Ever since Yang Wu reached the high-level Warrior realm, he felt he could fight on par with a general realm cultivator, so he was rather confident. He had always thought that as long as he was on the battlefield, he could easily kill the barbarians and gain merits. But after this battle, his mind was completely clear. Although he was quite strong, none of the barbarians on the battlefield were mediocre.
Yang Wu had spent a lot of effort to kill the barbarian in front of him. If it weren't for Li Dazui killing the other barbarians by his side, he, Shou Hou, and Xu Xiaoqiang wouldn't have been able to put up much of a fight.
Right now, Yang Wu was seriously injured. Even his recovery strength wasn't enough to heal his injuries.
If he was given half a day, it wouldn't be difficult for him to recover from his injuries. But Li Dazui gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go. If we don't, we'll become meat in their mouths."
Shou Hou and Xu Xiaoqiang heaved a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Li Dazui would continue leading them to kill the enemy.
If Shou Hou and Xu Xiaoqiang were as strong as Yang Wu, Li Dazui wouldn't mind continuing to kill their way in. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that now.
Shou Hou ran over to help Yang Wu up. Yang Wu didn't refuse. After he stood up, he grabbed the barbarian's huge saber. This was a rare weapon.
"It's a pity I'm not good with sabers!" Yang Wu sighed for no reason. Then he looked at Shou Hou and asked, "Do you want it?"
Shou Hou shook his head and said, "I'd prefer to use a staff!"
Yang Wu looked at Xu Xiaoqiang and said, "Take this saber."
Xu Xiaoqiang didn't stand on ceremony. He took the huge saber and said with a smile, "This saber is quite heavy, but I like it. Thanks!"
After Li Dazui put away their weapons, he went on to behead the barbarians. Then he said to Yang Wu, "Kid, take that head back with you. Otherwise, no one will give you credit for it."
Li Dazui loved to eat people, but he was not stupid.
This was what Yang Wu and the other two thought at the same time.
Xu Xiaoqiang nimbly chopped off the barbarian's head and took the initiative to carry it for Yang Wu. At this moment, his stomach was no longer churning.
'Next time, I'll definitely slaughter those barbarians with my own hands!' Xu Xiaoqiang and Shou Hou both had such a strong thought in their hearts.
Big Mouth Li led the way in front with a slight smile on his face. Clearly, he was very satisfied with the meat out this time.
Soon, their group returned to the perimeter of the military camp. Li Dazui spoke again, "I forgot to tell y 'all that you'll have to get your own meat to eat. Our Death Legion doesn't provide any food for you."
At this moment, Yang Wu, Shou Hou, and Xu Xiaoqiang all had the urge to faint. It wasn't easy for them to fight a great battle, but they weren't even provided with anything to eat?
"Are you trying to starve us to death?" Xu Xiaoqiang complained.
"That's right. There's no shortage of hungry soldiers on the battlefield. How are we going to have the strength to fight the barbarians like this?!" Shou Hou also said unhappily.
"Why don't I share some of the meat with y 'all?" Li Dazui replied with a sincere expression.
In an instant, Xu Xiaoqiang and Shou Hou felt terrible.
Yang Wu asked from the side, "Sir, since we're your subordinates, you should tell us about the rules of the Death Legion. Is that alright?"
"The rules of the Death Legion are that there are no rules," Li Dazui replied as he rolled his eyes.
Yang Wu thought for a moment and said, "Does this mean that we'll have to rely on ourselves to survive and perish on our own?"
"Kid, you're pretty quick-witted. That's more or less what I mean!" Li Dazui replied. Then he added, "As long as we don't betray Great Xia and kill more barbarians, we can do whatever we want."
"Then how are we going to record our military merits?" Yang Wu asked again.
"Take it and get the adjutant to record it!" Li Dazui replied.
"Okay, I understand." Yang Wu nodded.
Then, I'll say a few more words. There are some lousy weapons in the pit over there. You can go and pick them yourself. There are also a few combat skills on the stone tablets over there. You can comprehend them yourself. Our Death Legion will be the vanguard during the war. If there's no major battle, we'll go and hunt in the mountain range. Or, we'll kill the enemy's scouts as soon as possible. Of course, we can also go and kill the barbarian army if we don't get any meritorious service in a month. In short, it's a game of life and death! " Either way, we're going to kill them. "After Li Dazui spoke to Yang Wu in a serious manner, he took the head in his hand and went to hand in his task.
At this moment, Yang Wu, Shou Hou, and Xu Xiaoqiang all understood the significance of the Death Legion's existence.
There weren't too many rules in the Death Legion. They could do whatever they wanted without too many restrictions. However, if they didn't have any military merits within a month, they would be punished according to military law. This was the cruelty of being in the Death Legion.
Of course, there were many situations that Li Dazui didn't explain clearly. For example, whoever killed 100 barbarians at the soldier level first would not only be able to get rid of their slave status, but they would also be promoted to squad leader. If they killed 200 barbarians, they would be promoted to squad leader. If they killed 300 barbarians, they would be promoted to squad leader … These military merits could even be used to exchange for elixirs or secret techniques.
