Fire Monster

Chapter 219 Extreme Operation
Just when Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun had briefed each other and made all preparations, waiting for the only opportunity, old man Fan Yi suddenly sent his family to visit.

"He is a nephew of old man Fan. He is not currently employed by the Demon Suppression Department or the Provincial Government. He is just a workshop owner. He said he wanted to see you, brother Zhao, in his personal capacity."

Sun Ze came to report and found it very strange.

But Zhao Guanshan knew very well that this was the case where those who come with bad intentions will not be welcomed by those with good intentions.

He personally met the man, who was a middle-aged man in his forties, very fat, with a kind face and a broad smile like a big orange.

Only in his eyes, which had become very small due to his fatness, was there a look of inexplicable mockery. While he looked around cautiously, he also revealed a tiny bit of greed that he did not want to conceal at all.

"Excuse me, this is Commander Zhao, right? My name is Fan Liwei, and Fan Yi is my uncle. Today, I am here for three things. Commander Zhao, please listen carefully. I am not here on behalf of my uncle. All my words and actions have nothing to do with my uncle, nor with the Demon Suppression Department or the Provincial Administration Department. They are all my personal actions. If you want to use the Image-Retaining Pearl, you can do so."

Fan Liwei smiled strangely, these guys are quite smart. The last time the Governor fell into the hands of that bitch's Liuyingzhu, but do they think this will be useful?

"Please, I'm listening."

Zhao Guanshan's expression remained unchanged.

"First of all, I'm here to seek cooperation. Well, I have a workshop with considerable profits. I want to cooperate with Commander Zhao. Let's be fair and split the profits 50-50. My workshop will take out half and your workshop will take out half. We will jointly set up a new workshop and the profits will still be split 50-50."

"I disagree, please continue."

Zhao Guanshan listened quietly, not surprised.

Fan Liwei was also not surprised. Instead, he laughed happily. The fat on his face trembled as he laughed, like surging waves.

"The second thing is that I am here to act as a matchmaker. Commander Zhao is still unmarried and he is already eighteen years old this year. There are still six months and nineteen days before the Dao Palace stipulates that one must get married before the age of nineteen. And I happen to have a good match. I have a sister who is only thirty-five years old this year. Her husband died in battle not long ago."

"She is good-looking, gentle and considerate, and knows how to serve others. If you have no objection, we can pick an auspicious day in the next two days and get married directly."

"As for the betrothal gift, you don't need too much. Just give half of your city to me, and it will be just the right amount to create a good story!"

"I disagree, please continue."

Zhao Guanshan still spoke quietly and was not angry. He had already guessed how disgusting Old Man Fan would be. But it didn't matter. You can be disgusting and I will play mine. Let's see who has higher skills in the end.

"Hahaha! Okay, then the third thing. I see Commander Zhao is a young hero, and I have no children, so I want to take Commander Zhao in as my adopted son. If you agree, I will give you my workshop."

"I don't agree, please do as you please!"

Zhao Guanshan glanced calmly at Fan Liwei's neck, turned around and left. This was all the old man Fan could do.

In this way, another three days passed, and the six-month period was up. As expected, the Demon Suppression Division issued a combat document, which was delivered personally by the marching commander of the 9th Brigade.

"Transfer order to the Ninth Brigade of the Northern Camp of the Demon Suppression Division. Starting today, the Liuzi Battalion will be incorporated into the Ninth Brigade. The defense zone is located at the following location."

"The daily combat mission is to kill a ninth-level evil demon and ensure that the defense line you are responsible for will not be destroyed by the evil demon. If there is any mistake, military law will be enforced!"

"Of course, since you are not part of the main combat battalion, this combat mission is not mandatory. You can choose to withdraw at any time."

After a few simple words, he left the combat documents and went away.

When Liu Yuwei took the document and looked at it, her face changed.

However, Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun looked very calm, as they had expected it.

"The combat mission is nothing, but our defense line was placed a hundred miles away. This is clearly intentional. In addition, that area happens to be where the tenth-level evil demons are deployed. Even if the tenth-level evil demons are not killed by us, they will definitely be affected. As long as there is a problem with the defense line, it will be all our responsibility."

"No, we can't accept this document! This is a trap!"

"Sister, take it. Even if it's a trap, it's not a big problem. We just need to defend it. Can't we defend a mere ten-mile defense line? Besides, killing a ninth-level evil demon will earn you 500 points of Dao Palace contribution and 60,000 points of Demon Suppression Division merit."

"Sixty thousand merit points a day, that's one million and eight hundred thousand a month!"

Xiao Chengyun said with a smile.

In theory, one point of merit can be exchanged for one point of Dao Palace contribution.

However, the Dao Palace only provides the Demon Suppression Bureau with an exchange quota of 5 million points each month.

Therefore, in addition to the exchange amount, the merits of the Demon Suppression Bureau actually have another value system.

The last time Xiao Chengyun exchanged for a Class A sealed magical instrument, it was because she was using the exchange quota that a third-level Qi Refiner had. She could exchange about five thousand per month, which accumulated over a year, and that was a lot.

"Junior sister, you still underestimate the shamelessness of those officials in the Demon Suppression Department. The merits of 1.8 million need to be awarded first."

"I have a classmate who is currently in the Longxiong Camp. They also have about 1.8 million merit points a month, but more than half of them need to be distributed to the military supervisors, and then 300,000 will be deducted for the Demon Suppression Network, and 200,000 will be deducted for the maintenance of the chariots."

