Fire Monster

Chapter 93 Forced into the Palace
It was a long night, but nothing serious really happened.

The members of the Eighth Team took turns entering the big pit to rest, and by dawn, they were still able to maintain a relatively peak state.

And Zhao Guanshan had to harvest a total of fifteen semi-solidified magic pills as big as fists.

"Captain, please, if anyone asks, just say we managed to get through it."

When Liu Yuwei came over to rest, Zhao Guanshan gave her repeated instructions, and now he still feels guilty.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this matter at all. In fact, what you should worry about more is your future. I might have dragged you all down."

Liu Yuwei sighed and was in a bad mood.

"Captain, could it be that our harvest this time has not met our expectations?" Zhao Guanshan asked tentatively.

Liu Yuwei shook her head. "It's actually not related to this. Although this has indeed improved the situation to a certain extent, the overall situation has actually been decided long ago."

"Captain, can you tell me about it?"

"That's fine, you'll find out soon enough anyway."

Liu Yuwei thought for a moment and said, "This time the demons' massive attack is more fierce than seven years ago, but the counterattack of the Linjiang Prefecture Demon Suppression Division is very different from that of seven years ago. Now that the war has only been going on for the twelfth day, we have already seen the dawn of victory and are about to enter a full-scale counterattack."

"Ah, this is a good thing!" Zhao Guanshan was puzzled and at the same time extremely shocked.

"Then do you know what the battlefields were like when the evil demons launched large-scale attacks in the past? Each time, it required the experienced Qi-refining masters in the Taoist Palace to take action. With their powerful cultivation, they flew into the sky with swords, and formed a team of five people to set up the Demon-Suppressing Net. Only then could they divide the evil demon army into pieces and annihilate them separately."

"But this time, the Demon Suppression Division produced a level three Imperial Seal Chariot, and at the beginning of the war, it easily replaced the Dao Palace's senior Qi Refiners. This level three Imperial Seal Chariot is completely different from the level one and level two Imperial Seal Chariots. It has more power, higher defense, and can fly. It is truly terrifying."

"I don't know how the Dao Palace's top brass view this matter, but undoubtedly, they are also shocked by such a result."

At this point, Liu Yuwei sighed. Who wouldn't be shocked? In fact, she only learned all the news yesterday. Before that, she didn't believe it. She didn't think that anything could replace the senior Qi Refiners sent by the Taoist Palace.

"Of course, if it was just a level three Imperial Seal Chariot, it would not have been able to affect the war situation so quickly. Another important reason is that the Chief Secretary launched a demon-sealing potion this year. You should have seen the effect. It has reduced the death rate on the front battlefield by almost 90%. Not only has the Imperial Seal Great Wall not been breached, but the battle line has been advancing, killing the demon army without any temper."

"That's why even the Dao Palace had to compromise. Did you know that the Dao Palace actually announced the matter of the Marrow Cleansing Elixir twelve days ago? Of course, the 90th-grade Marrow Cleansing Elixir can only be obtained by the person with the best performance, while the 80th-grade Marrow Cleansing Elixir requires a full 500 Dao Palace Contribution Points to obtain."

"what!"

Zhao Guanshan's eyes widened. He had felt that something was wrong here before. How could the Taoist Palace launch the Marrow Cleansing Pill at this time? It turned out that the price was reduced.

Was the price brought down by the Demon Suppression Bureau?

From five hundred to fifty!
Sure enough, productivity is king.

In this way, what he worried about before was actually meaningless. The Demon Suppression Department and the Provincial Administration Department were actually the ones who joined forces. Through a beautiful answer sheet, they joined forces with the Taoist Temple and forced the Taoist Palace to back down and release the Marrow Cleansing Elixir on a large scale?

50 merit points can be exchanged for one, which is indeed affordable for a martial artist at this level.

"Then what?" Zhao Guanshan asked again. Liu Yuwei just talked about the general background, and he wanted to know more.

"The Demon Suppression Division is very powerful now. It is said that there are fifty level three imperial chariots in the North Camp alone. The outcome of this war is beyond doubt, so the Demon Suppression Division is expanding its army. You know, the armies under the Demon Suppression Division have always been divided into three types. One type is the elite camp directly under the Demon Suppression Division, such as the Shanhai Camp."

"The second type is the pioneer camp, such as our Fenwei Camp, but it is not directly under the Demon Suppression Department. Instead, it is jointly managed by the Taoist Palace, the Demon Suppression Department, the Provincial Administration Department, and the Taoist Academy."

"As for the third type, the garrison camp, it is jointly managed by the Demon Suppression Department and the Provincial Administration Department. They are pure rookies who can't even get out of the Imperial Seal Great Wall."

"So this time, the Demon Suppression Division took this opportunity to directly request a number of elite battalions. If there are four major battalions in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, they should be able to get 20 elite battalions. Although the total number of people is only over 4,000, each team in these elite battalions will be equipped with a level 3 imperial seal chariot. You can imagine how strong the combat effectiveness will be."

"Then, in exchange, the Demon Suppression Division will no longer interfere with the Development Camp and the Garrison Camp in the future."

