Chu Ming looked at Zheng He calmly and said," I know this mission is not simple, but since the Dare-to-die Camp is under Wang Gang's command, there's no reason for us to disobey. Besides, there's no turning back. We have to get to the Sunset Valley first, and then we'll act according to the situation."Pay attention to the people from the Commandant Battalion. I suspect that Wang Gang didn't send those guys to help us, but to stab us in the back!”
"What is it? It can't be, right?" Zheng He was shocked and said in disbelief,"Maliciously attacking a colleague is a capital offense.”
"Death penalty?" "Of course it's a death penalty if you find out, but what if you do it without anyone knowing?" Chu Ming sneered. I can be sure that Wang Gang sent a battalion of lieutenants to follow us with ill intentions. Even if he didn't stab us in the back, he most likely had other intentions.”
"Hu ~ Your Excellency's words make sense!" Zheng He took a deep breath and said seriously,""Sir, please rest assured. I will definitely keep a close eye on them and not let those fellows take advantage of me!”
"There's no need to be so cautious. Just keep a close eye on them. In front of me, a mere Lieutenant Battalion can't cause too much trouble. If these guys are willing to help us, it's fine. But if we find out that they're up to no good, we'll kill them all first!”Chu Ming said coldly.
"Yes, sir, I understand!" Zheng He nodded heavily.
……
"Commandant, the speed of the dare-to-die camp is too fast. Many of our brothers can't hold on much longer!”While Chu Ming and Zheng He were talking, an adjutant from the Commandant Battalion said bitterly to Liu Yong.
"Even if we can't hold on, we have to hold on. I don't believe that those guys can run all the way to Luoxi Mountain Valley in one breath!”Liu Yong's expression turned stiff as he said coldly. However, even though he said that, he was still furious. His Commandant Camp could be considered an elite troop. Their overall combat strength could be ranked in the top 20 among the hundreds of Commandant Camps in the entire Mount Mang Military Camp. However, they were completely inferior to the Dare-to-die Camp in terms of marching. It was really embarrassing.
"Commandant, I don't understand. Isn't he just a small commander of a daring death camp? Wouldn't it be as easy as eating and drinking to kill him with the commander's status? Why make it so troublesome?" the adjutant muttered.
"What do you know?"
Liu Yong glared at him and said in a deep voice,""If things were as simple as you think, would Lord Commander need to go through so much trouble? Let me tell you, that kid is someone that Lord Tianwu values. If you kill him without a reasonable reason, who can bear the blame of Lord Tianwu one day?”
"Hiss ~ Marquis Tianwu?"
The adjutant immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, but he immediately asked in puzzlement,"Since the commander of the dare-to-die camp is someone that Lord Tianwu marquis values, why does Lord Commander want to deal with him? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
"Lord Commander doesn't have such guts. The one who really wants to deal with him is Lord Lieutenant!”Liu Yong glanced at him and said slowly,""I heard that kid offended the son of Marquis Tiger Might in the capital, and it wasn't a small matter. You know that our Lord Lieutenant is the younger brother of Lord Marquis Tiger Might, so we naturally have to help his nephew vent his anger. With Lord Lieutenant's status and family background, as long as there's a reasonable reason to kill that kid, I believe Lord Marquis Tianwu won't say anything.”
"I see!" After hearing Liu Yong's words, that adjutant immediately revealed a look of realization.
"Do you understand now? " That brat is acting so brazenly just because Lord Tianwu Marquis is backing him up. He even dares to offend the son of Lord Tiger Might Marquis. Little does he know that although Lord Tianwu Marquis is high and mighty, our Mount Mang Military Camp is ultimately still under the command of Lord Lieutenant. This time, we'll let him taste the bitter fruit he has sown. Moreover…""Before I came, Lord Commander had already secretly promised me that as long as we can successfully complete this mission, the position of commander will definitely not escape. At that time, if I am promoted, you will take over the position of lieutenant.”
"Thank you, Lord Lieutenant, no, Commander, for your cultivation. I will definitely go through fire and water for you!”Hearing this, the adjutant was overjoyed.
"Mm, not bad!" Hearing the way the adjutant addressed him, Liu Yong nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile,"These few years, you have been at my beck and call, and I have seen it all. This is what you deserve.”
" However, Sir…" At this time, the adjutant said,""I think that brat seems to have been on guard against Lord Commander from the beginning. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to trap him this time!”
"No worries!" Liu Yong waved his hand indifferently, looking as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand."In fact, this kid had already fallen into the trap when he accepted this mission. How could he know that there are more than ten thousand people in the grain transportation team of Gale Empire? If he followed the order to ambush and launch a sneak attack, he would definitely be wiped out by the other party. If he saw the opportunity early and retreated in time, we would all say that he escaped from the battle. In this way, he would also be sentenced to death. Therefore, no matter how he fell into the trap this time, he would not be able to escape death!”
