Yao Yun stood alone at the edge of the woods, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

Just an hour ago, on the avenue not far ahead. The last group of women under Momoki's command took the captives and crossed the border back to the side of the women's country. Luckily for them, they won't have to fight again for the next three months, they can live in peace under the protection of the Boundary Wall, and they can indulge in their swords and guns until the next battle of the gods.

Yao Yun felt that the resentment behind him seemed to be deeper.

Behind her, in the woods not far away, was the 3rd Regiment under her command. Ten hundreds, one hundred tens, a thousand samurai, priests and footmen, waiting for the order to cross the border again and enter the side of the man.

This morning, as soon as the order for the expedition was issued, there was an uproar in the camp. The low-ranking samurai petitioned one after another, begging their commander to take back his fate, but Du Yun's heart was as hard as iron. Then they turned to the priest again, hoping that the spokesman of the Lord God would reach out and take their voices up to heaven.

As a result, they were hit even harder, and the priest told them that the Lord God had long since rejected the appeal that Du Yun's decision was a mess. In other words, the Expedition Order has the support of the Lord God, and any refusal to carry it out is a defiance of the will of the Supreme Being. It is a grave sin of disobedience to the Lord God and disrespect to the Lord God.

Fighting against the Lord God meant accepting the judgment of the High Priest, and it was more cost-effective to go to war honestly. In the afternoon, the crowd was lifeless, very different from the laughter and laughter of the morning.

In the evening, rumors spread and pointed the finger at Yao Yun. It is said that the commander summoned all the regimental commanders to discuss the meeting, and it was the most junior scumbag who instigated it that prompted the commander to continue fighting in peacetime. As for those who really made suggestions, that is, they were used as guns by the coach in a daze, they all became loyal people who understood the righteousness but had no power to return to heaven.

Well, most of the superiors are good, but there is just a little rat poop that makes trouble, so everyone drinks stinky soup together. That's pretty much what it means.

'Commander, Captain Lu Shi is back. 'The Dark Sentinel reports on the telepathic channel.

Tell her to come to me, right away. Yao Yun replied.

Lu Yan soon appeared in front of her, clasping her fists and saluting. "I've seen the regimental leader."

"Good work." Yao Yun saw that his right-hand man was covered with mud, and his heart was slightly moved. "How's it going?"

Lu Yan opened his bag and poured out a bunch of human ears. "A total of six scouts have been found, and according to the orders of the regimental commander, all of them have been killed."

"Very well, did you ask anything before you killed?"

"Captain, they told me that they were members of the garrison."

It seems that the chaos caused by the loss of the commander on the man's side continues, and there is no one to even arrange such a thing as scouting the enemy's whereabouts, or their motley army has taken the initiative to pick up the burden.

It's a pity that these scouts have no experience, and they are no match for these elite second-order warriors like Lu Yan. They were easily spotted and perished.

Now, the man has lost all his eyeliner, which is very beneficial for the upcoming action on the woman's side. Yao Yun thinks this is definitely a good sign.

"Are you still used to your new position?"

In the afternoon reorganization, Du Yun disbanded the incomplete 100-member team, and merged the team members into a new formation. After Yao Yun's struggle, Lu Yan and her ten-member team became part of the team directly under the Sixth Regiment, and the original captain of the hundred-man team was also demoted to Shi Chang.

Lu Yan said there was no problem.

"You grieve first, and then wait for the war to end. We'll have ten more regiments, and I'll keep you there. ”

"Captain Xie." Lu Yan clenched his fists again, his demeanor was as usual. "However, there is still one thing that is not clear to the subordinates, and I hope that the head of the regiment will give advice."

Yao Yun looked at Lu Yan's eyes, "Say." ”

"Commander, I haven't known you for long, but I know that you are a cautious person and never do things that you are not sure about. The expedition was too treacherous, and the odds of victory were extremely low. Why do you seconded the manager? ”

Yao Yun noticed her wording, seconded it, not the rumored proposal. This is a smart girl, the head of the third regiment thought to himself.

"How do you know that's what the manager meant, not mine?"

