A "roast chicken" night talk is not without results.
Ling Yao had no intention of providing special conveniences to Heng Nan, but what he said to Ling Linhan was from the bottom of his heart - at least under the current situation, it must be the best win-win strategy he could think of.
And Ling Linhan naturally understands this.
Although he still does not have a deep understanding of the so-called "choices that superiors have to make" proposed by Ling Yao, he will never change his original intention of insisting on absolute fairness and justice until the moment when he has to make a choice. But this does not prevent him from making some concessions within principles——
Several unknown soldiers were pushed out and took full responsibility for plotting against friendly forces.
Of course, they are not pure "scapegoats", but minions of the mastermind behind the scenes. Although they may not deserve the current level of punishment, they are definitely not innocent.
Just as Ling Yao expected. With these people taking the blame, the abnormal casualty rate caused some controversy, but due to Hengnan's "timely handling", it was quickly resolved.
Although the main family did not take advantage of this matter, which made many people on the main family's side "sigh", for Ling Yao, the current situation was in line with expectations.
He had no intention of breaking up with Heng Nan at this juncture. This will not be of any benefit to the subsequent resistance to the demons.
Since this battle still needs to be fought, nothing is more important than military morale.
And unlike some people's thoughts or speculations, Ling Yao went to the front line this time not to regain command or simply to embarrass Heng Nan.
He just came to the battlefield on behalf of the main family to brush his face and speed up the progress of the battle.
After all, if the main family behaves too sluggishly or indifferently on this battlefield against the demons, it will be detrimental to the unity within the Ling family. And because the demon tribe has seriously invaded the Ling family's territory, the current resistance is also borne by the troops sent by the Wolong Kingdom and the Ling family themselves. It will not be good for the Ling family if the war drags on for a long time - at least until the battle line is pushed out of the Ling family.
As for the struggle for power and profit... although Heng Nan and the group of people were really not very good in his opinion; but the group of guys in the master's family who couldn't support the wall were disgusting after seeing them too much.
If Ling Weiran hadn't really taken good care of him and left a sense of friendship with him, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to just pat his butt and help Ling Linhan.
Of course, these assumptions are false. Unless Ling Weiran and a certain kid can put aside their past grudges and considerations of their own interests and work together for the sake of the Ling family's great cause, Ling Yao might as well dream more realistically.
After all, there is everything in dreams. (except girlfriend)
Regardless of the previous results, the subsequent distribution of battle lines went relatively smoothly.
No matter what decision the superior makes, it is impossible to get everyone’s understanding and approval. But at least compared to arguing and arguing with no result, "Dividing Hengnan and choosing the owner" is the best plan that everyone can come up with.
As for the sporadic objections... They are already big bosses in the Puxiang realm. They can't even control the next few trash fish. They might as well go home and farm.
"Sir! The reconnaissance team reported back that the situation seems not to be right! The number of demons is much larger than expected! And their types seem to be different from those encountered before!"
...Although Ling Yao wished he could return to Jianmen to farm.
There were too many noise sources on the battlefield, and he had to clear his throat so that his voice could reach other people's ears through the noise:
"Inform the captains of each team to shrink the formation and control the range within 500 meters to reduce casualties!
"The second reconnaissance team set off, and the first team of cover continued to explore the enemy situation ahead, focusing on recording the terrain conditions and looking for high spiritual power fluctuation points. Keep the news back in time, and evacuate urgently when necessary!
"By the way. In the situation we just investigated, what is the difference between the demons and the previous ones?"
Xu Tingxin, who hurriedly handed down instructions for Ling Yao, quickly turned around and responded to Ling Yao's question:
"Their actions this time... seem to be organized!"
Ling Yao frowned.
Being organized…that’s not good news.
The previous demons caused them trouble mainly due to their powerful lethality and demonic erosion - this was purely based on their numerical advantage.
As long as the human side understands the opponent's movement patterns and annihilates the enemy tactically, it is not difficult to draw a tie with the opponent.
Now that the opponent has become "smarter", things start to get a little complicated.
What's more, the reason for becoming "smarter" is definitely not that the low-level demons suddenly became enlightened, but more likely that a higher-level demon leader appeared among the enemies.
It's troublesome...
However, some people's focus is obviously on the issue of accountability rather than response measures.
"Sure enough, those people in Hengnan don't have good intentions! They are deliberately using dangerous places to trick us! I have told you before that the distribution plan of outsiders is not trustworthy at all! You young boys just don't listen! What should we do now? !How many people will die!"
Ling Yao glanced at the middle-aged bearded uncle following him - Uncle Ling Yueran - from the corner of his eye, and made no comment on the other person's words.
