Ascension

Chapter 205 Major General Zhancao
"I have heard a little bit about Master Han using the body of a white crow to cross the ranks and kill the killers of the Shadow Alliance."

"The world only knows that Master Han is the Great Goose, but they don't know that Master Han is the White Crow. If the truth is revealed one day, I really don't know how earth-shattering it will be."

After the battle, Dongfang Xu calmed down his breathing and spoke with emotion.

Ye Hanjun's record is too brilliant.

Crossing ranks is never something to be taken lightly, let alone the 3rd to 4th ranks. The enemy has undergone a job change and has two more powerful destiny wheels. Only absolute strength and absolute wisdom complement each other and are indispensable. Only then can such a result be achieved.

"You're not bad either. You rebuilt the 2nd level and were promoted to the 3rd level in a blink of an eye. The level that was once just a step away is now truly in your hands. What do you think?" Lord Ye Han asked with a smile.

"For now, we still can't act rashly."

Dongfang Xu's eyes flickered, obviously knowing what Master Han was talking about.

"I'm going to look for an opportunity to fight Qin Tianyi openly, and then kill him like a winner."

"He is now a Yuying Xiaocheng and is approaching Dacheng."

"I have just been promoted, and I need to further accumulate. At least I have to reach the same level. I can avoid that Vice President Qinquanqin before I strike again."

"You have what you have in mind."

Lord Ye Han nodded:
"I will help you achieve the fair fight and head-on revenge you want, but only as an assistant. I will not take direct action unless necessary."

"Master Han's words are more than enough."

Dongfang Xu raised his head, his brows filled with confidence:

"This guy was stepped on by me when he was at the second level. At the third level... I would like to see how far he has improved..."

……

After checking the training progress of the fifth disciple, I learned some information about the mercenary circle from his mouth.

Ye Hanjun returned to Canghai Pavilion, took a bath, turned on a small stove for Guagua, and then fell asleep.

The next day, halfway through "Under the War", I suddenly heard the ringing of bells.

In the temporary hall where more than [-] people gathered, there was silence one second and an uproar the next.

"This bell... is so solemn and solemn. What happened?"

"It seems that such a bell is rung when a distinguished guest comes to the academy... Which big shot comes to Canghai Pavilion and needs to follow such etiquette?"

The students and instructors were whispering, and their eyes were constantly scanning, looking for something strange.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, a small group of people walked into the hall, dusty and in a hurry.

The sharp-eyed students immediately saw that among the seven or eight people, there were Du Yuanjia and Qingyi.

They finally returned from the imperial capital and brought back new news?
"According to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the wild ambitions of the Grass Frog Country have triggered large-scale wars on many borders, resulting in heavy casualties."

"The border defense is in urgent need of soldiers. When the country is in danger, the "compulsory conscription order" should be implemented. The available combat forces of Canghai Pavilion and Tianya Mansion are now called on to go to Lanshan City and Lanyue City respectively to guard the border. No one is allowed to lose……"

An old man wearing a blue-gold official hat injected soul power into a special scroll.

Suddenly, a huge curtain appeared above his head, which not only recorded all the words he said, but also incomplete and blurry images flashed away.

In those images, there were either dark clouds and blood in the sky, or heads falling to the ground and beast corpses everywhere. The new students, who had never seen such a powerful force, could not help but scream and look extremely frightened.

"Join the army? You actually need us to join the army?"

Huo Xin was stunned for a while, and then murmured to himself:
"As the hope and support for the country's future, the importance of students from both colleges is self-evident. Is the situation already so critical? Do we need to directly mobilize us to replenish our troops?"

"The situation is indeed critical!"

Du Yuanjia let out a long sigh. After half a month of absence, he seemed to be a bit older.

"Although the Red Frog Nation did not publicly support the Grass Frog Nation's interceptions and invasions, they did not oppose it either. Their attitude is thought-provoking."

"But the Grass Frog Country's naked and undisguised hostility is to occupy our country's territory, carve it up, and annex it in exchange for their more glorious development."

