He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 272: The Taste of Border Troops (Additional Chapter 2 for Guo Jiuxing Silver Alliance)

Jiang Lin could naturally think of what that person could think of.

Along the way, we have to pass through the territories of many powerful clans. If we keep forcing our way through like this, we will probably encounter a tough opponent sooner or later.

Jiang Lin was not afraid of masters in the Yuanwu realm, but he was very clear that the powerful clans had a strong foundation and there were probably many masters in the Shenwu realm.

His Majesty the Emperor can hide his skills and kill the masters of Xuanhua Dao, so can't these powerful clans do the same?
He simply took out the border army badge and hung it around his waist, with a long sword in his hand, looking as powerful as a rainbow.

After two hundred miles, another roadblock appeared ahead.

"Stop, this place belongs to me..."

"Border troops are in a hurry, make way!" Jiang Lin raised his badge with one hand and his long sword with the other.

If you don't give way, I'll chop you down!

The man saw the badge clearly and knew that the man was indeed from the border army. Thinking of the major events that had happened in the past few days, he quickly gave way.

When Jiang Lin passed by, his expression suddenly changed.

"This is... the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm?"

There are many people in the Yuanwu realm among the border troops, but the lowest rank he has to be is a lieutenant general.

However, Jiang Lin’s badge is not of such a high grade.

This made the man's face full of doubt and confusion. A ninth-grade Yuanwu Realm warrior couldn't be just a lieutenant general. He had to be at least a general.

But this badge is not one of them. Besides, how could a general travel alone, and at such a young age?

"Who is this person? He is so young, yet he has such a high level of cultivation. I have never heard of such an amazing person among the border troops!"

I have to say that the name of the border army is still useful.

With this badge, even if someone blocks your way, it won’t be too difficult.

Although Qi Hongwu's death had nothing to do with the powerful clans, they all knew that the border troops at this moment were like angry beasts, and whoever provoked them would die.

Especially since Marshal Yu has entered the heartland of Dachen, if nothing happens, it will be fine. But if something goes wrong, I am afraid that the other six marshals of Daqian will gather together, and even Your Majesty will have to lead the army in person.

By then, with nearly ten million Daqian border troops, who can stop them?

Not to mention that the powerful clans did not want to conflict with the imperial court, even if they had the strength to do so, they did not have the courage to do so.

After running for about a thousand miles, Jiang Lin felt his feet were empty. He looked down and saw that the soles of his shoes were worn out.

He threw his shoes away without thinking, and then changed into the new shoes given by Jiang Xiu, which fit his feet perfectly.

After looking at the map, it was still a long way off. Even with the cultivation level of the ninth level of Yuanwu Realm, it would take more than a day or two to get there.

Jiang Lin's eyes focused and he put away the map.

"We have to hurry up and get there earlier. Maybe we still have a chance! Brother Liao and his men are all fourth-rank soldiers in the entire battalion. They should be able to hold on for a while longer."

After taking several deep breaths and adjusting his breathing, Jiang Lin concentrated on his journey again.

Countless birds were startled along the way, and a large number of masters from powerful clans were also alarmed. They ran out and saw a burly figure with a border army badge hanging on his waist who was rushing on the road frantically. No one dared to stop him.

The closer the powerful clans are to the border, the more they fear the presence of border troops.

Traveling day and night, rushing as fast as possible with almost no time to rest, it took Jiang Lin five days and four nights to reach the border.

There are no fixed cities on the border of Daqian.

Because for more than four hundred years, it has been constantly expanding outward.

The originally built city became the hinterland in the back.

Therefore, every time a certain territory was expanded, a temporary city would be built for rest and recuperation.

The purpose of the border troops' existence is to conquer the outside world and expand the territory, not to defend the city.

Even if there were cities built by other dynasties, they would not occupy them for a long time.

The border troops that cannot advance outward have only one name internally: "waste."

To put it bluntly, they are all a bunch of warmongers.

However, this attack on Dachen and Daliang was of great importance, especially after Qi Hongwu's death, the border areas immediately gathered some troops into the temporary city to prevent Dachen and Daliang from taking advantage of the situation.

The person in charge of the affairs here now is General Ma Quanwu.

Jiang Lin was about to fly over the city but was stopped by someone.

A third-rank lieutenant general flew up and shouted, "Who are you? Come down!"

He could feel Jiang Lin's strength, but he was not afraid at all, and even drew his sword directly.

Facing the border troops, Jiang Lin had to be polite and showed his badge: "I, Jiang Lin, would like to enter Dachen to provide assistance. Please let me pass, sir."

"Jiang Lin?" The lieutenant general was slightly surprised and put away his knife. He asked curiously, "Are you the blacksmith who made weapons for the Nanling camp?"

The news that all the members of the Nanling camp were of the lowest fourth rank, and that even the lieutenant generals, commanders, and garrisons had been replaced by precious soldiers, had long been spread throughout the border troops.

Liao Mingxu never concealed the fact that it was a benefit given to him by his good brother Jiang Lin, which made this name quite famous in the border army today.

"You want to go to Dachen to provide assistance? Are you going to Fengluan City where the Nanling camp is located?" the lieutenant general asked. "Yes." Jiang Lin nodded.

