Krypton gold longevity: a hundred years of life at the beginning

Chapter 124: The Demonic Abyss moves, the demon-suppressing army expands
"The general has an order to prepare food at noon and break camp at noon."

"The general has an order..."

While Zhang Hua was checking where the carriages would be stored, Cheng Jinshan decided on the departure time as soon as he came back.

We had dinner around eleven o'clock and set off at one o'clock in the afternoon. Now it's almost seven o'clock. Given such a long rest time, it seems that they went out very early.

After muttering in his mind, Zhang Hua looked away from the map when he saw that the silver and jewelry had been registered and stored by Cheng Chuliang.

Don't rush now, wait until night, and then let Yinzi lead you to take action.

After thinking of a simple action plan, Zhang Hua suppressed the restlessness in his heart and leaned against the car to rest.

...

Town magic city.

The demon-suppressing army camp, the commander’s tent.

"Report..."

As soon as the messenger entered the camp, he handed over a secret letter and said: "Commander, there is an urgent secret letter from the Third Army."

Third Army!Did something happen to Moyuan?

Li Jiye frowned, and immediately said: "Bring it up."

"promise."

After receiving the secret letter from the personal guard and checking the seal, Li Jiye opened it and looked at it...

After a while.

"Come on."

"Master."

Li Jiye had not yet put down the secret letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately summon the generals of the army and above to come here to discuss the matter. Except for those on duty, no one shall be absent. If it is less than half an hour, military law will be engaged."

"promise."

After the soldiers left, Li Jiye read the contents of the secret letter again, and his expression became more solemn.

"Commander, in the early hours of this morning, the demonic energy above the Demonic Abyss began to surge and roll. A quarter of an hour later, before the general sent people to investigate, the demonic energy began to spread to the surrounding areas...

Preliminary investigation now shows that the intensity of the demonic energy is far higher than in previous years. Generally speaking, warriors who have not yet reached the level of a martial artist are in danger of becoming demonized for more than a quarter of an hour after entering the core position enveloped by the demonic energy...

The general is worried that this year's demonic wave may be launched in advance, or even be much larger than in previous years, and the Third Army may not be able to withstand it for too long. Therefore, the general asks the general to increase the garrison strength to solidify the defense line. "

The Demonic Abyss is moving. This year’s Demonic Wave may start earlier and be even larger...

After seeing this content, Li Jiye felt like someone had force-fed him a mouthful of Xiang...it was really disgusting.

Originally, according to the wishes of the imperial court, as soon as the reinforcements from the Shendu arrived, he would lead troops to suppress Mo Yuan in advance.

But now...the reinforcements are still on the way, and the demons actually predicted their actions and took advantage of them first.

Demon Abyss...Western Region...Suppressing Demon City.

It’s a bit difficult now!
...

Less than half an hour later.

Looking at the more than ten generals who had arrived in the tent, Li Jiye gave the secret letter to the personal guard and asked him to pass it on, saying: "You should read General Su's secret letter first. There is something strange in the Demon Abyss. This year's Demon The tide might be a little more troublesome.”

"The demon tide, isn't it only October now? Why is it coming so soon..."

"More than a month ahead of schedule, it seems that the demon clan has spent a lot of money!"

"Well, actually this is quite good. If we solve it early, maybe we can have a stable year this year."

"Tsk tsk... You're right. Ever since I came to Demon Town, I've almost forgotten what it's like to celebrate the New Year."

"Old Niu, come on! After all, you have spent many happy New Years in Shendu before. People like me who were born and raised in Demon City don't even know what the real Chinese New Year is like."

"In this way, it might be a good thing for the demonic tide to break out early..."

"Who said no..."

Seeing that the discussion among the generals was getting more and more skewed, they almost asked what arrangements should be made for the New Year... Li Jiye's face turned a little dark.

Special brew land, I am worried about how to deploy troops on the three fronts, but you are actually asking what should be done during the New Year to make it look festive!

I asked you to come to the camp to discuss this matter!There is no need for you to discuss this, you are a bunch of big guys who know nothing about arrangements!
No, it’s not just a bunch of rough guys, my granddaughter is here too!

Thinking of his granddaughter, Li Jiye turned his eyes and looked at Li Feiyan in the corner, who was wearing fiery red armor and looking at the secret letter without saying a word. Especially after seeing the mask covering the scars on the other person's face, he couldn't help but I felt a pain in my heart.

Speaking of which, my granddaughter was born in Zhenmo City. For more than 20 years, apart from occasionally visiting the Western Regions, she has never been to the bustling cities of Dawu. As for the Spring Festival, the most important festival of Dawu, I have never seen such a festive atmosphere...

Perhaps it’s time for this Demon Suppressing City and Demon Suppressing Army to have a truly festive New Year.

After having this idea in his mind, Li Jiye patted the table and said, "Just be quiet."

