I forged immortality in my past life.

"My lord, didn't you promise to spare my life?"

The grain transport official was bound again, and when he saw Li Wu Hui, who had a hostile look in his eyes, approaching, he was terrified.

"I was just saying I'd consider sparing your life."

Li Wu Hui chuckled and asked casually:

"Besides, aren't you still hiding a secret?"

"Sir, have mercy!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you right now!"

The grain transport official's expression changed, and he spat out words like a machine gun.

Could there be any unexpected gains?

Li Wuhui's heart stirred, and he waved his hand, signaling Gao Mingyue to hold back her actions.

"My lord, I did not mean to hide it. I thought you would capture that level 4 soldier from the outer sect and find out the reason for this matter from him."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Wu Hui frowned.

"Yes, it was the audacious Level 4 soldiers of the outer sect who, for the sake of exorbitant profits, took the risk and sold embezzled military rations to the Emperor's vanguard!"

"I originally objected, but they had something on me, so I couldn't resist. Later, they even figured out the movement patterns of the Taoist grain transport teams."

The grain transport team's movement patterns have been figured out!

Li Wu Hui's heart tightened; this was no good.

The movement patterns of the grain transport convoy are determined by the rest schedules of the warhorses and the weight of the grain they carry; these cannot be adjusted arbitrarily in a short period of time.

Most importantly, the number of times the Taoist army's food supplies were robbed did not increase significantly.

This could not possibly be due to the vanguard failing to obtain intelligence; it could only be a strategic deployment!

The Emperor's vanguard may have already taken full account of the movements of many supply convoys, waiting only for the right moment to completely cut off all the supplies at the front and wipe out the front-line troops under the greatest pressure of the war!

The decline of Taoism is already evident!

Li Wu Hui sighed inwardly. The interdimensional conscription was not always a war between equals.

Clearly, he was unlucky enough to be matched with a disadvantageous faction.

"However, this is both a crisis and an opportunity."

"Having learned of this news, I've assembled another 1,000-strong elite Tier 2 force to prepare for a counterattack. If we're lucky, we might be able to gain a lot of military merits!"

An idea gradually formed in Li Wu Hui's mind.

Travel light and simply to lure the enemy!

Only half of the original amount of grain was transported. Half of the 1,000 elite Level 2 soldiers were hidden in the grain wagons, leaving only 500 elite soldiers to transport the grain, and the army marched quickly to avoid detection.

If the enemy is intelligent, they should know that the corrupt Taoist grain transport official has been brought down, and the new grain transport official is trying a new grain transport rhythm. Once successful, the intelligence obtained before will be useless.

Therefore, the Emperor's Vanguard Army will most likely try to intensify its efforts to seize grain, forcing the Taoist grain transport teams to revert to their original transport rhythm, allowing them to continue their previous plans.

Even if they didn't exchange the grain back, their act of robbing the grain was still justified.

And this might be my chance!

Li Wu Hui's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the grain transport officer with his right hand, making a throat-slitting gesture.

Gao Mingyue understood and drew her longsword.

choke!

"Sir, you promised to spare my life!"

"You can't break your promise!"

The grain transport official's face twitched, and he looked at Li Wu Hui with a pleading expression.

"Didn't I just refrain from killing you?"

Li Wu Hui revealed a calm smile.

"Damn it! I've begged for mercy like this, even if you have to raid my house, can't you just let me go?!"

"You untrustworthy scoundrel! You hypocrite!"

puff!

A swift dagger pierced the neck of the grain transport official.

Gao Mingyue drew her longsword, and her entire demeanor became much colder, as if she had instantly transformed from a classical beauty into a decisive and ruthless swordswoman.

【Gao Mingyue】

[Level 3 Messenger Taoist (10/100)]

The name of the messenger girl's unit has been changed.

Li Wuhui discovered that Gao Mingyue's experience bar for leveling up was still very short.

With such high talent, it's a real shame she's not my helper.

Li Wu Hui walked to Gao Mingyue's side and noticed that the girl's right hand was trembling slightly, but she still tried to remain calm.

The first killing was still somewhat shocking for this young girl who had been carefully raised and nurtured by the Taoist sect.

However, Li Wu Hui was not prepared to comfort her.

"Did you see that?"

What do you see?

The body of the grain transport official?

Gao Mingyue looked at Li Wuhui with confusion.

The latter, however, revealed a malicious, mocking smile:

"An enemy who begs for your life is a master of feigning helplessness. Once you ultimately decide to kill him, he'll make up for all the groveling he did before!"

"Therefore, you must never show mercy when facing an enemy."

Gao Mingyue paused for a moment before voicing the thought that had popped into her mind.

"Highly perceptive!"

Li Wuhui nodded approvingly.

Gao Mingyue immediately smiled brightly, cupped her hands, and embraced her sword:

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Li. Mingyue wishes to undertake a great undertaking with you, and we humbly request your permission!"

[A high-potential target has been detected with a loyalty level exceeding 80 points, and this entity has mastered the Legion skill – Level 3 Messenger: Your command transmission efficiency +100%, and the command execution rate of your troops +30%.]

Your legion's combat power boost attribute has been unlocked.

[Current Legion Combat Power Increase: 20%]

Li Wu Hui suddenly felt a jolt in his body, as if he had become more powerful.

However, it seems that the increase in his own strength was less than 20%.

At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on him.

That's why the legions didn't assemble.

As the strongest Tier 4 commander, he can only receive the full 20% combat power boost when he is supported by a 1,000 Tier 2 troops at any time; otherwise, the boost will be reduced by more than half.

"Is this what they call the power of military might and martial arts?"

Li Wuhui marveled at the changes in herself; her high school tutor had taught her about this.

However, it seems that the recruiter who first triggered the legion's boost was an officer who killed over 10,000 enemies in the martial arts world and lived and worked with his troops for several months before obtaining the 50% boost to his legion's strength.

So it's possible to obtain them even in a low-level martial arts world.

The growth rate was just a little low.

wrong.

Li Wu Hui shook his head and looked at Gao Mingyue, who was still respectfully holding her sword.

This must be thanks to the girl in front of me.

Those who can learn Legion skills, whether they are from other worlds or from the Star Sea, are extremely rare, perhaps one in ten million.

As for someone like Gao Mingyue, who has never participated in the war and can gain control simply by killing someone, I've never heard of such a thing.

Such talent should not be missed!

"Gao Mingyue, I'd love for you to fight alongside me."

Li Wu Hui smiled and patted the girl's head.

"You will serve as my messenger adjutant. After this battle, I will recommend all the soldiers for commendation. I look forward to your performance."

"Yes, Elder Li."

Gao Mingyue looked at the dashing man in front of her, her face slightly flushed.

Looking at the girl's shy expression.

Li Wu Hui found it amusing and couldn't help but tease him again.

"What do you think about taking up a post in the military, Lieutenant Mingyue?"

"Yes, General Wu Hui."

Gao Mingyue sheathed her sword, raised her head high, and replied loudly.

Great, very energetic!

Li Wu Hui nodded.

The Level 3 grain transport officer is dead, along with 16 accomplices who were involved in embezzlement, 12 Level 2 elite grain transport officers, 3 Level 3 traitors from the Daoist sect, and 1 Level 3 traitor from the outer sect.

These kills should be given to Gao Mingyue; even though they could help her level up, they shouldn't be given to her.

The saying goes, "One should not accept rewards without merit!"

Human hearts are fickle; this is not a virtual war game, but a living, breathing war in another world.

If the laws and regulations in the military are not strictly enforced, trouble will surely arise in the future.

I'll reap the experience myself.

Li Wu Hui's gaze turned cold.
