Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 321 Personal Soldiers
With the influx of a large amount of spiritual power from heaven and earth, the appearance of the Qi infant became clearer and its limbs became stronger.

Another hour passed before the Qi Infant was officially formed.

A palm-sized baby was suspended in the Dantian, with a faint glow on its surface.

After completing the breakthrough in magic, Jin Renfeng couldn't wait to activate the ability of the source of Qi.

I saw a faint blue light appearing in his eyes, and his pupils and the whites of his eyes disappeared.

For a moment, the magic power around him seemed to have become his body and he could use it as easily as his own arms.

He raised his palm, and the Qi fire gushed out from the palm, transforming into dense silk threads.

Each strand is even thinner than a hair, floating in the air and fluttering in the wind.

"Using spells is more precise and easier than before."

“It’s no different from a one-person world.”

Jin Renfeng carefully felt the changes brought about by the source of Qi and murmured.

The index finger of his right hand was raised, and a thumb-sized sword energy shot out and shot towards his left arm.

Chi-

The sword energy quickly dissipated as soon as it touched the skin of his left hand.

No harm was done.

"The ability to decompose spells is also there."

Jin Renfeng showed a look of satisfaction.

With this ability, he can almost completely ignore spell attacks in the future.

"It's quite good. Although there were some problems in the process, the result is exactly what I expected."

With the source of Qi, he will have more confidence in facing future challenges.

. . . . . .

The next day, in the central military lobby!
"I pay my respects to the elder!"

Jin Renfeng walked to the main seat and bowed.

"It's Renfeng! Are you here for the job?"

Elder Li raised his head and glanced at Jin Renfeng, and said in a friendly manner.

"Exactly! This is the official document of the Dao League!"

As he spoke, Jin Renfeng handed over the document in his hand.

Elder Li took the document, glanced at it, and placed it on the desk.

"Don't worry about that for now. I have something else to ask you."

Jin Renfeng looked puzzled, but he didn't know what was more important than getting a job.

Elder Li put down the document in his hand and said,

"Yesterday I saw a huge vortex of spiritual energy appear in your room, which affected a wide area."

"Even my spiritual power has been disturbed. I wonder what happened?"

Jin Renfeng reacted and realized that it was the noise from last night's practice that caught Elder Li's attention.

"I was practicing a magic last night. That magic consumed quite a bit of spiritual energy, so it caused some noise."

The Golden Phoenix Road,

"I didn't expect to disturb the elder. I really shouldn't have done that!"

"Practicing is something that we cultivators must do. It is not a sin."

Elder Li smiled.

"Being able to cause such a strange phenomenon shows that you have amazing talent."

"No wonder your strength has improved so quickly. It seems that Brother Dongfang was right about you."

"Elder, you are too kind!"

Jin Renfeng's face was calm.

"I have also read the documents. The Dao League has given you the position of Demon Subduing Captain, which is quite appropriate."

Elder Li continued,

"But you are still young and unfamiliar with military affairs, so it's not a good idea to let you take charge of the troops directly."

"In my opinion, why not first serve as a captain of my personal guards, and then be sent out after you are familiar with military affairs? How do you think?"

"I humble my position and take orders."

Jin Renfeng agreed directly.

Although he is titled as the Demon-Slaying Captain, he knows nothing about leading troops, so it would be better for him to obey the orders of the elders.

Anyway, based on the relationship between the two families, the elder had no reason to harm him.

Seeing how straightforward he was, the head of the Li family nodded with satisfaction.

Although he is a young man, he is neither arrogant nor impatient, which is really rare!
"Stand aside for a moment."

"Yes!"

Jin Renfeng bowed and then walked to the side of the tent.

About a quarter of an hour later, many generals and officers entered the main hall one after another.

Seeing that everyone was present, the head of the Li family spoke calmly.

"Let's go to the court and discuss the matter!"

Several servants carried up the sand table magic weapon and placed it in the middle of the hall.

The head of the Li family and a group of generals walked forward and stood next to the magic weapon.

"Elder! After observing the movements of the demon tribe these days, they seem to be planning a counterattack!"

A general said,

"The three major families, Barking Dog, Lion Ox, and Striving Forward, have all made unusual moves."

The head of the Li family nodded.

"Earlier, the Mengjin tribe gave up on invading the city, bypassed our army, and attacked the defense line, causing huge losses to the rear."

"Even though we are retreating now, we can't just ignore it."

"During this period, we need to slow down our offensive. We can't just keep attacking like before."

After saying that, Elder Li turned his head and looked at a short man.

