Chapter 1340 Even if you are a non-chief, there will be a time when you are a European emperor
!
As soon as eight o'clock in the morning arrived, the temperature began to rise suddenly, as if the spring breeze suddenly blew away the severe winter frost.
In less than half an hour, the mercury on the thermometer quickly climbed to fifteen degrees above zero, and there was a rush of warmth everywhere.
In the camp, the originally deserted atmosphere due to the severe cold was instantly broken, replaced by vibrant chaos.
The mobilized soldiers walked out of the tent one after another, enjoying the sudden warmth. Laughter and cheers filled the entire camp.
Even the dwarf captives, who had looked sluggish due to the severe cold before, now regained their vitality.
The faces of many dwarves once again glowed, and they shouted softly, with hope of survival flashing in their eyes. It was obvious that the previous sustained low temperature had a serious impact on the dwarves.
Of course, although the temperature rise after the disaster has driven away the severe cold, it also means that another serious problem is coming.
The expeditionary force must pack up as soon as possible and prepare to return. It must leave the opponent's territory before the dwarves may launch a pursuit.
Otherwise, once you are surrounded by dwarf pursuers, you will be in trouble if you try to escape.
"Forty thousand dwarf prisoners, we need to arrange ten teams to deal with them. After our large army evacuates, a batch of prisoners will be released every half hour, and each team will escort and drive the dwarves to different directions."
"If any dwarf wants to escape along the way, just stop them symbolically."
"But you must remember not to release these people deliberately, so as to make them think that they escaped by chance."
Su Deben made arrangements in an orderly manner and quickly formulated a complete evacuation plan.
Even if there were 40,000 pigs, it would take the dwarves three days to catch them all.
He did not intend to take extreme measures against these dwarves who could only engage in ordinary production.
On the contrary, Sudben planned to let the prisoners escape in chaos, which would not only put huge pressure on the pursuing dwarf army and greatly slow down their pursuit, but also allow the escaped dwarves to relocate and organize production.
, consuming a lot of supplies and resources from the dwarves.
Although this shows that the results of this expedition are insufficient, the most important thing in a war is the results in appearance.
Using all means to achieve the goal is the decision a qualified commander should make.
"Finally the fight is over!" Seeing the torrent of steel-like convoy slowly driving out of the dwarf territory, Liu Zhi couldn't help but smile, and his tense spirit finally relaxed a lot.
The life of waiting at the rear was not easy, especially since he was not qualified to receive news from the front line. He could only hope in extreme suffering that Tianyuan would win the battle to prevent the dwarves from moving the front line and affecting the Honghua Gang's territory.
Otherwise, if the dwarves really attack, ordinary people in low-temperature weather will have no ability to resist.
But looking at the expressions of the soldiers accompanying the convoy now, the results on the front line should be good.
"First send people to inform the residents of the four gathering areas, especially the residents of our No. 2 gathering area, so that they can be mentally prepared!" Liu Zhi made arrangements.
When tens of thousands of humans armed to the teeth and such a huge number of steel torrent tanks enter the territory of the Red Flower Gang, they will probably cause a sensation immediately.
Coupled with the fact that the Tianyuan Army carried the residual power of defeating the dwarves, the impact was even more exaggerated.
After so many days, Liu Zhi had actually long wanted to understand the origins of the mercenaries and the role he played in the process.
But at this moment, everything I had thought about before was meaningless.
What he was thinking secretly at this time was more about the consequences of this war and where the Red Flower Gang would go.
The large army quickly entered the Honghua Gang's territory, and the expected sensation was several times greater than imagined.
The news spread quickly like wildfire, and the four originally peaceful gathering places exploded in an instant. The survivors who had just been preparing to take advantage of the disaster to go to the fields to see the situation changed their minds and walked out of their homes to fight for the disaster.
Witness this torrent of steel.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock and disbelief, and they felt like they hadn't woken up.
"This is Su Shen's army!" someone exclaimed, their voices full of awe and admiration.
As the large army marched, more and more people gathered on both sides of the road.
At first, facing such a majestic army, people were inevitably a little afraid, and they only dared to watch quietly from a distance.
But as time went by, perhaps the uniform military uniforms evoked some kind of memory deep in their hearts, and people gradually became bolder.
