Chapter 180 Heroes, Commanders and Politicians [Please vote]
Late at night, in the Taoist dormitory.
Wang Jixuan finished his meditation and stood up, stretching slightly. The three-foot flying sword that was spinning around him was shaking like a spiritual snake, and turned into a silver-white sword pill, which escaped into Wang Jixuan's palm.
This sword pill seems to have form but no quality. It floats and sinks in his sea of qi and continues to enjoy the warmth and nourishment of the soul of the sea of qi.
The flying sword is ready.
But Wang Jixuan found that he was not as happy as expected, as if he had accomplished a small thing that he had planned.
It's really a small thing.
Monks pay attention to spells, talismans, formations, techniques, elixirs, and weapons to protect themselves. These are just a small help to the way of weapons.
‘With the flying sword, I can make several sneak attacks when encountering S-level enemies. ’
Taoist Master Wang felt refreshed and at peace. Looking back on this practice, there was a smile on his lips.
In an instant, his spiritual consciousness stretched out to more than seven miles, and then returned to his surroundings in an instant. There was a lot more information in his heart.
Peony was rushing back from downstairs, holding a food box in her hand, which contained a portion of steaming egg noodles.
‘How does she know when I stop practicing? ’
Wang Jixuan was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.
He went to the balcony to look at the late night scenery for a while, and just waited for Peony Duanmian to come back and then ate happily.
‘From now on, Pindao will have to eat less. After the foundation building is completed, he can enjoy this delicious food again. ’
It's a pity that the noodles are filled with industrial poached eggs, which are not lacking in nutrients, but the taste is a little bit worse after all.
When Wang Jixuan had almost finished eating, Mudan stood aside and began to report: "Sir, there is nothing unusual around Fortress 76 for the time being. Professor Shen Qionglin is temporarily living on the surface. She has come to you before and wants to apply to observe and study Chi. Sister Snake, I will push it for you to reply to her tomorrow.
“The Buddhist Temple team has arrived at the border and entered the battlefield, and they have performed very well.
"Besides, Chief Lingtong sent a message a few hours ago. It's convenient for you to call her at any time."
Wang Jixuan took a sip of noodle soup from the bowl: "Then let me ask Sister Wan, has Lingtong had any rest... How is the war situation in various places?"
"On all six fronts, the blade beast's offensive has been repulsed. Let me show you this."
Peony put her hands together and opened them, and the palms of her two palms formed a projection screen, on which a short video of dozens of seconds appeared.
In a hilly terrain, hundreds of earth bags suddenly arched up on the ground. The earth bags were then pushed open by manhole cover-like objects, and silver-gray 'bone frames' crawled out of them.
This is not the rebirth of a skeleton, but...
Mechanical army!
From the secret base hidden here, tens of thousands of autonomous robots without any extra decorations quickly crawled out!
They rushed to the troop carrier parked in front, skillfully piloted the heavy firepower provided by the D5 theater, remained silent, and rushed to the battlefield.
"The Commander-in-Chief has activated a total of 160,000 machines!"
Peony said excitedly:
“The mechanical bodies can take turns to wake up and protect each other. After entering the underground base, as long as there are functions and parts supplied, 95% of the machines can remain ready for combat.
"This should be only a small part of the mechanical body stored in D5!
"They changed the tide of the war! With their accurate judgment and fearlessness of sacrifice, they opened a gap in the blade beast front, and they also successfully used the self-exposed nuclear bomb truck tactic to injure the king-level blade beast over there!
"Uh...Sister Wan gave me a reply.
"She said that Chief Lingtong has been resting for a few hours. She also said that you would wake her up immediately after giving her information. There is something important to communicate. Do you want to wake her up?"
"Shout," Wang Jixuan was a little worried, "I'll check her condition."
"Okay!"
Peony tapped the air with her fingers a few times.
Soon, she brought a stereoscopic projector, placed it in front of Wang Jixuan, and consciously went to stand on the balcony.
The main character is a well-behaved and sensible person.
On the balcony next door, Gao Huating was staring into the night in search of inspiration. She curiously looked at the maid she had met several times before, walked back to her room with her head down, and locked the sliding door of the balcony.
Mudan didn't pay much attention to this ordinary person.
In the room;
Lingtong’s heroic bust turned into a moving image.
She had obviously just woken up. There were several sensors attached to the robotic arm, and she was wearing dark green short-sleeved shirts and simple shorts. Her long black hair was hanging down her back, and there were some indentations from the pillow on her swan neck.
Lingtong gently licked his dry lips with the tip of his tongue, and his whole body actually exuded a cute temperament.
