Chapter 1878 Cruelty (1)
?1878 Cruelty (1)
"Arghh!" The fleeing ghosts were mercilessly killed by the ghost soldiers. As much as they wanted to resist, they were too weak to fight back.
"This is the consequence of deserting the army." One of the ghost soldiers let out a cold laugh as he brandished his sword.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He could clearly see that the ghost soldiers were killing for pleasure.
He waved his hand, sending a few wind blades toward the ghost soldiers. Before the soldiers could react, their bodies had already been cut in half.
The running ghosts were startled and quickly noticed Yun Lintian. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Thank you for saving us."
Yun Lintian used his power to help them stand up and ask. "What happened?"
A middle-aged man among them was the first to speak. "We are escaping from the southern army. They wanted us to die without giving us any weapons."
Yun Lintian felt strange after hearing this.
"Sir, this is not a war. They just wanted us to throw our lives away!" Another person spoke.
"Yes! This is a conspiracy!"
More and more people echoed.
Yun Lintian raised his hand to stop them. "Could you elaborate on that?" L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Everyone looked at the middle-aged man. Clearly, he was recognized as a leader.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and spoke. "This isn't my first time participating in a war. Back then, we would receive equipment and training before entering the battlefield."
"Moreover, our enemy would be on the same level as us. This is the iron rule that everyone recognizes."
"However, this time, there is no division or support from the above. All newly recruited soldiers will be sent directly to the battlefield without training. Moreover, those in higher positions don't respect the rules and attack us directly."
"The battle is simply a mess. They don't want us to fight. It's more like sending us to die for no reason."
Yun Lintian roughly understood the situation. "How did you escape?"
The middle-aged man wore a bitter expression. "At first, we had no way to escape, but the sudden change in the battlefield gave us a chance. We took the opportunity to run."
At that moment, two ghost soldiers emerged from the camp and advanced toward Yun Lintian.
"Shit! How could they let those trashes go?" One of the guards cursed angrily.
"Who knows?" Another guard was also upset.
They were wrongly implicated in a mistake they didn't commit. Now, they had to patrol around the camp as a punishment.
The patrol task wasn't difficult, but it was too lengthy. They had to keep walking around the camp for at least a week.
"Forget it. It's better than going to the battlefield." The guard spoke.
"Yeah." Another guard wore a fearful expression as he thought about the battlefield.
As they drew closer, Yun Lintian made sure that no one was around and quickly took action.
Swoosh!
Before the two guards could detect anything, they had already disappeared.
Yun Lintian picked up the armor and put it on himself.
"Stay inside for now. Do not show up. Understand?" Yun Lintian spoke to Gui Xuan, who was concealed within the armor on his chest.
Gui Xuan tilted his head, wearing a confused expression.
Yun Lintian sighed and handed him a pack of beef jerky. He hoped that Gui Xuan wouldn't cause trouble this time.
Gui Xuan happily took the jerky and curled up inside the armor.
Yun Lintian carefully disguised himself as one of the guards who was quite overweight.
After confirming that everything was fine, Yun Lintian promptly entered the camp.
"Why are you here, fatty?" When Yun Lintian stepped into the camp, a ghost soldier happened to spot him and asked with a strange expression.
Yun Lintian quickly said. "I forgot my rations."
"The ghost soldier shook his head. "How could there be a ghost as fat as you..."
Yun Lintian laughed and walked away. Thankfully, this person didn't ask any further questions.
"Arghh!"
Suddenly, a miserable scream could be heard as Yun Lintian walked past a row of tents...