"Tsk tsk, Your Excellency's divine foresight, this lowly official admires!”The adjutant smacked his lips with a face full of admiration and flattered him.
"Hahaha, that's nothing. This is all a scheme set by the commander in advance. I'm only following his orders!”Liu Yong laughed and shook his head in a humble manner. However, he could not hide the smugness in his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have already seen the scene when he was promoted to commander.
……
When the moon and sun rose, the two troops arrived at the Sunset Valley. The morning sun had already peeked out from the east.
"Lord Chu, the Sunset Valley is five miles ahead. The terrain here is steep and the slope is extremely steep. If an elite soldier were to ambush in the valley, it would be difficult to detect.”Outside the Sunset Valley, Liu Yong smiled at Chu Ming. An hour ago, the two troops had already gathered together. Of course, this was the result of the dare-to-die camp slowing down. Otherwise, the lieutenant camp would not have been able to catch up before they reached the Sunset Valley.
"Is that so?" Chu Ming looked at him and said,""The Gale Empire's grain transport troops are not fools. Since this place is so conducive to ambushes, anyone would be on guard, right?”
"Hehe, Lord Chu is too worried. As the saying goes, the real thing is fake. It is precisely because everyone knows that this Sunset Valley is often ambushed and is on guard that it is easy to let down their guard.”Liu Yong laughed.
"Your words do make some sense!”Chu Ming seemed to be convinced by Liu Yong's words, but the next second, he changed the topic and said,""Since that's the case, then Commandant Liu, bring your men and go to the valley to ambush!”
"Eh? Shall we go and ambush them?"
Hearing this, Liu Yong was stunned. Chu Ming didn't know, but he knew that Gale Empire had at least 10,000 grain transport troops. Whether it was the dare-to-die camp or his lieutenant camp, they would be courting death if they went to ambush them. He said this because he wanted the dare-to-die camp to die. Who knew that Gale Empire would take the opportunity to throw this " good job " to him? Knowing that he would die, how could he be willing to accept it? He immediately laughed and declined,"Hehe, Lord Chu must be joking. This time, it was your Dare-to-die Camp's mission to kill the Gale Empire's grain transport troops. Our Commandant Camp is just assisting from the side. Moreover, our Commandant Camp has more people. If we were to ambush them, we might be discovered too early. Therefore, I think it's best for your Dare-to-die Camp to ambush them.”
"Commandant Liu, you are wrong. It is precisely because your Commandant Battalion has more people that you should be in charge of the ambush mission. Moreover, according to what I know, although the Sunset Valley is not big, a mere thousand people can still be perfectly hidden!”Chu Ming said calmly.
Hearing this, Liu Yong frowned and said again,""Lord Chu, your dare-to-die camp…"
"Alright!"
As soon as Liu Yong opened his mouth, Chu Ming interrupted him impatiently."I don't want to say any more nonsense. I'll only say this for you. Are you going to the Commandant Battalion or not?”If Liu Yong had accepted the mission without a second word, Chu Ming would have been able to dispel some of his suspicions. However, the more Liu Yong declined, the more Chu Ming was convinced that Liu Yong was up to no good. Since that was the case, Chu Ming naturally wouldn't be polite with him.
"What does Lord Chu mean?”Hearing Chu Ming's unyielding tone, the smile on Liu Yong's face instantly disappeared. He said in a deep voice,""The mission to rob the grain was given to you by the commander, right? Why should our Commandant Battalion be the main force?”
"Just because my military rank is one rank higher than yours, you have to listen to my commands!”Chu Ming said indifferently.
" You…" Liu Yong's face stiffened, and his expression changed.
Although both of them were battalion commanders, Chu Ming was a rank 6 lieutenant, which was equivalent to a commander, one rank higher than a lieutenant. According to the military rules of Great Yan Empire, if they were sent out and couldn't contact their superior commander, the person with the highest military rank would automatically become the temporary supreme commander. For example, Liu Yong's lieutenant camp had to listen to Chu Ming's orders. Otherwise, they would be disobeying orders.
She had wanted to dig a hole for Chu Ming, but he had taken advantage of her and dragged her into it. However, this Liu Yong was not a kind person. Since the other party had made up his mind not to obediently "die", then he might as well not pretend to be polite with him. His face sank as he sneered,"Lord Chu, your words are meaningless. Our Commandant Battalion is here to help you out of goodwill, but now, Lord Chu is actually using your military rank to pressure me. In this case, this mission will be handed over to your dare-to-die battalion to complete alone.”