"Deng Hong, you lead the three generals to reinforce Sanshan City and repair the defense line."

According to the human military system, five people form a group, two groups form a ten, five tenths form a team, two teams form a city, five cities form a battalion, and five battalions form an army.

Sandu means three hundred monks.

"I humble my position and take orders."

The man bowed.

"Shi Tianlu, you take a battalion of soldiers to reinforce Feipu City and form a horn with Sanshan City to reinforce each other."

"I humble my position and take orders."

A thin monk responded.

The head of the Li family issued one order after another, all of which were instructions to disperse troops and reinforce the front lines.

At first, Jin Renfeng just felt it was new, after all, he had never seen such a battle between cultivators.

But as time went on, I gradually felt the difference.

Compared with the great wars among mortals in previous lives, the wars among cultivators are more three-dimensional.

Places like mountain passes are always battlegrounds in mortal wars, but in wars among monks, they are no different from ordinary cities.

After all, for cultivators, flying and hiding in the ground are trivial matters. No matter how high the mountain is or how dangerous the terrain is, it cannot stop the flying cultivators and demons.

Therefore, in the monastic war, the obstacles of terrain are almost negligible.

In addition, compared to mortals, the logistical pressure on the monks' troops is further reduced, and their marching speed is greatly improved.

This makes the battlefield situation change more rapidly. Orders must be issued at the fastest speed.

Soon, Elder Li completed all the arrangements.

All the generals left one after another, each doing his own thing.

Elder Li sat back on the main seat and called Jin Renfeng over.

"Renfeng, is there anything you don't understand about what I just said?"

"I heard it almost exactly!"

The Golden Phoenix Road.

"There is only one thing that I am a little confused about."

"But there's no harm in talking!"

The head of the Li family waved his hand.

Jin Renfeng said slowly,

"Although the arrangements made by the elders have reinforced the major cities and replenished the defense force, the troops at hand have also been greatly dispersed."

"If the demon tribe takes this opportunity to concentrate their forces to attack, won't they be defeated one by one?"

"It is indeed possible, but there is nothing we can do about it."

The head of the Li family sighed.
"The demon tribe came suddenly, and we were caught off guard, and lost a large area of ​​territory."

"The cities surrounding the front line today were once the heartland of our human race."

"There are no less than a million people gathered there."

"The demon tribe is attacking everywhere. At this moment, millions of people are under the threat of the demon tribe."

"If we want to reduce losses, we can only divide our forces for defense."

"Although I have sent out 3,000 soldiers, there are still nearly 9,000 cultivators left in this city. They are enough to resist the attack of the demon tribe." "In addition, Jingyun City is located in the center of the defense line and is close to the other six cities. If there is an emergency, we can quickly send troops to support."

"There's no need to worry about any unexpected situations."

Jin Renfeng understood that the plan was to let the cities on the defense line hold back the demon tribe and then send in the main force for reinforcement.

Afterwards, the head of the Li family called a young soldier.

The soldier was wearing armor, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong build and dark skin.

"This is a young man from my clan, Li Hu, who is now also the captain of my personal guards."

"You are new to the barracks and are not familiar with this army."

"Let him show you around so you can learn more."

"Thank you, elder."

Jin Renfeng bowed and thanked him.

. . . . . .

Jin Renfeng and Li Hu walked out of the central military hall, one in front and one behind.

"Brother Jin, I am familiar with everything in this military camp. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Li Hu said eagerly.

"Brother Li Hu is from the Li family. I wonder what his relationship is with Li Jingang?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

"In terms of seniority and age, he is my cousin, but I am from a distant branch of the family, while he is from the direct line. He is also far superior to me in terms of strength and talent."

Li Hu said.

"We have a good relationship. When I was at home before, I heard him mention you."

"I heard that you are quite powerful and even defeated him in the martial arts competition."

“Brother King Kong is very powerful, I was able to win just by luck.

Jin Renfeng said lightly.

"You are humble!"

Seeing him like this, Li Hu couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness.

The two men walked slowly in the army, and Li Hu began to introduce the situation in the army to him.

"The elders now have a total of 12,000 soldiers at their disposal. These 10,000 soldiers are divided into five armies. Each army has 2,500 monks, led by five generals: Li, Yang, Wang Quan, Wen, and Zhang."

"During this period, we have recovered a total of seven cities, and six cities are still in the hands of the enemy. The Jingyun City under our feet is the one we recovered from the demon tribe."

"The demon tribe currently has about 9,000 soldiers, all of whom are demon cultivators from the Southern Barbarian Tribe."

