Chapter 639 Commander
"First row...sting!" In the square, McCann was giving orders.
"Kill!" A group of old men held spears and thrust forward hard. Although the movements of stabbing wooden stakes before were the same, the momentum was completely different. You could vaguely feel a murderous aura spreading, and standing next to you felt a suffocating heaviness.
"Oh, it's not bad." Li Huailin nodded, and even regained the momentum of the Second Legion. He said that it was much better than he thought.
"Hey, isn't that important?" The summoning Jade Emperor and Hongyue stood beside Li Huailin. Looking at the old people who were going to kill people, Hongyue couldn't help asking, "By the way, these people were a group of amiable old people a day ago, and now they have been brainwashed by you as a murderer. Is this really important?"
"Isn't it good? Look at how energetic they are." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "Besides, what they become is my business. I came here to do the task, and I left after the task is over, no matter what they are."
"Although this is true..." Hongyue nodded.
"Can you win? How many people have you brought here?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor here.
"There are more than a dozen people in total." Li Huailin said, "Several people are transporting weapons, and the people from the reconnaissance team are investigating around, and no one else is brought."
"You brought a dozen people?" asked the Summoning Jade Emperor here. He just saw McCan appear and thought Li Huailin brought a lot of people over. "How to fight this? There are only a hundred old people here, and there are three thousand troops there."
"I also want to bring my private army here. There is no need to be such trouble. Just flatten the camp with the cavalry. The problem is not possible." Li Huailin said, "This place is too remote. I asked the cavalry to run from my territory to get here for at least 3-4 days, and it is still a way to travel, so I could only ask a few people to come to the teleportation array to help. But I feel at ease. Even if there are only a hundred people, it is still very easy to take down those soldiers."
"Simple. How to do it? Do you have a plan?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor here.
"First of all, don't think about how strong the opponent is. Do you still remember the situation when we went to their camp to investigate?" Li Huailin said, "The soldiers standing guard at the door said that they had just joined the army for a while, which means they were just a group of new recruits. They just put down their hoes and took the spear. Even if they had an advantage in physical strength, they lacked training. Second, when we went there last time, the other party said that the generals on their side were still sleeping and could not have a meeting. Isn't this very strange?"
"Strange?" asked strangely.
"Of course, we went there at around 9 a.m., and the general military camps started training at 7 a.m. Especially for such a new recruit camp, we must definitely grasp discipline. The question is, why the military camps are so quiet at around 9 a.m. Not only does there be no training sound, but even the officers are sleeping. This doesn't make sense." Li Huailin said.
"This... is indeed, what's going on?" Summoning Jade Emperor thought about it and asked.
"It's obvious that the other party... was not getting up late, but just went to bed." Li Huailin said.
"Just just went to bed?" The summoned Jade Emperor here said in surprise.
"Yes, I actually felt strange yesterday. I went to see it in the evening and found that this military camp was not a simple military camp." Li Huailin said, "At 8 o'clock in the evening, the officers would leave the camp with a large number of soldiers and go into the mountains next to them, and bring them back in the morning."
"Why?" asked strangely.
"Mine..." Li Huailin said, "When he came back, the other party's soldiers were pushing trucks of ore. Although I couldn't tell what ore it was, it was obvious that the other party was mining overnight."
"Ah? Why? Isn't this a military camp?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor, "Shouldn't mining be done by miners or slaves?"
"I don't know, maybe our opponents like to use mining to train the soldiers' physical strength, or maybe they can't get slaves or something to replace their jobs. After all, although slaves can be bought at will, they still need to register. The other party... cannot register." Li Huailin said.
"Can't register?" The summoning Jade Emperor here was surprised, "Are you saying that this army... is illegal?"
"Yes, this has been confirmed. I went back and asked, and no army had arranged an army here. Simply put, these soldiers were not the regular army of the empire, so they refused to hang flags." Li Huailin said, "Although I don't know where they came from, they should be rebels."
"Marson, I found it." As he was speaking, Li Huailin's military minister Reg came over from the side. This guy was pulled over to help after he was beaten up. His loyalty was so great that he was already full.
