Chapter 247

The army of the neighboring Xiling Kingdom is less than...

Cheng Hui led the Guangping army back to the edge of the city wall, and another team took their place.

There were only less than ten soldiers left from the neighboring Xiling Kingdom, so they were naturally unable to take on the responsibility of guarding the city wall. So before and after the team that replaced them arrived, they were led down the city wall by the bald instructor.

Not long after, a team came over and occupied the position next to the Guangping Army.

Cheng Hui looked at the equally young team and sighed slightly.

Not every country has a strong enough army... Many times they are forced to send these young people to the battlefield.

If they make it through, they might be able to return home and lead a strong team. If they can’t… that’s their fate.

Most of the elite troops of various countries were formed in this way. Even if they suffered heavy losses, the monarchs of various countries had to persevere.

After a short rest, food was soon delivered to the city wall.

After dinner, everyone slept on the floor, and the fatigue of the day soon made them fall asleep.

At midnight...

The booming sound of the war drums woke everyone up suddenly. Cheng Hui jumped up and looked at the city wall in front of him.

A large number of lights have been lit on the battlements of the city wall. The demons have night vision, so attacking at night is more advantageous for them.

Cheng Hui watched for a while and found that the demon's attack was not very powerful. Although it was also climbing the city wall, it felt more like a harassment. He would retreat immediately if he found that the situation was hopeless.

He looked around and saw that there was no sound in the distance, closer to the middle of the city wall. The soldiers resting there seemed to be completely oblivious to the noise from outside and were still sleeping soundly.

On the contrary, the further away from the middle section, the worse the soldiers' performance became. He even saw a troop that had climbed the city wall today blow up its camp... They only calmed down after the general inspired their military spirit and beat them up.

Cheng Hui sighed and looked at his Guangping Army... emmm, they could barely be considered the tallest among the short ones.

He finally understood that the closer to the middle section, the more elite troops there were and the more intense the fighting was. Their side... could only be said to be a place for training.

"Okay, okay, stop looking and go to sleep. Trust our allies." Cheng Hui waved his hand, signaling everyone to go back to sleep.

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. Less than five hundred meters away from them, the flames of war were raging. Sleep? How could they possibly sleep?

The bald instructor was also staying with them today. Seeing this, he yawned and said, "Forget it, let them be. It's like this at the beginning. They will know it later. It's good enough to have a place to sleep at night. Why are they so picky?" After saying that, he got into his sleeping bag.

Cheng Hui: ...

Then go to sleep... So he went back to sleep too.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment. Finally, Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou took the lead. "Go, go, go! Why are you still standing there like idiots? The commander said we need to sleep. If we don't sleep now, we won't be energetic enough to fight tomorrow. We might even lose our lives!"

The soldiers were suddenly startled. This was a matter of life and death, so they all obediently returned to their sleeping bags.

Whether you can fall asleep or not is another matter, but at least lying down is more comfortable than standing.

Soon, the fatigue of the day made them fall asleep amid the sound of fighting. I don’t know if it was because of Cheng Hui’s training or what, but they all actually fell asleep.

The bald instructor got up to relieve himself during the training. Seeing the soldiers sleeping soundly, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "My goodness, they are all asleep. This is a skill only veterans have. This brat is quite amazing."

At night, patrolling soldiers passed by and were surprised to see the Guangping Army sleeping soundly. Compared with the several panicked legions nearby, the Guangping Army, which was snoring loudly, was simply a weirdo.

The patrolling soldiers stopped one after another, and some of them were curious and wanted to wake people up to ask them how they could sleep so soundly, but they were scolded by the leading officer.

It's a good thing that people are sleeping soundly. What's wrong with waking them up?

However, the performance of the Guangping Army really attracted the attention of many people, and coupled with their battle record during the day, Cheng Hui received a new transfer order early the next morning.

Cheng Hui: ???

Hasn't he heard that you can change your location after climbing up the wall?

He took the document with a bewildered look on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at the smiling clerk in front of him.

Okay, now that we’ve come this far, what else is there to say? We’ll just do whatever others say.

So he ordered the army to be reorganized and followed the clerk obediently to... a position slightly to the right of the middle of the battlefield.

Cheng Hui: =口=

Holy shit, is it that ruthless? Directly from the edge to the center?

Although to some extent, he is valued by the higher-ups, but... this is too dangerous for his soldiers..._(:з」∠)_

Cheng Hui felt that he was not a saint, but since these soldiers followed him, he still hoped to save their lives.

It's a pity... Yu Yanshu has no say in matters like this, and judging from their expressions, those soldiers are also very excited. This seems, possibly, probably... to be a good thing?

Cheng Hui didn't know, this was certainly a good thing.

It is true that the bloody battlefield is cruel, but the rewards here are extremely generous.

Here, no one dares to embezzle any money or military merit, so as long as you gain something on the battlefield, you will receive corresponding rewards.

For example, in yesterday's battle, apart from the compensation for those who died in the battle, each of the remaining soldiers can get a share of the merits.

