Additional rewards can be obtained based on the completion of the task, and the additional rewards will be issued immediately when the task is completed.

As a result, every tourist received a notification from the gathering place. The final battle is about to begin, and tourists also need to know how they should leave the scene.

"...Survival and hunting." Yuchi Long's face was solemn. The requirements of the overall mission were too obvious. There was no other possibility. The appearance of these two at the same time meant high difficulty.

"It only takes thirty days..." Jiang Yao almost stayed awake all night. She held a piece of news from the capital in her hand. The impact on the current situation was still unpredictable, but Jiang Yao did not think it was good news.

Li Duanyu also learned the news. Li Zhuoyu suddenly launched an attack, and Pei Yingfu began to retreat from the court, claiming illness all day and not going out. Now, the entire capital has become Li Zhuoyu's one-man show, and the officials who were purged were quickly replaced by newly promoted officials and new people drawn from the Imperial Academy. The court has become much more stable than before.

But this was only the surface situation. Li Duanyu learned from some people in the underworld that many people were dissatisfied with Li Zhuoyu's tough methods and began to hire some killers to kill him. Among these people, there were some wealthy families, and some had already offered a reward to Tiemianlou.

In such a situation, how long can Li Zhuoyu hold out? Once he dies, the chaos in the court may only be stabilized by Pei Yingfu, after all, it is impossible for Grand Tutor Qin to return to the capital at this moment. But Pei Yingfu's situation may not be false. After the battle of Xingyin, the prime minister probably also had the idea of ​​retiring.

Even if there are loyal ministers and brave generals to prolong the life of the dynasty, how long can this crumbling country be supported?
Li Duanyu saw Ning Ke, who was sitting on a stool outside a tea shop. He looked a little tired. Perhaps he had just spent another night dealing with the phenomenon of returning to the origin, or perhaps... he had just been through a battle that was enough to consume his energy.

He did not bother the other party, but walked towards a secret gathering point in the city. Since the garrison troops in Guanyuan were strong enough, unlike Gouchen and Lingjiang, there was no need to classify the people from the underworld who entered the city. As long as they passed the investigation and did not affect the order in the city, the people from the underworld did not need to join the army.

With Li Duanyu's ability, he quickly found the group of people from the underworld here. They were not used to the strict orders in the military camp, but they still wanted to defend their country, so they formed such a volunteer army. On the front battlefield, these scattered soldiers were not very useful, but when it came to doing other things, these people from the underworld had many ideas and methods.

The secret gathering point was just a secret. Li Duanyu had no doubt that this place was still under the attention of the Guanyuan garrison. At this time, there were only a hundred people gathered here, some of whom were famous in the martial arts world, and some were unknown. When Li Duanyu walked in, he saw that the three leaders here were all there.

The big boss is a man who does not reveal his name. This organization can be built up because of his recruitment and management. His martial arts may only be considered average among these people, but his other skills are the best here. Now he is sitting in the yard with an abacus, carefully calculating the accounts in the account book as usual.

Meng Lianhe is a master of both medicine and martial arts, with both moral integrity and talent. With his skills, he would be valued even if he joined the army, but he still came here to serve as the leader. If there is a shortcoming, it is that he is a little old. At around fifty years old, he is already past his prime. Even if the people in the martial arts world are strong, they are far less energetic than young people. He is still treating the wounded in the house.

The last Taoist named Wu Guan had a mysterious origin. He had good Taoist skills and martial arts, but he usually just sat in the house and meditated, occasionally making some pills, and didn't talk to anyone except the boss. But Li Duanyu could see that this person just didn't like talking to people.

"Boss." Li Duanyu said to the person who was reconciling the accounts.

"Ah... Mr. Li." The big boss raised his head and smiled, "How have you seen the city these days? The demon's declaration of war a few days ago was really..."

"The demon's declaration of war is probably not false." Li Duanyu sat down in front of him and whispered, "Although the city still maintains a certain order, it is because Guan Yuan has sufficient military strength and people have enough confidence in Qin Taishi."

"Isn't that natural?"

"Confidence built on a specific person will also dissipate when that person disappears. Boss, I think you understand this."

The big boss smiled bitterly.

These days they have also been exposed to some things related to demons, and the more they are exposed, the more they can feel the gap between demons and humans in terms of talent. To put it bluntly, these people in the martial arts world are just slightly stronger soldiers. It is because of this understanding that the big boss forced Wu Guan to join.

This is exactly the manifestation of ordinary people's lack of sufficient knowledge of the war with demons. Although it is no secret to some people that the opponent they are fighting is a demon, they don't have much knowledge of what a demon is. People like the big boss are already good. "I have seen Guanyuan City. Although this city is strong, it is not impeccable. Because of this, I did not join the Wei army... because it doesn't mean much." Li Duanyu took out an old iron plate and handed it to the big boss, "Big boss is knowledgeable, do you recognize it?"

After the big boss took it, he was slightly stunned, and then looked at Li Duanyu suspiciously: "Monster catcher?"

"Yes, I'm here to help you."

Zhao Yuqiao was one of the few tourists who didn't worry about himself at all. After all, he was a doctor, and he didn't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. As long as he made enough medicine and treated a few key people, he would be protected like a treasure - it was easy.

