"That's your specialty, isn't it? Then go do it," the young Taoist said.
As soon as the young Taoist finished speaking, Lin Zhan felt a pain in his groin.
"Hey, hey, hey, brother-in-law, whose specialty are you talking about? I'm still a patient right now," Lin Zhan said.
The young Taoist asked groggily, "Patient? What illness do you have?"
Lin Zhan stood up, staggered towards the stairs, and said as he walked, "I'm mentally ill. Killing people doesn't cost a life. When you're out and about in this world, who doesn't carry a knife... Brother-in-law, hurry up and follow me. Let's gather some people."
The young Taoist looked out the window at the setting sun and said to Lin Zhan, "Big brother, it's almost time to rest. Where are you going to gather people? Isn't it more satisfying to just hold my sister-in-law and sleep?"
"It is, but look at all those people below. If I dare to sleep at home tonight, your sister-in-law will make me sleep forever. Let's go. First, let's find Old Jiang, Old Bai, and Old Xiao. If I don't sleep, no one else should," Lin Zhan said.
The young Taoist followed Lin Zhan, with tears streaming down his face. "You beast! You beast! I'm still a baby, and you're mistreating child labor like this! I'm going to tell Ya'er."
"I'll double your salary this month. Let's go," Lin Zhan said.
"Alright, if you had said that earlier, big brother, it would have been fine," the young Taoist replied.
...
The teleportation array of the Human King Hall flickered. Lin Zhan, along with the young Taoist Zhang Haoming, Jiang Zheng, Xiao Hanyi, and Bai Zhanlong, walked out of the array. Xuan Shang and the other three continued to follow Lin Zhan as his personal bodyguards.
Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian sensed the fluctuation of the teleportation array and appeared before them immediately.
After Bai Qi and the other two respectfully saluted Xuan Shang and his companions, they turned to Lin Zhan and the others and said, "What brings you young ones here so late at night?"
Lin Zhan shrugged and said to Bai Qi, "We're going to fight. Ancestor Yan personally ordered your Killing God Army to join us. We're going to do some world-ending work together."
Bai Qi was stunned. "What kind of job is this? I don't take on small jobs."
"Lizardmen. Annihilate the entire race," Lin Zhan said slowly.
Bai Qi was shocked. "Damn, the Lizardmen are a medium-sized race and even have an Emperor. Am I just going there to be food for them?"
He then looked around at the people present and said, with a determined air, "The Lizardmen race is... acceptable. They're worth my effort."
Lin Zhan looked at Bai Qi, completely bewildered. "Ancestor, can we not brag? You say 'acceptable'? They are a race with two Emperors! If we don't take care of those two old coffin-dwellers, they'll roast us alive, believe it or not. I'll leave Old Xiao and Zhanlong with you. These two are on a similar path to you. You can guide them. This time, all of our brothers will be going to the battlefield, and Zhanlong is your own descendant."
Bai Qi nodded. "Don't worry, I'll handle my end. Come find me whenever you're ready to act."
Lin Zhan nodded and said to Wang Jian and Meng Tian, "Two ancestors, I need to take the Zhen Lei, Xun Feng, and Bai Zhan legions. I also need to take all my newly formed legions with me. I'll have to trouble you two to handle the front-line defense."
Wang Jian and Meng Tian nodded. "With your 8 million troops, there are currently 11 million people defending the front line. After you take your troops, I'll bring the Iron Shield Legion and transfer 5 million from the Royal Guard Army. That should be enough, around 7 million. I'll have Meng Tian lead the remaining 5 million guards and his own legion to train the reserves."
"Alright, as long as you elders have a plan. When it comes to marching and fighting, you are the true experts," Lin Zhan said with a nod.
"Then I'll take my leave and head directly to the front line. I'll rest there tonight."
Watching Lin Zhan and the others leave, Bai Qi looked bewildered. "Has this kid drunk too much fake wine? Otherwise, why would he abandon the beauties at home and run to live in the barracks? The ancestor specifically ordered the various noble families to provide young women for him."
Xiao Hanyi and Bai Zhanlong exchanged glances and remained silent. They were both naturally cold and not very talkative. If it were Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran, two simpletons, by the next morning, all sorts of negative rumors about young master Lin would have spread throughout China, and he might have become known as Lin Impotent.
As soon as Lin Zhan and his group arrived at the central tent of the front-line headquarters, they saw Ouyang Chengshan and Jiang Zhongtian, along with the generals of the major legions, waiting for them. The young Taoist had sent news ahead of their arrival, so all the important generals were waiting here.
Following the usual custom, they first paid their respects to the elders Xuan Shang and his three companions. Ouyang Chengshan then asked Lin Zhan, "Zhan'er, why have you come here so late at night? Xiao Ming told me it wasn't that urgent."
"Heh heh, I just missed grandpa and all my uncles and aunts, so I rushed to see you," the young master Lin said shamelessly.
"Haha, Chengshan, your grandson is too insincere. Do you believe him?" Jiang Zhongtian said with a laugh to Ouyang Chengshan.
Before young master Lin could speak, the young Taoist Zhang Haoming yawned and shook his head. "Grandpa, Grandpa Jiang, my big brother wants to take a concubine, but the girl came to him. He was kicked out by my sister-in-law and has nowhere to go."
"Hahaha, nephew, you're something else! You did what your father dared not do, hahaha!" The generals of the Zhen Lei Legion laughed and praised Lin Zhan.
A general from the Royal Guard Knights laughed and said to Zhang Haoming, "Nephew-in-law, which family's girl is young master Zhan going to marry?"
The young Taoist began counting on his fingers. "Ten from the Qing Qiu Fox Clan, six from the Liu family, and that one from Nai Zhen." He then turned to Lin Zhan and asked, "Big brother, the one with the golden hair, right? I don't think that ancestor will agree."
"Hahaha, our young master is indeed a troublemaker, even getting foreign goods!" Laughter erupted in the camp again.
"Yes, he's worthy of being our nephew. His father almost got divorced trying to marry one, but our nephew is marrying two teams at once! Old brothers, we'd better prepare some gifts!"
Young master Lin's old face turned red. He picked up the young Taoist and threw him onto the military cot in the tent. "Find a place to sleep. If you say anything more, I'll double the bride price for Ya'er in the future."
Hearing this, the young Taoist quickly and honestly lay down on the cot, ready to sleep. After all, this was related to his future happiness.
Lin Zhan said to Ouyang Chengshan and Jiang Zhongtian, "Grandpa, Grandpa Jiang, Ancestor Yan has ordered us and Ancestor Bai Qi to conquer the Lizardmen and annihilate their entire race."
