Among these people, one of them was wearing the same standard armor as Gu Qing Shan, while the other two were wearing greyish-white armor with green stripes.
That was the battle armor of the Imperial Guard Commandant. Although the Imperial Guard Commandant was one rank lower than the Xiao Qi Commandant, it was still a pretty good military rank.
While there was still time, the four of them cupped their fists and greeted each other.
"Li Chu Chen, Spirit Beast Sect."
"Zhang Fang, West Mountain Sword Sect."
"Bai Hai Dong, Yao Guang Sect."
"Gu Qing Shan, Bai Hua sect"
After the four of them finished their introductions, Bai Hai Dong first looked at Gu Qing Shan and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Leng often tells me about you."
"You're Leng Tian Xing's junior brother? We can take care of each other. "Gu Qing Shan also smiled.
The three of them were very young, probably in their early twenties. Zhang Fang and Li Chu Chen were at the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm, while Bai Hai Dong was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.
Gu Qing Shan's realm was the lowest, but she was also the youngest.
But no one looked down on him.
The three of them had all become Foundation Establishment cultivators at a young age, and had even accumulated military merits to enter the ranks of military officers. Any one of them would be a proud son of heaven.
Gu Qing Shan was able to become a Xiao Qi Chaplain, she must have real martial arts, real ability, only then could she reach this step.
Military merits would not lie.
Not to mention, this is Bai Hua Saint's disciple.
The minds of the three youths spun and they understood everything clearly.
Li Chu Chen looked at Gu Qing Shan and clasped his fist: "So it's Sword 15"
Everyone chuckled. It was obvious that the incident at this year's semester examination had spread far and wide.
Bai Hua Sect, a disciple of a Saint, a young sword cultivator, quite famous recently.
Zhang Fang asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu, I saw that you went to the Military Merit Office. Did you gain something?"
Gu Qing Shan looked at him – he was the same as Gu Qing Shan, a Xiao Qi Chaplain, one rank higher than Bai Hai Dong and Zhang Fang.
"Yeah, I've compiled some monster records when I was in the Vanguard and handed them in." Gu Qing Shan said frankly.
The expressions of the other three changed.
This Sword 15, turned out to be from the Vanguard Battalion.
That was the place where the battle was the most intense. It would be great if they could return unscathed.
There were countless different kinds of demons and there were too many to count.
The characteristics and attack abilities of the demons were also very different. When fighting against them, there would often be unexpected situations, causing the cultivators to suffer greatly.
The monster records compiled by Gu Qing Shan can be used to obtain military merits, so they must be genuine, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to escape the eyes of the great cultivators in the Military Merit Department.
Zhang Fang said, "Since you know the monster's weakness, you'll have to worry about it along the way."
His words were clever. He was obviously letting Gu Qing Shan take command, but he made it sound like he was the one who was troubled.
Among the four of them, only he and Gu Qing Shan were Xiao Qi Chaplains.
Since Zhang Fang had the intention to give way, then the person in command must be Gu Qing Shan — — you can't let two Yu Wan Chaplains command the Xiao Qi Chaplains.
Leng Tian Xing's junior brother Bai Hai Dong was the first to agree, Li Chu Chen also nodded in agreement.
Thus, such a temporary small group was born.
A guard cultivator came in and gave the four of them their monthly salary — — Xiao Qi Chaplains get about 300 low-grade spirit stones, Yu Wan Chaplains get 200 low-grade spirit stones.
Zhang Fang put the spirit stones into his bag and said: "I don't know when I'll lose my life, so if I have money, I'll have to spend it. When we get to the camp, I'll treat everyone to a drink"
Gu Qing Shan finished putting on her armor, smiled and said: "You're done treating, it's my turn"
Everyone laughed and laughed, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this time, a guard cultivator came in and called: "Gu Qing Shan, Zhang Fang, Li Chu Chen, Bai Hai Dong, get ready to go"
"Yes!"
The four of them became serious, their relaxed expressions instantly disappeared.
They quickly walked out and went to the General's tent.
A general in golden armor looked at the four of them and said: "You're all Foundation Establishment realm, there's a camp suitable for you"
He ordered: "Take the four of you to Water Valley Camp, immediately set out, no delays"
He then took out a talisman arrow and said: "There's only one whistling arrow, don't use it too easily"
"Yes sir!"
