Lu Yunrui was already mingling with the soldiers and chatting with them.
The high school captain came over and heard Lu Yunrui say,""That's why the people are the foundation of the soldiers, and the soldiers are the support of the people. The relationship between the army and the people was like fish and water, and no one could leave the other. Fish would die if they left the water, and without fish, the water would become stagnant.”
The high school captain walked forward and said,""Your Excellency is really in a good mood! These words of fish and water were really profound and made people think deeply!”
Lu Yunrui waved at the soldiers." General Gao is back. I'll go talk to General Gao for a while. You guys rest first."”Then, he walked up to the high school captain and said,"General Gao, what business do you have with your troops?”
"We were ordered to pacify the rebels," said the high school captain.”
Lu Yunrui's expression turned cold. He pointed at the commoners nearby and said,""The rebels you're referring to are them, right?”
The high school captain nodded.”
"Do you know who they are?" Lu Yunrui asked.”
The high school captain shook his head.”
Lu Yunrui said," They are all ordinary villagers not far from Ancient Peak Village. We solved the mystery of the missing villagers of the three villages, and they helped us find the bodies of those villagers. Everyone is about to enter the city to report the case. How can they cause trouble, and how can they become traitors?”
" I don't know about that," the captain said." I'm just following orders. As a soldier, I have to follow them." If you want me to change my mind, the best way is to defeat and capture me. In that case, you can control this army through me.”
"Is there any other way?" Lu Yunrui asked.”
The high school captain shook his head.
Lu Yunrui looked at Du Tong, who was standing at the side. Seeing Du Tong's strange smile, she asked,""Du Tong, I still don't quite understand the reason. Can you explain it to me?”
" Master," Du Tong said with a smile," we were originally officers of Xia Country. This is the only way we can't be regarded as betrayers."”
"If that's the case, then I'll have to offend you!" Lu Yunrui smiled.”
After saying that, he stood there with rapt attention.
"You're not using a weapon?" The high school captain asked in surprise.”
"I don't want to hurt you," Lu Yunrui said with a smile."Just attack me!"”
The high school captain withdrew his longsword and bowed to Lu Yunrui. Then, he swung his sword at Lu Yunrui. However, his speed was not very fast, as if he was afraid of hurting Lu Yunrui.
Lu Yunrui turned around and dodged the incoming sword. With a turn, he was already behind the high school captain. The high school captain's reaction was also extremely fast. The sword's momentum changed from a stab to a sweep, swinging behind him. Lu Yunrui's body moved again, and his body actually moved with the sword. At the same time, a right palm was already slapping towards the high school captain's left rib. The high school captain's body staggered and he was almost hit. The two of them exchanged blows with fists and swords.
The soldiers stood at the side, holding their weapons as they watched. From time to time, they would burst into cheers.
The two of them fought for a long time, and it was difficult to determine who was stronger. The high school captain seemed to be really angry. His body emitted a faint golden light, and his sword momentum became more and more urgent. Every sword attack carried a faint sound of thunder.
Lu Yunrui had heard from Kimura that there were nine levels of martial artists on the continent, and they all had combat energy to protect themselves.
The first to third ranks were low-level warriors. The difference between each rank was not particularly big, and the warrior power would not leak out. It was just that the energy of the warrior power was different, and the level of combat power was also different.
Rank 4 to 6 were intermediate warriors. Their battle energy had already been formed and released. The colors of each rank were different, so it was easy to distinguish them. Level 4 Battle Aura was bronze in color and was known as Bronze Warrior. Level 5 Combat Aura was silver-white and was known as a Silver Warrior. Level 6 battle energy was golden in color, and they were called golden warriors. The abilities of this stage three warrior had increased by a large margin, and with every increase in grade, his battle prowess would double. Moreover, each level had three stages: beginner, intermediate, and intermediate. The color of the fighting spirit in each stage would also be different. The color of the primary battle energy wasn't very pure. The color of the intermediate grade was pure, but the color was lighter. High-level colors are pure and dense. As long as one carefully observed the color of the warrior's fighting spirit, one could distinguish the level and stage of the three ranks.