It's rare to see Lingtong at this moment.
She lacked her usual strength and seriousness, and had a rare laziness that didn't want to get up. Her dark eyes swayed slightly, and her tall nose twitched a few times.
"Did I bother you?" Lingtong asked.
"It's not obvious that I'm disturbing you," the Taoist priest replied with a smile.
Lingtong grabbed a tissue and rubbed his eyes. He pressed some kind of refreshing spray twice and quickly regained his energy. Then he lowered his head and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Wang Jixuan wondered, "Didn't you say we won the battle? And the sacrifice was very small."
"It's not because of the war."
Wang Jixuan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
She was actually sighing!
This front-line fighter who never blinks even in the sea of swords and fire is actually worried!
“Don’t scare me,” Wang Jixuan said jokingly, “Wrinkles are almost forming on your forehead.”
Lingtong didn't care about this and just said: "The commander-in-chief talked to me in the evening."
"What to talk about?"
"Hero, commander in chief, politician."
Wang Jixuan was confused: "What do you mean?"
"This is the Commander-in-Chief's succession plan."
Ling Tongyan summed it up succinctly:
“According to my own understanding, the Commander-in-Chief needs to choose at least three successors.
“A hero must portray an image of justice to ordinary people and guide them to believe in the future and hope;
“The commander-in-chief must have the most outstanding military command ability, have sufficient prestige in the army, and have the courage to sacrifice everything for the sake of the overall situation at critical moments;
“Politicians must be diplomatic and adhere to the bottom line of justice to integrate forces and resources from all aspects.
"The commander-in-chief is one person playing these three roles. His intention should be to cultivate three successors in three aspects.
"I became a candidate for the next generation's hero card."
Wang Jixuan thought for a moment and suddenly thought of what Fu Jian had said before...
Lingtong's summary is quite reasonable.
Fu Jian has been looking for an heir for fifty years with no results.
The success of the Devil Commander-in-Chief cannot be replicated. The powerful half-human mecha and ruthless commander use iron will, selfless dedication, and ultimate ability to withstand pressure to protect human civilization and risk everything for the future of mankind.
The environment that mankind will face next is still extremely harsh, and Fu Jian's successor must not weaken Fu Jian too much...
Cultivating three successors in three aspects is quite in line with Fu Jian's character.
but……
Fu Jian will not collapse in the next ten years...
‘Do you want to engrave a soul-fixing ban on Lao Fu? Refining the old master into a magic weapon in advance? However, Lao Fu's willpower is too strong, and the poor Taoist who has just returned to the virtual realm may not be able to suppress it. ’
Wang Jixuan quickly ran through these thoughts in his heart and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. Do you agree?"
"I thought about refusing," Lingtong explained simply, "but I was more afraid that my hesitation would disappoint him. He taught us that half-human mechas must be decisive and believe in their own fighting intuition. I chose to believe in my intuition at that time... Well , I agreed." Wang Jixuan said seriously: "This is great, your charm is very dazzling, and you are very suitable for taking on this responsibility."
Lingtong leaned back in his chair: "Then, the commander-in-chief assigned me three tasks, all related to you."
"Is it related to me?"
"Complete the teaching of the first three changes of the sword formation in the D5 half-human mecha as soon as possible. This is the first thing."
Lingtong looked aside: "Second, I need to go on a lecture tour in various places. I want to focus on showing my own charm. It is best for you to see the videos of these lecture tours... Although I I don't think I have this kind of use besides fighting.
"The third thing should be a joke to the Commander-in-Chief."
"What?"
"We're going to go on a few dates and get deeper into it gradually," Lingtong turned to look at the projection screen and camera, "Just treat it as completing the mission."
Wang Jixuan:......
Good guy, Lao Fu, do it for real!
As expected of the Commander-in-Chief, he is indeed ruthless and does what he says!
The Taoist priest changed the topic without leaving any trace: "Personal and official matters should be separated. You can wait until you have time...and I think you may have misunderstood the commander-in-chief's meaning."
"Why?"
"Heroes, commanders, and politicians may seem to be different, but in fact, they are interconnected."
Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue:
“A hero who is not good at commanding an army, commanding battle formations, and winning over people’s hearts is just a powerful warrior, or a star in the army.
“Such a person is not worthy of becoming the next devil commander-in-chief.
“He should train several successors in three directions. At the beginning, each successor will have its own emphasis and back up each other.
“When the situation calls for it, there must always be one person who stands up and becomes the backbone of everyone, shouldering all the pressure and responsibilities, and being able to decide where the fate of mankind should go with just one thought like he does now.
