The Devil's Training
Lin Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Tell them not to be afraid of difficulties. If they want to improve their strength, they will have to endure hardships. Of course, if they feel that they can't take it, they can choose to withdraw now. Otherwise, once they enter the Devil Cloud Mountain, there will be no turning back. Moreover, I don't like deserters!"
"Yes!"
Tian Xiaoman nodded and went out to inform the army.
Lin Ling was still looking at the map, "The miasma in the Devil Cloud Mountain is very thick. However, I have refined many elixirs that can prevent the miasma. The most important thing is that the Devil Cloud Mountain is an illusion formed by the miasma!"
"These illusions can increase a martial artist's soul force. It is also suitable for me!"
A few days later, the army arrived at the foot of the Demonic Cloud Mountain. As far as the eye could see, the vast ancient mountains were stacked on top of each other, and one couldn't see the end of them. Only dense forests could be seen, and the entire Endless Mountain Range was silent, as if it was a corner that had been abandoned by the world!
Lin Ling stood on a peak and looked into the distance. Then, his eyes focused and the lost time reappeared in his eyes. In the next moment, his eyes lit up.
"Deputy, pass down my order. Advance to the southeast!"
"Yes!"
Tian Xiaoman immediately obeyed the order and left!
Lin Ling smiled and looked towards the southeast. Previously, through the lost time, he saw that the illusion was the strongest. However, other than the illusion, there didn't seem to be any powerful demonic beasts. Therefore, that path was the most suitable!
Although he wanted to train his army, he also knew that he had to act according to his ability. A path that was too strong was not suitable for the army to advance. Otherwise, the entire army would be wiped out. Therefore, the southeast was the best choice!
The army advanced along the southeast. Gradually, the miasma spread and many martial artists were poisoned. For a moment, some people were panicking. Many people actually wanted to leave this place and escape!
Lin Ling was indifferent from the beginning to the end. He gave the order and the army continued to advance. For a moment, out of the 50,000 people, 2,000 people left the army and turned around to escape. As they ran, they cursed Lin Ling, saying that Lin Ling had led them to a dead end. This caused the army to panic for a moment!
Fortunately, the remaining people did not choose to leave and continued to advance resolutely.
On this day, Lin Ling ordered the army to stop.
"I know that a lot of people are dissatisfied with me. A lot of people think that I'm leading the wrong way, which makes a simple marching mission complicated!"
On the mountain peak, Lin Ling was dressed in white armor as he looked down at the crowd below. His aura was steady, and his words carried a boundless aura, causing the army below the mountain peak to fall silent!
"Your family is under the protection of His Majesty the Second Prince, so you don't have to worry about being bullied by other forces. Every month, you receive a large number of Spirit Crystals. This is His Majesty the Second Prince's contribution to your family. However, there must be a return for a contribution. Otherwise, why would His Majesty the Second Prince protect you? What right do you have to ask the Second Prince to save you when times are changing? Therefore, if there is a return, there must be a return! "
Lin Ling's calm voice slowly spread out, "There's no free lunch in this world. Since you've chosen to become soldiers, then it's your duty to obey orders. Regardless of whether it's a path of death or a path of survival, since you've been given an order, then you can only continue forward!"
He led the army through the most difficult path. In fact, he was also eliminating those who had the potential to rebel. Lin Ling did not want these people!
Fortunately, there were not many such people, so Lin Ling was quite satisfied!
"I know that some of you are nervous, but you've all passed my test. Next, each of you will receive an elixir and prepare to enter the miasma mountain. At that time, the devilish training will begin!"
Lin Ling said again, and then he sneered, "Perhaps you'll be glad that those rebels don't have to receive the devilish training. However, I can tell you that from this afternoon onwards, the entire Demon Cloud Mountain will be surrounded by miasma. Without the antidote elixir, death is certain. Since they've chosen to betray us, they have no right to enjoy the protection of the elixir!"
As soon as these words came out, a large number of whispers came from below. Not long ago, they were still envious of those who had escaped, thinking that they had escaped from the sea of suffering. Who knew that turning around and running away would lead to a dead end!
This made them rejoice that they had persevered!
"Sir, what's the devilish training? As long as Sir dares to say it, we will accept it! " Someone yelled out from below. Many of them were looking forward to it. They dared to choose to stay because they had their own ambitions. They wanted to become a powerful soldier and become famous in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom!
"Ke-Ke!"
Lin Ling let out a faint smile. "This training is to test your mental fortitude. I can tell you that once you pass the devilish training, your future potential will be limitless. If you fail, you will become a cripple forever!"
"Set off!"
With a wave of his hand, Lin Ling led the majestic army towards the southeast direction!
The army traveled for a day and was safe and sound. There weren't any powerful demonic beasts blocking the way. It was the same for the second day, but from the third day onwards, many of them went crazy!
Illusions appeared when they were sleeping, when they were eating, and even when they were marching!
In the illusions, their loved ones were killed by the enemy, and their clans were massacred!
Some of them had their loved ones humiliated to death by the enemy!
Some of them had their parents dismembered by the enemy!
Some of them had encountered the greatest torment in their lives, with broken limbs and unbearable pain!
These were the illusions brought by the miasma. Lin Ling might have given elixirs to prevent the soldiers from being affected by the miasma, but it didn't prevent them from being affected by the illusions!
From the third day onwards, the army camp was in complete chaos!
"Commander, it's not good. Something is wrong with everyone!"
Tian Xiaoman anxiously ran into Lin Ling's living quarters and spoke with concern!
"I know, and I know that it is about time for you to enter the illusions. These illusions start from the weak and start to the strong. The strongest person will face the illusions the last, but it will become increasingly terrifying!" Lin Ling sat on the chair and let out a faint smile!
"Ah?"
Tian Xiaoman opened her mouth wide in disbelief. It seemed like the Commander already knew about it!
"Pass down my orders. Stay true to your hearts. After this ordeal, you will all be reborn!" Lin Ling shouted.
Tian Xiaoman's eyes narrowed. She vaguely understood what was going on. The Commander wanted to use the illusions to train the soldiers' hearts, turning them into a firm army of tigers and wolves!
"Yes!"
Tian Xiaoman walked out of the living quarters.
After that, the army did not set off. Instead, they set up camp and slowly enjoyed the invasion of the illusions!
However, after Lin Ling's words spread, many people's hearts became clear. They knew the purpose of this trip, so they were all resisting with all their might.
