In the middle of Huzhou, on the edge of a wooded valley.

The commander of the Menghu army was holding a telescope and looking at the pass to the north in amazement, only to see a black figure passing through a mess of mud.

Those people are vigorous and young, and they think it should be the last wave.

It took a long time for him to hold back a sentence from his mouth.

"...... Did these mud legs take the wrong medicine?!"

Those people who ran to the north were naturally the Moon Clan people hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.

Or to put it another way, the sheep they keep in their pen.

Now no one expected that this group of sheep gnawing on the bark of the tree would kick over the fence gate of the sheepfold and trample on the dog guarding the gate for the first time.

As for what happened here, it has to start with the heavy rain last night......

Last night, in the middle of the night, a hundred-man team of the Menghu Army went to change the guard near the village of the Moon Clan.

In fact, it is said that it is a change of guard, but in fact, it is to watch from the side of the village of the Yue people, and when you see something good, you go up to hit a basket, and if there is no good thing, you will wait.

These Moon Clan homeless people usually hide in the wilderness, and there is not even a decent village around, only the manor farms of some minor nobles are scattered, and a few dirt roads that are broken out of their feet are connected, and they don't even lead directly to the Moon Clan's village.

No one wants to be stationed in such a rotten land where poor ghosts are gathered, and the commander in charge of suppressing bandits is naturally not willing, and this kind of wasteland where supplies are difficult to deliver is not suitable for large troops.

Therefore, he usually stays in the nearby settlements to eat and drink spicy food, but he just sends people to keep an eye on those Moon Clan people according to the wishes of the leader, don't let them make too much noise, and occasionally knock twice, so that they and the alliance can sell badly.

This change of guard is also the same as usual, just a routine. He even brought some of the new recruits over to see an opportunity for them to practice their guns.

However, due to the heavy rain and muddy roads halfway, the bastards were delayed on the road for too long, and they happened to run into an ambush of the Moon Clan, and were beaten by the crackling gunshots.

Hearing the sound of gunfire in the rain, the hundred-man team stationed near the Moon Clan's village immediately realized that something was wrong, so they hurriedly left their positions and rushed over to support.

However, the same problem arose with those men, the rain had delayed their march, and by the time they arrived, the boys who had come to change their guards had already been beaten away, and by the time they came to their senses they were already in the ambush.

Listening to the centurion who had fled back, a shout came from the rain while they were hitting—

"If you don't want to fight, you can throw your equipment on the ground and run, and everyone will have money to earn together!"

A group of soldiers wondered if there was really no need to fight desperately.

This is Huzhou, the Tiger people are the majority, can a group of Moon Clan people who have been trampled into the soil still be able to turn the sky upside down?

Don't let them win once, let them win a hundred times, and the grass is still the grass guy.

Thinking that their lives were at stake, they simply threw their equipment to the ground and ran through the gap in the ambush circle.

Anyway, it's a guy who was snatched from the Moon Clan, so if you lose it, you can lose it, and you won't lose anything.

In this way, there was a vacuum in the encirclement network that encircled the entire "sheepfold".

By dawn the next day, it was too late.

Not giving them a chance to get back into the field at all, the people of the Moon Clan seem to have made up their minds to play big this time, and have already emptied the entire village......

The sheep don't eat grass, they eat meat instead!

With his right hand clutching at the telescope, the centurion gritted his teeth and creaked.

The adjutant standing next to him was also stunned, and it took a while to swallow his saliva and break the silence.

"Sir...... Do you want to chase it?"

"Chasing ...... Chase a hammer and chase it!" The commander hated to put down the binoculars.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, he can't see clearly.

In addition, it rained heavily last night, and the already dilapidated dirt road was even more muddy.

No doubt.

It must be the one who opens his mouth to say hello

Man Mother Guy!

He regrets it so much now, he just hates that he shouldn't have let this guy go back then.

But it's too late to say anything now......

"So what's going on now?" The adjutant also realized the seriousness of the problem, and looked at the chief with a solemn expression and asked.

"Withdraw, go back and report to the Legion Commander, this is not something we can handle anymore."

The commander of the legion is naturally the general of the Menghu Army, but it is not an official name, but a popular local title.

The Menghu Army digested some of the officers of the Gray Wolf Army, not only learned some of the "New Military Concepts of the Wilantes" brought by General McClen, but also learned some of the "dross" of the Legion, so many Menghu soldiers compared themselves to the Eastern Legion.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Get up, our Menghu Army's money has a share from the imperial court, and the money comes from you in the final analysis, and we really have to protect you...... That's it, it's an obligation."