The four of them clasped their fists.
Gu Qing Shan received the whistling arrow and put it into her chest pocket.
Leaving the camp, the four of them rode their spirit beasts and flew into the sky.
A few minutes later.
"How much longer can we fly for?" Zhang Fang asked.
Once they enter the battlefield, any flying target will become a living target for the demons, unless they're a great cultivator, no one would dare to fly in the sky.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the map and said: "After 100 miles, we'll enter the battlefield, we'll have to land and move quickly"
"Got it" everyone nodded, knowing what to do.
No one said anything, but their expressions became cold.
They're about to enter the battlefield.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan waved her hand: "Let's land"
Everyone landed at the same time.
In front of them was a mountain valley and a dense forest, but there wasn't a single bird or insect to be heard.
As if the entire mountain valley had lost its life.
Bai Haidong grabbed a handful of the wind and sniffed it.
"For the past 3 days, there hasn't been any death aura here" he said.
This seems to be his God's Chosen Thaumaturgy, but the other three didn't ask.
No death aura means there aren't any intense battles.
The few of them relaxed a little.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Let's get to know each other a bit first, that way we can split up"
"That's how it should be, I'm an Elemental cultivator, 2nd stage Water" Bai Hai Dong answered.
"My sect is a sword sect, but I'm an expert with the spear" Zhang Fang said.
"I'm a spirit beast master, I have a few scouting spirit beasts, and my martial arts skills are only so-so" Li Chu Chen said.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, saying: "I'm a sword cultivator"
He quickly arranged: "I'll be the vanguard, Zhang Fang will cover the rear, brother Chu Chen will place a few smaller spirit beasts to scout the surroundings, ah right, one behind me as well, Bai Hai Dong will be in the middle, watch over the surroundings"
Hearing that, the three of them answered at the same time: "Got it"
This arrangement couldn't be any better.
Li Chu Chen also calmed down.
He was afraid of running into some ignorant superior officer, so he ordered his spirit beasts to scout ahead.
Battle-type spirit beasts aren't suitable for scouting, and scouting-type spirit beasts can't be the vanguard.
Because if they run into a fierce demon, the demon will just grab and eat it, so it's useless.
Raising a spirit beast is already very difficult, if it dies right away, the spirit beast master will feel a lot of pain.
It's best for spirit beasts to be in the second position, they can move forward or behind, and can also be changed according to the situation.
Once the real battle begins, they'll send out the corresponding spirit beasts to fight.
Gu Qing Shan took the Earth Sword in his hand and led the way into the forest.
When the other three saw that he had an indifferent expression and moved without the slightest hesitation, they were slightly relieved and followed him in.
Two hours later.
The four of them rested.
"With our current speed, we'll reach Water Valley Camp by noon tomorrow" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I'll leave it to you, I'll only do my best" Zhang Fang crossed his arms and said.
Li Chu Chen and Bai Hai Dong also nodded.
Just now, Gu Qing Shan had displayed a lot of experience at the frontline, be it in terms of marching or scouting. Everyone here was also a veteran of the battlefield, so it was only now that they finally recognized him as one of them.
"Very well, I'll take care of the rest" Gu Qing Shan didn't try to push it away and calmly said.
In his past life, he was a strategic commander, so his experience in fighting demons isn't any less than anyone else's, so what he's doing right now is just his old job.
After eating their rations, the four of them continued on their way.
A few hours later, they finally made it through the forest and into the open field.
"Stop!" Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
He squinted his eyes, looking around.
Faintly, he could feel a very faint spirit energy dispersing.
Was there a battle on the field?
When the three people behind him heard his shout, they all stopped in their tracks.
"What is it?" Li Chu Chen put his hand on the spirit beast bag and asked in a low voice.
"Fellow Dao seeker Bai, take a look again" Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
Hearing this, Bai Hai Dong stretched out his hand and grabbed the wind, bringing it to his nose and inhaling deeply.
"The smell of death isn't too strong, but the smell of blood is very heavy, and the stench of demons is the strongest — — – in that direction"
