The leader of the assassination group felt the aura of an epic powerful man coming from the Eagle Eye Technique and trembled subconsciously.

He glared at Forio angrily and said to him:

"We won't serve you anymore. You can fight them here by yourself. We're leaving!".

He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment. He was really worried that the other party would attack them next moment and mistake them for Forio's reinforcements.

Forio was anxious. In order to show his sincerity, he paid a 40% deposit. If these people just left, he would suffer a big loss.

He quickly stopped the group of people and said:

"You can't leave. You haven't fulfilled the contract yet. If you leave now, you have violated the contract!"

The leader of the assassination group released his brave 9-star aura and said coldly:

"Then Xu Kuang defeated Viscount Bai Hua. I can't beat him. But Xu Kuang is Xu Kuang and you are you. I can't beat Xu Kuang. How can I beat you? Be smart and get out of here!"

Forio was startled, realizing that he had led a wolf into the house. At this moment, he felt extremely aggrieved, but he had no other choice but to let the assassination group leave.

After the leader of the assassination regiment left with his men, he went straight to the position below. When Forio saw this scene, he fainted without even breathing.

…

Zhou Jin was inspecting the artillery position when he suddenly heard a messenger reporting that a group of professionals were asking for a meeting.

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and said to the messenger:

"Let them in.".

The leader of the assassination regiment came to Zhou Jin with two of his confidants.

At this moment, they were closer to Zhou Jin. Feeling the surging mana on Zhou Jin's body, they were even more shocked.

"Who are you?".

The leader of the assassination team cautiously said to Zhou Jin:

"Sir, we are the assassination team invited by Forio."

As soon as the leader of the assassination regiment finished speaking, he saw a circle of soldiers around him clenching the weird-looking weapons in their hands.

He quickly explained:

"My lord, listen to me first, your lord, listen to me first... The villain's name is Van Langs, and he is a mercenary. Before he came, we thought he was assassinating an ordinary lord, so we took in Forio's ex. If we If we knew we were here to assassinate you, we wouldn't dare even if we had ten thousand courages."

Zhou Jin frowned when he heard:

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me, what are you here for?".

Van Lens said quickly:

"We are here to seek refuge with you. When we saw your army on the high slope in good order and full of heroism, we knew that your army is a group of elite soldiers and generals who are invincible and invincible! We...".

Zhou Jin didn't have time to listen to their flattery, so he waved directly, interrupting Van Lens's speech.

"Wait a moment, I still need to ask my lord about this matter.".

Van Lens was stunned and asked:

"Aren't you Mr. Xu Kuang?"

Zhou Jin frowned and said coldly:

"If you blind your dog eyes, my lord is ten times smarter than me, how can I compare with him!".

Zhou Jin was actually quite arrogant. It was only when he saw that Xu Kuang's strategy was bearing fruit and that Xu Kuang always treated his subordinates with courtesy that he admired Xu Kuang.

"Commander, please report this matter to the lord as soon as possible and ask him to make a decision!".

The messenger left here in a hurry.

A group of people were driven into an open space by Zhou Jin, and the heavy machine gun muzzle of the position was turned and pointed at them.

This group of people were trembling with fear. They had just seen this thing break the big tree on the hillside. Even Van Lens was not sure he could withstand a few shots of this thing. At this moment, the group of people were hit hard. With the machine gun pointed at him, he had no choice but to be honest and not even dare to let out a fart.

The news was quickly passed to Xu Kuang. Xu Kuang listened to the dictation of the messenger and asked:

"You mean the position they went straight from Forio?".

The messenger nodded solemnly.

Xu Kuang nodded and said to the messenger:

"Send an order to Ziyu, tell him to write down the names of these people, and then tell them to get lost! Those who defect in the face of battle have no spine at all. If such people are used, sooner or later they will cause big trouble!".

The ordering soldier saluted Xu Kuang and turned around to leave.