The cold sweat on the baron's body was about to flow into a small channel, and when he saw that the evil ghost seemed to want to let him go, he hurriedly thanked him with relief.

"Oh, that's what your lord said...... No, no, no, adults have a lot of opportunities, how dare they be troubled by this little thing? Let's just bear with it."

He didn't dare to mention the matter of the Moon Clan, he just thought that he could pass the pass in front of him.

After all, the people of the Yue Clan only rob money and food and don't kill people, but these people in front of them can't really vent their anger or kill them to invite merit.

The governor didn't want to see a few of them who were cultivating the land in the wilderness, and the merchants who came from the port of Golden Gallen to set up factories and workshops were the new favorites of the lord.

However, it seemed too late to change his words, and the commander laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

「…… So let it be that day is not early, and I will bring some of my brothers to stay in your house for one night, lest the bandits come to your house and rob your money, food, and mother-in-law."

The baron panicked and hurriedly said.

"No, no need, sir, I'll keep the door closed tightly at night......

"No?" The commander's eyes narrowed, and he glanced up and down, "Your family...... I'm afraid it's not the moon bandit who is hiding."

Seeing that the military masters put their hands on their waists, the baron only felt that his legs were weak, and he almost didn't kneel on the ground.

What a wreck!

This guy is also worthy of being a Tiger Clansman!

It's a nobleman!

Looking at the waste coldly, the commander waved his hand with a smile.

The two soldiers immediately understood, and walked up with a smile, and held up the baron, who was about to lie on the ground.

They know what their temperament is, and they will definitely not lose two mouthfuls of soup when they eat meat.

"You two go up and give him a hand! Let's go home with the baron and say hello to his wife."

"Good boss!"

"Hahaha!"

The two soldiers replied with a smile as they dragged the baron up from the ground.

The nobles next to him were as quiet as cicadas, and no one dared to say a word, only looked numbly at the guy who was kicking his legs and crying like a pig to be slaughtered.

At first, when the Moon Clan people called, they still thought in their hearts that His Majesty would save them, but they didn't think that they would be stabbed by their own people first.

And those soldiers were the same, without the slightest reverence for titles and imperial power in their hearts, and even smiled and pondered what the ladies and ladies of the aristocratic families tasted like.

Almost unanimously, the witch camel was dead in the minds of both the man who wielded the whip and the one who was whipped up......

Although the leader of the Menghu Army did not claim the throne, the northern part of Luowei State and even the entire Huzhou were already his world......

……

On the other side, in the north of the nameless valley, a group of escaped people were singing with joy, throwing themselves beside the stream and splashing a handful of water on their faces.

Thanks to the heavy rain last night, the pursuers couldn't touch their backs at all.

Of course!

More thanks to their great generals!

They hadn't won a single battle before Rassi came here, and they won two last night.

Even the veterans of the Resistance have to admit that this guy does have two brushes, although he doesn't have any big ideas and big ideas in his head, and his style is arbitrary and arbitrary, and even said the big rebellious words "Lao Tzu is equality", but at least he is a good hand at fighting.

Before going to Menglu Prefecture, it doesn't hurt to let him lead everyone, and replace him in the future.

However, the patriarchs did not notice that the young men they had rescued from the farm looked at Lassi as if they were looking at the moon god in the mortal world, and their fanatical eyes were shining.

Including the boy who was kicked in the ass by Lassi when they first met, including the rookie egg who welded the shoulder strap of his rifle to his shoulder.

The Resistance men rescued them from the farms, and they were grateful, but in the end they had to farm, starve, and endure...... Nothing seems to have changed.

Moreover, there was no red soil in the deep mountains and old forests far from the people, and the big trees that had been cut down were weeds and shrubs, and they were so hungry that they had to gnaw on the bark and eat the kaolin that could not be digested at all.

Did they rebel because they starved?

Of course not!

It was because those who took them by the hand promised that if they followed them, they would give them their own fields and endless food!

Those Moon Clan seniors also told them that everyone could afford to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, just like those free people.

For now, only Lassi has hope of helping them achieve this unattainable dream.

After all, this dream cannot be realized by farming, even if it is not possible until the end of the wasteland era.

They have to go and grab it!

Go and grab the nobles' farms and estates!

