Chapter 10: Heroes and Deserters?

"Who the hell destroyed the million-strong army of our Zhao State? Aren't those powerful cultivators not allowed to participate in the war according to the regulations?" the king of the Zhao Kingdom roared and said, "Aren't they afraid of our retaliation?

"Don't get excited, kid. It's not what you think. This time it wasn't the other party's people who struck. It's a powerful demon clan. We don't know what the demon clan looks like. But I know that it is very powerful, and if you can have one less opponent like this, try to have as few as possible. We can build hundreds of thousands of elite troops quickly. But it angered that demon powerhouse and made him join our opponent's camp. Then our losses will be too great. So, before it is certain that he will join our opponents, what is needed is calmness. At this time, an old voice appeared in his ears.

"Yes, teacher. "For his teacher, King Zhao is very respectful, and he is also obedient to his words. At the same time, the king of Zhao was also thinking in his heart, how could a powerful demon race appear here? However, for the mysterious demon race, human beings are generally not clear. The possibility of a master appearing is also very high. In fact, the powerhouses of Shenwu Da 6 all know that the strongest cultivator is not from the human race, but from the demon race, but the powerful demon clan generally does not make a move, and the two sides have always been at peace.

Not only is the Zhao State side paying attention to this mysterious demon clan master, but the Four Nations Alliance is also paying attention. Their strong people all felt it, the demon clan powerhouse who shot was very powerful, although they couldn't afford to provoke it, but it was a big price to pay.

"Ling Tian, we have made a great contribution this time. This time, we will be able to get enough military merits, and maybe we will be rewarded and have the opportunity to cultivate. Looking at Ling Tian, Zhang Ba said excitedly, he was very happy to have escaped death this time. Not only that, but the credit this time is not small, and thinking that I may become a cultivator in the future, my heart is extremely excited.

"Captain, have we made a great contribution?" Ling Tian's eyes widened, he didn't feel that he had any credit, he just killed a lot of people on the other side in order to survive. Could that also be called a great achievement? Only a person like Ling Tian, who is not deeply involved in the world, would have such a question. Killed so many enemies, the opposing army disappeared. That's not a big deal, so what is?

"That's nature, Ling Tian, you killed so many people, this must be a great achievement. Besides, our army was originally the main force to attract the other side. As long as those who survive, they are considered to have made great achievements. Hearing Ling Tian say this, Zhang Ba couldn't help but be happy, and he also knew that Ling Tian must not have experienced much, and he couldn't say which mountain village he was the first brother from, otherwise, he wouldn't know nothing.

"That's right. Ling Tian nodded, also somewhat understanding. He is also very much looking forward to the cultivation of things. Both Fluttershy and the Heaven and Earth Chaos Beast can practice, but their methods are not suitable for Ling Tian, which makes Ling Tian very helpless. Thinking of Fluttershy and the Heaven and Earth Chaos Beast, Ling Tian couldn't help but feel that these two guys were so unconscionable. When I came out, I didn't know where I had gone.

Ling Tian was not very familiar with this place, he had to follow Zhang Ba, otherwise, he wouldn't know where to go. As for Ling Tian, Zhang Ba also attaches great importance to it, although Ling Tian looks very small and understands very little, his strength is not weak. As expected, there is a lot of hope for practice. Besides, Ling Tian could be regarded as saving his life. From which point of view, it is always good to have a good relationship with Ling Tian.

After walking with Zhang Ba for about two days, Ling Tian and the others came to an outpost in the Northern Jin Dynasty. There were hundreds of soldiers from the Northern Jin Dynasty there.

"Stop, who are you?" Now Ling Tian and Zhang Ba were still wearing their previous clothes, which were stained with blood, and there was a very unpleasant smell. Seeing Ling Tian and Zhang Ba, the guards looked very ugly on their faces.

"This is our ID. Zhang Ba said, took out two pieces of paper and handed them to the soldier. As for what was written on the paper, Ling Tian didn't know, he wasn't literate yet. There is no opportunity to read in the village, and there is no chance to read in the valley. Therefore, Ling Tian was still illiterate now. I don't even know the simplest words.

"What?" When he saw the two pieces of paper, the soldier's face couldn't help but change.

