Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 949
Chapter 949 Declining Cross Demon Corps
The next morning, Jiang Feng wore a bright suit of armor and walked to the location where the Cross Demon Corps was stationed, accompanied by Nie Ji Yun.
Originally, Jiang Feng didn’t want to bring Nie Ji Yun here because the closer Jiang Feng and Nie Ji Yun got to each other, the more he felt that this fellow was actually a chatterbox. Jiang Feng might not be any weaker than Nie Ji Yun in terms of lip service, but Jiang Feng would definitely be at a disadvantage when facing Nie Ji Yun in terms of how much nonsense he had to say.
However, Xuanyuan Diji was worried about Jiang Feng’s safety, so he insisted that Jiang Feng bring Nie Ji Yun along.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to comply.
Along the way, Jiang Feng and Nie Ji Yun were riding a Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse, a warhorse specializing in the Dark Demon Realm. It has three characteristics, one is fast, two is strong vitality, three is human nature, can communicate with their master with divine sense.
Nie Ji Yun rode on his horse and asked Jiang Feng, “Old Jiang, tell me, will the people from the Cross Demon Corps give you a chance to dismount when you go to the Cross Demon Corps this time?”
Jiang Feng nodded solemnly and said worriedly, “Right now, the entire Dark Demon New Territories thinks that I only have the strength of a Saint Demon Mentor, and the people from the Cross Demon Corps probably think the same. Therefore, if we go this time, we don’t rule out that they will cause trouble.”
“Then why don’t you just reveal your true strength to intimidate them? In any case, your three-star strength isn’t low anymore. In addition to your strange methods, even four-star experts have the power to fight.
With this kind of strength, it’s enough for you to sit firmly in the position of Commander of the Cross Demon Corps. ”
“No!”
Jiang Feng rejected Nie Ji Yun as soon as he finished speaking. Nie Ji Yun looked at Jiang Feng doubtfully. Jiang Feng said, “If the people outside think that I am only as strong as a Saint Devil Mentor, then they will send people to kill me. At most, they will only send one or two-star experts.”
But if I reveal that I have three stars of strength, then the person who sent me to kill me … ”
“It will definitely be higher than a three-star realm.” Nie Ji Yun nodded in realization.
While Jiang Feng and Nie Ji Yun were chatting, the Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse had already brought the two of them to the Seven Streams Mountain.
The location of the Cross Demon Corps was not far from the Seven Streams Mountain. Jiang Feng stopped his horse and looked up at the Seven Streams Mountain.
“Old Nie, do you think every powerful race likes to take the best for themselves? The God Realm that I used to live in the lower realms is like this, and now it’s the same in Primordial world.
“This Heavenly Clan Domain is truly filled with scenery. Even though the Seven Streams Mountain is considered a remote place from the Heavenly Palace Hall, it is still magnificent and magnificent. It is extremely dangerous and beautiful.”
Nie Ji Yun smiled and shook his head, “Old Jiang, you’re wrong. The Heavenly Clan’s Domain is not created by the Heavenly Clan, but a space formed by Primordial world’s Innate Realm.”
The Heavenly Clan has lived in this space for generations, and since birth, it has been stronger than other creatures in Primordial world.
However, the Heavenly Clan did not enslave or bully other races for this reason. Instead, they had been trying their best to help them grow.
If it weren’t for the Heavenly Clan, the Primordial Chaos Human Clan and the Orc Clan would probably be even weaker. ”
Jiang Feng glanced at Nie Ji Yun and pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
Right at this moment, Jiang Feng suddenly heard the sound of horses’ hooves in front of him. Jiang Feng and Nie Ji Yun exchanged glances. Nie Ji Yun frowned and said solemnly, “There are about 200 people coming. The sound of horse hooves is very orderly. They should be well-trained.”
“Probably someone who is looking for trouble. Be careful.” Jiang Feng took a slight breath and said.
“You too, be careful.”
Jiang Feng and Nie Ji Yun warned each other, then they held onto the reins and looked ahead. Jiang Feng’s divine sense had already entered his storage ring. As soon as the opponent appeared, Jiang Feng would immediately draw out his 5-star Knight Holy Sword to fight.
Very quickly, a group of soldiers wearing black armor and riding ghost-faced demonic blood horses rushed towards Jiang Feng and the others.
Seeing this group of people getting closer, Nie Ji Yun almost had the urge to pull out his sword.
However, to Jiang Feng’s and Nie Ji Yun’s astonishment, these two hundred soldiers had actually dismounted from their horses and knelt in front of Jiang Feng neatly.
The leader shouted, “Your subordinate, Anton Harper, greets the general.”
“Greetings, General.” The people behind Anton Harper shouted in unison.
“Anton Harper?” Jiang Feng rode on his horse and looked down at these people. After thinking for a while, he got off his horse and walked to Anton Harper to personally help him up.
Jiang Feng had already remembered who this person was, one of Boni’s favorite students.
Before taking charge of Boni, Cross Demon Corps had been an instructor at the Seven Stars Dark Devil Military Academy for nearly ten years. At that time, Anton Harper was a genius in the Seven Star Military Academy, so he was highly valued and nurtured by Boni.
