Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 367: Autumn Training
In the lush, leaf-shaded forest, a huge army was slowly moving like a black wave towards the nearby mountains that looked like a demon with its mouth wide open.

'One hundred thousand troops.'

Li Rui rode on horseback in the middle of the team.

A total of 100,000 troops were mobilized for this military exercise.

of course.

This was used for external propaganda. In fact, the army belonging to Annan Town was no more than 10,000 people.

The others were conscripted laborers and logistics troops.

These are the bulk of the military.

Ten people support one soldier, that's no joke.

Warriors are also human beings and they still need to eat. Anyone who has fought in a war knows that food and supplies must be sent before troops move out, and food and supplies are the bulk of the expenses.

One hundred thousand civilians and ten thousand soldiers is not excessive at all.

This time, we even saved 10,000 civilians.

Li Rui glanced at the large number of civilians following the army, then turned his head away.

At this time.

Ning Zhongtian came to Li Rui's side.

"Brother, I heard that there will be a lot of military merits to be earned in this training. I will definitely be able to make a breakthrough this time."

He looked eager to try.

Although it was just military training, Zhou Dinghai's effort was not small. The training was equivalent to actual combat, and the military merits would not be reduced at all.

Not to mention those little brats below, even an officer like Ning Zhongtian couldn't hold himself back.

They all cried out to slay the demons and monsters.

Meeting an admiral like Zhou Dinghai who is willing to invest, morale is naturally high.

"I heard that General Zhou was very good at training soldiers when he was fighting against the sea tribe in Jiangnan. Many generals of the Yu Kingdom came from General Zhou's command."

Of course, we will give you enough when you have to risk your life.

Ordinary soldiers only need to charge forward, but higher-level officials like Li Rui have to think more.

There is no point in killing one or two monsters.

What they want is a big strategic victory.

That's the right way to get promoted.

If his subordinates killed the monster, it would be equivalent to him killing it, so why bother fighting for his life?

Li Rui: "You are already in your forties, don't be reckless anymore."

"Yes."

Ning Zhongtian scratched his head.

In Li Rui's opinion, military merit or not is not important at all. Even if Ning Zhongtian only killed one monster, he could have the merit of killing ten monsters. The key is not to die.

Military training is also a battlefield, and swords have no eyes.

Every time the Northwest Army trained, there were many casualties.

A march of 100,000 troops certainly cannot be fast.

It took three full days of walking before we finally arrived at the foot of Shiwan Mountain.

The Shiwan Mountains are the boundary between the Yu and Wu countries. Most of them are within the territory of the Wu country, and only a small part is in the Yu country.

The target of this military training in Annan Town.

It is the monster in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Yu State.

Of course, if any unlucky disciple of the Purple Gold Palace happened to be bumped into, he would be treated as a demon and killed.

Not long after.

There were rows of military camps at the foot of the mountain.

Of course, ordinary soldiers were crowded in one tent, which was considered a good treatment.

The treatment of civilians is even worse.

There are often more than a dozen people in one tent.

Of course, compared with the Northwest Frontier Army, these are already much better.

Just look at Tan Hu's appearance and you will know.

As for the treatment of Admiral Zhou, General Xue and others, it was of course different. They all lived in a small courtyard inside the Qinghe enclosure.

These were all planned in advance.

Ordinary soldiers can endure hardships during military training, but there is no need to let the bigwigs suffer.

As a deputy general, Li Rui was also assigned a medium-sized yard in the Qinghe enclosure, which was much better than the crowded tents outside.

After three days of rest on the spot.

Each garrison was responsible for an area and began to clear out the monsters in the Shiwan Mountains.

Which health institution can complete it first.

Is to win the championship.

The whole army will be rewarded.

The guards were secretly competing with each other, and the same was true for the four deputy generals.

If the guards under his command could win the championship, he would be able to show off his reputation in front of Admiral Zhou and would definitely have priority in future promotions.

At their level, everyone knows that promotion is not something that can be achieved overnight.

It is the result of accumulation.

How to accumulate is just to show up in front of your boss again and again.

"Which guard station will win this time?"

Zhou Dinghai held the sword at his waist with his hands, and looked at the troops going up the mountain with a majestic posture.

Xue Gui smiled slightly and said, "Let these little brats run wild for a while."

The two spoke calmly.

But the several deputy generals behind him were already competing secretly.

Nie Siming stood with Li Rui: "Brother Li, do you think An Ningwei can win the championship?"

"Winning the championship?"

"Let's keep the second place and fight for the first place."

Nie Siming raised his eyebrows: "Brother Li is so confident?"

"I heard that many good players came from Jiannan Town and Huaidong Town."

Annan Town was not the strongest among the 32 military towns in the world at the beginning, and was weaker than Jiannan and Huaidong Towns.

If it weren’t for the Zijin Palace, perhaps Annan Town would never have become so big.