Zhuge Duan couldn't help laughing when he heard how Xu Kuang handled it.

Xu Kuang looked at Zhuge Duan and asked with a smile:

"Why are you laughing, sir?".

Zhuge Duan began to explain to Xu Kuang:

"My lord is always quick to talk to others. Duan is impressed by how decisively he handled the matter this time."

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"I never thought that one day I would be admired by my husband."

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

…

The messenger arrived on horseback and whispered the news about Xu Kuang to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin nodded and said to the assassination team:

"You can register your name with me now."

The muzzle of the heavy machine gun moved away, opening a hole for everyone to pass.

A group of people came to Zhou Jin with nods and bows, and signed their names happily.

Zhou Jin reminded:

"It must be your full name, plus your occupation. It's best to write down your level as well."

In fact, there was no need for Zhou Jin to remind them. Everyone was afraid that their names were not eye-catching enough, and they wished they could have every hair on their head written on them.

After a moment, Zhou Jin looked at the list with satisfaction, then waved his hand, and a group of soldiers immediately ran over and drove everyone out of the military camp.

Van Lens asked in astonishment:

"What are you doing?".

Zhou Jin smiled and said:

"Do you really think that my lord thinks highly of you, a bunch of losers who turn their backs on the battlefield? My lord asked me to write down your names. I will never hire you in Mogu Ridge in the future. Do you understand? Those of you who know better, get out of here!"

When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale. They wanted to fall out with Zhou Jin, but when they saw the magic power surging in Zhou Jin, their tempers instantly improved.

"Okay, okay, let's get out of here, please make way..."

Zhou Jin frowned and shouted angrily:

"What way to give way? Is there no road to the north of Balsamic Melon Ridge? Go from that way!".

The group of people had no choice but to walk towards Balsam Pear City again.

The soldiers in Mushroom Ridge burst out laughing when they saw this scene.

Van Lens only felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, so he could only lower his head and lead everyone away from here.

This is just a small episode in this exercise and is innocuous.

…

When Forio woke up again, it was already late at night. He looked at the sky outside the window and asked:

"Is there any movement from those troops?".

The old housekeeper said:

"They have already started to set up camp. They are flying in three waves. They are patrolling in shifts, which makes the soldiers in the barracks restless and talking about it."

Forio frowned, looked out the window worriedly, and said:

"No, if this continues, these soldiers will mutiny. Give me an order not to discuss this military exercise."

The old housekeeper couldn't help but persuade:

"It's not good to do this. I'm afraid it will only have the opposite effect."

Forio could no longer listen to any advice at this moment. He said to the old butler:

"Do as I say, don't worry, these soldiers and ruffians don't dare to cause trouble."

The old housekeeper sighed and had no choice but to do as he was told.

The result was as expected by the old housekeeper. Suppressing this matter at this moment was like adding a handful of hot oil to the fire, which suddenly ignited the enthusiasm of everyone's discussion, and the soldiers discussed it even more energetically.

At dawn the next day, several commanders in the military camp came to report that there were deserters in the thousands-man troops they managed.

Forio was furious and said to the captains:

"Chase! We caught up with the military law enforcement officers! Tell them that whoever dares to escape will not be able to escape, not even their wives, children, or children."

The military exercise was still going on. Zhou Jin figured out the routine of the Bald Melon Ridge army and came up with a bad trick. He asked his soldiers to rest two hours earlier, get up two hours earlier, and start shouting slogans loudly after getting up. practice.

The soldiers who had slept less than two hours got up one after another, just in time to see the infantry regiment walking towards the military camp.

The soldiers of the Panshi New Army shouted slogans with great authority. In addition, most of the regiment in front had experienced actual combat, and there was a murderous spirit in the camp.

How had the coward soldiers of Balsam Pear Ridge ever seen this? They were so frightened that these people even forgot to wear clothes.

Forio hurriedly left the city. When he saw this scene, he was about to speak angrily, but found that the soldiers of the Rock New Army turned back and started walking in the opposite direction.