The lieutenant immediately shook his head and said, "I advise you not to act rashly. There are hundreds of thousands of Dachen troops besieging there. You alone can't do anything. Even we dare not send troops rashly now."

Jiang Lin frowned. Is there still a time when the border troops dare not stand up?
The lieutenant general seemed to see through his thoughts and snorted, "It's not that we don't dare, but the remnants of Xuanhua Dao are now in Dachen, and Lord Qi was ambushed and killed by them. Marshal Yu has led the guards to catch those shady rats, and before leaving, he ordered us not to mess around. Otherwise, Dachen..."

Jiang Lin suddenly realized that Marshal Yu must be worried that if others attacked rashly, they would be ambushed like Qi Hongwu.

If we concentrate our forces, Dachen and Daliang might take advantage of the situation and invade the country again.

Although the border troops are powerful, Dachen and Daliang are not without the ability to fight.

It is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. If you know that someone has set a trap for you, you naturally cannot be stubborn and insist on falling into it.

Ordinary border troops can be brave and fearless, and they will go there even though they know there is a tiger there.

But as a general of the frontier army, he still has some rationality in comparison, just not too much...

Jiang Lin was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I already know about this, but I still want to go."

When the lieutenant general heard this, he laughed out loud: "Good boy, no wonder Liao Mingxu praises you every day, not bad, not bad, you really have the flavor of my border army. Don't blame me for being nosy, it would be a pity if you die like this with all your skills. So, let me go and report to the general."

Jiang Lin nodded, landed on the city wall and no longer tried to force his way through the checkpoint.

The lieutenant general then turned around, walked down the city wall, and quickly headed towards the general's tent.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at Jiang Lin with curiosity in their eyes.

They had heard of Jiang Lin's name. Was he the little blacksmith who could forge precious weapons at will?
This physique doesn't look like it, and he's too young.

But that level of cultivation is truly terrifying, how did he develop it?

These border soldiers were born today and die tomorrow, so they had nothing to hide and asked directly.

Although Jiang Lin was anxious, he still patiently responded one by one.

At this time, the lieutenant general had already entered the general's tent and bowed, saying, "Sir, the blacksmith Jiang Lin that Liao Mingxu mentioned is here now, and he said he would go to Fengluan City to provide assistance."

General Ma Quanwu, who was studying the military map with his hands behind his back, turned around and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Jiang Lin? How many people did he bring?"

"He's the only one."

Ma Quanwu didn't say anything, but a look of admiration appeared between his brows. He was indeed a guy that Lian Yushuai had mentioned, and he was indeed courageous enough.

Although Ma Quanwu also believed that no matter how powerful Jiang Lin was, he could not change the predicament of Fengluan City.

Until Marshal Yu catches those rats in Xuanhua Dao or finds the main forces of Dachen and Daliang, he can only stay where he is.

"Sir, this boy is a real man. I think we should let him go back," said the lieutenant general.

Although he recognized Jiang Lin, it was precisely because of this that he didn't want him to die in vain.

Enough people have died in the border troops over the years.

Ma Quanwu shook his head and said, "From the Foundry to here, it's thousands of miles away. Now that he's here, he won't leave easily. Even if you and I stop him here, we'll find another way around. We can stop a million troops, but how can we stop just one person?"

The lieutenant general couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Yes, the more people there are, the easier it is to stop them.

On the contrary, there is only one person like this who cannot be stopped.

Ma Quanwu pondered for a moment, then said, "Let him go."

The lieutenant general wanted to say something, but Ma Quanwu said, "Open the city gates and form a battle array."

Seeing the general's puzzled expression, Ma Quanwu snorted, "Even a blacksmith from the Ministry of Works dares to take the risk. Are our border troops really going to hide here? Tell that kid, if he goes there, he should make a big noise. If he can attract 100,000 enemy troops, I will give him a slap in the face. If he can attract a million, I will reward him with a fifth-rank official and a salary of a million silver!"

The lieutenant general was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that the general wanted to go fishing.

But how could Jiang Lin alone attract millions of enemy troops?
"I don't care." Ma Quanwu said unhappily, "If you pass through my territory, you have to abide by my rules."

The lieutenant general chuckled, bowed and left the tent.

Ma Quanwu turned around and continued to look at the huge map in front of him that was a hundred meters in size, muttering, "Is it about time for Yu Shuai to come back? I can't let him enjoy himself and let the brothers be bored. If I keep waiting like this, I'll grow hair all over my body."

The lieutenant general returned to the city wall, and Jiang Lin immediately looked up.

He chuckled and said, "Okay, I can let you go. But the general has told you that if you go, you have to make things bigger. Attracting 100,000 enemy troops will only give you a slap in the face as a warning. If you can attract a million enemy troops, you will be rewarded with a fifth-rank official and a salary of one million silver!"

Jiang Lin was slightly stunned. What kind of logic was this?
The lieutenant general came over and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and said, "So you can do it boldly. The bigger the commotion, the better. We have millions of border troops to support you. Even if the fucking king of heaven comes, we can kill him!"

The people around them suddenly became agitated and were extremely excited.

A million enemy troops? That would be a huge battle!

It’s so exciting to fight!
My sword is almost worn out!

Feeling the green eyes of the people around him, Jiang Lin couldn't help laughing.

Border troops...

That's what it tastes like.
