"How could this kid be so kind as to buy a newspaper for us to read?" The heroic spirits were in disbelief, but the newspaper was right in front of them. Ren Xiaosu's innocent smile made him look like a good person.
It had been a long time since they had a good look at a newspaper. Their plan of dividing up the work as if they were going to war was finally over today.
Thinking of this, the Heroic Spirits were actually a little touched.
But before they could start reading the newspaper, they heard Ren Xiaosu squat down and point at the newspaper on the ground. He said, "Look at this report from Hope Media. The guardian of Luoyang City is referring to me. That battle was earth-shattering. It was as if the entire city was filled with enemies …"
"Look at this one. It's about me leading the Sixth Brigade of the Northwest Army to fight against the northern barbarians at Zuoyun Mount. That battle was very tragic. We used 6,000 men to hold back 72,000 men. Of course, this definitely has something to do with my wise leadership …"
"Then, look at this interrogation record. It talks about how I avenge others and uphold justice …"
As the Einherjars looked at it, they realized that something was wrong. These newspapers were not from today at all. Instead, they were from many days ago, and they had been specially pulled together.
And the one thing that all the newspapers had in common was that they all praised Ren Xiaosu!
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Everyone, take a good look at these newspapers and you'll understand how reliable I am. I'm sure you've all heard of Hope Media before. They're very fair and just, and their reports can't be wrong. If you follow me, the brilliant and mighty Commander of the Northwest Army, I guarantee that you will go to places outside the Northwest and wipe out the Magi organizations! "
The heroic spirits were about to throw up. "You're not the commander of the Northwest Army yet. Even if you were, don't try to trick us into becoming your private army!"
"Boy, how shameless and narcissistic are you to collect all the newspapers that praise yourself?"
"You should just give up on this idea!"
"Quickly hand over today's newspaper!"
Ren Xiaosu sighed. Why were these heroic spirits so hard to convince?
To be honest, when he saw so many Heroic Spirits, he was very tempted. There were too many of them. With this group of Heroic Spirits, what couldn't he do?
Why would he have to wait for the warlock organizations to attack Fortress 178? He could probably wipe them out by himself!
What was the concept of more than 200,000 unkillable mobile machine gun emplacements? Not to mention a wizard, even an immortal wouldn't be able to do it.
However, when faced with this group of heroic spirits, Ren Xiaosu's charisma was not enough to convince them.
If they were soldiers from the 6th Combat Brigade, they would have left with Ren Xiaosu a long time ago. However, these Hero Spirits had never fought alongside Ren Xiaosu before, so there was no basis for trust.
"Forget it, I can't force you." Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Do you want to read today's newspaper?"
The Heroic Spirits clamored, "Kid, stop talking nonsense and hand over the newspaper."
"Sure." Ren Xiaosu took out today's newspaper and tore it in half. He kept half of it and took the other half with him.
He tore the newspaper horizontally, so the Hero Spirits could only read half of almost every piece of news.
"You wicked bastard, come back here!"
"Holy shit!"
"How did our Northwest Army end up with such a wicked bastard …."
As it was daytime, Ren Xiaosu could not stay in Bronze Bell Square for too long. After all, it would be weird for the residents to see him talking to himself here.
Therefore, he only came here for a short while every day to argue with the Hero Spirits before leaving with half of the newspaper.
The Hero Spirits were speechless. Although everyone was living a life where they could read the newspaper every day, they might as well not read it at all!
Moreover, news of Ren Xiaosu coming to Bronze Bell Square every day to deliver the newspaper slowly spread.
The residents who passed by Bronze Bell Square would occasionally discuss, "It's been more than a week since Young Marshal came to Fortress 178 to mourn the martyrs every day. It looks like he really respects these seniors a lot."
"That's right. Our Northwest Army's Young Marshal is not only good at fighting, but also has a good moral character. He's also nostalgic. He's really a blessing for our Northwest!"
"If the martyrs knew about this in the afterlife, they would definitely be very happy!"
However, when the Hero Spirits heard the words of these passersby, they felt like they had been stabbed in the heart. They roared, "That kid is not here to mourn us at all, alright?!"
"He's just here to piss us off!"
"Open your eyes wide. You must see his true colors!"
But no matter how hard they roared, the residents of Fortress 178 were destined not to hear their complaints.
Of course, when there was no one around in the middle of the night, the Hero Spirits would occasionally discuss other things. Commander Li suddenly said, "You've all read the newspaper about that kid. Tell me what you think."
"The news didn't specifically mention his military command skills, so I don't think he's that good. However, the report on Mount Zuoyun did mention that he has a genius military commander by his side. That genius should be his confidant."
"I don't think there are many commanders who can hold off 70,000 people for half a month with just 6,000 people."
"Putting everything else aside, just look at the news about the interrogation and the battle at Luoyang City. That kid's combat prowess is really high. He can be considered the ceiling of our Northwest Army in history."
"That's true. With such a commander, there's no need to be afraid of assassinations in battle at all."
At this moment, a Hero Spirit suddenly said, "Have you guys ever thought about what would happen if he dies in battle one day, and Big Molar is brought to Bronze Bell Square by someone? If we can't even defeat him …."
As soon as this was said, all the Hero Spirits gasped. They had never considered this problem from such a tricky angle before.
Now, they were all scolding Ren Xiaosu for being immoral. When he arrived at Bronze Bell Square, with that kid's immoral character, would there still be a day of peace for them? It was simply unimaginable!
"Although it's a little hard to accept, I wish this kid a long life and a natural death. Please don't die on the battlefield and become a martyr …"
Under normal circumstances, if one didn't die on the battlefield, Big Molar wouldn't be brought here.
Commander Li asked again, "What do you guys think of his suggestion?"
"Commander Li, are you talking about following him to wipe out the wizard organization?"
"That's right," Commander Li said.
"What do you mean, Commander?"
Commander Li said, "Although I also want to take revenge on those wizards and let the people of the Northwest live and work in peace, I think it's better to wait and see. After all, once we accept his summons, we'll become his private army. If he grows stronger and wants to expand his territory, it won't be in line with the beliefs of the Northwest."
"Then let's listen to Commander Li and ignore him for now!"
"Let's wait and see!"
