The Barbarian Suppression Army was a powerful army belonging to the Great Xia Dynasty. It was personally overseen by the Barbarian Suppression King, one of the top ten experts of the Great Xia Dynasty. The army had a total of 150,000 soldiers and was responsible for stopping the invasion of the Barbarians.
The conflict between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Barbarians had never stopped. The Wolf Smoke Mountain Range was the border between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Barbarians.
Yang Wu and the others were prison slaves and were criminals. If they wanted to get rid of this identity, the only way was to earn merit points.
However, this path was full of hardships, tribulations and dangers. It could even be a situation where there was a slim chance of survival.
One hundred thousand jin of red steel and one hundred Barbarian heads. These two conditions were indispensable.
One hundred thousand jin of red steel could be slowly accumulated and there was a chance to reach one hundred Barbarian heads. However, to obtain one hundred Barbarian heads, one would have to enter the death battle between the Death Legion and the Barbarians. The slightest carelessness could lead to death. Basically, out of ten prison slaves, seven would die. One or two would be seriously injured.
The reason why the Death Legion was called "Death Legion" was because this legion was completely different from the other legions. They were all death warriors. If they could survive, it would be a great blessing.
Yang Wu and Shou Hou definitely wanted to enter the Death Legion to earn merit points. As for Little Man, she also wanted to walk this path. However, with Wan Lanxin's protection, she could open the back door and reduce the risks for her.
Wan Lanxin also wanted to open the back door for Yang Wu and Shou Hou. However, Yang Wu was determined to enter the Death Legion. He didn't want others to find any reason to deal with him in the future.
Shou Hou would follow Yang Wu even if he had to die. Even if he died on the battlefield, he wouldn't be afraid.
Shou Hou was very clear that Yang Wu was his benefactor. That blind fortune teller had said that he, Shou Hou, had met his benefactor in prison. From then on, he would be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
"You will die like this!" Wan Lanxin looked at Yang Wu and Shou Hou with a displeased expression. There was still about two hours before the Barbarian Suppression Legion arrived.
After two days of recuperation, Wan Lanxin's injuries were much better.
Yang Wu looked at Wan Lanxin with a serious expression, and said, "I was wronged and imprisoned, but I haven't been killed yet. I've already profited. In the Death Legion, I was lucky enough to carve out a path to become a king. Then, my grievances and the grievances of my Yang Family will be resolved. Do you understand, Sister?"
"You want to walk the path of the Death Battle King?" Wan Lanxin asked in surprise.
"That's right. If I don't become a king, I'll become a ghost!" Yang Wu clenched his fists.
"If you don't become a king, you'll become a ghost. Count me, Xu Xiaoqiang, in. I'll also join the Death Legion!" Xu Xiaoqiang, who had been smiling mischievously all this while, exclaimed softly from the side.
"Be a good soldier. Don't learn from my big brother!" Shou Hou looked at Xu Xiaoqiang and said in a bad mood.
"Shou Hou, don't look down on people. In the future, I'll make you wholeheartedly call me big brother!" Xu Xiaoqiang replied confidently.
"This isn't child's play!" Wan Lanxin glared at Xu Xiaoqiang and said.
"Young Miss, I'm serious. Instead of following you into the army, it's better to let me fight. The Death Legion definitely lacks a man like me who has the destiny of a cockroach. I'll definitely carve out a path to become a king!" Xu Xiaoqiang said with longing.
"If you really want to die, I won't stop you!" Wan Lanxin said in a fit of pique.
Xu Xiaoqiang scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "I … I also want to protect you in the future, Young Miss."
Yang Wu didn't want to be entangled in this matter. He pointed at the Wolf King under Wan Lanxin and said, "Alright, there's still two more hours before we reach the Barbarian Suppression Army's base. This big guy should go back. Otherwise, it'll arouse suspicion!"
Wan Lanxin licked her lips and said, "The Wolf King is my mount. It's a lifetime of profit."
After saying that, she got down from the Wolf King.
The Wolf King ignored Wan Lanxin completely. Instead, it cast its gaze on Little Hei, who was in the Little Man's arms, and barked, "Awoo!"
Little Hei replied with a hint of pride, "Woof, woof."
These two spirit demons seemed similar, but their barks were completely different. It was unknown what they were communicating about, which was very strange.
After Lang Jie lowered its proud head, it turned around and quickly ran towards the mountain range. Its speed was as fast as an arrow, and it disappeared in a few blinks of an eye.
"Good boy, if I can have a king grade mount in this lifetime, I'm willing to lose ten years of my life." Xu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but wipe his saliva as he watched the Wolf King disappear.
"With your poor looks, don't even think about it in this lifetime," the skinny monkey said.
"Bird's Nest Head, do you want to die?" Xu Xiaoqiang glared at the skinny monkey and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"I'm just speaking the truth. If you don't like it, we can fight!" the skinny monkey replied.
These two were born to be at odds with each other. If it wasn't for Wan Lanxin's words to stop them, they would have really fought.
After the Wolf King left, the group walked towards the Barbarian Suppression Army's base. When they were about five kilometers away, a sentry stopped them.
