"During the battle against the Viscera Hunters, a whole platoon of us was trapped on the Blood Island. We were surrounded by a sea of Viscera Hunters, waiting for them to dig out our intestines. Our superiors had already given up on us, but the South Wing Platoon came to our rescue. We thought there would be a few dozen South Wing Mages, but there was only one South Wing Platoon. However, he managed to clear a path for us in the sea … that man was Mubai!"
"Our platoon was sunk to the bottom of the sea by the sea monsters. We only survived because the elite patrol of Fanxue Mountain came to our rescue."
"Yeah, I was on guard duty on the island around a month ago. Without the patrol boats from Fanxue Mountain, the grass would have grown on my grave by now."
Many people agreed with the major general's words.
Lin Kang had only been in the city for a year. He had not contributed anything during the early stages of Feiniao City's development. Many people were not convinced that he had been assigned to the city all of a sudden.
Now, they were trying to overthrow Fanxue Mountain too. Fanxue Mountain was one of the earliest factions in Feiniao City. Their philosophy was to fend off the sea monsters and protect the residents. They had saved many lives over the years and earned a good reputation. The Northern Platoon was made up of people from different Domains. Many of them had even joined Fanxue Mountain before being recruited by the Northern Platoon.
How could they possibly bring themselves to do it under the circumstances?
"Vice Platoon Leader, you don't have to threaten us with the military order. We know the consequences of disobeying it, but there are consequences to everything. Mubai is one of the leaders of the Northern Platoon. As long as he's alive, we won't disobey him. If he's dead, we'll obey his orders. It's that simple, "the major general said.
"Yeah, you have to give us a way out. If anything happens to Master Lin Kang, even if the odds are slim, we'll all be executed for killing the chief's kin. "
"Do you really think he's still alive?" Vice Platoon Leader Zhou Yi grinned coldly.
"As long as he's alive, we won't dare to touch him."
"Fine! You guys, when the City Lord brings his head here, I will truthfully report what you said and did just now! "Zhou Yi said.
The major general and the other military leaders in the northern part of the city didn't seem to care.
Lin Kang was determined to eliminate Fanxue Mountain, yet he still dared to target the leaders of the army. He had no one to rely on when the sea monsters were in danger. Did he have no choice but to shoulder the burden himself?
Vice Commander Zhou Yi flicked his sleeves and left. He quickly ran in front of Zhao Jing.
When Zhao Jing saw the expression on his vice commander's face, he immediately understood the role of this trash in the Northern City Legion.
"If Mubai doesn't die, they won't charge." Zhou Yi whispered to Zhao Jing.
"After being cursed by Lin Kang, he's living a life worse than death. It seems like Lin Kang is regressing. In the past, when he took over the army, everyone was willing to work for him in less than a month. Now, they are all like this, "Zhao Jing said disdainfully.
However, it was within his expectations. Zhao Jing did not expect the army to invade while the important members of Fanxue Mountain were still alive.
This was different from a war between enemy nations. Victory or defeat would ultimately depend on the results of the few leaders. The others were more or less just going with the flow.
"Isn't it time for the Nanrong Clan to do something?" Zhao Jing turned around and asked.
"Do you think I'm just a bystander?" Nanrong Ni was displeased when she heard the words.
"HAHAHA, that's not what I meant. I just heard that Nanrong Xu is a tyrant in the south. His strength is unfathomable, so I would like to witness it with my own eyes," Zhao Jing smiled.
"Brother Zhao, if you want to see if Fanxue Mountain has any other trump cards, just say so. I, Nanrong Xu, am not a stingy person. If Fanxue Mountain can be destroyed, I don't mind being your lackey!" Nanrong Xu said.
"Brother, you're overthinking it. I'm just waiting for Lin Kang. Once Lin Kang gets rid of Mubai, I'll immediately team up with him and eliminate the core members of Fanxue Mountain. I won't let the Nanrong Clan down so easily," Zhao Jing said.
"It's still tiring, but we are here for Fanxue Mountain. It's only right for us to contribute. Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, please come with me, "Nanrong Xu said respectfully to the two old men behind him.
The two elders of the Nanrong Clan were a plump man in a mandarin jacket and a skinny man in a Chinese tunic suit. Their hair was black, but their faces were old.
Both of them were resting with their eyes closed, as if they were not too bothered by the conflict.
"I don't like being used as a tool," the skinny old man in the Chinese tunic suit said.
"The resources of Fanxue Mountain will belong to the Nanrong Clan," Zhao Jing declared.
"Let's go," the skinny old man in the Chinese tunic suit nodded and said to the plump old man in the mandarin jacket.
"Mm," the plump old man in the mandarin jacket went forward.
Nanrong Xu was impressed. As expected of the two elders, they had given the Nanrong Clan a great deal of benefits with just a few words.
Zhao Jing looked at the backs of the three people, but his face maintained a calm smile.
The resources of Fanxue Mountain would require a lot of manpower and money. How could those things compare to the Earth Fire Pistil?
That being said, it was understandable.
How many people in the world knew that there was one thing that was absolutely necessary to reach the threshold of a Forbidden Mage: an Earth Pistil with abundant energy!
Zhao Jing was already at the peak of the Super Level. Even if he did not achieve the Perfection Stage like the old Mages, he would not be too far away after a few years.
Most of the old Mages had no intention of becoming a Forbidden Mage. The conditions to become a Forbidden Mage were too harsh.
However, Zhao Jing was different from the old Mages. He was still young, yet he still had a lot of room for improvement. He also had the support of a wealthy empire like the Zhao Clan. Apart from the Earth Fire Pistil, which was extremely difficult to collect, he could easily get his hands on anything that was close to reaching the threshold of a Forbidden Mage.
What he wanted was a Forbidden Mage.
On the other hand, these people did not care about the wealth of Fanxue Mountain, the authority to rule the north of the city, personal grudges, or the resources of Fanxue Mountain … they only cared about the satisfaction of having rotten fruits and rotting corpses, yet they did not care about the privilege of ruling over the fresh meat of the valley.
"A bunch of ignorant pricks, you won't even be qualified to be my shoes and rugs soon enough!" Zhao Jing laughed in his heart.
…
The bloody mist slowly dissipated. Lin Kang's Purgatory of the Undead was indeed terrifying. The bloody ancient battlefield was shrouded in a thick mist of blood. Stepping into it was like stepping into a realm of the underworld.
Zhao Jing was overjoyed.
Even though he had wasted some time, Lin Kang's battle had finally come to an end.
Very well, it was time for him to make his move. He had yet to experience the effects of the Moon Rune. As a matter of fact, there was no need for him to be so cautious. He could bring the Moon Rune to Fanxue Mountain. Could the little fries of Fanxue Mountain really stand a chance against him?
