Training Troops Along the Way
Hua Qiang and Ye Bingxue stayed at the Mountain Bandits stronghold for two days.
In the past two days, Hua Qiang generously took out some martial arts books from his Storage Ring and gave them to them to study.
Since we've assigned them as bodyguards, we naturally need to improve their combat effectiveness.
Although this Mountain Bandits was strong and brave, they had not received formal training and their combat capabilities were limited.
These books were precious spoils of war he obtained by murdering and looting corpses. He had already given some to his younger sister and father; the rest were trash to him.
Now it's finally time to put them to the test.
Hua Qiang then generously handed over 100 million yuan in cash to Ye Bingxue.
After all, having taken these Mountain Bandits as followers, one naturally has to support them.
The wealth on Hua Qiang's person is astonishing; he has a mountain of cash, roughly estimated to be close to one billion yuan.
Ye Bingxue knew that Hua Qiang was extremely wealthy, so when Hua Qiang gave her money, she accepted it all without hesitation without the slightest refusal.
In her heart, Hua Qiang is her.
As the Finance Minister of Hua Qiang Group, how could I not take this money?
However, she is currently too weak to carry much cash, otherwise, given her personality, she would definitely confiscate all of Hua Qiang's money.
Heavenly Empress, the Mountain Bandits carefully packed all the items in the bag and carried them with them.
Looking at the base they once occupied, their eyes held both reluctance and anticipation for the future.
Then, they resolutely set the base ablaze, the raging flames soaring into the sky, as if bidding farewell to their past life.
A train convoy slowly set off, greeted by the warm sunshine.
The roar of engines, like war drums signaling an impending battle, shattered the tranquility of the early morning.
At first, the convoy moved at a leisurely pace, like pedestrians taking a leisurely stroll.
As time went by, the roar of the engines gradually increased, and the convoy sped up like an arrow, rushing towards the Yunzhou Base at breakneck speed.
Hua Qiang knew the importance of training his troops. Whenever they passed a place where Mutant Beasts roamed, he decisively ordered Ye Bingxue to lead a group of Man Niu people to engage in fierce battles with the Mutant Beasts.
Ye Bingxue's white dress fluttered in the wind as she waved her small hand, leading the group to charge towards the horde of Mutant Beasts with roars.
In the valley, a group of ferocious Mutant Beasts bared their fangs and roared deafeningly.
Ye Bingxue was not afraid at all. She quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding air instantly became cold and biting.
In an instant, a gigantic Ice Soul Cold Dragon materialized behind her.
The Ice Soul Cold Dragon is incredibly lifelike, its Dragon Scales shimmering with a cold, ethereal light, and its eyes revealing boundless majesty.
Ye Bingxue gave a soft shout, Ice Soul Cold Dragon roared out, charging towards the horde of Mutant Beasts with World-destroying momentum.
Sensing a powerful threat, the Mutant Beasts roared and charged towards the Ice Soul Cold Dragon.
However, how could they possibly withstand the power of the Ice Soul Cold Dragon?
With a swipe of its claws, the dragon sent several Mutant Beasts flying, crashing heavily to the ground. With a flick of its tail, another group of Mutant Beasts were sent flying, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
Ye Bingxue controlled the Ice Soul Cold Dragon as if it were an empty field, crushing the Mutant Beasts in a brutal attack.
Wherever the Ice Soul Cold Dragon went, everything was covered in ice, and the Mutant Beasts shivered from the cold, their movements becoming sluggish.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Bingxue launched an even fiercer attack, with ice blades flying from her hands and accurately hitting the Mutant Beasts's vital points.
Man Niu and the others also fought bravely on the sidelines. They cooperated well with Ye Bingxue and killed the Mutant Beasts, leaving behind a pile of corpses as they fled in a sorry state.
Along the way, the group not only collected a huge number of Mutant Beasts corpses, which could be exchanged for a large sum of money, but each of them also made breakthroughs in the battles.
Ye Bingxue, relying on her powerful strength and combat experience, as well as the strategic resources Hua Qiang gave her, successfully reached the Peak Grand Martial Master Realm.
He was only one step away from the Martial Ancestor Realm, and his ability to protect himself had greatly improved, which reassured Hua Qiang considerably.
After all, Ye Bingxue has activated an S-level talent, which allows her to fight beyond her level, and most Martial Ancestor are no match for her.
Her talent gave her a huge advantage in battle, with both her attack and defense capabilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.
After more than ten days of arduous travel, the group finally arrived at the north gate of the Yunzhou Base.
They gazed at the towering city gate, their hearts filled with emotion.
The battles they fought along the way made them stronger and filled them with confidence for the future.
Zhan Simo, squad leader of the North Gate Guard Team of the South Sea Base City Defense Team.
He played mahjong all night last night and lost hundreds of thousands of yuan. It hurt him so much that it felt like a handful of kotatsu were tearing at his flesh.
On that day, he was on duty, leading a few men, standing listlessly on the city gate tower, his mind constantly pondering where he could make up for this huge deficit.
Just then, a train convoy slowly approached the city gate.
Zhan Simo's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, and he was secretly delighted.
Isn't this a case of a fat sheep being delivered to our doorstep?
No ripping people off, no ripping them off. This time, I not only want to earn back the hundreds of thousands I lost, but I also want to extort another sum to make my pockets bulge again.
Before long, the caravan arrived at the city gate.
Zhan Simo and his men stormed down the city wall, blocking Hua Qiang and his group's path.
He crossed his arms, his face full of arrogance, and shouted, "Stop! This road is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!"
Man Niu and the others exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions turning strange.
These lines sound so familiar!
They used to sing it every day, but now they've become the ones being sung about.
The Man Niu glared at Zhan Simo and charged forward, looking down at him, saying, "You bastard, are you a bandit trying to rob me on the road?"
"You want to stop us from entering the city?"
Zhan Simo was so intimidated by the Man Niu's imposing presence that he involuntarily took several steps back, especially the towering height of the bull, which created a great sense of oppression for him.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Damn it, did he kick a hornet's nest?
But he quickly came to his senses and realized that he had nothing to be afraid of. He was a regular soldier, a guard squad leader in the city defense team.
If he's afraid of even these outsiders in his own little corner of the world, what kind of life can he possibly have?
He immediately straightened his neck, raised his head, and said, "Entry fee!"
One of them stepped forward Wen Dao, "How much?"
Zhan Simo was secretly pleased, thinking that these people had backed down.
After all, he represents the government, and as the saying goes, the people can't fight against the officials, and even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
"Twenty thousand!"
"What the hell? Why didn't you rob me?" The henchmen behind the Man Niu cursed angrily.
They had been bandits for so many years, always robbing others, but they never expected to be robbed themselves, especially in broad daylight, in a blatant act of robbery.
Zhan Simo thought to himself smugly, "I'm fucking robbing them!"
One of Man Niu's henchmen angrily Wen Dao, "Why does it cost so much money?"
Zhan Simo glared and Heavenly Path with his nostrils flared, "Enough nonsense! Your caravan is so big, you must pay a hefty entrance fee to enter the city, otherwise don't even think about getting in!"
Hua Qiang stood to the side, watching Zhan Simo's clown-like performance with a blank expression.
If you piss him off, slap him to death!
