Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 812 - 748: Deputy Chief Zhang, do you want to hear what you are saying?
Zhang San took the Three Lizard Brothers to Julong Pass and then instructed the officers of the Town Demon Office under his command to return to their respective outposts.
He then summoned Wang Ziteng from the backdoor outpost to Julong Pass.
In the previous battle, Zhang San had to rescue the families of three intelligence officers.
For the rescue operation, Wang Ziteng was put in charge.
Once the officers’ families were rescued, they returned first to the backdoor outpost.
So Zhang San knew that Wang Ziteng was currently at the backdoor outpost.
Meanwhile, at Julong Pass, Li Shangfa was polishing the tip of his lance.
"General, we’ve been guarding Julong Pass while there are so many troops stationed along Longyun Path, and we haven’t fought any battles!"
Li Shangfa smiled when he saw it was a young recruit, barely fifteen or sixteen, who had spoken.
"You little rascal, you don’t know how lucky you are. As soldiers when there are no battles, you can better hone your skills and practice your abilities. Isn’t that great! If you’re not prepared and the enemy attacks, then it’ll be troublesome!"
The new recruit pouted and whispered, "But General, I want to earn merits! With merits, I can get rewards, and with rewards, I can go back and marry Gui Fen from our village!"
Everyone knew that this recruit joined the army hoping to make something of himself and then return to marry Gui Fen.
So upon hearing this, they all burst into laughter.
Li Shangfa also laughed and said, "Then you must improve your skills well. Don’t let any demon clan get close to Julong Pass, only to find you can’t defeat them!"
The new recruit patted his chest, stood up, and said solemnly, "Impossible! No matter what kind of demon clan it is, as long as they dare to approach Julong Pass, it’ll be my merit. I must..."
Dong—
Dong—
Dong—
Suddenly, the alarm bell rang.
Immediately, some martial artists from the army ran towards the alert platform where the alarm bell was located, took a look at the formation under the bell, and shouted in shock to Li Shangfa, who was watching below with a tense expression: "General, demon clan approaching Julong Pass!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shangfa’s brows furrowed.
Originally, this alarm bell at Julong Pass was not supposed to be constantly on.
But because the people from the Town Demon Office recently used special means to secretly allow three great demons to pass through Julong Pass...
He got a scolding from his superior.
However, given Li Shangfa’s ability, even if he discovered that three great demons were entering the Great Sui, he couldn’t stop them, so he was only scolded and not punished.
For this reason, the magical treasure alarm bell on the alert platform at Julong Pass kept being in the active state.
"How strong and how many?"
As Li Shangfa shouted, he waved, signaling the soldiers at Julong Pass to start assembling.
"Re—returning to the general... there are three... three..."
Hearing this, Li Shangfa breathed a sigh of relief.
Only three, huh!
That’s good.
Then, Li Shangfa shouted to the new recruit beside him, "Just three demon clans, do you want to accompany this general to subdue the demons and exorcise evil later?"
"General! Three demon clans, I request one for myself!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shangfa couldn’t help but laugh heartily and then asked the martial artist on the alert platform, "What are the strengths of those three demon clans? If it’s really difficult, I’ll divide one for this kid. Let him have a taste! Hahaha..."
"Reporting to the General! From... from the formation diagram under the alarm bell, two are supreme demons, and one is just a great demon, but the strength shown in the formation is even brighter than one of the great demons!"
At that moment, the happy expression on Li Shangfa’s face instantly froze.
And the new recruit beside him widened his eyes, and his legs started shaking.
Although his legs were trembling, he still gritted his teeth with determination and said, "General! I... I can... can do it! Give me... me one!"
Li Shangfa realized that even if this new recruit were to die in the future, he must take this mouth of his and embed it on his long lance!
Tough!
Too tough!
Li Shangfa immediately mobilized his soldiers and even prepared to send a distress signal to the Town Demon Office.
After all, there’s two supreme demons and one even superior to a supreme demon.
This scale is comparable to the battle prowess of All Things Path during the great battle of Red Dust Immortal on the Imperial Path!
Yet, when he looked toward the vast plains west of Julong Pass, he realized that indeed a group was approaching.
But then he looked carefully again, and didn’t it seem to be Zhang San and the others?
Li Shangfa quickly rode out of Julong Pass with the stubborn recruit to inquire.
When Zhang San saw Li Shangfa coming to greet him, he immediately waved warmly.
"Deputy Chief Zhang, are you coming this time with demons accompanying you? Or were you followed by demon clans?"
Zhang San didn’t know what Li Shangfa meant, but guessed it might be related to the demon clans he was with, and quickly explained.
"General Li, this is Hu, who came with me before, my friend. Now he is one of the Twelve Superior Demons of All Things Path."
Hearing Zhang San’s introduction, Li Shangfa breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this should be one of his demons. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"This is the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums, whom you’ve met before, also a demon, transformed. On our side."
Li Shangfa figured this might be that position great demon, but stronger than a supreme demon.
"These three are the Three Lizard Brothers, one of the Twelve Superior Demons of All Things Path!"
Li Shangfa had heard of these three, being the weakest among the Twelve Superior Demons.
Even the stubborn little soldier behind them knew about these three.
After all, almost everyone who came to Longyou Road to join the army fantasized about running into these three defenseless lizards when they went to the latrine at night and cutting them down to achieve the feat of slaying superior demons and rise swiftly through the ranks.
"So Deputy Chief Zhang, what’s the purpose of inviting them?"
Zhang San explained to Li Shangfa, "My purpose in coming to Longyou Road is to promote cooperation between All Things Path and our Great Sui. This is the first step. The Three Lizard Brothers are here to help. I intend to make them the guardian gods of your army."
"Hmm!?"
At this moment, Li Shangfa was shocked, as if Zhang San was taking him for a fool.
Zhang San immediately explained, "The three of them are superior demons, with tremendous combat power. Moreover, as long as you all believe in them, think they’re strong enough to protect every soldier, then your soldiers can be blessed!"
Li Shangfa leaned towards Zhang San’s ear and whispered, "Deputy Chief Zhang, I respect you a lot. But would you listen to what you’re saying? The Three Lizard Brothers are notoriously powerless in Longyou Road. Asking us to believe they can protect my soldiers is like me believing you’re the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Punishment Sect!"
Hmm!?
Zhang San took a while to react and finally understood. Apparently, the news of him being the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Punishment Sect hadn’t reached Longyou Road yet.
Thus, people like Li Shangfa, who favored Legalism, wouldn’t know about it.
"General Li, believe me! This matter is only beneficial to the garrison of Julong Pass and you, without any downsides!"
Li Shangfa looked embarrassed, considering how to decline.
But just then, as he had just entered Julong Pass, he was suddenly reported by his subordinates.
"Reporting to the General, over a hundred martial artists have come from the east, nearly a third of them are strong in the Spiritual Platform Realm, and they say they specifically want to see you!"
"Ah!?"