Kuang Rang~ After a sound of armor moving, the camp immediately became quiet.

Afterwards, Li Jiye said in a deep voice: "I just heard your thoughts. I thought about the Spring Festival... This is a good idea. I think we need to do a good job this year."

brush…

After hearing this, everyone looked at their commander, even Li Shouxin and Li Feiyan were not surprised.

They heard wrong just now!
What about Chinese New Year, Spring Festival... They were just talking casually to relieve the pressure caused by the secret letter. Who takes it seriously!

After all, the secret letter said that this time the demon tide may be far greater than before, coupled with the demon army that is spreading in the Western Region... With the current strength of the demon-suppressing army, they can already imagine the battle in the future. How tragic it would be.

Just like this... After a big battle, how can we celebrate the New Year happily without so many comrades!
Seeing everyone looking at him with weird expressions, Li Jiye was heartbroken and said: "Don't be weird, are you celebrating the New Year! Who doesn't want to?
As for Moyuan, Li is the leader. "

"The general is here." Li Shouxin stepped forward and responded.

Li Jiye: "Your First Army will be temporarily handed over to General Li Feiyan, and I will order you to select 1 troops from among the military households to form the Seventh Army."

"What... what?"

Li Shouxin suddenly raised his head after hearing this, with a hint of astonishment on his face.

To form the Seventh Army, the situation is far from reaching this point!Moreover, the strength of this seventh army is twice that of other armies!
Not only Li Shouxin was puzzled, but also the other generals' hearts sank. As senior generals of the Demon Suppression Army, they naturally knew the true strength of those military households.

Those people are all veterans of the Demon Suppressing Army, and they are also veterans who often fight in the Hengjue Mountains and have never relaxed. To be honest, as long as they become more familiar with the battle formations, with the same number of people, these people will be more effective than the current Suppressing Army. The demon army soldiers are still strong.

These people are said to be the reserve force of the Demon Suppressing Army, but they might as well be said to be a trump card. Now, is the commander going to reveal his trump card so soon?
Seeing that he and his son were so hesitant, Li Jiye was a little unhappy and said, "What, do you have any objections to my commander's order? Do you not want to hand over the First Army? Or do you not want to form the Seventh Army?"

"No, none." After coming back to his senses, Li Shouxin immediately responded: "I don't have any objections. I will accept my order."

"Hmph~ back off."

"promise."

After Li Shouxin retreated, Li Jiye said to everyone: "I know what you are thinking. Yes, the current situation is indeed not serious enough to require military expansion.

However, for some things, I'm afraid it will be too late by the time it gets to that point. Taking precautions now will only consume more food, grass and military pay, and is much more reliable than temporary recruitment.

Besides, don’t you want to celebrate the New Year!With more troops, we can finish the battle earlier. Otherwise, you still want to celebrate the New Year in the Demon Abyss like in previous years! "

So reluctant!
Yes, this explanation is too forced.

After hearing what Li Jiye said, everyone in the tent was secretly talking about their commander-in-chief.

If we increase the number of troops by [-], is it a matter of consuming some grain, grass, and wages?
Now the entire Demon Suppressing Army only has 3 troops. This alone, its military expenditure is equivalent to half of the entire Twelve Guards. If the Demon Suppressing City was not wealthy and most of its military expenses were raised by itself, the Ministry of Household Affairs would There had already been a commotion in the court.

Now that the troops have been increased by one-third at once, I don’t know what the court is thinking!

Among these people, probably only Li Shouxin, who knew the inside story, could calm down.

The previous surprise was just because the order to form the Seventh Army was too sudden and came much earlier than he expected.

However, if you think about it carefully, Mo Yuan has changed. Others still don't know that the imperial court has preempted the Western Region, and they don't know that the reinforcements coming this time are not the previous county soldiers, but the Twelve Guards... It seems that this is indeed a good time. Even though it's a bit abrupt, it makes sense.

After everyone digested this information, Li Jiye said again: "Okay, that's it for the time being with the Seventh Army. Next, let's talk about General Su's secret letter.

There are still many demons outside the city now, and we have to guard against the wandering demon armies in the Western Region. Therefore, even if Mo Yuan is right in front of us, the demon-suppressing army cannot be mobilized on a large scale before the seventh army is formed. The number of people going to support this time should not exceed 3000. Which of you is willing to pick someone to go and support first? "

Go to the Demon Abyss!
The reason why the Demon Suppressing Army is here is to keep an eye on the Demonic Abyss not far away. This can be seen from the names of "Demon Suppressing City" and "Demon Suppressing Army".

However, in addition to guarding Mo Yuan, the Demon Suppressing Army also has the responsibility of guarding the Dawu border. Therefore, not every soldier can go to Mo Yuan to garrison.