"The last camp's 400 warriors can only get 200,000 points. That means each person can only get 500 points of merit per month, and they have to maintain their psychic weapons by themselves."

"This is the Longxiong Battalion, the 9th Brigade's favorite. We will be detained even more. I have a feeling that when we are deployed, the most problems will be with the Demon Suppression Network. They can deduct all our credits by finding a few excuses every day!"

Liu Yuwei sneered, she was quite familiar with this method.

In the past six months, she did not focus on cultivation, but went to the Taoist Palace to register, and then conducted training for all the full-time veterans and new recruits, so she has her own information channels.

"No matter what, even if this is a pit, we have to jump in."

"But just in case, I hope we can split into two groups."

Zhao Guanshan spoke up. "Sister, you take four level three imperial seal chariots and ten level one imperial seal chariots. Deng Jiu, Mu Mingyuan, and Yu Che will stay with you. You will be given one for the main battle team and four for the defense team. You don't need to cross the defense line. You only need to watch this side of the defense line and patrol the ten-mile defense line. Bring the photo beads with you as well. Record any problems that occur there."

"This way, even if someone tries to do something tricky, they will have to think twice. Even if they really let in a ninth-level evil demon, they won't be able to do anything to us since we have evidence."

"As for Sun Ze, bring a defense team to watch over the house."

"I, Xiao Chengyun, Wang Chen, Zhang Qian, Mo Laoer, Zhang Dayong, and four main battle teams, four level 3 imperial chariots, crossed the defense line to kill the ninth-level evil demon assigned to us every day. Also, remember, no matter what we do in the defense line, you must hold on. If the Demon Suppression Division asks, you can say that the main force of our Liu Camp has always been here."

"As for Xiao Jianjun, she has her freedom."

"Sister, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Guanshan specifically reminded her that the reason why he wanted to bypass Liu Yuwei and not tell her about the plan was to create a premise that Liu Yuwei was not aware of.

The Demon Suppression Division was unable to punish the Liu Camp based on the rules or military law.

Military law is no joke.

So this has to be circumvented.

As a third-level Qi Refiner, Xiao Chengyun is qualified to leave any battle camp freely, because the Taoist Palace allows any qualified social team except the Demon Suppression Department, the Provincial Department, and the Taoist Academy to enter the first line of defense to fight.

This is clearly stipulated in the Dao Palace Order No. 9821.

In other words, Zhao Guanshan's plan was to steal something.

They entered the first line of defense in the name of Liu Camp, and then Xiao Chengyun immediately applied to the Taoist Palace to give up his status as a military supervisor and to kill on the front line in his own name.

From beginning to end, it is in accordance with the rules. What does it have to do with Liu Ziying?

Liu Yuwei was outside and she didn’t even know anything.

"I understand!"

Liu Yuwei nodded heavily, her eyes shining. Although she didn't know Zhao Guanshan's plan, she could guess it a little.

Moreover, she has absolute trust in Zhao Guanshan and also has great trust in Xiao Chengyun.

"Be careful!"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister! The one standing in front of you is a quasi-fourth-level Qi Refiner."

At this moment, Xiao Chengyun was even more excited and expectant than Zhao Guanshan. He had been sharpening his sword for five months, waiting to test its sharpness!
Soon, a total of eighteen imperially-sealed chariots rushed out, eight at the third level and ten at the first level.

The three extra level three imperially-sealed chariots were their newly accumulated assets.

Although it is not as good as the enhanced version of the third-level tank, it does not have any obvious shortcomings.

In addition, the four level three chariots led by Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun also carried a lot of important supplies.

For example, it can repair the vulnerable parts of the tank.

They also carried composite armor that could be equipped with three chariots, as well as an operating table, and four spare psychic weapons for each person.

It is worth mentioning that all of them are now equipped with psychic weapons made of level 100 high-level materials, and their combat power is extremely violent.

When they arrived at the designated first line of defense, the Demon-Suppressing Net, Liu Yuwei showed the document recording the combat order. In a moment, the Taoist Palace mark on the document lit up, echoing the spiritual light on the Demon-Suppressing Net.

Soon, a crack opened up on the Demon-Suppressing Net, just big enough for a chariot to pass through.

This is the ten-mile-long Demon-Suppressing Net defense zone that they have to guard.

With this document, you have the authority to enter and exit freely.

Of course, this is under supervision. Every entry and exit is recorded and monitored by the Taoist Palace, the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the Demon Suppression Bureau's North Camp.

At this time, the four chariots led by Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun entered one after another, while the remaining four chariots led by Liu Yuwei and ten first-level imperially-sealed chariots stayed outside.

Afterwards, Liu Yuwei used documents to shut down the Demon-Suppressing Network.

The next second, Xiao Chengyun, who had already entered, directly applied to the Taoist Palace to withdraw from the Liu Camp. At the same time, in her own name, as a civilian group, she entered the first line of defense to fight.

This information also appeared simultaneously on Liu Yuwei's identity jade card.

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what was going on. She took out the troop mobilization document and applied to give up this combat mission.

Normally this is impossible and not allowed.

But this time, the combat documents given to Liu Yuwei by the Demon Suppression Division were tampered with. The Ninth Brigade of the Beidaying Camp of the Demon Suppression Division originally hoped that the Liu Camp would retreat in the face of difficulties.

So, there is absolutely no problem in operation.

The best part is that Liu Ziying now has a land deed from the Demon Suppression Bureau, so they can live on the land marked on the deed as ordinary people.

The premise is that there is sufficient source of livelihood and you will not be isolated.

Therefore, combining various factors led to Zhao Guanshan's such a bold move.
