The young guy who was eliminated in the election was frustrated and somewhat reluctant. But in the face of such strict requirements, they can only sigh and think that more efforts are needed!

At the mouth of the Donghantan River, the army has been assembled here for five or six days. Although nothing unusual has happened here in the past few days, no one dares to take it lightly.

In particular, in the Warcraft Mountain Range, the soldiers of the army who have experienced the war with the demons have maintained a tight heart for a long time.

They really saw the cunning and horror of the devil. Maybe if they relax a little, they will be controlled by the soul Obilis. At that time, even their companions would not hesitate to point their swords at themselves!

Because once the soul is controlled by the demon, they are no longer their own, but a demon puppet that endangers the entire army!

In the most central barracks, a large number of soldiers gathered.

There were 15 captains and 25 lieutenants, but the number of second lieutenants was too large to attend this important meeting.

"Demacia, how many of us have there been so far?" Kamikaze asked.

Demacia thought for a moment and replied, "So far, we have gathered 200,000 soldiers, including 90,000 soldiers, of which 30,000 have been recruited in the last five days; 40,000 dwarven soldiers; 10,000 members of the Thorn Rose, of which 30,000 and 1,000 are elemental guards; About 5,000 men are the private army of the Monchi family."

Kamikaze nodded expressionlessly: "Hmm! This is probably the largest troop we've been able to gather so far! The most important thing now is that we can't be sure when the demon army will appear!"

At this time, Kamikaze looked at the other officer beside him, the former patriarch of the tribe, Sharuye, and said, "You must show all the newly joined subhuman warriors that this war is extraordinary, and we will face countless demons! If any of them regret it, we won't embarrass them and let them go!"

Sharuye solemnly said, "I will do it! However, I think that our people in the prairie do not have those timid young people who are afraid of death! Now that they have chosen to join the army, they are ready to face all dangers!"

Kamikaze smiled and nodded, "I hope so! You know, many people will die in this war! I'm not trying to break morale, but I can tell you the truth, maybe after this battle, maybe more than half of you will die! So, if some of you hesitate, now is the time to stand up and quit! I don't have any opinions. Because I want to make sure that everyone is volunteering to participate in this fight, and I don't want anyone to back down then!"

As he spoke, Kamikaze looked around and saw that no one was standing up. He was about to continue speaking when a young man stood in the corner.

In the military tent, everyone's eyes were on him!!

Some even started whispering!

It was a young man from the savannah named Simba.

"This guy, how dare he be so cowardly! Actually still from the prairie? What a pity!"

"Yes! When do we savannah people fear death? We have been living in the most difficult circumstances for many years. I didn't expect that there would be such a courageless person."

......

Many of the subhuman soldiers began to whisper insults because they were ashamed!

Sharuye, on the other hand, frowned, confused.

The young man named Simba made a big impression on him. He is Zavalado's nurtured henchman and has made great progress in the last few years. So now you can sit in this military tent as a lieutenant.

Based on what Sharuye knows about Simba, he shouldn't have chosen to retreat. Because Zavalado mentioned this man more than once in front of him. Every time he talks about Simba, Zavarado is excited and relieved, saying that he is simply a genius, a warrior who is rare to see in a hundred years.

At the time, Shaluye had always believed that it was Zavarado's exaggeration and his excessive appreciation of Simba that led to such an exaggerated claim.

Until one time, Shaluye saw Zavalado enter a herd of more than 20 cheetahs, and under the siege of the herd, he was one

Man alone overthrew the whole herd!

At that time, Sharuye realized that this young man named Simba was indeed very powerful and terrifying!

You know, the cheetahs of the savannah are much stronger than the average wild wolf! In the environment of the savannah, their hair becomes very tough, like steel.

But even so, Simba was still able to kill so many cheetahs on his own, and in the end he was only slightly injured! It really shocked Sharouya, who witnessed it all at the time!

Because of this, Zavalado has always suggested that Simba take over the position of "Captain" directly. However, considering that Simba is still too young, only 18 years old this year, Sharuye disagrees and can only make an exception to promote him to lieutenant.

Sharuye didn't expect him to be the first to stand up!

In the camp, all the senior *** is concentrated here. No one among the other forces has opted out, only the bravest subhumans. Some of them even made suggestions!

