Chapter 193: One Hundred and Ninety-Three Yan Ge
In Minglu Pass, Xiaoqi’s method of choosing soldiers is extremely simple and crude.
There are ten battle stages in the martial arts arena, and humanoid puppets are placed on them. Unlike the ones that Zhao Shun obtained from Qiu Yijun, which are only as long as forearms, these puppets are about one and a half feet tall, and are stronger than the bodies of adult men. Some, all black and shiny.
The soldiers and guards will step onto the battlefield one by one to fight with the puppets. The knights in the stands will measure them according to their heart's requirements, and the suitable ones will join the formation.
Watching a battle, the most noticeable thing is each person’s moves, combat prowess, character, character and other qualities are actually hidden in their behavior. If the knights have requirements in these aspects , it depends on your own eyesight, whether you can discern the inside from the outside.
"Ah, little kitten, you're here too!"
A long-eared elf in the stands leaned half of his body out of the railing and said hello to the tall woman walking below.
But the woman just looked at her and said coldly: "Don't call me that, or I'll skin you."
The long-tailed spirit leaned back slightly and made a frightened gesture. With such a look, he put his hands on the railing and jumped down from the stands, reaching the side of Xiaomao'er: "I won't joke with you, Yan Ge."
He tilted his head and his expression turned solemn: "You are from our team after all. Although new people have joined now, our former comrades still care about you to some extent and regard you as family."
After foreshadowing these few words, he glanced at Yan Ge's side again and frowned to persuade: "Xiao Qi persuaded you to leave that day out of kindness. Now you also know the situation outside the customs. Even Xiao Qi himself can't guarantee that he can do it. Come back with your tail and tail intact, why are you so stubborn and insisting on joining the team again?"
The breeze blew gently, and Yan Ge's right sleeve moved with the wind. He was actually disabled, with his right arm broken to the ground. Shoulders!
Seeing that she was unmoved, the long-eared elf tried to persuade her again, but she just listened without saying a word.
After doing this several times, the long-eared elf suddenly felt annoyed and said angrily in a low voice: "Don't blame your friends for not trying to persuade you. Those two knights are both good soldiers in the army, and I don't know how angry they are. Gao, it’s hard to say whether they like you or not!”
“How do you know they don’t like you?” Yan Ge bumped his shoulder and pushed him away, “Just watch.”< br>
The long-eared elf didn't mean to make her angry. He was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake when he saw her striding away. He felt regretful but did not feel that what he said was wrong, so he secretly gritted his teeth and turned back to the stand.
Whether what he said was wrong, Yan Ge knew better than anyone else.
Not only is there nothing wrong with it, it is even very reasonable.
There are four reasons for soldiers to leave the Cavalry Team. The most common is death. The least common is quarrels with comrades and being voted out of the team by half the vote. The other two are old age. Resign, please leave with the disability.
Yan Ge is the last category.
About two years ago, during a trip out of seclusion, demon venom splashed on her arm. Although she made a decisive decision and abandoned her arm to save her life, her combat power was greatly reduced due to the loss of her arm, and she was persuaded to leave by the knights leading her team.
Qingwu Camp takes care of the disabled and elderly soldiers. Those like Yan Ge can receive a generous pension and be resettled in Minglu Six Towns, with stable stability. Live the rest of your life.
But she refused to leave this place, preferring to do some chores at the pass rather than go to the six towns.
The soldiers of Qingwu Camp would not know what she was thinking about. It was simply that she wanted to join a small team and return to the battlefield outside the pass to fight against the evil spirits.
In the past two years, there have been changes in the team of Valor Knights, but Yan Ge has never been selected. Every time he came, he always left without being selected.
Regardless of the clan, the impact of missing limbs is huge. Not only is the strength reduced, but also subsequent practice is hindered by the missing meridians, acupuncture points, and flesh and blood.
But if she wants to recover her limbs, Yan Ge becomes even more desperate. The rumored elixirs that can restore bones and regenerate flesh are all controlled by strong people or large sects, which she can't even access. If you do it, how can you talk about giving medicine? If it fails this time, do you want to try again?
Yan Ge asked this, but Mo Ran couldn't give himself a clear answer.
“Let’s take a look first!”
She said this and listened to herself.
......
"Shen and Kui are good, you can write it down."
Zhao Shun tilted his head slightly, his eyes not leaving the platform No. 4, fighting the puppet's short body with his body. A strong man, tell the officer in charge of keeping records this painting.
The soldiers nodded repeatedly and wrote the names of Shen and Kui in the book of magical instruments, feeling slightly surprised in their hearts.
Not only him, but Tao Feng, who was standing beside Zhao Chun, was also surprised. He turned sideways and looked at her brightly. Seeing the serious look on her face, he turned back and pursed his lips.
Zhao Chun didn’t show it on his face, but he knew in his heart why they were like this. The spiritual energy of Shen and Kui gathered flesh and blood on the outside, but did not enter. He was obviously a mortal Taoist monk who had not yet reached the realm of human concentration. .
Although there are very few spiritual root monks, most of the soldiers and guards in the army are mortal monks, and the number of mortal monks under the command of Xiaoqi has never been lower than 80%, the situation is different this time. In the ten battle stages, there are still There is a very good Qi Practitioner, Perfection Zai, who is much better than Shen Yukui in terms of strength and talent.
When this Qi practitioner came on stage successfully, Tao Feng felt nervous, feeling that Zhao Chun would have to compete with him.
He also knew that Zhao Chun's cultivation was much stronger than his own. If there was a real fight for him, according to the rules of force in the army, he would definitely lose, so he kept looking gloomy.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shun just glanced at the No. 3 battle platform where he was, and turned his attention to Shen and Kui on the side. He then named Shen and Kui. He had no intention of competing with Tao Feng for the perfect Qi training. mean.
Although his doubts remained unanswered, Tao Feng actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He was naturally puzzled. Zhao Chun blinked. For herself, the combat prowess of her soldiers and guards was not the primary consideration. She practiced the offensive and killing tactics of sword cultivators. , there is no need for the soldiers to charge and fight for her, it is more necessary for them to form three types of soldier formations to assist her, to increase her own strength, and she can dominate the battle by herself.
How much the military guards can benefit her depends on the tacit cooperation of the soldiers. Therefore, character and combat sense are her primary criteria for selecting soldiers under her command.
She also paid attention to the person Tao Feng hastily decided on who was perfect in qi training. He had a solid foundation, skilled skills, and his strength was considered to be the best among the many soldiers in the martial arts field.
However, when fighting the puppet, he only used magic to continuously bombard him, and did not use the puppet's attack, defense, avoidance, and retreat movements to change the way he attacked the enemy. Although he had strength, he did not know how to adapt and fuse, which showed that he was not agile enough.
This is what Shen Yukui likes. Every time the puppet changes its moves, he also changes his offensive, or switches from offense to defense, or uses force to fight. The puppet is like an ape in his hands. It's like being played with, always one step behind.
Zhao Shun carefully weighed the other eight people and finally shook her head, which meant that only Shen and Kui were selected this time. The soldiers beside her hung red flags on the stands to indicate that she had done so. Good choice.
At the same time, Tao Feng also wrote down the name of another soldier and asked the soldiers who recorded it to hang the flag.
"To ride Tao Feng bravely, choose Yan Yongjie and Ma Qiuqi!"
"The brave knight Zhao Chun chooses Shen and Kui!"