Some waved, cheered loudly, and some even shed tears with excitement.
Because in their eyes, this army not only represents absolute security, but also brings hope of survival.
However, Sumo did not participate in this process, but quietly returned to the receiving fleet in the airship.
But before they could eat, Ji Wuming, the "former" lord of the Honghua Gang, came over.
"Let them in." Sumo put down his chopsticks and saw through the curtain that Yehu was following him.
This is the plan
"Lord Su!"
With a few obvious bruises on his face and a cast on his arm, Ji Wuming looked a little embarrassed.
Maybe it was for atonement, or maybe there were some special conditions offered by Hunter Tiger.
Ji Wuming's performance in this expedition was remarkable, and he could barely be considered a talent.
But these alone are like writing off the crimes previously committed, and I'm afraid it's not enough.
"Come, sit down and eat together. I'll ask someone to prepare more food." Sumo gestured with a smile.
Yehu naturally sat beside him carelessly, while Ji Wuming still only dared to stand half-bent at the door without daring to raise his head.
"What? Are you going to plead for him?" Cut to the language of Blue Star, Somo looked at Yehu with interest.
"I kind of think that this person is indeed a seedling that can be cultivated. It would be a waste to kill him directly or send him to mine. See if you can transfer him to my staff and I will try to cultivate him."
"You should have no shortage of people under your command. If you want talents, I can go back and select a group of people to go to your place." Sumo laughed and scolded: "If I let him go, will other humans who cooperate with foreign races feel the same in the future?
Do you have a way out where you can be recruited?"
"If it's difficult for you, then forget it." Liehu opened his mouth angrily, but in the end he said nothing more.
The situation is completely different now from before.
Although he still couldn't let go of the title, he called Soma "Lord" like everyone else.
But in terms of his inner status, Yehu has already recognized his status as a subordinate.
Bringing Ji Wuming over rashly without fully understanding the situation is already breaking the rules.
If there is no more imposing demands with a wink, then is he the lord or Somo is the lord?
"There's no rush to eat. Let's eat first. I'll ask you a few questions after eating." Sumo casually took a sip of the special fruit wine with added psionic water, and suddenly felt a sense of warmth, which had dissipated from the recent days.
The wind chill in the body: "Urge the kitchen to serve the food quickly!"
"Go and find Liu Zhi again. I have something to ask him!"
"Lord Liu should be responsible for arranging for the large troops to move in. I'm going to ask him if he has time."
"Then let him finish handling it and come over quickly!"
After ordering the guards, the chef began to serve the dishes with a discerning eye, which were all seasonal vegetables stored in the refrigerator.
When fried with protein meat, it looks more appetizing than a military meal.
"After I repaired you last time, your body hasn't had any other problems in the past few days, right?"
"No, it feels great." Liehu stretched out his chopsticks to take a bite of the food, and couldn't help showing a hint of excitement: "It feels like I'm back twenty years ago. I can't remember how long it has been since I felt like this."
It was easy."
"That's good, but it's still what I mentioned to you before. When you reach your age, if you can't participate in the battle yourself, try not to rush in. We have enough manpower to complete the strategic goals!"
Sumo talked while eating, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Only when he mentioned that hunting tigers were not allowed to participate in the battle, the latter couldn't help but feel depressed.
He has just passed the age of forty, far from the age where he needs to take care of himself, right?
Besides, I was used to worrying about things before, and now I can’t let go if I don’t always follow the plans I made.
After a while, the leftovers were removed by the guards.
He lowered his head and glanced at Ji Wuming, who was still leaning over the door, and Sumo nodded invisibly.
After a while, Liu Zhi hurried over.
As soon as he heard Sumo's summons, he couldn't think of arranging for the troops to be stationed, so he just left it to his deputy and rushed over.
"Lord Su, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." When he came in and saw Ji Wuming standing by the door, Liu Zhi suppressed his curiosity and spoke quickly.
"Well, last time you were the deputy lord, but this time it seems you are going to be the lord." Su Mo stood up with a smile and walked up to Liu Zhi, who was almost a head taller than the latter.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, everything goes well."
"Lord Su, what are you talking about? I, Liu Zhi, am today thanks entirely to your blessing." Liu Zhi was flattered when Su Mo patted him on the shoulder, "I won't tell you more, you can tell me more in the future."
