Ji Thrush and his party of six led more than 10,000 zombie soldiers to the front line where the two armies were fighting.
It has been more than a month since Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo entered this "world".
During this month, the battle situation on the front line has gradually changed.
The entire land of China was completely involved in the flames of war.
From the dominant cultivator's family to the most ordinary peasants in the countryside, they all stood up when the race was in danger, took up arms, and joined the anti-Japanese team regardless of life or death.
The flags of resistance have sprung up in the enemy-occupied areas. With the continuous filling of volunteers from all over the country, the resistance army with the imperial court at its core is also growing day by day.
Those cultivators with strange skills no longer stick to their sects, and when they confronted the invaders, they sacrificed their ancestral magic weapons and used their housekeeping skills.
With them standing on the front line and competing with the inhuman power of the Holy Court, when ordinary soldiers fought against the knights blessed by the Holy Light, they were finally no longer suppressed everywhere and could display their due combat effectiveness.
On the contrary, the Holy Court army came from thousands of miles across the sea, whether it was the replenishment of soldiers, or the supply of weapons and food, would be restricted by the expedition.
In addition, it is now the sea monsoon season on the southeast coast, the wind is high and the waves are rough, and the hydrology is complicated, which is really not suitable for long-distance voyages, which increases the difficulty of replenishment.
The Eastern Expedition plan of the Holy Court Army has been prepared for nearly a hundred years.
They have prepared the most powerful troops and the most sufficient resources, and the army is overwhelming. They planned to sweep the Eastern Continent within three months, at most half a year, and dedicate the rich and fertile land of gold to them. the Holy Lord, making it the true kingdom of heaven after the coming of the Holy See.
But I didn't expect that these heretics who occupied the land bestowed by the gods were more difficult than they imagined.
The lambs, who were so fragile at the beginning, were like layers of fine sand, absorbing the impact of the waves wave after wave, blocking the advance of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
More than nine months have passed, and the Holy Court Army has only managed to occupy half of the country, which is still far from their goal of capturing the entire territory.
Holy Court inevitably felt anxious.
On the one hand, the progress of the battle on the front line is far less than expected. On the other hand, the backyards of the captured areas are on fire everywhere.
More importantly, the Advent of the Holy See is just around the corner. If we can't defeat the main force of the Resistance Army before then...
Under heavy worries, the Holy Court Army could no longer allocate more manpower to clean up the resistance forces in various places. They almost suppressed all the most elite and powerful combat forces on the south bank of the Huanghe River.
The battle situation on the front line became more and more tense, and the two armies launched offensive and defensive along the river, and the surging river swallowed up countless lives.
Under such circumstances, when Ji Thrush and the others led tens of thousands of soldiers across the enemy-occupied area, it was much easier than they originally expected.
Zhuzi, who has been running a business for many years, is familiar with the terrain of this area. He did not lead the crowd to the most heavily fortified official roads and major cities, but made an S-shaped circle around the outer circle, crossing mountains and ridges, walking through villages and towns, while cleaning up the roads along the way. The garrison rushed towards the main garrison of the imperial army on the north bank.
Fifteen days passed in a flash.
Over the past few days, the ghost army of Ji Thrush and others has already made a name for themselves in ten miles and eight villages.
They are like a group of haunting ghosts, always appearing suddenly when the defenders are ignorant, sweeping past like a whirlwind, killing them without leaving any armor, and then disappearing quickly before the reinforcements arrive, quietly going around the enemy's rear, coming A perfect break.
Now Ji Thrush and his party are still about a hundred miles away from a small crossing of the Huanghe River. As long as they cross the river smoothly, it is estimated that they will be able to join General Su's garrison in two days, at most three days.
Compared with when they first left the imperial mausoleum, Ji Thrush's team has expanded a little these days.
A total of one hundred and twenty-eight people joined in. They came from different sects or cultivation families. They were strong or weak, but they were all patriots who were determined to sacrifice their lives to serve the country and expel the western barbarians.
Some of them came here after hearing about the reputation of ghost soldiers killing the enemy, and some just happened to meet them. However, since everyone has the same goal and destination, it will be more helpful to go on the road together.
On this day, this army of 10,000 people walked through a forest until it was completely dark before finding a suitable mountain for camping.
Zombies and ghosts didn't need to light a fire. They stood guard on the outside of the camp, guarding the hundreds of living people inside.
They walked a full sixty or seventy miles that day. Except for the tireless living corpses, everyone in the team was extremely tired, and some of them were weaker, and they could fall asleep directly after eating dry food.
Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo were sitting by a small bonfire, eating dinner, and at the same time leisurely boiled water in clay pots to make tea.
The water boiled, Ji Xiaoniao put a handful of tea leaves in the thermos, poured hot water, covered the filter, took a small sip carefully, narrowed her eyes, showing a satisfied expression, He handed the cup to Ren Jianmo as if offering a treasure.
"Try it, the tea brewed with mountain spring water tastes really sweet!"
Ren Jianmo took the cup and sipped slowly.
After drinking half a cup of tea, Ren Jianmo reciprocated, took out a sandwich from his "One Cubic Meter of Freedom", and handed it to Ji Thrush.
