"Miss Lingsha, let's not discuss this matter."
"...We believe that she and you are both righteous people who practice the Way and are not deceived by it...I didn't have the time to tell you these words yesterday, which made you more cautious, but please believe me, I invited her to Luofu without any intention of offending her."
But when she saw Kong's stern expression, she knew that the matter was settled.
"I reserve my opinion on whether it will offend or not, but there will definitely be trouble - to reassure you, I can make some expressions for the Marshal and other generals, but she is a pure doctor with lofty aspirations, and she should not bear responsibilities and risks that do not belong to her. Considering the prospect of Rofu's frequent battles now, only those who are condemned by God would persuade her to board the ship."
"…Is she your woman?"
The beautiful girl San, who had left Kongba with the impression of "having flower arms like a young man", thought that her looks were not inferior to Fu Erxuan, and should not be harshly criticized by the doctor - but his reaction was much harsher than that to several of his colleagues before.
Lingsha felt somewhat sad - he had just taken on the blame for Si Ding's crime and was just thinking about fulfilling his responsibilities first, but the doctor took the lead in labelling him as a hidden follower of the Medicine King's secret teachings?
As expected... Dan Ding Si is really not worthy of being treated as a Chi Ming. If he advises people to make elixirs, God will strike him with five thunders.
"No, but I hope she can concentrate on finishing her research first."
"Dandingsi can provide all the research sites and materials needed to help her improve her immunity to wind and snow—"
"No need."
Sora was quite resolute this time:
"Even if I were to go and make the connection, it would be too abrupt. Nata has the welfare and laboratory that the academy has provided her with, so Si Ding doesn't need to worry about it."
"…Just tell him the truth. Even if you are rejected, you won't face the worst outcome."
Seeing that Lingsha was frightened by Kong's unkind attitude, Fu Xuan hurriedly gave him a few words of advice.
"Taibaku?"
"listen to me."
"...Doctor, you are not the 'Envoy of Plenty' that we know and record. You have the power of an Envoy but not the substance of an Envoy. Dandingsi wants to invite Miss Natasha because she does not have some special abilities that you brought from the outside world. She can directly point to the essence of abundance and is very likely to be interested in our invitation. I discussed this with the other Five Emperors, hoping to derive a prescription to solve those flesh and blood disasters by studying her... maybe we can..."
She said in an elegant voice: "Make some preparations for hunting down the ancestor of trouble."
"...Let's put it aside for now. The war is about to start. If I put too much on my mind, I might disappoint everyone...㈧㈤］↑㈦″㈥」△㈥|『㈢㈣㈣㈡和“韓·：”
While threatening the other party, Kong looked at Lingsha's pretty face. He always felt that she looked quite like an "old friend" who had made him feel embarrassed. Obviously, the other party told the truth and he shouldn't continue to be angry, but he didn't know why he was still inexplicably angry.
"……Yes."
But her aggrieved look seemed to have caused the two images to be misaligned again. Sora had no choice but to put on a Sima face and stop paying attention to her, so as to clear the afterimage in his mind -
454. Xiaotou is not that transparent!
Perhaps the tasks pushed to Si Ding by the other five imperial guards were put on hold, so the general Jing Yuan urgently promoted saw the opportunity when Kong was looking at him with a nasty look on his face, and knocked on the counterweight of his gun, showing full respect for the commander:
"I am the Captain of the Cloud Cavalry, Yu Lin. I was supposed to have 3,000 cavalrymen, but I actually have 3,000 cavalrymen. I have 50 gold soldiers, and you can use them at your will, Doctor Kong."
"Oh, you're here? Tell the brothers not to feel any psychological burden when following my orders. Since the general will lead the charge and remove the highest risk, I will try my best to help the brothers fight with zero casualties."
Kong raised an eyebrow - he was just about to throw away the spiritual sand and go talk to the general himself, but this guy made up for the lack of spiritual sand, making Kong feel that the top management of Luofu had already made arrangements, and it was just an attempt to see if they could get his introduction. Even if it didn't work, it would not have any impact on the subsequent arrangements.
Lingsha would take the blame, so that after making him angry, Fu Xuan, who had already established a relationship with him, would not be at risk of alienation, and the blame would not be escalated to the general - this was definitely a plan that Liuyu and General Luofu had discussed together.
Although he is smart, he is still a man who can easily hurt others' feelings. This made Kong Yin San Yin aware of Jing Yuan's anxiety buried under Liu Motionless Mountain. It seems that the two colleagues who came to help... are not just here to help him.
