Being able to be received and praised by the supreme commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, and promised military exploits, everyone in the southbound advance team felt that their trip was worthwhile.
Sima Yang Jingjie of the Western Wasteland Army, who was nearly fifty years old, still looked dark and thin. Seeing everyone's smiles, he also smiled and inserted a message:
"Comrades, I am Yang Jingjie, the former Sima of the Western Wasteland Army. I served as General Wang's adjutant during the Western Expedition.
General Wang and I have discussed that the organizational designations of your advance teams in the north and south directions will not be revoked for the time being. During the Western Expedition, they will be requisitioned by the direct headquarters. "
Li Kongqing, Li Lingyou and others looked at Wei Ling subconsciously.
Welling had predicted this result a long time ago.
"As you command!"
Everyone readily agreed.
Wang Jueming smiled and nodded, then turned to Wei Ling:
"Brother Wei Ling, you have contributed a lot along the way.
Although you are not an active warlock now and still belong to Lord Yujin's militia group, during the Battle of Iasi, you made very eye-catching predictions and results in the staff department. Therefore, I will report to Lord Qinghui. Yes, you will be subject to special wartime requisition.
During the Western Expedition, please join our headquarters and serve as military staff. Do you have any objections? "
Wang Jueming's expression was full of expectation.
Although this young man has lost his memory of the past, his talent is simply incredible.
Even now, I can still recall the scene that day when I and the county guard and others were inspecting and verifying his identity.
And when he showed his talent as a warlock, the unusual attention paid to him by the county magistrate Qinghui naturally attracted Wang Jueming's attention.
He and Yang Jingjie had privately examined and analyzed a series of situations in Wei Ling's situation, and were very optimistic about Wei Ling's prediction ability, decision-making ability, and future prospects.
After all, in such a huge empire, there are not many intelligent warlocks.
Wei Ling smiled and bowed:
"What a blessing, boy! How dare you disobey the master!"
"Haha, that's great!"
General Wang laughed and nodded.
Regarding this result, although Wei Ling did not analyze it with Li Lingyou, Li Kongqing and others, it was still within his prediction.
Master Qingfu's regard for him is obvious to all the senior officials in Yaxi.
General Wang, the new commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, will not even disband the advance team originally sent by the general, let alone half of Lord Qinghui's students in Yaxi County. He will only reuse them.
What's more important is that his abilities are there, and all the submitted data are well-documented. General Wang's recruitment of himself as the military staff officer of the army can be regarded as a meritocracy, and no one else can comment on it.
Li Kongqing, Li Lingyou and other members of the advance team breathed a sigh of relief.
They all knew that Welling was not a warlock in service, but just a captain of a militia group. It was normal for the regular army to look down on the militia.
Therefore, they were afraid that the Western Expeditionary Army would not recognize Wei Ling's efforts and achievements. Such a result would make them feel very embarrassed.
When it comes to the contribution of the advance team, no one can surpass Welling.
At present, General Wang not only recognized Wei Ling's military merits, but also characterized him as a staff officer accompanying the army. This result made them feel encouraged, but also a little reluctant.
Who would give up a wise warlock who brings safety and merit to the team?
After a short handover and subsequent definition of responsibilities, Li Kongqing led the members of the advance team to continue stationed next to "Kunpeng", and conducted further docking and material replenishment with relevant persons in charge.
The two injured warlocks were also examined by more professional doctors accompanying the Western Expeditionary Army, who concluded that the wounds were healing normally and would soon return to combat effectiveness.
This huge "Kunpeng" vehicle is the command flagship of the Western Expeditionary Army. The interior space is extremely spacious. There are only a small amount of military supplies on the upper, middle and lower floors. It is mainly used as the residence and intelligence room for all command and staff personnel. , war room, etc.
Yang Sima also equipped Wei Ling and Shou Gong with two small rooms on the middle floor as residences during their stay with the army.
Although it is not big, it is much more comfortable than sleeping outdoors in the dining room of the advance team or in the small "coffin"-like bunk on the vehicle.
Wei Ling was also present. He exchanged greetings with the three staff officers who had met him during the Battle of Iasi, shared some of the information he had so far, and promptly entered the role of accompanying the army staff.
To guard the palace, you don't need to worry about anything. You just need to follow the young master. Ensuring his safety is more important than anything else.
The benefits of connecting with the system barrier were immediately revealed.
Just after he had some free time, Wei Ling received messages from the three children and Wantong:
"Brother, please pay attention to safety outside. We are all fine. Nanxing and Jinu have clearly felt the edge of the magic. They will soon become one of the youngest warlocks in the empire."
"Brother, I am a slave. You have to protect yourself and say hello to Sister Gonggong for me!"
"Brother, I am Shanglu, am I stupid? Nanxing and Jinnu's spells feel like they are ahead of me, woo woo..."
"Captain, I am Wantong. You and Gonggong must pay attention to safety. Don't worry about Nanxing and the others. The militia group basically has nothing to do now, just some small things to maintain law and order.
Brother Jiangli was slightly injured in the final magic attack and was not selected to join the Western Expeditionary Army, but his body was already recovering.
