Among these people, one of them wore a standard battle armor that was the same as Gu Qingshan's, while the other two wore gray-white battle armor with green patterns.
That was the battle armor of the Yuhang Colonel. Although the Yuhang Colonel was one level lower than the Xiaoqi Colonel, it was still a good military rank.
While there was still time, the four of them hugged each other and greeted each other.
"Li Chuchen, Spiritual Beast Sect."
"Zhang Fang, Xishan Sword Sect."
"Bai Haidong, Yaoguang Sect."
"Gu Qingshan, Hundred Flowers Sect."
After the introduction of the four people, Bai Haidong first looked at Gu Qingshan and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Leng often talks about you to me."
"Are you Leng Tianxing's junior brother? Just in time, we take care of each other." Gu Qingshan also smiled.
These three people are all young, probably in their early twenties. Zhang Fang and Li Chuchen are at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and Bai Haidong is at the later stage of Foundation Establishment.
Gu Qingshan is at the lowest level, but he is also the youngest.
But no one looked down upon him.
The three of them all became foundation-building monks at a young age, and they also accumulated military merits and entered the ranks of officers. If they take any one of them out, they are all the proud ones of heaven.
For Gu Qingshan to become a Knight Commander, he must have real skills and abilities to achieve this step.
Military merit cannot be deceived.
Besides, this is a disciple of Saint Baihua.
The three young talents suddenly thought clearly.
Li Chuchen looked at Gu Qingshan, clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that Jian Shiwu is here."
Everyone smiled softly. Apparently, what happened in this year's exam had spread widely.
Baihua Sect, a young sword cultivator under the sage, has become quite famous recently.
Zhang Fang asked: "Fellow Daoist Gu, I saw you went to the Military Merit Office. Did you gain something again?"
Gu Qingshan looked at him - he was a Knight Rider like Gu Qingshan, one level higher than Bai Haidong and Zhang Fang.
"Yes, I handed in some monster records that I compiled in the forward camp." Gu Qingshan said calmly.
The other three people's expressions changed.
This Sword Fifteen turned out to be from the Forward Battalion.
That was the place where the battle was the most brutal. It would be nice to come back with all the beards and tails intact.
Demons vary greatly and there are countless types.
The characteristics and attack capabilities of demons are also very different. Fighting with them often leads to unexpected situations, which makes the monks suffer greatly.
If the monster records compiled by Gu Qingshan can receive military merit, they must be genuine, otherwise they will never escape the eyes of the great monks of the Military Merit Department.
Zhang Fang said: "Since you know the monster's weaknesses well, you should worry more about us along the way."
This was said cleverly. Gu Qingshan was clearly asked to take command, but it was said as if it was troubling him.
Among the four, he and Gu Qingshan were the only two knight captains.
Since Zhang Fang is willing to give in, the person who takes command must be Gu Qingshan - you can't let two Yuhang Captains command the Xiaoqi Captains.
Leng Tianxing's junior brother Bai Haidong was the first to agree, and Li Chuchen also nodded in agreement.
So such a temporary small group was born.
A law enforcement monk came in and distributed this month's salary to the four people - about 300 low-grade spiritual stones for the Xiaoqi captain and 200 low-grade spiritual stones for the Yuhang captain.
Zhang Fang put the spirit stone into his bag and said: "I don't know when my life will be gone. If you have money, you have to spend it. When we get to the camp, I will treat everyone to a drink."
Gu Qingshan finished putting on his armor and said with a smile: "You've finished your invitation, I'll invite you instead."
Several people were laughing and joking, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.
At this time, a law enforcement monk came in and shouted: "Gu Qingshan, Zhang Fang, Li Chuchen, and Bai Haidong, get ready to go."
"yes!"
The four people looked solemn, and their relaxed expressions suddenly disappeared.
They strode out and came to the general's tent.
A general in golden armor looked at the four of them and said, "They are all in the foundation building stage. There happens to be a position suitable for you."
He ordered: "Let the four of you go to the Gushui Lake camp and set off immediately without any mistakes."
He took out another rune arrow and said: "There is only one ringing arrow, don't use it lightly."
"As you command!"
The four of them hugged each other.
