Chapter 96: The Death Soldier Camp (Added for the readers who love this book)
"Whoa!"
On the official road, the ox carts stopped in order. Sun Wencai did not have the courage to disobey the order of the demon-killing warrior.
What's more, he didn't think there was anything wrong with stopping. After all, he was carrying a demon-slaying warrior in the car.
"Hey, thank you for your hard work, adults."
Sun Wencai's face was full of smiles, but the five demon-slaying warriors in black armor completely ignored him and went straight to the last cart, where Zhang Yang was sitting, with blood and internal organs hanging on his armor, and the helmet was in his hand.
Because it is unavoidable.
If he met an ordinary person, he could still pretend to be arrogant and ignore him, but this time he met a colleague. If you don't say hello, turn around and run away, or even put on a helmet, isn't this telling everyone directly that there is something wrong with him?
So, after thinking it over for a while, he decided to just go for it.
At worst, I'll be captured and sent to a death squad like Duan Kuan. No big deal.
At this time, the five demon-slayers also took off their sealed helmets. They had no suspicion or vigilance at all. After all, this colleague had killed the twin demon soldiers easily and neatly under their noses.
Then, the eyes of both parties met.
Zhang Yang was desperate. He had no intention of killing anyone to silence them. It was meaningless, so he looked calm and composed at the moment, and even looked at the five people.
As for the five demon slayers, they were not stunned by seeing a stranger's face. Instead, their expressions were full of admiration and respect.
The two sides looked at each other for three seconds.
An older demon-killing warrior clasped his fists and said, "I am Lian Kouzhi, the commander of the Demon-killing Division of Tianliang Town. May I ask if you are Lieutenant Dong Chengdong who came from Shangzhou?"
Huh? What the hell!
Zhang Yang had a blank expression on his face. He stared at Lian Kouzhi for three full seconds. Dozens of thoughts flashed through his mind. Then he asked, "Were they the last two demon soldiers who crossed the border?"
"Yes, Captain. As soon as the Demon Slayer Division of Tianliang Town heard about the tragedy in Cangli Village, we all went out to hunt down the demons overnight and killed most of the demon soldiers. However, these twin demon soldiers were too cunning and broke through our encirclement. It was all thanks to the Captain that he took action. Otherwise, there would have been endless troubles. When this matter is reported, you should be the first to be credited."
Lian Kouzhi is actually a very versatile person.
At this time, Zhang Yang had already outlined the general course of events in his mind.
This dead captain should be one of the four bodies outside Cangli Village. It's just that his armor and weapons were taken away by himself at that time, so the four bodies were probably regarded as the victims of the villagers by the people who collected the bodies.
As for why these demon-slaying warriors were able to go down the river and find the valley where they were hiding in just one hour, there must be a misunderstanding.
That is, I initially thought that the four dead soldiers came from the small town of Tianliang in the north, so I had a preconceived idea.
But what if Captain Dong Cheng and his men actually came from the south?
They must have come here on horseback, and would have passed the fork in the mountain, which is the teahouse that was just destroyed. Maybe they would even take a rest in the teahouse.
Also, since Dong Cheng is a captain, he must be the captain leading the army. The real destination of the four people should be the Great Wall defense line, not Tianliang Town.
But in the end they encountered the passing demon soldiers at the fork in the road, and then they fought and retreated, and were finally killed by the demon soldiers outside Cangli Village!
Then they took their armors and weapons away by themselves, and their bodies were collected as the dead villagers, so the Demon-Slaying Division of Tianliang Town should not know that the real Captain Dong Cheng was dead.
And since he had just killed the twin demon soldiers with ease, Lian Kouzhi and the others naturally had a preconceived notion that Dong Cheng was him.
Thousands of thoughts finally converged into one place, and Zhang Yang said lightly:
"Dong is busy with military duties, please feel free to handle it."
"Captain, it's still a long way to the Great Wall defense line. Do you need our protection?"
Lian Kouzhi asked earnestly.
“No need.”
"Then - Captain, take care."
——
The ox cart continued to move forward, but Zhang Yang had no worries. As long as the escort mission was over, he would immediately throw away his armor and change his identity. He didn't think he could really impersonate Captain Dong Cheng.
What if there were people who knew Dong Cheng on the Great Wall defense line? Wouldn't he be dead without a burial place? But just as he was thinking this, several pieces of information appeared.
"Hidden Mission 1: Escort has been completed."
"You are rewarded 5 gold + 1 gold."
"You gain 50+10 points of Wei Dynasty reputation."
"You have acquired a new identity, the Great Wei Dynasty's Border Army Captain Dong Cheng."
"Hidden Mission 2: Stay Alive has been triggered. You think there is something fishy about the death of Border Army Captain Dong Cheng, but you don't have the power to investigate. Please stay alive first."
"Instructions: You can choose to give up this mission, but you will be forced to leave the trial world (Please choose, yes/no)."
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly. How could he have the conditions to choose? There were hundreds of people in the village waiting for food.
"I'm sure you'll continue."
"Basic mission reward: 50 gold."
"Basic mission reward: 500 points of Wei Dynasty reputation."
"Mission Kill Reward: During this mission, every time you and your subordinates kill a demon soldier, the basic reward will increase by 5%."
——
"Captain, we have reached the Great Wall."
"I was not able to recognize you before. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Captain."
In front of the huge and majestic building, Sun Wencai said nervously that he could not imagine just finding a captain on the street.
"It doesn't matter. Your name should be Sun Wen."
Zhang Yang asked meaningfully.
"Yes, what do you want, Captain?"
"How much do you sell the food to the border troops for? Don't worry, because I may need you to buy some extra military rations for me."
Zhang Yang looked at the trembling Sun Wencai and thought about his plan. The food in this world can be brought back, as he had just checked.
In order to determine how many units of food you can bring back, you must first purchase them with gold and silver, and then redeem the purchase limit with the reputation of the Wei Dynasty. One point of Wei Dynasty reputation can be exchanged for 100 units of food limit, or 100 kilograms.
In other words, Zhang Yang's current 60 points of reputation are enough to buy 6,000 kilograms of food.
After understanding Zhang Yang's plan, Sun Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Captain, please understand. As for military rations, we don't have much surplus. I have 15 carts, about 30,000 jin of military rations, and the border troops only give 100 gold coins for them. So, if the quantity you need is not much, I can supply it to you at the military ration price."
Zhang Yang quickly calculated that one gold could buy 300 kilograms of food, and with his current 6 golds he could only buy 3,600 kilograms. It seemed he had to keep working hard.
"There's no rush. I'll come find you when I need you."
With a slight smile, Zhang Yang turned and left, but before he could take a closer look at the huge and magnificent building in front of him, several sturdy soldiers came riding over on their horses, and without saying anything, they directly opened a military order.
"General An Dong has ordered that Lieutenant Dong Cheng be appointed as the commander of the Death Squad and set up camp at Bald Head Ridge before midnight tonight. Anyone who fails to arrive by the deadline will be executed!"