"From now on, all development camps will be directly managed by the Chief Secretary, and the garrison camps will be jointly managed by the Chief Secretary and the Taoist Academy. All the 9th-level martial arts students of the Taoist Academy will directly join the garrison camps."

"But the most important thing is that the Dao Palace will no longer send out Qi-refining masters to supervise the army."

Liu Yuwei still looked very lost when she said this.

Zhao Guanshan was overwhelmed by what he heard. There was no doubt that this was a coup and a redistribution of interests, but the result was still very good, at least for ordinary people.

It seems that his previous thoughts were too pessimistic. The humans in Linjiang Prefecture can definitely fight for another 500 years.

In the future, the Demon Suppression Division will completely withdraw its power from the internal police and the urban management for maintaining public order, and will only serve as a powerful army responsible for the external defense operations of Linjiang Prefecture.

The merit system led by the Demon Suppression Bureau ensures that the Demon Suppression Bureau will become stronger and stronger. Especially with its directly affiliated factories, there is no logistical pressure at all.

The Chief Secretary also got the power over internal police and urban management, so that he could better manage the rear.

Including the Taoist Academy, being able to send Level 9 military students directly to the garrison camp is also a good thing.

Also, because the Demon Suppression Division's level three imperially sealed chariots still require Qi Refiners to man them, even the Demon Suppression Division must curry favor with Taoist temples that can train Qi Refiners in large numbers.

Simply delicious.

No matter how you look at it, this is a happy ending, even for the Dao Palace.

If Zhao Guanshan was the seal holder of the Taoist Palace, he would even be very pleased about this.

Those experienced Qi Refiners can take time to study more meaningful things instead of fighting on the front lines.

Isn’t it good to be alive?
"So, our Team Eight will stay behind and cannot be selected into the elite combat camp?" Zhao Guanshan asked again. He vaguely understood why Liu Yuwei was so disappointed. Oh my god, sister, you almost misled me!
"Yes, it's because of me. Otherwise, the Eighth Squad should be able to join the elite combat battalion."

"From now on, the name of the Fenwei Camp will be taken away by the commander Zhao Yue, and we will only be the second pioneering camp. The one who is in charge of us is Lao Deng'er, Ding Wanjin, from the material distribution department."

"I think this result is pretty good. How can it be considered a burden?" Zhao Guanshan was puzzled.

"Are you sure? After the pioneer camp was taken over by the Chief Secretary, it was required to settle on the spot and everyone had to bring their families over. Do you know what it means to bring your family over?"

"In addition, we have the current treatment because we are still a front-line unit. Once we become a pioneer camp, all treatment will be reduced by half, which is a light punishment, because all the governors are poor."

Liu Yuwei was very angry!
Zhao Guanshan immediately felt the same way. Damn, those bastards in the governor's office are not even worthy of being human.

"So these two days are our last chance to gain merit, because there will never be another chance like this again."

"And this opportunity was given by you. I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone here."

"However, please stop making random guesses in the future. What kind of messed up behind-the-scenes forces and teams are so realistic? People who don't know would think you are telling a legend. Besides, can you be irresponsible if you make up stories about others?"

When Liu Yuwei said this, she suddenly looked over with a playful look, but Zhao Guanshan was already numb.

"Wait, you-"

"What do you mean by "I"? I do have a little admiration for the military supervisor, but I'm not a fool. In the face of life and death, those are nothing but clouds. Besides, how can he think highly of me? It's you brothers who have been with me through thick and thin that are the most real."

Liu Yuwei said calmly that in the past, she could still watch him from afar, but now that the Fenwei Camp had been reorganized into the Second Pioneer Camp and there were no more military supervisors or Qi-refining masters, she would never again see that handsome, suave, and truly gentle military supervisor who was as kind as jade.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan finally understood where Liu Yuwei's murderous aura towards him came from yesterday. Indeed, he would also be angry and embarrassed when he heard others making up stories about him.

"Captain, I apologize to you!"

Zhao Guanshan said quickly, this time it was a big embarrassment, what happened, wrong information analysis led to wrong conclusions.

"No need. Why should we be so serious? Besides, your guess is not all nonsense. I was really angry at that time. Do you know why our Eighth Squad was not selected into the elite combat camp? It was because of that bastard Zhao Yue. He actually wanted to marry me as a concubine. Fuck his ancestors! Even if I could give you a break, I would never give him a break!"

Liu Yuwei cursed angrily, then smiled again, "I'm much better now. You liberal arts students just love to fantasize, which is a taboo on the battlefield. The situation was urgent yesterday, and I couldn't correct you, but don't do this in the future. Okay, the time is almost up, I'm going to ring the golden bell, you don't want those people to see your secret, right?"

Liu Yuwei winked at Zhao Guanshan, then left with a big laugh. This boomerang of language art returned the original effect in its original form.

Zhao Guanshan was stunned for a long time before he realized what he meant by "cheap for me". Can we continue to discuss this topic?
But this woman is truly a heroine who dares to love and hate!
With a sigh, Zhao Guanshan jumped directly into the pit. It was time to finish.

The people of the Eighth Team could not understand this psychic vortex generator, but others might not, especially the old zombie at the material receiving and sending office, and even the Qigong master who was supervising the army, could see through it at a glance.