"Are you deserters?" This soldier can only come up with such a reason, he has already received the news that the army of the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Zhao State launched a fierce battle at Lingquan Pass, and in the end, the Northern Jin Dynasty army and the Zhao ** team were all wiped out, I heard that a master of the demon clan shot out, so that no one in the hundreds of thousands of troops survived. And the two people in front of them belong to the Northern Jin Dynasty soldiers who fought at Lingquan Pass. The only reason these two men are here is because they are deserters. Otherwise, all the people died, and only the two of them survived, who would believe this. As soon as they heard that it was a deserter, all the people at this outpost surrounded the soldiers, picked up their weapons one by one, and looked at Ling Tian and Zhang Ba angrily, their eyes were full of contempt.

"Damn, you dare to insult Lao Tzu as a deserter?!" Hearing the soldier's words, Zhang Ba was also angry, they killed so many people, and then they were very lucky to kill them, and they actually said that they were deserters. They say that the deserters escaped before the start of the battle, not after the completion of the mission. If you escape after completing the mission, you are called a hero, and if you run away before the battle, you are called a deserter. In all countries, deserters are the most shameful. If you get caught, you will be arrested and paraded in the streets, and then beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market. And he hung his head on a tree to warn the world. Let everyone know about the punishment for deserters, and this is also so that every soldier does not become a deserter. In fact, in five countries, desertion is rare. This also shows that the punishment worked.

"You are not deserters, how did you survive? You survived, hehe. The soldier's tone was full of sarcasm, and it was obvious that you were deserters, and you said you weren't, and you showed evidence as to why you survived, and if you couldn't prove it, then you were deserters.

"Then you say that we are deserters, do you have any evidence? To say that others are deserters is a very serious matter, and that is an insult to a soldier. If there is no evidence to accuse a soldier of being a deserter, it is to have his hands and feet cut off. Looking at the soldier, Zhang Ba said coldly. The punishment for deserters in this world is very severe, but at the same time, the punishment for those who falsely accuse others of being deserters is also very severe, which is also to avoid the birth of some unjust cases. Without evidence, it is absolutely impossible to say that a person is a deserter.

"This?" the soldier's face immediately turned very ugly. He just felt, where did he come from? Not to mention them, who can judge except those powers?

"Captain, what are we going to do?" the soldier asked the captain who was guarding the outpost.

"Give it to the above. There's nothing we can do about it. The captain took a deep breath and replied, it was obvious that this captain also thought that Ling Tian and Zhang Ba were deserters, but he couldn't produce evidence, and he didn't dare to be so qualified. Only leave it to the superiors and see how the superiors judge. In this case, it has nothing to do with them in terms of the result.

Zhang Ba is also very reluctant to this, and when he came here, he knew that it would be difficult to explain clearly.

They were then taken to a city. The military governor in that city was also judged by law, and then they were taken to a county town, and the guard generals of the county town were also judged by law, and finally they were taken to Piaoxue City, the royal city of the Northern Jin Dynasty. By this time, it was already two months later. The impact of this incident was also getting bigger and bigger, so much so that when the people who escorted Zhang Ba and Ling Tian came to Drifting Snow City, several people were waiting at the gate of the city, wanting to see who said that they had survived that war.

"So many people?" Ling Tian was also startled when he saw that crowd, he had never seen so many people except for the few people he had seen in that war.

"Little brother, it's the big brother who hurt you. If I hadn't pulled you into the army. You will not suffer with me. Looking at such a scene, Zhang Ba could only smile bitterly, and at the same time apologized to Ling Tian.

"Brother Zhang, look at what you said. Didn't we say that we wouldn't talk about the past in the future? Let him pass the past. Ling Tian chuckled. He didn't actually hate Zhang Ba in his heart. These days, getting along with Zhang Ba, the relationship between the two has also improved a lot. Ling Tian also knew Zhang Ba's personality, a very bold person. For such a person, Ling Tian couldn't afford to have hatred in his heart. Besides, at that time, I couldn't blame anyone else.

"Hahaha. There is a brother in your words. It's worth everything. Hearing Ling Tian's words, Zhang Ba immediately burst out laughing.

"Kill the deserters. ”

"Kill the deserters. I don't know who shouted like this, and immediately, the people who counted it all shouted, and then the vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown towards Ling Tian and Zhang Ba, and the whole body of the two of them was piled up with these things, which was very uncomfortable, but their bodies were tied up to death, and there was no way to do it. Fortunately, their bodies are very strong, otherwise, they would probably have to be injured.
