Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 251 The Beginning of the War
The whole audience was silent.
None of the guards said anything. After layers of screening, Xu Shen had defended his position with his strength.
Several captains of the Royal Guard were looking at Xu Shen carefully, wondering how confident they would be if this young man met them.
The promotion of the Royal Guards' ranks is ranked by the challenge of the captain. Therefore, Xu Shen is now qualified to challenge them and redefine the ranks.
Seeing the silence in the room, Nasefani smiled at Xu Shen and said, "From today on, you will be the captain of His Highness's Sixth Guard. Your written appointment and armor will be delivered in three days. Do you have any questions?"
"No, thank you, Your Highness." Xu Shen knelt on one knee and then stood up.
The tense atmosphere in the conference hall also eased at this moment.
The campaign ended and the hostility between the two parties seemed to be reconciled.
"Um...can you give me the money back?" Guo Peng's voice came from the side, with a bit of helplessness, unwillingness, and bitterness.
Xu Shen looked down at the banknotes he had received earlier and was surprised to find that these banknotes were still in his hand. The feel... was the same as real banknotes.
But Xu Shen could feel that there was a special force flowing in the banknotes.
This is definitely not real money.
"Is this created by your ability?" Xu Shen asked.
Guo Peng smiled bitterly and said, "That's about right."
Xu Shen thought about it and returned the money to the other party. This thing seemed to have no effect in his hands.
When Guo Peng received the money, the helplessness on his face immediately turned into a smile, as if the sadness of losing the election had dissipated a lot. He said with a smile: "Thank you. Come to think of it, you don't love money. You are really a strange person."
Xu Shen said: "Everyone loves money. If you had taken out all the money at the beginning, I might have agreed."
Although he knew Guo Peng's abilities, he had never experienced them personally. Xu Shen felt that if the other party released all his money at the beginning, he would most likely not be able to get close to him.
The ability to gain big with small cannot affect his ability to buy with money. The reason why he was able to weaken it before was simply because he weakened his body, strength, and will.
No matter what kind of ability you have, it depends on your own state.
Guo Peng also knew that what Xu Shen said was right. He had seen earlier that Xu Shen had a tendency to agree, but he held back in the end. In the end, he felt waves of weakness. It was probably that weakness that weakened his purchasing power, which allowed Xu Shen to resist.
"I know..." Guo Peng was a little helpless: "But I can't bear it."
He knew that he could maximize his power by just taking out all the money, but as he said, he couldn't bear to do so.
Even though I know that this kind of money is a good deal in exchange for the position of captain, I just can't bear to give it up.
Xu Shen was stunned for a moment and looked at him in silence.
Such an unstoppable ability is suppressed by personality?
However, if the other party did not have such a greedy character, perhaps he would not have such ability.
Otherwise, this ability is probably even more unsolvable than Director Liu's strategy of using small to win big...
"Everyone, be quiet."
Nasefani suddenly spoke.
Everyone stopped talking and looked up.
The queen ant beside Nasserphone sat up straight, from her previous lazy posture to calm as water. Although she was a girl, she had the appearance of an emperor.
Everyone's heart was filled with awe, their eyes changed a little, and they dared not make any movement.
"The recent incident in West City resulted in the deaths of the two teams' personal guards. The second squad leader Xi Changlin and the sixth squad leader Wang Cheng were killed, and many others were sacrificed."
The Queen Ant's voice was indifferent and calm, revealing a cold and dominant will in her calmness: "The matter in West City is just the beginning. I need you to go to various districts, investigate the hidden dangers in each district, gather the secret bureaus and garrisoned military headquarters in each district, and integrate and concentrate the forces of the districts to prepare for future changes."
"You, are you capable of doing this?"
Everyone was stunned, their eyes changed. They naturally knew about what happened in West City, but they didn't expect it to cause such a big change.
Some people heard that there was the shadow of another king inside... Could it be that a coup war is about to occur in Termite City? !
Integrating the Zhanxu forces of various districts, isn't this preparing for war?
Otherwise, how could this happen in peacetime?
Everyone's thoughts turned, but they responded in unison: "We obey your command!"
The sound was unprecedentedly uniform.
The queen ant nodded slightly, and then asked Nasefani to explain the specific matters.
Each team went to a different area.
Division 1 is the Nightingale District.
The 2nd Division is temporarily vacant and needs to be re-recruited.
Squad 3 is a free zone.
The 4th Division's sleepless zone.
Squad 5: Fog City District.
Squad 6 Black Light District.