"If they are allowed to realize their wish, when the border defense line is breached, tens of millions of people in our Blue Frog Country will be displaced. The danger of national subjugation... is imminent!"

Hearing that the dean spoke in person, the new students were even more confused.

The old students in the South Campus were emotionally more stable. They had expected it since the death of the king, but they didn't expect this day to come so quickly and urgently.

"Who is in charge of the throne now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

Linghu Fei stood up suddenly and asked loudly.

This sound was like a ship breaking through the waves, instantly penetrating the noisy crowd and touching everyone's heartstrings.

"This..." Du Yuanjia and Qingyi looked at each other with a gloomy look in their eyes.

The old official who read out the decree pursed his lips, with a helpless look on his face, and said slowly:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Prince...have temporarily given up the fight for the throne and chosen to work together to overcome the difficulties."

"In other words, the Blue Frog Country currently has no owner. No matter how important the war is, it needs the consent of both His Highnesses at the same time?"

Ma Nongmei, the losing streak fighter, seemed to find it ridiculous and couldn't help but sneer again and again.

"This matter...is not something we can interfere with."

Du Yuanjia took a deep breath and did not relax his frown, but his voice suddenly became louder and spread throughout the hall calmly and forcefully:
"The most important thing right now is border defense."

"The Grass Frog Country has obviously prepared carefully, including the trip to the Five Academy League. It is very likely that they have planned from the beginning to cut off the young elite of our Blue Frog Country and to behead the country's leader... Only when the country is in chaos can we Take advantage of the opportunity.”

"Their plan is half successful. The other half is that I, Canghai Pavilion, are safe, and there are some people among the royal nobles of the Blue Frog Kingdom who have survived and can take up the leading role again - these are all the blessings among misfortunes."

"That's right." Qingyi nodded and said: "I know that many people are afraid of war, especially the newcomers who have just embarked on the path of cultivation for less than a year. The basic knowledge is not solid, but they have to face the killing all day long. , the pressure is really breathtaking.”

"After our advice, both Your Highnesses agreed——"

"First, don't split our two colleges, let us unite on our own and help guard the border."

"Second, if the first-level newcomers are too weak, they can stay in the academy to continue their training. Anyone who has reached the second level and above should go to the border to join the army and fight without legitimate reasons. Blue Frog Congress We will provide protective gear, medicine, and equipment to the maximum extent... We will do our best to protect the people in the rear area and prevent your families from falling into dire straits..."

"But...but this is war..."

One day, an old student from Yafu said awkwardly and panicked:
"When you go to the battlefield, you must carry your head."

"As long as the war lasts for one day, how many human lives and animal lives will our Tianya Mansion or Canghai Pavilion need to save before the war can end?"

In the dark seats, countless people lowered their heads and remained silent.

Whether it is daily competitions and challenges, or the tempering of trials, or hunting in the wild - compared with war, these are really trivial and not worth mentioning.

On the battlefield, rising to the level of a country, a single person or beast is as light as hair and has no weight at all.

Unless the leader of the Grass Frog Kingdom dies, which also triggers civil strife, or the Blue Frog Kingdom wins with absolute strength, it will definitely be a long-term war of attrition with no end in sight in a short time.

"This has come to this, let's move forward."

The first of the ten prides, Jin Buchu·Jin Xiaohong, said sonorously and forcefully:
"If we run away from war or surrender to peace, will the country survive?"

"In addition to grass frogs, we also have to be on guard against red frogs at any time. These are two powerful enemies that are eyeing us."

"While they haven't officially joined forces, we can show the bravery and fearlessness of my Blue Frog and win a few beautiful battles. Once the Grass Frog Country is wary or even afraid, we will have the possibility of returning to peaceful development. "

"Sister Jin is right! Keep moving forward!"

