Chapter 140 The Fifth Battalion

After declining Li Kaixin's suggestion to help mediate, and only asking her to help pay attention to the information related to the 'Blue Cross', Lin Ze put away his phone.

The taxi just arrived at the school gate at this time, he paid and got off, went back to the downstairs of the dormitory, climbed over the gate skillfully, without disturbing the aunt in the small room, and quietly returned to the dormitory.

The three roommates had already fallen asleep, and they were used to Lin Ze coming home late from time to time, so they didn't worry or ask questions.

Lie down on the bed, Lin Ze took out his sunglasses, put them on, and logged into "The King of Souls".

As usual, he first went to the arena to apply for actual combat, and after killing dozens of gray-horned horns, he finally received a notification that the achievement had been achieved.

[Congratulations to the player 'Crow' for achieving the achievement 'Horn Race Slayer III' and earning 20 points]

"The next step is the achievement of 'Horn Tribe Slayer IV'. If there is no accident, the achievement condition should be to kill 10000 Horn Tribes."

Lin Ze pondered for a while, then turned and returned to the Shu family mansion, and found Shu Song who was studying in the study.

"Are you going to start taking over the army today?"

After hearing Lin Ze's intentions, Shu Song showed a thoughtful look, and nodded slightly after a while, "Alright, Li Baoshan and the others should have almost integrated the army, and it's just right for you to take over now."

After finishing the words, she waved her hand to call a servant, and gave a few instructions in a low voice.

The servant responded respectfully, turned and retreated, while Shu Song turned his head and smiled at Lin Ze: "I'll ask Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng to come over, you should meet them first."

"they are"

"Your deputy, the two deputy commanders of the army, they happened to serve in the Miejiao Army before they were transferred here. They have extremely rich experience in dealing with the Horn tribe, and their leadership ability is also not bad. What do you not understand? You can ask them for advice."

"I understand."

Not long after, the sound of low footsteps came from outside the study. Under the leadership of the servants, two middle-aged men in light armor stepped in and saluted Shu Song and Lin Ze respectfully.

As the name suggests, Li Baoshan is really as big as a hill, and the muscles on his body are tightly arranged like iron lumps, stretching his armor tightly, looking like a fortress of muscles.

It's hard to imagine that he's still a spiritualist.

If it weren't for the Wanfa type game world here, Lin Ze might have thought he was taking the body training route.

Ye Zheng, on the other hand, was more in line with the image of a spiritualist. He was tall and tall, with a refined temperament and a faint smile on his face, which made people feel good.

"Sit down."

With outsiders around, Shu Song regained his indifferent expression and waved his hand lightly.

After Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng sat down on the seat at the lower end, she continued: "Ye Zheng, you are most familiar with the situation of the city guards, so you can explain it to Ozawa."

"Yes, Lord Patriarch." Ye Zheng first responded respectfully, then looked at Lin Ze, and said after considering, "Your Highness, the city guards now have a total of more than 4000 people, divided into five battalions, each with about [-] people Left and right, and His Highness is the commander of the Fifth Battalion, and Baoshan and I are your deputy, that is, the deputy commander of the Fifth Battalion."

"The current highest officer of the City Guard Army is Legion Commander Huang De, but he is relatively old, and he will retire from the position of Legion Commander in a short time, so he doesn't care much about many affairs in the army. The upper capital will be dealt with by the fifth battalion, so the current situation of the city guards is a bit complicated."

Lin Ze asked curiously: "Complicated? Do you mean fighting for power?"

If the head of the legion doesn't care about things, without a sovereign person, it may be difficult for the remaining five battalions to live in harmony.

"Your Highness guessed right!"

Ye Zheng nodded lightly, "The power struggle between His Royal Highness and the Eldest Princess has also spread to the city guards. Now the two sides are evenly matched. The first and second battalions belong to His Highness, while the leaders of the third and fourth battalions are also taken by the city guards. The Eldest Princess has won over, except for the Fifth Battalion, the current city guards are almost completely divided and controlled by His Royal Highness and the Eldest Princess!"

"So that's how it is." Lin Ze was slightly stunned.

No wonder the head of the legion, Huang De, didn't want to take care of things. He planned to stay out of it and not get involved in the struggle for the throne.

and many more!

Lin Ze's expression changed suddenly. In this case, he would belong to a third-party force in the City Guard Army, and he wouldn't be mistaken by the two cheap older brothers and sisters for intervening in the struggle for the throne, right?

Although he didn't think so at all.

Ye Zheng has been secretly paying attention to Lin Ze's expression, seems to have guessed his thoughts, and said seriously: "According to the instructions of the Patriarch, Baoshan and I have politely declined the invitation of the other four battalion commanders during this period, and try to minimize private conversations with them." The contacts below clearly do not participate in the struggle between them."

Lin Ze looked at Shu Song, who smiled slightly: "Didn't you say that you don't plan to get involved in the struggle for the throne."

"That's right." Lin Ze nodded, looked at Ye Zheng and Li Baoshan, "We will continue to do this in the future, we only concentrate on hunting the Horn Clan, and don't get involved in other things."

