"I won't fool you about the demon clan. I will break the seal for you and restore your seventh-level combat power. From now on, you will no longer be able to attack ordinary people, and you will no longer be able to follow me on the battlefield."
This was Ding Kui's confession. He could use the excuse that the Azure Dragon God did not want Ao Yu to join the Demon Hunting Legion prematurely, and Ao Yu could accept it, but he did not want to continue to hide his true thoughts.
"Well, can you just let me return to my true form?" Ao Yu hesitated.
It seems quite interesting to follow Ding Kui in his southern and northern campaigns.
"Your body is the seventh-level divine beast." Ding Kui did not use the term "warcraft" to describe Ao Yu.
It’s not wrong to call the spiritual beasts brought to this world by the great gods.
"Isn't it okay to follow you to get something?" Ao Yu tried to find a reason to convince himself.
"That's called spoils of war. If you don't fight, how can you get it?" Ding Kui had to work hard if he wanted to get it, otherwise he would only get a small part.
"Humans have so many rules. It's easy to use hard fists on the sea, but here you have to be restrained when your combat power is high. It's really unpleasant."
"Then do you still want to try to contact the seal?"
"Don't ask me, okay? I'm bothered."
"..."
The two guys were silent for a while, and Ao Yu couldn't help but glance at Ding Kui, "What do you want? Give me a break!" Ding Kui felt uncomfortable being stared at.
"Your combat power has reached level seven, can't you go on the battlefield?" Ao Yu licked his dry lips.
"I can't go to the front line anymore. It's okay to come up with ideas from the rear."
"Then when will you be promoted to level seven combat power?" Ao Yu balanced a little.
"It's hard to say." Ding Kui thought about it seriously, "My fighting energy vortex is not full yet, and my magic power seems to have changed a bit, but I still have no idea how to open a certain elemental door. I estimate it will take a few months at a faster time, or a few months at a later time.
A few years, according to your grandfather, it is better to go slower."
"Oh." Ao Yu rolled his eyes, "Then I will endure it for a few more years and fulfill your wish."
"Wait a minute." Ding Kui became alert, "I've made it clear to you. It's up to you to choose whatever you want. What does it mean to fulfill my wish?"
"I chose. I chose what you expected. Didn't I just fulfill your wish?"
"I thank you..."
"You can't turn your back on the dragon!"
"..."
The two brothers enter the daily routine.
Shaodianbao woke up from his deep sleep, looked to the east in confusion, and faintly felt a violent collision of energy. This was a subconscious defensive state, indicating that there was energy that could harm him not very far away.
"Here comes someone."
"Is there anything unusual in the camp?"
"I didn't find anything from my humble position. Well, the commander-in-chief and Ding Keqing just finished their tour and left."
"I see." Shao Dianbao probably understood the source of the danger.
He guessed: Lord Ding won’t blame Ding Keqing for taking too many things, right?
Although he missed the mark, he was not far off.
Ding Kui tiptoed into the room, without lighting a lamp, and took off his clothes and armor in the darkness.
"What's wrong?"
The room suddenly became bright. Li Fei sat up from the bed and activated a magic lamp.
She brought the magic lamp from home and placed it in a small ring.
"Well, it's all Ding Yu's fault. He didn't know the importance of his actions!" Ding Kui rubbed his blue cheeks.
"You guys! The enemy is currently facing us, and you are still behind enemy lines. Don't you know how to save some energy?" Li Fei was both amused and distressed.
She got out of bed, came to Ding Kui, stretched out her hand to touch his cheek, and there was a green light on her hand.
"Saving your strength is like scratching his itch. Where can I put my coach's face?" Ding Kui took the opportunity to hug Li Fei's breasts.
"Keke, I asked you to take me on a camp tour, but you didn't listen. You're fine now." Li Fei often encountered similar situations.
Her treatment was very effective, and the congestion on Ding Kui's face was dissolved and the skin restored in a blink of an eye.
"It's okay to be hurt a little. I feel bad for not letting you sleep peacefully."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you have such a coaxing mouth! Junior sister Ruan met you when she was new to the world. I don't know whether she is lucky or unlucky."
"It's okay, why are you dragging her along? It's you, not her, who keeps the Ding family alive..." Ding Kui became more aggressive.
At home, Long Yan and Hai Mengji would never mention Ruan Xingzhu, but Shao Dianluan and Li Fei would talk about it, and there was nothing he could do against them.
"Actually, I don't mind. Junior Sister Ruan is very kind... Ouch."
"hey-hey."
An indescribable time.
Yesterday afternoon, the 43rd Division had already transported a batch of baggage and set off. Today, the 9th Army Corps set off relatively easily, carrying only a month's worth of food and necessary military equipment.
"Sir, please allow me to serve as a vanguard officer so that the army can move faster." Shao Dianbao volunteered to join the vanguard.
The area from Huanggang City to Baise County is occupied by the rebels. There will be many cities, passes, passes, and dangers along the way, all of which need to be solved by forward troops.
A forward force with experts can save a lot of trouble. Shao Dianbao and chief magician Xian Fu went to the forward force together for the first time since the formation of the Ninth Army Corps.
The strongest forward force is born!
Ding Kui did not object. There was no point in having a bunch of sixth-level warriors in the Chinese army. Good steel should be used on the blade. It was rare that Shaodianbao and Xianfu were willing to put down their posture.