Although the Elemental General didn't say anything, he showed contempt and contempt in his cold eyes.

However, the dwarven general stared blankly at the map of the steppe in front of him, not knowing what to think.

Kamikaze didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "It's okay! We won't blame you. After all, everyone has only one life. There is an option to do something more meaningful. You have this right, and we should not interfere."

However, to everyone's surprise, this young man named Simba actually said such a thing.

"In this war, I want to join the advance team!"

This sentence directly shocked everyone in the barracks.

The elemental made the general look surprised and turned to look at the young subhuman. The dwarven general also looked up.

The kamikaze paused for a moment, then asked, "Why? Do you know what it means to be an advance team?"

Simba nodded heavily, "I know! The advance team will basically die faster! I understand all these things, but I just want to be the first to fight the demons! My wish is simple!"

Kamikaze looked serious, his eyes full of respect and awe: "Child, what's your name?"

"My name is Simba! I'm a subordinate of Zavalado."

After Simba finished speaking, he smiled briefly.

Kamikaze glanced at Sharuya beside him, as if to ask for his opinion.

Sharuya took a long breath, "Hmm! As an advance force, you must have enough courage and strength! The enemy must be given a head-on blow! And Simba, I think you can take that responsibility!"

Seeing that Sharuya agreed, Kamikaze immediately nodded: "Okay! Simba, I'll arrange for 3,000 men to form an advance force for you. Do you think that's enough?"

Simba smiled, then touched his head, "Three thousand! That's enough. I've never brought so many brothers! It's a shame we can't drink together as usual. We're going to hit the road together!"

Simba spoke of this in a flat tone. It seems that it is not about life and death, but about family matters.

Kamikaze was also a little shocked. Over the past 20 years, he has gone through countless wars, fought against many brothers! But he had never seen a general as brave as Simba!

Kamikaze is a little sad. If a few years ago, Simba would have become the top warrior of the savannah, and a legend that the subhumans will always sing.

In other words, in any other war, Simba would have been a great general with brilliant deeds!

However, in such a battle, he will play the role of "vanguard", which dooms him to die soon! Even before he dies, he won't gain a high reputation if he can kill more demons. qδ

Because the "Advance Dispatch" is destined to die soon! Frankly speaking, the advance team is the cannon fodder of the whole battle, the pioneer, and the character who must be sacrificed to blow the horn of war.

However, this character is very important and indispensable, and there must be enough warriors to compose!

In Sharuye's opinion, Simba is indeed a very suitable candidate. But in this way, the light of this genius will be ruthlessly obscured, which makes Sharuye and Kamikaze feel very conflicted.

Those who had been pointing at Simba now looked at the young man's expression and became very serious and respectful. They are more or less ashamed of what they have just said!

The meeting ended quickly after explaining the following.

The officers also walked out of the camp one after another and began to teach orders to all sides.

Sharuye walked up to Simba and patted him on the shoulder. He wanted to say something, but his lips kept shaking. In the end, he didn't say a word.

Simba smiled silly at Sharuye and touched his head. There was a hint of pride on his face, but he wasn't afraid of death!

Watching Simba disappear, Sharuye stood in the same place for a long time, unable to calm down. Finally, his eyes suddenly became moist.

It's only early autumn, but the savannah can be cold in the morning and evening in the fall.

And the winter cold pool, which blows the cold wind of evil spirits all year round, is even colder!

The Winter Pond is large, but there is no vegetation except for some mosses and low shrubs. Even near the pool, there is no grass and leaves.

There are no people here all year round, which adds a bit of cold and humid atmosphere.

On the edge of the pool in the Winter Cold Pool, dozens of people squatted on the left side of the pool, looking at a dark cave!

The portal is so large that it can almost accommodate the moving towers of the Dwarven Kingdom in and out freely!

However, according to the subhumans, while the hole on the outside of the cave is large, it will get narrower and narrower on the inside!

There are many rumors about this cave. It is said that almost all those who entered the cave did not come out alive.

So far, only one person has managed to escape, and this person has been dead for hundreds of years. These are legends that have been passed down orally from ancestors and cannot be confirmed yet.

According to the ancients, the man did not say a word after coming out of the cave.