Compared with the demons outside, the demons in Mo Yuan are not only powerful but also more ferocious and violent thanks to the continuous flow of demonic energy.

In order to prevent being invaded by demonic energy, only those veterans with high psychological quality and strong willpower can be stationed at the edge of the demonic abyss. Others who are slightly inferior can only be stationed on the periphery. What's more, like those recruits who have just joined, they will basically He was left in the city to do some guard work.

However, it is precisely because not everyone is qualified for this task, so in the Demon Suppression Army, garrisoning the Demon Abyss is considered an honor by the soldiers.

Usually, apart from comparing whose martial arts cultivation is stronger, the most they compare is the duration and location of the Moyuan.

What, you said you were stationed on the periphery for a month, but I stayed at the edge of Moyuan for a week!

Even though we are both at the fourth level of martial arts cultivation, I am obviously better than you.

What, you haven't been to Mo Yuan... Then why are you chatting with us? The adults talk and the children stay aside.

There is such "comparison" not only among ordinary soldiers, but also among senior generals, and it is even more intense.

There are six legions of the Demon Suppressing Army. In addition to the full-time generals, each legion also has two deputy generals. Because they are in the same military camp and the Demon Suppressing City implements a military control system, these generals and deputy generals are in addition to their usual duties. Apart from military training, the greatest pleasure is to get together to practice martial arts, drink and eat meat...

Whenever they go to a lively place, they will brag about their impressive achievements in Moyuan, how long their legions have been stationed in Moyuan, and how brave and skillful their men are...

In such bragging, the first to be defeated must be the legion that has been stationed for the shortest time. After all, your legion only stayed in Moyuan for that short time, which was just for "walking around". How did it come about? What a fight, you know it's bragging as soon as you hear it.

...

In this way, although it was more dangerous to be stationed in the Demonic Abyss, once I heard that I could request orders to mobilize troops for support, the main tent suddenly became lively again.

Almost as soon as Li Jiye finished speaking, a general rushed out.

"Commander, the general is willing to go, so please ask him..."

"Xiao Wang, get out of my way." Another general with a mellow face knocked away the General Wang who had spoken before. He cupped his fists and cried to Li Jiye: "Commander, this time it is our Fourth Army's turn to garrison. You We can’t let them jump in line!”

"Fart, old Yu, you still have to be shameless, stationed in Moyuan, when did it take your turn?"

The first general couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out and said: "Commander, if you ask me, let us let the second army go. Now that the Moyuan is moving, a group of experienced soldiers are most needed to go there. At this time, we are the only ones who can go there." The second army is the most suitable.”

"Holy shit~ Lao Guo, it turns out you are the most shameless person here!"

"Commander, stay away from our Fifth Army!"

"Master..."

Seeing that a group of colleagues were so active, Li Feiyan in the corner couldn't hold back his fighting spirit.

As for the matter, when everyone was noisy, she felt something in her heart and secretly moved to the order table. Then she looked at Li Jiye who was pretending to be calm, pointed at Ling Jian and said:
"Commander, our Sixth Army has not been to the Demon Abyss a few times since its establishment. This time, it is our turn after all!"

"Don't think about it." Li Jiye shook his head and said, "Didn't I just ask you to take charge of the First Army? During this period, you should sort out the affairs of the First Army first, Mo Yuan Let others pass by."

"No, I would rather go to the Demon Abyss than the First Army."

Li Feiyan said firmly: "You know, compared to dealing with military affairs, I prefer to fight with demons at the front. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am now."

As Li Feiyan's voice gradually became louder, the other people arguing in the tent gradually became quiet.

Seeing that Li Feiyan was also rushing to go to Moyuan, all the generals tacitly agreed not to go up and cause trouble.

First of all, although Li Feiyan was powerful, she was the youngest. She was the niece they had watched grow up, and she was usually favored by everyone. They were a little embarrassed to compete with this eldest niece for this honor.

Furthermore, this eldest niece went out for a trip before, and when she came back, she had a scar on her face. Although she behaved as usual...but she was wearing a mask. What does this mean?
As a woman, she must be lying if she says she doesn't care about her appearance. The reason why Li Feiyan is acting so aggressively now is because she might want to go to the Moyuan to vent her anger!They don't need to go up and add to the block at this time.

Of course, the specific decision depends on the commander-in-chief. If the commander-in-chief insists on not giving up, it will not be too late for them to fight for this opportunity.

Seeing that no one was fighting for his granddaughter, Li Jiye was a little embarrassed.

Although I don't want her to let her go, but... forget it, this girl's personality is really similar to mine.

"Li Feiyan obeys the order."

"The end is here."

Li Jiye picked up a command sword from the command tube and said solemnly: "I order you to select 3000 troops from the First Army and the Sixth Army, and immediately go to Moyuan to support General Su. You must reach the Third Army station before dark. , there must be no mistake.”

"promise."
