After finishing the most peaceful and reassuring dinner in recent times, I rejected all invitations and gifts from ministers and generals. After leading the team to inspect the defense of the Survivor Valley, I dispersed everyone and went alone to a valley between the Survivor Valley and the Survivor gathering place.
"Who are you? Stop and be inspected, or you will be killed without mercy..." As I approached the valley, I couldn't even see the slightest bit of the situation inside the valley. A few low and threatening words made me pull the reins and stop the horse involuntarily. I subconsciously held several magic scrolls in my left hand, and my right hand also approached the long sword that others always thought I used for show.
"Which part are you from? Do you know Shen Qiang?" I didn't dare to move before the other party made any specific moves. After all, if the other party was the Dragon Legion that I had never seen before, then if I had any problems with them before revealing my identity, I would definitely be the one who would be in trouble in the end.
"Shen Qiang? Who are you? What are you doing here? What do you want to see Shen Qiang for?" After hearing what I said, four soldiers slowly emerged from the woods on my left and right. But with their appearance, I suddenly felt relieved. I dare not say anything else, but based on the equipment they were wearing, I was more than 80% sure of their identities.
At the same time, I immediately realized that there were at least 6 warriors in front and behind the place where they just came out, and not far away, there were at least more than 10 crossbows and no less than 10 mages aiming magic at me.
"I am Shen Xiang, the leader of the Demon Dragon Legion. If you don't know me, then call Shen Qiang out immediately..." After basically confirming it, I stopped playing tricks with them and directly reported my identity. After all, this is the place where Shen Qiang and I agreed to meet at the mouth of the valley. If there are other forces at this location, it would be really weird.
"Shen Xiang? Our legion commander..." In an instant, the four soldiers present took a step back at the same time, and then after looking at each other, one of them walked towards me, while the other went towards the direction of the canyon.
"Sir, please show me the token... If I have offended you in any way just now, please forgive me..." Without any sign of being reserved or relaxed, the soldier approached me and the first thing he did was to ask me for proof. After seeing the token, the soldier immediately apologized to me without saying a word, but still had no intention of letting me enter the valley.
At this moment, several figures came flying from the valley entrance. When I got closer, I saw that it was not Shen Qiang as I thought, but the soldier who went to report the news and a magician who came with him.
After some whispers, the magician carefully took out a crystal ball from his magic space, and then a clear three-dimensional human figure appeared in front of everyone.
"The 27th patrol team of the Dragon Legion greets you!" After some identification, the five members of the Dragon Legion present all half-knelt down, but everyone's face was a little cautious. And from what I know, the warriors hiding in the woods still have no intention of coming out. Not bad, really good... I didn't expect them to be so meticulous in executing these most basic rules I wrote, which is really precious.
"Well, let's go! You lead the way, and the rest of you should go back to your posts with the other soldiers!" As I said that, I pointed at a soldier and ran into the valley first.
Along the way, I followed the soldier silently. Every time I passed a sentry post, I could clearly feel the vigilant eyes cast at me in many dark places. Although I didn't see them, I still found their positions one by one through my spiritual perception, which I don't know if it can still be considered human.
In just less than 200 meters, I passed 3 sentries and even found more than 10 secret sentries. But I don't think these discoveries are all, maybe there are more soldiers hidden in some places I can't feel.
"Sir, it's really you... I am Shen Qiang, with the members of the Dragon Legion, to see the Legion Commander!" When we passed the third sentry post, several figures on the way had already discovered my presence using the lights at the sentry post. So, this soldier who was transferred from the 6th Division of the Flame Legion to the Kingdom of Yan excitedly rushed up with his subordinates.
After a round of greetings, I was welcomed in by Shen Qiang and several other senior officers. As they went deeper into the military camp, I could feel that the defenses in all aspects were gradually strengthened. Even in the innermost layer, I vaguely discovered the existence of many magic traps. This... Can this still be called a temporary camp of a legion? It seems that even the Queen of the Kingdom of Yan may not have such a grand show in her temporary stay, right
"Well done, very well done! Victor, you guys have done a really good job running the camp... If someone dares to attack now, I'm afraid they will be seriously injured before they can even break into the camp..." Surrounded by the crowd, I sat down in a temporary military tent. After drinking a sip of tea, I called over the mage Victor, who was appointed by Queen Yan herself but asked to report directly to me, and praised him.
"My lord, I dare not take credit for it. Everything that is happening before your eyes was done by Mr. Shen Qiang. From the organization of our army to the deployment of troops, it was all done by Mr. Shen Qiang and several gentlemen he brought with him that made such an achievement. If I had not been in the army all this time, and if I were asked to review this army now, I am afraid I would no longer dare to believe that the troops in front of me are the elites that I personally selected from garrisons across the country... No, compared with now, before, let alone the elites, they were even inferior to the most ordinary civilians. My lord, this is a miracle, a real miracle! Talents like Mr. Shen Qiang are priceless!" After hearing what I said, Victor was extremely terrified. After waving his hands repeatedly, he quickly told me the situation in detail, with no intention of taking the credit for himself.
"No, I don't dare to take credit for it. If it weren't for your cultivation of me in the past, I would still be a slave now and couldn't be said to have achieved anything..." After listening to Victor's words, Shen Qiang's face was full of memories of the past.
"Don't make excuses. I will reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. This is my consistent attitude. I will write down all of this now. When we return victorious, I will give everyone a satisfactory reward. And now is the time for us to achieve merit. Those orcs who invaded human society are our target. Tomorrow, those damn things will advance to the Valley of the Demise. So let our Dragon Legion achieve glory!"
"The dragon is invincible!"
