People are selfish, especially in a cult like Twilight's Hammer, so don't expect much loyalty from these cultists who are just working for money and have no discipline to speak of.

Jadak was able to offer to send someone back to warn him was a sign of loyalty. As for the others...... Looking at the movements of a few of the cultists who had already touched the blades on their waists, they could guess that if Jadak dared to insist on sending someone back to his death, they would probably immediately burst out!

So Jadak wisely kept silent.

Murong Feng got up and patted the sand on his body, and ordered, "Assemble and go!" We will follow Lord Demetian's orders to establish a sentry base in the crater basin and contribute to the great cause of the Cult! ”

"Yes! My lord! Everyone responded in unison, and many even showed a knowing smile.

The team embarked on the journey again, and because they had taken the northern road to take a shortcut, they arrived at the Yamaguchi Valley Road before it got dark, and the twilight outpost that had been built here had long since become a ruin. But the insect corpses that had covered the place were gone, but the sea of sand as far as the eye could see had been dyed dark brown, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

This time, everyone was convinced of Murong Feng's words. Even the Zerg, the ruler of this desert, planted a big heel in front of the prehistoric Demon Tyrannosaurus King, and their manpower alone was not enough for that monster to stuff his teeth!

At this time, several scouts who were exploring the road first hurriedly ran back and reported: "My lord, the canyon passage ahead has been blocked by a boulder landslide. ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and all of them lost their attention. Because the road ahead is blocked, according to the regulations, there will be two options at this time: go home or wait for help. But now neither of these options is a good idea, and going home is purely to go back to death. And waiting for help on the spot is also helpless. Because the closest Twilight camp to here is the original Southwind Village. It's a pity that there is already a ruin.

"Your Excellency?" The people of the six gods and no masters cast their ardent eyes on Murong Feng.

Murong Feng groaned slightly. He ordered: "Our mission is to establish a guard post for the Divine Cult in the crater basin, so it is not within our scope of responsibility to open the mountain and clear the road. Jadak took someone to check the collapse in front of them and see if they could climb over it directly. "Fortunately, the entire team traveled lightly and did not carry any baggage, otherwise Murong Feng would have ordered to stay put.

"Yes, sir." Jadak immediately answered the order, and then quickly left the group with a leading team.

By the time Murong Feng led the large army to the canyon, the advance team led by Jax had already erected several cables that could be used for climbing at the landslide.

"Up. Work in groups of three and try to get through here into the basin before it gets dark. Murong Feng waved his hand and ordered. At the same time, I saw her tiptoe, and the whole person jumped into the air and jumped lightly onto the rock blocking the road, pretending to check the blockage in front of her. This inadvertently showed a hand, which made many people in the team immediately put away their strange thoughts.

In fact, Murong Feng did this to avoid people's eyes.

"What's the matter?" Murong Feng turned his back to everyone and lowered his head and whispered.

Lian'er poked out her little head and whispered, "Miss, the Thunder Blade has just sent news that the First Expeditionary Fleet of the Burning Legion has arrived in the crater basin. Please give us the next step. ”

Murong Feng took out the map and pointed to the southwest corner of the basin. He whispered to Lian'er: "Let him lead the fleet here, there is a very hidden hot spring valley here, which can be used as a secret base." There are also three NPCs here, who are their own. ”

"Understood, miss." Lian'er took note of the map, nodded, and retracted.

Murong Feng stared at the map, narrowed his eyes and stared for a moment, then turned back to Jadak and beckoned, "Jadak come here." ”

Jadak immediately climbed up to her and respectfully asked, "What do you command?" ”

Murong Feng spread out the map, pointed to the northern ridge of the crater and ordered: "I plan to set up a sentry here, and you pick two teams to explore the road first." ”

Jadak stared at the map and noted the location, nodded in response, "Yes, my lord." ”

Soon, Jadak led the two pathfinder teams that had climbed over the landslide first, and broke away from the main force and went deep into the jungle.

By the time the large army passed through the canyon, it was already getting late, so Murong Feng ordered the team to camp on the spot.

"Decree that the tent should be disguised with leaves and branches, and that there should be no fire or noise in the camp! Violators die! ”

"Yes, sir." The herald immediately conveyed Murong Feng's order.

You can't make a fire to make food, so you can only eat those hard jerky and drink cold water. Murong Feng's order immediately caused a lot of commotion, but no one dared to jump out and question it in person.

In his own separate tent, Murong Feng chose the idle mode and quit the game.

After having dinner with a group of girls, I was about to return to the game, but I received a call from my grandfather.

"Has Grandpa eaten it?" Murong Feng smiled.

