It is not difficult to find a thousand fourth-level martial arts cultivators from the Cavalry Camp, but it is a bit difficult to find a thousand fourth-level martial arts cultivators from the Arrow Camp and Foot Camp.
On average, there is only one fourth-level martial arts cultivator among the ten ordinary soldiers in the Arrow Camp and the Infantry Camp. It is indeed difficult to gather a thousand soldiers each without being officers. In the end, when the general above deliberately lowered the requirements, the two Each battalion gathered a thousand people, and Lu Yunyou was exceptionally selected because of the recommendation of Brother Gao Li.
When the three battalions had selected enough people, the problem of animal infestation in various places was confirmed. The general above began to divide the manpower directly based on the seriousness of the animal infestation problem. Finally, Lu Yunyou was assigned to a team of 300 people. They were responsible for It is a beast problem faced by the entire city, so after waiting for the corresponding location, the teams will continue to be divided.
Going into battle lightly, seven or eight teams under the banner of the Star Army were responsible for the southeast area. When leaving the military camp, each team acted separately. Some were going far away, some were close, but the purpose was the same.
The reason why beast infestations occur in those places is, firstly, because the troops originally stationed in various cities were transferred away, and secondly, because many martial arts practitioners go to places where ferocious beasts gather for trials and drive the ferocious beasts out of the places where they originally lived. The third reason is that the ferocious beasts reproduce themselves.
In short, there are generally ferocious beasts in places with mountains and water. Since Feng Kingdom, like Star Kingdom, is close to the ferocious forest in the north, there are more ferocious beasts in the area near the north.
However, there are no big cities in the northern part of Feng Kingdom except Lan City. It is difficult to eliminate the problem of animal infestation by relying solely on local forces in those small towns. This has led to an increasing number of places with animal infestation problems.
Lu Yunyou's team is considered to have a medium size among all the teams. The place they want to go is due east of their camp. The border between Fengguo and Dongbianliguo is a border city.
During their mission, they may have to set foot in the border area between the two countries, which is four to five hundred miles long, separated by two cities. Between each city are mountains, water, trees, and people, and those with the Star Kingdom. The situation is somewhat similar. Not all the people of Feng Kingdom are concentrated in the city. There are some villages and towns around the city. There are at least thousands of people in a small town. Usually there are several small towns between two cities.
Among those towns, there are some villages, which generally make a living by hunting and farming. It would be more comfortable if there were no threats from ferocious beasts. However, when Lu Yunyou and the others passed through those villages and towns, it was basically a desolate scene, and people were far away. There are not many houses to talk about, and there are very few young people.
Not a single high-level martial cultivator could be seen. The most powerful in those towns was probably the fifth-level martial cultivator. When they passed by under the banner of the Star Kingdom, the villagers looked at them with hatred and fear. Everyone wishes they were thousands of miles away from them.
Even if they were going to buy things, those people would rather not get money than approach them. Finally, after asking other people, Lu Yunyou found out that the sons and husbands of those old people had died in the war. The war caused all the prime men in these poor places to die in other places. , no bones left.
It was such a desolate scene along the way, and it was only a little more lively near the cities. In order to get to Yancheng as quickly as possible, they could only take the official road between the cities and pass through those cities.
Those cities were no different from the Wuyang City in Lu Yunyou's memory, maybe a little more dilapidated. Due to the problem of animal infestation, refugees who had lost their homes were begging everywhere in the city.
The city was not lively at all, and the depleted population could be seen everywhere. After seeing them, the ordinary people ran away like monsters. The local forces also avoided them when they saw them. They were dressed in military uniforms and gave those people Bringing endless fear, even if there are not many of them.
The general leading the team took Lan Wu's order to post notices in the cities they passed, announcing the Star Kingdom's plan to peacefully take over these places. By the way, he also mentioned the reason why the Star Army was moving back and forth recently. If they do this, they can Hurry out of the city and continue to the next place.
After traveling more than a hundred miles a day, three days later, Lu Yunyou and the others arrived at Yancheng, the eastern border of Feng Kingdom. Yancheng was connected to Liguo to the east, but there was a Yanshan Mountain Range between the two countries. The Yanshan Mountain Range was not big, but there were There are ferocious beasts in the mountains. When the Feng State army was stationed here, once a ferocious beast invaded the territory, the army could deal with it in time. Even if there were high-level ferocious beasts, they had heavy weapons to deal with it.