Forio: ...

The morale of the Balsam Pear Ridge army plummeted. Forio was completely unable to suppress the mutiny of the soldiers. Dozens of soldiers escaped that night. Furio was so angry that he led an ambush on the third night and chased and intercepted them.

The result was good. During the day, the soldiers sent a message to the family members, asking them to run to Mushroom Ridge. At night, the soldiers ran directly to the position of Mushroom Ridge, and Forio did not dare to chase them down.

Forio watched as thousands of soldiers rushed to the opposite position overnight.

Zhou Jin didn't sleep that night because people kept coming to surrender, so he could only temporarily accept these people and report to Xu Kuang the next day.

Xu Kuang received the news and immediately held a small meeting.

After a heated discussion, everyone finally agreed with the idea put forward by Pang Yu. The military exercise continued as usual. The soldiers and their families who entered the military exercise area were temporarily detained. After the exercise, they were given one gold coin per person. Standard asked Forio for living expenses.

Everyone was so happy after hearing this idea that it was too bad. During the three years of drought, a family of ten only spent two or three gold coins a month. Now Pang Yu collects money per head. Each person only needed one gold coin, and the net profit from this transaction was almost nine times!

Xu Kuang was also happy from ear to ear. Although he didn't make much money from this deal, Xu Kuang immediately became overjoyed when he thought of being able to disgust Forio.

Xu Kuang immediately ordered the messenger to tell Zhou Jin about the matter and asked him to consider sending a letter to Forio.

Zhou Jin looked at Xu Kuang's warrant and laughed.

Zhang Damiao happened to come in. He asked Zhou Jin why he was laughing. Zhou Jin directly handed the warrant to Zhang Damiao.

Zhang Damiao was so happy when he saw Xu Kuang's warrant.

Zhou Jin suppressed a smile and said to Zhang Damiao:

"Send someone to send a letter to Forio. Be careful. If they don't come, don't send the letter."

Zhang Damiao performed a military salute and turned to leave.

After Zhang Damiao left, Zhou Jin laughed even harder.

That afternoon, the old housekeeper came to the base of the infantry regiment and battalion down the slope.

Zhang Damiao personally met with the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper bowed respectfully to Zhang Damiao and said with a wry smile:

"Sir, the deserters in our territory have gone to your Mushroom Ridge. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Zhang Damiao pretended to be confused and asked:

"What do you mean? Let me tell you, we have sent you a letter a long time ago, applying to use your channel to conduct military exercises. If your people were accidentally injured by us, we cannot be blamed."

When the old housekeeper heard that Zhang Damiao had wrongly replied, he quickly explained:

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is, can you return our deserters?".

Zhang Damiao then pretended to understand what the old housekeeper meant.

He said to the old housekeeper:

"I have no authority to handle this matter. I need to report it to the Commander-in-Chief, who will then report it to the Secretary of the Interior, who will then report it to my lord. You wait first, let's go through the process first."

When the old housekeeper heard so many steps, he quickly asked:

"How many days will it take?"

Zhang Damiao smiled and said:

"Everyone on this line has a lot to deal with. They can approve such small things in one day or in ten days and a half. Who can say for sure?"

When the old housekeeper heard this, he thought Zhang Damiao wanted to bribe him, so he quickly took out a handful of gold coins and handed them to Zhang Damiao.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Damiao pointed at the five inaccuracies on the wall and said to the old housekeeper:

"Don't mess around, don't affect my career. Let me tell you, if you affect my career, I will really fight you."

As Zhang Damiao spoke, he also released his own warrior-level aura.

The old housekeeper's heart seemed to have been grasped, and he quickly covered his heart and stepped back.

He asked with a pale face:

"Please general, please report as soon as possible...I'm leaving first...".

When Zhang Damiao saw this, he couldn't bear it. He said to the old housekeeper:

"Sorry, please walk slowly.".
