Chapter 682 -652: Madwoman’s Military Training (Part 3)
Everyone’s hearts tightened, their gazes absolutely dared not meet Lin Xiaosu’s.
Because everyone was clever, they knew very well that if they were singled out, they would be cannon fodder, with no chance of survival.
Three thousand Town level soldiers, going to Jiangnan to suppress eighty-one thousand-year-old or even ten-thousand-year-old sects, what a joke?
Lin Xiaosu raised a hand: “Seventh squad! It’s you!”
Hong Bin’s entire body trembled suddenly, he lifted his gaze and saw the finger that made his heart quake.
Lin Xiaosu’s finger pointed straight at him.
“Sir…” Hong Bin’s lips were trembling.
“What? You dare defy orders?” Lin Xiaosu’s face darkened.
Hong Bin stood upright: “I dare not, sir! I only wish… to inform you, sir, that the seventh squad under my command has been compromised by the Vice Envoy, and has less than three thousand warriors, their combat strength is inferior to the other squads, I fear it will hinder Your Majesty’s grand plan.”
“No matter!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Better a crack troop of two thousand than a weak army of ten thousand, this is my path of using soldiers, your troops, forged by the Vice Envoy Kuang Lang with iron and blood, surely will not disappoint me.”
Damn!
At this moment, Hong Bin’s mind was racing with a thousand llamas roaring.
Again the Vice Envoy, Kuang Lang you dog, you must intend to kill this General…
“Except for the seventh squad, all other squads are dismissed!” Lin Xiaosu said.
The commanders and vice envoys of the remaining twenty-six armies bow to the high stage, turn as one, and walk out again with the deadly steps of soldiers, leaving only the seventh commander Hong Bin standing dazed on the spot.
Watching his colleagues retreat like a flood, he felt as if the waves were crashing over him, leaving him to die on the sands.
The generals retreated, but the shadow at the door remained.
Lin Xiaosu raised his gaze and saw an exceptionally tall figure.
This was a female general, over ten meters tall!
Her waist as thick as an ancient tree, her feet easily covering ten tiles, her chest, high and protruding like a hill, her face pitted and pockmarked, each pit could roughly hold a dumpling.
On her face, a half-iron mask covered her left face.
Though this mask is only half-length, if it fell, it would unquestionably kill an adult.
Lin Xiaosu stared blankly at her, are you from the giant race?
“Naming the seventh squad to set out, this lady has no objection, but I ask to agree to one condition!” The female general’s voice boomed throughout the hall.
Lei Tianlun’s gaze turned to Lin Xiaosu: “Mr. Li, this is the Vice Envoy Kuang Lang of the seventh squad.”
“What condition?” Lin Xiaosu asked.
“In training my soldiers, no one is allowed to interfere. Please remember, sir, I mean… anyone!”
Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: “Including what General Hong just mentioned, throwing all the soldiers into the Reverse Flow Pond?”
“Precisely!” Kuang Lang said, “If you agree, sir, this lady would immediately…”
“Disagree!” Lin Xiaosu directly interrupted.
Kuang Lang’s voice immediately stopped, coldly staring at him.
“Training soldiers certainly should involve sweat, but there’s also a method to it, what you’re doing isn’t training, it’s pure madness!” Lin Xiaosu said, “The true way of training soldiers is about moderation, not excess!”
Kuang Lang turned directly away: “Another damn pretty boy! This aunt won’t serve you anymore…”
“Insolence!” shouted the Master of the Military Hall, Li Yafu, “Do you have no manners? Apologize to Mr. Li! Immediately!”
Though Kuang Lang feared nothing, when the Master of the Military Hall shouted, she was a bit intimidated, turned back, clasped her hands together, and raised them as a gesture of apology.
Lin Xiaosu laughed: “Military folks, bold and straightforward they are, verbal spats mean nothing, but you, lady, must understand two principles: first, this matter is not for you to bargain, you must accompany me on this journey, otherwise, you are defying orders!”
Kuang Lang exhaled a breath to the sky, the hall ceiling over ten meters high, as if a gust of wind arose.
This gust of wind represented the vexation in her heart.
Lin Xiaosu said: “Secondly, your way of using soldiers is too narrow, you think by training soldiers relentlessly, you can achieve unparalleled combat power? Wrong, war is not about single combat, it is about teamwork, a team well-used tactically will beat your military path a thousand times over, follow me, and I will show you what true martial path is!”
“Martial path… you understand?” Four words floated down from above.
“Insolence…” The Master of the Military Hall was furious again, almost wishing to pull over her mother and scold her a hundred times, what kind of illegitimate daughter is this, always causing me trouble.
Lin Xiaosu raised a hand, stopping the Master of the Military Hall: “Understand or not, one battle will reveal all! I give you both commanders three days to prepare, after three days, accompany me to Jiangnan!”
He turned and left.
Kuang Lang gazed upward at the very close hall ceiling, absolutely not looking at him.
Hong Bin stood there disheartened, even forgot basic manners for a moment.
The Master of the Military Hall was furious internally, but luckily he understood decorum, quickly came over to apologize.
Zhen Heaven Pavilion Master Lei Tianlun’s eyes flickered, as if full of thoughts, only when Lin Xiaosu bid him farewell did he awaken: “Mr. Li, a mere Town level squad is far too distant from Mr. Li’s goal, would it not be better for the Zhen Heaven Pavilion to send several experts to accompany you on your journey?”
Qing Ying’s eyes lit up.
A strand of sound entered Lin Xiaosu’s ear: “Sir, you could ask him for the Heavenly Pavilion Four Elders.”
The Heavenly Pavilion Four Elders, they are masters of the Realm of Mastery, secluded for many years, unknown to outsiders, but Qing Ying knew, her knowledge not from the Heart Pavilion, but learned from the mouth of her deceased father.
