"Leave?" Chu Ming smiled coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes."Do you think you can still leave?" As soon as he finished speaking, all the members of the daring death camp drew their weapons and glared at the lieutenant camp like wolves and leopards. They were waiting for Chu Ming's order to charge forward and kill them all.
"Lord Chu, what are you doing?”Seeing this situation, Liu Yong was shocked and furious. He didn't expect Chu Ming to be so overbearing, to start a fight without a word. Moreover, looking at the ferocious expressions of those people from the daring death camp, it didn't seem like they were joking at all. They were really preparing to launch an attack.
"The third rule of Great Yan's military rules states that those who disobey orders and do not respect the order shall be killed. Those who flee at the last moment shall be killed. I am only executing military law.”Chu Ming looked at Liu Yong with killing intent. If Liu Yong dared to say no, he would immediately take his head off.
"Damn it, why is this guy so difficult to deal with!”
Liu Yong cursed in his heart when he heard Chu Ming's murderous tone. At the same time, his face darkened. If it was possible, he really wanted to fight to the death with the other party. However, the problem was that the Dare-to-die Camp's powerful fighting strength was known to the entire Mang Mountain Military Camp. Although his Lieutenant Camp could be considered elite troops and relied on their numbers, if they really fought to the death, there was a 70 - 80% chance that they would suffer a crushing defeat. Most importantly, this damned commander of the daring to die camp, Chu Ming, was too terrifying. It was said that on his first day in office, he had single-handedly slaughtered the entire daring to die camp. If they really fought, his lieutenant camp and his lieutenant might not be able to escape. He was about to be promoted to commander after completing this mission. How could he be willing to die at this critical juncture?
"It seems that we can only take this step!”
After thinking about it, Liu Yong finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and nodded heavily."Alright, we'll follow Lord Chu's wishes. This ambush mission will be carried out by our Commandant Battalion. However, I have a condition, that is, your Dare-to-die Battalion must enter the canyon with us to ambush.”
"Condition?" Chu Ming glanced at him coldly and said,""Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?”
"Whether or not they are qualified, this is my bottom line. After all, this food robbery mission is mainly for your daring death camp. After the matter is completed, you will also be the first to take credit. If Lord Chu doesn't agree, then I can only disobey!”Liu Yong said with a tough expression.
"Oh? Are you threatening me?" Chu Ming narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in them.
"I wouldn't dare!" Liu Yong's expression did not change." Lord Chu is a lieutenant. How would I dare to threaten you?" However, although Daren's official position is higher than mine, there's no reason for our lieutenants to be your dare-to-die camp's shield.”
Chu Ming was amused when he saw how confident this guy was. He was obviously the one with bad intentions, but now he was saying that Chu Ming was using his high rank to let the lieutenant camp stand in front of him while he waited for them to take credit. Not to mention what this guy was capable of, just the fact that he was a thief crying out to catch a thief impressed Chu Ming. Besides, Chu Ming couldn't force him anymore. After all, this guy's words were reasonable, and Chu Ming didn't have any concrete evidence to prove that this guy was harboring evil intentions. If he continued to use his military rank to pressure him, he wouldn't be able to hold his ground.
Of course, Chu Ming could also kill the entire battalion here. That way, he could earn some Merit Points and end everything easily. In fact, this was what Chu Ming had been thinking. But on second thought, the truth couldn't be hidden. Unless he killed his own people, it was hard to guarantee that no one in the camp would leak the truth. At that time, Ouyang Bo, who had wanted to kill Chu Ming, would definitely take the opportunity to punish him. He couldn't take the risk.
In the end, it was still a matter of strength. If Chu Ming was already a top-tier warrior, he wouldn't have so many concerns. Whatever commandant or commander, he could just kill them all. It was a pity that he was still far from the realm of a super-class warrior. Moreover, the newly activated " human slaughter " mission could only be completed on the battlefield. Therefore, he had to endure it for the time being.
"Alright, since you've said so much, I'll do as you wish. The two teams will enter the canyon together to ambush!”Chu Ming said expressionlessly after a moment of silence. He was just a small lieutenant. He wanted to see what kind of tricks this guy could play under his nose.
"I knew it. Lord Chu is still a reasonable person!”Liu Yong cupped his fists at Chu Ming with a happy expression. At the same time, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If this still couldn't make the other party give in, he really didn't know what to do.
"Cut the crap. It's getting late. Bring your men and follow me!”Chu Ming didn't even bother to look at him. He led the people from the daring death camp into the valley.
