"I've seen the Duke. "With Wang Yan as the leader, the disciples of the inner courtyard are in front, and the disciples of the outer courtyard are behind, and everyone salutes the Duke of White Tiger at the same time. In the entire continent, this Duke of the White Tiger is the top nobleman, if not a marshal. Naturally, they can't be rude.

Duke Baihu shook hands with Wang Yan and said, "Everyone, please let Ben Shuai talk about the friendship of the landlord." ”

Wang Yan smiled slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Excellency the Duke doesn't need to be polite, we are here this time to carry out a mission." As long as the Duke asks his subordinates to provide us with enough clues, it will be fine. You don't bother you every day. ”

Duke White Tiger really didn't be polite anymore, and said with a smile: "In that case, Elder Du, you are responsible for receiving all the distinguished guests." In the future, after graduation, you will join the army as you wish, and the door of the Central Army of the Western Group Army of our Star Luo Empire will always be open for you. Maybe I won't have too haode treatment here, but it is definitely the most haode choice for men to make contributions. ”

Ma Xiaotao suddenly spoke, "Lord Duke, do you look down on us women?"

Duke White Tiger was slightly stunned, and when he looked at Ma Xiaotao, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, in his eyes, this young and beautiful girl had a wild aura. And the strength is clearly not weak.

"It's not that I look down on it, but because of how inconvenient women are in the barracks. However, when it comes to the girl's cultivation, it's a different matter. If the girl is willing to choose to follow Ben Shuai after graduation, Ben Shuai will be honored. ”

Ma Xiaotao showed a bright smile on her face, but she stopped talking, and she was very satisfied with it.

Wang Yan was a little helpless, although he was the nominal leader, but he was not as good as Ma Xiaotao in terms of cultivation, so naturally he couldn't restrain the dean's high feet, and said apologetically: "Lord Duke, then we won't bother you." ”

"Hmm. I hope there will be a chance to zaijian to all of you. After saying this, the White Tiger Duke turned around and walked towards the cowhide tent.

It wasn't until he disappeared into the cowhide tent that Huo Yuhao felt a sense of relief. Even when he was weak at the beginning, he had never been as nervous as he was in front of him. At this time, there was a feeling of some prostration.

Dureth led the group to another tent. Meals were arranged for them to rest first. Then it's time to collect the intelligence and clues that Shrek's people need. Before leaving, he still glanced at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao with some confusion.

Wang Yan said: "After dinner, everyone rested for three hours, and then we set off into the Mingdou Mountain Range. When the time comes, I believe that the information should also arrive. ”

After yesterday's rush, everyone was a little tired, and they had to adjust their physical condition to the best before they were suitable for entering the mountain to fight.

Xu Sanshi couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Wang, the strength of the White Tiger guards under the Duke of the White Tiger is not bad, don't you send the White Tiger guards to exterminate them?"

Dai Keyheng said, "I've been there." If there are more people going, the other party will flee when they hear the news, and if there are fewer people going, it will have no effect. The Hand of Death bandits are strong. And extremely cunning. It is even possible that spies were planted in the army. My father had sent people to exterminate him many times, but the losses were not small but he returned in vain. The area where the bandits are stationed is too sensitive on the border between the two countries. In order to avoid unnecessary wars, the Central Army had no choice but to forbear. We are different, we are not limited by the state, and this time we will kill them completely. ”

Immediately after eating, everyone began to meditate and recuperate, and for the students of the inner court, this kind of task was already commonplace. In the outer courtyard, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou and Jiang Nannan are older. Acceptance is also quicker. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are only twelve years old. This kind of task is indeed a little early for them. In a sense, they're just kids.

But this matter was decided by Xuan Lao, and no one present could change it. Wang Yan knew very well that Xuan Lao did not do this to let Huo Yuhao and them directly participate in the killing, but to let them see the scene of the entire mission. Accelerate the growth of their mental age. No matter how close the assessment and competition of the academy are to actual combat, after all, it is not as good as real combat in this atmosphere, which can sharpen people's hearts more. In fact, the real main attack is still the seven people in the inner courtyard.

Xuan Lao did not enter the barracks, because he was unwilling to get involved with the official, and with his strength and status, he could represent Shrek Academy. But he will never lose the traces of these students. That's why he was sure to bring these young people into the war.

After three hours of meditation, the tiredness of the crowd was swept away. It was past noon, after the lunch that Dureth had prepared. Dureth handed over all the information gathered by the Central Army to them.

According to intelligence, the main area of activity of the Death Hand bandits is in the middle of the Mingdou Mountains, and they will only descend the mountain as fast as possible when they have a specific target. The entire bandit group numbered about three hundred. All of them are young adults. Among them, soul masters account for about one-tenth of the number. There is no accurate information on who the leader of the bandit group is. It's just that I know that it is a soul master who has cultivated to at least the level of a soul king or above, and there is no way to know the ability.