Even though the newly released mission hinted that the defense of the three cities might be difficult, or even that one of the cities might fall, he was not worried at all. Instead, he was more curious about who made the decision so late that the mission was sent out so late.

"Ha, but why do I feel the smell of disinfectant from our section chief floating in the air..."

He walked into an independent courtyard near the Lingce Camp. Of course, someone of Lu Ning's status could have his own residence, and now this was where Lu Ning and his subordinates' relatives and friends were accommodated. The courtyard was large, and under Gou Chen's strict control, no one could come in casually, so it was very safe.

"Morning, Miss Lou."

In the courtyard, Jinbao, Yinbao and some young boys were sitting neatly inside. The younger ones were tracing the words on the copybook, while the older ones were reading books stumblingly. Even Zhao Yuqiao was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and felt quite emotional.

Lou Lingzhu spread out writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on a small desk, and placed a large basket of books she brought with her at her feet. Compared to when Zhao Yuqiao first met her at Zhenjian Villa, she was more enthusiastic now.

"Mr. Zhao." Lou Lingzhu looked up and saw Zhao Yuqiao, raised her hand and saluted, then glanced at the children who were reading and practicing calligraphy. Zhao Yuqiao smiled slightly, waved to the children who looked over curiously, and then walked over to Lou Lingzhu.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you here?" Lou Lingzhu asked.

"The war is imminent, and I couldn't sleep because I was worried. I decided to walk around. I didn't expect that Miss Lou would open a place for teaching in this military camp."

"You're too kind. I'm not good at teaching. It's just that these children here can't get guidance from famous teachers. At least knowing a few words is an additional skill." Lou Lingzhu shook his head slightly.

Zhao Yuqiao smiled and said, "I am quite surprised that Miss Rilou wants to stay here. You are neither a soldier nor a martial artist. If you stay here, you will be no different from ordinary civilians. War is cruel. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of life and death."

"Sir, you are wrong. The disciples of Zhixing Valley knew that there would be such a battle, but they fled in the face of it. This is a betrayal of the purpose of their sect." Lou Lingzhu replied.

"That's admirable, but to be honest, if the girl died in the war, wouldn't there be nothing recorded?"

"Someone will continue to write." Lou Lingzhu said, "Even if Mr. Zhao tries to persuade me, it will be useless. If I don't even dare to record such an important event, I won't be worthy of being called the successor of Zhixing Valley."

Zhao Yuqiao had no choice but to nod.

"However, the meeting that day also made me realize that I didn't know enough about the world's major events. Although I knew a little about demons in the past, I didn't expect that there were so many strange things in the world. Even those hidden in the homes of famous families are not recorded in detail in Zhixing Valley. Your experience may be a hundred times more exciting than what I have seen."

"Hey...you don't want me to..."

"After this war, the world will change, and the situation where people were previously unaware of demons and various strange things will be broken. I think I should record all the strange things that you have experienced, as far as I can, for future generations to refer to..."

As she spoke, the usually calm girl actually became a little excited. She picked up the brush that she had just dipped in ink and wrote a row of neat words on the right side of the first piece of paper.

"I just thought of this yesterday, and I want to sort out the outline today. Recently, it has been rumored in the city that this battle will be the Battle of the Great Wilderness, which will determine the rise and fall of monsters and humans. Since it starts from this, I will name it this way--"

"The Great Wilderness Strange Book?" Zhao Yuqiao read out the words on the paper. "Leave it for future generations to refer to? It would be a good story. Then I will tell you what I have seen..."

Zhao Yuqiao was just about to tell a story about his experience when he suddenly sensed something. He turned around and found that the group of children, both adults and children, had gathered around him.

Indeed, the appeal of the story is much greater than reading and writing. A group of children looked at Lou Lingzhu with eager eyes, and Lou Lingzhu could only sigh.

"Write it down, kids, write it down... This is not my book, this is our book."

The children cheered.

Three days later, Lu Ning led the army back to Gou Chen.

The training this time was quite effective. The soldiers she selected finally had a tacit understanding of each other, and they would no longer lose their positions easily during attack and defense. However, for Lu Ning herself, she did not improve much. The high resonance of the ice formation could bring her some benefits, but it also brought corresponding responsibilities. Even if Lu Ning became a leader, she was still not used to team combat.

She knew this was her problem.

The final mission of this scene is obviously not easy. The 30-day survival period means that the pressure of the early war will be very high, and she probably won't be able to rest. Lu Ning did not participate in the frontal battlefield in the battle of Yingyin, but this time, she has no choice.

Even so, she was still somewhat surprised when she saw that her yard had become a small private school. Lu Ning also supported Lou Lingzhu's idea - perhaps the name could not be passed down as a legend, but if this book could be passed down to future generations in this scene, it would not be a wasted trip.

So, she also handed the Yin Shuai Tu to Lou Lingzhu. She originally thought that this thing was of no use, but now it seems that it can play a role in the final mission.

Seven days before the beginning of summer, Qin Luo issued a call for all generals, both big and small, to go to the military training ground and await deployment.