Lu Yan was silent.

"Okay, although your mind reading skills can't see through me, it's still easy to see through a few of them." Yao Yun didn't make it clear which ones she was referring to. "I'll ask you a question first. Would you like to be a slave in order to save your life? ”

Lu Yan shook his head. If you become a slave, you can no longer participate in the battle of the divine will, you can't earn points if you can't participate in the war, you can't be promoted if you don't consume points, and you can't leave the arena world. She didn't dare to hope that she would one day set foot in that legendary promised land, she just wanted to be able to go home, to her home in her previous life.

Moreover, being a slave is in danger of being sacrificed at any time. Disembowelment? Burning in flames? Bah! Don't!

"Then let me ask you another question, have you thought about what would happen if we defeated the four male countries adjacent to us?"

Each country in the arena world has six boundary walls, each of which separates the other. Four of the six neighboring countries are of the opposite sex and two are of the same sex. Under normal circumstances, every three months, a boundary wall corresponding to the opposite sex country will fall, and the two countries will fight at the time and place designated by the main god, that is, the battle of the divine will.

At the end of the battle of the gods, the main god will give corresponding rewards according to the number of enemies killed, captured and rescued by each side. The better you fight, the more rewards, the more resources, and the stronger the Fang country. Conversely, the worse the play, the less rewarded, or even none at all.

Lu Yan remembered a story she had heard. It is said that there is an unlucky female country that has been defeated repeatedly in the past decades and cannot make ends meet. In order to gather enough 10,000 people to participate in the battle of the Divine Will, he finally looted all the combatable soldiers in the country, leaving only 60 people to defend the main city.

As a result, they lost again, and the men destroyed their country and took all the survivors into slavery. This matter was broadcast to the world by the Lord God, and then told to Lu Yan by the priest.

If a country does succeed in annexing its neighbors, then the wall between them and the loser will no longer rise. The winner's total population limit and the maximum number of troops to participate in the Battle of the Divine Will will be increased by 50%, and the territory area will be doubled. Taking Du Yun as an example, she had 20,000 troops before this battle of divine will, but she could only mobilize 10,000. Once she succeeds in conquering the Southwest Male Kingdom, she will have two main cities, and she can buy more recruits to form an army of 30,000 and mobilize 15,000 people to participate in the battle of the Divine Will against the other three male kingdoms.

When all four neighboring kingdoms of the opposite sex have been conquered, the rise and fall of the boundary wall will automatically switch to the second mode: every six months, the battle of the divine will with the same sex will begin again. And it will last longer and be less restrictive than before.

"If we had four men, we would have five times the size and army we have now. When we participate in the Battle of the Divine Will again, we will be able to use the army of 50,000 tigers and wolves against the enemy's 10,000 weak brigades. Lu Yan replied very fluently. It was clear that she had envisioned something similar more than once before. "We're going to sweep the world."

"Yes, and the Lord God will give us the power to proclaim our own nation. Unlike now, they can only call themselves women's countries in general terms. The coach told me that she was very fond of peach blossoms in her previous life, and I think it should be very good to call it Peach Blossom Country. ”

Yao Yun looked into the distance. The setting sun has dyed the clouds golden yellow, and they are disappearing into the mountains little by little.

"But what if, I mean, it was another women's country and not us who did it first? What if this woman is still our neighbor? Like what...... The northern women's country directly north of us. ”

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a chill rush from the center of his feet to the top of his head, with 10,000 weak brigades against 50,000 tiger and wolf divisions? The terrifying prospect sent her like an ice cellar.

"Commander......"

Yao Yun raised an index finger and put it to his mouth.

"Chief Lush, you don't have to know how I know this, you just need to know that this matter must be kept secret, and no one is allowed to say it without my consent. You'll take care of your mouth, right? ”

Lu Yan nodded.

"Whether this expedition succeeds or not, we must work hard, otherwise we will sit back and wait, and we have no other choice."

She was silent for a moment, until the last of her rays disappeared into the sky, and then she added the most important sentence.

"We're running out of time."