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Shou Hou asked Yang Wu.
"What can we do? Let's starve first. I'll think of a way later," Yang Wu replied.
Then, he took the head that Xu Xiaoqiang handed over to him and took it to the tent to record his military merits.
When he arrived at the tent, the cold-faced adjutant was still sitting there. When he saw Yang Wu come in, an imperceptible glint flashed across his eyes.
"Adjutant, I'm here to record my military merits …" Yang Wu said as he held the head. However, before he could finish speaking, the adjutant said sternly, "Who told you that this is the place to record your military merits? Get out of here!"
Yang Wu was instantly dumbfounded.
He had been tricked by Li Dazui.
"Yang Wu will take his leave!" Yang Wu knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly responded and was about to get out of the tent. Before he could take a few steps back, the cold-faced adjutant spoke again, "Since you're already here, just put it down. I'll record your military merits personally."
Yang Wu was instantly stunned. He cursed in his heart, "Are you playing with me?"
"I should be the one to record the general-level head!" The cold-faced adjutant said coldly as he glanced at the head in Yang Wu's hand. He then asked, "Serial number, name?"
Yang Wu quickly said, "Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, Yang Wu!"
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, Yang Wu has received two hundred merits!" The cold-faced adjutant announced.
"Thank you, sir!" Yang Wu responded and left the tent with the head.
After he left, he didn't hear the cold-faced adjutant mutter, "He received two hundred merits on his first day as a prison slave soldier. That was twenty years ago, wasn't it?"
Twenty years ago, the Great Xia Dynasty's King of Death had just risen to power!
After Yang Wu left the tent, he brought Shou Hou and Xu Xiaoqiang to an open space and sat down. He said to Shou Hou and Xu Xiaoqiang, "Which one of you is responsible for investigating the Death Legion? We can't just listen to Li Dazui. That guy is very unreliable. Only by understanding the Death Legion's situation will we have a better chance of survival. "
"Big Brother, let me do this!" Shou Hou immediately said.
Xu Xiaoqiang said from the side, "You can't do it. I'll go. With my silver tongue, I'll definitely be able to get the first-hand information."
Shou Hou was instantly annoyed. However, Yang Wu didn't wait for him to speak and said, "You guys should split up. The Death Legion's people aren't easy to deal with, but I believe there are still some normal people. Let's see how you guys do it. I'll have to heal my wounds and think of a way to get some food."
Shou Hou suppressed his anger and replied, "Big Brother, don't worry. I'll definitely get to the bottom of the situation here."
After saying that, he was the first to leave.
Xu Xiaoqiang didn't say anything and also got up to leave. He didn't know when, but he also took Yang Wu as his leader. He was previously a prison guard.
Yang Wu stroked Little Hei who had been following him and said with a wry smile, "Little Hei, I'll leave the matter of getting food to you. I really don't have much strength right now."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and meditated to recover from his injuries.
The battle just now had consumed a lot of his battle strength and his injuries were extremely serious. Although he had been recovering along the way, it still wasn't enough.
Little Hei shook her tail understandingly and then disappeared into the grass.
At night, a chilly wind blew in the vicinity. It was as if there were ghosts crying out, causing people's hearts to palpitate.
It was unknown how many people had died on this battlefield. Countless heroic spirits and war spirits were no longer present.
Yang Wu's injuries had improved a lot. This was an advantage that no one else could compare to.
Shou Hou and Xu Xiaoqiang had already returned to his side. The two of them saw that Yang Wu was meditating and didn't disturb him. Instead, they each went to recover from their own injuries.
When Yang Wu woke up, Little Hei had returned. Her little mouth had unknowingly spat out a dead wild boar.
Yang Wu exclaimed, "Little Hei, when can you teach me your ability to store things?"
Yang Wu knew that in this world, there was a type of spatial item called "Qiankun Storage". It was a rare spiritual item that could only be found in the mortal world. Only the great guardians of the country, the imperial family, or the top-tier experts possessed such an item. It could store all kinds of things. For Little Hei to be able to store the corpse of a wild boar with its small body, it definitely had the ability to store things.
Little Hei couldn't speak. It could only bark twice and then spit out a small tri-colored flame, roasting the wild boar.
This tri-colored flame was shockingly powerful. This wasn't the first time Yang Wu had seen it. When he had obtained the Dragon Turtle Sea-Turning Technique, it had been this tri-colored flame that had broken the seal of the Sealing Pearl.
"Little Hei, if you used this flame to kill someone, you would be able to burn them to death!" Yang Wu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Little Hei raised its head proudly. It even gave Yang Wu a look that said 'you have good taste'. Yang Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yang Wu called Shou Hou and Xu Xiaoqiang over to eat the meat together.
The two of them took a bite of the cooked wild boar, and their eyes lit up. They quickly tore into the wild boar meat and wolfed it down.
"When you're full, tell me about the army's situation," Yang Wu said as he wiped the lard from the corner of his mouth.
"Big Brother, the situation is not good!" Shou Hou immediately replied.
"I feel like we're about to die. If I had known, I wouldn't have joined this army," Xu Xiaoqiang said dejectedly.