To rob the most fertile land and the abundant granary, to rob the money and grain that His Majesty had snatched from them, and to take back all that was theirs—

It's like a wildfire boiling in the middle of summer!

Looking at the young men with high morale, Lassi squinted slightly, and a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.

It was the first time he had seen a glimmer of hope in them, not the wreckage he had seen in the war reports.

More than 4,000 people escaped with him, about half of them were the "old men" who had followed the White Bear Knights to make trouble in the port of Kingalen, and the rest were more people rescued by the Resistance from nearby farms.

The latter have men, women, and some half-grown children.

As for the elderly, it is rare, after all, unless it is an old guy with a skill, slave owners generally do not raise livestock that cannot work, and there are not a few who are buried directly in the red soil.

"You're doing a great job! But it's not enough!"

Looking at the pair of eyes that were looking at her, Lassi opened her voice and shouted.

"On the battlefield, time is of the essence! Be quicker than your enemies, and strike harder than them, and you will be the ones who live."

"Remember! If you want to climb up from the pit of the dead, you have to be cruel to yourself first, and if you want to live, don't treat yourself as a special person!"

"I give you the ability to live today, and you will teach your soldiers in the future! Today we only have a few thousand, tomorrow we have tens of thousands, and there will be tens of thousands in the future!"

"The breakout is not over yet, we have to pass through Huzhou, and then through Mazhou, until the people of the empire can't catch up with us completely!"

"Follow me north! Pack your stuff and move forward!

」

……

……

「…… I will give you the ability to live today, and you will teach your soldiers in the future! Keep my eyes wide open and my ears pricked up to listen!"

「…… Grandma's, learn from Lao Tzu to speak again!"

「…… Hammer hammer, you know hammer all day long, I say hammer, you also say hammer! Is the hammer what you say? Shout at me, "Yes! Sir!"

In the opening of Camp Lowell, the port of Kingallen echoed, a violent roar.

A group of young men in military uniforms stood in a neat line, with their chests held out, their waists straight enough to measure with a ruler.

They are all reserve officers promoted from the grassroots level, and the future company commanders, battalion commanders and even regiment commanders of the Jingalen Port Militia Regiment.

And standing in front of them at this moment was the instructor from the Alliance's most elite "Fast Reaction Force" Burning Corps - Zero Chong.

Although this guy is not a serious person, he still has to do what he should do, and the method of training these guys is basically the same as in reality.

The officer he reprimanded did not dare to take a breath, and shouted loudly with his neck high.

"Yes, sir!"

"No spirit! I can't hear you!"

"Yes!

！ Sir!

！」

"Good!"

The roar almost exhausted all the strength of his body, and Zero Chong finally nodded in satisfaction, reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, pinching his shoulder and shaking it.

"Not bad, very energetic!"

He is actually a very civilized and high-quality person, but he can't be too civilized when he trains, and he can't talk about it.

These people only have one life, and they can't be resurrected like players, so he naturally can't teach them in a joking way, and he still has to be ruthless when he should be ruthless.

Moreover, looking at those eyes, these young men are actually quite grateful to him in their hearts.

No one is stupid.

Now endure more hardship, sweat more, and go to the battlefield to shed less blood.

Out of the settlement is a wasteland, and they always have to deal with something on their own.

"Today's training is over, everyone has worked hard, it is time to eat, it is time to drink......

Back in front of the queue, Zero Chong walked around with his shoulders relaxed, glancing at everyone casually.

No one moved.

It was completely different from when he first came here three days ago, and these two stunned people finally had a shadow of discipline in their hearts, and they didn't waste his words in vain.

Zero Chong finally nodded approvingly and waved his right hand.

"All teammates! Disband!"

Almost as soon as his words fell, a group of people rushed towards the cafeteria like a tornado that destroyed the parking lot.

After a whole day of training, all of them were so hungry that they wanted to cook with buckets.

Looking at the young men who were alive and well, the corners of Ling Chong's mouth curled up with a smile, and then he followed him to the cafeteria and found the three teammates who had already sat down there.

Looking at the young men who were cooking in the cafeteria, Erliang Yueguang sighed and said.

"To tell you the truth, I feel like I'm going to Africa as an instructor...... It's really hard to teach these people!"

Shanhe said with a smile.

"Haha, that's a coincidence! Me too!"

The first student looked at the newspaper and didn't participate in the topic of the two, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Lassi and a group of retired officers of the militia regiment joined forces with the Resistance three days ago and are now breaking through the encirclement network of the Menghu Army and advancing northeast...... Good guy, this guy can fight!"

