedicate your life to it......" Li Ling said step by step.
"You're basically right, Lord Commander. But there are still some things that are not appropriate. The red-haired young man said. We want to find a good guide, but we don't want to dedicate our lives to our guide, but to use her to guide us to become a strong hero who knows how to use the power of awakening. β
"Haha...... Yours is right, too. But once you've joined the Pioneers, you'll find out that it's not what you thought it would be, and you may be able to become a powerful warrior, but it's too rare to become a hero with your own love, hatred, and free will! β
"What does that mean?" The young man frowned. But he didn't wait patiently for Li Ling's answer, but waved his hand, as if to drive these inexplicable words from Li Ling's mind. Then, he asked a relatively lighter question: "What about you, if we join your team of guardians, will you be our guide?" The red-haired young man asked.
"Not necessarily, but I'll try to do it." Li Ling said, he thought to himself that he still hadn't figured out what a guide was, so how could he guide these young people?
"Just trying, doesn't it give us a good idea?" Another young man asked.
Li Ling smiled and shook his head.
"Well, I'll have no choice but to decline your invitation." The red-haired young man pushed his companion back, then stood in front of Li Ling again.
"What is it that makes you vow to be an Awakened? Is it just power? If so, I have many ways to make you more powerful than the Awakened. Li Ling said.
"No, it's not just power, there's more. Like what...... Glory, faith. The red-haired young man hurriedly stopped his mouth halfway, as if he had discovered some conspiracy and tricks in Li Ling, until Zhongre was a little impatient, and the red-haired young man said: "You are not a citizen of Gaia Royal City at all, so naturally you don't understand what I mean, in short, becoming an awakened person is every one of our wishes." β
Li Ling didn't expect this young man to reject him so quickly, but he was still unwilling to give up on these young people with unlimited potential, and invited again: "If you are willing to join my guardian team, no matter how well you perform in battle, I assure you that your future growth and strength will definitely not be worse than those trialists who have joined the pioneer team, and even greatly superior to them." β
"Why should we believe you? If you want to make these assurances, if you don't have the strength of Her Highness Ina, you have to be at least an Awakened One, right? The red-haired youth said.
"What kind of mess of the awakened and the guides? Follow our commander-in-chief, are you still afraid of losing money? Wang Yue was a little impatient when she heard this, and couldn't help muttering loudly.
Li Ling waved his hand and motioned for Wang Yue not to talk too much. Then, he stretched out a fist and said to the red-haired youth, "I only use one fist, and I only stand on the ground a few feet square. If you and your buddies have what it takes to knock me out, just talk gibberish in front of you all along. β
"Your Excellency!" Niu Fajia felt that Li Ling was a little arrogant and wanted to speak out to dissuade him.
Li Ling immediately shook his finger and continued to look at the red-haired young man: "But if you lose, you have to promise me that when you become an adult, don't rush to find your own home." Rather, they came to my ranks and were trained by me and our companions. β
The red-haired young man smiled and said, "Since you are like this, don't blame our men for being ruthless. β
As soon as the words fell, the red-haired young man threw a punch and blasted past Li Ling's face.
"Smack!" Impartially, Li Ling squeezed the red-haired youth's fist into his palm.
The red-haired young man twitched a few times, his palms as if they were being clamped tightly by iron tongs.
"Let go of me!" The red-haired young man refused to admit defeat.
"Believe it?" Li Ling suddenly straightened his face and shouted at the red-haired youth.
"Believe what? Oops, oops, it hurts to death! The red-haired youth couldn't hold back the pain and cried out loudly.
"Do you believe I can give you strength? Just like me, without the help of any of the Awakened, but with the power of your own hands, you have a firm grip on your present life and freedom. β
"I'm not going to throw in the towel so easily!" The red-haired young man is stubborn and authentic.
"Yes, I guess you won't. Therefore, I intend to teach you a hard lesson and let you remember this - what the Awakened can do, I Li Ling can do, and every ordinary person of you can do the same.
Li Ling reached out and grabbed the placket of the red-haired young man's shirt and lifted it up, and said in a low voice: "Do you know what it was like when I grabbed you in my hands? Just carry a chicken first! When I was three years old, I used to play pranks like this a lot. β
"What are you in?" The red-haired youth's face turned red, and his eyes kept looking around. He saw his companions standing not far away, gearing up, as if waiting for his distress signal. Although the red-haired youth was not in a hurry to summon these friends of his to help, with them behind him to support him, the red-haired youth was quietly relieved.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you young people here don't even know what a chicken is, I tell you, it's a weak, miserable creature. It's a wretched creature imprisoned by humans in cages that can only accommodate their lower bodies. Just like you are now. What do you think? Still not going to take my advice? Or are you not convinced? Then you resist, let me see the young strength of this world. β
Li Ling's original intention was to completely provoke these young people and let them besiege him. Then, Li Ling could make a move openly and beat all these young people to the ground.
But until now, he saw that the young men who were gearing up still refused to rush to rescue their companions.
Li Ling decided to step up his efforts. If there was anyone else in these royal cities who could be his help, it would be this young man. Even though they had a deep reverence for the supreme Queen Mia and the revered Awoken, even though each of them had sworn countless times to become like Uhtred. But at least there is one thing worth Li Ling to entrap them, or save themβthese young people have not yet received the guiding consciousness, their souls are still pure, and their wills are still governed by their own will. Li Ling felt that as long as he was patient enough, these people would join his own team sooner or later. Perhaps, in the end, he and his companions will still be able to fulfill their mission - to support the forerunners of Sirte and build this place into a second base for humanity.
The more Li Ling thought about it, the more excited he became, and the arm holding the red-haired young man trembled slightly. Li Ling used a little zero force, and his arm once again returned to its previous strong and powerful state. A stream of hot blood rushed along his body to his limbs, and Li Ling felt that he could now kill an elephant with a single punch.
Li Ling looked behind the red-haired young man, grinned like a ruffian, and shouted, "And you, you young people who have tried their best, but are still vulnerable. What are you waiting for, pull the body of your red-haired girl, go back and continue to practice your fists and legs! Li Ling laughed loudly, lifted the red-haired youth high, and threw it into the distance.
The young people standing in the distance blushed one by one, and they wanted to rush up immediately and beat Li Ling hard, but Li Ling didn't know that these people would not make a move no matter what. Because Her Royal Highness Ina personally appointed Li Ling as the commander of the black-armored knights, this is the most honorable status except for the queen, almost the same as the twelve highnesses. Therefore, although their teeth were rattling, no one was willing to deal with the noble Li Ling. At this moment, seeing Li Ling throw their partner over with his bare hands, they rushed over in a swarm, trying to take their partner back.
