Chapter 2186 Commanding a Battalion

The Lanshui Garrison is actually just a bamboo building, and there are no guards or anything.

Lu Ye flew here after asking for directions along the way. He had no other reason but to simply say goodbye to Ziying.

This garrison commander had helped him a lot in the past, so now that he was leaving, he had to inform him.

In front of the bamboo building, Ziying was taking care of some flowers and plants. When Lu Ye came over, he was stunned when he saw this scene. This garrison commander looked very heroic, but he didn't expect him to be so elegant.

"Are you preparing to leave?" Ziying didn't even turn his head, obviously understanding Lu Ye's intention.

Lu Ye clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, I want to obtain more Dao bones for my cultivation and advance to the Rong Dao as soon as possible. There won't be any war in Lanshui in the short term, so I want to go to other war zones to take a look."

"You have no official duties, so you can come and go freely."

There are two types of alliance guards. One type has a position, such as the officers beside Ziying and the guards of the Blue Water War Star itself. These are fixed combat forces in Blue Water, and they will receive military merit income every month regardless of wartime or peacetime.

The other type is someone like Lu Ye who has no more time. When he arrives at a war zone, he nominally has to obey the garrison orders of that war zone. Of course, if there are no orders, he can act freely.

Most of the Allied Guards belong to the latter category and can travel between major war zones according to their own wishes.

Ziying stood up and turned to look at Lu Ye: "But if you want to hunt for Dao bones, wait a few days before leaving."

Lu Ye was puzzled: "What your Excellency means is..."

Ziying turned his head and looked into the depths of the starry sky, his expression cold and indifferent: "It is rude not to reciprocate. If they come to fight us, then of course we have to fight back!"

Lu Ye was shocked. Lanshui had been peaceful these days without any disturbance. He had no idea that Ziying had a plan in secret.

If that's the case, then there's really no rush to leave.

It is estimated that the two insect-blood tribes did not expect that such a thing would happen. It can be said that Ziying's choice was very wise, and perhaps he could catch the other party off guard.

Of course, the deployment of the army will definitely not be hidden from the eyes of the Insect Queen, and she will definitely be prepared at that time.

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Ye said, "Sir, if you leave, who will take over the guard of Lanshui?"

Ziying said calmly: "If we don't defend it, when we attack the star, no one in Lanshui will be left alive. Whoever wants it can take it!"

Lu Ye was speechless, impressed by the courage of this woman, but he also knew that if the blue water was really lost, there would be a gap in the human race alliance's defense line in this area, and then the people on this planet would definitely be held accountable.

This is a quick battle! Lu Ye reacted and realized that as long as the speed was fast enough, Ziying should be able to return to defend the blue water in time after the matter was accomplished.

From this perspective, the purpose of this attack is not really to occupy the enemy's Blood Cloud Battle Star.

"Have the Taoist weapons of the Yan family been delivered?" Ziying asked again.

"It's delivered." Lu Ye took out the short hammer and swung it a few times.

"How's the fit? How much of a boost does it bring to you?" Ziying asked.

Although this Taoist weapon is of the best quality that can be refined at present, the power it can exert varies in the hands of different people. It can amplify the power of three Daos at the least, and five Daos at the most.

Of course Lu Ye reported five.

Ziying nodded: "The Yan family is quite attentive." Suddenly, he shouted in a low voice: "Lu Ye!"

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then quickly clasped his fists and said, "Here!"

"I want you to temporarily lead a battalion of elite troops and serve as the vanguard in the upcoming war. Are you willing?"

Lu Ye had a solemn expression. Being a vanguard was undoubtedly very dangerous, and he had always been a loner. He would definitely feel a little uncomfortable suddenly leading a battalion.

But thinking back to the previous battle, it was indeed not appropriate to fight the enemy alone. If he did not worry about exposing his strength, it would be fine. But on the surface, he could only exert the power of Fourteen Daos after all. If he led a battalion of people, perhaps he could perform better.

Furthermore, Ziying had put in a lot of effort in the previous negotiations with the Yan family regarding the ant matter. Now that Ziying had spoken, it would be difficult for him to refuse.

After a brief pause, Lu Ye clasped his fists and said, "I will obey your order, sir."

"Very good, I was right about you. You are indeed born to be restless." Ziying patted Lu Ye's shoulder with a smile.

The corners of Lu Ye's mouth twitched, wondering how she could see this.

"There is a valley three hundred miles northeast of here. All the people are there. You can go there by yourself. In three days, you can attack the star with me!"

"Yes." Lu Ye took the order and soared into the sky.

Only three hundred miles, we arrived quickly.

It was a valley with birds singing and flowers blooming. There were nearly a hundred people scattered everywhere, some were meditating, some were drinking and having fun in groups of three or five, and some were just chatting together.

Lu Ye knew that Ziying asked him to come here early, firstly so that everyone could get to know each other, and secondly probably so that he could gather this elite force for himself.

