Chapter 56 Challenge
Sending souls back to their hometown is a beautiful job. Everyone likes to return to their hometown while completing the mission and gaining military merit.

And the security commander only needs to run around to have the opportunity to enter the palace to face the saint, which is even more popular.

However, the ranks in the army are strict, and such benefits naturally fall first on senior generals.

The Starfall Legion that Ren Ning belongs to is one of the most outstanding legions in the empire, and its generals and guards are all one in a million.

Although its military rank is not high, it is essentially equivalent to the Qianchang (battalion commander) of other legions.When necessary, the general can directly ask the personal guards to lead the army instead of Qianchang or Battalion Commander.

Therefore, the only ones who can challenge Ren Ning are the general's personal guards or the commanders and battalion commanders of other legions.

A low-level soldier like Gu Datou has no chance to challenge even if he is brave and resourceful.

However, this kind of challenge is purely a formality, and basically no one will play.

The candidates on the stage are selected from the registered generals, representing the meaning of the fortress.Others don't say whether they can fight or not, it is troublesome to annoy the fortress behind.

The reason why this challenge cutscene has always existed is that in addition to the significance of the fortress to show fairness and justice to the outside world, its greater role is to tell the fellow soldiers.

Look, this is your security order for sending the soul back to the hometown.Don't get me wrong.

Because the soldiers escorting the heroic spirits did not know each other.Like Ren Ning, most of them just happened to be on vacation, and a few from the east and west just got together.

Challenge time is a stick of incense.

After the incense is burned, if no one is on stage, the hot security commander will fall into the hands of the five people on the stage.

However, this time the incense had just been lit, when a middle-aged Qianchang with beards came onto the stage carrying a dark and heavy machete.

"Ma Dali, what are you doing?" After a while of silence, someone shouted from the audience.

Someone didn't think it was a big deal, Haha asked: "Mr. Ma Qian, who do you want to challenge?".

Without looking back, Ma Dali went straight to the youngest Ren Ning.

He clasped his hands together, and his voice was like a bell: "Yingchuan, Ma Dali. The little brother offended."

Ren Ning was slightly taken aback.He was not angry either, and bowed his hands in return, "Xingluo, Ren Ning."

"Is Ma Qianchang bullying my youth, or what does it mean?" Ren Ning asked.

Ma Dali chuckled, the smile was a bit cold.

It is said that people are more angry than people, and he spent half his life in the army, and it took nearly forty years of battles before he became a thousand commander.

How could this hairless kid in front of him be on an equal footing with him.He can even be favored by the fortress and give priority to him as a security commander.

Ma Dali, who also signed up, was full of dissatisfaction.

In addition, a few days ago, Gu Qishui from Yingchuan County led ten Yingchuan soldiers to collect the remains of the martyrs, but Ren Ning and his Xingluo soldiers simply cleaned them up without any resistance.

The incident was so uproar that it spread throughout the fort that day.

In particular, Ren Ning's own martial power and the holy medicine for healing he brought out called Mingzhu powder were shocked by the many witnesses present, and they were hyped into hype.

Ma Dali didn't know what other people thought, anyway, he was not feeling well these days.

Walking out of the camp, the fortress has been very lively recently.

Apart from the topic of sending spirits back to their hometowns, everyone was talking about how Ren Ning beat Gu Qishui so weakly, and how other Xingluo people made Yingchuan people obedient. .

The more Ma Dali listened, the angrier he became.

But later Gu Qishui was found out to be a spy, so he didn't dare to refute, so he had to keep his depression in his stomach.

After a few days, especially when he knew that he had failed to be the security commander again, his stomach full of gloom exploded all of a sudden.

Hey.

Ma Dali was expressionless.

"Since the fort has set up a ring, it means to allow other people to challenge on the stage."

"I happen to be at the same level as you, and Lao Ma thinks that he is more suitable to be the security commander than Ren Qinwei in terms of qualifications and strength."

"That's why I came up here to challenge." He squinted at Ren Ning, "Are there any questions?"

