Chapter 537: Taiping Dao Soldiers
Time goes back to a month ago, to the Five Fingers Concave Area in the Heaven Realm.
Although it is not yet June, the weather is already as hot as summer.
Unlike the thousands of ravines and gullies before Li Hao left, the Five Finger Depression now presents a vibrant scene.
The fields were divided by mud and brush, and the smoke from burning branches and weeds blocked out the sun.
The mortals living here are reclaiming the land, trying to carve out a piece of land of their own using this primitive method.
Amid the billowing black smoke, ragged mortals wearing linen vests were working hard but joyfully in the fields.
Because this is the land protected by the Taiping Dao.
It is an inland area that the forces of practitioners absolutely dare not penetrate into.
From afar, you can see farmers working with plows in their hands, and occasionally you can see tamed wild animals helping them pull the plows.
If you zoom out a little further, you can also see soldiers patrolling with muskets and wearing cloth armor.
These are the warriors trained by Bai Shasheng in the name of Taiping Dao.
Each of them is a carefully selected brave man, a warrior who dares to charge towards the practitioners with his mortal body.
Although looking at the entire Five Finger Depression area, the number of these armed soldiers is not large.
But when they truly gather together, even the top sects in the Heavenly Realm will never dare to underestimate their power.
Because anyone who despises the existence of armed soldiers has been intimidated by their blood and fire.
In the more than ten years of war before, countless practitioners fell at their hands, which became one of their achievements to intimidate the world of heaven and man.
Nowadays, almost every sect that can be named in this world has fought against these armed soldiers.
Due to their powerful performance, these armed soldiers were given the name "Taiping Dao Soldiers".
Jun Yao is one of these [Taiping Dao soldiers].
He was one of the first mortals who was infected by Bai Shasheng's preaching and chose to voluntarily follow him to achieve great things.
Even the name "Jun Yao" was given by Bai Shasheng himself - it means a man who stands tall and upright.
In fact, Jun Yao really lives up to the name.
As Bai Shasheng's earliest follower, Jun Yao witnessed the birth and rise of the Taiping Dao Army.
I witnessed how those once high and mighty "gods" were defeated and how they begged for mercy from me.
In Jun Yao's mind, those gods who have lived in fairy mountains and islands all year round have long lost any halo.
Apart from living a little longer than themselves, they are also ordinary people who can get hurt, die, and beg for mercy.
"Captain, Shuangliu Village is a little short of manpower, and the higher-ups want us to go there."
The voices of the Taiping Dao scouts, riding on wild beasts similar to war horses, could be heard from afar.
In non-war times, there are no strict regulations on the Taiping Dao soldiers' communication methods, as long as they can accurately convey the orders of their superiors.
“Is it land reclamation?”
Leading several soldiers under his command, Jun Yao waved at the scout and asked.
[Taiping Dao Soldiers] are mortals, so naturally they won’t be as high and mighty as other practitioners.
Especially during busy farming seasons like now, actively helping the mortals under his rule to open up wasteland and harvest has almost become a daily routine that is taken for granted.
To use Bai Shasheng's words, if one fails to always remember one's mortal origins, then what is the difference between the Taiping Dao soldiers and those practitioners whom one hates?
In fact, the [Taiping Dao Soldiers] not only help mortals to open up wasteland and harvest.
It also has its own specialized logistics forces for farming, smelting and trade.
Although the logistics troops of the Taiping Dao Army will not go to the battlefield personally, their contribution to the entire mortal community is no less than that of the regular troops on the front line.
In this age of rampant beasts and dangers, it is those logistics troops who risk their lives to connect various mortal villages and trade and exchange supplies with them.
The sprouts of civilization are growing in this desolate world, and a special political system based on the military is taking shape.
The [Taiping Dao Army] is the backbone of this political system, and the mortal villages attached to it are the flesh and blood of this political system.
This new political system may have various flaws, but its original intention and mobilization ability are undoubtedly the strongest in the world.
——Let the world have peace!
——Let mortals uphold civilization!
This was the slogan and ideal that Bai Shasheng instilled into the entire [Taiping Dao Army] after distilling his own experiences with mortals.

"Wait! Stop!"
When Jun Yao and his soldiers arrived at Shuangliu Village, he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop everyone from entering the village.
"The situation is not right, don't rush in!"
After receiving Jun Yao's order, the soldiers who had originally looked relaxed immediately perked up and tightly gripped their rifles.
"Are they those practitioners again?"
A soldier who was closer to Jun Yao asked quietly.
He was a new recruit who had just joined the Taiping Dao Army, so his experience was obviously not as good as that of other veterans.
Even after receiving special war training, the new recruit was unable to judge what was happening in the village based on the existing situation.
"Not really. The cultivators who come here to steal supplies are basically independent cultivators."
"They may possess abilities that ordinary people cannot imagine, but they definitely cannot be so... thorough."
After thinking for a long time, Jun Yao finally used the word "comprehensive" to describe the situation in Shuangliu Village.
"There was no smell of blood, no signs of resistance, and not even any traces of birds or animals..."
The scout who was responsible for the notification previously expressed his own judgment at this time, and the surprise on his face could no longer be concealed.
"What's going on?"
"How could a cultivator who is capable of such a level of accomplishment target such a small village?"
After hearing the scout's judgment, Jun Yao gave the order again without any hesitation.
"Fully armed, get into formation!"
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers under Jun Yao's command immediately formed a standard "three-three" formation.
Every three people form a combat team, and each combat team forms a front triangle or rear triangle charge formation, allowing the entire team to evacuate as a whole while being able to coordinate with each other.
Whenever a soldier was attacked by surprise, at least two soldiers would react and launch fire attacks in the direction of the attack.
Therefore, unless they encounter practitioners with large-scale killing skills, it is basically difficult for other types of practitioners to eliminate a small team of [Taiping Dao Soldiers] at one time.
