Chapter 138 - Integrating With One Another (1/2)
Zhang Yunhu smiled as well. “Usually, only Marquis and Regis G.o.dfiends take on the Patroller position. There aren’t many Great Solar G.o.dfiends that can be Patrollers.”
“Meng Chuan, remember this. Once you finish reinforcing a place, immediately return to North River Pa.s.s,” Marquis Southcloud said.
“Yes,” replied Meng Chuan. He knew that he became a Patroller because of his speed that matched a Regis G.o.dfiend’s.
The 18 prefectures around North River Pa.s.s were in three different States.
“The demons only attack North River Pa.s.s two or three times a year,” said Zhang Yunhu. “Junior Brother Meng, you will only need to reinforce places once or twice a year. It will take two hours at most every time! I doubt that attacks will happen on the same day. Junior Brother Meng, we can still hold on if we are a little more cautious.”
“Yes, get Ge Cong and Wu Zixiu to prepare quickly. I need to go to another city pa.s.s,” instructed Marquis Southcloud.
“Alright, they’ve long been prepared.” Zhang Yunhu nodded.
…
Moments later, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue sent Marquis Southcloud and company off.
Marquis Southcloud brought the three other G.o.dfiend disciples and two more G.o.dfiends, Ge Cong, and Wu Zixiu—who were being deployed elsewhere since Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue arrived at North River Pa.s.s.
“You are both stronger than us,” said Wu Zixiu when he left. “It’s good that you’ve come to North River Pa.s.s. Senior Sister Yu, Junior Sister Mu, and Senior Brother s.h.i.+ are a little odd, but you can trust them with your lives.”
“Understood.” Meng Chuan nodded.
Wu Zixiu was a sharpshooter. He had a golden divine rune between his brows.
Meng Chuan had cultivated Lightning Runes. They were on his back, increasing his lightning’s power greatly. Liu Qiyue also had a Phoenix rune on her back.
“We’ll be leaving then.”
“Haha, we’re finally a bit closer to our homeland.” The two laughed as they boarded the giant fiery-red bird’s back.
“Let’s go.” Marquis Southcloud gently patted the bird’s neck. The bird immediately soared into the sky and flew southeast.
…
“I heard that you requested to live in the same mansion, so I’ve arranged that.” Zhang Yunhu grinned and stood in front of a luxurious manor. “How is it? Not bad, huh?”
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded in satisfaction.
North River Pa.s.s’s outer city walls could be seen behind the mansion! G.o.dfiend residences in North River Pa.s.s were close to the outer city walls. Once the drums sounded, G.o.dfiends would be able to reach the inner-city walls quickly.
“Rest for now. Come to my place tonight. I’ve prepared a banquet. All the G.o.dfiends at North River Pa.s.s will attend,” said Zhang Yunhu with a smile. “It’s for everyone to know each other.”
“Alright.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded.
Stewards and servants managed the manor. They were hired by the imperial government to serve G.o.dfiends. The stewards and servants were extremely diligent.
…
That night, at North River Pa.s.s’s General Manor.
A total of 31 G.o.dfiends gathered. General Zhang Yunhu, the nine deputy generals—Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, Fan Cheng, s.h.i.+ Xiu, Yu Chiyan, Mu Qing, Yang Xingwu, Qiu Qi, and Feng Qianfan—and 21 commanders were North River Pa.s.s’s main force.
Meng Chuan held a cup—filled with alcohol—and chatted with the G.o.dfiends, familiarizing himself with them.
The G.o.dfiends at North River Pa.s.s had their own duties.
Two deputy generals—Qiu Qi and Feng Qianfan—led 19 ordinary G.o.dfiends and mortal soldiers to fend off mortal demons and weak demon monarchs. Although Qiu Qi and Feng Qianfan were also Great Solar G.o.dfiends, they were outer sect disciples. They were middle-grade G.o.dfiends, and they were slightly inferior to the other deputy generals. In terms of strength, they were much weaker. However, they had rich experience in leading an army. Therefore, they were in charge of fending off ordinary demons and weak demon monarchs!
Zhang Yunhu, the seven other deputy generals, and two sharpshooter commanders were all Archean Mountain disciples. They were the main force that dealt with third Firmament demon monarchs!
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue sat with Meng Chuan and said via voice transmission, “Senior Brother Zhang has a straightforward personality. He looks like he’s easy to get along with.”
Meng Chuan agreed when he looked at Zhang Yunhu—who was flushed red thanks to the alcohol. Zhang Yunhu had a charm that made everyone around him trust him! He was indeed a veteran general.
