Chapter 9: Unexpected promotion

Liu Yuntao thought for a while and said: "In five years, from refining tendons to refining the marrow, he is not a genius. Considering Zhou Shi's background, it is rare to have such an achievement. ”

"Exactly. When the general first arrived in Weeping Blood City, the four major families disregarded the king's orders in vain, becoming more and more restless, and the general was at the time of employing people at this time. Zhou Shi was born in the Blood War Legion, and it is always useful for the general to rebuild the Blood War Legion......" Zhang Kai said.

"A late day after tomorrow will not affect the situation in Weeping Blood City. Liu Yuntao shook his head and said, "But what you said also makes sense, Zhou Shi is from the Blood War Legion after all." ”

After a deep groan, Liu Yuntao said again: "Originally, I didn't plan to use Zhou Shi. The Blood War Legion has been wiped out since Mo Yunjie and below, and only he has escaped, which is a great crime in itself! If I hadn't known that he didn't flee in fear, plus he fought bravely before, and had some credit, I would have killed him myself!"

Zhang Kai listened quietly and did not interject, he knew that Liu Yuntao had a strong personality and had been in the army for many years, and what he hated most was fear of war and cowardice. Although Zhou Shi did not belong to this situation, in Liu Yuntao's view, escaping alone was a sin in itself. Fortunately, Zhou Shi had a good reputation before and had no criminal record, which saved Zhou Tianci's life.

Zhang Kai and Zhou Tianci had no friendship, and at the beginning, they still looked at Zhou Tianci unpleasantly. However, after Huang Jue blocked the way, his attitude towards Zhou Tianci changed. He is Liu Yuntao's subordinate, and he feels obliged to collect talents for Liu Yuntao, and after Zhou Tianci showed his cultivation in the later stage of the day after tomorrow, Zhang Kaicai, who learned the news, made a recommendation to Liu Yuntao.

“...... Originally, I planned to send Zhou Shi back and let him do a quick catch, but since you said it, I will give him a chance to return to the rebuilt Blood War Legion. Liu Yuntao said.

"General Mingjian, presumably after Zhou Shi found out, he must be grateful for the general's kindness and die for the general. Zhang Kai said.

"Let's not say how useful this person can be, you continue to make people stare at him. He was the only one in the Bloody Legion who escaped back, and I always felt a little strange. Liu Yuntao said again.

"Yes, General!"

......

"Brother Big Tiger, they're back!" In a village in the wild forest south of Weeping Blood City, a dozen children shouted loudly when they saw the people coming out of the forest.

"The hunting party is back!" the voice rang out, and the men, women, and children of the village gathered.

I saw a thin figure come out of the forest, and judging from the fluff on his face and the beard that was just conspicuous on the side of his mouth, this man was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. However, the momentum around him is quite extraordinary, and the spear in his hand and the bow and arrow on his back all indicate that he is already a qualified warrior.

"Grandpa, we're back. The young man said to the old man at the front of the crowd.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" said the old man, looking behind him, "What about the Thunder Leopard?"

"Uncle, they are behind, I am fast, and I am in charge of reconnaissance, so I will come back first. The young man said.

"Brother Big Tiger, has there been any harvest from this hunt?" a group of children gathered around the young man.

The young man laughed loudly: "Naturally, if you go out for more than half a month, how can you not have a harvest." ”

"And what beasts have you hunted?"

"That's a lot, red spotted tiger, human-faced bear, sword pig...... We almost killed an elephant, but we let it escape......" said the young man regretfully.

"Is it a brute elephant that is two feet high, four or five feet long?" asked one of the children.

"Yes, if we can catch it, this brute elephant alone will be enough for our whole village to eat for half a month. The young man said.

"Ah, that's a shame...... Brother Big Tiger, tell us about this hunt!"

"In the evening, I need to go home first. ”

The young man named Dahu got rid of the children and walked briskly towards the village, and before long he came to a courtyard. The yard is fenced, and a gate more than a meter wide is left on the south side.

"Little sister, I'm back!" the big tiger shouted to the little girl in the courtyard.

The little girl was about seven or eight years old, with a long braid hanging down behind her, and although she was young, she was extremely agile in her movements. At this time, she was tending to the vegetable patch in the yard.

Hearing the voice, the little girl looked up happily: "Brother, you're back!"

"You're back, Xiao Ling, are you okay during this time?" Dahu touched the head of the little girl who ran to him and asked with concern.

"With grandpa taking care of me, I'm fine, what about you, brother, aren't you injured?" asked Xiao Ling.

"No, this hunt went very smoothly......" Dahu talked about the hunting process with great interest, and Xiao Ling exclaimed again and again.