He urgently needed another Envoy of the Order of Plenty to cooperate with the Danding Division's research in order to give a reliable "answer" to appease the top leaders of the alliance.
Thinking that Jing Yuan was facing extremely high political risks and therefore allowed Liu Yu to make such a stupid move, Kong felt relieved. He first gently told the fox man not to be so restrained, and then turned to Jing Yuan and signaled with his eyes that he should not be anxious. Even if Nata did not cooperate with Dan Dingsi's "merits" and "replies", he would find some other ways to prevent him from being blamed by his colleagues.
Sure enough, after being glanced at from afar, Jing Yuanjian nodded to him with a softened expression, so he nodded in return and turned to the military formation, with a few golden flames burning in his calm eyes.
"Zero, zero casualties..."
Yu Lin naturally couldn't understand the look in the eyes when Sora exchanged opinions with the general. His attention was completely focused on the promise that could no longer be described as arrogance - but rather as a fantasy:
"Doctor, even if there are some casualties, the brothers will understand. You don't have to..."
"The premise is that you must strictly follow my orders. Any error may increase casualties. I tend to issue extremely detailed orders, accurate to the individual. There is no doubt that this is something only a genius can do. Since the general has entrusted your lives to me, he has trusted my brain - I will definitely do my best to ensure that your blood, sweat and trust are rewarded."
"Understood. Please give us your orders. We will do our best to protect you."
"Momentum is great, but what I want is precision - so I emphasize again, don't rush in, this is related to whether you can return home intact."
Just a few words made the fox general feel extra close to him. Wu pretended to ask casually:
"Your last name is Yu... I seem to have met many foxes with the same last name in Luofu. Is this a big family?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I have a second brother who runs a clothing store on Azure Star... I'm sure you have some impression of him."
Well, no wonder Jingyuan assigned you to my side.
"...Oh, you belong to Yuyun... Then I have to let you go back alive."
"Ahem, Doctor, there are no blood relatives in the army..."
[I don't have any special relationship with your brother, don't worry. ]
Yu Lin was startled. It seemed that the words just now were what the doctor said in his mind -
[I will establish an independent frequency band for each soldier who accesses it to understand the battlefield situation and receive the orders conveyed in your mind. You will serve as nodes to spread the information I publish and organize.]
During the Battle of Kara, Kong learned a trick from the Protoss - the psychic quality of the Immortal Boat people was considered high even without relying on potions. They could accurately transmit messages to individuals within a certain range, and their precision in dispatching would infinitely magnify the advantages of his system's small map.
It was just like playing an RTS game, except that he planned to treat Yu Yun and other Qianfu as "node creatures" to transfer some of the commands, making them feel that they were still useful.
All I can say is that in order to take care of the soldiers' mood and fighting spirit, and to prevent them from being frightened by the methods of the aliens, Kong put in a lot of effort.
According to records from the time of the locust plague... this is very similar to the command system of the swarm.
[Yes, Doctor... No, I should call you Master Xiaowei. ]
Jing Yuan had already concentrated the military power once, but after the purge, he delegated the military power to his uncle, an outsider, in order to allow Kong to obtain some political resources while also being able to help his brothers at the critical moment.
After hearing the position offered to him by the God's Strategy Palace, Kong did not refuse. The current Xianzhou was not like the group of princes in Europe, so there was no possibility that the general would deliberately give him a "claim" lower than his and then step on him.
Unfortunately, he could only use his troops in Luofu's "homeland"... He planned to let Beicheng come over to learn from him, but Jingyuan also planned to let these 3,000 people "learn from him" - it's the same for everyone.
[If you have any questions about our military equipment and personnel configuration, you can...]
[Don't argue with me, Brother Yulin. If I don't understand Luofu's military configuration, would I dare to command you? ]
[I’m so sorry——! ]
[Return to the team, we are about to march. 】
After sending the fox people away, Kong nodded his head and confirmed the total number of three "node creatures", assigned each of them a transit zone, and ordered them to perform a few simple formations to ensure that they could fully exert their combat effectiveness afterwards - only then did he realize that Cocolia and Paimon were watching the martial arts performance before the attack intently.
"Wow, what a powerful formation, even more powerful than the Thousand Rocks Army..." Paimon was almost stunned by the boundless army in front of him.
"This is the army of a country that is always at war. The days when the Qianyan Army was mainly engaged in warfare have long passed. Zhongli has no intention of launching a war against other countries either. There is no comparison."