As for the Queen Mother Area, there are other arrangements. This is also where 90% of the Queen Ant's military forces are gathered, and their personal guards are not qualified to interfere.
After the distribution is completed, the Golden Ant Order will be issued, which can mobilize the garrison troops in various districts.
Five captains stepped forward and took the tokens one by one. Xu Shen felt that in addition to the heavy token in his hand, there seemed to be an impending storm.
The queen ant escaped from West City and seemed to be preparing for a big move.
After everything was explained, Nasefani told everyone to go away.
People left the meeting room one after another.
In addition to Lin Xiao and Lou Haiyin, Feng Qing and three other members of the second team also followed Xu Shen silently.
"Captain Xu, what happened before was our fault. I hope you can forgive us."
Before Xu Shen could speak, the three of them looked at Xu Shen. Feng Qing's eyes were a little complicated, but he still looked directly at Xu Shen.
Now that they have been assigned to Team 6 and are under Xu Shen’s command, they dare not harbor any resentment towards Xu Shen.
The power and authority of the captain of the personal guard is enough to allow them to take off the golden armor.
Even if they have other connections that allow them to keep the clothes, they will not live long if they are isolated during the mission.
Therefore, the only way out is to admit your mistakes.
They also believed that Xu Shen would not fight to the death with them. After all, they did not have a deep hatred for each other, and once certain tasks were assigned, they would be needed to help.
"How to forgive?" Xu Shen asked back.
The three people's faces changed at the same time.
"Captain Xu, just tell us whatever ideas you have. We will definitely do what we can." Feng Qing's face looked a little unhappy, but he did not show any anger or gloom.
Xu Shen said indifferently: "It depends on your performance."
Feng Qing immediately understood and nodded: "We will."
Xu Shen didn't say anything more and continued to lead the way.
Several people followed him and came to the resting hall of the Sixth Squadron's guards nearby.
Just as he reached the door, a white horse suddenly galloped past Xu Shen's eyes.
He subconsciously wanted to stop, otherwise he would be hit by the white horse.
It’s the Queen Ant’s white horse!
But his pause caused the white horse to glance over at him.
Xu Shen saw the white horse's eyes up close and saw that they were a deep blue, as clear as the blue sky, and his expressionless face was reflected in the eyes.
Xu Shen turned around and looked at the people behind him who were stunned by his sudden stop, and said, "What do you think of the Queen Ant's order today?"
Several people were stunned, and Feng Qing said cautiously: "Captain Xu, this kind of thing...why don't we go to the room and talk about it?"
"Too."
Xu Shen nodded, then came to his senses and continued forward.
The white horse glanced at Xu Shen, paid no more attention to him, and galloped forward quickly.
After entering the hall, Xu Shen sat on the sofa. Feng Qing and others stood in front of Xu Shen, looking a little awkward. Feng Qing thought, "Captain Xu, from what the Queen Ant said, it seems that the incident in West City has gotten out of hand. It is very likely that they will go to war with another king next."
"Do you know about the other king?" Xu Shen looked at him.
Feng Qing smiled and said, "I know a thing or two."
He looked around and saw that Lin Xiao and Lou Haiyin were both curious, so he slowly took two steps closer to Xu Shen and whispered, "I heard that he was the former king of Termite City..."
"predecessor?"
Xu Shen was slightly stunned.
"Yes, more than a decade ago, there was a short and quick battle for the throne."
Feng Qing said cautiously, "That battle didn't cause much of an impact, but the outcome was decided very quickly. From then on, the Termite City had a new owner, with the Queen Ant taking over. As for the former city lord, there was no news. Some said he was killed or eaten, but others said he escaped."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
However, Feng Qing would not lie about such a thing. After all, this is a big deal and it is easy to find out.
"So, the former king now wants to take back everything he had?" Xu Shen asked.
Feng Qing nodded: "That should be the case... But I just heard it from the Tao, so don't take it seriously."
Haha, you’re quite good at distancing yourself from the matter… Xu Shen’s eyes flickered, revealing a thoughtful look.
If the former king wanted to take back the Ant City, the first thing he had to do was to kill the Queen Ant himself, but he didn't do that, which means he was not sure.
Second, rely on the power of the group.
But the army of Termite City is controlled by the Queen Ant... Are they asking them to integrate the Zhanxu forces of various districts just to find out the people controlled and trained by the king?
Xu Shen suddenly thought of an organization.
Anti-internal army!
Will that king collude with this organization?
Thinking of this, Xu Shen suddenly felt the violent storm that was about to come in Termite City.
As the storm sweeps over, he, as the queen ant's personal guard, will inevitably be on the front line.
