After Zhao Deyang slowly approached, he calmly spoke:
"Li Yu, commander of the Seventh Regiment."
"Yes," Li Yu replied, mimicking the officer's tone.
But even now, he still couldn't figure out what a general from Zhongzhou could want from him, given the vast difference in their social classes.
Zhao Deyang turned his gaze to the crowd surrounding Li Yu and asked:
Are you going to keep heading west?
Li Yu glanced back at the large group of refugees behind him and replied:
"Yes, that's right."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Deyang slightly raised his head, squinted his eyes to carefully discern the direction in the distance, and then said in a very confident tone:
"Beyond the Central Plains defense line, further west lies Wucheng..."
Upon hearing about Wucheng, Wang Li, who had been supporting Zhao Deyang, suddenly remembered something and quickly interjected, asking:
"Could my younger sister be in Wucheng?"
"Mm," Zhao Deyang nodded in response.
His daughter, Zhao Yue, is indeed in Wucheng at the moment, and the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhao Deyang couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
Since Li Yu is going to continue westward, he will inevitably pass through Wucheng.
He could ask Li Yu to help him send something over to his precious daughter.
With a simple wave of his arm, Zhao Deyang quickly handed a tablet device to the officer beside him.
After skillfully manipulating the surface a few times with his hands, Zhao Deyang continued speaking to Li Yu:
"Li Yu, in view of your outstanding performance in this battle, I have promoted you from temporary wartime regimental commander to full-fledged commander."
"From now on, no matter where you go in Zhongzhou, you will be the commander of the New Seventh Regiment."
Upon hearing the news, Li Yu remained calm, but Ma Yuanbai, standing behind Li Yu, was instantly filled with excitement.
It should be noted that this order from the General of Zhongzhou was of extraordinary significance, almost meaning that they could move freely and remain anywhere in Zhongzhou without hindrance.
This is not something that can be done with a simple pass and ID card.
Before Li Yu could say anything, Zhao Deyang took out a letter from his person.
Having experienced this thrilling battle, Zhao Deyang seemed to have suddenly come to understand many things.
"Li Yu, could you please deliver this letter to my daughter in Wucheng, Zhao Yue, on your way? Her address is on the envelope," Zhao Deyang said, handing over the letter.
"good..."
Without much thought, Li Yu simply reached out and took the letter from Zhao Deyang, silently putting it away.
Whatever the reason, this general from Zhongzhou had been helping him fight against the Shadow Lord, and now he had even promoted him to the rank of commander.
He couldn't very well refuse something so small.
And it's just on the way, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Seeing Li Yu agree so readily, Zhao Deyang smiled and, with Wang Li's help and the soldiers' escort, turned around and boarded the plane that had been waiting for a long time.
"Li Yu, I didn't bring my game console this time. Can you help me pass it next time?" Wang Tianzhao gestured with his chin towards Li Yu.
"Uh...no problem." Li Yu could only nod in response. He still didn't understand what was so fun about that box.
Wang Tianzhao also turned around and followed Zhao Deyang onto the plane.
Just then, Xu Lin, who was about to board the plane, suddenly shouted loudly:
"Li Yu".
Li Yu looked up at the sound and saw Xu Lin staring intently at her.
At this moment, Li Yu rode a tall and majestic black steed, looking heroic and awe-inspiring, as if he were a peerless general who had traveled from ancient times.
Xu Lin's eyes almost lit up. This breathtaking scene was like a stunning photograph, and he quickly memorized Li Yu's current image.
He fiercely slew the Shadow Lord, turned the tide, and successfully defended the Central Plains!
Xu Lin's mind raced, and these words came to mind instantly.
The Central Plains are now rife with chaos and turmoil, and there is a great need to create an inspiring hero.
In Xu Lin's view, Li Yu was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!
The thought of this filled Xu Lin with overwhelming emotions that he could hardly contain.
Xu Lin made up his mind that he had to talk to his father when he got back. He was determined to make Li Yu's name resound throughout Zhongzhou, and by the way, he, Xu Lin, would also be included!
Suddenly, Xu Lin, filled with emotion, solemnly assured Li Yu:
"Li Yu! Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
After Xu Lin finished speaking, he patted his chest hard, making two "thump" sounds, symbolizing his promise to Li Yu!
After saying that, Xu Lin seemed to have taken on a great mission, and turned around excitedly to board the plane.
Li Yu: "......"
Li Yu was completely bewildered by Xu Lin's baffling words.
He stared blankly at Xu Lin's departing figure, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Li Yu turned to look at Ma Yuanbai, who was the more intelligent one behind him, with a puzzled expression. Perhaps he could see something.
When Ma Yuanbai saw Li Yu looking at him, he spread his hands, looking completely confused. He didn't understand what Xu Lin was talking about at all.
However, Ma Yuanbai could always vaguely sense that Xu Lin seemed to have some subtle similarities with himself.
But for a moment he couldn’t find a similar reason.
After Zhao Deyang and the others boarded the helicopter, the engine roared as it gradually ascended into the sky and eventually disappeared into the distance.
The scene quickly quieted down, leaving only Li Yu's team and Lu Fan.
Thanks to his incredibly powerful regenerative abilities, Lu Fan's body has fully recovered and looks exactly the same as when he first arrived.
The marble in Lu Fan's hand glowed slightly, suggesting that he hadn't used his full strength in the previous battle and might even have been holding back.
At this moment, Lu Fan walked directly towards Li Yu.
In Lu Fan's heart, he didn't care about Wang Tianzhao becoming the general's apprentice; he didn't even take it seriously.
He also didn't think Wang Tianzhao would be his opponent after becoming his disciple.
He completely looked down on Wang Tianzhao's light-based talent.
Now that he is truly going to have a life-or-death battle with Wang Tianzhao, he fears that even if Wang Tianzhao exhausts his supernatural powers, he will ultimately be unable to kill him.
Lu Fan looked at Li Yu seriously, still somewhat wary of her special abilities.
After careful observation, Lu Fan has completely understood the principle behind Li Yu's superpower.
Li Yu possesses a legendary causal ability, which is extremely rare and its operating principle is completely different from theirs.
Looking at Li Yu's current weak state, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
His cautious nature brought back the idea of getting rid of Li Yu that he had thought of before.