"Yes!" Ye Zheng and Li Baoshan respectfully replied.

Shu Song had communicated with them a long time ago. Lin Ze joined the City Guard Army to kill the Horn Clan, so the two were not surprised when they heard the news.

Even so, they were still full of doubts in their hearts. They really couldn't figure out why Lin Ze was so persistent in killing the Horn Clan and joined the City Guard Army just for this?
It's really puzzling!

But doubts are doubts, but Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng dare not have any objections, let alone neglect, not to mention that Lin Ze is a member of the royal family, and behind him is the great aristocratic power of the Shu family. He himself is also a genius that is rare in a century .

The results of the Spirit Art Zhenyang Academy's big competition have already spread throughout the royal court. Everyone knows that the Second Highness Lin Ze has only practiced for less than four months before he was promoted to a fourth-level spirit artist and created many compound spirit techniques. Even Dean Su Xi was amazed by the excellence of his talent, saying that within three years he would definitely be promoted to a Great Spiritualist, and even the seventh rank is not out of the question.

Talents with potential and strength can be respected wherever they go, and some unpredictable thoughts are understandable.

"Then, without further delay, let's arrange to go out of the city to kill the Horn Clan as soon as possible." Lin Ze made a decision immediately.

Ye Zhengdao: "The city guards will patrol within a ten-mile radius of the royal court every half a month to clean up the Horns wandering nearby. The next patrol will be just two days later. If His Highness wants, his subordinates can immediately Apply to the higher-ups to dispatch the Fifth Battalion this time!"

"Well, so be it."

After deciding on the time to leave the city the day after tomorrow, Lin Ze bid farewell to Shu Song, accompanied by Li Baoshan and Ye Zheng, went to the barracks, and first visited the army commander Huang De.

Huang De looks like a hale and hearty ordinary old man on the outside, he has no airs at all, and looks very easy-going, which is a bit beyond Lin Ze's expectation.

After returning to the Fifth Battalion, Li Baoshan immediately called together a group of mid-level and lower-level officers for a short meeting, mainly to let Lin Ze get acquainted with them.

After the meeting, Lin Ze left the barracks straight away, and rushed to the quiet room of the academy without stopping to continue practicing spiritual arts.

He has not yet fully mastered the wind feather spirit technique, let alone the fusion of soul energy to transform it into a red lotus version of the spirit technique. In the next period of time, most of his training energy will probably be spent on it .

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Ye Zheng was very reliable in his work. When Lin Ze arrived at the Fifth Battalion that day, he had already arranged everything. A total of [-] sergeants were lined up in a neat and orderly queue, standing in the spacious square, quite imposing.

In addition, there were fifty spiritual masters in robes waiting by the side.

"Your Highness, considering that the scope of this operation is only within ten miles of the royal court, I suggest that you only bring half the troops. This way, the marching speed can be slightly accelerated, and the efficiency of clearing the Horn Clan will be improved!"

"Well, you are more familiar with this aspect, so I will follow what you said."

As Lin Ze spoke, he looked at the team of spiritualists in front of him.

According to Ye Zheng, the average strength of the spiritual masters in the city guard ranks at the bottom of the three major armies, and most of them only have the strength of the first and second ranks.

Just like the team in front of me, more than [-]% of them are Tier [-] and Tier [-] Spiritualists, and very few reach Tier [-]. Even the leader of the team is only a Tier [-] Spiritualist.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Ze turned his head and ordered: "Order to go."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As the order was passed down, Nuo Da's army began to move, heading towards the city gate mightily.

The barracks of the city guards were set up in the outer court, and not far away was the towering and huge city wall.

In the royal court world with a spiritual art system, building a city wall is much easier than in the sword-language world. A spiritual artist who has mastered the pseudo-elemental art and can manipulate the energy of the earth system is worth hundreds of ordinary laborers, so The city wall of the Royal Court is far taller, and the whole body is made of hard granite. According to visual inspection, the height has exceeded 50 meters, and the thickness is more than ten meters. It completely crushed the huge wall of the Heishi settlement.

Passing through the huge and thick city gate, the fifth battalion army marched slowly, with Lin Ze, Ye Zheng, and Li Baoshan at the forefront of the team.

Looking up, you can see a spacious and flat loess road, and not far from both sides are large areas of vibrant farmland. The golden yellow wheat and rice fluctuate like waves under the breeze.

Lin Ze took a few more glances with a sense of novelty, and then turned his gaze further away.

At the end of the field of vision, a large piece of desolate and dilapidated yellow can be seen vaguely, giving people a sense of bleakness.

And as we moved forward, the surrounding environment gradually became desolate. All we could see was sand, gravel and loess, and towering giant rocks were generally scattered on the open wilderness. Occasionally, we could only see a little bit of green, which was scattered small clusters. shrubs.

"It looks quite similar to the wilderness of the sword language world. They are all the same desolation and sparsely populated. I don't know how those Horn tribes survived in this environment."

As soon as Lin Ze's thoughts came to mind, he saw a spirit beast rushing back in front of him and came to the queue of spirit masters. After a while, someone came to report that a small group of horned tribes had been found ahead.