"No." Ren Ning shook his head.

He pulled out his saber backhand and walked out, "Then start now?"

Ma Dali hesitated for a moment, then looked at the referee in the school field, nodded his head, "That's how it started."

He is a horseback warrior, and his kung fu is all on horseback.However, one could tell from his face that Ren Ning was much younger than him.

Ma Dali had no face to ask to bring his war horse with him.

"Wait, both of you, don't worry."

Many soldiers in the audience saw that there was excitement to watch, and they all cheered up, clamoring for a gamble.

"Let's gamble, let's gamble. The reputation of the ten-year old village is guaranteed."

"Buy and leave. Xingluo Renning pays five for one, Yingchuan Ma Dali pays one for one..."

The fortress can't help gambling, and it can't stop coming.

It is said that a small gamble for happiness and a big gamble can hurt the body, and the fortress does not allow such a big gamble.

"I bet on five taels, betting that the star will lose and Renning will win." Gu Datou's duck voice resounded.

Ren Ning wiped his sweat.

Five taels of silver is already Gu Datou's military noon for almost half a year, definitely a lot.

Last fall, Ren Ning helped his brothers from the Eighth Battalion to write a letter home. At that time, Gu Datou sent his Junshang back to his hometown along with the letter home.

The five taels of silver that he took out now is probably his entire net worth.

Ren Ning looked left and right, had no choice but to withdraw his saber first, smiled and cupped his hands towards the audience, signaling for everyone to place their bets first.

He is in no hurry.

After signing up to compete for the security commander, he can stand on the stage first, and he has already been recognized by the fortress and the legion.

Ma Dali was now challenging not only him, but also the entire fortress behind.His pressure is much greater than that of Ren Ning.

Sure enough, a few coughs sounded majesticly below.

Ma Dali instantly felt sweat on his forehead.

It's just that at this point, he has no way to turn back, so he has to bite the bullet and hold on.

The news spread quickly, and there was a commotion for a while, and more and more soldiers gathered in the audience.

The soldiers outside couldn't squeeze in, and the soldiers inside came out again, so we had to open a few more markets.

The fortress is too big, few people have seen Ren Ning and Ma Dali.But in recent days Ren Ning's reputation has grown greatly, and his name has been heard frequently in the ears of the soldiers. It is said that his reputation is greater than that of Ma Dali, an unknown Qianchang.

"Is he Ren Ning?" Afterwards, someone pointed to the bearded Ma Dali, "Sure enough, he looks majestic and domineering. I'll put him in custody."

Cough!

Someone nearby reminded, "The young one is."

The crowd was in an uproar.

I go!

Looking so young, he should have just joined the army for less than two years.

The fortress has been vigorously promoting it. Could it be that this kid is the second-generation official with a background that is as good as the sky?

What I hate most in my life are these second-generation officials.

But no matter what your background is, if you see Zhenzhang in the ring, Uncle Beard's name is Dali, so he will be detained.

The only person who knew Ren Ning was Gu Datou's Eighth Cavalry Battalion, but the number of cavalry in one battalion was only 15 to [-] cavalry.It is inconspicuous in a fortress of [-] people.

The others turned their minds around, pondered left and right, and almost unanimously chose to press the horse vigorously.

After another toss, I finally decided to leave.Dense eyes cast on the two people in the field.

cough!
Ma Dali coughed.

He said loudly: "Thank you brothers for your love and willingness to bet on the old horse."

"However, old horses are cavalry, and only on horseback can they have the greatest combat power." He bowed his hands to the countless soldiers in the audience, "Brothers, don't you mind if I call the mount?"

"Of course I don't mind."

"Ma Qianchang's riding skills are superb, and he is invincible on horseback. Naturally, he must be paired with a mount to do business."

……

Amidst the commotion, many people remained silent.

Cavalry is expensive, and the proportion of infantry in the entire fortress is much greater.Among the soldiers in the audience, most of them looked down on the cavalry.However, most people have already placed their bets on Ma Dali, so naturally they can only support him.
