Capítulo 826: Chapter 17: The Army Forms! An Unmatched Lineup (6000+)_2
“I… have nothing to say!”
Luo Xu gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging.
“You have nothing to say, but I still have words to speak!”
Prince Cheng’s voice suddenly turned murderous.
Luo Xu immediately stood straight, his expression becoming grave.
“Zhang Anwu is your son-in-law, yet such a thing has happened now. He has been the military supply supervisor for so many years, and now he dares to embezzle the elixirs meant for the martial artists of Blue Patrol Pavilion. Who knows how much he has embezzled in the past? If this matter cannot be thoroughly investigated, how can we explain it to the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Border Army?!”
Prince Cheng’s tone was as cold as winter, making Luo Xu feel immense pressure.
He immediately bowed and said:
“Prince, I truly had no knowledge of Zhang Anwu’s actions. Had I known he was such a person earlier, there would have been no need for Marquis Jing’an to come and kill! I would have executed him myself, putting righteousness before family!”
Prince Cheng did not respond to this and shouted another name: Chapters fırst released on NoveI(F)ire.net
A man with a hard and cold face immediately stood up:
He was the chief military judge of the headquarters of the Northern Border Military Court, a Level 16 military officer.
“You are to thoroughly investigate this matter and produce a result within seven days!”
Prince Cheng ordered.
This meant Zhang Anwu’s death would not be the end, but merely the beginning.
He was Luo Xu’s son-in-law, and if the Military Court wanted to investigate deeply, Luo Xu would have to sever ties decisively!
After giving the order, Prince Cheng turned to Li Fei:
“What does Marquis Jing’an think?”
Li Fei bowed: “Everything is at Prince’s command.”
In Shaman City, within a training ground, more than three thousand martial artists recommended by Blue Patrol Pavilion were all gathered there.
After bringing them back to the camp, Li Fei was soon called to attend a military emergency meeting.
These more than three thousand martial artists observed this closely. After Li Fei left, they did not disperse immediately but continued to gather on the training ground, waiting.
Everyone was discussing how today’s event would conclude and what would happen to Li Fei.
“In my opinion, the Marquis might be disciplined by the Military Court this time!”
“Yes, he directly killed someone, so bold.”
“I say, the evidence for that supervisor’s crime was already found, why kill? Hand him over to the Military Court, retrieve our elixirs, and maintain both dignity and substance, who could argue against it?”
“Alas, Marquis was indeed too impulsive…”
“We won’t suffer misfortune along with them, right?”
“Hey, luckily I didn’t rush up there back then. Those who drew their swords against the guards of the Military Supply Headquarters might be unlucky!”
The crowd discussed intensely, with the vast majority not optimistic about the final outcome of the event.
Those martial artists who followed Li Fei to charge out, some even drawing their swords, were apprehensive, worrying that their impulsive actions might have led them to support the wrong side and incur trouble.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the training ground gate.
“They’re coming, they’re coming!”
Five large trucks drove into the camp, finally stopping at the training ground.
“Everyone, lend a hand. The things in the trucks are for you!”
A driver responsible for transportation shouted loudly.
People on the training ground gathered around, assisting in unloading the boxes from the trucks and placing them on the ground.
“It’s that batch of Replenishing Essence Elixir!”
Someone recognized the style of the boxes, the very same more than a hundred boxes of Replenishing Essence Elixir that had been found at the Military Supply Headquarters.
But five large trucks obviously carried more than just a hundred boxes.
“These are Ice Crystal Pills.”
“Here are Green Wood Pills.”
“I’ve got Marrow Fire Pills here!”
People shouted excitedly.
The elixirs they spoke of were all cultivation elixirs.
Replenishing Essence Elixirs were specifically to provide energy for various attribute Implants, akin to common meals.
Meanwhile, cultivation elixirs were like diverse nutritional supplements that accelerate the growth of Implants.
Their values are entirely different!
The military had previously issued some cultivation elixirs to these martial artists of Blue Patrol Pavilion, but in limited quantities.
In subsequent training, only those who performed excellently received cultivation elixirs as rewards.
At the border, cultivation elixirs were exchanged solely for military merits.
Now, there are more than a hundred boxes of cultivation elixirs on the training ground!
This generated immense joy among all present.
The surprise wasn’t over:
“Come take a look, there are Protective Clothing!”
“Also Abnormal Weapons!”
In total, five trucks transported over five hundred boxes, besides Replenishing Essence Elixirs and cultivation elixirs, there were over two hundred boxes of Abnormal Weapons and a dozen boxes of Protective Clothing!
For martial artists, aside from cultivation elixirs, the most coveted are Abnormal Weapons and Protective Clothing.
Though heavy armor offers better defensive power than certain low-level protective clothing, armor is too heavy, lacks agility, and is not suitable for daily wear.
Moreover, on the battlefield, wearing armor on the outside and protective clothing on the inside equates to an extra life!
More than two hundred boxes of Abnormal Weapons were roughly only over four hundred weapons.
With a dozen boxes of Protective Clothing, there might only be over a hundred pieces of clothing.
This amount is certainly not enough to distribute to everyone.
Today, those martial artists who charged out and drew their swords against the guards of the Military Supply Headquarters were now filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, martial artists who refrained from choosing sides were deeply regretful.
Li Fei not only retrieved all the Replenishing Essence Elixirs but also brought back so many more good things.
This indicated that not only was he not punished for today’s event, but he might have been rewarded!
Once all boxes were offloaded and the five trucks had left, a car drove into the camp.
