Just as Lin Yun was starting to doubt the Marquis of Western Prefecture, the Marquis asked unhurriedly, "You're here to take part in the bandit suppression? rdquo;
"Yes. Lin Yun nodded expressionlessly.
"You're so young, yet you're already a rank 7 Soul Warrior. Not bad, not bad. You're indeed qualified to take part in this operation." The Marquis of Western Prefecture looked at Lin Yun and nodded with satisfaction, then clapped his hands.
Immediately afterwards, a maid carrying a tray came out of the room and brought it to the Marquis of Western Prefecture.
There was a pile of gold notes on the tray, which were commonly used in the Southern Summer King. They could be exchanged for gold coins at any bank within the borders of the Southern Summer King.
The Marquis of Western Prefecture took the tray and handed it to Lin Yun, "There are 100,000 gold coins here, consider it an advance payment. The remaining 900,000 will be paid after the operation is over. " rdquo;
A hundred thousand golds was equivalent to the amount of gold Lin Yun would use to attack his enemies in a battle.
Not to mention this amount of gold coins, even if it was a thousand or ten thousand times more, Lin Yun wouldn't care about it at all.
But even so, he still pretended to be happy and accepted the gold coins, "When will we start?" rdquo;
The Marquis of Western Prefecture said, "Currently, we've already recruited more than 50 members. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll start tonight. Come with me first, I'll bring you to gather with the other members. " rdquo;
With the Marquis of Western Prefecture leading the way, Lin Yun came to a living room in the city lord's mansion.
There were already more than 50 martial artists gathered here, all of them sturdy and powerful.
The weakest among them had already reached the rank 7 Martial Warrior realm. Most of them were rank 8 or 9 Martial Warriors, and a few had already broken through to the Martial Master realm.
There were even three who had reached the rank 3 Martial Master realm.
As soon as Lin Yun walked into the living room, more than 50 pairs of eyes fell on Lin Yun.
There was disdain, contempt, and disdain in these gazes.
"This guy looks very weak, did he just reach the rank 7 Martial Warrior realm?" rdquo;
"City Lord, you can't find them, right? He could only drag this guy to make up the numbers. rdquo;
"I've already proposed to the City Lord to raise the recruitment requirement to the eighth level of the Martial Warrior Realm. But the City Lord didn't listen to my suggestion. Now, he's bringing in such a weak fellow. Isn't this dragging down our overall strength? rdquo;
For a moment, everyone started to mock Lin Yun.
Lin Yun turned a deaf ear to everyone's ridicule and walked to the corner of the living room as if it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Lin Yun didn't respond, the crowd thought that Lin Yun didn't have a temper, so they mocked him even more unscrupulously.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. What are you doing here? Once you lose your life, it'll be too late for regrets." rdquo;
"Young man, this million gold coins is not something you are qualified to take. I sincerely advise you to withdraw from this operation as soon as possible. rdquo;
"If you encounter any danger during tonight's operation, don't expect us to save you. rdquo;
Everyone present didn't think highly of Lin Yun, so they mocked and ridiculed Lin Yun.
Among them, some were experts from large clans who joined the bandit suppression to gain experience.
There were also some nameless rogue cultivators who joined the bandit suppression to earn money.
Even though they were born differently and had different identities, they all had one thing in common. That was that they were all above thirty years old.
It was precisely because of this that they thought that their strength was far above Lin Yun's.
What right did an inexperienced young man like Lin Yun have to receive the same remuneration as them?
Thinking of this, they felt that it was unfair, so they collectively mocked Lin Yun.
Just as everyone was mocking Lin Yun, the door to the living room suddenly opened.
A middle-aged man in bronze armor strode in from outside the living room with several city guards.
This middle-aged man had a sharp nose, his eyes were cold and sharp, and his whole body was filled with killing intent. And his realm had reached the realm of a sixth level Martial Master.
The moment the middle-aged man appeared, the entire living room fell into silence.
All the people who were mocking Lin Yun also shut their mouths.
The middle-aged man walked to the center of the living room, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said to everyone with a cold expression, "I am Zhang Shijie, the commander of the West Prefecture City Guards. Tonight, I will lead you to complete the bandit suppression mission. rdquo;
Hearing Zhang Shijie's words, everyone was immediately full of confidence. With such an expert leading the way, the success rate of the bandit suppression mission would also greatly increase, so they didn't care about Lin Yun who would drag them down.
Everyone ignored Lin Yun.
After a simple self-introduction, Zhang Shijie began to explain to everyone the bandit suppression plan that he and the Marquis of West Prefecture had formulated together.
The general plan was as follows.
The entire bandit suppression team would be divided into two groups.
The first group would be led by Zhang Shijie and more than fifty martial arts experts, quietly sneaking into the bandit camp and killing the bandit leader.
The second group would be led by the Marquis of West Prefecture himself and ambushed around the bandit camp.
As long as the bandit leader was killed, the city guards would launch a frontal attack on the bandit camp and coordinate with more than fifty martial arts experts.
After explaining the battle plan to everyone, Zhang Shijie continued, "Because there are too many people carrying out the mission, the implementation of the infiltration plan will be easily discovered. Therefore, I have decided to divide the people carrying out the mission into three squads. rdquo;
"I will lead the first squad. Two captains will be chosen from among you to lead the second and third squads. rdquo;
"Those whose cultivation is above the Martial Master Realm and have the ability to lead can be the captain if they meet these two conditions. Who among you can meet these two requirements? rdquo;
Some of the people who had planned to volunteer immediately dispelled the idea after hearing the two conditions that Zhang Shijie had mentioned.
About a few seconds later, two middle-aged men in their forties stood out from the crowd.
One of them was skinny and his skin was dry and wrinkled, like a wooden puppet.
One of them had a well-built and muscular body that resembled a stone puppet.
The cultivation of these two people was almost the highest among the martial artists present. Both of them had reached the Third Grade Martial Master Realm.
"What are your names? Rdquo; Zhang Shijie asked the two of them.
"Mu Sen. Rdquo; the middle-aged man who was as thin as a wooden puppet said.
"Shi Lei. Rdquo; the middle-aged man who was as strong as a stone puppet said.
Zhang Shijie nodded with satisfaction. "Mu Sen, you are responsible for leading the second squad. Shi Lei, you are responsible for leading the third squad.
"Yes." Mu Sen and Shi Lei both nodded and cupped their fists respectfully as they replied.
After choosing the captains, the next step was to assign the members.
Zhang Shijie began to personally assign the members of each team to a balanced distribution of strength.
The second squad of fifteen people was led by Mu Sen.
The third squad of fifteen people was led by Shi Lei.
The rest of the people remained in the first squad, led by Zhang Shijie himself.