When people asked him what was in the cave, he just shook his head in fear, but didn't say a word!

This man is dead, and no one else can know the truth about this cave!

Of course, over the past many years, there have been brave and curious young people who, who do not believe in evil, entered this cave. They all ended the same, but none of them came out!

In recent years, as the savannah trade routes have matured, young people have found their new interests and new focuses, so they don't care about the cave.

However, a large number of troops were stationed near Winter Pool, and their attention was almost entirely focused on this terrible cave.

At this time, the entire Knights of the Flame were guarding near the entrance of the cave, and kept an eye out for any anomalies at the entrance.

Leonardo da Vinci stood on the edge of the bottomless pool, staring coldly at the surface of the water, which was constantly rising and falling in the cold wind.

Curiously, the temperature in the Winter Pond is very low and already below freezing, but the water in the deep pool shows no signs of condensation at all.

In addition, the pool is too deep and the color of the water looks black, giving it a strange feeling.

Leonardo da Vinci stood on the edge of the pool, his hair fluttering everywhere in the cold wind, but he was like a sculpture, motionless.

At that moment, when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned around gently and looked behind him.

It was a tall middle-aged man who came here. It was none other than the chief commander of the army, Sharouye.

Leonardo da Vinci was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?"

In his opinion, the Corps should be the busiest at this time. After all, so many recruits have just been recruited, and it takes a lot of time to train.

Sharuyah looked helpless and said bitterly, "A man has returned. I'm here to hide!"

Leonardo da Vinci's doubts grew stronger: "Who is back? You need to hide?"

Sharuye smiled awkwardly, "It's Zavarado!"

"Zavalado?" Leonardo da Vinci still didn't understand.

Shaluya said, "Do you know what just happened in this barracks?"

Leonardo da Vinci nodded, "I heard that a little guy named Simba volunteered to be the first person in the advance force. His courage is commendable, but

I've always felt sorry for it."

Sharuya sighed, "Alas! Who says it isn't! But the location of the advance force is also important. It really takes a strong future leadership team like Simba! If we can find a second man, how can we make him the advance?"

Leonardo da Vinci asked, "What does this have to do with Zavalado?"

Sharuya smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know that Simba is a trustworthy apprentice that Zavalado has cultivated in recent years. I have always valued him. Now when he returned, he heard that his most important subordinate was going to be an advance force. Can he not be angry?"

Leonardo da Vinci remained silent: "We were meant to die on the battlefield. What's the difference between dying a day early and dying later?"

Sharuye waved his hand, "Although this is the truth, it can't be said like that!"

"Zavalado doesn't want to risk the people he values so much, and that's normal. I can understand the feeling!"

Leonardo da Vinci looked thoughtfully, "So what? You're coming to me to hide?"

Sharuye nodded, "It's really cold here, but it's better than having me face an angry Zavarado! Of course, Zavalado didn't dare say more to the kamikaze, but he didn't say that to me!"

"I thought about it. It's still the safest place here. Zavalado wouldn't have guessed I was here!"

Speaking of this, Shaluye couldn't help but wrap up her clothes because the temperature here was too low.

Leonardo da Vinci took a thick fox pelt from another Knight of Light and threw it to Udir: "Hurry up and put it on. You look trembling right now!"

Sharuye hurriedly took it and put it on his body. His lips trembled, and he could hear teeth clashing. He took a breath and said vaguely, "You, are you really not cold when you are dressed so little?"

Leonardo da Vinci said calmly, "We have already died once. Frankly, we are dead, but our souls live in the corpses of these ancient elementals!"

"Are the dead still afraid of the cold?"

Then, Leonardo da Vinci turned around and continued to look at the bottomless black water in the pool in front of him.

Sharuye looked strange and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Leonardo da Vinci suddenly turned around and said, "I suggest you run quickly!"

Sharuya looked surprised and was about to ask why, but he heard a roaring voice behind him: "Sharuya, come here, we have to fight today!" If I don't beat you into a pig's head, I'll lose!"

The sound of a roar echoes through the cold valley.

As soon as Sharuya heard this voice, his face changed. He quickly wrapped up his fur coat and prepared to find a relatively remote way out of this extremely cold place!

He didn't want to face Zavalado's wrath. This guy is so angry!

