An hour later, all the guards on the mine, including those in charge of guarding the plane, were gathered at the widest square in the passageway.
"Reporting to General, the Broken Heaven Mountain Range's Mining Corps has 12,139 people, the actual number is 12,139!" A young general in his thirties reported to Zhang Rong in a loud voice. He did not even look at Chu Mo, who was standing beside Zhang Rong.
"Good!" Zhang Rong replied loudly. Then, he looked at the people below and said, "This messenger beside me was sent by the Emperor and General Fang. He has a great responsibility. From now on, the military power of the miners will be handed over to Messenger Chu. You must listen to all of Messenger Chu's orders. Do you understand? "
The 12,000 people below were stunned on the spot. Even though they were elite soldiers who always obeyed orders, they were still shocked when they suddenly heard this news. They did not even understand why this was happening.
Many people looked at Chu Mo with unfriendly gazes. They thought that Chu Mo was someone who came here to seize power.
Chu Mo did not disguise himself. He looked too young. His body was thin and weak, and his face was young. He looked like a teenager. Although he looked very steady. But for such a youth to command their army of more than ten thousand people … and an elite army of more than ten thousand at that, wasn't it a little too childish?
For the first time, the army that always obeyed orders was disobeyed. Although no one whispered to each other, and no one made a loud noise, everyone used silence to resist this sudden and inexplicable military order.
Zhang Rong was a little angry and said loudly, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Chu Mo waved his hand and stopped Zhang Rong, who was about to say something. He took two steps forward and looked at the 10,000 people below.
Many people's bodies and faces were covered in dust, making them look like they were covered in dirt. Some of them were even holding mining tools in their hands.
It was obvious that they had been summoned urgently and did not even have time to put down their tools.
Seeing Chu Mo raise his hand and stop the general from speaking, the elite soldiers below became a little restless.
Although he still didn't do anything, his gaze toward Chu Mo became even more unfriendly.
"I know what you are thinking." Chu Mo said in a deep voice, "I am not here to seize power."
Chu Mo's words calmed the soldiers down a little. However, her gaze towards him was still filled with suspicion.
"The news of the existence of this place … has been leaked." Chu Mo looked at the group of people below and said, "Da Qi is preparing for war with Da Xia. They have prepared millions of soldiers and horses to pass through this passage. I came here to deal with this group of people! I carry the Emperor's order and General Fang's order! I don't have time to explain too much to you! I just want to tell everyone one thing. "
Chu Mo paused for a moment, letting the soldiers digest what he had just said.
Then, he said loudly, "I'm the same as all of you … We're all people of Da Xia! I'm not a top-notch noble, and I'm definitely not a member of the royal family. I didn't come here to gild … I didn't come here to seize power! I'm here to protect my home and my country! To protect our homeland! "
"I don't know what you think of me in your hearts. Young, childish, lack of military experience … these are not important. The most important thing is, you only need to tell me one thing. Do you wish for the Great Qi's cavalry to pass through this tunnel that you have dug with your lives? Do you wish for the Great Qi's cavalry to invade and destroy our Great Xia? "Chu Mo shouted," Tell me, are you willing? "
"No!" The army of more than ten thousand people suddenly let out a roar that seemed to come from the depths of their souls.
This roar naturally carried their dissatisfaction towards this person who had suddenly appeared.
They had been mining here, working hard, just to make the beautiful country behind them stronger and better.
Now, someone suddenly came to them and told them that their secret had been exposed and that an enemy was going to pass through this place. They were going to follow the passage that they had used their lives to dig and destroy their homeland …
How could they be willing? Only a ghost would be willing!
"I know that there are still countless questions in your hearts. You're also confused about the future, and you're afraid of what's going to happen." Chu Mo said in a deep voice, "I don't have the time to explain everything clearly to you. However, I promise you that as long as you agree to cooperate with me … Then … not only will we be able to destroy Da Qi's million-strong army, but we will also let you return home safely! As for the future … "
Chu Mo looked at the group of strong soldiers below, "With such military equipment, do you still need to worry about the future?"
At this time, Zhang Rong walked to Chu Mo's side and said loudly, "We're soldiers! What's the mission of a soldier? "
"To protect our homeland!" More than twelve thousand people shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
"Then, what's the most basic quality of a soldier?" Zhang Rong asked again.
"To obey orders!"
"Good, then from now on, I will hand over the token that represents the Miner Regiment to Envoy Chu …" Zhang Rong said as he took out a palm-sized, silver-white token.
When Chu Mo saw this token, the corner of his mouth twitched. This token was actually carved from a single piece of top-grade yuan stone!
It really has the characteristics of an army!
Chu Mo thought to himself.
At this time, Zhang Rong was about to hand the token to Chu Mo.
At this time, a deep voice suddenly shouted, "General Zhang, please wait."
Following this deep voice, the young general in his thirties, who was in charge of gathering these soldiers, leaped onto the stage.
Zhang Rong frowned slightly and asked, "He Xu, what's the meaning of this?"
"General, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to ask this envoy a few questions." The young general He Xu said as he cupped his fists towards Chu Mo, "I'm He Xu, the deputy general of this Miner Regiment. May I ask the envoy, how do you plan to destroy Da Qi's million-strong army? Do you have a battle plan? Also … are you familiar with the terrain of this tunnel? Do you? With just over ten thousand of us against a million-strong army, I'm afraid we won't even be able to cause a ripple. We will be destroyed immediately. In that case, how do you plan to destroy the million-strong army? With your mouth? "
"He Xu!" Zhang Rong was slightly angry. This He Xu had always thought highly of himself. Although they did not come from a prestigious background, these people had been working in the Yuan stone mines all year round, so they naturally had no lack of Yuan stones. Therefore, in the past ten years, everyone's cultivation base had improved rapidly!
This group of soldiers might look like miners, but at the same time, they were a group of top-notch elites that Da Xia had secretly nurtured!
In the future, once this group of people left the mountains, they would immediately become an invincible army!
