Chapter 639 Commander
"The first row... thorns!" In the square, McCann was calling the shots.
"Kill!" A group of old people stabbed forward fiercely with their spears. Although the action of stabbing the wooden stake was the same as before, the momentum was completely different. You could vaguely feel a murderous aura spreading. There is a suffocating heaviness next to it.
"Oh, not bad." Li Huailin nodded, and even regained a bit of the momentum of the Second Legion, saying that it was much better than he imagined.
"Hey, is this really all right?" Summoning Jade Emperor and Hongyue and the others stood beside Li Huailin, looking at the old people who were about to kill, Hongyue couldn't help asking, "Speaking of which Helping people was a group of kind and friendly old people a day ago, but now you have directly brainwashed them into murderers, does it really matter?"
"Isn't it good? Look at how energetic each of them is." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "Besides, what they become is none of my business. I came here to do a mission, and I will leave after the mission is over. , whatever they do."
"Although that's true..." Hongyue nodded.
"Can you win? How many people did you bring here?" asked the summoning Jade Emperor here.
"A total of more than a dozen people." Li Huailin said, "A few people are transporting weapons, and people from the reconnaissance team are investigating around, and no one else is with them."
"You brought only a dozen people?" The summoning Jade Emperor here asked. He thought that Li Huailin had brought a lot of people when he saw McCann appearing just now. "How do you fight? There are only a hundred of us here." Old man, there are three thousand troops over there."
"I also want to bring my private troops here. It doesn't have to be so troublesome. The cavalry can just level the camp and it's over. The problem is that it won't work." Li Huailin said, "It's too remote here, I asked I asked the cavalry to travel from my territory to here for at least 3-4 days, or the way of rushing without rest, so I could only ask a few people to come to help by teleportation array, but don't worry, even if there are only a hundred or so people, It's easy to take down those soldiers."
"Simple. How to do it? Do you have a plan?" asked the summoning Jade Emperor here.
"First of all, don't think about how strong the other side is. Remember when we went to their camp to investigate?" Li Huailin said, "The soldiers standing guard at the gate said that they just joined the army not long ago, which means that they are just one It's just a batch of recruits, who just put down their hoes and picked up their spears. Even if they have the advantage in physical strength, they lack training. Second, when we went last time, the other party said that the generals on their side were still sleeping and could not hold meetings. This Isn't it weird?"
"Strange?" Summoning Jade Emperor asked strangely.
"Of course,
When we went there, it was after 9:00 in the morning, and the general military camps started training at 7:00, especially for new military camps like this, which definitely required discipline. The question is, why is the barracks so quiet after 9 o'clock. Not only is there no sound of training, but even the officers are sleeping, which doesn't make sense. "Li Huailin said.
"This... indeed, what's going on?" Summoning the Jade Emperor asked after thinking about it.
"Obviously, the other party... didn't get up late, but just fell asleep." Li Huailin said.
"Just fell asleep?" the summoning Jade Emperor said in surprise.
"Yeah, in fact, I felt strange yesterday. I went to see it specially at night, and found that this barracks is really not a simple barracks." Li Huailin said, "At 8 o'clock in the evening, the officers will bring a large number of soldiers Leave the camp, go into the nearby mountains, and bring them back in the morning."
"Why?" Summoning Jade Emperor asked strangely.
"Mine..." Li Huailin said, "When I came back, the other party's soldiers were pushing a cart full of ore. Although I couldn't tell what kind of ore it was, it was obvious that the other party was mining overnight."
"Oh? Why? Isn't this a military camp?" Summoning Jade Emperor asked, "Shouldn't mining or something be done by miners or slaves?"
"I don't know, maybe our opponents like to use mining to exercise the soldiers' physical strength, or maybe they can't get slaves to replace their jobs. After all, slaves can be bought casually, but they still need to be registered. Yes, the other party... can't register." Li Huailin said.
"Can't register?" The summoning Jade Emperor here was surprised, "You mean this army...is illegal?"
"Yeah, this has been verified. I went back and asked if any legion had deployed troops here. Simply put, these soldiers are not the regular army of the empire, so they refuse to hang the flag." Li Huailin said, "Although they don't I know where it came from, but it must be the rebels."