"What's the situation?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, look for it in the direction provided by the marshal. Sure enough, I found a mine in the mountains. I found out that it was an abandoned mine, which contained a large amount of iron ore and sulfur ore." McCann replied.
"Abandoned mine?" Li Huailin asked strangely, "Why is it abandoned?"
"I have also checked this. I found iron ore here about fifty years ago and tried to develop it for a while, but it was too remote and inconvenient to transport. In addition, the purification of iron ore here is quite difficult, and the cast iron technology at that time could not keep up and it was difficult to develop. Another thing is that this mine seemed to be polluted by dark matter. There are often dark creatures such as zombies in the mine. The lives of miners cannot be guaranteed, so it stopped after several years of development." Regg replied.
"Oh, that's it." Li Huailin nodded, "No wonder the army needs to go to mining. It can not only get ore, but also kill dark creatures and train soldiers. In this way, this army is really an illegal army."
"Yes, the ore is the finance of the local lord. This area has not been granted to others, that is, His Highness the King is directly under the jurisdiction of him. Without the king's order, it is a serious act of treason. It is obvious that this is a rebel force. Although I don't know where it came from, it can organize a unit of 3,000 people, which is quite large." Regg said.
"Since that's the case, we'll kill them all, and we'll make contributions to the country." Li Huailin said, "Have the location of the mine been determined?"
"It has been confirmed, but there are guards guarding the door now. In order not to alert the enemy, we did not go in and check it out." Regg replied here.
"Okay, it's simple." Li Huailin said, "But since that's the case, we have to act a little bit ahead of time and let everyone gather to prepare for a meeting. It's also beneficial to have a small number of people. It's really easy to hold a meeting."
Soon all the old people were gathered together again. Now the new equipment has arrived, and the old people have changed into a set. Of course, considering the physical strength of these people, it is impossible to wear heavy armor of ordinary soldiers and can't even walk. Therefore, everyone is basically equipped with light armor and leather armor. Only a few people with particularly good physical strength, such as one-armed Sadra, can still wear heavy armor.
In terms of weapons, each person has a long spear, a sword and a bow and arrow, which is better than ordinary soldiers’ equipment. After all, there are fewer people, and such a configuration is still affordable. It is different in the military camp. Everyone is so worthy of it and goes bankrupt.
Under the explanation of Reg here, the old men quickly learned about the other party's purpose. It turned out that these people came here to mine.
"No wonder I'm willing to give us 300 gold and let us leave. This mine can earn at least hundreds of thousands of gold..."
"We have never known that there is an iron ore here." Because these people moved here after the iron ore was abandoned, they knew nothing about the iron ore here.
"Okay, everyone knows the situation, so the plan now changes a little. I originally wanted to solve them tomorrow morning, but now I really don't want them to see tomorrow's sun, so we'll get them done tonight." Li Huailin said.
"This..." A group of old people showed a little doubt, because what Li Huailin said was too casual. They didn't ask before, but now they think about it, there are only a few people here. Can this really win?
"What's wrong? You can ask any questions now. I rarely answer other people's questions. Today I make an exception." Li Huailin said.
"Really, can you win?" Henride asked forward.
"Don't you believe me?" Li Huailin said with a smile, "Who do you think I am?"
A group of old men looked at each other, really don’t know who you are.
"What a bunch of idiots." Regg, who came forward, said, "This is the current Marshal of the Second Corps of the Empire. The Duke of Aquitaine is Lord Ruolin's heart. It is a blessing for you to help you for eight lifetimes. You actually doubt the Duke's judgment. Believe it or not, I will kill you now."
"What!" A group of old men were really scared this time, "It's that million-dollar duke..."
"Of course, is there anyone else who calls this?" Reg here immediately replied.
"Do you still have any questions?" Li Huailin asked with a smile.
"No...no, Marshal..." Although these old men had no knowledge, they also knew Li Huailin's name. In addition to the Million Duke, he also had a title called the God of War. Because this guy has not lost so far, so Li Huailin said that he could win, there was absolutely no reason to win.
"Since that's the case, everyone obeys the order now." Li Huailin stood up and said.
"Yes, Marshal!" Everyone present stood attentively, including McCann and Reg.