Those guards who came from other places have always disliked the native An Ningwei.

He always wants to be the best in everything.

"Could it be that he has some backup plan?"

After all, Li Rui has done many unexpected things many times.

Just when he was curious.

Li Rui gave a strange answer: "Who said I was competing for first place?"

"Not first?" Nie Siming's face froze.

I quickly realized that Li Rui was competing for the second to last place.

"Brother Li is still open-minded."

He glanced again at the three deputy generals and generals with miscellaneous titles who were secretly competing with each other, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

the first?

People must first have self-knowledge.

Li Rui knew very well the strength of An Ning Wei.

He is not a god, so how can he make a guard become stronger instantly?

Since it's impossible.

Just be more open-minded. Why bother competing with others? Just do your own thing.

Even if he is the last one, can it still have an impact on him as a guest of Gu Changsheng, the elder brother of Jiang Linxian, and the retainer of Lord Yuan?
of course not.

Since you don't know how to do it, why bother arguing about it?

If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate.

At this time, Yuan Xiong said: "Let's go and see what these guys are like."

Done.

Li Rui, Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong headed towards Shiwan Mountain.

The same was true for the other deputy generals.

Their presence was to ensure that this military training would not cause any major chaos.

Deep in the Shiwan Mountains, on top of a undulating hill.

The Blood Shadow Ancestor narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the bright light reflected from the soldiers' swords in the mountains and forests.

"Annan Town"

He spoke in a low voice.

How could he not know about such a big commotion in Annan Town?

Training?

It's obvious that he doesn't take the Purple Gold Palace seriously!
"Damn the Yu people."

First there was the hatred of the destruction of the country, and then there was the hatred of humiliation. How could I endure this?

Just as the Blood Shadow Ancestor was thinking.

There were footsteps behind me.

Turned his head.

He saw a man and a woman walking slowly towards him. They were the two Taoist children collected by Si Feng, the Palace Master of Zijin Palace.

This man and woman followed Si Feng to practice.

Now his appearance has changed a lot, and he even has a bit more immortal aura.

The man holds a jade ruyi in his hand, and a small jade sword flies around the woman's body.

Magic weapon!

Taoist Blood Shadow certainly knew that this was the immortal sect magic weapon bestowed upon the two of them by Si Feng, and it was extremely powerful.

"Ancestor."

The man and woman bowed respectfully to the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

Ancestor Blood Shadow nodded casually:

"Take your men to keep an eye on these Yu people. If they dare to step into the territory of my Purple Gold Palace,

"kill!"

There seemed to be mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the eyes of the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

The man and woman responded in unison: "Yes!"

Say it.

The Blood Shadow Ancestor turned and left.

Only one man and one woman were left there.

After the Blood Shadow Ancestor had completely left, the man spoke up, "Junior Sister Zhu, I heard that Li Rui, who the Palace Master often mentioned, has also come to Shiwan Mountain."

Zhu Yun looked at his senior brother Qi Tong, whose eyes were shining with excitement, and a flash of worry appeared in his eyes:

"Brother, our ancestor told us not to cause any trouble in the territory of Yu State."

Qi Tong raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I know what I'm doing."

'most.'

Zhu Yun lowered his head and stopped talking.

Qi Tong is different from her. He is a member of the Qi family, and was chosen by the Blood Shadow Ancestor to be the Palace Master's Taoist child.

Of course he is cautious and humble in front of the Palace Master, but he himself is actually a person who loves to show off.

'It's just luck.'

Zhu Yun thought about it in her mind, and then she stopped caring.

The figure disappeared into the depths of the forest.

In the mountains and forests.

A team of more than 30 soldiers were surrounding a red-haired jackal with swords and spears. If someone was injured, they would be dragged away in time and would not die.

In the bushes not far away.

The three of them stood on a tree branch, and there was no sign of it being broken.

"That's right. You remain calm in times of crisis and attack and defend in an orderly manner."

Nie Siming nodded.

I am quite satisfied with the performance of the An Ning Guard soldiers below.

The Red Flame Wolf has the strength of a peak sixth-grade warrior. It is already quite remarkable that Lu Jun, a guard at the early sixth-grade, can force it back with dozens of people. And it seems that killing it will not be a problem.

Yuan Xiong also praised: "Not bad."

Li Rui did not speak.

But he also nodded secretly. Since his last defeat, Lu Jun has been improving, especially in leading troops.

Just when the Red Flame Wolf was about to be forced into a desperate situation.

suddenly!

The ground began to shake slightly.

A deafening roar of a beast seemed to awaken the entire Ten Thousand Mountains.

Howling wolves and roaring tigers.
Suddenly, I felt like I was surrounded by wild beasts.

Nie Siming's expression suddenly became solemn, and he stared at the black wave that appeared not far away.

"Oops."

"It's a demon tide!"