"Marshal, we found it." Just as he was talking, Li Huailin's military minister, Reg, walked over from the side. This guy was pulled over by Li Huailin to help just after he was spanked.
"What's the situation?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I followed the direction provided by the marshal, and I found a mine in the mountain. I found out that it is an abandoned mine, and there are a lot of iron ore and sulfur ore in it." McCann replied.
"Abandoned mine?" Li Huailin asked strangely, "Why was it abandoned?"
"I've also checked this. About fifty years ago, iron ore was discovered here, and I tried to develop it for a while, but this place is too remote, the transportation is inconvenient, and the iron ore here is difficult to purify. Quite high, the cast iron technology at that time could not keep up, and it was difficult to develop. Another point is that the mine seems to be polluted by dark substances. There are often dark creatures such as zombies in the mine. The life of the miners cannot be guaranteed, so the development After a few years, it stopped," Reg replied.
"Oh, that's right." Li Huailin nodded, "No wonder the army is required to mine the mines. Not only can they get the ore, but they can also kill dark creatures to train soldiers. In this way, this army is really an illegal army."
"Yes, the ore is the property of the local lord. This area has not been entrusted to others, that is, it is under the direct control of His Royal Highness, and digging without the king's order is an act of treason. Obviously, this is an act of treason. A rebel army, although I don’t know where it came from, but it can organize an army of 3,000 people, which is not a small scale.” Reg said.
"In this case, let's kill them all, or contribute to the country." Li Huailin said, "Has the location of the mine been determined?"
"It's been confirmed, but there are guards guarding the door now, so we didn't go in to check in order not to startle the enemy." Reg replied here.
"Okay, it's easy there." Li Huailin said, "But since this is the case, we have to act a little earlier and let everyone gather to prepare for the meeting. It is good to have fewer people. It is really easy to hold a meeting."
Soon all the old people were gathered together again. Now that the new equipment has arrived, the old people have changed into a set. Of course, considering the physical strength of these people, it is impossible to wear the heavy armor of ordinary soldiers. I can't walk anymore, so everyone is basically equipped with light armor and leather armor. Only a few people with particularly good physical strength, such as the one-armed Sadra, can wear heavy armor.
In terms of weapons, each person has a spear, a sword and a bow and arrow. This is better equipped than ordinary soldiers. After all, there are few people, so this configuration is still affordable. It is different in the barracks. Everyone is like this Match directly went bankrupt.
Under the explanation of Reg here, a group of old people soon knew the purpose of the other party. It turned out that this group of people came here to mine.
"No wonder they are willing to give us 300 gold to let us leave. The other party can at least earn hundreds of thousands of gold by opening a mine..."
"We didn't know there was an iron mine here." Because these people moved here after the iron mine was abandoned, and they didn't know anything about the iron mine here.
"Okay, everyone understands the situation, so the current plan is slightly changed. Originally, I wanted to get rid of them tomorrow morning, but now I really don't want them to see the sun tomorrow, so we will kill them tonight." Get it done," Li Huailin said.
"This..." A group of old people showed a little suspicious look, because what Li Huailin said was too casual, and they didn't ask about it before because of their enthusiasm, but now thinking about it, there are only so few people on their side. Can you win?
"What's the matter? You can ask any questions now, but I rarely answer other people's questions. Today is an exception." Li Huailin said.
"Really, can you win?" Henry asked a step forward.
"Don't you believe me?" Li Huailin said with a smile, "Who do you think I am?"
A group of old people looked at each other, really don't know who you are.
"What a bunch of idiots." Reg on the side stepped forward and said, "This is the current Marshal of the Second Imperial Army. You actually doubt the judgment of Lord Duke, believe it or not, I will cut you off right now."
"What!" A group of old people were really terrified this time, "It's just...that millionaire duke..."
"Of course, is there anyone else called this?" Reg on the side immediately replied.
"Any questions?" Li Huailin asked with a smile.
"No...no more, Lord Marshal..." Although these old people have little knowledge, they also know Li Huailin's name. In addition to the Duke of Millions, he also has the title of Military God, because until now, this guy has not Lost, so Li Huailin said he could win, there is absolutely no reason to win.
"Since that's the case, everyone obeys orders now." Li Huailin stood up and said.
"Yes, Marshal!" Everyone present, including McCann and Reg, stood at attention and said.
"Everyone...sleep, now." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
