Su Mo wasn't sure if General Zhu Long had purposely arranged for him to be with Zhu Tong or if it was just a coincidence.
He and Zhu Tong had a grudge because of the banquet. Zhu Tong had once revealed his murderous intent towards him. If this arrangement was done on purpose by Zhu Long, then he had to be on guard.
"Yes!"
Su Mo did not hesitate and immediately stood up to receive the order. Zhu Tong and another general of the garrison, Huo Yi, also stood up to receive the order.
Then, the three of them strode out of the main hall and returned to the camp.
General Zhu Long and Commander Jin Tai stared at Su Mo's back for a while. They only looked away when Su Mo walked out of the main hall.
General Zhu Long continued to issue orders.
After Su Mo left the main hall, he strode out of the Mansion with Zhu Tong and Huo Yi.
Huo Yi was a burly middle-aged man with a tanned face and a small stubble on his chin. His cultivation rank was not low as he had reached the Rank 5 Martial Honorable Realm.
"Both of you, let's gather at the entrance of the fort!" Huo Yi said to Su Mo and Zhu Tong before his body flashed and he left hurriedly.
The main camp of the fortress's garrison was not with the Black Cloud Army's Red Dragon Camp.
Su Mo and Zhu Tong both nodded their heads in agreement.
"Su Mo, although we have some grudges, military affairs are important and we need to work together to complete this mission!" Zhu Tong's eyes fell on Su Mo as he spoke in a low voice.
"Of course!" Su Mo nodded. However, he was a little surprised. Was Zhu Tong going to let bygones be bygones?
Su Mo sneered. He did not believe that the other party was a Rank 8 Martial Honoured Realm martial artist with a high cultivation level. How could he resolve his grudge with Su Mo?
Moreover, his perception was very sharp. He had clearly felt the killing intent from the other party.
Having said that, Su Mo's body flashed and he quickly flew toward the camp.
Zhu Tong did not waste any time and he quickly returned to the camp with Su Mo.
After Su Mo returned to the camp, he immediately gathered the 10 squads under his command.
Soon, the ten squads, a total of 97 people, were gathered.
The platoon he was in charge of didn't have enough people because a few of the team leaders had left with Zhu Ying. Currently, there were only 97 people left.
Under the lead of Heng Fei, Ge Li, Wang Xi, and the other captains, the ninety-seven scarlet-armored soldiers lined up neatly in a square formation. They looked cold, murderous, and imposing.
Su Mo stood in front of the soldiers, glanced around and nodded to himself.
The squadron under him was not weak. Among the squad leaders, 5 of them had reached the Rank 1 Martial Honorable Realm. Heng Fei had also broken through to the Martial Honorable Realm half a month ago.
More than 90% of the remaining people were high-level Martial Emperor Realm warriors. The remaining 10% were all Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm warriors.
"All of you will follow me to the Dark Mountain Iron Mine and kill the Blood Pupil Clan members who are occupying the mine. The spoils of war will belong to you!" Su Mo looked at the crowd and said loudly.
"Yes!" Nearly a hundred soldiers shouted in unison. Their eyes shone with excitement and their desire to fight.
They had been cooped up in Saint Emperor City for the past two years and hadn't had a chance to go out to battle. But now, their chance had finally come.
Going out to battle was the best opportunity to earn resources. The more people they killed, the more resources they would obtain.
In the army of the Imperial Ancestor Court, the spoils of war that they killed belonged to them. This was also the source of morale in the army.
"However, you are not allowed to fight for the spoils of war. Whoever dares to snatch the spoils of war from others will be punished according to the military law!" Su Mo added.
This was something that had to be reminded. The spoils of war belonged to the person who killed the enemy. Otherwise, if everyone fought for the spoils of war, wouldn't it be a mess?
"Understood!" The crowd shouted loudly. They naturally knew about this matter.
"Alright, let's go!"
Su Mo waved his hand and immediately turned around. He flew out of the camp and the soldiers followed behind him.
Not long later, Su Mo led the soldiers to the gate of the fort.
At that moment, Huo Yi had already brought his men and was waiting there.
Huo Yi had a lot of men with him, about a thousand of them. However, their cultivations were not high. More than half of them were Martial Royal Realm warriors. Other than Huo Yi, there were only three Martial Honorables.
Of course, in this batch of troops, Huo Yi and his men were obviously not the main force. Zhu Tong and his men from the Black Cloud Army were the main force.
Huo Yi's men were not the only ones at the gate of the fort. There were many other troops and tens of thousands of them were bustling with activity.
There were a total of 17 places that were occupied by the Blood Pupil Clan. There were about 3,000 troops in each place and there was a total of about 50,000 to 60,000 troops.
Su Mo, Zhu Tong and Huo Yi were heading to the Dark Mountain Iron Mine. Those who had been sent to other places had also gathered at the gate of the fort.
A few batches of people had already gathered and left the fort. However, there were more people who were still waiting.
"General Huo, has Zhu Tong not arrived yet?" Su Mo came to Huo Yi and asked in a deep voice.
"He has not arrived yet. Leader Su, let's wait a little longer!" Huo Yi said. He did not look down on Su Mo just because his cultivation was low.
Red Dragon Camp was famous in the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction. Although there were only 3,000 people in the camp, it was a sharp knife in the army.
"Mm!" Su Mo nodded his head. Zhu Tong definitely had many men and it would take some time to gather them.
As Su Mo waited, he frowned and pondered. If he was not wrong, Zhu Tong would definitely attack him.
However, Su Mo was not too afraid. Even if Zhu Tong was a Rank 8 Martial Honorable, it would not be easy for him to kill Su Mo.
Firstly, he had the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda with him. This pagoda should be a Middle Sacred Weapon or even an Upper Sacred Weapon. Its power was so great that it could double his strength.
Secondly, he had managed to merge the Chaotic Energy. As long as he seized the opportunity to fight against an enemy, it would definitely be a great killing weapon.
As such, although he did not have the confidence to defeat Zhu Tong, he had the confidence to protect himself.
Just as Su Mo was deep in thought, a soldier from the Black Cloud Army walked out of the tens of thousands of troops that had gathered at the gate.
The soldier walked slowly and arrived in front of the guards led by Huo Yi. He whispered a few words to one of the guards and then retreated.
This scene was very normal and it did not attract much attention.
This Black Cloud Army soldier retreated back to the Black Cloud Army and then came to the front of a skinny general.
This general was Jin Lu.
"General, they are going to the Dark Mountain Iron Mine!" The soldier reported to Jin Lu.
"Mm!" Jin Lu nodded his head. His eyes turned and looked through the crowd at Su Mo, who was not far away.
As he had left the Mansion of the City Governor earlier, he did not know where Su Mo would be sent to.
He had seen Su Mo and Huo Yi talking to each other just now. Hence, he had ordered his soldiers to ask the soldiers under Huo Yi.
"Dark Mountain Iron Mine?" Jin Lu muttered to himself. He was very familiar with the location of the mine. He had made preparations beforehand and understood the 17 lands that had been conquered.