When Boni was transferred to Cross Demon Corps, he made five requests to the military, one of which was to bring Anton Harper with him into Cross Demon Corps.
Jiang Feng looked at Anton Harper and did not say anything. In fact, the reason why he was silent was because Jiang Feng was trying his best to recall bits and pieces of Anton Harper’s memories from Boni.
However, Anton Harper thought that Jiang Feng was so excited that he was speechless after a long time of parting ways with him.
Anton Harper’s eyes turned red as he hugged Jiang Feng.
“Teacher! You’ve finally returned. I knew you would definitely come back. I knew it!”
Anton Harper tried his best to force himself to hold back his tears, but he still couldn’t hold back his tears in the end, and his tears fell on Jiang Feng’s armor.
Jiang Feng patted Anton Harper’s back and deliberately asked in a low voice, “When I left, I told you to take good care of everyone in the Shadow Cultivator. Did you do it?”
Anton Harper escaped from Jiang Feng’s embrace. He turned around and looked at the two hundred people kneeling behind him.
Jiang Feng ordered in a deep voice, “All of you, get up.”
Everyone who was kneeling on the ground stood up. Anton Harper tilted his body and said to Jiang Feng, “Teacher, there were five hundred Shadow Cultivators when you left. Now there are only two hundred and thirty-seven left.”
“I’m sorry, teacher. I didn’t take good care of the brothers of the Shadow Cultivator.”
Anton Harper cried even more after he finished speaking.
Jiang Feng took advantage of this time to sort out the memories related to Shadow Cultivator.
It turned out that “Shadow Cultivator” was created by Boni alone, with an initial population of 500 people.
These five hundred people were either Boni’s best students at the military academy, or the sons of Cross Demon Corps’s most loyal generals.
These people, on the one hand, were taught the most meticulously by Boni and, on the other hand, participated in discussions with Boni on various military decisions, acting as Boni’s think tanks.
Right now, there were still 237 people left out of 500, and there was no need to guess that more than 200 people had died on the battlefield.
Jiang Feng patted Anton Harper on the shoulder and swept his gaze across the remaining 237 people.
“Larry Coffin, Marlin Decker, Julian Byron …”
Jiang Feng called out one name at a time. Every time he called out a person’s name, one person’s eyes would turn red and his entire body would tremble as he silently shed tears.
Jiang Feng could feel the excitement in these people’s hearts. At this moment, he understood why Boni, without Cross Demon Corps, would decline more and more.
Once Boni was Cross Demon Corps’s backbone, Cross Demon Corps’s status in the military would not be any lower. Secondly, Boni was the soul of Cross Demon Corps. The generals he had appointed in Cross Demon Corps and the reserve officers he had trained were all from his trusted aides and students.
With an organization like this, once Boni was gone, these people would be suppressed and excluded.
Therefore, they could foresee that the anticipation of Boni’s return would soon be turned into stone.
Jiang Feng waited for Anton Harper and the others to cry for a while. Then he clapped his hands and said, “Alright, cheer up. This is not the time to be sad! Anton, tell me about the current situation of the Cross Demon Corps.”
“Yes!” Anton Harper said as he straightened his chest.
Due to Anton Harper’s sudden appearance, Jiang Feng and Nie Ji Yun were no longer in a hurry to go to the base of the Cross Demon Corps.
They sat on the ground, and then Anton Harper told Jiang Feng about the current situation of the Cross Demon Corps.
Jiang Feng listened carefully without interrupting Anton Harper.
After Anton Harper finished his explanation, Jiang Feng secretly summarized the current situation of the Cross Demon Corps in his heart.
It turned out that during the years that Boni had left the Dark Devil Realm to chase after Nie Ji Yun in Primordial world, Cross Demon Corps had gone through many changes and battles. This was extremely complicated, so Anton Harper only used simple words to summarize it.
After Boni left, the forces of the Dark Devil Martial System had paid a great price to bring Cross Demon Corps into the Dark Devil Martial System.
Naturally, the magic system would not agree, so the two sides started a tug-of-war.
In the end, the Military and Political Directorates came up with a compromise, and that was, a group of old nobles with military ranks and no military posts would be in charge of the Cross Demon Corps.
When these noble lords arrived at the Cross Demon Corps, they immediately replaced all the generals in the army with their trusted aides. As a result, the elite forces that were famous in the Dark Demon Realm had become logistics units over time.
There was no part of the Cross Demon Corps in charge of the war, but the dirty work of cleaning up the battlefield, transporting supplies, and building the fortress was all theirs.
All the slightly brave soldiers in the Cross Demon Corps had been organized into one division. This division was Anton Harper’s current Fifth Division.
In other words, apart from the Fifth Division, the remaining four divisions of the Cross Demon Corps were all waiting for their deaths in a daze, and they didn’t have the slightest bit of fighting strength.
Jiang Feng clapped his hands excitedly after listening to Anton Harper’s story. He nodded and said, “Mm, not bad. This is really great.”