The reason why there is so little information is because the hand of death never leaves a living mouth where it passes. The methods are extremely cruel.

The latest information came from about half a month ago, when they plundered a group of merchants and then escaped into the interior of the Ming Dou Mountain Range. Intelligence has an approximate direction of its departure.

That's all the information the military can provide, because it is possible to enter the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire to fight, so the Western Army Group cannot give manpower help, and even the flying soul guides they borrowed cannot be carried into the mountains.

Time was pressing, and they had to participate in the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, and after confirming the information and getting the map, everyone immediately set off. First, he used the flying soul guide to fly to the entrance to the mountain as shown in the intelligence under the guidance of the white tiger's personal guard, and then unloaded the flying soul guide and entered the Mingdou Mountain Range with the map provided by the military.

"Maintain the formation, I am in front with Dai Keyheng and Chen Zifeng, ten meters apart, and the control system and auxiliary system are behind. Huo Yuhao, you come here, you follow me, keep your spirit detected. Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, the two of you are broken. Let's go!"

It was the captain Ma Xiaotao who gave the order, Huo Yuhao was very depressed and was requisitioned, so he had to follow Ma Xiaotao to release the spirit detection and sharing.

His versatile skill once again showed great effect, in the complex terrain of the mountains and forests, the three-dimensional image with mental detection is of great benefit to the progress of everyone. Although Huo Yuhao could only extend a few dozen meters forward when detecting in all directions, the distance of these tens of meters was enough for everyone to judge.

The three of them opened the way in front of them, and they traveled very fast. Chen Zifeng's Soul Chasing Sword had the most obvious effect at this time, with a sword in front, all the thorns were quickly cut open. Coupled with the strong strength of Dai Keyheng and Ma Xiaotao, a passage can be easily opened. When it was dark, they had already penetrated deep into the Mingdou Mountain Range.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Yan reminded Ma Xiaotao: "Let's take a break and eat something first." ”

Ma Xiaotao nodded, "Everyone rests in place, and no fire is allowed, so as not to startle the grass and snakes." I'm afraid we're going to have to search overnight tonight. ”

The students sat around to rest, but Teacher Wang Yan quietly left alone, and Ma Xiaotao didn't care much about his departure. She said to Dai Keyheng beside her: "Dai Keyheng, your father is very handsome." ”

Dai Keyheng said indifferently: "When my father was young, he was the first son of our Star Luo Empire. Not because of his looks, but because of his talents. My father never entered our Shrek Academy to study, and he followed his grandfather to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. Starting from an ordinary soldier, he accumulated military merits and was promoted to team commander, captain, squadron leader, brigade leader, battalion commander, and division commander, until he was promoted to corps commander, he was only twenty-three years old. At that time, no one knew where he came from. After a great war, his father was highly meritorious and was transferred back to the imperial capital to serve, and when he accepted Bixia's reward, he was recognized by Emperor Bixia because his appearance was too similar to his grandfather. Bixia was greatly surprised and gave his father the Central Army of the Western Army. And said in front of all the ministers that with Dai Hao here, the empire will be worry-free for a hundred years. ”

Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up and said, "So, your father is still a hero?"

There was a hint of pride in Dai Keyheng's eyes, "Grandfather said that my father's talent was even comparable to that of the ancestor of the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters. My father is forty-three years old this year, and in the past 30 years of commanding the army, there have been more than a thousand battles of all sizes? You also know the strength of the Sun and Moon Empire, but the western frontier of my Star Luo Empire has always been impregnable, and it is because of my father sitting here. If there is only one person in my Star Luo Empire who can be a hero, then it must be my father!"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes suddenly became brighter, "Then how many wives does your father have?"

Dai Keyheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became a little strange, "It's only my mother." In our generation, there are only two brothers, me and Hua Bin. The father is very self-disciplined when it comes to women. He often said that if a man cannot control his desire for women, then he will not achieve much. Why do you ask this?"

Ma Xiaotao glanced at him and said, "Can't you admire? A man like your father is a real man." You have to study hard. ”

Dai Keyheng's eyes flashed, "After completing this task, I will complete all thirty monitoring tasks." When I graduate from the academy, I will join the army. But I'm not going to stay in Army Group West, I'm going to the north, although there's less fighting there. But I'm going to follow the same path as my father, and I'm going to make a difference in my own abilities. ”――

The climax is coming! Ask for a commuter pass or a recommended ticket. There's something interesting to announce tonight, and everyone can participate if they're interested.
