"Sir! What do you mean... are we going to return to the main city or should we continue..."
Zhao Qingming looked at the retreating team members until they could no longer be seen. He came back to his senses and looked at the wounded on the ground, with a look of confusion on his face, and then asked the enemy human leader for instructions as if he suddenly woke up.
"What do you think..."
The leader of the enemy humans turned back, glanced across Zhao Qingming's face, and said with a half-smile. He only said half of what he said, with the meaning of a rhetorical question, and this rhetorical question was very interesting, as if he was trying to identify something.
"continue!"
There was something meaningful in the enemy human leader's words. Zhao Qingming could only smile, his smile looked a bit bitter.
In his mind, he kept the large force of the Divine Beast Legion in mind, but he just wanted to try it out. It would be best if the enemy's human leader could give the order to return to the main city and not continue the pursuit.
Of course, this is very unrealistic, but Zhao Qingming felt a little unwilling to not test it out. Now it was self-defeating. In his heart, he was betting that the other party did not know the existence of the large force of the Divine Beast Legion.
"You! Don't call me boss from now on, call me "leader"!"
Zhao Qingming's attitude is that he doesn't really care. Some things are already determined and cannot be changed by just a few words. In the apocalypse, population is one of the most important strategic "materials". Knowing the existence of the large force of the Divine Beast Legion, he will not bring them with him.
Returning to the main city, his mission cannot be completed.
"Understood!"
Zhao Qingming nodded and added.
"There are many of them..."
After the surrender, their number was known through "leader" Zhao Qingming, but it was only three thousand. After several battles, less than two thousand of their soldiers were lost.
"Go on, don't worry about the number of people. No matter how many people there are, I am enough. Besides, if I can't do it, there will still be a big leader. The big leader alone is better than thousands of troops!"
"Ling" smiled calmly. His smile was full of confidence. These confidences came from his own strength and strong strength. According to "Ling"'s own strength, if he really wanted to kill everyone, Zhao Qingming's death squad was not enough for him to kill them all.
"Well said! Of course, with such a powerful leader, we are invincible and invincible! Brothers..., don't you think so?"
Worried about exposing too much, Zhao Qingming did not dare to ask "Ling" about the location of the big leader, even though the big leader mentioned by "Ling" has not shown up yet.
Zhao Qingming is not flattering. At the beginning of the battle, "Ling" only used some power. Although he just swung a sword, all the dead souls were killed by the sword. Zhao Qingming judged that this should not be the strongest power of "Ling". Just based on what he just said
To suppress their momentum, Zhao Qingming asserted that in a conventional battle, Zhang Jiade could not be the opponent of "Ling".
""Lead" mighty!"
"mighty……"
"Invincible..."
The team members who followed Zhao Qingming were not stupid. They rolled their eyes and started shouting in a muffled voice. Everyone likes to hear flattery. In their view, the so-called "leader", even if he is in a high position, is always right to flatter him.
"Well, young man, very energetic!"
There was no trace left on "Ling's" face, and a fleeting smile appeared in a flash. Everyone likes to hear good things, and "Ling" does the same. This is human nature.
In the apocalypse, loyalty between superiors and subordinates of the legion is the most fundamental link between them. At this time, loyalty has lost its specific form of expression, except for knocking.
Kneel down and flatter someone, which is a euphemistic way of expression.
Flattering in front of everyone means you have to bear the moral pressure from your heart. This means that this team member is not only willing to be loyal, but also willing to pay the price. Do you feel comfortable saying "lead"?
Not only is it refreshing, but it is also practical.
"hey-hey……"
Seeing the performance of the team members, Zhao Qingming scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He could just flatter himself. He did not expect that these team members were so "awesome" and "led" the smiles on their faces. In front of him, the performance of the team members and himself
He could see it clearly.
"You... give yourself a name!"
"Lead" stepped forward and patted Zhao Qingming's shoulder gently. He didn't know what he was expressing, but it made Zhao Qingming feel flattered.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on "Ling". In the main city, various forces and families are intertwined. "Ling"'s personal strength is not the strongest, and there are not many soldiers who are truly loyal to him. Even the soldiers in the main city he leads now
, are all pieced together by other forces and families. No wonder the "leader" doesn't care about their life or death.
"town!"
Zhao Qingming did it without thinking.
He stated the name he wanted in one breath.
“Very good, “town”!”
The "leader" is very satisfied. His role in taking in Zhao Qingming and the others is to suppress and suppress all hostile families and forces. It is not difficult to survive in the main city, but it is not easy to make some achievements.
Things are a lot more stable with "township" and "leadership".
"This time in "Town", our goal is to plunder a large number of people. In fact... they followed us back to the main city, which is not necessarily a bad thing."
The "leader" was in a good mood and praised it as soon as he opened his mouth. According to the negotiation before coming to the main city, the "leader" could choose one-tenth of the population to plunder this time to form his own force. The more people he plundered, the more valuable he would be.