"I wonder what the relationship is between the Southern Barbarians and the Southern Kingdom?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

"The Nanman tribe is a subordinate force of the Southern Kingdom. It is a bit like a feudal lord."

Li Hu introduced.

"The supreme leader of the Nanman tribe is the Nanman King, and this war was started by him."

"The King of the Southern Barbarians?"

Jin Renfeng was a little confused.

He didn't have much impression of this demon king.

"Since this is a war in the Southern Kingdom, the Poison King didn't intervene?"

"That's not true."

Li Hu shook his head.

"Although the old poisonous creature is tyrannical and domineering, he has never cared about foreign wars and rarely shows up."

"It is precisely because of this that the human race and the Southern Kingdom have always lived in peace in the past."

Jin Renfeng nodded secretly.

The Poison King Huan Du Qingtian did not participate in this war, but it seems there is hope of winning this time.

"By the way, Brother Li, I am now also the captain of the personal guards. I wonder what exactly our personal guards are responsible for?"

Jin Renfeng was suddenly assigned the position of captain of the personal guards, and for a moment he didn't know what to do with this position.

"There's nothing specific to be responsible for. Just follow the elders."

Li Hu smiled and said,

"Normally, the Royal Guard Battalion is responsible for protecting the leader, but Elder Li's strength is beyond our ability to protect him."

Jin Renfeng smiled knowingly.

With the strength of the Li family's patriarch, if they encounter danger, it would be better for the elders to protect them.

"So our Royal Guard Battalion doesn't have much to do. We are usually responsible for delivering messages."

Li Hu continued.

"To be honest, there is no better position in this military camp than our personal guard camp."

"We are the elders' trusted confidants in the personal battalion. We are treated the best in the army, and all our expenses are the same as those of the elders."

"There isn't much work to do on weekdays. It can be said that there is little work but a lot of money."

"If the army wins, we can share the credit. If the army loses, it has nothing to do with us."

"After all, our duty is to protect the elders. As long as the elders are fine, we won't be held responsible."

"Since I am close to the elders and surrounded by the army almost all the time, there won't be any problems with safety."

"There are tens of thousands of soldiers in this army, and few of them are as comfortable as our personal guard camp."

Jin Renfeng nodded. If that was true, then this position was indeed good.

"As the captain of the personal guards, you can command fifty monks."

Li Hu said.

"I just happen to have time. I'll take you there to make arrangements."

. . . . . .

In the training ground, a group of monks are practicing military formations.

"The captain position of the personal guard battalion is now full. There are no vacancies in the team."

Li Hu walked in front and introduced,
"If you want to gather your soldiers, you can only choose from the army."

"That's convenient."

Jin Renfeng said calmly.

He had no complaints about this. With his strength, there was little that his soldiers could do to help him.

If he really encounters the enemy, he will have to take the lead.

"Brother Huzi, why do you have time to come to my place?"

As soon as he arrived next to the team, a big man came over and patted Li Hu on the shoulder in a familiar manner.

"There is one more brother in the personal guard camp, but he has no soldiers under him."

"I'll bring him over to see if there's anything suitable."

Li Hu introduced

"So this guy is also the captain of the personal guards."

"He is young and promising."

The big man looked at Jin Renfeng and praised him.

"Nice to meet you!"

Jin Renfeng bowed.

"This is Lu Tietou, from the Lu family of the Dao League. His strength is not outstanding, but he is good at training soldiers!"

Li Hu introduced,
"The quality of his soldiers is the best in the army."

"You can't go wrong if you choose from him!"

"You are just staring at the few people I have."

Lu Tietou shook his head helplessly.

"How many people do you want this time?"

"We have to take fifty people away!"

Li Hu smiled.

"Fifty people? A whole team, all coming from me!"

Lu Tietou’s eyes widened.

"Even if you're fleecing someone, you're not as ruthless as me!"

"There are only 500 people in my battalion."

"Isn't this because you are good at training soldiers?"

Li Hu smiled and patted his chest.

"If it was someone else, and they wanted me to look for it, I wouldn't be bothered to look for it!"

"No! You've already taken some people from me before. If you take so many more, my camp will be almost empty!"

Lu Tietou said with a bitter face.

"Tietou, don't be so stingy. My brother has just arrived at the military camp and is not familiar with the various military affairs. You should at least help him out a little!"

Li Hu persuaded.

"If it doesn't work, I'll consider it as my debt to you. How about I accompany you to drink a pot of peach wine in the future?"