The ninth among the ten arrogants, Mo Gong Tan Ziping, said with a fierce fighting spirit:

"Since we are assisting as a team and led by our mentors, our probability of survival must be higher than that of ordinary soldiers." "Let's fight, this battle is inevitable. In order to protect our families and our country, we should give the Grass Frog Nation a deep sorrow." hit!"

……

During the war, teaching ceased.

Since the royal mission conveyed the decree, the two colleges of Canghai Pavilion and Tianya Mansion have been in turmoil.

Even with the approval and motivation of the dean, mentors, and top students, such a large courtyard is still filled with thousands of people.

There are old students who have reached the second level, because they are afraid of the war, they fled the college overnight and never returned.

There are also teaching assistants and mentors who do not dare to face the war due to various reasons, such as family members who need to be taken care of, such as old age and frailty...

Fortunately, the proportion of this group is, after all, a minority among the crowd.

Of course, there are those who evade, and there are naturally those who are fearless.

There are many old mentors who are very old. Even the dean can't stand it and doesn't recommend them to go to the frontline battlefield.

Most of these people are familiar to Mr. Ye Han, such as Jiang Yongnian who calls him retired all the time, and Zhu Zixin, Mr. Xu, Mr. Shan who he has met more than once...

The country was in trouble, but they actually sharpened their weapons, wore thorn armor, shouted "the sword is not old, can still fight", and decided to follow the large army to the border.

Among them, even Tong Xuan and Zhi Zhengqing were included.

They are indeed in a disabled state, one is old and on the verge of death, the other is severely disabled, and there is no possibility of facing the enemy head-on.

But they believe that their experience and experience will ultimately be more comprehensive than those of their students.

Even if they are unable to participate in the war, they can still become commanders on the battlefield and provide assistance to the best of their ability.

Under such shock, the first elite troops were assembled in about three days.

Du Yuanjia personally led the team, and was assisted by three deputy deans: Bian Haoran, Qinquan, and Sun Lin. All four of them were awarded the military rank of "General Cutting Grass" and were the ultimate guardians of the team.

The remaining four veteran celebrity mentors, Nan Huaqiu, Qian Xiaochuan, Wang Lin, and Ji Yan, were all absent.

Ye Hanjun, as the new star mentor, is also in the position, and five people have been awarded the military rank of "Major General Zhancao", second only to General Zhancao, with extremely high authority.

Further down, there are a full 200 third-level tutors and 3 second-level students from the Southern College.

Due to the intense war, all border defenses are in urgent need of troops to guard. The Blue Frog Kingdom recruits troops from all social groups. In the past, two-thirds of the free mercenaries, whether for the country or to make money, have poured into the army.

A group of people close to Canghai Pavilion and Tianya Mansion went out with the two academies. Among them, Canghai Pavilion's team expanded to 1200 people. They rushed to Lanshan City day and night without stopping. Along the way, the mountains shook, dust flew into the sky, and the momentum was huge.

……

Ten days later, Ye Hanjun's vanguard unit took the lead in approaching Blue Mountain City.

As far as the eye can see, this is a city built on a high mountain. The surrounding mountains are often 3000 meters high, with the highest peak reaching 8000 meters, crowned the "Blue Mountain".

Such a place with clouds, fog, and steep terrain is the most natural barrier.

Directly south of the mountain, there is a blue swamp with a width of more than 500 meters, called the "Blue Mire". It is one of the boundaries between the Blue Frog Country and the Grass Frog Country and is of vital importance.

Further south, within the territory of the Grass Frog Kingdom, there is also a stretch of mountains.

Unlike the Blue Mountains, which are bare due to their rich mineral content, the peaks there are lush and verdant, with towering old trees everywhere, and the density of the vegetation varies greatly.

"This is the place we want to guard? How did the Grass Frog Kingdom attack such a dangerous place?"

Along the way, scattered corpses and blood stains that have not yet dried up will make even Le Zhengfeng, a bounty hunter who often travels in the wild, feel frightened.