The more advantageous he is.
"I see……"
Zhao Qingming breathed out lightly.
Since for the sake of population, they will definitely not go on a killing spree. The people in the large army of the Divine Beast Legion can survive. If the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood!
"So Lord Ling, you don't have your own territory yet?"
Zhao Qingming was a little surprised. It should be very easy for a monk as powerful as "Ling" to casually recruit a hundred or eighty thousand people in the apocalypse and dominate the mountain as king.
"My strength in the main city is not high. I am only ranked eleventh. I am a commoner..."
"Ling" said quietly, feeling that his ambition was hard to achieve.
"civilian?"
Zhao Qingming understood that without the backing of family power, if he wanted to have a place in the main city where there were many talents, no one else would agree.
"Eleven!"
Zhao Qingming noticed this ranking very much. The "leader" was so strong that he was only ranked eleventh. Before him, there were at least ten people who were stronger than him. No wonder the top ten monks he could rely on were trying their best to improve themselves.
, it was his turn to do the hard work of plundering the population.
"horrible!"
The team members on the side sighed inwardly. The strength of "Ling" was only at the eleventh position. Needless to say, the main city was indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers existed!
""Lead!", I will persuade you to surrender!"
Zhao Qingming gritted his teeth and took the initiative to propose.
"you go?"
At this time, the "leader" was surprised. Zhao Qingming's thoughts were really different from ordinary people. He knew that he
He was willing to go and do things for himself in order to achieve his own goals. It had to be said that "Ling" was a little touched in his heart.
"Well, I'll go!"
Zhao Qingming's determination, not to mention "lead", was surprising to the team members who followed Zhao Qingming. They worked desperately to withdraw to the Class I city of S City. Could it be that Zhao Qingming betrayed and willingly threw himself into the embrace of the main city.
"Very good, you'll make the first contribution when it's done!"
The "leader" is very generous and immediately promises that there will be brave men under the heavy rewards. Rewards and punishments are clear. The law is established at the top and the customs are at the bottom. This is the basis for the rise of a power.
"Thank you for "leading"!"
Zhao Qingming put away his original villainous attitude and became serious.
"Go ahead, let's follow..."
I don't know whether it was because he didn't fully believe Zhao Qingming or for some other reason, but the "leader" still brought it up. Zhao Qingming went to persuade him to surrender, and his team followed behind him unhurriedly.
"Lead them this way."
Zhao Qingming was very honest. He knew that his "leader" did not completely believe him. Of course, he did not defend himself. He stretched out his right hand and pointed towards the right front.
"What?"
The faces of the team members present changed drastically. They originally thought that Zhao Qingming was pretending to surrender, but to their surprise, he was pointing in the direction where the large forces of the Divine Beast Legion were evacuating.
"He really surrendered..."
Knowing that Zhao Qingming really surrendered, the members of the Divine Beast Legion present felt uncomfortable. Zhao Qingming's move was beyond their expectations. They thought that Zhao Qingming would point in the wrong direction and return empty-handed after a lot of trouble. He was considered "benevolent"
"I'll do my best", I didn't expect...
"Haha, just go this way!"
The "leader" could see the expressions of the members of the Divine Beast Legion present. The path pointed by Zhao Qingming was the right path. For him, Zhao Qingming was valuable. As for the other members, it cannot be said that they were without value, but the camp was iron-clad.
A soldier on the flowing water, one man is better than thousands of troops.
"Traitor! A coward!"
One of the team members cursed in a low voice and spat into the ground.
"Brother, don't make such a decision. Deputy Commander Zhao...maybe he has his own reasons."
A squadron leader argued that Zhao Qingming had saved his life and he knew Zhao Qingming's character. He believed that Zhao Qingming in his eyes was not such a person.
"snort!"
"Just wait and see what happens..."
Some people are thinking in their hearts that he is planning to find a chance to break away after being forced to the main city. He will leave the main city and leave Zhao Qingming.
"It's difficult, it's too difficult for me!"
Zhao Qingming saw the expressions of the team members, and he knew what they were thinking, but... he could only pretend to be nonchalant and bear it silently.
After hearing about "Ling", Zhao Qingming had a new idea in his mind. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break into the main city. In his eyes, "Ling" was very much in line with what they were striving for. Once successful, it would be a great opportunity for the ants in the future.
When the alliance is stationed in the main city, it can act as a powerful internal response and get twice the result with half the effort.
"One day, they... they may understand my painstaking efforts..."
Zhao Qingming cheered himself up in his heart. Now, as long as he saw his eyes, all the members of the Divine Beast Legion turned their faces away. No one was willing to look at him again. Such attitudes were two extremes.
Think of this.
As expected, Zhao Qingming's body moved. He had no expression on his face, and without greeting the team members present, he chased after the large retreating troops of the Divine Beast Legion alone.
