The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 1386: The Great Battle Approaches

Chapter 1386: Chapter 1386: The Great Battle Approaches

A battle opened the eyes of all the new recruits present, completely overturning their previous thinking.

They didn’t expect that by relying on the strength of ten Foundation Establishment Realm fighters, they could annihilate hundreds of desperate death-row prisoners.

The disciples from the Southern Capital Academy of military strategists were left speechless, looking at each other in embarrassment.

Long Fei gathered everyone together and asked, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"

A group of military strategist disciples shook their heads repeatedly.

Someone couldn’t contain their excitement, raised their hand, and asked, "General, will each of us be able to have a Magical Treasure like this in the future?"

"Of course!"

Long Fei nodded with a smile, introducing them, "As you’ve seen just now, each ten-person squad has its own configuration. This is just the beginning; in the future, you’ll have even more powerful Magical Treasures to use. A hundred people together can destroy a Daoist at the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Oh my god!"

"Is this for real?"

"Couldn’t even imagine it!"

"Does that mean we don’t need to cultivate anymore?"

"Foundation Establishment Realm can annihilate disciples at the Nascent Soul Realm?"

A group of disciples erupted in an uproar, finding it hard to believe Long Fei’s words.

Some things Long Fei hadn’t revealed, keeping them as a trump card against the Demon Race, so he didn’t showcase too much.

This thing wasn’t trivial; it was indeed Mecha.

With this worn on the body, ordinary people could demonstrate extraordinary strength, even confronting Demonizers directly.

After all, not everyone is a cultivation prodigy.

Some people spend their whole life, reaching only the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Such ordinary people are the majority.

How to utilize these ordinary people’s strength must steer towards technological development.

Integrating cultivation with technological civilization to develop a new kind of civilization.

After this demonstration, the new recruits present fully embraced their roles, with no complaints whatsoever.

They understood and believed that, following Long Fei, they could carve out a world of their own. Not only vanquishing water bandits but perhaps doing even more.

People are inherently ambitious; just give them a beautiful vision and demonstrate the strength to realize this vision.

Then everyone can uncover their potential and follow you with all their might.

In the council hall, Long Fei, Chu Feng, and Lin Shanshan gathered with a group of people.

Ji Wanyu’s small face still showed excitement as she asked Long Fei, "Brother Long, I truly admire you! I used to worry about how we could tackle the water bandits with our people. But now I’m not afraid at all; if each of us has a Magical Treasure like we just saw, eliminating water bandits is a piece of cake!"

Lin Shanshan laughed and said, "I told you long ago, that facing the strong ships and sharp cannons of imperialism, the decaying feudal dynasty has no resistance."

Chu Feng also remarked, "Unexpected that our Yin Yang Sect could develop to this extent."

He picked a bullet and asked Long Fei, "Is it hard to make this bullet? Can you ensure supply for the army?"

This was a question on everyone’s mind; they had seen guns and ammunition in the secular world, but far less powerful than this type of bullet.

Long Fei sipped his tea, smiling calmly, "No problem at all. We’ve imported a fully automated production line. The Formation Pattern on the bullet is laser engraved, just a small process improvement. Not just the supply for a ten-thousand army, even a hundred-thousand army can be satisfied."

Everyone relaxed, full of excitement.

Ji Wanrong furrowed her brows and said, "We have the soldiers and weapons, but we’re mainly dealing with water bandits depending on ships as the primary weapon. Is there any problem with these things?"

Though Long Fei assured her everything was alright, she still couldn’t help but ask.

Long Fei calmly replied, "There’s even less need to worry about this; by then, you’ll witness a future war that will surely shock this world."

His confident demeanor made Ji Wanrong completely at ease.

Even without seeing a single warship, she inexplicably trusted Long Fei.

Long Fei asked her, "How’s the recruitment of female soldiers going?"

Ji Wanrong responded with a headache, "Although our world is established on Daoist principles, the gender issue is still very feudal. Usually, families don’t allow their women to go out and find work. Generally, women working in the army are all criminals sent there."

Ji Wanyu curiously asked, "Brother Long, why do you want female soldiers?"

Long Fei rubbed his head and replied, "The industrial era begins with liberating women. The men go to war, so someone has to provide logistical support. Mobilizing women’s strength will give us twice the power against our opponents."

Lin Shanshan giggled and said, "I understand, it’s called women holding up half the sky!"

Ji Wanrong said, "We’ve already recruited over a hundred people. Once we succeed in defeating the bandits, I believe more people will trust us. It’s likely recruiting people then will be easier than now."

Long Fei nodded and instructed Chu Feng, "These days, in between training soldiers, take Bald Dog and Ground Rat Demon King to Snake Island first for reconnaissance. Intelligence is most crucial before any big battle; strive to know both friend and foe."

"Don’t worry, leave it to us!"

Chu Feng, Murong Chong, and Wang Jie exchanged a mutual laugh.

They were worried about having nothing to do; playing with a group of new recruits every day was simply a waste of talent.

Once everything was arranged, everyone busied themselves with their respective roles.

The deadline of one month was drawing closer, and the air over Southern Capital City was filled with tension.

On Snake Island in Yunmeng Marsh, a group of leaders was summoned together, drinking large bowls of wine, eating big bites of meat, making a ruckus for quite a while before a not-tall, dark-skinned, ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a sharp gaze arrived.

Upon seeing him, all the leaders immediately stood up, clasping their fists in greeting.

He was none other than Ji Xiaolian, the leader of Snake Island’s water bandits.

Chu Feng, Wang Jie, and Murong Chong mingled with the water bandits, looking at the bandit leader they had only heard about but never seen, who finally made an appearance today. They all showed slight surprise, having never imagined the bandit leader’s appearance to differ so greatly from their expectations.

They thought the bandit leader should be a burly, robust man.

Who knew, he was a gentleman.

At a glance, he resembled a middle-aged small official in the government.

Sitting down in the center on the sandalwood chair, he gestured for all the leaders to quiet down.

The grand hall on the island was very spacious, accommodating up to a hundred banquet tables inside.

The leaders came from varied backgrounds, including fishermen, farmers, merchants, and seasoned soldiers from the Great Xia Army.

Chu Feng and the others had plotted to kill a mountain stronghold’s king nearby, then proactively transformed into the king’s appearance to seek refuge, and were immediately appointed as water bandit leaders.

This mountain stronghold’s thousand-person team was rather influential among the water bandits.

Initially, Ji Xiaolian had sent people to negotiate several times, trying to persuade the stronghold lord to join, but the proud lord refused each time.

Chu Feng and the others willingly joined, making Ji Xiaolian extremely pleased.

From Chu Feng and the others’ investigations during this period, they discovered some background details of Ji Xiaolian.

He was rumored to have some imperial family bloodline, akin to the likes of Liu Bei in the outside world, fabricating a noble identity using this surname and employing it effectively.

Nicknamed Filial Piety Hei Third Son.