Gu Qingshan caught the ringing arrow and put it in his arms.
After leaving the military camp, the four of them rode their spiritual beasts and soared into the sky.
Half an hour later.
"How long can we fly?" Zhang Fang asked.
Once entering the war zone, the flying target becomes a living target for demons. Unless they are powerful monks, no one dares to fly in the sky easily.
Gu Qingshan scanned the map and said: "When we enter the war zone in a hundred miles, we have to land and rush there."
"Okay." Several people nodded, knowing what was going on.
Everyone was silent, and their faces gradually turned cold.
It's time to enter the battlefield.
After a while, Gu Qingshan waved his hand: "Land."
Several people fell down together.
Ahead were valleys and dense forests, which were faint and green, but not a single chirping of birds or insects was heard.
It was as if the entire valley had lost all life.
Bai Haidong reached out and grabbed a handful of wind, put it under his nose and smelled it.
"In the past three days, there has been no death here," he said.
This seemed to be his chosen magical power, but the other three didn't bother to ask.
There is no death energy, just no high-intensity battle.
A few people relaxed slightly.
Gu Qingshan said: "Let's get to know each other first so we can divide the work."
"That's right. I am a Five Elements cultivator, the second level of Shuiling." Bai Haidong said.
"Although my sect is a sword sect, I am good at using guns." Zhang Fang said.
"I am a spirit beast master. I have several kinds of detection spirit beasts. Besides, my martial arts skills are also so-so." Li Chuchen said.
Gu Qingshan nodded and said: "I am a sword cultivator."
He quickly arranged: "I will be the forward, and Zhang will be at the rear. Brother Chuchen will put some small spiritual beasts on the left and right to explore the situation. By the way, there will also be one behind me. Bai Haidong will be in the middle to take care of all directions."
The three of them listened and said in unison: "Okay."
This arrangement couldn't be better.
Li Chuchen was also relieved.
He was really afraid of meeting an ignorant superior officer, so he ordered his spirit beast to explore the way ahead.
Combat spirit beasts are not suitable for exploring paths, and reconnaissance spirit beasts cannot be at the forefront.
Because I encountered a ferocious monster, the monster grabbed it and ate it, but it was of no use at all.
It is difficult to cultivate a spirit beast. If it dies all of a sudden, the spirit beast master will feel very sad.
It is best for the spirit beast to occupy the second position, which can be in front or behind, or can be changed at any time according to changes in circumstances.
It is only right to wait until the real battle begins before sending the corresponding type of spiritual beasts to fight.
Gu Qingshan took the Earth Sword, held it in his hand, and took the lead into the dense forest.
Seeing that he looked calm and acted without hesitation, the other three people were slightly relieved and followed him in.
Two hours later.
The four of them rested on the spot.
"According to our speed, we will arrive at the Gushui Lake camp at noon tomorrow." Gu Qingshan said.
"It's up to you to take care of things along the way. I'll just do my best." Zhang Fang said, holding his shoulders.
Li Chuchen and Bai Haidong also nodded.
During this section of the journey, Gu Qingshan showed very expert frontline experience in both marching and reconnaissance. Several of them were also from battlefield fighting backgrounds. They watched all the way, and it was not until this moment that they fully recognized each other.
"Okay, I will make the arrangements later." Gu Qingshan said calmly without deliberately giving in.
He was a strategic commander in his previous life, and his experience in fighting monsters was as good as anyone else's. Now, this is just his old job.
The four of them ate their dry food, got up and continued on their way.
An hour later, we finally passed through the dense forest and entered the open wilderness.
"Stop!" Gu Qingshan stopped suddenly.
He squinted and looked around.
Faintly, it seems that an extremely weak amount of spiritual energy can be sensed escaping.
Did a battle break out in the wilderness?
The three people behind him stopped when they heard his shout.
"What's wrong?" Li Chuchen put his hand on the spirit beast bag and asked quietly.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, take another look." Gu Qingshan said solemnly.
When Bai Haidong heard this, he stretched out his hand to catch the wind, put it in front of his nose and inhaled hard.
"The smell of death is not strong, the smell of blood is strong, and the stench of demons is the most intense - in that direction."
He pointed deep into the field.