Before evening, all the hunting parties in the village returned, and they brought back a lot of game, which filled the village with laughter. However, the leader of the hunting party, Lei Leopard, had a heavy face.

The village chief Lei Yan is Lei Bao's father, the so-called Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, he saw Lei Bao's expression, and immediately guessed that something bad must have happened. Back at home, Lei Yan immediately asked, "Did something happen?"

For his father, Lei Leopard did not hide it: "During this hunt, I met the hunting teams of Wang and Li villages, and according to them, there was another change in the wild forest. In order to confirm this news, I went 50 miles deeper......"

"What was the result?" asked Lei Yan.

Thunder Leopard's face was solemn: "I found many fierce beasts that have not appeared nearby, and they all have a tendency to migrate outward......

"In other words, the news of the Wang and Li families is true, and we are likely to encounter the beast tide?"

Thunder Leopard nodded.

The beast tide is the biggest threat to a wild village like Leijia Village, when the beast tide occurs, countless fierce beasts will rush out of the wild forest, these fierce beasts are bloodthirsty, and during the beast tide, they will kill people when they see them. A village like Leijia Village can't resist it at all, and it will be wiped out by the beast tide for a moment.

"So, what now?" asked Thunder Leopard.

Lei Yan slowed down for a while and said, "There is only one way now, and that is to retreat to Weeping Blood City." Beast tide, you haven't experienced it, you don't know how terrible it is, it really destroys all living beings, and in the end all that is left is death!"

"It's not so serious, no matter how terrible the beast tide is, can it compare to the iron cavalry of the Golden Wolf Empire?" Lei Leopard retorted, he retired from the army, had participated in several wars against the Golden Wolf Empire, and really came out of the sea of corpses and bones.

Lei Yan glared at his son and accentuated his tone: "The beast tide is not a war, it is much more terrible than a war. I dare to say that even if all the Northwest Legions are transferred, they will not be able to stop the beast tide in the forest! Okay, for the sake of the lives of the whole village, they will immediately move to Weeping Blood City!"

......

Liu Yuntao's actions were very fast, and after deciding to rebuild the Blood War Legion, in just one day, 5,000 people were gathered by him, including Zhou Tianci.

Zhou Tianci received the order on the morning of the next day, and Zhang Kai sent someone to pass the word. Considering his authentic background in the Blood War Legion and his cultivation in the later stages of the day after tomorrow, Zhou Tianci's official position was raised by one level and he became the leader of the New Blood War Legion.

The elite legion generally has a commander, who must be born in cultivation and have an official position of miscellaneous general. There are five captains below the commander, and each captain controls a thousand people, which is equivalent to the thousand commanders of the Golden Wolf Empire, and the cultivation is at least the late day after tomorrow. Below the lieutenant is the captain of the brigade with 200 soldiers, and then the squad leader with 40 soldiers. Taking the opportunity of the reorganization of the Blood War Legion, Zhou Tianci was promoted from squad leader to captain, which seemed to outsiders to be a blessing in disguise.

At noon on the same day, the new Blood War Legion was officially formed, the commander Cao Ming took office, and Zhou Tianci also began to perform the power of his captain. Liu Yuntao's swift movements stunned Crying Blood City, disappointing many people who wanted to see his jokes. Even the four major families who had been paying attention to him did not expect that only two days after the destruction of the Blood War Legion, a new Blood War Legion would be established.

In the early morning, when the sun sprinkled the first rays of light on the earth, the 5,000 soldiers of the newly formed Blood Battle Legion gathered together under the convening of the commander Cao Ming. However, Cao Ming was obviously very dissatisfied with the soldiers under his hands.

"Is this the so-called elite?" the chaotic queue of the new legion made Cao Ming frown.

"This ......," Captain Dong Qicheng of Yingyang said, "General, this is not to blame them, these people are partly drawn from other legions, and partly from the royal capital, and they are not familiar with each other. ”

Cao Ming said: "No matter what the reason is, the performance of these people is not worthy of the battle banner of the Blood War Legion at all! I will give you half a month, no matter what means you use, you must make the new Blood War Legion form combat effectiveness as soon as possible." ”

"Half a month, this, impossible!" said another lieutenant, Zheng Kaiyuan, who shook his head.

"If you can't do it, tell me in advance, and you can do it. Cao Ming said extremely domineeringly, and when Zheng Kaiyuan heard it, his face turned green.

"General, is something happening?" Dong Qicheng asked.

Cao Ming nodded slightly: "There is news from the General's Mansion that there is a very high probability of a beast tide in the Wild Forest, and when the time comes, it is very likely that our legion will enter the Wild Wilderness." ”

"Wild beast tide?" everyone was shocked.
