Chapter 240: This Is Not a Drill, This Is a War!
On the parade platform, Zhu Xiaoqi calmly looked at the female soldiers of the Dusk Snow Guard who were neatly lined up and standing tall in front of him, and his solemn gaze swept over these soldiers who were about to embark on the journey with him, and finally stopped at the pair of beautiful twin sisters in front of the phalanx.
He still vividly remembered the surprise and panic he felt when he first saw them, and he had no idea that that one encounter would change his fate in a strange way. A homeless man who just wants to earn a few gold coins, eat a good meal and find a hotel to sleep well, has a dream the moment he puts on the Celestial Dragon uniform...... Yes, Dream, this damned fellow, like a scantily clad girl under a dusk street lamp, gently threw a wink at him, and ignited the passion and desire that slumbered in his veins, and led him to risk his life on an incomparably coquettish path.
It was the growth path of a hot-blooded soldier, a bumpy road destined to be full of blood and fire, and it seemed to be the most suitable path for him. On this road, he is almost omnipotent, and the military uniform not only makes him bloody, but also makes his mind increasingly clear and sharp. His military career of more than a year is very short, but he has left behind many legends that the world talks about. The flap of a butterfly's wings is enough to change the world, and the appearance of a small person is enough to change the fate of a country. The miracles that were born because of him are like spring rain silently moistening the earth, profoundly changing this country and its people.
As for what is at the end of the road and how far he can go in the future, Zhu Xiaoqi has no bottom in his heart. But he saw the direction clearly, knew what he was pursuing, and what kind of life he wanted.
In the face of Zhu Xiaoqi's long silence, the expressions on the faces of most of the female soldiers were stiff and indifferent, and their eyes were confused and angry. Some people even feel that this hateful guy is putting on a show and taking the opportunity to vent their long-standing dissatisfaction with them.
At this time, Zhu Xiaoqi suddenly took a few steps forward and stood on the edge of the parade platform.
"Lan Xinyi!"
A majestic roar shook the female soldiers' bodies.
This guy, is he going to attack the vice captain? Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Xiaoqi in an instant. Everyone knew in their hearts that for many reasons, the vice captain had always been the least interested person in Twilight Snow Guard, and many times he even made no secret of his dislike for him.
"Here!" Lan Xinyi cried out bitterly in her heart and replied loudly. Although the hazy relationship between Zhu Xiaoqi and her sister has come to an end, the grievances between herself and him are not over. This grievance is related to her attitude and Wu Chen.
"Out of the ranks!" Zhu Xiaoqi looked at her, his face sinking like water.
"Yes!" Lan Xinyi bit her lip lightly and walked out of the queue proudly, her eyes looking at him without fear.
"You are the deputy captain of Dusk Xuewei, this is Dusk Xuewei's soldiers, are you the soldiers you brought out?" Zhu Xiaoqi pointed to the female soldiers in the queue and asked with a mocking expression.
Lan Xinyi didn't need to look at it, she knew what was going on in her heart. No matter how upright she stands, she can't hide her inner weakness, and the female soldiers who were selected to participate in the show have too much anxiety and worry in their hearts. Although she had repeatedly mobilized and given them a lot of encouragement, it still did not give them the confidence to defeat the enemy. What's more, even she herself felt that this battle was bound to be lost.
"Yes!" she said with a sense of helplessness.
"Okay, very good!" Zhu Xiaoqi sneered, "Then please look at this group of women who are dejected and crying before they go to the battlefield, and tell me loudly, is Twilight Xuewei the most elite troops in the empire, or a group of lambs to be slaughtered?"
Zhu Xiaoqi, you are too hateful, too much! Lan Xinyi looked at him, her beautiful eyes breathing fire.
"You can insult me, but don't insult them!Every soldier in Twilight is the best soldier in the Empire!They are not afraid of death, they just don't see any hope of victory!" she said through gritted teeth.