In the barracks at the entrance to the Winter Cold Lake, a solemn confrontation took place.

"I won't agree with this decision anyway! Simba is my man and my warrior! If I say no, I can't!" Zavalado shouted angrily.

Next to him stood four people, Ace, Kamikaze, Sharuya, and Simba.

Sharuya smiled bitterly and said, "If we can, we don't want Simba to join the advance force! After all, he can play a much more important role on the battlefield! But if the advance force does not have brave men to take charge, it will be meaningless!"

"You're also a warrior. I don't think I need to say more about the role of the advance force?"

Zavalado naturally understands this. Not so long ago, during a defensive battle of the city with the army of New Delhi, David led thousands of men to storm the troops of New Delhi, causing great confusion to the enemy.

"I understand all this! But......" Zavalado paused as he said this, then sighed, "Anyway, that person can't be Simba!"

Shaluye grew serious: "Zavalado, anyone on the battlefield can die! You, me, Simba, and even General Ace! None of us can guarantee absolute safety! In this case, all we can do is kill as many enemies as possible while alive and control the situation as much as possible to win the most

After victory!"

"Right now, our advance force really lacks a strong commander, and Simba has stepped up. How can we say no? What's more, we can't find a second suitable candidate at the moment!" Sharuye's tone was one of helplessness.

How easy is it to find a second Simba among thousands of troops?

Zavalado's face was filled with anger and reluctance. He tried to refute, but he didn't know how to respond, so he was caught in a dilemma.

Sharuye continued, "Also, although Simba is your subordinate, he also has his own ideas. If he is determined to become an advance agent, what can you do? You should listen to him anyway, shouldn't you?"

Zavalado looked up at Simba and said, "Simba, tell me honestly, do you really want to be an advance officer?"

Simba nodded heavily, "Well, that's my own idea!"

Still reluctant, Zavalado said, "What if I don't agree? What would you do if I didn't promise to let you be a striker? Besides, this is my command!"

When it came to the last sentence, Zavalado was clearly out of control.

When Sharuye saw this, he couldn't help but frown, "Zavalado, you can't do this!"

Zavalado yelled, "I just want to know his answer!"

Simba innocently touched the back of his head: "Hehe, Commander, I know you don't want me to die!" But many people die in war! And if my death keeps more people alive, then I think my death is worth it!"

"You always tell us that we should do something meaningful. Isn't that a meaningful thing?"

Zavalado was taken aback. He didn't expect Simba, who had always been honest, taciturn, and only giggling, to say such things at this time.

For a long time, Zavalado did not know how to respond, but remained silent with a cold look in his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but Zavarado finally slowly stood up, faced the outside of the camp, sighed for a long time, and then said, "You can decide for yourself, I don't care."

Then Zavalado walked out slowly.

Looking at his lonely figure, Ace had an indescribable taste in his heart. He used to be a good brother and went in and out with him. He was fearless and brave on the battlefield. Now he is heartbroken for one of his subordinates.

Not afraid of his own death, but afraid of his subordinates dying first, this is Zavalado's real thoughts at the moment.

After Zavalado left, Shaluye sighed as well.

During the whole process, Kamikaze and Ace didn't say anything, just stood aside and listened.

Ace smiled gently at Simba and asked, "Simba, are you afraid of death?"

Simba shook his head without hesitation: "Don't be afraid! The first thing he said when he first taught us was that fear of death is the most taboo thing on the battlefield! Because the more afraid you are of dying, the easier it is to expose your flaws and the easier it is to die! How could he forget that in a few years?"

However, Simba doesn't understand that people have feelings. When people have feelings, it's hard to separate them anymore.

Ace listened, his face showing admiration! If everyone in the camp had such a mentality, Ace would have the confidence to defeat the demon army.

Kamikaze said to Simba, "I have sent people into the army, and I have selected 3,000 elites to form a stormtrooper battalion. Then you will be their leader!"

Simba still smiled mercilessly, "Thank you, General!"

With that, Simba left the camp.

"This kid is really rare. I don't want him to be the advance either!" Kamikaze said helplessly.

Ace nodded, "At that time, I'll do my best to keep him safe!" If he survives, maybe it will be more helpful for future wars!"
