Chapter 636 Silver Dragon Army
"Turns out he's quite the expert."
Li Ben was equally shocked to see Ye Kang knock down three people in an instant.
Firstly, it was due to his overwhelming strength, and secondly, it was due to the lightning technique Ye Kang used.
This is Leizhou after all, and thunder magic is the most revered martial art. Among the current powerful figures, there are many who are skilled in thunder magic, and they all have one thing in common.
That means it has extremely high destructive power, surpassing all other martial artists of the same level.
I never expected that someone in this desolate frontier would possess the inheritance of thunder magic; I must have misjudged them.
But that's fine too. This guy has no background, low cultivation level but decent strength, he's practically a chosen cannon fodder.
Being able to assist my senior brother should be enough.
He smiled and said, "It seems the winner has emerged. What's your name again?"
"Replying to Instructor, my name is Ye Kang."
"Good! From now on, you will be the third commander to succeed Lian Hulong, and all his former subordinates will be under your command."
As he spoke, Li Ben casually tossed out a commander's waist token.
This is not an official identity token issued by the imperial court; it was created by Jin Lingfeng himself and has no use outside of Windrise Valley, hence its casual distribution.
Ye Kang accepted the token and said, "Thank you, Instructor. Ye Kang will definitely dedicate himself to the Windbreak Valley."
"That's good then. Let's settle this matter as it is. The three of you don't need to shirk responsibility. Just go out on patrol as usual. I will send a Silver Dragon Army soldier to accompany you. Ku Yue won't dare to make a move."
Li Ben pointed behind him, and three palace soldiers wearing silver helmets and armor stepped out.
That's right, this is the true fighting force of Windrise Valley, or rather, the true grassroots fighting force of the entire Martial Dynasty.
The four border armies.
The Silver Dragon Army, Red Wolf Army, Flying Bear Army, and Black Crow Army are responsible for guarding the frontier.
The Black Desert is guarded by the Silver Dragon Army, whose soldiers are all clad in silver armor and wield incredibly sharp silver spears.
Windrise Valley was also a border garrison, and Jin Lingfeng, as a captain, naturally had twenty Silver Dragon Army soldiers guarding him.
The lowest cultivation level among these twenty people was at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and the squad leader in charge of commanding them even had the cultivation level of the Star Luo realm.
Unfortunately, most of them are not in Windbreak Valley, but deep in the Black Desert, guarding another demon king who is even more dangerous than Kuyue.
That demon king was extremely dangerous, and he couldn't leave even for a moment. Therefore, Jin Lingfeng had to rely on himself to deal with Ku Yue.
With the addition of the Silver Dragon Soldiers, it means they are under the protection of the military, and no matter how bold Ku Yue is, he would not dare to attack them.
Upon seeing this, Shi Motong and Commander Zhang both bowed and accepted the order.
"Thank you very much, Instructor Li."
"Well, let's go."
Li Ben gave Ye Kang a meaningful look, and at the same time transmitted his voice to a Silver Dragon Soldier: "Old Wang, this person is a bit strange. Take him to the southeast and test his strength."
The silver-dragon soldier glanced at Li Ben and replied disdainfully, "I never promised you I would do so many things for you."
Li Ben was immediately annoyed, thinking to himself, if it weren't for the young master's insistence on not using the family's power, would a lowly soldier like you even have a chance to speak?
But now that he needed their help, he could only suppress his anger and say, "Don't worry, you'll get plenty of spirit crystals when we get back."
"That makes things easier."
Beneath Old Wang's silver helmet, a weathered smile appeared.
His name was Wang Wen. Because he was always very steady, he became a seasoned veteran of the Silver Dragon Army.
He had always looked down on Li Ben, but since the other party had a good master, it wasn't bad to occasionally make some extra money from him.
He walked steadily toward Ye Kang and said, "Let's go. There's a problem somewhere to the southeast. I'll go with you."
Ye Kang showed no dissatisfaction and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir."
Wang Wen's lips curled up. This kid has a pretty good mouth.
At this moment, Ye Kang suddenly received a telepathic message from Shi Motong.
"How much are you hiding? Why are you pretending?"
Ye Kang said, "Sister Mo Tong, why do you say that? If I didn't act a little stupid, how would I have a chance to survive?"
"That makes sense... A group of bandits has appeared in the southeast direction, so be careful."
Ye Kang gave Shi Motong a grateful look, then turned and walked out of Windbreak Valley.
The five men with the scarred face immediately followed, and the surrounding patrol teams quickly made way for them, afraid of making eye contact with Ye Kang.
This new commander looks harmless, but he is ruthless. They had all made some sarcastic remarks just now. If he holds a grudge, things will not go well for them in the future.
Ye Kang ignored them and walked straight out. The demonic aura of the Withered Moon Demon King still lingered outside, and Ye Kang could sense that the guy hadn't left yet.
But just as Li Ben said, he did not come out to cause trouble.
Perhaps it was because of the existence of the Silver Dragon Soldiers, or perhaps he simply didn't take Ye Kang and his companions seriously.
They couldn't possibly be the murderers who killed his son.
The group flew southeast. Shen Fei and the others wanted to congratulate Ye Kang, but because Wang Wen was following behind, they didn't dare to speak.
Ye Kang took the initiative to ask Wang Wen, "Sir, what has happened in the southeast? Could you please tell me in detail?"
Wang Wen coldly replied, "Just a bunch of arrogant bandits. Their leader is called Sha Shangfei. They robbed a caravan."
"The Pedestrian Merchant Guild?"
"Ha, how could that be? The Walkers are a major merchant guild with incredibly powerful guards. Who would dare to rob them? They're just some unknown small merchants who have been doing business with Windbreak Valley for a long time. We can't just ignore them."
"I see."
"Let me make this clear beforehand: I will not intervene. This is your task, so you'd better be quick-witted."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang immediately showed a regretful expression.
Of course, he was also certain that Wang Wen had deliberately sent them to find the bandits, probably at Li Ben's behest, to test his own strength.
Since that's the case, the opponent's cultivation level shouldn't exceed the fifth palace level. After all, that's beyond my ability to handle, and Li Ben wouldn't be foolish enough to test me with such a deadly situation.
Just as Ye Kang was thinking of this, the system notification sounded.
【Ding】
[Mission issued: Capture Sha Shangfei alive]
[Task Reward: 500000 Comprehension Points]
He remained expressionless, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
Great, I can do tasks again.
I thought I had a lot of comprehension in reserve, but after spending it all, I only had 10 left.
There really aren't enough!
While the group was on their way...
In the southeast, in a desert and Gobi region, dozens of Nascent Soul Realm martial artists, holding various weapons, looked worried.
"Brother, are we really going to seek refuge with Fangjiabao?"
"That's right, brother. We're used to a leisurely life. If we go to Fangjiabao, we'll either be servants or menial laborers. We can't stand it!"
The leader was a young man with a long whip tied around his neck, dressed in leather clothes and armor.
He gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? Who told you to be so greedy? You even dared to rob the merchants who sell goods to Windbreak Valley. Now, apart from Fang Family Fortress, who can protect us?"