He looked away.

I thought that guy was just a cynical and angry young man with no skills, who would have thought that people would dare to throw away the wine bottle and copy the guy in trouble, instead of just living in the newspaper like the literati in this city.

is worthy of Elder Brother Fang, looking at people is vicious!

To be honest, he actually admired Brother Fang a little, and even felt that the dog plan was a bit too much for Brother Fang.

Why was no one else called to report to the hearing, so he was called back by Xiaoyu for training.

Without the intervention planned by the dog, he is now killing in the South China Sea.

Erliang Yueguang looked curiously at Ling Chong, who had just sat down, and asked, "That criticizing Lassi was taught by you?"

Zero Chong shook his head.

"Turtle, how can I have that ability, I guess it was taught by a brother in some major."

Including Lao Bai, there are some brothers in the Burning Corps who have retired and changed jobs, and this is not a secret that will not be seen in the dark. It's just a tacit understanding formed in the early days of the server, and everyone rarely brings real-life identities into the game.

Unless it's already known in reality.

"Yes," Shan He nodded in a dream, "After all, people who really talk about discipline are also—"

"Why don't you mention fellow again, I'm really anxious with you!"

Zero Chong crooked his nose and was about to stand up, but a recruit trotted over and gave a military salute with his right fist to his chest.

"Report! Sir! Your family is looking for you!"

"Poof——!

Erliang, who was drinking seaweed egg soup, sprayed on the spot, and the seaweed choked out of his nose

。

The sullen version of the first born didn't react at all, but he was amused by the seaweed hanging in Brother Moonlight's nostrils and lay on the table, and his right fist slammed the table.

"Hahahaha!"

The "students" next to them all looked at it curiously.

Shanhe fell asleep and shook his head and scolded.

"! It's so newborn!"

Zero Chong stood up from his chair with a thud and covered the recruit's mouth in anger.

"Don't talk nonsense! What dependents ...... I've only been here for a long time, and where are my family here?"

The recruit was also a little confused when he heard this.

The main thing is that the old man always brought the little girl to the gate of the barracks, and when he met people, he asked if there was a blue coat called [Zero Chong].

Although he also felt outrageous, no matter how young that girl was, this relationship was somewhat excessive, but he couldn't stand that there was really this person among the instructors.

What if it's true?

Isn't that the water of the Eternal River flooding the City of a Thousand Pillars?

This kind of thing should have asked Lassi to come forward, he was dealing with it before, and when he heard that the two steamed buns sent the old man away, he would never dare to come again.

But now that Nalasi had resigned, the old man could not hear what was being discussed in the whole city, so he came to the door again after pondering.

Seeing that the instructor looked anxious, the recruit asked tentatively.

"That...... Shall I blow that old man away?"

"Don't! Wait a minute...... Ay! Damn, I'd better go by myself." Faced with the evil expressions of the three animals, Zero Chong gritted his teeth, left Kuaizi and walked out of the door.

After all, he has to solve this matter by himself, otherwise the rumors will become more and more outrageous, and the things he has not done will become his doing.

While everyone in the barracks was eating, he hurried to the door of Lowell's camp, and sure enough, he saw an old man holding a little girl by his hand.

It can be seen that the earth-shaking changes in Golden Gallen Port still have a great impact on the two of them.

Both materially and spiritually.

Both for good and for bad.

The "old man" is actually not old, at most middle-aged, but the years have carved a lot of marks on his face, and he is as anxious as the wastelanders in the wasteland. And now he is refreshed, his face is red, his waist is straight, and he looks like a middle-aged man.

He seemed to have some kind of reliance in his heart, and he did not pay attention to the soldiers at the gate of the barracks, although he did not pass them by in a proper manner.

And those soldiers didn't dare to offend him, but politely stopped him from entering.

That little girl doesn't have so many dramas, she is innocent and doesn't know so many adult things, but when she saw that the big brother who gave the candy was back, she had a happy expression on her face.

"Brother Chong!"

She screamed.

The old man on the side also heard it, and he also looked at Ling Chong who was walking briskly and waved at him.

"Your Excellency! You're back!"

Seeing a pair of eyes looking over, Ling Chong only felt that the ants were crawling, but he still walked over with a hard head.

The little girl named Arnold is getting more and more smart.

Perhaps it is the blessing of the prosperity of the import and export trade, she has eaten well recently, and the contours of her cheeks have become rounded, looking at the powder, and her dark eyes are even brighter, looking shining.