Murong Xiong smiled and said, "Where are you going to play again, you can't be contacted for a few days." ”

Murong Feng smiled and said, "Grandpa, if you have something to do with me, just let Lian'er tell you no." ”

Murong Xiong shook his head and said with a smile: "It's grandpa who is confused, are you free now, come over and grandpa has something to tell you." ”

"Okay, I'll come right over." Murong Feng hung up the phone and immediately rode on Qingluan and flew to Murong Mansion.

After arriving at Murong Mansion, Murong Feng walked quickly to the courtyard where his grandfather lived, only to see several veterans drinking and chatting with the old man discussing the development plan of the Burning Legion.

Murong Feng greeted the veterans with a smile, and Murong Xiong beckoned Murong Feng to sit down beside him, and then handed her a piece of paper applying for an appointment.

Murong Feng took a look, couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyebrows, and asked, "Did he bring it up himself?" ”

Murong Xiong nodded approvingly: "This kid is good, he knows how to advance and retreat." Transfer him to the staff to train him well, and he may become a general in the future. ”

It was none other than Murong Feng's right-hand man Qin Meng who submitted this application for appointment. And he wrote in the application letter he submitted that he was only a small soldier, and he was fortunate to be appreciated by Murong Feng to be promoted to the supreme commander of the Burning Legion, but as the Burning Legion grew stronger, he gradually felt that his ability was a little insufficient. Therefore, he offered to step down from the post of commander of the Burning Legion. and applied to be transferred to the General Staff to study with a group of veterans. to improve their command skills.

Murong Feng pinched the paper and thought of more. At present, the two people that Murong Feng relies on the most in the game are Lin Lin and Qin Meng. One helps her take care of Fengqi Tower, and the other controls the Burning Legion. However, as there is an emotional entanglement between the two, then one of the two must make sacrifices.

Lin Lin, who has been in the business sea for more than ten years, is obviously a very smart woman, so she told Murong Feng about it as soon as the two established their relationship. I have to say that this is a very wise move, if this matter is told to her by the ears and eyes installed in the interior of Fengqi Tower through Lian'er, then the nature will be serious!

After all, with the current identities of the two of them and the power in their hands, if they were combined, they might threaten Murong Feng's right to rule Fengqi Tower, which was something that no one in the upper echelons would tolerate happening. No matter how generous Murong Feng is, he will not be stupid enough to keep the two of them by his side and reuse them. Therefore, Lin Lin's confession made a very wise choice for herself and Qin Meng.

And Murong Feng's current application for appointment was obviously submitted by Qin Meng at the behest of Lin Lin. Because Murong Feng didn't believe that Qin Meng, who had zero political IQ, could make such a wise choice to protect himself so quickly. Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have been so miserable before, and he was cuckolded.

"This guy doesn't know the blessings he has cultivated in several lifetimes, which can make Lin Lin look at it." Murong Feng chuckled, in fact, she already had a plan in her heart for Qin Meng's whereabouts, and now Qin Meng's initiative to abdicate and make Xian undoubtedly a happy situation. Although Murong Feng believed that Lin Lin and Qin Meng would never betray him, and Murong Feng also believed that no one could empty himself with his prestige and means, but as the saying goes, prevention is better than prevention, and some things should be extinguished immediately when they appear, leaving no room for growth. How did you get to the throne of Song Taizu?

"Accurate!" Murong Feng signed his name in this order, and then returned it to his grandfather. asked with a smile: "Grandpa specially called Xiao Feng'er here, presumably there must be a candidate for the new head of the regiment, right?" ”

"I can't hide it from you, a ghost elf." Murong Xiong laughed, took out another list and handed it to Murong Feng.

Murong Feng took a look. In the first place is the current deputy commander of the Burning Legion, Shadow Blade, the second candidate is the commander of the Legion Air Force, Thunder Blade, and behind are the commanders of all levels arranged according to their ranks.

The military is a place that pays great attention to seniority, and often the more seniority you have, the more opportunities you can get for promotion. Therefore, the commanders at all levels behind the two are basically soy sauce characters. In fact, the only candidates who really participated in the competition for the position of Legion Commander were Shadow Blade and Thunder Blade.

"Who does Grandpa like?" Murong Feng did not express his position immediately, but first asked his grandfather's opinion. Basically, Murong Xiong's opinion represents the meaning of the veterans. And Murong Feng now has to rely on these old men to withstand the pressure from which big families, so he naturally has to make an open-minded gesture to win the favor of the veterans.

Murong Feng's afterglow caught a glimpse of when he opened his mouth to humbly ask his grandfather for advice, several veterans next to him showed a pleased smile.