The marching speed of the Nine Legions is indeed fast, and Ding Kui, who has commanded many elite troops, has the right to speak.
He said: "When marching and fighting, the march is in front. A unit with high mobility can often seize an advantageous position and take the lead to control the rhythm.
Being able to walk fast and still maintain formation reflects a very high level of training. From what I have seen with my own eyes, the mobility of the Ninth Army Corps is not inferior to that of the Eighth Army Corps."
This is a very high evaluation. In terms of infantry, the Eighth Army represents the highest level of Shaodian's military. In other words, the marching speed of the Ninth Army is no slower than any other army.
"What kind of magic does Master Xian practice?" Ding Kui asked Li Fei.
He has never seen Xianfu take action, and there are very few opportunities to meet him.
"The fire element is from the same sect as the Ming and Tang masters."
"Vice President Kuai's disciple?"
"Yes."
"It's different if you have a sect to cover you."
Li Fei immediately cried out: "Which one of you doesn't have a sect? We have no foundation in the association, so we are the weakest."
This is true.
Ding Kui is surrounded by Vice-President Rong, such as Qian You, Ruan Xingzhu, etc.; Vice-President Zhe, such as Huang Wan, Fang Zhen, etc.; Vice-President Kuai, such as Cai Ran; Gong Liang;
There are several under Gu's sect, but they don't have as much say in the Magic Association as those above.
"It's hard to compare them. I'm talking about most magicians. Compared with you, they are from two different worlds."
"Really? How could their magical world be different?" Li Fei looked at Ding Kui with a pair of innocent eyes.
"Then let me ask you, it is common for magicians to have followers, but why don't you?"
Li Fei was obviously taken aback. This question had always occurred to her but she had never thought about it.
"I don't have you. I have a bunch of guards at home, so there is no need for followers. Well, if my followers want to live in the mansion, it seems that I need my wife's consent."
She had many suitors in the past, but it seemed she didn't need followers. Ever since she went to Giant Sheep City to look for Ding Kui, no one had followed her. There were too many people around Ding Kui to protect her safety.
"Where is your junior sister Ruan?"
"She..." Li Fei paused, "Do you still need her? How can her followers protect a magician who can teleport? She can't even catch her. Besides, do you, Mr. Ding, allow her to have other men around her?"
Ding Kui almost reached out to cover Li Fei's mouth, "She also needs time to cast advanced magic, but it's really hard to find someone who can follow her. Forget it, let's not talk about her, where is Ganyou?" He immediately changed to someone else.
"Senior Brother Gan used to have one, but later it was rare to see him with it." Li Fei found that the situation was the same as what Ding Kui said.
"Later, he didn't bring it because he didn't want to harm the lives of his followers. He has a teleportation talisman passed down by his master. He can escape at any time when he encounters danger. Can his followers escape?" Ding Kui explained for Qianyou.
"I remember!" Li Fei was as excited as a child, "When I went to Funiu Mountain, the teacher asked for one for me."
"Are there other magicians at that time? Most of them didn't. Teacher, if you sell your friendship, you will get an extra life. How many people envy you."
"Aren't there Senior Sister Huang and Senior Brother Cai?" Li Fei wasn't very familiar with these two.
"Huang Wan originally had it, but it disappeared after staying in Juyang City; Cai Ran lives alone, and I have never seen him have any followers."
"Why is that?" Li Fei began to think about this question.
"Because you have people to protect you! When your combat power is low, you may need followers. When you grow up and have the ability to protect yourself, followers will become a burden. Ordinary magicians would not even dare to think about it."
Ding Kui understands this deeply.
He, Ao Yu and Ao Yan are magicians and followers in one, and they understand the importance of followers to magicians.
He has faced magicians with trump cards more than once, and the fight was quite difficult, much more difficult to deal with than magicians with followers.
In fact, the advantage of a magician with a sect's inheritance lies in the accumulation of experience, just like the difference between aristocrats and ordinary people. They are indeed people from two worlds.
"Why do I think it's better to have someone to protect me?" Li Fei didn't participate in many battles, and it was basically her turn to take action.
"Because I am the one who protects you."
"I'm not afraid of others listening."
Ding Kui turned to look at Ao Yu who was not far away. The guy turned his head away from him.
"Are you two still at odds?" Li Fei was curious.
"Hmph! A greedy guy can never be satisfied." Ding Kui got angry thinking about what happened last night, "Don't worry about him."
He looked at the sky and said, "If we keep going at this speed, we can reach Baise County in three days."
Shaodianzhang's staff were very discerning, and no one behind Chu Kui could stop Ding Kui. Shaodianbao and Xianfu basically did not take any action, and the vanguard troops marched all the way to Baise County.
The base camp of the rebel army's northern war zone in Zhuwangzhou is located south of Baise County and extends southward to the north bank of Pingsha River. It is a huge military stronghold.
Regardless of the fact that the Fifteenth Army Corps was still in place, Yang Zhao still organized a new Fifteenth Army Corps, with his confidant Qu Cheng as its commander.
Qu Cheng was very alarmed when he learned that the Ninth Army Corps was attacking. He immediately withdrew all the troops scattered in nearby cities and counties, and at the same time sent a message to Chu Kui for help.
