In front of this general, Black Robe retracted all of its sharpness and appeared unusually respectful.
It knew very well that there were a few people in the expeditionary army whose strength it could not contend with right now. However, this did not mean it would not be able to contend with them in the future.
After the general left with a group of expeditionary troops, Black Robe slowly walked towards the ruins. Just a day ago, there was still a military camp here, but now it had all vanished into thin air.
The main force of the expeditionary army led by the general occupied about half of the Pyro Company's battlefield. The remaining half rested and reorganized at the Great Wall's defensive line before ordering the captives they had captured to follow Black Robe to the battlefield at Zuoyun Mount.
This was the first time Black Robe had taken control of a small portion of the expeditionary army. The general seemed to be quite satisfied with its performance and started giving it some military authority.
Black Robe walked towards a remote area. As he walked, an angry roar came from an uninhabited ruin. However, the other party's mouth seemed to have been gagged. The roar came from his throat, but it did not attract the attention of the troops in the distance.
Black Robe smiled as he walked. "Valentine, don't struggle in vain. The general has already left with his troops. The expeditionary army that used to follow you have also started following me. I've already moved them away from this area, so no one will discover you. "
Finally, Black Robe arrived beside Valentine. Meanwhile, there were more than a dozen barbarian Experimentals around Valentine who were pressing him to the ground.
However, Valentine was truly powerful. The normal barbarian Experimentals were still a little unable to hold him down.
Black Robe marveled, "What a powerful physique. How wonderful will this world be the moment you become my loyal servant?"
A look of horror flashed in Valentine's eyes. He looked at the gray-skinned "devil" beside him and could not imagine himself becoming a monster that had lost his ability to think for himself.
As a soldier and officer of the expeditionary army, he was not afraid of death. However, he was afraid of becoming an undead monster!
Black Robe took out a syringe from his sleeve. A murky gray liquid was swirling inside. "This is the E021 gene medicine that the Pyro Company researched before The Cataclysm. I specially brought it out from Laboratory 39. Furthermore, I can already mass-produce it in Stronghold 176, so you don't have to worry. Your compatriots will enjoy it in the future."
"Do you Northerners really think you can win this war?" Black Robe said with a smile, "Before I saw the Kyung Clan's nuclear bomb, I also thought we could win easily. But that nuclear bomb destroyed all of my confidence in a second. Why do they still have such a powerful weapon after The Cataclysm? It's really despairing."
When Valentine heard this, his eyes widened. It was obvious he had never heard of something like a nuclear bomb in the Central Plains before.
Black Robe crouched beside him and said in a hoarse voice, "So, regardless of whether the Pyro Company or the Wang Clan loses or wins, if the Central Plains really doesn't have any power left to fend off the expeditionary army, you'll see a missile suddenly flying towards you from above. The huge amount of fuel will push the heavy warhead down and turn everything into ashes in an instant. That's why I never thought the expeditionary army could win.
"After I say this, you must be very curious as to why I encouraged the expeditionary army to invade the south." Black Robe laughed hoarsely. "If you don't die on this land, how can I turn the North into my kingdom? The harsh environment in the North is very tough for you, but my devil doesn't have to be afraid of that. You'll become a loyal devil by my side. If there's a chance, the general will also accompany you. When the time comes, I'll bring you all back to the North. One day, when I'm strong enough to face the Central Plains, I'll bring you all back here. Don't worry, at that time, my troops will still be called the expeditionary army.
Valentin realized Black Robe had actually planned for the expeditionary army to head south from the beginning. Regardless of whether the expeditionary army could defeat the Wang Consortium or the Pyro Company, Black Robe believed it was only a matter of time before the expeditionary army was defeated.
At this moment, Black Robe knocked Valentine unconscious with a palm strike. Then it used a sharp knife to cut a shallow wound on Valentine's arm. Only then did it inject the gray E021 genetic medicine into Valentine's body with a syringe.
Black Robe muttered, "You Northerners are just a little more troublesome. It's very difficult for a normal syringe to penetrate your skin. I have to knock you out first so that the syringe won't get twisted by your muscles."
Black Robe muttered, "You northerners are a little more troublesome. It's very difficult for an ordinary syringe to penetrate your skin. You have to be knocked unconscious to prevent the needle from being twisted by your muscles."
When the gray liquid was pushed into Valentin's body, there were gray threads that looked like tentacles spreading under Valentin's skin until his entire body turned gray.
The next moment, the unconscious Valentin suddenly opened his eyes. Black Robe smiled as he removed the metal ball from his mouth and handed it to Valentin. "Crush it."
However, Valentin's gray eyes were emotionless. He caught the iron ball in his hand and clenched his fist.
The iron ball let out an ear-piercing sound, and then split into two halves.
Black Robe sighed in admiration. "You really are stronger. I will set off for Zuoyun Mount tomorrow. When the time comes, I will be in charge of the vanguard troops that you once led. I will create an opportunity for you. When the time comes, help me steal five hundred people. I want to form my own army."
At this moment, Black Robe did not want to expose anything, so everything could only be carried out secretly.
…
It was already evening at Zuoyun Mount. Ren Xiaosu was sitting on a bunker at the edge of the defensive position and looking at the sunset. Yang Xiaojin came to sit beside him. The two of them seemed to be sitting on the edge of an abyss. Behind them were their comrades, but in front of them were barbarian corpses all over the ground.
Yang Xiaojin said, "It's a good thing the weather is still quite cold. Otherwise, the entire battlefield would be filled with an unpleasant smell."
"How was it today? Did it go well?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
Yang Xiaojin said, "It was alright. There are two good seedlings in the 6th Combat Brigade who are suitable to be snipers. Their hands are steady, and their mentality is calm. They can be trained. But the others are so-so. In the past, there wasn't enough ammunition in the Northwest, so it was very difficult to produce sharpshooters with bullets. "
Now, before the expeditionary army made a comeback, everyone was working hard to do their own things. For example, Ji Zi 'ang was asking Mo Fei for advice on what he should do if he wanted to collapse the other mountains. For example, Wang Yun was wandering around the battlefield to see if he could find any clues from the barbarians.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaojin became the firearms instructor of the 6th Combat Brigade.
Yang Xiaojin suddenly said, "Did you notice that Mo Fei is always sneaking glances at you?"
"I noticed." Ren Xiaosu said, "I suspect he's the Wang Clan's AI, Zero."
