This place is fun

Chapter 81 Leader

When they heard that Zhai Ling actually had five spots for the armored soldiers, many people's eyes lit up.

However, Zhai Ling could not see any expression on Su Daoshan's face. The young man just stood there with a dull expression, as if he was in a trance.

Su Daoshan sneered in his heart.

When he was a graduate student, his supervisor's cakes were all kinds of shapes and flavors. He was so full of them that now whenever he sees such cakes, his first reaction is to stay away from them.

Whoever wants to eat it can eat it. Anyway, the young master won’t release the eagle until he sees the rabbit, and won’t string the bow until he sees the enemy.

Besides, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.

This world is full of evil, so it's better to be cautious in everything.

Zhai Ling frowned slightly, shifted his gaze away from Su Daoshan, and looked at the other militiamen who were eager to try.

Although they were all wearing brand new uniforms, they were essentially a mob.

They were men and women, of different ages, and of different statuses. Some were just farmers or craftsmen with a bit of strength, some were bloodthirsty guards or escorts, and some were pampered young masters and young ladies.

Zhai Ling is thirty-three years old this year. He was born in an ordinary civilian family in Dingzhou in the north of Xi State. He was admitted to a second-rate sect at the age of seventeen and joined the army at the age of twenty-three.

In ten years, he accumulated military merits with his sword and gun and was promoted to the second-class tiger captain. Before coming to Yishan City, he was already the first flag commander of a B-shaped battalion in the Northern Regiment of the Fiery Army. This position was second only to the battalion commander and deputy commander in the battalion.

For the past ten years, Zhai Ling has been living in blood and fire. Although the number of invasions by the You tribe has decreased, the war has never stopped.

Humanity was divided into isolated cities, with less and less land and food, and had been pushed to the edge of the cliff. The role of the four major field armies of Xi State was to push the defense line from the edge of the city to the depths of the wilderness, and strive for more living space.

No one knew how difficult and even hopeless this mission was. Therefore, no one knew how out of tune Zhai Ling was with the people in front of him. While these people were hiding in the city and living their peaceful lives, Zhai Ling and his comrades were walking through mountains of swords and seas of fire every day.

Over the years, Zhai Ling had witnessed countless cruel and tragic scenes, and had buried countless close friends and companions with his own hands.

Zhai Ling was reluctant to come to Yishan City this time.

But as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the four major legions are no exception.

In the original Yizi Camp, Zhai Ling and the deputy commander were the most direct competitors. The other party had a much stronger background than Zhai Ling. Zhai Ling relied on the elite subordinates he had trained and his excellent combat record over the years.

Originally, the You tribe's invasion of Xiazhou was a great opportunity for Zhai Ling to make achievements. But he didn't expect that he would be sent here at the end.

Although on the surface, being promoted from a flag chief to a battalion commander was considered a meteoric rise, even a fool would know that such a local militia was nothing. Most militias would be directly disbanded after the war. By then, the most compensation Zhai Ling could get was a promotion from a second-class tiger lieutenant to a first-class tiger lieutenant, and then being transferred to a garrison camp in a certain city as a commander.

But his absence from a crucial war also meant that he was marginalized in the military, and his future path to achievement was basically blocked.

This is definitely not what Zhai Ling wants.

Moreover, Xiazhou Beijun and Xijun are adjacent, and Yishan City may not be safe. Compared with leading a group of rabble to carry out tasks such as escorting supplies, clearing out crazy puppets, and chasing refugees and bandits, Zhai Ling would rather lead his old subordinates to charge into battle.

This was not only Zhai Ling's idea, but also the idea of ​​all the officers of the Fiery Army around him.

But reality is reality after all. At this point, they can only cheer up and try their best to lead this T-shaped battalion. Even if they don't expect to train this battalion into a strong army, at least they have to ensure that it will not collapse at the first blow on the battlefield. Time is short and the task is heavy. And this involves a problem...

Who is the leader among this mob?
# # #
On the slope, the crowd was slightly agitated.

However, although everyone was eager to try, they immediately turned their attention to the children of several aristocratic families.

Since the young man from the noble family didn't say anything, how could anyone else get the spotlight?
However, after waiting for several seconds, everyone found that the children of the noble families did not move. On the contrary, they all had complicated expressions and glanced in one direction from time to time, as if they were also waiting for something. Then follow their gaze and look in the direction...

"what happened?"

"Tsk, they are waiting for Su Daoshan to speak."

"That nerd, isn't he?"

"Why not? He is now the direct disciple of Han Gu and the most outstanding disciple of Yishan City's aristocratic family. According to the rules, all the people from Yishan City in our camp should be headed by him..."

"..."

Everyone turned their eyes to Su Daoshan.

If someone else was stared at by so many people, they would definitely feel surprised and uneasy. However, Su Daoshan had a dull expression and said nothing. It seemed that he didn't understand what was going on at all.

This gave everyone some toothache.

But everyone took it for granted - Su Daoshan was a nerd, and expecting him to react like a normal person was like expecting a lump of wood to grow a brain.

The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

Everyone noticed that after asking the question, the battalion commander Zhai Ling stopped talking. The other officers of the Fiery Army also remained silent. They let this strange atmosphere continue, looking like a cold-eyed bystander.

Seeing this, several children from aristocratic families looked at each other, gathered together and reached a consensus, and then led by Yue Shifeng walked towards Su Daoshan.

The children of the noble families all knew that after Su Daoshan became Han Gu's direct disciple, the status of each other was re-arranged. The strong are respected, which is the rule of this world. No one can violate it, whether they like it or not.

Especially in the military, this is an iron rule.

Originally, Yue Shifeng and others were planning to find an opportunity to "talk" with Su Daoshan. Although this would be a bit embarrassing and even embarrassing, the problem has been exposed. If it is not solved, there will be more trouble in the future.

As children of aristocratic families, we have been influenced by them since childhood and naturally know what is important.

Besides, although everyone's relationship with Su Daoshan was not very good before, it was nothing more than the immaturity and arrogance of a group of young people. Maybe there were gangs, maybe there were exclusions and ridicules, but there was no deep hatred.

When the elders of the family prepared gifts and went to the Su family in an endless stream with enthusiastic faces, it might be the best option for everyone to bow their heads and improve the relationship.

However, just when the children of the noble families were about to reach Su Daoshan, suddenly, a slender figure walked past them.

Yue Zhen?!