"Hmph, you're impressive now, but I'll see how you die later!”Liu Yong snorted coldly as he looked at Chu Ming's disappearing figure. A vicious glint flashed across his eyes. Then, he waved his hand and said,"Let's go!"”
The Sunset Valley had a steep terrain. Because of the cliffs on both sides, it was difficult to see sunlight in the valley all year round. Although the sun was high up in the sky, the valley was unusually dark. It was quiet all around. From time to time, a gust of cold wind blew, making a "whoosh whoosh" sound, like a little ghost crying, very scary. The dare-to-die camp and the lieutenant's troops were hidden in the dead trees on both sides of the canyon. The dare-to-die camp was on the left, and the lieutenant's camp was on the right.
On the side of the Commandant Battalion, the adjutant who was hiding with Liu Yong hesitated for a moment with a worried expression and whispered,"Milord, I don't understand why you agreed to let that brat send our people into the valley to ambush us.”
"Nonsense!" Liu Yong looked at him with a gloomy expression.""In that situation, how could I not agree?”
"But in this way, won't we have to die together with that kid?”The adjutant frowned.
"This is also a method that we have no choice. In order to complete the mission that Lord Commander gave us, we can only abandon the chariot to protect the commander!”Liu Yong said in a deep voice.
"Abandon the chariot to protect the commander?" The adjutant was stunned for a moment before he gasped."Sir, you mean…"
"Not bad!" Liu Yong gritted his teeth." You can't catch a wolf if you can't bear to part with the child. As long as we can complete the mission, it doesn't matter even if we lose all our brothers in the camp."”
"But, but these are all brothers who have gone through life and death with you many times. Is this worth it?”The adjutant said with a look of pity.
"There's nothing worth it. If you want to achieve great things, there will naturally be sacrifices. You don't have to think about anything else. You just need to know that after completing this mission, I will be promoted to commander, and you will take over as lieutenant.”Liu Yong said coldly.
"This…sigh ~" The adjutant opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Liu Yong's determined expression, the words that were about to reach his mouth eventually turned into a sigh. As Liu Yong's personal adjutant and confidant, he naturally knew the other party's personality. He knew that no matter what he said at this time, the other party would definitely not listen. If he said a few more words, it would instead make him feel disgusted and unhappy. At this moment, the only thing he could do was to silently apologize to his brothers in the Commandant Battalion.
However, would they be able to complete the mission just because they lost all the brothers of the lieutenant camp? I hope so. The adjutant's heart was pounding.
Ta Ta Ta Ta…
Just as the adjutant's mind was in turmoil, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the canyon.
"He's here!"
In an instant, the two troops lying in ambush in the canyon immediately perked up, and their gazes gathered at the entrance of the canyon.
A moment later, over a hundred armored warhorses appeared in everyone's line of sight. Wherever the warhorses passed by, they left behind a large trail of dead leaves and branches, causing the ground to shake.
"There are actually more than a hundred scouts scouting the way. It seems that the scale of this grain troop of the Gale Empire is not small!”Zheng He's expression changed when he saw the hundred Gale Empire cavalrymen on their warhorses.
Generally speaking, the number of scouts was related to the size of the army. The more scouts there were, the larger the army would be. For example, the Dare-to-die Camp only had five scouts, and Liu Yong's Lieutenant Camp only had about ten scouts. This time, the Gale Empire's grain troop had more than a hundred scouts. It was obvious that the size of this grain troop was at least over ten thousand. He had thought that the Gale Empire's grain transport troop would only have three to four thousand people at most. With the combat strength of the dare-to-die camp and Liu Yong's lieutenant camp, it would not be too difficult to take them down. Who would have thought that this troop would be so large? With 1,200 people against 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people, how could they fight this battle? Even if they had the advantage of an ambush, they probably did not have much of a chance of winning.
"No wonder that Liu Yong refused to enter the valley to ambush us. I guess he should have known that this would happen!”Chu Ming said coldly.
"It's all thanks to your wisdom that the Commandant Battalion was forced to ambush us. Otherwise, with only two hundred of us from the Dare to Die Battalion, it would have been difficult to retreat safely!”Zheng He said softly with some lingering fear.
"I think there's a 90% chance that guy won't cooperate with us. But it's okay, keep an eye on them. If we find anything unusual about the Commandant Battalion, we'll retreat immediately.”Chu Ming ordered. In any case, the speed of the dare-to-die camp was far faster than the lieutenant camp. If that Liu Yong had any wicked ideas, the ones who would suffer in the end would definitely not be the dare-to-die camp.
