A night of silence.
The second day.
early morning.
A red-necked white crane soared into the sky from the Baihua Palace and flew into the distance.
The white crane is extremely fast. Whenever it flaps its wings vigorously, there will be looming fire clouds surrounding it.
A knowledgeable monk can understand at a glance that this is the fastest flying mount, the Fire Cloud Crane.
This kind of crane has no strong combat power or defensive power. Its only advantage is speed.
Although monks can fly on their own, if they are to engage in long-term battles, they must have mounts.
The flying boat consumes spiritual stones, but the spiritual beast even saves the spiritual stones, so just give it a few low-grade Bigu Pills.
If a monk flies by himself, spiritual energy will be consumed.
In a cruel war, every ounce of spiritual power may determine life or death.
Therefore, the best thing to use is the spiritual beast mount. The monk does not need to consume his spiritual power and physical strength, and can even adjust his breath and meditate to enter a state of practice.
Gu Qingshan sat on the back of the white crane and looked up.
After leaving the Hundred Flowers Fairy Kingdom, we passed through the Yueshan Ling Sect, Liuyun Sect, and Xishan Sword Sect. The road became increasingly desolate.
There were cities, farmlands, and villages along the way, but as the white crane flew, these gradually disappeared.
Instead, there were vast expanses of desolate wilderness.
Even some scattered villages are no longer inhabited.
Everyone, whether ordinary people or practitioners, were urged to move inland.
This is close to the front line.
Formation monks in twos and threes were scattered around, making various formation arrangements.
This is the buffer zone of the front line. Once a defeat occurs, the array deployed here will bear the responsibility of defense and counterattack.
Gu Qingshan flew for about an hour before he saw the military camp.
It is said to be a military camp, but the area of the camp is almost the same as that of a medium-sized city. There is a defensive array barrier dozens of meters high outside the camp, and patrolling monks flying with spiritual beasts fly over from time to time.
This is simply a war fortress.
"Let's go down," he said.
"Okay." Huo Yun said to Sky Crane.
The fire cloud fell down and stopped in the open space in front of the military camp.
Gu Qingshan took out a pill and fed it to Bai He, saying: "Thank you for your hard work, you should rest first."
The fire cloud rushed into the sky and the crane took the elixir and entered the spirit beast bag.
Gu Qingshan strode to the entrance of the military camp.
"Who is coming?" Two monks at the door asked.
"Qingqi Colonel Gu Qingshan, here to report." Gu Qingshan said and threw his badge.
A monk took the waist card, and with a push of spiritual power, the waist card suddenly lit up.
A flash of light rose into the sky, and the characters "Gu Qingshan, the Commander of the Valiant Cavalry" appeared.
The monk sensed it for a while and found that there was a slight connection between the waist card and the young man in front of him, and then nodded.
He threw his belt back to Gu Qingshan: "Go in."
Gu Qingshan said: "Thank you very much."
There was a busy and lively scene in the military camp.
"Who is going to prepare the elixirs from Camp Jiazi?"
"Where is the formation disk? Has the vanguard camp mage's formation disk been repaired? He will be rushing into the formation tomorrow, why haven't you sent it to him yet?"
"Who can record it for me? The two positions in the west have fallen. I have to go and save them myself."
Several powerful monks shouted and shouted, and the auxiliary monks around them were too busy to touch the ground.
Gu Qingshan lined up, walked to a table, and put his waist card on it.
The monk grabbed the belt, branded a spiritual pattern on it, and said: "Next one."
Gu Qingshan quickly took the badge and was led to another room.
He looked at the sign at the door and saw three words written on it: Arms Department.
As soon as he entered, his waist badge was taken away by a monk.
The monk released his spiritual thoughts and turned around on his waist badge.
"A brave cavalry captain came just in time."
He said, turned around and went to the warehouse to get a set of armor.
"Check it, if it's okay, take your fingerprint."
"Ah, okay, thank you."