The murderous intent is too strong, those expressions of unyielding expressions, those remaining despair and helplessness, superimpose and strengthen each other, and when they are imprinted on the heartstrings, it is the coldness that penetrates the soul. How can you not feel panic?
"If it were between mortals, naturally both sides would be easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"But don't forget, the ecology of the sentient beings is extremely rich. They can fly and escape, and they can escape from the ground. It is not particularly difficult to cross these mountains and swamps."

Vice Dean Sun Lin used flames to burn the corpses along the way, not wanting them to be bitten by wild beasts, nor wanting the corpses to rot and breed the highly contagious plague virus.

"Everyone, the battle situation is urgent and we can't meet you from far away. Please don't blame me!"

A fierce general riding a "Gray-winged Eagle" suddenly swooped down from the mountainside.

"I, Huang Ziyu, am the commander-in-chief of the fifth unit under City Lord Lu. By order of the City Lord, I hereby welcome the reinforcements from Canghai Pavilion and welcome your arrival."

"How's the battle going?"

Du Yuanjia glanced at it and went straight to the topic.

The gray-winged eagle with a wingspan of seven meters is undoubtedly stuck in the realm of Yuying's perfection.

This person should be a leader in the third level. He leads an army and must have important information on the battlefield.

"The number of enemies crossing swamps and flying over mountain streams to attack Blue Mountain City has continued to increase in recent days."

"Our Blue Mountain City's combat supplies are on the verge of depletion. More than half of the brothers defending the city have been killed or injured, and most of the survivors have suffered losses. The actual available troops are less than four-tenths of what they were at their peak."

Huang Ziyu's voice was hoarse, and he had a murderous intention when he talked about the sad parts.

"If it were another week late, there is a possibility that Blue Mountain City would fall. To the south of the Blue Frog Country, people from the Grass Frog Country might be burning, killing and looting, and the consequences would be disastrous."

"Fortunately, your hospital has arrived to rekindle the morale of our army."

"With the help of several deans, our city lord can finally take a break and breathe a sigh of relief."

"Let's go, meet up first."

Du Yuanjia waved his hand, the water tiger eagle flapped its wings, and led a group of people to climb the mountain.

After going back and forth several times, all the vanguard troops entered the city. The students, who looked worried, finally got a glimpse of the real military scene. Some were smacking their tongues, some were palpitating, but few showed too much timidity. They are all trying to integrate into the environment and change their thinking.

"Once you join the army, you should serve as a marching order."

"All the deans and vice deans who hold the rank of "General Zhancao" are on the same level as me. "

"The mentors who are in charge of "Major General Zhancao" are equivalent to the generals of an army. They have the responsibilities of management and command, which is no child's play. "

A blue-armored woman wearing a battle robe, with visible fatigue, appeared in front of everyone.

"I am the city lord of this city, Lu Yingying, fourth rank, D-level "trap hunter". "

"It turns out it's really you, and I thought you were the same person with the same name..."

Du Yuanjia looked moved, and his frown relaxed slightly.

"Mr. Dean, you are well."

Probably due to exhaustion from the long battle, Lu Yingying couldn't smile and said expressionlessly:

"Dear mentors and juniors, I graduated from Canghai Pavilion 50 years ago and was once among the top ten."

"I am very relieved that Canghai Pavilion is helping me in Blue Mountain City this time. I will try my best to give up my power so that you can show your talents."

"It turns out to be a senior who graduated many years ago..."

Huo Xin, Tan Ziping, You Jin... the ten proud men in active service looked at each other.

For some reason, after hearing the news, his nervousness and anxiety eased. The belligerent Ma Nongmei licked his lips, Yu Yuqiao smiled brightly while eating snacks, and Jin Xiaohong, who had always been calm and heavy-set, had a burning gaze, and his whole body was full of joy. The desire to fight.

Anyone who offends our Blue Frog Country...should be punished!
Now that the border has been settled, when the charge horn sounds, it will be the day when I, Canghai Pavilion, will kill the enemy with blood! !