"Who are you? How dare you approach the military base?" Dozens of riders rushed out from the forest. The leader was sitting on a handsome horse. He held a steel spear in his hand and pointed it at Yang Wu and Wan Lanxin's group.
This group of people was full of killing intent. It was obvious that their hands were stained with the blood of the dead. They weren't ordinary people.
Wan Lanxin stepped forward and showed her token, "I'm Wolf Smoke Mountain Prison's District Warden, Wan Lanxin. I've brought two prison slaves to join the Death Army. Please let us pass."
The leading cavalryman looked at Wan Lanxin's badge and said politely, "Oh, you're the daughter of Prison Warden Wan. Thank you for bringing the two prison slaves here. It's their honor. Please go ahead."
The Barbarian Suppression Army was only two or three days away from the Wolf Smoke Mountain Prison. They could be considered close neighbors. There was a lot of communication between the two, especially for a military beauty like Wan Lanxin. Naturally, news of her had spread to the Barbarian Suppression Army. Many major generals and commanders coveted this military beauty. There was also a lunatic who said that he would take the heads of a thousand barbarians for Wan Lanxin and bring them to the prison to propose marriage. There were also people who said that they would wait until they had the same status as Wan Lanxin before getting intimate with her.
Wan Lanxin nodded and led the group towards the Barbarian Suppression Army's base.
After they walked for a few dozen meters, the soldiers' comments about Wan Lanxin came from behind them.
"As expected of the Wolf Smoke Mountain Prison's flower. Look at that figure swaying like a flower. She's so sexy and enchanting."
"Of course, how can a woman who can be mentioned in the same breath as the Flower of Death in our camp be ordinary? Coming to the camp in person this time will definitely make the major generals fight until their heads bleed."
"Lower your voice. It won't be good if she hears. It's a pity that I don't have the ability. Otherwise, I could take her as my wife and hold her in my arms every night. How comfortable would that be?"
"Enough, all of you shut up. The Mountain Prison's Lord has an extraordinary status. He's not someone we can look down on."
… …
Wan Lanxin, who hadn't gone far, didn't look too good. The others didn't look too good either. The other party was too arrogant.
If it was someone else, Yang Wu could tolerate it. However, these soldiers were talking about Wan Lanxin. He couldn't tolerate it.
Just as he was about to turn around and argue with these guys, Wan Lanxin grabbed his hand and shook her head, indicating that he shouldn't be impulsive.
"Sister, I can't tolerate this!" Yang Wu replied.
"Small heartless people cause great chaos. It won't be too late to let you vent your anger after you regain your status as a viscount and even become a champion. I won't lose anything if they say a few words now, but once you make a move, you'll be completely done for!" Wan Lanxin said seriously.
Yang Wu took a deep breath and then nodded. "I will become a War King!"
"Me too!" Xu Xiaoqiang chimed in from the side.
"I should have a chance as well," the skinny monkey said with some lack of confidence.
There were countless temporary tents scattered among the hills where the Barbarian Suppression Army was stationed. Numerous well-trained squads patrolled the area. There were even spirit eagles acting as sentries and ferocious tigers lying down. It was a very solemn place.
Wan Lanxin and Yang Wu's group went through two more rounds of interrogation before they were brought to a tent to meet with an officer.
The officer was a little old man in his fifties. He wasn't wearing his military uniform and was only wearing casual clothes. He had one leg on a chair and was picking his nose with one hand, looking very sloppy. When he saw Wan Lanxin and Yang Wu's group, he said impatiently, "What are you doing here? Hurry up and hand over the official documents. This daddy's time is limited."
Xu Xiaoqiang quickly took out the official documents from the ambush and handed them to the little old man. "We're from the Wolf Smoke Mountain Prison. Let the two of them join the Death Legion to kill barbarians and earn merit points for atonement."
The little old man only glanced at Yang Wu and the skinny monkey before muttering, "Good youths committing crimes. They deserve to die."
Therefore, the little old man accepted the official documents and threw out the two wooden tokens. "Take the tokens and go out. Someone will lead you to the Death Legion."
Yang Wu and the skinny monkey each took a wooden token with the numbers "99,999" and "10,000" carved on it respectively.
The skinny monkey looked at his "10,000" token and said with a smile, "Big Bro, our numbers are really auspicious. It looks like we'll be able to walk out alive after joining the Death Legion."
Before Yang Wu could say anything, the little old man sneered and said, "None of the prison slaves who were sent here from the prison over the past few years managed to walk out of the battlefield alive. If you guys can come back alive, this old man will be able to retire and return to his hometown."
When the skinny monkey heard this, his face fell.
Yang Wu said optimistically, "Then this lord can just wait to retire and return to his hometown."
With that, they walked out of the tent.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoqiang said, "Sir, give me a token too. I also want to join the Death Legion to kill barbarians."
After saying that, he took out his prison guard token and prepared to exchange it for a wooden token.
The little old man looked at Xu Xiaoqiang in surprise. Then he raised his brows and said, "Little fellow, do your parents know that you're so unafraid of death?"
"My parents died a long time ago," Xu Xiaoqiang said with a silly smile.
"So you're also in a hurry to meet your parents?" The little old man's mouth was really mean.
"How can that be? I just want to become a King!"
"Mmm, I think you have a chance to become a Ghost King."
