Seeing the corps commander moaning on the ground, the remaining four soldiers jumped down from the armored vehicle with a roar. However, just as they drew their swords and rushed forward, an iron wall suddenly blocked the way.
The iron wall was so strong that the soldiers who bumped into it fell back with an ouch.
"Oh? My gentlemen, if you have something to say, please don't hurt the peace with your hands or feet."
The body of the steel wall is a soldier wearing heavy full-body armor and holding a giant square shield. The soldier has a burly physique like a grizzly bear, but his face is unexpectedly gentle. The soldier spoke in an awkward manner and advised both parties not to move.
To put it bluntly, I stood in front as if to protect my two companions.
"Are you pioneers?"
The team leader, who finally stood up, looked at the three people in front of him in surprise.
The female flame envoy, the villain spear wielder and the burly warrior all exude the fierce aura unique to those who have experienced battles, and the flame staffs, spears and square shields they hold are all specially made spiritual weapons. The soldiers of the government have to say this.
They are considered well-trained elites, but compared to the pioneers who continue to train with monsters on the front line, the "quality" or "quantity" of their weapons is far behind.
However, ordinary soldiers and military envoys were originally as incomparable as river fish and sea fish. Even if the soldiers had a numerical advantage, they could not form any deterrent to the pioneers. It would be better to say that if the settlers were gathered behind
If the residents are included, the soldiers are at an overwhelming disadvantage even in terms of numbers.
"Well done!"
"Show them how awesome you are!"
"Don't think that just because you are an official, you can do whatever you want!"
Seeing the pioneers coming forward, the surrounding residents also enthusiastically supported them. Although they were really going to go against Liyang Mansion, the resistance that gathered at this special moment also made the soldiers feel...
Under great pressure, the corps commander and other soldiers stood in a formation, their faces pale and helpless.
"What happened?"
There were inquiries from behind, and Zhang Ji and Wen Hui rushed over.
Seeing the messenger and others appearing, the captain of the imperial army felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly reported respectfully.
"Sir, some settlers touched the government's armored vehicles without permission. When we were reprimanding them, we were blocked by this group of pioneers. Not only did they attack us with spirit weapons, but they also incited the settlers to fight against the government. It's really audacious!"
Zhang Ji frowned when he heard this and glanced at Wen Hui next to him. The messenger is responsible for conveying the orders of the territorial government, and the management of the settlement is the responsibility of the assembly. The officials of the territorial government will only intervene directly when they are sure that there is no other way. In other words
, if Zhang Ji intervenes, it means Wen Hui's complete dereliction of duty.
Wen Hui, who understood this, had no choice but to step forward to persuade him even though he was unwilling to do so.
"Well, I am Ji Zheng Wenhui. If you have anything to say, please talk to me. For my sake, please don't do anything..."
The trembling appearance of Fat Ji caused the craftsmen to laugh openly, and the female flame envoy even glanced at him as if he were looking at garbage. She snapped her fingers impatiently, and then a crimson Flame Bee suddenly flew past Fat Ji's eyes.
"Eh? Uh-huh!?"
The frightened Wen Hui screamed and stumbled back, but fell flat on his back. As Ji Zheng groaned in pain, the settlers laughed unabashedly.
But the laughter only lasted a few breaths.
Everyone's eyes focused on the ground and gradually moved to the cold-faced official standing next to them.
Unlike Wen Hui, who is short, chubby and round, Zhang Ji, who is tall, thin and white-faced, has a much better image, and the aura of a cold elite formed by years of decisiveness in affairs can easily remind the settlers of Liyang Mansion.
of prestige.
The laughter quickly subsided, and some of the settlers still looked inexplicably uneasy.
"...have you laughed enough?"
Zhang Ji's eyes swept across the people in the settlement, then fell on the three pioneers in front, and coldly announced their names. "I am Zhang Ji, the envoy of Changxia Palace, and I came to Duanmuye to take charge of the affairs under the orders of the chief.
Who are you? What do you want?"
Who are you? What do you want?
Zhang Ji's question made the leading soldier's expression become serious for the first time.
You must know that although "people" and "officials" are two classes with natural conflicts, their conflicts are also based on principles.
For example, against the grassroots government soldiers and the like, it is feasible for the pioneers to punish the strong and support the weak, and the people like to hear about it. But it will not work if it is Zhang Ji. Because Zhang Ji is directly under the Changxia Palace
The messenger can basically be regarded as the spokesperson of Liyang's leader. If he wants to compete with the authority of the leader he represents, let alone a few pioneers, even the entire Kinoji is not enough.
Therefore, when Zhang Ji asked questions, even the soldiers could not answer casually.
The soldier is one of the few pioneers with political vision and soft thinking. He knows the consequences and dare not answer lightly, but this is not the case with his two companions. At least in the eyes of the female flame envoy, not daring to reply means that he is not in danger.
Being intimidated by the government. For the pioneers who were accustomed to defying the authority of the government, this was definitely a dishonorable result.
"Do you still have to ask?"
Therefore, the female flame envoy answered decisively.
"We are pioneers, and our job is to protect the people."
"Protect the people?" Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows. "Who wants to harm them?"
"You have the nerve to ask?" The female flame envoy glared over. "It's just a broken car. If you touch it, you will touch it. Why do you need to go to war? Use a gun against a child, knock him down and drag him up. Who can see it?
Going down?"
"So you attacked the soldiers?" Zhang Ji confirmed.
"Attack? Haha, that's just teasing them. If I were really interested in 'attacking' them, even the people and the cars would have been turned into charcoal powder." The female flame user raised her head and sneered, as if to prove this.
As he spoke, scorching flames suddenly rose from the front of the flame staff he held, and dots of flames rose up like fireflies, continuously gathering into the air.
In a few breaths, the dots of fireflies converged into a giant flame ball with a diameter of more than two meters. The flames inside the ball were cyan, suspended in the air, and radiated outward with terrifying heat that was enough to sting the skin. The giant flame ball made the soldiers
Their faces were pale, and even Zhang Ji couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"There is such a thing..."
The declaration of the female flame envoy is indeed true. She does have the power to burn out all the soldiers and armored vehicles. And this kind of almost foul violence is something that the government neither possesses nor can control. Zhang Ji realized this for the first time.
.
"That's right! You, Liyang Mansion, are really stupid when you treat a broken car like a treasure."
Before the soldier had time to speak, the villain gunman on the side had already spoken in agreement with the female flamer. He jumped up to the roof of the armored car in a pole vault, then raised his leg and kicked the frame several times to express his feelings.