"So, next time, you can't think from the perspective of a military star, otherwise you will definitely fail in this trial given to you by the Commander-in-Chief."
Lingtong's eyes glowed with passionate fighting spirit.
She nodded seriously: "That's right! This is a trial!"
"I'm just telling you nonsense, just listen to it."
Taoist Wang continued:
"You still have a lot to learn, and there's not much I can do to help you.
"When will you come back?" "I can give you a deep massage now to improve your combat effectiveness a little bit." "
As he enters the realm of returning to the virtual world, he can naturally help Lingtong improve even more.
Lingtong's eyes showed a bit of yearning: "I will wait for about a week. Sister Wan's schedule has begun to be arranged, and the front lines are tight everywhere. I will follow orders and join the battle at any time."
"Hasn't the Blade Beast offensive been repelled?"
"They are just retreating temporarily," Lingtong explained softly. "If the bladed beast is compared to a fist, then this fist has been retracted to accumulate power, and it is expected that Dawn will launch a new offensive."
"Okay," Wang Jixuan sighed with emotion, "Now there are really external and internal troubles. The Psychic City wants to attack us, and the Blade Beasts are also stepping up their offensive."
Lingtong asked: "I read the information. You accidentally brought back a professor. This professor masters cutting-edge psychic infusion technology?"
"Well, she is quite powerful, in a sense," Wang Jixuan expressed sincere emotion.
"This could lead to a true psychic war."
"I also have this consideration. I will be busy in the next few days and try to improve the defense of Fortress 76."
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wang."
Lingtong made a rare joke and reminded:
"I analyzed the new information before going to bed.
"As for the Psychic City, the fifteen-person council has reached an agreement. They intend to force the Six Elders to express their stance, thereby putting full pressure on D5 and even a full-scale war.
"There is a crystal core in the body of the beast god psykers, and I discovered a detail in the battle images sent to me by Mu Dan."
Wang Jixuan asked in confusion: "What details?"
"Owner."
Wang Daochang frowned and said: "Let's be serious, there is no need to pursue this kind of excitement."
Lingtong seemed to be blushing a little and whispered: "This is information..."
"Ahem," Wang Jixuan raised his hand to his forehead.
A certain loyal wingman on the balcony almost laughed.
"These beast god psykers are describing a being and calling that being their master."
Lingtong adjusted his condition and said quickly: "Think about it carefully, if this master is just a king-level blade beast, is he capable of raising these psykers to the S-level level?"
Wang Jixuan touched his chin and thought carefully.
In a sense, S-level psykers are the benchmark for ordinary king-level blade beasts.
——The destructive power of the former is far less than that of the latter, and the king-level blade beast controls a terrifying number of blade beasts of all levels, which is the most troublesome existence.
The Taoist priest asked: "How is the pillar-level blade beast doing now?"
"I checked, and the awakening level of the ninth pillar has increased to 26%. There is no obvious exchange of information with the outside world."
"Then who else could be the master of these beast god psykers?"
Wang Jixuan immediately stood up: "I'm going to interrogate. There are still six crystal nuclei here, and there are some residual souls in them."
"Remember to get more rest," Lingtong warned, "I'll go and get some sleep. The information I've compiled here will be sent to Mudan."
"Okay hero!"
Wang Jixuan hung up the communication.
He casually put on a sports coat, slippers and loose pants, called Peony and went out immediately, heading straight to the surface military camp.
In order to keep it secret, Wang Jixuan put on a mask and a sunhat.
This outfit is even weirder.
…
A few minutes later, outside Fort No. 76.
There is a sand dune more than ten kilometers away from the military camp on the surface of the fortress. The sand has sunk slightly, and the outline of a footprint appears.
Immediately afterwards, footprints appeared on the sand one after another, like an army of ghosts marching.
There was a chattering man's voice, using a method similar to a voice transmission to these transparent figures, and kept saying:
"Everyone, be careful. We can't repair the equipment now. This kind of sneak attack can only happen once. The damage rate of the holographic belt is too high. This kind of technological product is not reliable at all.
"Try to capture this traitor later. The master is very interested in him. If he can't be captured, he will be killed.
"In addition, we must pay attention and look for traces of the awakened spiritual cultivator. The master had previously suspected that humans had the help of the newly awakened spiritual cultivator.
"Quick, everyone get down, crawl close to the ground, and try to avoid the enemy's radar detection."
In the distance, the main camp on the surface of Fortress No. 76.
Wang Jixuan took Mudan out of the elevator, and a group of soldiers came forward to salute.
