The Yaron man's face darkened when he heard the words. He subconsciously unleashed his aura in Zhang Xiaohou's direction.
He finally took a closer look at Zhang Xiaohou. It felt like he was inspecting Zhang Xiaohou in an unfriendly manner.
The Yaron man blurted out in surprise when he saw Zhang Xiaohou's rank, "Huh, I didn't think a little place like this would have a major general!"
"So can we talk nicely now?" Zhang Xiaohou did not show the man any respect, either.
He had never seen anyone who would swagger into someone else's military relay station and order them around without even reporting their identity!
"I'm Li Dexin from the Violet Imperial Battalion. These men behind me are my comrades. We have received an urgent order from a general from the headquarters. He wants us to head to the Qinling Mountains to rescue the general's family who are trapped in the mountains. We can't afford to make any mistakes," the man riding the Yaron said.
"The Violet Imperial Battalion!" the captain beside Zhang Xiaohou blurted out in surprise.
The Violet Imperial Battalion was the most reputable battalion in the Central Plains. Every Mage in the army hoped to be selected by the Violet Imperial Battalion and become a special member of the army.
The Violet Imperial Battalion was like a special force. The missions they were assigned to were difficult for ordinary Mages to complete. They never thought the Violet Imperial Battalion would show up all of a sudden.
The Battlemages of the Violet Imperial Battalion had heard of them before. The Battlemages guarding the entrance saluted them to show their respect.
Zhang Xiaohou did not salute them. He looked at the Violet Imperial Battalion Mage called Li Dexin and said, "That's your order. What does it have to do with me?"
"What do you mean by that? The Violet Imperial Battalion is on an important mission. The other battalions will do their best to assist us. You're just the commander of a small relay station. Is there a problem with you helping us?" Li Dexin harrumphed coldly. He was not pleased with Zhang Xiaohou's attitude.
"Our ranks are the same, so it's up to me whether I should help you or not. I still have other things to do. If you want to enter the Qinling Mountains, go around the town and head northwest. There's a path up the mountain. I won't be seeing you off," Zhang Xiaohou said bluntly.
"Major General, they are from the Violet Imperial Battalion. It won't do us any harm to help them complete their mission. In my opinion, we should …" Commander Gao said.
Commander Gao was the commander-in-chief of this relay station. In fact, this relay station was also under his command. However, Zhang Xiaohou was the commander-in-chief of all the military relay stations, military towns, and military camps in the Qinling Mountains. He was Commander Gao's immediate superior.
Since Zhang Xiaohou was here, Commander Gao, as the boss of the relay station, naturally had to listen to Zhang Xiaohou.
As a matter of fact, Li Dexin of the Violet Imperial Battalion was quite surprised. The highest rank in a military town like this was only a Commander. It was not a problem for him to give orders directly. He did not expect a major general to show up!
However, Li Dexin did not really think Zhang Xiaohou was a major general. How could a major general in the Violet Imperial Battalion be the same as a major general in the mountains? They were both mayors, but the mayors of the mountains and the mayors of the municipalities were two different things!
There was nothing wrong with Zhang Xiaohou's direct rejection.
Besides, Zhang Xiaohou was quite displeased by the man's disdainful attitude.
There were rules in the army. When entering someone else's military base, the first thing one had to do was to report one's position. Some military bases did not even allow other local armies to enter. Although the Qin Border Town was not a completely secret base, if the other party wanted to enter, they had to at least report their military credentials and position at the entrance!
Not only did the Violet Imperial Battalion fail to do so, Zhang Xiaohou was even more displeased when the man did not even ask him, the commander-in-chief of the Qinling Mountains, for his help!
How could the man not tell him when he was trying to get his men from his territory?
What kind of place was the Qinling Mountains? If he did not pick the right time and season, he would be digging his own grave if he went there. Even if he had asked, Zhang Xiaohou might not have agreed to help!
The Violet Imperial Battalion was indeed a special force, but Zhang Xiaohou had no intention of being their lackey.
"There should only be one major general in the Qinling Mountains. I believe you must be General Zhang Xiaohou, who was appointed not long ago?" At this moment, behind the burly wyvern, a staff officer walked up. He first saluted to Zhang Xiaohou and then said.
Zhang Xiaohou also returned a military salute, but did not say anything.
"It's like this, we heard that there's a strange Wind of Sorrow in the Qinling Mountains. Those who are unfamiliar with the Qinling Mountains will die a horrible death to the strange wind. The mission we are carrying out is indeed very urgent. It's our fault that we didn't inform you in time. We hope you can help us. The Violet Imperial Battalion will be very grateful, "the advisor humbled himself.
"That's more like it. It would be easier if you were acting like this from the start," Zhao Manyan blurted out.
"What do you mean? Who the hell do you think you are!?" Li Dexin looked down at Zhao Manyan.
"I've already promised my friends that I will bring them to the Qinling Mountains. If you want to go, you can choose from General Gao's men," Zhang Xiaohou was kind enough to give them a way out of the embarrassing situation.
"Well, if General Zhang is going to the Qinling Mountains too, why don't you come with us? From what I know, I'm sure you are the only person who knows the Qinling Mountains better than anyone else. This mission is related to the lives of the members of the Si Family. Their lives are at stake, so I hope that General Zhang can help us. "The short staff officer said sincerely.
Zhang Xiaohou did not accept the suggestion right away. He looked at Mofan.
"Where are you going? Which part of the Qinling Mountains are you looking for? "Mofan asked the advisor.
"Here." The short staff officer was well-prepared. He immediately took out a detailed drawing.
"Houzi, are we heading in the same direction?" Mofan asked.
"It's quite convenient," Zhang Xiaohou replied.
"Let's go together then. It doesn't matter if they come with us. They might be able to lend us a hand when the time comes," Mofan said.
Mofan did not mind tagging along. The Violet Imperial Battalion was fairly strong, especially the guy riding a Yaron.
If the journey was going to be dangerous, it would be safer with a few more people!
"Brother Fan, you don't have to worry about them," Zhang Xiaohou said to Mofan.
"It's fine, it's more fun with more people," Mofan said.
"Right, right, do you see that woman at the back? Wow, she's so hot! "Zhao Manyan said.