"The best soldiers?" Zhu Xiaoqi smiled, smiling disdainfully, "Are they worthy?"
Without waiting for Lan Xinyi to speak, he asked loudly again, "You sue me, what is the mission of a soldier?"
"Defend the family and defend the country!" Lan Xinyi blurted out.
"Very good, congratulations on your correct answer! However, the princes of the enemy country have all run to the door of the house and point at their faces and scold their mothers, as a soldier, do you blush when you say this?" Zhu Xiaoqi suddenly changed, and his voice was full of shocking anger.
Lan Xinyi's face turned very pale. This question is like a sharp arrow that ruthlessly pierces a corner of her heart that has been carefully hidden, where her lofty ideals of joining the army and her desire for a strong military life are treasured.
The female soldiers also couldn't help but bow their heads in shame. Some of them have long lost their way in the life of drunkenness, and military uniforms are a beautiful ornament for them, giving them the capital to show off among girls of the same age.
How far away is war for these girls who have grown up in peacetime! Even if it one day comes, and the millions of troops of the empire will rush to the front line to rush to the enemy, where will it be their turn?
"I, Zhu Xiaoqi, am recognized as thick-skinned. However, when the prince of the enemy country ran to Haiyue City to openly provoke the Tianlong soldiers, I, as a private, were so blushing and red!" Zhu Xiaoqi roared, as crazy as a wounded lion, his eyes were full of fierce murderous intent, and his whole body exuded an astonishing battle intent.
Donna looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, who was angry, and felt distressed for no reason. This man, the humble is the birth, and the noble is the soul. Born in such a country, wearing his favorite military uniform, and carrying the mission of a soldier, he endured more pain than ordinary people. Perhaps because of this, in the northern land of the wolf clan, he will desperately repel Meng Yi, and keep a spark of hope for himself and the country to defeat the rising sun.
Lan Xinyue was deeply shocked by Zhu Xiaoqi's words. Didn't this fat man enter the army in the first place because he was in a coma and waiting to die? Why did he become so strange and terrifying today because of the provocation of the fourth prince? This kind of change made her intoxicated and also made her worried. War could break out at any time, and at this time, anyone who had the hope of changing the fate of the Celestial Dragon would become a thorn in the side of the Rising Sun that would soon want to get rid of it.
"I don't know how it feels for you, who are also soldiers, to feel. Zhu Xiaoqi sighed, "But when I returned from the battlefield, I realized a truth in blood and fire: the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and victory requires sacrifice! I, Zhu Xiaoqi, am not stupid, I know who I am facing, I know that the hope of winning is very slim, and I know better what the defeat of this exercise means to me and to Tianlong! However, I did not hesitate to take this errand, and I want Twilight Xuewei to face it with me, do you know why?"
Why? The female soldiers raised their heads. This is the question that has always puzzled them.
"Because, in my eyes, this is not a drill, this is a war! I am an imperial soldier, I am from Dusk Xuewei, you are all my comrades-in-arms, I can only trust you and rely on you on this battlefield! I want to work with you to revive the power of the Tianlong Army in the flames of war, so that the name of Dusk Xuewei will be remembered by the world!" Zhu Xiaoqi's voice clearly reached everyone's ears. The voice conveys unwavering determination, fearless courage and the belief in victory.
Du Xuewei is Li Xiaowan's troops, I want to use this battle to let the glory of the century-old Jiangmen shine again on the world! War is coming, I want these female soldiers to grow up quickly on the battlefield, and fulfill my promise to protect them! A voice echoed in Zhu Xiaoqi's heart.
"In order to prove that I am not a dwarf of a giant of words, I will prove that I am capable of leading you to victory, no matter who our opponent is!" Zhu Xiaoqi said, his eyes turning to the gate of the training ground.
At the gate, Leng Yunfei and others led a team of soldiers, carrying a mouthful of large boxes, and walked quickly towards the parade platform.