Kong laughed. Although the little guy thought he had a broad vision, he had never seen the truly boundless military presence in the starry sea. This was just the beginning.
"Cocolia, don't look at us here, look at the few groups of people that Jing Yuan is practicing." The group of people I command has no reference value. "
"But I think the ones you command are the elite—"
"They were elite troops to begin with. Jing Yuan didn't cheat me. But it was precisely because I was in charge that they looked more like elite troops."
"…Although it's true, I still feel like you're a little…"
"There's no need to be humble at this point. I have to convince them of me."
The complaint that Cocolia was about to make was swallowed back by the unexpectedly "domineering" look in Kong's eyes.
"If you don't trust my command enough, it will be bad if something goes wrong. If Jing Yuan just wanted me to raid the battlefield, I think my showing this skill will make him assign me some more dangerous tasks--"
Upon hearing this, Kokolia turned silently to the Cloud Cavalry formation commanded by Jing Yuan... She felt that Jing Yuan had made the right decision, but it seemed that it was not completely right - if all the troops were given to Kong to command, and he pretended to be sick and heal his injuries, perhaps the results would be better.
But forget it, unless he intends to recommend Kong Ye to become the general of the alliance.
Putting aside the degree of orderliness, for Beicheng, which has less than 20,000 available troops, the scale of Luofu's army is indeed quite shocking. Even though nearly 60% of the personnel have to stand guard on other platforms to ensure that the bandits do not run around everywhere, there are still five flags of the ten thousand households level on the field. From this, we can get a glimpse of how powerful the troops dispatched by the fairy boat during the spring hunt can be.
"Boom——"
During the military exercise, the general should give some inspiring speeches to stabilize the morale of the troops.
But Jing Yuan was shocked when he saw the soldiers under Kong's command. Although they had some doubts and fears in their eyes due to the intervention of the psychic frequency band, they were able to respond to the order to change the formation more quickly, with almost no delay between the large shield taking over and replacing.
The brilliance in his eyes was no less than that in Cocolia - I heard before that in order to let the locals handle local affairs, the doctor voluntarily "resigned himself" to being behind the scenes... and this time he was cordially invited to the stage, he should be able to display his true strategic level that is feared by many forces.
"Everyone... follow me and charge!"
Paimon was ready to be brainwashed by a long speech, but he heard a too clear and crisp shout -
"Your Majesty!!"
"Hey, hey, is that all?"
"Because there is no need for pre-war mobilization. This is their hometown—"
Is there anything more likely to arouse soldiers' murderous intent than seeing their homeland invaded and their homeland changed?
Kong felt most comfortable with Jing Yuan's straightforwardness on the battlefield... It was understandable that he had concerns about playing some tricks in private, but as long as he was more decisive in fighting, he would be able to secure his position as general in the alliance.
"boom--"
After the soldiers responded to Jing Yuan's call, they all took the pills that the Dan Ding Division had urgently distributed over the past few days, making the scene look even more terrifying. It was as heroic as if a large army had drunk a farewell wine together.
"...Such a strong military presence - he really cleaned up the mess to people's satisfaction."
After looking at the passionate army, Jing Liu's pink eyes became calm, with only a slight fluctuation in his tone:
"Me too - I've been holding the ice sword for so many years...but my blood is still cold."
"If your blood runs cold, won't someone die?"
Sora rolled his eyes at Jingliu's awkward admiration and said, "Anyway, don't just rush in and chop and slash."
"Oh, don't laugh at me, Doctor. The two moves you made just now have made him realize that he is not as good as you in command and combat. Now he is on your mind."
"Don't."
Kong, who had ridiculed Jingliu, did not need to explain his next plan to his "subordinates". They were not allowed to ask why they did this - do not doubt that doing so would allow you to kill enemies better and survive. This was Kong's warning and order to the Cloud Riders. Amid the army's shouting of war, only his group of soldiers advanced in silence, seeming a little out of tune with the Cloud Riders under other flags.
On weekdays, they were no different from other comrades in arms. The only difference now was that all their doubts were quickly resolved by the frequency band restrictions.
"...He said he wanted us to be his advisors, but this is just an opportunity for him to perform."
"The commander asked us to give assistance and advice. Just do as he says. This is a battle, Ms. Kokolia."
Cocolia was still afraid that some of her judgments would mislead Kong, but Zhenhai was already in place. It was obvious that the number of times she had worked with Kong was enough for her to quickly get into the role.
"Aerial reconnaissance is in place."
