034 I am the commander-in-chief for you
Soon, the team successfully entered Donghuang Town.
Looking left and right, the originally prosperous town is now lifeless, with dilapidated and messy streets, and corpses can be seen everywhere.
All the indigenous people in the town have been evacuated, and only a few refugees have been temporarily resettled here.
The person who came to greet a small flag official named Zhou Wei, who was an old acquaintance with Gu Chengde.
Gu Bai went up to report to his house.
When Zhou Wei learned that the young man was the son and nephew of his old friend, he became much more enthusiastic. While leading the way, he explained the current situation to everyone.
As early as half a month ago, the previous line of defense was already broken by the demon army.
As the umbilical cord connecting Sun and Moon City, Donghuang Town, a strategic fortress, has also fallen into a precarious situation.
Although there have been many troops stationed in Sun and Moon City to Donghuang Town during this period, it is still difficult to go against the general trend. The defense line has been bitten by bit and cannot last long.
"Once Donghuang Town is broken, the beast tide will spread directly into the inner circle." Zhou Wei looked solemn and sighed, "The consequences will be unimaginable at that time."
"Don't the demon-expressing bell work?" Gu Bai was puzzled.
"That is a demon tribe called the Iron-Devouring Sand Worm. This demon has extremely strong reproductive ability. Roughly estimate that at least nearly 10,000 Iron-Devouring Sand Worm lurks around Donghuang Town, and their actions are through underground stealth, and they will only appear when they launch an attack. The sound of the demon-driven bell basically not affect them."
"So difficult..."
Gu Bai narrowed his eyes.
Hiding underground, this is not easy to kill.
After crossing a bunch of fortifications, Zhou Wei said: "I will take you to meet Mr. Sun now, who is the commander-in-chief of Donghuang Town."
Gu Bai nodded and said to everyone behind him: "Everyone find a place to rest first. Lu Yu, go with me to meet Mr. Sun."
Calling Lu Yu is naturally to fill the scene. After all, it is also a ready-made Nine-level Complete Body Tempering.
In terms of cultivation, she is even stronger than Gu Bai. Being a small flag official is no problem, but Long Kaijiang deliberately refused to promote her.
Zhou Wei had long noticed the beautiful little girl dressed in heroic style and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
"Her name is Lu Yu, she is my deputy, an intern at the Xiaoqi Officer." Gu Bai introduced.
When Lu Yu heard the five words "Entertainment of Xiaoqi Officer", Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but be happy.
She followed Gu Bai, nodded twice in a "yes" manner, and her ponytail jumped.
Zhou Wei expressed his expression slightly surprised and sighed: "It's so terrifying to me. I remember that when I entered the Demon Suppression Department with your uncle, it took me ten years to get to the position of Xiaoqiguan. I was not as young and promising as the two of you."
Listening to these words, Lu Yu was already happy. He followed closely behind and secretly glanced at the people around him. Suddenly, he felt that Gu Bai, a disgusting person, seemed not that annoying.
The two followed Zhou Wei to a tent.
At this time, several white-robed general flags in the tent were discussing countermeasures, their words were a little fierce, and their faces were red in the fight.
"These iron-eating sandworms are inexhaustible. If we want to get rid of this dilemma, we can only find the queen of the insect!"
"It's light, and the demon-expressing bell cannot work. Who can kill the sandworms all over the ground and arrive at the demon's nest? Even if you kill them, can you guarantee that you will find the place where the worm is? In the final analysis, it's just a waste of life."
"Or else just wait like that? Wait until the iron-eating sandworms hollow out the fortifications and put out our entire position?"
"It really doesn't work, so I can only inform the department and ask the hundred households to take action in person."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the camp was a little dull.
Now that the situation in Yunzhou is in internal and external troubles, the state master and the Qianhu people go out to fight against the great demons, there are only a few Zhenyuan Realm left in the entire state capital, and one less one is drawn. Who knows whether those clans will take advantage of the situation and subvert the regime.
At this time, Zhou Wei, who was standing at the door of the tent, took advantage of this opportunity to introduce Gu Bai and the other two into the tent, and said:
"General Sun Qi, these two are the little flag officers who were dispatched to support by the Ministry of Justice. His deputy Lu Yu, and the other thirteen people under Gu Xiaoqi have also arrived in Donghuang Town."
Upon hearing this, the three general flags in the camp all turned their eyes. Commander-in-chief Sun Qing was a rough bearded man. He looked at the two of them, his face was not very good: "When is it now, and these little heads are sent over?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Zhou Wei wiped his forehead and didn't dare to respond. He could only give Gu Bai and the others a look of forgiveness.
Gu Bai bowed with a smile on his face, "I have seen several general flags."
Lu Yu next to him was so angry that the little devil was about to speak out, but Gu Bai stopped him with his eyes.
"Do you know what you are facing? You dare to go to the front line?" Sun Qing was already unhappy. Seeing the two of them looking like raw melon seeds, he became even more rude.
"I know, I heard Zhou Xiaoqi say just now that the Iron-Devouring Sand Worm Demon Tribe is against the Iron-Devouring Sand Worm Demon Tribe." Gu Bai's tone was plain and a kind smile on his face. "I just heard from a few people saying they wanted to find the insects, maybe I can help you."
Another general flag shook his head, not very hopeful about this method. "The nest hidden behind the insects is tens of meters deep, and the entire crypt is so big, how do you find it?"
Gu Bai: "I'm not sure about it. I have learned some methods of discerning the differences in the past. I am also very sensitive to the aura of demons. As long as the distance is close, I will be sure to find the place where the insect is."
Sun Qing had lost his patience and scolded with a cold face: "The little ghost head that has not even grown all over the hair dares to speak out here. If you can find the queen of the insect, I, the commander-in-chief, will be given to you!"
Gu Bai raised his eyebrows and bowed seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for giving me this opportunity to prove himself. Gu will definitely live up to expectations!"
Sun Qing's eyes glared. He didn't expect that this boy would dare to take on his own words. A chill of anger suddenly arose in his heart. Just as he was about to scold him, Zhou Wei quickly came out to smooth things over and took Gu Bai and the other two out of the camp.
"Master Sun Qi has always had this temper. Please don't be surprised by the two." Zhou Wei said apologetically, "I will take the two to the temporary camp now, so let's have a rest for a while."
"It's okay, let's go." Gu Bai smiled, not caring.
On the way, Lu Yuliu frowned and became more angry the more she thought about it. She pulled the corner of Gu Bai's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Why are you not angry when that person speaks so badly?"
"These veterans are like this. On the front line, if they want others to look down on you, they have to show real results. We are young, so it is normal for people to look down on you."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Yu remained silent. After a while, he asked, "Then... do you really have a way to find the queen of the insect?"
"I said there was, then there would be certainly."
A subtle curve was hung on the corner of Gu Bai's mouth.