If one is interested in a career in politics, this military merit is the capital for advancement. If one wants to retire, this military merit can also be exchanged for a large sum of money.

Moreover, because of his military achievements in bloody battles on the battlefield, it represents that he has made contributions to the entire continent. No matter which country he is in, such retired soldiers will be respected by everyone.

Cheng Hui doesn't pay much attention to these things. After all, he is not here to make money or get promoted. He comes here purely to hone himself.

But for the soldiers, nothing about family and country is as important as real money, and money is linked to military merit. Killing different types of demons can bring different rewards. Obviously, the demons in the middle section of the city wall are more valuable than those on the edge.

After yesterday's battle, these soldiers are more confident than Cheng Hui, and the source of their confidence is the red armor.

That set of armor is like a divine weapon for the soldiers. Not only does it have both offensive and defensive capabilities, it can also increase physical strength, which is very surprising.

You know, many times soldiers die after they are physically exhausted and unable to concentrate, so the longer the battle lasts, the greater the casualties.

In this way, armor that can restore physical strength naturally becomes a treasure in everyone's eyes!

"Okay, this is your defense zone. My mission is completed. Goodbye." The clerk who led the way bowed to Cheng Hui and left.

Cheng Hui and a military commander with a stern look on his face were left staring at each other.

Cheng Hui: ...

The military leader was wearing silver armor, and Cheng Hui almost got blinded by the glare at the sight...

His armor was very good and exquisite, but for some reason, it had several large gems inlaid on the chest.

The gem is a good thing, but it is placed in the wrong position. It makes the exquisite armor that looks like a work of art exude a strong smell of nouveau riche.

Cheng Hui: ...

These gems are colorful and reflect dazzling light under the sunlight. Cheng Hui even suspects that the other party's purpose is to blind the eyes of those attacking the demons.

Nouveau riche... No, the Lord of the Gem Army has an arrogant look on his face, looking down on everyone.

"Just you?" He looked Cheng Hui up and down, then snorted coldly, curled his lips, and said to his deputy general: "Really... anyone dares to come to guard the defense zone here."

He raised his chin towards Cheng Hui and said, "Boy, let me warn you, this defense zone is not easy to defend. If you are smart, you should apply for a transfer order. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you die here."

Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. He thought, "Where did this idiot come from? You said you wanted to apply for a transfer order, so you applied for one? If you're so capable, why don't you apply for one yourself?"

Cheng Hui didn't quite understand the rules here, but no matter where he was, incompetent subordinates would definitely not be liked by their leaders.

Your boss is about to give you an important task, and you say you're not capable? How is that any different from slapping your boss in the face?

He is not pursuing high positions and generous salaries, but this does not mean that he wants to offend those who promote him with good intentions.

The person in front of me obviously has bad intentions, otherwise why doesn't he apply for it himself?

Cheng Hui secretly curled his lips. Really... Wherever there are people, there are always intrigues. Fortunately, such things are rare here. As long as he doesn't fall for it, the other party can't do anything to him.

"This...any military commander, please make way. We need to change guard." Cheng Hui said with a forced smile.

"You!" The Lord of the Gem Army was obviously annoyed by the description of this random army leader, but he couldn't lose his temper in public, so he could only angrily throw his sleeves and leave with his soldiers.

Cheng Hui noticed that his soldiers looked relieved, and he didn't know what the military leader had done to make the soldiers look like that.

The handover was unpleasant, but the defense change was very quick, which was also a habit developed to avoid being attacked by the demons.

After settling down, Cheng Hui winked at Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou, and the two of them took the initiative to get close to the people in the next defense zone.

Since they were both wearing Zepao robes, the soldiers had no defense against them. In addition, the matter was not a secret in the first place, so it didn't take long for them to find out the situation of the original garrison legion.

Simply put, this is the story of a military leader who has lofty ambitions but a fragile life and who likes to talk about military affairs on paper.

That Zhao Kuo... Bah, no, it's General Zhao Ting. His legion was inherited and was very elite, but he as a general was a bit lame. His performance after activating the military spirit... How should I put it? It can't be said to be particularly bad, I can only say... it was very bad compared to the other generals around him.

To describe it in four words: his virtue is unworthy of his position.

The Shangwei Legion led by his father was a very powerful legion. Its original defense zone was not here, but closer to the center.

Unfortunately, after the last rotation, his father fell seriously ill and passed away soon, so the Shangwei Legion fell into the hands of his son.

Originally, it might not be impossible for the two sides to restore the prestige of the legion by working together, but Zhao Tingzhi was ambitious but incompetent. He boasted that he had read hundreds of military books and refused to listen to other people's advice. As a result, he was defeated in a battle against bandits and demons.

It would be fine if he could learn from his mistakes and then be braver, but this guy blamed the defeat on the soldiers, believing that it was their lack of cooperation that led to the failure of the military spirit skills.

Soldiers of the Shangwei Legion: ...???