After all, we are to be the vanguard battalion. When we charge into the enemy camp, everyone must work together as one. And those who are responsible for leading the troops must become the flag of this vanguard battalion. The entire vanguard battalion will follow wherever the orders point.

So there was only one thing he had to do.

He fell to the ground with a loud bang, attracting everyone's gaze in astonishment.

But that's it.

Lu Ye looked around and shouted, "Gather!"

The hundreds of monks scattered around were stunned. Except for a few people who ran over after hearing the words, the rest continued to do their own things and did not take Lu Ye seriously at all.

This is no wonder, this battalion is made up of elite soldiers drawn from the entire Blue Water's guard force. Most of them are of the Nine Daos, a small number are of the Eight Daos, and some of them even have their own Dao weapons. They are usually arrogant, and now an unfamiliar guy suddenly shows up and asks them to assemble, who will care?
Lu Ye took big strides and walked straight to several nearby monks. They were drinking and had hunted a small animal from somewhere. They were roasting it over the fire until it was sizzling with oil.

One of the monks was holding a brush and brushing oil on the barbecue with a leisurely expression.

The aroma filled the air. Lu Ye looked down at the group from above and reiterated calmly, "Gather!"

The men looked at each other, and the monk who was painting the oil sneered, "Who are you?"

Lu Ye said: "I am under the order of the garrison commander to take over this camp from now on. Please follow my orders!"

"Oh..." the monk said in a long tone, "So it's the new commander. My apologies, commander, would you like to sit down and have a drink with us?"

"I said gather!" Lu Ye stared at him.

"Wait a moment, Commander. We will go after we finish drinking this pot of wine and eating this meat. If you can't wait, you can ask others to gather first."

Lu Ye took a step forward, kicked the beast meat away, and then kicked the wine jug over.

"Boy, you're looking for death!" The monk who had just spoken was caught off guard and had sparks flying all over his face. He was instantly covered in dirt and dust. He drew out the long sword at his waist in anger and rushed towards Lu Ye, shouting, "When we were following the garrison commander to kill the enemy, you were playing in the mud. How dare you, at such a young age, use chicken feathers as a token of authority!"

Lu Ye raised his hand and smashed it down with a hammer.

The monk screamed immediately and retreated as fast as he had rushed forward.

Everyone around exclaimed.

Everyone knew how strong that cultivator was. With his nine Dao powers and the Dao weapon in his hand, he could exert a twelve Dao power. He was considered the strongest among the cultivators in this battalion, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even take a blow from the new commander.

"A top-grade Taoist weapon!" The cultivator looked at the short hammer in Lu Ye's hand with a look of surprise and doubt. Although he knew that he must be very powerful to be transferred by the garrison commander to serve as a commander, it was a bit too much that he even had a top-grade Taoist weapon.

"Relying on the power of Taoist weapons is not a big deal. If you have the guts, don't use the Taoist weapons!" The man shouted loudly and threw away the sword in his hand.

Lu Ye shook his neck and gave a sinister smile: "As you wish!" He also threw the short hammer aside.

The next moment, the opponent rushed over and attacked. Lu Ye stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm in the nick of time.

This man was also extremely ferocious. Sensing something was wrong, he threw a punch at him. Lu Ye raised his arm to block it, then bent his knees and struck the opponent's other hand.

In a flash, the two figures collided continuously and fought quickly several times.

With a loud bang, Lu Ye did not move, but the monk staggered back, his face flushed. After holding it in for a long while, he bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice!"

Nine against nine, he was still no match. What he lacked was not the control of the power of Tao, but the difference in strength and speed.

With a loud noise, all the monks around stood up one by one, no matter what they were doing before, and quickly lined up.

Lu Ye reached out and grabbed the short hammer, then stepped to the front of the queue.

He glanced around and saw that there were exactly one hundred monks in this battalion, including himself.

"My name is Lu Ye, and from now on, I will be the commander of this camp!"

“Lu Ye?” The cultivator who had fought with Lu Ye earlier had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but after hearing this he was startled, “May I ask about the Lu Ye who was rumored to have entered the Dao and killed the Rong Dao a few days ago…”

"It's me!" Lu Ye nodded.

The monk changed his expression and showed a flattering look: "So the commander is Brother Lu, you should have told me earlier, this matter is..."

The others were also extremely surprised.

The story of entering the Dao and killing the Rong Dao had already spread throughout the entire Lanshui. Although it relied on the power of ants, it was still an incredible feat regardless of whether there were ants or not.

Lu Ye's name has long been known throughout Lanshui. Who doesn't admire him? But few people really know him.

I never thought that this person would be transferred to serve as the commander, and now he is standing in front of me and others.

For a moment, everyone's eyes became hot.

"Wang Xun greets Commander Lu. From now on, we will follow your lead!"

"Greetings, Commander Lu!" everyone shouted.

Lu Ye glanced at Wang Xun, their eyes met briefly, and he nodded slightly.

"You have been assigned here, so I think you all know what we are going to do. I have only one request. When the battle comes, everyone must follow me closely and not act on their own!"
