At four o'clock in the morning, on the outskirts of the Tinka Forest, the headquarters of the Earth Army.

A herald came to Marshal Rice Cake, the new commander-in-chief of the Earth Army, who had just been in office for a little more than ten hours, and saluted: "Report, Mr. Leping has arrived." ”

"Oh, it's so fast!" Rice Cake nodded, turned around and walked outside the headquarters, and asked, "Is there anything new on the demon warrior's side?"

"Not yet. It is estimated that those two demon warriors have already gone into hiding, and it is difficult to find people in the dark forest, although we have already sent more than a hundred search teams. ”

"How's the casualty?"

"From before 12 o'clock last night until now, regular reports from various units indicate that there have been no new casualties. ”

"It's important to be safe, and frankly, those people are not something we can fight against. ”

While speaking, Marshal Rice Cake had already arrived in front of a small plane. The pilot had already disembarked from the plane and was resting with his back to the plane. But it's not Leping, it's Bulma.

"May I ask what ...... you are," Marshal Rice Cake asked, who had never met Bulma.

"You're Marshal Rice Cake, it's nice to meet you," Bulma straightened up and said, "My name is Bulma, and I'm Leping's girlfriend." Leping was still on the plane, but he was already asleep. I thought he was about to fight and needed a good rest, so I didn't wake him up. Why don't you call him up now?"

"It's also true, just let Mr. Leping be here on standby. My subordinates will be in charge of finding the demons. Marshal Rice Cake said, "Then Miss Bulma, do you want to go to our headquarters to rest?"

"Oh, no. Bulma yawned, "I'm going to have to get a beauty night's sleep, and you don't have a bed for me." As she spoke, Bulma pulled out a capsule, "Luckily, I always have the house with me. So, Marshal Rice Cake, sorry for missing you. ”

"Hehehe, Miss Bulma, please take care of yourself. Turning to the herald, he said, "Put a guard around and don't let people come and disturb you." He turned and left.

"We must not pin the safety of the earth on a few people, otherwise once something goes wrong with these few people, or ...... These people themselves have gone bad...... The world will be in danger, even a situation from which it will never recover, and this is too dangerous. ”

"The military must be truly responsible for defending the planet. However, it can be seen from this incident that the combat effectiveness of the armed forces at present is no longer sufficient to undertake this work. ”

"If we want to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the direction of development is already clear. Hehehe, I can't imagine that human beings have developed from cold weapons to hand-to-hand combat, to hot weapon confrontation, but continue to develop, and finally return to physical competition. ”

"But it is not realistic to let everyone in the army achieve the combat effectiveness of Leping--a worldly master like the Turtle Immortal must be a thousand choices when choosing disciples, and ordinary people cannot have that kind of qualification. ”

"I'm also confused, how can I expect everything to be done in one step? Even if the people in the army can't reach the level of Leping, as long as they can reach half of his combat strength, this time the Great Demon King incident will not be helpless, and with the numerical advantage, at least I can fight against the Great Demon King's subordinates - yes, just like now, if my soldiers are strong enough to fight against the Great Demon King's men, why should I be so cautious, tie my hands and feet, and dare not let the soldiers let go of the battle?"

"In any case, it is always good to increase the combat effectiveness of the army and improve its ability to respond to crises. ”

――――

Half an hour later, Leping woke up on time.

"Mr. Leping, I'm sorry to trouble you again. ”

"Marshal Rice Cake is not polite, I probably know the situation. Le Ping said: "Then, marshal, please let your subordinates withdraw from here." ”

Rice cake was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Leping, the Tinka Forest is not small, and the terrain is complex. So far, we've sent nearly 300 search teams, but none of them have found those two demon warriors, and if it weren't for the tight surveillance ring set up around the perimeter, I even doubt that they would have escaped. If our people are withdrawn, who will help you find them?"

"No need to look for it. Leping looked at the lush mountains and forests in the dark, "They didn't have a restrained breath. Such a strong demonic aura can be felt from thirty kilometers away. (Ground effect note: In the original book, the old piccolo has not been very good at hiding qi, this technique should not be able to, the reason for not hiding is probably disdain, but at the same time he doesn't seem to be very good at sensing qi.) It seems to have been mentioned earlier that the only time the old piccolo sensed qi in the original book was when Tianjin Fan flew into the sky with Wukong to avoid his first burst magic light cannon, and his induction was very inaccurate, and he turned around several times in place, and only found Wukong when he laughed out loud from the sky; Therefore, the ground effect guesses that the piccolo should not have used these skills for a long time and is rusty. The old piccolo is like this, and the warriors he gave birth to are certainly not much stronger)

"Uh......" Rice cake listened to Leping's words, and knew that he had asked some more questions, which seemed idiotic to martial artists, so he just nodded and said, "It's hard work." He turned back to the herald beside him and said, "Order everyone to withdraw." ”

The sky gradually turned white, the stars faded one after another, and when the morning mist in the mountains and forests could be clearly seen, Marshal Rice Cake's subordinates finally gathered.

"Mr. Leping, the troops have all been withdrawn. The herald came to Leping, who was bored and kept doing handstand arm flexion and extension, and reported--digression, this is not a morning exercise, it is really just a boring time to pass the time. It's like when people sit idly and have nothing to do, they will spin pens, play with coins, and rub the corners of clothes...... And so on and so forth.

"Ah, oh, okay. With a slight force on his hand, Leping bounced up, turned over in the air, and stood in place. The herald looked at Leping, who had such a huge amount of exercise, but he was not panting, his heart was not beating, his face was not red and sweating, and he secretly envied his good physical strength.

This herald also works as a driver. The two of them got into a light armored car that had been prepared for a long time and drove deep into the mountains.

"It's only been more than half an hour, and your movements are very fast, and you can be called well-trained. Sitting in the car was also boring, and Leping chatted with the herald.

"You've won the award, this has nothing to do with training, mainly because the marshal changed our equipment!" The herald said a little embarrassedly: "Two days ago, our army was reorganized, and when we received the order, our commander was General Chunjuan. At that time, we were equipped with mainly heavy tanks and fighters and other offensive field weapons. ”

"However, such weapons were completely useless, and our first encirclement and suppression were completely annihilated. Speaking of this, the herald sighed: "Then, Marshal Rice Cake came over and replaced General Harumaki as our commander. He said that our forces could not take on the task of frontal combat, we just needed to do tracking and surveillance, and then changed the main weapons to light off-road vehicles and high-speed helicopters. So, now our troops are very mobile. ”

Leping nodded and said, "Correctly estimate the strength of the enemy and the enemy, choose the tasks you can undertake wisely, and equip yourself with the right equipment." The most important thing is the indomitable will, the courage to die to the end...... There is no doubt that Marshal Rice Cake is a good commander!"