Only with Dongxu Huojie's strength and ability to act as a hindsight, he still dared to point fingers in front of him... He was truly worthy of the "master" who was raised in a superior atmosphere by his master.
If he wasn't afraid of those pedantic and fame-oriented old men who had to be shameless to record his achievements in resisting the demons, otherwise they would cause trouble, Ling Yao would never put such an ungrateful guy in his care. in the team.
People like Heng Nan cannot be trusted... Isn't this inevitable? Do you still need him to teach people a lesson?
And even if he, Ling Yao, is really stupid and doesn't even have this bit of foresight, is it too late for this old man to jump in and act with the benefit of hindsight?
In fact, he understands Heng Nan's attitude better than anyone else. Although he had talked with Ling Linhan, he had never expected that such a distribution plan would be truly impartial and absolutely fair.
After all, Ling Linhan and his gang were local gangsters in Hengnan. When planning, they buried several dangerous situations that were difficult for "outsiders" to detect in both plans, without giving Ling Yao any hints.
If something really happened, with the current command mode, it would be hard for Ling Yao to turn around and accuse Heng Nan of cheating him - after all, this choice was his own.
Even if Hengnan has the obligation to inform his master of the action patterns and deployment methods of the demon army, he can still use temporary changes and lack of knowledge to excuse it.
This may not be what Ling Linhan wants others to do. But even if he knew it, he might not know it clearly.
The same goes for Ling Yao. Everyone is a little selfish, right?
However, as of today, Ling Yao has never been tricked by such small tricks.
In fact, he has led the team to save the day from danger several times, and even used the special terrain, the characteristics of new types of demons, and other places that might have caused heavy casualties to the team to fight back, achieving unexpectedly good results and constantly consolidating his command position. Improve your own prestige.
This not only made those "hidden mines" guys itch with hatred, but also shocked those "masters" who stared at his mistakes and wanted to pull him down.
Hmm... Ling Yao admitted that he was pleased.
It was precisely because of this that his third cousin would exaggerate and escalate the matter to the level of "how many people are going to die" as soon as he catches his "little pigtails" that shakes the morale of the military.
Of course, the fact that he was able to save the day every time was certainly not entirely due to his foresight, sophistication, resourcefulness, erudition, knowledge of both China and the West, handsomeness, grace, and suave... ahem. After all, no matter how awesome he is, he can't stand up to people plotting behind his back every day.
But it can't stop him from having "hang" in his mind?
[Yao Zai Yao Zai, there is a karst landscape ahead. Many demons are nesting in underground caves, so they were not found during the previous investigation. But their boss is not hiding in the cave. Its demonic energy value is very high, but its combat power is not very strong. I am worried that it will be surrounded and suppressed by you in the cave, so I hide in a relatively far place. 】
[In addition, the new species in this wave of monsters are likely to be the "inner demons" that the protagonist has encountered recently. They are monsters with the ability to transform enemies into allies. Be careful, Yao Zai. 】
[Sister Fan, you traitor! 】
[Hey, let’s go as we go, what do children know? Handsome guys are king...]
[Fan Tong'er, I feel like you are exactly the same as me, the sister who spends all day licking the handsome villain while watching the TV... Tsk, this is a world where looks are justice. 】
Ling Yao: ...I haven’t even asked yet, but enthusiastic “netizens” have already rushed out to “tip me off.”
He almost expressed his emotion on the public screen.
[However, if we use the sword cultivator’s close-range attack this time, we will probably suffer heavy losses. 01 Are there any mage, archer or other professions that are good at long range in your team? 】
[Remote is great! Now that the terrain has been revealed, withdraw your own people and give the people below a water-filled golden mountain. After they are all forced out, that is, I love braised, braised, steamed, steamed, sliced sashimi, sliced sashimi...]
[It’s strange, Xiao Xing is obviously the only food blogger among us, why is it that the person who mentions various cooking methods in the topic is either a rice bucket or a big old pigeon...]
[…I am ashamed of myself, but I am far from being as good as I am. 】
【ah! What about the brother who applied for the Olympic Games and the big pigeon? ! Didn't you two avoid 01 before? The villains are all bad guys! 】
[Kid, please don’t talk nonsense. At that time, I just wanted to ask Dove for help and just play with him. No matter how bad-tempered the villain is, he can't follow the network cable. Oh no, come across time and space to hit me...]
[I just said that Shen Ao is obviously a hot-tempered brother, how could he be as cowardly as a certain pigeon just because he said a few words to the villain? His emotions are all staged...]
[Ahhh, bid for the Olympics, you traitor! If the girl I found for you doesn’t taste good, just sell it to me! How can I be the only one who is cowardly? 】
[...Please stop for a moment if you two have any inside information on py trading. There are children watching here...]
