Standing on the broad city wall, Lin Zixuan looked up and saw a hilly basin, rugged and large and small puddles filled with dead bones and blood.
The remains of the corpses all over the place looked hideous and terrifying, broken blades and broken shields could be seen everywhere, and even the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, adding to the loneliness and sadness against the gloomy sky.
Lin Zixuan's eyes were full of solemnity. Anyone who came here would be respectful.
Xiao Miao asked him to wait for the city lord here. Looking at it now, it seems that he had a deep meaning.
When the blood-red sunset reflected in the sky and the twilight autumn wind blew, Lin Zixuan shivered all over. The wind was biting and cold.
The sentry posts on the city tower were replaced by soldiers one after another. The light emitted by the shining silver armor cut through the sky like lightning. Only a few figures slowly walked out of the tall earth-yellow beacon tower.
Lin Zixuan took a quick look and saw a figure at the front surrounded by soldiers. His face was resolute and heroic, and every move he made showed the demeanor of a strong man.
Lin Zixuan also found that he did not have the airs of a superior person at all, but was more approachable and affable.
The eyes of the soldiers beside him were full of awe and enthusiasm. This was their king. For twenty years, he had worked hard and dedicated himself to fight the enemy according to orders without any complaints.
The bleak wind danced his long hair, and on his handsome and clean face, there was a firm gaze in the deep eyes, looking at Lin Zixuan, as if to penetrate everything about him.
Lin Zixuan raised his eyes and looked at each other. He felt the distinctive aura exuded by that figure, as vast as the sea and as deep as the abyss.
"Are you the Lin Zixuan that Vice City Master Xue said?" He asked lightly, raising his arm slightly. The soldiers around him stopped one after another, and he walked forward alone.
"Lin Zixuan meets the general." Lin Zixuan immediately bowed and saluted. The city of Tianlan is located in a strategic fortress and was personally canonized by the lord of the empire. His position is so important that the lord of a city is the general of the empire.
The man nodded, with a faint light flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Deputy City Lord Xue has always admired you, and now it seems that you are indeed a talented person."
"My lord, the city lord, is ridiculous. This guy is just a commoner, how can he be as outstanding as the lord said." Lin Zixuan smiled and said politely.
The man remained silent and continued to ask: "I heard that you are a light attribute monk?"
Lin Zixuan nodded, and with a thought, a bright white light appeared behind him.
The surrounding soldiers' gazes condensed. All the light monks were extremely talented. They were trained as core disciples in any sect. Once they grow up, they can annihilate the sky in attack and protect the common people in defense.
In terms of war, light monks and life monks are rare and sought-after resources.
After all, no one in the world is afraid of death. Only after they have rescue guarantee, they will charge more into battle.
"Xue Miao has recruited a treasure for our military camp. From this point of view, he should be remembered for his great contribution." The man laughed and looked at Lin Zixuan with an even more affectionate look.
Lin Zixuan's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of the Dao Mo Qin that his master had given him. Those treasures were coveted by countless people, and even those as broad-minded as him would not necessarily hand them over.
He must find an opportunity to prove his identity to him, and this prerequisite is his status and weight in the army.
When the time comes to do both, he will be willing to leave it to himself.
Lin Zixuan clasped his fists and asked: "This kid is new here and is not familiar with military discipline and combat rules. Please let me know, General."
The man smiled and said, "I thought Xue Miao had told you a long time ago, so it doesn't matter if I say it myself."
"The Sunset Empire and the Haoyue Empire are both one of the seven empires affiliated with Dongtian Cangzhou. However, the friction between the two empires when they were young turned into a confrontation between the empires. Cangzhou once sent envoys to mediate, but it was in vain. Sent away.”
Lin Zixuan was shocked. The war between the two empires was actually intensified by the conflict between the empire's masters. This was a bit too selfish and narrow-minded.
The man seemed to see through Lin Zixuan's thoughts and explained: "Of course, he only had superficial reasons. It was more about the quota allocated by the Cangzhou Taoist Academy to the empire. Since there were no enlightened people in the two empires, they were at the bottom of the empire. The Cangzhou Divine Lord was Inspiring the two empires and promulgating the rule that the last one can only have three seats, this made the war even more fanatical."
Lin Zixuan sighed, it seemed that everything originated from profit.
"War is cruel, but it is a natural place for training. In order to hone the best talents in the empire, the emperor will send some of them to participate in the war, but casualties cannot be avoided. Those soldiers who are red-eyed on the battlefield do not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and act indiscriminately. The use of magic has also led to the fall of some geniuses."
"In recent years, the emperor has realized his mistake and shifted his focus to Tianyuan Academy, allowing geniuses to gather the best of hundreds of schools and learn advanced techniques to increase their strength. But how does he know? What about the geniuses who came out of Wenwen Township? And killers on the battlefield, relying on the latter's terrifying reactions and superior combat capabilities, in the same realm, the former is often not a perfect match for the latter, of course, this is only for most people."
Lin Zixuan also agreed in his heart that on the battlefield, one mistake could lead to death. Their attacks were ruthless and decisive, without any flaws, leaving no room for their opponents to think.
"Emperor Haoyue has a completely different view on this. He gathers geniuses on the battlefield to cultivate them. The strong survive and the weak are eliminated. He even sends the royal guards, the Haoyue Divine Guards, to participate in the battle. Although it is only a very small part, but Their combat awareness and methods are far superior to our army, which has caused heavy casualties in our Tianlan Guards, day after day." The man's face was a little sad, and the successive defeats in the war made him feel no hope of survival. If this continues, Tianlan City will fall sooner or later.
"Discipline in the military means that internal strife must not occur, and military morale must not be disturbed during battle. Violators will be put to death regardless of their status."
"Also, the positions in the army are based on merit. There are commanders of hundreds and commanders of thousands. The commander of ten thousand is the commander. Seeing him is like seeing me." The man said lightly, the enemy's strength is getting better day by day, and our army is stagnant. , there are not many centurions, and the position of commander is even more difficult. Now there is only one person in this army.
"Based on the number of enemies you kill, you can exchange for merit. This is a merit card. It records the number of enemies you kill on the battlefield. When it reaches a certain number, it will automatically upgrade."
The man gave Lin Zixuan a copper token. Lin Zixuan reached out to take it, feeling cold and refreshing, and there was also a special wave emanating from it.
"Whether you are a relative of the emperor or a genius in the clan, you must start from the bottom in order to convince the public. If you want to earn more meritorious service, then kill the enemy bravely." The man turned to look at the group of soldiers. Inside, he said: "Chen Huan, he will join your team."
I saw a tall, muscular man walking out, lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying, "As you command!"
