"I said you just come to my team, and I can give you a temporary deputy commander position right away. Then the two of us brothers will be able to control the battlefield, wouldn't it be a good idea?"
After the war situation analysis meeting ended, Liu Long immediately found Li Mu, hooked up with him and encouraged him, hoping to get him to join the troops he commanded. His overly enthusiastic attitude made Xiao Momomaru look at him for a moment.
Stunned.
"Brother Liu, it's not that I don't want to come to you, it's just that I have to obey the overall arrangements. General Liu Qingling and General Pu Hui both came to see me just now, but I didn't agree."
In his heart, Li Mu actually still wanted to fight side by side with Liu Long. After all, the two of them had a life-and-death friendship together, and there was no problem with at least tacit understanding and trust in joining forces to kill the enemy.
But the battlefield is not a place for cliques and brotherhood. As an infinite monk who can fly in the air, and possesses an eighth-level monster killer like a little monkey, his strategic value is comparable to a real tribulation.
How could a powerful person join an ordinary team and be used as a soldier?
"Li Mu is right. Don't think about it. He will only be overqualified in your team. Stop standing here and go back to your place."
A rough voice came. He didn't have the slightest respect for Liu Long, the imperial general. He was just scolding his subordinates. The key point was that Liu Long didn't dare to refute at all, and pulled his head to face Li Muhe.
Xiao Tao Wan blinked his eyes and left in despair.
In the entire expeditionary force, there was only one person who could do this. Li Mu looked back and saw that it was the commander-in-chief Liu Chong.
"Uncle... no, General, Li Mute is here to report. Please approve joining the expeditionary force."
Seeing Liu Chong's arrival, Li Mu did not dare to neglect and directly made a standard salute. Although he had only briefly joined the army during the defense battle of Qinglan City, it is said that once he joins the army, his military spirit will never be extinguished.
As a time traveler with two souls, nothing can excite Li Mu more than being so passionate about a military career. According to him, this may be the dream engraved in every man's blood.
Wrapping one's body in horse leather, dying in battle, protecting one's family and country, and then dying. This is the belief that Li Mu was taught in the Earth Age. If various reasons had not prevented him, he might have actually joined the army in the first place.
Unexpectedly, a lightning strike allowed him to travel to this world of immortal cultivation. Although his identity was different, the longing in his heart did not diminish at all. "I have approved your application. You are welcome to join the imperial army again."
Liu Chong didn't say much nonsense and immediately accepted Li Mu's application for enlistment. However, he did not indicate the number of the team he wanted to join. He only said that specific mission details would be handed down in the evening.
The noisy and tense port finally gradually became quiet. Except for the warships that were still unloading in the distance, soldiers from other units entered their camps on time. The entire camp was completely independent, and all sentry and patrol work
All of this is the responsibility of the expeditionary force itself.
After lights-out time, only Xiao Taomaru was left in the camp from Xipeng Lai. The girl stayed with Li Mu, waiting for the task arrangements Liu Chong mentioned before.
The sound of footsteps was heard, but the person who appeared was not Liu Chong or any of the officers and soldiers of the Cangyun Empire that Li Mu was familiar with. The soldier's appearance was extremely ordinary, so ordinary that it could only be described as ordinary.
It's the kind of thing that no one would remember if thrown into a sea of people. It has no characteristics.
Without any words or even any expression, after handing over a letter, the soldiers pushed out of the tent, leaving Li Mu and Xiao Momomaru looking at each other.
"This should be your mission arrangement. General Liu is so cautious. I'm afraid the content written in the letter will be extremely confidential. I'll go out first and call me after you finish reading it."
Xiao Momomaru was thoughtful and immediately realized that he was doing something wrong here, so he immediately offered to avoid it, but as soon as he stood up, he was grabbed by Li Mu.
"I have some understanding of the general's behavior. If he felt that you couldn't know the contents of this letter, he would not give me orders in this way. I guess this task requires the two of us to complete it together."
Li Mu's eyes were firm and his tone was unquestionable. Feeling the warmth coming from his grabbed arm, Xiao Momowan blushed, but he still sat down and watched Li Mu open the letter.
"Li Mu, it is really helpless to entrust you with such an important task in this way. However, this expedition is of great significance and may be related to the national destiny of our Cangyun Empire for hundreds of years in the future. Therefore, any degree of caution is necessary.
of."
"According to reliable intelligence, Dong Penglai is about to master a devastating method of mass destruction, which is powerful enough to destroy a main city-level city in an instant, and can be used repeatedly."
"We know nothing about this mysterious method, but there are various indications that the 'Blood' organization played a very important role in it. Once Dong Penglai completely obtains this big killer weapon, it will have a huge impact on our expeditionary force, and
All the important cities in Xi Penglai will be a huge threat."
"So your mission is to lead a special elite team to go deep behind enemy lines, detect detailed intelligence in the shortest possible time, and directly disrupt the enemy's plan if conditions permit."
"The other members of the team will arrive within half an hour after you receive the letter. You will receive mission supplies in Matsu Town, twenty miles west of Shizuoka City."
"This is a top-secret mission. Only Baili and Shen Bairu know about it in Xi Penglai. Miss Tao who is traveling with you will be your guide in Penglai and help you complete the mission together."
The content of the letter was very short, but the amount of information it contained was huge. Li Mu did not expect that Liu Chong would entrust such an important task to him.
But after a little thought, I found that this arrangement is indeed the best choice at the moment. Both the expeditionary force and Xi Penglai have masters who have overcome the tribulation realm, but the identity of the representative with high cultivation level has been exposed.
In such a large-scale war, the high-end combat capabilities of both sides have long been locked up by each other's intelligence agencies, making it impossible to quietly enter behind enemy lines.
Although Li Mu has a sensitive identity, he has moderate cultivation and is not a full-time soldier. As a thorn in the side of Dong Penglai and the "Blood" organization, it seems very reasonable not to appear on the frontal battlefield. There is a high probability that Li Mu will be considered as intentional by the Cangyun Empire.
Protect.
"I didn't expect such a cruel and inhumane method. According to the description in the letter, isn't this an indiscriminate massacre of the city? How many people would have died if a large city was razed to the ground? What on earth did Sikong Da... and Katori think?
"
Xiao Momomaru was also shocked by the details of the mission. She couldn't understand why Sikong and Katori, both from Horai, could raise the butcher's knife without hesitation against the people who worshiped them so much in the past.
"There's no time to think too much. We're leaving now. Let's think about it on the way."
Li Mu's hand lit up with a pure Yang flame, completely burning the letter, and then he and Xiao Taomaru got out of the camp.
With their cultivation, they quickly escaped everyone's eyes and ears, turned into two black shadows, and plunged into the night.