I also treat it as a soldier under my command. If you have any orders, I will definitely follow your instructions!"
"It seems that you are much smarter than him." Sumo smiled unhurriedly and glanced at Ji Wuming.
The latter's body visibly trembled, and he restrained himself so that he did not make any big moves.
"Look up and talk, let me see what kind of person dares to cooperate with the dwarves?"
Liu Zhi's heart moved when he heard the words that seemed to be blaming but not so harsh.
Ji Wuming quickly raised his head, with a look of expectation in the corners of his eyes.
"Lord Su, I can hold a gun, and I am willing to atone for my sins. Please forgive me for being confused."
"Confused for a moment?" Sumo turned around with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Tell me, I'll give you a chance to tell you what I want to hear."
Although Somo's body was not as tall as Yehu's, the pressure he felt standing in front of him was even more suffocating.
Ji Wuming had prepared a lot of manuscripts before, but after getting nervous at this moment, he forgot most of them.
Facing the gaze, I could only stumble and talk.
"Lord Su, Ji Wuming is actually not my name. I chose it based on the novel I read before."
"My real name is Ji Sheng. Before I came to the wasteland, I was a second-year graduate student at the National University of Defense Technology."
Ji Wuming, no, as soon as Ji Sheng opened his mouth, Liu Zhi was so shocked that he immediately cast his gaze.
Ken 2?
Good guy, you look like you are in your forties, but how do you look like a student?!
But the next second, Liu Zhi's doubts were answered.
Ji Sheng raised his hand and touched his face, then peeled off a human skin mask as thin as cicada wings.
Under the middle-aged man's face, there was actually a face that was a bit younger than Somo. Yehu, who was still watching the show, was so shocked that he coughed repeatedly.
"This is the mask I got from the monster treasure chest when I first traveled through time."
Ji Sheng obediently handed over the mask, and a guard next to him took it over and checked it. After confirming that there was no problem, he handed it to Sumo.
When held in hand, the human skin mask is very light and feels a bit like freshly steamed cold skin.
But when it fits on the skin, it doesn't slide down, but sticks to it tightly.
"I studied broadcasting, and with this mask, I can pretend to be a forty-year-old person."
Ji Wuming continued, quickly explaining everything that happened to him in the wasteland in the past year.
Since his face is really harmless to humans and animals, this mask provides a good disguise for Ji Sheng.
Coupled with his good eloquence, Ji Sheng quickly gathered a lot of people after visiting several gathering places.
But it was as if this mask had used up all his luck.
From the time he entered the sea until now, Ji Sheng's luck has always been that of a non-chief.
First, the supplies that the gathering place worked hard to accumulate in the sea encountered a storm when heading to the New World, and half of them sank to the bottom of the sea.
Then, his subordinates rebelled one after another and fled with the few remaining supplies.
At that time, apart from a large population, there was almost nothing else of value left to Ji Sheng.
But after all, this guy still has some abilities. Just by relying on his mouth and acting skills, he has coaxed many new people to join the Red Flower Gang.
Relying on the supplies paid by the newcomers, the Red Flower Gang was barely able to keep the Red Flower Gang from disbanding.
From now on, everything that happens will naturally become familiar.
"It turns out that I am not a person who can manage the territory, and I don't know how to lead them to develop, so the dwarves came to me and offered to sponsor me to enter the Tianyuan territory and continue to use my abilities. I couldn't help but be moved.
"
"But I can assure you that from the establishment of the Red Flower Gang to now, I have never had the slightest idea of becoming a rapist!"
After the environment reopens and returns to the same starting line, it is normal for anyone to think that they will turn around.
Even if you are at the bottom of society, even if you are just an inconspicuous screw, you are a student who has not left the ivory tower.
This wasteland only looks at abilities and means, and the connections and experience accumulated in the past are almost of no use.
And even non-chiefs have their moments when they are European emperors.
For Ji Sheng, the fact that the Red Flower Gang was accidentally assigned to the Central Sacred Territory, got news about the Tianyuan Territory, and was approached by dwarves was also a sign of the end of their bad luck.
It's a pity that the chess move was one step away. Just like what he said, his mind was temporarily confused and went astray.
