Li Ruiliu was quite surprised by Yang Zhenghua's order.

This is because this order is clearly in conflict with the order given by the company.

For this reason, he also specially called Yang Zhenghua to inquire.

Li Ruiliu is not a descendant of the Mage Association who joined Bowen Company with Yang Zhenghua, but he is the only graduate of the technical college who has entered the ranks of middle-level commanders so far, so his position in the Western Front army is quite special.

Yang Zhenghua patiently gave an explanation, saying that his order did not conflict with the company's order.

The company's order was not only to suspend the westward advance, but also to strengthen reconnaissance.

As the advance force of the westward advance, Li Ruiliu's unit has recently had a clear understanding of the situation within the scope of its reconnaissance capability, and it is no longer meaningless to stay where it is, so it is impossible to talk about continuing to strengthen reconnaissance.

Yang Zhenghua asked Li Ruiliu's troops to cautiously move westward, continue in-depth reconnaissance, and provide more information for the company's final westward decision.

Only then did Li Ruiliu lead his troops to leave the banks of the Ghost River and go west to reconnoitre.

The Fire Tree Dynasty was definitely vast and sparsely populated on the western border, and one town was at least a few hundred miles away from another, so Li Ruiliu easily passed through the wilderness in the middle of the town, and successfully collected a lot of geographical information.

If there is no accident, Li Ruiliu's troops will probably continue to go deeper until they enter the relatively densely populated area of the Fire Tree Dynasty and will no longer advance in secret.

But some people don't have the patience to wait.

In addition to the demon puppets fighting in the advance force where Li Ruiliu worked, there were also four human mages, two of whom were classmates who graduated from the technical college with him, and it was the three of them who led the advance force to the west all the way forward. The other two are combat mages of Yang Zhenghua's department, who mobilized support forces in the later stage and led their troops to rush over, although their level was not lower than Li Ruiliu, but after they were integrated into the advance team, they had to accept Li Ruiliu's command.

In this regard, the two battle mages were very complaining.

You must know that those who can enter the official combat unit sequence of the Mage Association must at least be an intermediate mage, but Li Ruiliu is just a mage apprentice, if he is placed outside, he will not even be able to get a formal job opportunity in the association, you can imagine how bad the mood was when these two combat mages learned that they had to obey Li Ruiliu's command.

Yang Zhenghua also knew this very well, but this order was directly issued by Mei Yaxuan, the company's tongguò.

At the beginning, Li Ruiliu was able to lead the team, and he was also directly appointed by the company, because of his good graduation results and excellent performance in the technical college.

Of course, Yang Zhenghua is also very clear about the company's intention to support Li Ruiliu.

Yong Bowen has a very clear understanding of the current situation of his weak foundation and few cronies, so since the completion of the first batch of students of the Technical College, he has spared no effort to support them, especially those who do not have the foundation of the Mage Association and Yu Chengshi Company to recruit personnel, the purpose is to build a team of their own.

These rootless students were all at the bottom of the struggling association before, and they are naturally very grateful to Yong Bowen for giving them this opportunity, which is one of the important foundations for being able to become cronies.

Now the time is still short, most of these students who have been vigorously supported are still working at the lower level to accumulate experience, Li Ruiliu is the fastest progress, the most outstanding one, and is also a typical example of Yong Bowen's greatest hope.

If there are no accidents, I believe that Li Ruiliu will soon enter the manager level and officially become one of the middle and even senior management of the company.

Yang Zhenghua and the battle mages of his department must be a little jealous.

It stands to reason that Yang Zhenghua should not be jealous.

When he was in the Mage Association, he had survived for so many years, and he was only the leader of a squad, but now he has only joined Yongbowen Company for a few months, and he has already become a man of the year with a hundred thousand evil ghost puppet troops, which is enough to make those mages who were originally in the same situation as him but still stay in the Mage Association because of hesitation to die of envy and hatred.

Moreover, Yong Bowen also trusts Yang Zhenghua quite a lot, and hands over all the westward development affairs to him, and basically rarely cares.

Although in terms of level, Yang Zhenghua is still only a middle-level leader, but in terms of real power, he is no less than several high-level executives of the company, and even high-level executives such as Liu Yi, who have never participated in hell affairs until now, have more power.

But Yang Zhenghua is still very jealous that Li Ruiliu can get this kind of opportunity.

It's still the same old saying, people's hearts are insufficient.

Yang Zhenghua now thinks that he will command the westward march and make great contributions to the company, and he should always get more rewards, but the company is supporting an apprentice to share his power - the most obvious evidence is that he is not allowed to arrange a commander for such an important position as the commander of the advance team - it is clear that he does not trust him.

In other words, the middle-level command group of the westward troops basically did not treat Li Ruiliu very well, especially the two combat mages who had to condescend to work under him.

After these two battle mages were sent to Li Ruiliu's command, they have been passive and slacking off.

Li Ruiliu also knew that he couldn't summon these two battle mages, but fortunately, he didn't need two battle mages, and the evil ghost puppets they brought, after integrating the troops, assigned most of the evil ghost puppets to himself and two other classmates, and these two combat mages let them manage logistics and various reconnaissance equipment. This made the two Battlemages even more annoyed.

So after getting hints from some quarters, especially after Yang Zhenghua had completed the strategic transfer and deployment, there was an accident that the automatic reconnaissance plane was shot down by the small town of the Fire Tree Dynasty.

Li Ruiliu had no intention of getting the automatic reconnaissance plane back.

In his opinion, this automatic reconnaissance plane, although valuable, was nothing compared to the violation of the company's orders and the conflict with the Fire Tree Dynasty.

Although the automatic scouting opportunity made the Fire Tree Empire's side feel strange, it was not as shocking as an army suddenly rushing into the town.

However, the two combat mages said that the automatic reconnaissance plane was a product from the human world, and it was only afraid that there would be a bad situation if it fell into the hands of the natives of hell, such as the various spells attached to the automatic reconnaissance plane once they were cracked, it would cause the vigilance of the Fire Tree Dynasty, and the best way was to snatch the automatic reconnaissance plane back before those natives reacted.

Li Ruiliu did not change his mind so easily, but chose to report the situation to Yang Zhenghua.

Mr. Yang's answer was vague and left for him to deal with at his discretion, but there was a vague concern that the autonomous reconnaissance plane would fall into the hands of the natives.

It stands to reason that human spells are by no means easy for the natives of hell to crack, but it has to be said that as a mage apprentice, Li Ruiliu has a spell level that is absolutely in line with his class, and he is just getting started at all, and if it really involves the problem of magic knowledge, he is far inferior to middle and senior mages like Yang Zhenghua.

Since Yang Zhenghua is also so worried, he must not let the automatic reconnaissance plane stay in the hands of the natives for too long.

Li Ruiliu formulated a sneak attack plan such as Yang Zhenghua's report.
