The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

"Brother Tian, ​​why isn't it our turn yet? If this keeps up, all the good missions will be snatched up by others!"

On the drill ground,

in the crowd,

As the paper balls in the iron pot dwindled and most people had already received their tasks, Li Tian's men grew impatient.

"Don't worry, there's still a little bit left. It'll be our turn soon!" Li Tian said calmly.

"Chen Cong!"

"Shang Yong!"

"Li Qixiong!"

……

The tasks are still being distributed.

The number of crumpled paper balls continued to decrease.

There were only four or five crumpled pieces of paper left in the iron pot, but Li Tian's name still hadn't been called.

Li Tian couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

What's going on?

Something seems off about what's going on today.

Just as Li Tian was lost in thought, he suddenly heard someone call out, "Li Tian!"

"arrive!"

Li Tianxia subconsciously took a step forward, looked up, and was immediately dumbfounded.

There was only a crumpled piece of paper left in the iron pot.

White!

Li Tian and his brothers breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was white, which meant the mission wasn't too dangerous.

Li Tian quickly stepped forward, unfolded the crumpled paper, and froze on the spot.

The crumpled paper had several large characters written on it—Wolf Head Castle!

Li Tian never expected that this most dangerous task would fall on his shoulders. Subconsciously, he felt that there was something fishy about this, so he looked up at the high platform.

Zuo Lianfeng ignored him, looking down at a book in his hand.

The generals behind him also looked ahead, their faces calm.

Only Chen Xinchang, standing at the very end of the ranks, wore a gloating expression and mouthed two words to Li Tian: "Serves you right!"

"Damn it!"

In that instant,

Li Tian understood everything. He cursed inwardly and returned to his group with the crumpled paper in his hand.

"Sergeant, how's it going? Where have we been assigned?"

As soon as he returned to the group, his five brothers from the same unit surrounded him, eagerly asking questions.

"Wolf Head Fortress!" Li Tian shouted helplessly.

brush!

The faces of the new recruits all changed.

Wolf Head Castle!

My goodness!

Why were we assigned to Wolf's Head Fortress?!

That's a place where people die. Nobody can live for more than a month; it's a place to die.

"Sergeant, could you talk to one of the other sergeants and ask them to switch our mission?" Zhao Sixi said with a bitter face.

Li Tian rolled his eyes. Who would want to take on such a dangerous mission?

"Sergeant, aren't you on good terms with Centurion Tie Niu? Go and put in a good word for us with him and ask him to change our mission."

"None of the brothers want to die!" Wu Laoliu said pitifully.

Li Tian sighed, "Military orders are hard to obey, especially since we're on a mission with a slim chance of survival. No one is willing to trade places with us."

"Cheer up, everyone."

"Even if we go to Wolf's Head Fortress, we might not necessarily die."

"But if we disobey orders, we'll die right now!"

Li Tian could only encourage his brothers in this way, but it didn't work well, and everyone in the squad was dejected.

"Brother, where has your squad been assigned?"

At this moment, a squad leader next to Li Tian leaned over and asked.

"Wolf Head Fortress!" Li Tian said coldly.

"Huh! Ah?" The sergeant's expression changed drastically instantly, unsure of what to say. Finally, he chuckled awkwardly, "Your luck... is truly remarkable!"

Then, he immediately shrank back to his own group.

However, the way they looked at Li Tian and his group changed; it was the look of someone looking at a dead person.

Soon, the news that Li Tian's squad had been assigned to Wolf Head Fortress spread among the new recruits, who all looked at Li Tian and his group with sympathy.

It seems they are already dead.

After all, no one can survive a month in that godforsaken place.

"Alright, brothers, the missions have been assigned. Go back and prepare. Tomorrow, a veteran will take you to the mission territory to hand over duties with the veterans from your original garrison. You can stay in your garrisons for the next six months without worry!"

"We have a half-day off today. There will be no training this afternoon. Everyone can go and buy some daily necessities."

After assigning tasks, the officer who had called out the rolls spoke in a gruff voice and then announced that the party was dismissed.

The new recruits dispersed in a flurry, but Li Tian and his group remained sullen, and the gloom lingered even after they returned to camp.

"Sergeant, what do you think would happen if I ran away from the barracks now?" Wu Laoliu suddenly asked after they got back.

"Deserter?" Li Tian was taken aback. "Deserters are executed according to the law, and you can't escape the army camp."

Upon hearing this, the new recruits fell silent and began packing their belongings in silence.

"Brother Li Tian, ​​where have you been assigned?"

Just then, a hearty laugh came from outside the tent, and Tie Niu strode in.

"Wolfhead Fortress!"

When Tie Niu heard that Li Tian's squad had been assigned to Wolf Head Fortress, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and he scratched his head.

"How did I end up in this godforsaken place?"

At this moment, Tie Niu felt a bit of sympathy for Li Tian and the others.

However, Tie Niu was a veteran of many battles and had long since become indifferent to life and death. He was only stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Wolf Head Fortress isn't so bad either; it's high in the mountains and far from the emperor, more than seventy miles away from the military camp."

"There are four villages near Wolf Head Fortress. If you need supplies, you can go to the villages to collect them."

"By the way, brother, when are you planning to head to Wolf Head Fortress? I'm free today, so I can be your guide."

Li Tian looked up at the sky outside, estimated the time, and said, "Wolf Head Fortress is seventy miles from here. If we travel now, we should be able to get there before dark."

"Why don't we set off now?"

"So soon?" Tie Niu was taken aback again. "Aren't you going to say goodbye to General Chen?"

"We already said goodbye last night!" Li Tian said.

Hearing that Li Tian was leaving today, his brothers were stunned for a moment, but then they saw that Li Tian had already packed his luggage and started to walk out.

These people had no choice but to pack their luggage and silently follow Li Tian out.

New recruits do not have horses.

Although Tie Niu has a horse.

But there were six people in this group.

Therefore, everyone had to walk.

By the time we reached Wolf Head Fortress, it was already pitch black and the moon was high in the sky.

In the deep darkness of the night, an earthen fortress came into view of Li Tian and his companions. The fortress was built on a cliff with a suspension bridge hanging above it, making it seem easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the darkness of night, there was a bonfire, as if someone was cooking in the dark.

Tie Niu stopped his horse and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Are the brothers at Wolf Head Fortress here? I am Tie Niu, centurion of the Right Army of the Loyal Army. I have brought my brothers to relieve the troops. Quickly lower the drawbridge."

Torches were lit up above, and from a distance, a man wearing leather armor and carrying a large bow walked to the drawbridge, raised his hand to shine the light down, and shouted.

"It really is Centurion Iron Bull! Wait here, I'll lower the drawbridge right away!"

Crunch!Crunch!

With the sound of the wheel turning, the suspension bridge slowly lowered.
