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

The seven or eight brothers behind the giant were also quite tough, and they followed him out from behind the boulder.

"kill!"

The two sides exchanged almost no words and immediately engaged in a fierce battle. In such a narrow passage, there was virtually no room for maneuver; it was a battle of ruthlessness and survival skills.

The first person to confront Li Tian was a young man in his early twenties, with a strong build. With a whoosh, he swung his long knife toward Li Tian's neck, a move clearly the result of years of hard work.

But battlefield combat is not a martial arts contest. Li Tian didn't even glance at him. He flicked his wrist, tossed the sword into his left hand, and easily blocked the attack. Then, he gently raised his right hand.

With a whoosh, a black short arrow pierced the man's chest. The man clutched his chest and began coughing up blood, having lost the ability to resist.

With a whoosh, the broadsword swung down again, severing most of the man's head.

Blood and brain matter splattered all over Li Tian.

With a single slash, Li Tian killed the man. His gaze then fell upon the most ferocious person in the arena, the one-eyed giant who was missing an eye.

For some reason, this person actually ended up going up against Zhao Yong!

Although he was missing an eye, his swordsmanship was fierce. With each strike, like hammering iron, Zhao Yong was forced to retreat repeatedly.

With three or four other young men ganging up on Zhao Yong, he was now in grave danger.

Li Tian walked towards the one-eyed giant, and along the way, three more young men attacked him.

Li Tian didn't hold back. When the sword came at him, Li Tian lowered his body, hoisted the sword onto his shoulder, and used a powerful upward thrust to knock the weapon out of the man's hand.

Then he slashed down with his broadsword, disemboweling the victim.

Two more people attacked Li Tian together. Li Tian raised his right foot and kicked them hard, sending them flying three or four meters away.

Immediately afterwards, the large sword in his hand slashed down from above his head.

He cleaved the remaining man in two, knife and all.

"You bastard! How dare you kill my brother!"

The bald, burly man finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a roar, he abandoned Zhao Yong and charged at Li Tian with his broadsword.

Instead of retreating, Li Tian advanced, slashing his blade diagonally, determined to meet the enemy head-on!

Bang!

Like a thunderbolt from the sky, the burly man was jolted back two steps, while Li Tian remained completely still.

Even so, Li Tian was secretly surprised. In terms of strength, few people on the battlefield could match him because of his vigorous and powerful physique.

This big man is quite something!

However, there is no chance to catch one's breath on the battlefield. Li Tian raised his broadsword and slashed at the man again with all his might.

His sword was forged with extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

How could ordinary weapons possibly stop it?

With a snap, Li Tian cleaved the weapon in the burly man's hand in two. Li Tian's blade struck the man's shoulder, and the man screamed in pain, falling to his knees on one knee.

However, Li Tian did not kill him. He drew his broadsword, tapped the giant's neck lightly with the back of the blade, and the man was easily knocked unconscious.

This person is skilled in combat, fierce and fearless, and incomparably brave!

Most importantly, they are extremely loyal. Even after most of their brothers were killed or wounded, they still fought desperately. Li Tian's subordinates are exactly the kind of people he needs!

Once this burly man was dealt with, the situation on the battlefield immediately became one-sided.

Four young men remained, struggling desperately, but how could they withstand the combined attack of Li Tian and Zhao Yong?

Before long, everyone was covered in bruises and lay sprawled on the ground.

The mountain wind howled, and Li Tian and Zhao Yong, working together, actually defeated seventeen or eighteen of Master Zhou's militia.

In fact, since the formation of Li Tian's squad, they have always won with fewer troops.

Li Tian planted his broadsword in the ground and shouted.

"I am Li Tian, ​​Corporal of Wolf Head Fortress. I don't care whose orders you are on to kill me. Now you only have two paths before you."

"First, go to Wolf Head Fortress now to register and become a lowly soldier under my command!"

"Secondly, now that I've chopped off your heads and treated you as spies, your heads will just add to our military merits!"

A rustling sound came from the ground, and the person who could still stand swayed as they approached Li Tian.

"Sergeant Li, is what you're saying true? Is it really possible to join the army at Wolf Head Fortress?"

"Yes!" Li Tian replied, "You all have sword and knife wounds all over your bodies. With some wound medicine, you can rest for ten days or so and still be able to go back to the battlefield to fight."

"Will I receive a salary?"

"Two taels a month!"

The young men looked at each other, not stupid. Li Tian had made it very clear: if they didn't join, they would die. They were being forced into this situation.

After discussing it amongst themselves, the group simultaneously knelt on one knee, declaring, "We are willing to follow Corporal Li!"

However, for Li Tian, ​​although these militia members were brave and fierce, they were not worthy of his attention. The only one he truly valued was the one-eyed giant.

Wolf Head Fortress is temporarily short of troops, and these few people are just an extra.

"Get up, everyone!"

Li Tian said calmly, "You know the direction of Wolf Head Fortress yourselves. Go there and report. There are guards there. When you get there, just say that I sent you to join the army, and someone will take care of you."

The group exchanged glances, then helped each other up and limped towards Wolf Head Fortress.

After the others left, Li Tiancai walked up to the bald, burly man, picked up the water bag, and splashed some water on the man's face.

The burly man jolted awake, his eyes snapping open. Seeing Li Tian right in front of him, he roared and struggled to his feet.

Li Tian reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder, and a tremendous force pressed the big man down.

"Don't move. Your injuries are serious. You need to rest for about ten days."

As Li Tian spoke, he took out a bottle of wound medicine and gently sprinkled some on the wound on the man's shoulder. Although the man grimaced in pain, he didn't say anything, but just stared blankly at Li Tian with his one eye.

Ancient wound medicines were mostly corrosive, but they worked quickly. Soon, a black scab formed on the wound on the man's shoulder, and the bleeding stopped.

The burly man continued to stare intently at Li Tian, ​​but the ferocity in his eyes had gradually faded, replaced by a hint of sincerity.

"Why don't you kill me?" the big man suddenly asked, his voice hoarse.

"The rebel army is short of men, especially brave warriors like you who dare to fight. I just want to ask if you are interested in joining the rebel army and working under me?" Li Tian said calmly.

"What will happen if I don't agree?" the one-eyed man asked.

Li Tian pointed to the corpses lying haphazardly not far away, "If you don't agree, you'll end up like them, killed by me and your bodies eaten by wild dogs."

The burly man lowered his eyes. It wasn't that he was afraid of death; in this chaotic era of war, people were dying every day.

I just feel that being eaten by wild dogs after death is too tragic.

As for hoping that Master Zhou would collect their corpses...

Don't even think about it.

If Master Zhou knew he was missing an eye, he might kick him out of the Zhou residence without even asking.

After all, disabled people have no value to us!

After much thought, it seemed that joining the rebel army was the only way out.

"Will we get enough to eat if we join the rebel army?" the one-eyed man asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, there's plenty of cornbread, and occasionally we can even have some dried meat."

The one-eyed man fell silent again. After a while, he suddenly raised his head. "Alright, I'll join your Wolf Head Fortress. My name is Sun Sheng!"