But seeing Murong Xiong staring at Murong Feng meaningfully for a moment, he smiled and said, "You can just make your own decisions about this matter, and I won't mix it with my grandfather." Obviously, my grandfather is also well versed in this, and he knows that there are some things that he can't interfere with, otherwise it will affect Murong Feng's absolute authority in Fengqi Tower.

Murong Feng stopped acting when he saw that the effect had been achieved, and after staring at the list for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Then promote the Shadow Blade to the rank of legion." ”

Thunder Blade is already the commander of the Air Force, if he is promoted to the supreme commander of the Burning Legion, then he must first give up the position of commander of the Air Force, which will undoubtedly involve new personnel transfers and power transfers, especially when Qin Meng has just stepped down, which is very detrimental to the stability of the army. Therefore, directly promoting the second-in-command Shadow Blade can not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also leave others with nothing to say. As for the Thunder Blade, I'm afraid this kid is still reluctant to take the position of commander of the Air Force.

Murong Feng signed the promotion order of the Shadow Blade and handed it to his grandfather to execute, and then chatted with several old men for a while, then asked for his resignation, left Murong Mansion, and returned to Swallow Dock.

***

When I re-logged into the game, it was raining lightly outside, rattling on the leaves.

Murong Feng found that he had changed back into a little Lori, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head again and again. Putting on his cloak and getting out of the tent, he looked into the basin and saw nothing but devastation and muddy water. However, the smoke and dust that permeated the sky and the earth had basically dissipated under the fierce wind and rain for several days, and the clear night sky was re-revealed.

Strange to say, there is a light rain in the sky, but you can see the clear starry sky, and I don't know where the rain is coming from the wind. But after all, this is the world of the game, and everything must not be measured by common sense.

Murong Feng pulled his hood and walked into the rain curtain to inspect the camp, and saw that everyone followed her orders and did not make a fire to warm up and make a loud noise, so he nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, a guard in charge of vigilance led a scout who accompanied Jadak to explore the path first and walked quickly to Murong Feng's side, and saw the scout kneeling down and reported: "My lord, Lord Jadak accidentally found something when he was ordered to go to the Northland Mountains to investigate!" ”

"Oh? What is it? Murong Feng asked curiously.

The scout pulled out a red energy crystal from his bag and a secret letter.

Murong Feng took two things, and she naturally recognized this energy crystal, because she still had a full bag in her bag.

After opening the secret letter with a secret method and reading it, a trace of surprise flashed on Murong Feng's face, and he asked the scout in a deep voice, "Is this serious?" ”

The scout immediately replied: "Lord Hui, this matter is true, the villain has seen it with his own eyes. Lord Jadak ordered the villain to report to you quickly, and I hope that you will make a decision as soon as possible! ”

"How far is that place?" Murong Feng asked again.

The scout replied, "About seventy miles!" ”

"Good!" Murong Feng immediately ordered: "Gather the camp and prepare to go!" ”

Soon the party regrouped, and the large army set out overnight, led by the scout.

At the middle of the moon, Murong Feng led a large army to finally arrive at the meeting place and saw Jadak with a face covered in mud.

"Your Excellency!" Jadak bowed down and reported: "My subordinates followed your instructions to explore the way here and accidentally discovered a cave full of four-colored crystals. The subordinates don't know what this is, so they are specially appointed to return to you as soon as possible. ”

"Rest in place." Murong Feng gave the team an order to rest, and then said to him, "Take me to take a look!" ”

Jadak said with a sad face: "My lord, I'm afraid this won't work. ”

"Why?" Murong Feng raised his eyebrows and asked.

Jadak smiled bitterly: "The villain was about to collect some crystals for research after discovering the cave, but suddenly a group of stone guards jumped out of nowhere and launched an attack on us. Although those stone guards were only fifth-order elemental creatures, they were all extremely powerful, and all of them had invulnerable spell protectors such as petrified skin. The subordinates and others were not opponents, so they had to retreat. ”

Murong Feng looked up at a mountain path that winded up and asked, "Is that cave full of crystals on it?" ”

"Yes!" Jadak replied.

Murong Feng couldn't help but groan secretly, it was another cave full of crystals, could it be that these crystals were rotten things?

"You stay here, I'll go up and have a look!" Murong Feng ordered.

Jadak hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "My lord, will my subordinates go with you?" ”

"No, you stay." Murong Feng took off directly in front of everyone and took off into the air.

Jadak's mouth was wide open, unable to close it for a long time.

After Murong Feng flew into the air, he found a glowing cave, and even the entrance of the cave was covered with four-colored energy crystals, and a group of stone elemental guards more than three meters tall were wandering outside the cave.
