The commander panicked for a moment, but knowing it was time to flatter, he steadied himself, quickly turned his head away, and pretended not to see Jiang Hao. Ignoring where he'd picked up the phrase, he took a deep breath and shouted it to the surrounding adventurers.
"You didn't participate in the defense of the Central Pass, and you see Jiang Batian's army commander as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky."
"If you had participated in the defense of Zhongfeng Pass, you would have seen him as an ant seeing the blue sky."
The commander's words were exaggerated, but whether people believed them or not, everyone's curiosity had been completely piqued by this commander.
To be praised like that by an NPC, just how capable must this player be?
Some players can't wait to meet Jiang Batian, the legion commander.
"Then may I ask, where is Commander Jiang Batian now? How can we see him?"
The person who asked the question was a very pretty female player. She looked delicate and spoke in a melodious voice, like a nightingale singing.
After ten years of military service, this commander, who now finds even sows alluring, had never seen anything like this before. She was instantly somewhat out of control. But Commander Jiang was standing right at the quarry entrance, and she dared not act rudely. Just as she was about to reply, she saw another girl, no less beautiful than the female player, tug at her sleeve.
"Xiao Rui, how could you do this? The Lord of Hell will definitely come back online! How could you start falling for someone else?"
"Oh, what do you mean by 'falling in love with someone else'? I just suspect that this Jiang Batian Legion Commander is the Lord of Hell!"
"ah?"
Upon hearing Xiao Rui's answer, the female player couldn't help but cover her mouth. The other players immediately disagreed and began to mock Xiao Rui.
"Look at this, look at this, this is what a brainless fan looks like! They really are brainless, beyond saving."
"Hmph, don't you even know which union she belongs to?"
"A world of ice and snow, huh? What's wrong? Is there something special about this guild?"
"You don't know? The guild leader likes the Lord of Hell. Anyone who wants to join the guild will be asked if they like the Lord of Hell. If you answer no, you're not qualified to join the guild at all."
"Hey? Tell me, tell me, does the president of this Ice and Snow World perhaps have some secret relationship with the Lord of Hell?"
Although the quarry commander was surrounded by a large group of players, his mind was entirely focused on Commander Jiang. He saw Commander Jiang standing at the quarry entrance, neither coming in nor going out. He wondered if Commander Jiang had heard his flattery earlier. Suddenly, the commander noticed four characters above the head of Commander Jiang, whom he revered like a god.
Lord of Hell!
Lord of Hell?
Just as the commander was about to take a closer look, he noticed that Commander Jiang's figure had suddenly vanished. The skeletons that had been following behind him, each carrying a quarrying tool, entered the quarry. Moments later, the skeletons' tools flew, and perfectly sized stone bricks were extracted.
A single skeleton could quarry stones faster than four or five veterans working together!
The skeletons who had been waiting in line to move bricks immediately stacked up seven or eight bricks when they saw new bricks coming out, and carried them away with their two skeletal arms.
Even the commander was stunned!
I thought to myself, "As expected, Commander Jiang is truly amazing. His little skeletons can do anything, they're capable of anything!"
"Silver level?"
Suddenly, a player exclaimed in surprise. Everyone looked over and saw him pointing at a skeleton responsible for quarrying stones, his finger trembling slightly.
The commander and the players then discovered that those responsible for quarrying in the quarry were all silver-level skeletons!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
"Wow, I thought that having so many bronze-level summons was the limit for Commander Jiang, but I didn't expect him to have so many silver-level summons!"
"What do you mean by the limit? Let me tell you, Commander Jiang has many more summoned creatures. I just saw them with my own eyes at the Vanguard Pass. They were so numerous that I couldn't count them all."
"Really? I just went to the front pass, but I didn't see it."
"Don't listen to his nonsense, that guy just loves to brag. Those skeletons are practically reaching the horizon, you can only vaguely see their shadows. But this Jiang Legion Commander does have a lot of summons. There are 10,000 helping to move bricks, and at least 8,000 responsible for quarrying. I don't think even the Lord of Hell would have that many summons, right?"
Xiao Rui and her companions wanted to say a few words in defense of the Lord of Hell, but their knowledge of him was all hearsay, and the Lord of Hell did indeed seem to have fewer summoned creatures than this Jiang Legion Commander. Giving those players a resentful glare, the two of them simply walked away.
Since Jiang Hao's skeleton joined the quarry work, the quarry has finally returned to normal. The commander, accompanied by two bodyguards, circled the quarry but did not spot Commander Jiang. However, he overheard the adventurers discussing Commander Jiang and the Lord of Hell.
Some say that Commander Jiang is stronger than the Lord of Hell because he has more summoned creatures, and their rank is higher. Others say that if the Lord of Hell hadn't been cursed, he would definitely be stronger than Commander Jiang now, because he has achieved many first kills and first clears of dungeons, and has been on announcements many times. There's no reason for him to be weaker than someone who hasn't been on announcements.
In short, both sides have their own reasons.
The more he heard these discussions, the more doubts the commander had.
Isn't Commander Jiang the Lord of Hell?
Did he just see things wrong? Or is the Lord of Hell that these adventurers are talking about someone else?
No, I need to find someone to ask clearly, otherwise I could spend a whole day pondering this.
Finally, the commander saw the female player named Xiao Rui. She seemed to know the Lord of Hell very well and was also interested in Commander Jiang, so he walked over to her.
"Hey, hey, it's you, brother! You still haven't told me where I can meet Commander Jiang!"
The female player saw him from afar, waved to him, and asked again.
"Sorry, sorry, there were too many people just now, I forgot. Commander Jiang was overseeing the battle at Zhongfeng Pass, but I don't know where he went after he pushed the Skull Legion out. If you want to see him, you can ask Commander Zhen Nantian when you pass by Zhongfeng Pass."
"You're saying that Commander Jiang alone can defeat the Skeleton Legion? Does that mean the Skeleton Legion is very weak?"
The commander's face immediately fell.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that we soldiers are also very weak?"