Gu Qingshan took the armor to the table aside and spread it out.
This is a set of dark black armor with red lines. The red lines on it are very small and engraved in inconspicuous places. They are the spiritual power rune array of the armor.
Breastplate, shoulder armor, helmet, arm guards, gauntlets, belt, knee pads, and combat boots are all brand new and of high quality.
Every piece of this set of armor is a spiritual weapon-level piece of equipment.
The levels of forged equipment, from low to high, are divided into Lee, Treasure, Spirit, Law, and Dao.
The spiritual weapon is in the middle, which is pretty good, and it’s such a complete set of armor.
With this set of armor, you can fight more confidently on the battlefield without having to worry about sneak attacks from special demons such as the Heart-Snatching Imp, who are good at assassination.
Ning Yuechan's golden armor was a general-level high-level armor.
Wearing that suit of armor, if you stand and let ordinary monsters hit you, even the monsters won't be able to penetrate you.
That set of armor can be regarded as a top-grade magic weapon. The resources and time required to create it are staggering and extremely precious.
After Gu Qingshan carefully inspected it, he went to press his fingerprints.
The monk was quite happy when he saw that he had no ink marks on him and that he finished the inspection so quickly and even pressed his fingerprints directly.
The monk said: "Very good, now I will choose a weapon for you."
He looked through the catalog and said thoughtfully: "Let me see, the level of the Xiaoqi Lieutenant, um, there are two weapons to choose from - what weapon do you use?"
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and said: "I use my own weapons, but can you exchange them for some more Demon-Breaking Arrows?"
"You don't want either weapon, just the Demon Breaking Arrow?"
"right."
The monk looked at him seriously and said: "According to the rank of the Knight Commander, you can receive one magic-breaking arrow, but if you give up receiving the weapon, I can make the decision and give you five."
"Okay." Gu Qingshan said happily.
The monk walked into the depths of the warehouse. After a while, he came back carrying five arrows with great difficulty.
Boom!
The arrow lay on the table with a dull thud.
The monk took a breath and said, "This thing is really heavy. Okay, let's check it out."
Gu Qingshan took one and looked at it carefully against the light.
This demon-breaking arrow was glowing with black light. From the tip of the arrow to the feathers, it was engraved with tiny runes and complicated runes. The entire arrow was covered with runes, and there was not even a single free space.
Demon-breaking arrows are made of meteorite iron. They are very powerful, but are rare in quantity. They are generally only used in key battles and are rarely distributed to soldiers on weekdays.
This is life-saving equipment and there must be no problems, so Gu Qingshan looked at it very carefully.
After inspecting all five arrows, he cupped his fists at the opponent and said, "No problem, thank you."
"Here, press another fingerprint on the weapon collection record."
"OK."
After Gu Qingshan received the things and came out again, he was taken to a room by the law enforcement monks.
There are dozens of monks here, all sitting cross-legged silently, waiting for military orders.
The law enforcement monk led Gu Qingshan to the three monks and said to them: "Now that you are all here, you can start preparing. When I call you later, you will set off together."
After saying that, the law enforcement monk was about to leave.
The other three monks took the time to check their belongings one by one to see if there was anything missing.
Gu Qingshan took the law enforcement monk and asked for the location before going to the Military Merit Office.
After a while, he came back with a smile.
Several powerful monks from the Military Merit Department had been informed by Dingyuan General Gongsun Zhi early and had been waiting for his arrival this morning.
After Gu Qingshan's demon map was handed over, several powerful monks looked at it together and praised it repeatedly.
This is definitely good stuff and will have an important impact on frontline battles.
Gu Qingshan immediately received a hundred military merits.
From "valiant cavalry" to "zhenwei", one hundred and eighty military merits are required, and this time the military merits are already over half.
In this way, the pressure caused by the destiny mission was slightly relieved.
When Gu Qingshan came back, the other three people had already put on their armors.