As soon as I have free time, I will go to your courtyard and stay with Nan Xing and the others. "
"Brother, I am Nanxing. I forgot to mention it in the last message. Yaxi County is going to build a square and monument in the northwest outside the city to commemorate the martyrs who died in the Battle of Yaxi. It will probably be completed in a few days. By then, Mr. Chuanbai He will take us to pay homage to the fallen soldiers... I'm really looking forward to it, it's been a long time since I went to the ground outside the city..."
The messages from the children and Wantong made Wei Ling feel very good, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a smile on his face.
He replied to each message one by one, reporting that he was safe and comforting Phytophaga not to worry.
He also shared the greetings from Nanxing, the others, and Wantong to the guardian.
The guard also smiled and narrowed his eyes.
When dusk fell, Wei Ling and Shu Gong saw the returning northbound advance team.
The team was led by a top-ranked core disciple of the Wang clan.
This man's name is Wang Guangbai, and he looks somewhat similar to Wang Xixin. He is tall and has an old scar on his forehead that has not been repaired deliberately, adding a bit of toughness.
The Northbound advance team's attrition was a bit severe. There were less than 20 people left in the advance team of about 30 people. The remaining members were obviously injured, and they felt that their energy and energy were relatively low.
I don't know if it's because they already knew the situation of the Southern Team through some channels on their way back. Comparing the two, all the talents felt a little frustrated and unwilling.
Wang Xixin was not injured, and she followed Wang Guangbai, her eyes still the same, a bit sinister.
Just when they were reporting to General Wang Jueming, Wang Xixin accidentally saw Wei Ling staying with a group of staff members.
He was obviously startled and seemed surprised, but he still tried his best to smile and nodded to Welling.
Wei Ling also nodded slightly.
The guard behind Wei Ling was keeping a close eye on the tall young man in black robe behind Wang Xixin.
Is it the Zheng Xiao that the young master guessed? Liulihu intelligent body?
Sure enough, the face is stiff and the facial features are dull!
My body is better, sometimes I forget that it is not flesh and blood.
General Wang and Yang Sima didn't seem to care about the situation of the North Team at all. They still smiled at Wang Guangbai and his party, giving people the feeling of spring breeze:
"Captain Wang, there is no need to worry, just come back. In war, there are no unexpected situations, everything is possible!
The Xixuan Federation is insidious and cunning. You are worthy of praise for gaining information control over the remaining enemies at such a small price..."
The subsequent placement of the North team was the same as that of the Li Kongqing team, impartial and without any difference.
The only difference is that there is no open space around the flagship vehicle, and the place where the northern team is stationed is somewhat remote.
After the North Team accepted the new military order, before bidding farewell and leaving, Wang Guangbai raised his eyes and looked at Wei Ling, perhaps because Wang Xixin had secretly left a message for Wang Guangbai.
His eyes met Welling's.
Wei Ling still smiled and nodded slightly.
There was no smile on Wang Guangbai's tough face, nor did he nod, and turned around to leave.
Wei Ling was not depressed, he just made a judgment and shared it with the guardian:
"Shou Gong, that Wang Guangbai probably connected to the system when he rushed back, and someone had already informed him of the situation of the southern team in advance.
Obviously, he already knows that the reason why the Li Kongqing team has such results is inseparable from us. Comparing the two, he is naturally depressed.
I judged from the small details just now that they have a grudge against us. "
Shou Gong nodded slightly:
"Young master, I understand. We are not afraid. I am just looking for a chance to have a try with that zombie face."
Wei Ling couldn't laugh or cry. Could it be that there is also natural discrimination in class between intelligent entities?
So he gave a brief explanation:
"Well, it's not that you're afraid of them, but that you know the other person's possible thoughts and don't get temporarily confused."
The next step is to wait, waiting for the troops sent by General Wang to clean up the remaining enemies on the entire front line, so that there are no hidden dangers in the rear of the Western Expeditionary Army.
Thanks to the preliminary investigation intelligence of the North and South advance teams and the careful interrogation of the prisoners, the Western Expeditionary Army's methods for clearing out the remnants of the enemy were relatively clear and precise.
Now it seems that Xixuan's back-breaking layout on the entire front line is not too complicated.
The main reason was that the time left for the Xixuan Federation Army was too short. In addition to hastily setting up a few minefields at a few slightly important nodes, the remaining guard soldiers were ordered to hide the supplies that were not taken away in time and use them. The terrain should be used to delay the empire's follow-up troops' counterattack as much as possible.
To put it bluntly, the role of these remaining sergeants is to cause trouble for the imperial army at the right time, but they themselves are destined to be abandoned. This can be judged from the morale of the remaining enemies.
This level of arrangement is relatively low-level from the perspective of the Western Expeditionary Army, which has transparent information and shares information with each other.
Therefore, the Western Expeditionary Army, which had a certain degree of heavy firepower and advanced preparations, completely cleared the entire front line in less than three days.
As for Iasi, corresponding large-scale vehicles and engineering and technical personnel have long been dispatched to transport the gradually collected seized materials back to Iasi.
On the fourth day, the Western Expeditionary Army convened a brief meeting with all middle-level commanders, vehicle captains, and team leaders.
General Wang made a brief pledge of mobilization, conveyed Master Xiao's earnest instructions, packaged various predetermined tactical strategies and threw them to everyone, gave a rough tactical explanation, and ordered the Western Expeditionary Army to continue marching westward.
The overwhelming flying vehicles once again gathered into a black cloud, slowly heading west.