Rank 7 to 9, belonging to the high-level warriors. Any warrior who could reach the seventh step would no longer pursue the cultivation of battle energy, but the improvement of the concept. Each level still had three stages. The seventh level still had the color of Dou Qi, but it was obviously mixed with the color of the cultivation method. Moreover, the different stages would have different ratio of the cultivation method to the Dou Qi. The higher the stage, the higher the ratio of the color of the cultivation method to the Dou Qi. Moreover, the breakthrough of each stage would bring about a double increase in strength. Therefore, anyone who could step into the seventh grade would be addressed as a " master ". They were considered high-end existences on the continent, and there were no more than 50 of them in the entire continent. And reaching Tier 8, that was even more the realm of talent that martial artists dreamed of. Rank-8 warriors no longer had the color of their warrior energy. Instead, it was the color of their cultivation method. Moreover, the rank of a Rank-8 warrior was something that only the warrior himself knew. No one else knew. People on the continent respected these warriors and called them " Saints." These people were at the peak of the continent, and there were only three of them on the continent. As for Tier 9, that was just a legend. It was said that for thousands of years, there was only one person in the entire continent who had cultivated to that realm. In front of him, several Tier 8 martial artists joined forces and could not block the aura he released. They were already defeated before they could even make a move.
At this moment, Lu Yunrui saw the battle energy emitted by his opponent and knew that he was facing a Gold Warrior. He could not help but be more careful.
Du Tong saw this from the side and frowned slightly. His right hand had unknowingly pressed on the hilt of his sword.
The two people in the arena fought faster and faster, and the more they fought, the more intense it became. For a moment, only sword shadows could be seen flying and figures flashing.
When the two of them reached a critical point, the high school captain swept his sword horizontally. Lu Yunrui did not dodge, but stepped forward to meet the sword's momentum. It looked like he was about to collide with the tip of the sword. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim. Du Tong drew his sword and pounced over, wanting to save Lu Yunrui from the sword. At this moment, Lu Yunrui made a " Drip Drop " turn and flashed behind the high school captain. Without waiting for him to change his move, she had already lightly pointed behind him. In an instant, the sword light disappeared. The high school captain raised his long sword and stood still like a statue. This scene dazzled everyone and made them feel puzzled.
Lu Yunrui walked out from behind the high school captain and gently took the sword from his hand, inserting it into the scabbard at his waist. Then, she tapped him lightly with her finger. The high school captain's body immediately trembled and he lowered his raised arm.
Before anyone could say anything, the high school captain had already knelt down and bowed to Lu Yunrui."Gao Yuan has been defeated by Daren and is willing to submit. I hope you will take me in. I am willing to be a servant for life!”
"General Gao, please rise!" Lu Yunrui said with a smile.”
"Thank you, Master!" Gao Yuan said.
After saying that, he stood up and shouted to the soldiers,"Soldiers, listen up. I've been taken in as a servant by Lord God's Chosen One. Are you still willing to listen to my orders?”
"We will obey your orders, General!" the soldiers shouted.”
"Good!" Gao Yuan shouted," Since that's the case, everyone will have to listen to the orders of the Lord God's Chosen One in the future. The Lord's orders are my orders!"”
"Yes!" The soldiers replied in unison.
Gao Yuan turned around and called out to Lu Yunrui,"All members of the Holy Wind Legion's Third Squadron are here to await orders. Please give the order, Master!"”
Lu Yunrui took two steps forward and said loudly,"All soldiers, I just want to say one thing to you!”As he spoke, he raised a finger. She had to be the nurse of the people forever, not the enemy of the people!”
"Gao Yuan, Du Tong, listen up!”
Gao Yuan and Du Tong hurriedly turned to Lu Yunrui and cupped their fists."Yes!"
Lu Yunrui said," Gao Yuansu, divide the troops into two groups. You and Du Tong will each lead a group to protect the two wings of the people. No matter what happens, you must ensure the safety of the people." There must be no mistakes!"
"Yes!" The two replied in unison.
"Carry it out!" Lu Yunrui waved her hand.”
"Yes!" The two of them bowed and turned around.
"Teams one to five, gather on the left side. All actions will be under General Du's command. Teams six to ten, gather on the right!”Gao Yuan shouted.
The soldiers followed the order and quickly formed two teams on both sides of the road. It was obvious that they were well-trained.
Gao and Du turned around to face Lu Yunrui, bowed and reported,""The troops have assembled. Please give us your instructions, Master!”
Lu Yunrui nodded." The two of you will lead the team here to welcome the villagers. Then, protect the two sides of the team and follow the team." I'll bring the commoners over."
"Yes!" The two of them bowed and returned to the army.
Lu Yunrui turned around and walked back to the commoners, saying loudly,""Everyone, listen up. The soldiers in front are here to protect us. Everyone, don't worry and move forward. They will ensure that everyone reaches Peng City safely!”