In fact, Ren Jianmo prepared a lot of food when he came to this SS level difficulty "world" this time, but they were all military dry food, definitely not including sandwiches or sandwiches and other exquisite buns.
So what he took out was actually Ji Thrush's stuff.
At that time, in order to put the two electric mirrors into the ring, Ji Xiaoniao had to empty out everything inside, trying to expand the capacity of the mustard space as much as possible.
When Ji thrush took out all his food, the second young master of the Dong family was the happiest one.
Dong Jing has been coveting these exquisite and delicious food for a long time, but Ji Thrush is very stingy, except for Ren Jianmo and Yi Lianna, he is not even willing to give him a bite.
Now Dong Jing sees that Ji Thrush has no place to put these food and drinks, so he pretends that he can keep them for him, and only needs to pay a little "rent".
But Ren Jianmo didn't let the second young master of the Dong family do what he wanted.
He calmly swept all the things Ji Xiaoniao cleaned up into his storage space, and naturally took charge of the other's daily life and diet from then on.
Ji Thrush was a little surprised at first, but he quickly realized that this was a great opportunity to get closer to the relationship between the two, and he was so beautiful that he almost jumped up on the spot and turned around a few times.
In fact, Ji Thrush could clearly feel that Ren Jianmo's attitude towards him had unconsciously and obviously changed.
Ren Jianmo no longer rejects his approach, and no longer ignores him, and even acquiesces in some intimate physical contact.
Ji Thrush often secretly holds the hand of Ren Damei in his family when no one is paying attention.
And Ren Jianmo's reaction was also very interesting. His fingers stiffened a little at first, then slowly relaxed, and then, as if after a struggle, they lifted slightly, and they clasped with Ji Xiaoniao's five fingers.
At this time, Ji Thrush's heart was as sweet as honey.
He often wondered if Ren Jianmo had remembered the six months he had forgotten.
However, after careful observation and careful probing a few times, he regrettably denied his guess.
But no matter what, Ji Thrush thinks that Ren Jianmo should like him - at least, he has a good impression of him.
Now, while Ji Xiaoniao was nibbling on the sandwich, he watched Ren Jianmo drink tea from the thermos cup he had used out of the corner of his eye, feeling a sense of sweetness and peace in his heart.
Obviously they are in a "world" with SS level difficulty at the moment, no one knows what they will face in the end, but as long as he can stay by Ren Jianmo's side like now, he will not be afraid of anything...
"Do you want to eat?"
Ji Thrush shuddered, and quickly came back to his senses. He turned his head and saw that Ren Jianmo was unpacking a bag of sausages.
"To eat!"
Ji Thrush nodded vigorously.
Ren Jianmo smiled slightly, put the sausage on a skewer, and grilled it on the campfire.
Ji Xiaoniao hurriedly finished the sandwich in two or three bites, sat up straight, stared at Ren Damei, his family, and waited for him to feed him.
At this time, Ji Thrush noticed that when Ren Jianmo lowered his head, his long hair would slide down his shoulders, and he couldn't help worrying that the ends of his hair would be burned by the flames.
"Shall I tie your hair up for you?"
Ren Jianmo concentrated on grilling the sausage, without saying a word, only nodded in agreement.
Ji Thrush got up, stood behind him, lifted his long hair, held it in the palm of his hand, and combed it neatly with his fingers.
Ren Jianmo felt the soft touch on the back of his head, and after a while, he said:
"You don't seem to mention the things we used to get along with."
Ji Thrush was taken aback by this endless question, and didn't know what to say, so he just replied "um".
"Why don't you tell me?"
Ren Jianmo continued to ask.
"this… "
Ji Xiaoniao stroked the soft and smooth hair in her palm, thought for a while, and replied softly:
"Because... Anyway, even if you tell me, you will only take it as listening to a story, without any sense of reality..."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and sighed softly:
"It's better to count this 'world' as our first encounter like now... You may regard me as your companion, your comrade in arms..."
As he said, he fixed Ren Jianmo's hair with a rubber band, "That's all."
Ren Jianmo felt that the shape of the hair at the back of his head was not right, so he touched it with one hand, only to find that Ji Thrush actually helped him braid a braid.
"..."
He was speechless about Ji Thrush's childish prank.
"It's baked, let's eat."
Ren Jianmo decided not to be as knowledgeable as him, and pretended not to care about his current weird hairstyle at all.
Ji Thrush smiled as he took the sausage, with a cheerful expression like a cat that had stolen a small dried fish.
This expression is so cute.
Ren Jianmo curled his fingers, but still couldn't hold back, he stretched out his hand and snored on his head that had just grown a layer of stubble.
For Ren Jianmo, this is indeed the first "world" in which the two really spend a long time together.
It's just that the kid guessed a little wrong.
Now he not only regards Ji Xiaoniao as a companion and comrade-in-arms, but also truly feels pity and throbbing.
He likes him.
In fact, Ren Jianmo, like Ji Thrush, experienced another completely different ordinary and peaceful life when he was in the illusion of the imperial mausoleum.
However, in the illusion, he also met Ji Thrush, and it was the same as now...
Once again, as if destined to fall in love with him.
