Chapter 215: Joining the War
Only a very large number of demon beasts can form a beast tide, and if more than half of the demon beasts that form a beast tide are second-order demon beasts, it is a second-order beast tide.
Every time the second-level beast tide appears, it will bring serious casualties to the Northern Legion.
"Since the shopkeeper has been discharged from the army, it stands to reason that he should spend his days in the county town, why should he risk his life?" Ling Hao asked.
"Little brother, you don't understand. Shopkeeper Han looked at the already chaotic street outside, and said in a deep voice, "Even if I am discharged from the army, my roots are in the Northern Legion!"
"As long as Han Hu lives, he will still be a soldier of the Northern Legion! Now, my brothers are fighting against the beast tide, and I will help them!"
Ling Hao smiled faintly, and then picked up the panda that was still munching on the roast chicken, and said, "If the shopkeeper doesn't dislike it, I want to go with you to have a look." I'm a military pharmacist, so I should be able to help. ”
Shopkeeper Han was stunned for a moment, then patted Ling Hao's shoulder vigorously, and laughed: "Good man!"
Not to mention anything else, this kind of courage alone is enough to make Shopkeeper Han admire.
Going out and coming to the street, Ling Hao swept his eyes and saw that there were many cultivators on this street who were not young and armed with weapons, knowing that they were all veterans who had retired from the Northern Legion just like Shopkeeper Han.
Many of them have disabilities, but their eyes are very determined.
"Old Han, why don't you open a store well, why do you come out with a knife?"
"What are you talking about? I wish you all the best of luck, your legs are gone, and you're still jumping up to the city? Don't be able to cut down the demon beast, and drop the only good leg left. ”
"Hahahaha, shit, clean fucking mouth full of feces. ”
"Lao Liu is also here, keep up!"
......
Soon, the veterans who appeared on the long street gathered into a team of dozens of people, and after simply forming a phalanx, they drove towards the north gate of Beiqi County.
The same phalanx, in other parts of Beiqi County, also slowly converged, and also rushed towards the north gate.
Du Kang, the deputy commander of the Northern Legion who was responsible for mobilizing troops under the city wall, was scolding the street at the moment:
"What should I do when I get back to Lao Tzu! When will the hellish Northern Territory Legion be defeated and need you old people to come out and fight to death?
The veterans didn't buy it at all, and scolded one by one with the same red faces:
"Du Dakeng, get out of your mother's legs!"
"His Lao Tzu has been discharged from the army, and you still dare to scold Lao Tzu?!
"When you enlisted in the army, Lao Tzu taught you how to make a knife by hand, are you a good man now?
"Kill your shit!"
......
Although Du Kang is in a high position, the veterans in front of him who came from all over the city can take out any of them, and they are all older than him, and some of them used to be his bosses. So, his orders were useless at all.
The tumultuous scene was soon silenced by a muffled question:
"What's going on?"
The man's voice was not loud, but he just asked a word, and the scene of chaos was instantly quiet.
Not far away, a tall and thin old man in armor walked slowly. Although he looks ordinary, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and people dare not look at him.
Ling Hao saw that the veterans around him looked at that person, their expressions were full of respect, and he instantly knew the identity of this person.
The Northern Commander of the Great Chu Dynasty, the commander of the Northern Army, Zhao Hongju!
Deputy Commander Du Kang hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice: "Marshal, the veterans have to participate in the war, they don't listen to any persuasion, and they can't scold or leave." ”
Zhao Hongju looked at the veterans' eyes full of expectation, and there was a touch of warmth in the eyes as sharp as eagles.
"Organize these people present into temporary brigades, interspersed and assigned to various city defense points, and guide those young people. Zhao Hongju looked around at everyone, "But put the ugly words ahead, if you pass this battle, those recruits you guide don't know how to fight, and you will give it to me in the future."
As soon as the veterans heard this, they immediately began to form themselves happily, and rushed to the various cities with a tacit understanding.
After the veterans left, Zhao Hongju saw that Ling Hao was still standing in place with the panda on his back, and said, "Find a quiet place to hide, you have already reached the Yuanlun realm at such an age, don't die in the beast tide." ”
"The junior is a military pharmacist and can help. Ling Hao said with a smile.
"Military Pharmacist?"
Zhao Hongju had a different color in his eyes, glanced at the panda again, and asked, "Are you called Ling Hao?"
"It seems that Senior Chu has already mentioned my matter to you. Ling Hao said.
"Not all pharmacists who have been in the army for a few days can be regarded as military pharmacists. Zhao Hongju said, "Xuan Ying praised you in the letter, mostly because you saved him with Pure Stone. ”
Seeing that Zhao Hongju was very distrustful of his ability, Ling Hao just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
"However, it is rare for you to have this heart, and I am not good at dampening your enthusiasm. Zhao Hongju pointed to the city gatehouse, "Go there, find a person named Shang Qian, and let him assign you a task." ”
After speaking, Zhao Hongju walked into the distance.
Ling Hao didn't take Zhao Hongju's suspicion and contempt for him to heart. People in the military have this problem, and if you don't really show strength in front of them that can make them respect, they won't even give you a smile.
After that, Ling Hao climbed the city gate tower and found the third-level pharmacist named Shang Qian.
This is a middle-aged man who is very thin and tired between his eyebrows. When Ling Hao saw him, he had just sewn a sergeant's thigh, and the medicine man's robe on his body was covered in blood.
Knowing that Ling Hao was the pharmacist who had come to help, Shang Qian glanced at the two leaf lines on Ling Hao's chest, and said a few kind words such as "Welcome to the Northern Legion" formulaically, and then arranged a task for Ling Hao.
After arriving at the city wall he was responsible for, Ling Hao put the panda aside, and quickly became familiar with the situation with the officer in charge of that place.
After that, like the rest of the cultivators, he quietly looked at the horizon north of the city walls.
Several cultivators who were in charge of inquiring about the situation had already returned, reporting that a second-level beast tide had formed and was rapidly rushing towards this area.
Next, don't think about it, it's all a tough battle.
At the top of the long city wall, both recruits and veterans quietly watched into the distance and clenched their weapons in their hands.
The tense atmosphere made the air a little condensed.
The only thing that isn't nervous is the panda.
After overcoming the height of the wall, the fellow began to wander about gracefully, for his lovely appearance was so deceptive that the sergeants could not bear to blow it down.
Gradually, the earth began to shake.
The northern horizon first darkened and then was obscured by dust.
In the sky, dense black dots also appeared.
The beast tide is coming!