Everyone immediately cheered happily.
"Let's go!" Lu Yunrui waved her hand.
With that, he led the way.
The commoners followed suit.
Zuo Mingtang was in the team. His eyes were fixed on Lu Yunrui's back. A smile appeared on his calm face.
The commoners moved forward under the protection of the army. Along the way, the pedestrians they met were surprised by the large number of people gathered together. After learning the inside story, they joined the team one after another. Many people also joined the villages along the way. The team was like a rolling snowball, getting bigger and bigger. When the team reached the north gate of Peng City, there were already more than 50,000 people.
At the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately became nervous when they saw so many people rushing over. They assumed a posture as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and the city gate was in a state of closing at any time.
"Stop!" A soldier who looked like a leader shouted loudly.
Lu Yunrui stopped and raised his right hand. Following Lu Yunrui's gesture, the entire team stopped.
"Who are you? Why did you bring so many people here?" The man asked sternly.
Before Lu Yunrui could reply, a loud shout came from behind him,""How dare you! Why don't you open your eyes and see who it is? Hurry up and move aside!”
Lu Yunrui turned around and saw Advisor Zuo walking out of the crowd.
When the person opposite him saw this, he shrunk his neck and hurriedly said with a smile,"It's Advisor Zuo, I didn't know. I hope Advisor Zuo can forgive me for offending you!”
Zuo Mingtang snorted and walked to Lu Yunrui's side. He raised his hand and gestured for her to come in.
"No rush!" Lu Yunrui waved her hand and smiled.”
Then, he turned around and shouted,"Please pass on the message to the villagers. Please ask General Gao and General Du to come to the front to see me!"”
The commoners immediately spread Lu Yunrui's words. Not long after, Gao Yuan and Du Tong arrived in front of Lu Yunrui from both sides.
"Milord, what orders do you have?" Gao and Du bowed and cupped their fists.
"You two lead your troops into the city first. Place the soldiers on both sides of the street and pay attention to the safety of the people!" Lu Yunrui said.”
"Yes!"
The two of them responded and turned to the sides of the team. Then, the soldiers began to run into the city.
When the last soldier ran past Lu Yunrui, Gao and Du came up to Lu Yunrui and bowed to invite him into the city.
Lu Yunrui nodded with a smile and walked into the city. Gao Yuan, Du Tong, and Zuo Mingtang followed closely behind.
When he passed by the leader, Lu Yunrui stopped and cupped his hands.""Thank you for maintaining order at the city gate!”
The leader looked at the three people behind Lu Yunrui and hurriedly agreed.
Lu Yunrui smiled and walked into the city. Gao Yuan and Du Tong hurriedly followed.
"Be careful and do as you're told. If anything goes wrong, you'll be held accountable!" Zuo Mingtang said to the leader.”
The man quickly agreed. Zuo Mingtang no longer paid any attention to that person. He quickened his pace and caught up with them, following behind Lu Yunrui alongside Du and Gao.
Seeing that Lu Yunrui and the others had walked far away, a soldier asked,""Who is that? What a grand manner, even Private Advisor Zuo and the others could only follow!”
"I don't know either," said the leader. Everyone should focus on their work. If something goes wrong, they can't afford to be punished!”
The soldiers also felt that what the leader said made sense. They immediately focused 20% of their attention and carefully maintained order at the city gate.
In the city, on the street leading to the city lord's mansion from the north gate, two rows of soldiers stood on both sides of the street. There was a sentry post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps. The pedestrians on the street were advised to stand on both sides of the street. Lu Yunrui and the others walked in front, while the commoners pushed all kinds of vehicles behind them.
As the troops marched along the street, a group of soldiers appeared in the distance. Immediately after, the soldier in charge of security sent a message, saying that the city guard, Chu Huaiyuan, was leading his men to inquire about the situation and ask for instructions on how to answer.
Lu Yunrui did not stop walking." Send a message to them," she said." Ask them to wait here. We'll be there soon!"”
The soldiers immediately passed the message back.
As they got closer, Lu Yunrui saw a group of soldiers surrounding a general standing in the middle of the street, blocking the road ahead. While Lu Yunrui was sizing up the general, the general was also sizing up the people behind him.
Lu Yunrui raised his hand to signal for the team to stop when they were twenty meters away from each other. He led Du, Gao, and Zuo to stop about ten steps away from the person.
