In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The real reality is that the impact of one generation lasts for three generations.

At this stage, the ideas of the elderly and middle-aged people will not change easily... They are still in a hurry and afraid of the behemoth.

And this fear will continue and affect the third generation... The third generation may change, but to really achieve the level of not being afraid of the beast as the girl said, it will take at least three generations.

As for the other side... the leaders, they seemed even more naive.

"As time goes by, do you really think you can guarantee that your successor will have the same unwavering determination as you?"

"I've seen this happen many times. Originally good inheritances have been eroded beyond recognition by various events over time..."

"The slow ones can last for hundreds of years, but the fast ones may not even last ten years..."

"Your brother's ideas are too radical. I don't agree with them, but your ideas... are only slightly better than his. You're too conservative."

Maria shook her head slightly, not quite agreeing with the ideas of the two siblings.

After listening to Maria's words, Yan Ying did not refute anything, but just narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

"So... you still want to kill all those Shanhai people?"

"You want to stop me?"

"of course not."

Yan Ying shook her head slightly.

"I just want to know your attitude."

After saying that, Yan Ying stood up and prepared to leave.

As she said, she just wanted to know Maria's attitude.

And after she was sure that Maria was going to take action after all, she had nothing more to say.

She did not try to persuade the woman any further... Anyone with a normal mind could see that Maria was definitely not the kind of person who could be easily persuaded.

Since she doesn't agree with my ideas, she naturally won't act according to my wishes.

Instead of continuing to think about how to persuade, it is better to stop and think carefully about what to do next.

Yin Hongying also looked at Yan Ying as she left, suppressing her confusion as she followed stiffly step by step...

A few days passed.

Soon, the team arrived at their actual location of action.

Tangjiang, Jiangdong City...

317

Chapter 317 I think I've seen you before.

After more than a week of marching, Maria and others arrived at Jiangdong City.

The people here also obviously received the secret order from the emperor. They met Maria and others almost on the same day and prepared a map.

Jiangdong City is a city built on the bank of Tang River. Across the river is a stretch of rolling hills.

The average height of these hills is probably only between two and three hundred meters, and the highest one can only barely reach one thousand.

Although the height difference is not obvious, its advantage lies in continuity.

There are also many river mouths that lead directly to Tangjiang River.

When Jiangdong City realized that the other party was in its territory, it also considered coming out to fight against these mountain and sea rebels.

But after trying a few times, they were surprised to find that the situation was not as simple as they had imagined.

This group of mountain and sea people, with support from unknown sources, had already established a double-sided defense network within the mountain range...

With the advantage of terrain and layout, even if they can defeat this group of mountain and sea people, they will sacrifice a large part of their troops.

In order to safely solve this problem, they had no choice but to ask for some military support from above.

And Maria came here because of this...

Night, camp.

In order to prepare for the next battle, Jiangdong City also spent a large sum of money to prepare a sumptuous dinner for a thousand soldiers, wishing everyone a victory.

However, Maria, the leader of the team, did not participate in it.

Zuo Zheng just showed up briefly, encouraged everyone, and then hurried back.

The first thing I did after returning was to determine the next layout arrangements with Malaya.

"How is it? Are you sure it's done?"

Seeing Zuo Zheng coming, Maria also raised her head slightly.

As mentioned before, Maria's team can be said to be a ragtag group.

Wei Sanzheng's guards, the emperor's imperial guards, Bailiansi martial artists, and people from the underworld...

It is difficult to manage these people when they get together.

Not to mention forming it into a capable team.

Their original plan was to gather the team and let the guards and imperial guards act as generals. Maria would lead one team and Zuo Zheng would lead another team to encircle the enemy from both sides.

But because of the appearance of Princess Yanying, they had to leave the imperial guards behind to protect each other.

This has resulted in the team, which was already unstable, becoming even more difficult to control.

The original plan to split into two teams to encircle and suppress the enemy encountered an insurmountable bottleneck.

If they were to gather together and form a team, it would be difficult for their army of a thousand to encircle and wipe out the enemy's army of three thousand... not to mention that the battle scene was in a complex mountain forest.

By then, many enemies will surely flee.

But if they are separated and there are not enough generals to unify them, no one knows what problems will arise.

Zuo Zheng was so worried about this matter that his hair turned white.

Maria, on the other hand, remained calm.

"Is there any way to integrate them?"

"It's a bit difficult. We may need to recruit another group of people."

Zuo Zheng scratched his head.

She has made the most ideal arrangements.

But in the final analysis, captains and guards are two different types of people. Without sufficient training, it is difficult for ordinary guards to have the ability to lead a team, even if it is a small team of less than ten people.

In this situation, even if she continued to excel, it would be difficult for her to put together the current team.

In desperation, she had to ask Maria for more support.

But Maria did not answer directly.

She just thought, tapping the table lightly.

After a moment, he raised his head slightly.

"how long it takes?"

"Hmm...if we include the adjustment period for the new recruits, it might take another week or so."

Zuo Zheng was also a little helpless.

According to the original plan, the imperial guards would lead the others during the march, and the morale of the team would also be improved along the way.

But unfortunately... plans cannot keep up with changes.

"A week?"

Maria frowned slightly when she heard the news.

Obviously, she was a little unhappy with the timing.

"Those Shanhai people must have noticed our arrival a week ago... They won't just sit there and wait for death."

"Um……"

"never mind."

Maria didn't make things too difficult for Zuo Zheng. After all, this was the girl's first time leading troops, so it was natural to have problems.

Fortunately, Maria doesn't care about these things.

From the very beginning, she actually didn't expect others to be her helpers...

"You lead these troops... I'll take care of the front lines."

Maria said this, also tilting her head slightly.

Zuo Zheng, who was standing by, was stunned for a few moments before his eyes widened.

"You...are alone?"

"Ah."

……

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Standing in the room specially prepared by Jiang Dongcheng, Yin Hongying paced in place with an uneasy look on her face.

The quiet and comfortable room was like a cage to her, and she became even more anxious after seeing the imperial guards stationed outside.

On the other side, Yan Ying sat on the bed indifferently, with her eyes slightly narrowed.

After a moment, she also shook her head slightly.

"That woman... is really quite arrogant."

"what?"

"Haven't you noticed? Whether she's talking about my brother or me, her tone hasn't changed at all. She's very confident, but... where does this confidence come from?"

Yan Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of thought.

Yin Hongying was also furious when she saw her like this.

So this guy didn't hear a word I asked him so anxiously just now?

"You're still in the mood to think about this... I don't want to bother with that anymore."

"Ok?"

After hearing Yin Hongying's words, Yan Ying finally came back to his senses.

She glanced at the girl and shook her head slightly.

"Are you planning to leave?"

"of course."

Yin Hongying really didn't dare to stay here.

She doesn't understand so many complicated issues like relationships and power.

She only knew that the other party had already known Yan Ying's thoughts and disguise, and it was very likely that they would report it to the current emperor soon.

With just a little investigation, the situation on our side will be exposed.

She doesn't want to be unable to run away even if she wants to.

"I've already told you, she won't deliberately expose us..."

Looking at Yin Hongying's anxious look, Yan Ying shook his head helplessly.

"Besides, even if you wanted to run, how would you run?"

"Those imperial guards outside are no joke. They won't even listen to my orders."

Yan Ying warned Yin Hongying.

Escape is not an option.

Even if it was her order, these imperial guards might not obey.

The so-called Imperial Guards do not require absolute military force, nor do they necessarily have to have extraordinary skills. They are the elite among the elite. After entering the Imperial Guards, the most training they receive is to enforce discipline.