However, the more cute it looked, the more it hurt and blamed himself in his heart.

Without the simple eyes that have been impregnated by education, it is really not something worth advocating.

Just because of a piece of candy, because of some unrealistic ideas, the family who should have been standing on the train missed the train to the new era and became the people who were hurriedly left behind by the times.

He couldn't imagine.

A few months ago, I said to myself, "Arnold is too small...... Let's change it", but now he is persevering in trying to shove his daughter's hand into his hand.

It seemed that by doing so, he would be able to get out of some kind of sea of suffering—a certain sea of suffering in his heart.

Seeing Zero Chong walking in front of him, the old man said with a flattering smile.

"Your Excellency...... My daughter is not small, and she should be—"

"It's time to find a school, too."

Without hesitation, interrupting his words, Zero Chong touched it in his pocket, and didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, so he stubbornly stuffed a banknote into the old man's hand.

Happiness came too suddenly, and the old man's eyes widened and he thanked him ecstatically.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Arnold's eyes stared straight at the pocket that seemed to hold countless magical props.

She wasn't interested in the colorful pieces of paper, but she still wanted to eat the candy she had eaten before.

Her father said that she would have endless candy with this brother in the future, and she thought it would be good, and if she couldn't finish it, she could give some to her brothers and sisters.

Looking at the old man who still wanted to say something, Ling Chong stared at his eyes and said meticulously.

"Don't thank me, this money is not for you, it's for her tuition! I was abrupt that time...... I don't deny that it's really my fault, but you can't hold on to me, can you? I'll find someone to keep an eye on you, and if you don't send her to school, I'll ...... I'm going to dig your house with a special mother!"

The old man's face changed and changed, but he was still afraid of gaining the upper hand, so he nodded resignedly.

"I must send her, I must ......."

He can't afford to mess with these big shots.

The events of that day were vivid, Master Fang's subordinates only frowned, and the fierce Lassi did not frown for a moment, and killed the brother who had offended the alliance.

And without asking a word, the entire team of ten was shot.

A relieved smile appeared on Zero Chong's face, but he didn't want Arnold's face to show loss.

"Brother, don't you want Arnold?"

Her mother specially washed her hair and put on a beautiful hairpin for her.

Zero Chong squatted down and comforted softly.

"You don't need me, or rather...... You don't need anyone, you need schools and books."

He gradually realized that there were no shortcuts to what they were doing.

They gave the survivors of the wasteland something, but in the end, some things had to be done by the people themselves.

Otherwise they will become black boxes.

Black box in another sense.

When they leave, everything will change back, and they won't even have to wait for them to leave, and they will end up like the Federation in the southern seas.

"But...... Then there's no sugar." Arnold lowered his head and whispered yes.

"Study hard, learn knowledge, there will be a lot of candy in the future, you can buy it yourself, and you can give it to children who cry when they don't eat candy like me."

Zero Chong subconsciously reached out to touch her little head, but he reluctantly remembered something, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

This time he didn't relent.

No matter how pitifully those big eyes looked at him, he didn't put his hand in his pocket and take out the candy, but just waved his hand and watched the father and daughter walk away.

After the two disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go back to the cafeteria, only to find the three friends watching him not far behind him, still carrying a packed plastic bag in their hands.

"I know you haven't eaten enough," Erliang Moonlight shook the buns in the plastic bag with a smile on his face, "The newborn wants to take me to see the world, will you go?"

"Just going to the theater to see a stage play," the first child grumbled, glancing disappingly at the animal next to him, "can you please not use such an easily misleading statement as if I am such a brute."

Erliang Yueguang looked at him in surprise, and the look in his eyes seemed to say, "Isn't it?"

Shanhe fell asleep and walked up and patted Ling Chong's shoulder, grinning and said.

"Do you know why you don't let people give candy to eat, no matter how you explain it, it will end up like this."

Plain kindness is not a mistake, but the right thing doesn't always end well.

Because they are two very different dimensions, one might even say completely parallel and disjointed.

Zero Chong let out a long sigh.

"I see...... Isn't that something special?"

The butterfly effect of a piece of sugar is not as big as a pistol, right?

I believe that under his coercion and temptation, the old father should send his child to school.

It was also at this moment that he suddenly understood why Elder Brother Fang always told them to do less superfluous things......

……

(Thank you to the leader of "Makabaka" for the reward!)
