"Zhu Ying!" Ren Yun Du squinted his eyes when he saw the handsome young man in silver armor.
Zhu Ying was a genius of the Zhu Family. He had been with the army since he was young and had fought many battles. At a young age, he had already become a Lieutenant General, which was one rank higher than Ren Yun Du.
The Lieutenant General was a Lieutenant General. It was a type of general, but it was not a high rank.
"Deputy Lieutenant Ren, may I know why you are here?" Zhu Ying looked at Ren Yun Du and asked with a smile.
It was obvious that Zhu Ying knew Ren Yun Du.
"We are here on the orders of the Eighth Prince to carry out a mission. This is the document from the military quarters!" Ren Yun Du said. He then flipped his palm and a piece of animal skin appeared in his hand.
Zhu Ying did not check the document and nodded his head, saying, "The general has ordered you to go to the west and guard the mine. Assist the guards there and ensure the safety of the mine!"
"What?" Ren Yun Du's face darkened. They were all geniuses of the Shenwu Academy and their cultivation ranks were at the Martial Emperor Realm.
Especially him, his cultivation rank was at the peak of the Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm and his combat strength was comparable to an Honorable.
Yet, General Zhu Long had sent them to guard the small mine.
Guarding the mine was not as simple as guarding it. It was also hard work as they had to mine the mine.
Was Zhu Long treating them as hard work?
The faces of the other Shenwu Academy disciples darkened. They were here to participate in the war.
If there was a war, they would fight. If there was no war, they would cultivate peacefully.
Now, they had been sent to do hard work.
"What? Do you dare to disobey the military orders? "Zhu Ying's face turned cold as he asked.
"I don't dare!" Although Ren Yun Du was furious, he did not dare to disobey the military orders. Since they had been sent here by the military quarters, they were under General Zhu Long's command.
"That's for the best. This is the general's order. You may go!" Zhu Ying nodded his head. With a flick of his arm, a jade talisman flew down from the tower.
Ren Yun Du took the Jade Charm and checked it. It was indeed General Zhu Long's order. He had been ordered to lead the group to guard the mine.
"Let's go!" Ren Yun Du did not say much. He called out to Su Mo and the rest and flew towards the west. Very quickly, he disappeared into the horizon.
"General Wei, are we just going to let these people guard the mountain mine?" A tall black-armored soldier asked Zhu Ying doubtfully.
"Of course not!"
Zhu Ying shook his head and sneered, "These people are the claws and teeth of the Eighth Prince, Gu Tian Yi. Do you know why the Eighth Prince often sends people into the army to participate in battles?"
"Is it to nurture their own forces?" the black-armored soldier said.
"That's right! When these people leave Shenwu Academy, they will enter the army and take up important positions. This will strengthen the Eighth Prince's power! "
Zhu Ying spoke slowly. Then, his eyes turned cold and he continued, "However, compared to the Third Prince and the Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince is still far too weak. They will not allow the Eighth Prince to grow stronger!"
"I see!" A smile appeared on the face of the black-armored soldier. It seemed like the Third Prince was going to make a move against the Eighth Prince.
Their first task was to kill the Eighth Prince's minions.
…
The mountain mine was not far from the Black Mountain Fort and was located deep in the black mountains. Because it was in the middle of a few mountains, it was named the mountain mine.
Not long after, Su Mo and the group arrived at the mountain mine.
Looking down from the sky, there was not a single person in the deep valley. It was as if it was a barren land.
However, the group could feel a strong aura hidden in the valley.
"Let's go down!" Ren Yun Du ordered and led the group down into the valley.
"Who is it?"
The moment the group landed in the valley, a loud shout rang out and a thick killing intent filled the air.
Shoosh shoosh shoosh!
Immediately after, a few hundred black-armored soldiers flew out from the caves and surrounded the group.
These soldiers were mostly of the Martial King Realm and Martial Royal Realm. There were less than 50 Martial Emperors.
The leader of the group was a skinny middle-aged general. He wore bronze armor and his body was filled with the aura of an Honorable.
"We are here on General Zhu Long's orders to help guard the mountain mine!" Ren Yun Du cupped his fists towards the middle-aged general.
"Do you have the order!" The middle-aged general looked at the group and asked coldly.
Ren Yun Du immediately passed the Jade Seal that Zhu Ying had given him to the middle-aged general.
The middle-aged general looked at the Jade Seal and nodded. He then cupped his fists towards Ren Yun Du and said in a deep voice, "Deputy Commander Ren, I am sorry!"
Although the middle-aged general was a Martial Honorable, he was only a Deputy Commander and had the same rank as Ren Yun Du.
However, although the middle-aged general was apologizing, he did not look apologetic at all.
"You are too kind!" Ren Yun Du also cupped his fists towards the middle-aged general.
"Since you have come to the mountain mine, you will have to listen to my orders from now on. Do you have any objections?" The middle-aged general asked.
"No!" The group shook their heads.
"That's good. You will first dig a shelter in the valley and then be responsible for guarding the area. You will take turns every month. Next month, you will start mining the mine!" The middle-aged general ordered.
"Yes!" Ren Yun Du nodded his head helplessly. Since they were here, they could only follow orders.
However, he was afraid that he would not be able to gain much from this training mission.
Fortunately, this training period was not long. He had applied to the Military Quarters for a time limit of half a year. Once the time limit was up, he would immediately return to the Military Quarters.
With that, the group started to move. They dug a large number of caves in the valley for them to rest in.
In the following period of time, the group really became guards and guarded the valley every day.
Not only that, the group was also divided into 10 small teams and they often patrolled the vicinity of the valley.
This mountain mine was under the ground of the valley and it was connected to the Dragon's Vein. It produced a large number of Higher Grade Spiritual Stones and occasionally, Lower Spiritual Crystals would be produced.
As such, this place was watched by the Tuo Luo Ancient Country and the Blood Pupil Clan. They often came to attack and they had to guard against it.
Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. This month was peaceful.
As for Su Mo, in this month, he had successfully broken through to the Rank 5 Martial Emperor Realm.
Once he had accumulated enough strength, the bottleneck of the realm would naturally loosen and it would be easy for him to break through to the next realm. This was far better than him forcefully breaking through to the next realm.
On this day, Su Mo and the group were all gathered by the middle-aged general.