[Dad Lao Ge, are you embarrassed to call me a traitor? You have given 01 more experience during this period than even a human being. 】
Ling Yao touched his chin and nodded secretly in his mind.
This is really not a joke. Apart from the girl who has been a fan of him for a long time because of his appearance, the one who revealed the most news to him during this period was this old man who used to say "01 is so scary, am I finished" all day long? .
And compared to Fan Tong'er's "warm reminders" such as "Heng Nan is laying a mine", "Be careful here", "Yao Zai run quickly", "Run, rush, rush", the painting style of a certain pigeon is just...
[Hey, these fools and scheming people like Heng Nan can’t do anything, so why are they leaving so many things to stew on? 01Quick! Arrest the two guards in the granary and subject them to the ten torture methods. Make sure the information and evidence they spit out is shocking! 】
[This is my trick. I concealed so much key information. Is Ling Feiyu planning to wipe out the whole army of the master's family? If this doesn't cheat them, why would you feel sorry for them! Yao Zai, three miles to the southeast, there is Hanhan squatting there to ambush the demons in Hengnan. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind, let's kill them all! 】
【Ehehehe! Yao Zai, there is a chance! The protagonist was tricked by his pig teammates, and now he is fighting the mini-boss alone! How about we sneak over and give him a blow? The grass on the protagonist's grave is three meters high... No! When the book is finished, no one will know it was you! 】
Every time he faced a pigeon's "ingenious tricks", Ling Yao would think: Am I not standing high enough? ? Am I the villain or are you the villain? !
Moreover……
Are you really not going to find out? Damn it, I’m actually a little excited!
If the "good Samaritan" hadn't reminded him that those seemingly good opportunities to kill the protagonist would eventually turn into a big crisis where the villain was burped by the protagonist, maybe he would have taken action!
No, no, no, no... He still has to be a principled person! cough!
But today, the old pigeon didn't give him any "bad ideas". However, in response to the "questioning" of other complainers and Ling Yao's secretly pricked ears, a certain pigeon responded in an incomprehensible tone:
【What do you know. If you can't beat them, join them! Ula! 】
Ling Yao: ...I really don’t understand this. Mental patients have broad ideas and young people are more happy. This is it.
However, this was a quarrel, so Ling Yao decisively used the information he had obtained and issued a new order:
"The shield team moves forward! The melee team evacuates the wounded and repairs on the spot! The five teams of the long-distance attack team pay attention to their moving positions and prepare to flood the cave and force out the enemy troops!"
However, before Ling Yao could finish his words, Ling Yueran's voice behind him exceeded his volume, causing many people to look back:
"Nonsense! It's just nonsense! Use water to force out all the demons hiding underground. With our combat power, it's even more impossible to deal with it! What a great achievement you have made, you are making fun of everyone's lives! You should withdraw them all at this time Camp!”
However, Ling Yao didn't pay him any attention. Instead, he glanced sideways at Xu Tingxin, who was startled by Ling Yueran:
"What? Do you have any objections to my order?"
Xu Tingxin immediately trembled and shouted loudly:
"No! I will pass it down to the team leaders immediately!"
Soon, others also took action under this order, and everything went according to plan.
Of course, those who follow Ling Yao's footsteps are Ling Yao's class - no one takes the yelling Ling Yueran seriously at all.
This kind of direct disregard made Ling Yueran feel even more ashamed and angry than being refuted. Faced with Ling Yao's insistence on going his own way, he no longer held back and began to directly use his status as an "elder" to oppress others:
"Crazy! Simply crazy! How could the patriarch entrust such a big responsibility to someone like you! You are so eager for quick success and regardless of the consequences, sooner or later the Ling family will be destroyed! When I go back, I will definitely punish you for what you did today. Tell the other elders of the master’s family exactly what you have done!”
Seeing that the other people around him finally had some eyes and knew who was in charge here, and that they were executing the task quickly enough, Ling Yao finally returned his attention, glanced at Ling Yueran, and laughed:
"Whatever Uncle Ciao said, whether it's one-fifth-ten, or adding fuel to the fire, I don't really mind."
If Ling Linhan or Fan Shansheng and others saw Ling Yao's smiling expression, I'm afraid they would have started lighting candles for Ling Yueran——
No, before Ling Yueran could say anything, Ling Yao's right hand suddenly moved forward, a cluster of light flashed in the palm of his hand, and a purple light shot out towards Ling Yueran's head!
The Chengying Sword took shape in Ling Yao's hands and swung downwards without any hesitation, making Ling Yueran suddenly pale in shock.
The words of accusation he was about to say were immediately withdrawn as his head shrank, leaving only a string of stuttering "you, you, you".
"But after all, you have to be able to go back before you have the chance to speak, right?"
