Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty One (2/2)

“It’s normal. Think about it, haven’t you seen that they don’t lack for people! If it wasn’t that there were too many people coming, why would they form a new battalion?”

“Ah, it really is frustrating. Did you see the factions nearby, all of them are jealous. I heard my brother say that they have sent people around to recruit people as well. Ha, even if you don’t make it, if you can pass the first round of selection, you don’t have to worry about finding your next job. If you can go through two rounds, there will be at least twenty places you can pick with good benefits!”

“Even the best cannot compare to Xiao Mo Ge’s battalion. He is so young and able, to even kill a marshal. His future is not something that these little factions can have. Maybe he can becoming king!”

“King? You are exaggerating … …”

Discussion of Xiao Mo Ge was everywhere in the hotel. As the hottest topic of discussion, there was new news about him everyday. Also, Xiao Mo Ge was just over twenty and had created such a string of miracles. His influence among the younger generation had reach a stunning level.

This was the age when people were most spirited and ambitious. A living role model motivated them.

No one noticed that, in the corner, the dim and muddy eyes of an old person suddenly flashed when he heard that Xiao Mo Ge had killed a marshal.

The old man was bald, his face full of wrinkles, his clothing in rags and looked very poor.

He finished drinking the poor wine before standing and walking out of the hotel.

He silently walked on the street. When the wind blew by, his figure looked desolate.

“Customer, customer, take a look! The newest mirages about the battle where Xiao Mo Ge killed Marshal Yu. Completely new mirages. Only here. Recorded by those present. You have to watch … …”

When the shouts of the store on the side entered the old man’s eyes, he stopped walking.

“How much?”

“Fifteen mobei!”

“Give me one.”

“Alright!”

The old man walked to the corner and played the mirage.

The store was not lying and it was a first hand recording. However, the recorder was not very powerful and the interference from the power released during the fight had been great so the image was not very clear.

The old man watched carefully.

When he saw Zuo Mo and Marshal Yu fight, light flashed across the dull eyes. At this time, the old man was like a vicious weapon with sharp edges and filled with a dangerous presence.

But he quickly noticed his change and recovered his previous state.

But when he saw A Gui, his body shook. Especially when the purple light in A Gui’s eyes flashed from within the mirage, the old man became motionless.

Two lines of hot tears suddenly rolled from his dull eyes.

The mirage in front of him shattered into dots of light without any warning.

“A sword xiu?”

A cold voice came from above the large hall and the commanders below shivered.

“Yes!” The person who spoke was prostrated on the ground and didn’t dare to move. His expression was terrified as large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. The drops made clear sounds as they hit the floor.

The commanders looked with sympathy at him.

“A sword xiu dares to move around on my territory. Ha!” The cold voice was emotionless as though it was narrating a simple thing.

The mo that was on the ground sweated even more. The other commanders also changed expression. Anyone could hear that Lord was angered!”

“Good, very good!”

The mo who was on the ground had an ashen face. He suddenly kowtowed furiously. Then he raised his blood-covered face and said with a trembling voice, “This subordinate is useless! I have disappointed Lord! This subordinate will pay for the crime with death and is not angry! This subordinate’s child is young. Lord, Brothers, please look after him!”

Finishing, his right hand suddenly hit his own head and his head shattered. His body fell to the floor lifelessly!

The commanders had expression of pain but no one dared to speak. It would be bad to ask for mercy at this time. Lord was brutal but he still cared about those that had been with him for along time.

As expected, the person in the hall was silent for moment before speaking. “Give a spot in the child camp this year to his son. Tell him not to shame the name of his father. Bury him with honors.”

“Yes!” The commanders acknowledged.

“I heard that sword xiu said that he did not fear any fight, yes?”

The commanders’ hearts shook and they looked at each other. They hadn’t thought that even this had reached the ears of their lord and they immediately knew it wasn’t good.

They knew Lord’s temper. He always wanted to be the best. Since the words the other had said reached Lord’s ears, Lord would not be able to tolerate this. If they continued to be silent, everyone was going to end up bad. They exchanged looks.

One battle general stood out and said, “This subordinate requests to fight!”

“This subordinate requests to fight!”

“This subordinate also requests to fight!”

The mo started to come out and request to fight.

“You are not allowed to use battalions. In my territory, I cannot lose face. And if you have to use battalions to deal with a single sword xiu…”

The cold voice echoed in the large hall. Everyone felt bitter inside. If they knew beforehand how the situation would devolve, then they would have already used battalions to already to kill this sword xiu. Then nothing would have happened.

But since Lord had said this, they couldn’t do anything.

“I give you five days. If you have not killed that sword xiu, you can end your own lives. You do not have to come see me.”

Everyone felt their scalp prickle. The corpse on the ground entered their view. Their expressions changed but they gritted their teeth and acknowledged. “Yes!”
