Just breaking the seal from their seventh formation is already a great achievement.
As long as they reported this matter to the court, they would immediately receive a series of awards.
But... the governor looked back at the staff beside him.
Those staff who have been by his side to assist him and have never disliked the poverty of this border state and county nodded firmly towards him.
"Okay, I know!"
"You wait patiently at the mountain gate, I will immediately send a large army to explore the Jedi border."
“When the time comes, there will be many places where the Taoist priest can be used... We will have more cooperation in the future, and I hope the Taoist priest will also take care of us.”
The governor of a state or county was so polite to him.
This old magician was a little flattered.
He quickly showed his modesty: "Your Majesty, Governor, you are too polite. It is an honor for a poor man to serve the Tang Dynasty."
The two people laughed hahahaly. They both knew that whether they could successfully obtain their glory and wealth depended on their subsequent cooperation and actions.
If there is one good thing about this poor state and county, it is the high degree of unity of action.
The Governor-General issued an order, and the defensive troops immediately advanced in the direction of the Jedi.
As the head of a state capital, he must be personally involved in such a big matter.
The people reporting to the dynasty have already been sent on the way. The reason why communication symbols are not used...
The purpose is to buy them more time for their next actions.
Every extra piece of land they occupy now...is a piece of credit for what they have robbed.
The investigation was carried out quickly.
Out of caution, the governors of border states and counties mobilized all the personal guards on hand who could follow them to go personally, while the border troops on the border that overlapped with their marching route had to support them.
It’s not that you don’t trust the old Taoist priest. You can’t be too cautious when it comes to Jedi matters.
When this army takes action, as long as it wants to, it will move forward in an unstoppable manner.
It took the group only ten days to cover a journey that usually takes nearly a month.
When we arrived near Jedi, where the old Taoist priest's mountain gate was...
The old Taoist priests were so excited that they cried.
There is no way, if they don't come again... this place will be occupied by living creatures first.
As long as a blade of grass grows near the Jedi, the secret they want to hide now will no longer exist.
In response to the concerns of the master and apprentice, the governor acted extremely calmly.
“It is impossible for us to swallow up such a large territory.”
“Counting the days, the message from me to the court above has arrived.”
“If nothing else happens, when we enter the Jedi, the mages from the dynasty will come to investigate before the army.”
"This is also a guarantee for us. Those noble people don't look down on things on the ground."
“He will not compete with us for military glory.”
“As for what happened here, I’ll leave it to them to deal with it.”
"It's just that I have wronged the Taoist priest. As the first person to discover the strangeness here, and also a fellow Taoist, I'm afraid he will feel a little aggrieved."
Sir, if someone else takes the spotlight, you will naturally not be too happy.
The master did not think it was a serious matter.
I think back then, despite his extremely poor physique, he still had a slight affinity for immortality.
When he reached the threshold but could not get in, he had already seen the ugly faces of countless cultivators.
In the eyes of those people, he is a magic stick.
Once they figured out where he was coming from, those people who thought highly of themselves no longer bothered to argue with him.
The thicker my skin is, the more helpless and ridiculed those people will be.
They naturally have nothing to do here.
The real money and silver in the secular world, the prizes valued by the imperial dynasty, they will never steal from them.
This matter is fine for him.
"Then what are you waiting for? Pindao and the Governor will go together and get into the desperate situation. If I find something wrong, please the Governor must listen to my advice and lead people to evacuate quickly."
This is natural, no one wants to explain it inexplicably.
The two parties finalized the details and route, and the army marched toward the south of Jedi in a mighty manner.
As the entrance formation of the seventh formation, the road was smooth at the beginning.
But when they walked further south and within the range of a formation, they encountered an unexpected enemy.
“Skeleton! There is a skeleton monster!”
There was a team of elite exploration troops in front of them, responsible for exploring the road. Not long after, news came that the team had encountered a spirit.
As the permanent troops stationed on the border, from the governor to the small soldiers, there was no reaction to the news.
Isn’t it just a skeleton monster?
The seal only blocks the people who enter, but it never blocks the evil spirits in the Jedi from coming out.
This area of theirs is so desolate, but the court spends huge sums of money to replenish it with the best weapons every year.
The purpose is not to let them become the first line of defense against evil things.
When a large group of evil spirits came out, they would kill most of them first.
Even if there are sporadic cunning spirits that run inland, it will be much easier to deal with them with specialized spells.
So it’s just a skeleton monster, the lowest level and the most harmless thing... What is there to repay for this kind of thing?
The spy who shouted the report finally finished what he said next.
“The Naxi skeleton monster is very weird. On weekdays, there are not even ten thousand but eight thousand skeleton monsters strangled near the border.”
“They are all spirits who kill uncontrollably in a daze.”
“But the skeleton monster our team encountered was not like this.”
“They smelled the scent of strangers and even had a face-to-face encounter with our captain.”
“Even so they didn’t attack us.”
Hum? “This is nothing special, right?”
The old Taoist priest can explain this situation: "You are an elite border patrol team. They are all military personnel, with strong blood and weapons. Naturally, those weak skeleton monsters will not dare to get close to you."
"not like this!"
The scout told what he saw, and you were still in disbelief as you thought about it: "It's skeletons all over the mountains and fields... They seem to be coming here from the very south."
“There are many powerful beings among those skeletons, who can stand up to our soldiers in a one-on-one battle.”
“Our captain led us to investigate near a relatively hidden deep pit.”
“Make sure there are no hidden dangers in that deep ditch, and when you climb up again...”
“We were surrounded by skeleton monsters several times our size.”
“The captain thought we were going to tell him where he was, so he planned to cover up a sudden attack by a soldier who was delivering the news and report the message to the governor.”