If they really can't deal with it, the Lord of Yan City will ask for help from their country's leader. At that time, even if the Feng Kingdom's leader does not send troops, he will arrange some high-level martial arts cultivators to deal with difficult problems. All small countries have always dealt with them in this way. To ensure the stability of the territory, there will always be fish that slip through the net, as long as it is not a big problem.
Now that there is no military garrison, ferocious beasts invade the territory in large numbers. Not only Yancheng is affected, but also nearby villages and towns. There are more refugees in Yancheng than in the two cities they passed through before, and the problem is imminent.
"General, it seems that the information is not accurate enough. There are many refugees in Yancheng and the animal problem is extremely serious. Can we alone really be able to deal with it?" After negotiating with the Lord of Yancheng, Deputy General Zheng, who learned about the specific situation, Tuo gathered everyone together to discuss the next issue of eliminating the beast problem.
This time, Lu Yunyou and his group of three hundred people included a general and a deputy general, both of whom were seventh-level martial arts cultivators. There were also more than twenty sixth-level martial arts cultivators, and the rest were all fifth-level martial arts cultivators and fourth-level martial arts cultivators. , with the exception of Lu Yunyou.
"The Lord of Yancheng said that there are more than a dozen beast problems near the city, large and small. No high-level ferocious beasts have been found yet. However, it is not yet known whether his news is accurate, so I decided to send some people to confirm first. situation, and then arrange manpower to deal with it," frowning, the general leading the team, Wen Fu, had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
"The Marshal only gave us ten days, and it will take six days to go back and forth. If the task cannot be completed within four days, and the Lord of Yancheng will inform the Marshal of the news, then we will be derelict in our duty," Zheng Tuo also frowned at them. Lack of confidence in being able to complete tasks.
"It depends on manpower. Once it comes, let's make peace with it." Shaking his head, Wen Fu was not that pessimistic. In his opinion, although there were not many of them, the Lord of Yancheng had promised to arrange people to help. Besides, they did not want to kill all the ferocious beasts. After killing them all, if we can find a way to drive those ferocious beasts back into the mountains, it will be considered as completing the mission.
"Which of you is willing to take the initiative to check the situation? If things are done well, I will give him a credit," Wen Fu, who looked stern and gradually regained his composure, directly used incentives to select people.
"General, my subordinates are willing to go." Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. With Wen Fu's personal consent, the fifth-level martial arts cultivators in the riding camp signed up one after another. In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen people in line, and it was not Lu Yunyou's turn. These martial arts cultivators with less strength spoke.
"Okay, I'll give you one day. You don't have to go into danger personally. You just need to roughly confirm the situation in each place." His face perked up. After explaining the fifth-level martial arts cultivators, Wen Fu looked at the deputy general next to him and said. "Vice General Zheng, you are responsible for making arrangements for them."
"General, take your orders." Seeing that their general didn't seem to be worried about eliminating the beast problem, Zheng Tuo immediately agreed.
"Other personnel rest where they are. After confirming the situation, we will arrange for you to exterminate the beasts as soon as possible." Then, Wen Fu continued: "During this period, we will continue to negotiate with the Lord of Yancheng. We will definitely I will get some help for you.”
Glancing at the three hundred Star Troopers gathered together, Wen Fu couldn't help but wonder whether it was right or wrong for them to help Feng Country deal with the animal problem. After all, these matters had little to do with them, but one thing was certain, follow Lan Wu's instructions will not go wrong.
"It all depends on the general's arrangements," Wen Fu was very organized. After the conversation just now, even Lu Yunyou, who was on the outside, recognized Wen Fu's ability. From Wen Fu, he saw the ability of a general, or in other words This is the difference between the generals above and them.
That may not be comparable to the charisma of a commander like Lan Wu, but it must be the ability that a leader should have. If the Lu family had not been besieged by the other three major forces and he had succeeded in taking the position of young master of the Lu family, then no matter what the need How long will it take, sooner or later he will become like Wen Fu, but he is not sure if he really wants to become like that.
After resting separately, Lu Yunyou sat alone in a place in the courtyard. Without brother Gao Li, he had no relationship with the martial arts cultivator next to him. Even if there were people he knew, no one was willing to be friends with him. It seemed that other stars Everyone in the army disliked his low cultivation level, but he was happy to be clean.
Now they are in a mansion arranged by the Lord of Yancheng City. The place is very big. Other martial arts cultivators gather together in twos and threes and chat non-stop. Because they are close to some martial arts cultivators, Lu Yunyou hears some people talking about him, saying that he is just lucky enough to rely on his strength. Only by knowing some martial arts can he defeat those fourth-level martial arts cultivators, but his own strength is not that strong.
