Chapter 708 – Enlisted in the Black Tiger Army
Chapter 708 – Charging into the Black Tiger Army
“This is a long story, back then, I was not able to return to the human race in time after I got out of the mine, but accidentally strayed into the realm of the beast race, where I was stranded for more than ten years, and only returned to the human race after going around in circles.”
After hearing the explanation, the guard’s expression slightly slowed down.
“I see, you can overcome all the difficulties, not far from the Beast Race to rush back to the Human Race, must not have the intention to be a deserter, just the law does not tolerate, so you have to follow us to take a trip to Crane City.
When we arrive at Crane City, after explaining the situation, we may be able to avoid the punishment.”
Saying that, he took out a purple talisman seal, “In order to avoid accidents, I will seal your spiritual energy, and will only unseal it when we arrive at Crane City, I hope you won’t resist.”
Xu Chuniang’s gaze fell onto the talisman seal in his hand, the powerful sealing power within it was actually not inferior to the kind of weird iron ring that he had used in the mines back then, and it was clearly a grade six sealing talisman.
Seeing that Xu Chuniang didn’t seem to have any intention of resisting, Skywatcher became anxious.
“Xu girl, this is not an ordinary talisman seal, once sealed by this suit, not to mention divine aptitude and law power, even a trace of aura and divine sense can not be used, are you really not going to resist? Be sure to think about it.”
Xu Chuniang was silent, only returning a divine thought.
“I accompanied him to go to Crane City, I’m only receiving punishment, if I really resist, it’s like taking the initiative to go to the opposite side of the human race, and sitting on the charge of desertion.
At that time, where would the entire human race still have a place for me.”
Skywatcher was left speechless, and could only watch as the talismanic seal landed on Xu Chunniang, sealing all of her cultivation.
“I’m offended, when you arrive at Crane City and clear your name, someone will help you remove this sealing talisman.”
After the guard finished speaking, he signaled his left and right to lead Xu Chunniang to the city lord’s mansion to be imprisoned before being escorted to Crane City in a unified manner.
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion’s prison cell, Skywatcher scanned the surroundings and couldn’t help but shake his head straight.
“Tsk tsk tsk, are you really just going to obediently bind your hands? This place is so simple and crude, where is the place to stay!”
Xu Chuniang was unmoved, the military rules were strict, and although she hadn’t intended to violate them, she had delayed her ten years of military service and deserved to be punished accordingly.
Five days later, escorted by the city’s guards, Xu Chuniang, along with several other deserters, was sent to Crane City’s City Lord’s Mansion.
“In accordance with the laws and orders of the Human Race, those who have delayed their military service for less than three years will serve double hard labor; those who have completed three years but not ten years will serve five times hard labor;
Those who have completed ten years shall be enlisted in the Black Tiger Army and serve double military service; those who have delayed the military for more than ten years, causing major losses in battle, shall be enlisted in the Black Tiger Army, and shall not be allowed to leave if they fail to build up merit!”
With a majestic voice ringing out, a middle-aged cultivator with an unruffled and powerful look walked into the hall, his gaze coldly sweeping back and forth from the bodies of several deserters in the hall.
His gaze was like a sharp sword that resembled substance, and anyone who was seen by his gaze subconsciously shrunk and lowered their heads.
“Zhang Wei, should have arrived at Crane City five years ago, but overstayed for no reason, according to the laws and orders of my Human Race, he is required to serve twenty-five years of hard labor, and after he has served his full term of hard labor, he will then serve in the military.”
The male cultivator named Zhang Wei, immediately cried out, “Injustice ah general, I did not intend to delay the military period, I was just busy cultivating, which delayed it for a few years ……”
The middle-aged male cultivator raised his eyebrows and coldly interrupted him.
“There is no need to say more, if you must explain, go to the Black Tiger Army and say it to those half-beasts!”
Zhang Wei was startled and couldn’t help but waved his hands back and forth, not daring to say any more.
He would rather go and serve thirty years of hard labor than be charged into the Black Tiger Army.
The Black Tiger Army sounded good, but in essence, it was a death squad that took on the most dangerous missions on weekdays, and the slightest mishap would put their lives at risk.
Serving hard labor is a bit tiring, but at least there is no risk to life. The middle-aged male cultivator snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping towards the remaining few people, “Exceeding the military period is a violation of military rules, no matter what reason you have, don’t mention it again, otherwise it will be considered as a provocation and the punishment will be doubled!”
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Zhang Wei and continued to pronounce the punishments of the other cultivators.
“Tang Yue, fourteen years overdue, in accordance with the law, when filled into the Black Tiger Army, after serving twenty-eight years of military service in the Black Tiger Army, then organized into the regular army, serving thirty years of regular military service.
If there is any merit, he may be separated from the Black Tiger Army earlier.”
The thought of staying in the Black Tiger Army for so many years, Tang Yue could not help but feel some trepidation, and stiffly opened his mouth to explain.
“General, it’s not that I’m overdue, I’m a cultivator who ascended from the Small Thousand Worlds, and I’m so shy that I can only rush day and night so as not to delay the army.
However, when the house was in trouble, when I was rushing, I accidentally stumbled into the cave of a Void Refining Stage senior, and was trapped by the formations inside for twelve whole years, and it was only with great difficulty that I was able to get out of it.”
“There are extenuating circumstances, but the law is hard to tolerate.”
The middle-aged male cultivator looked towards Tang Yue, his gaze cold and heavy, “The military order is like a mountain, no matter how great your grievances are, you must accept the punishment you deserve.
Tang Yue, the time to charge into the Black Tiger Army is doubled, and you need to serve a full fifty-six years before you can detach.”
Tang Yue’s face turned green and white, instantly becoming much uglier, but he didn’t dare to spit out any complaints.
The middle-aged male cultivator withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the next person.
“Xu Chuniang, eighteen years overdue, in accordance with the law, shall be filled into the Black Tiger Army, and after serving thirty-six years of military service in the Black Tiger Army, shall then be organized into the Regular Army to serve thirty years of regular military service.”
With Zhang Wei and Tang Yue’s precedent, Xu Chunniang wisely did not say much.
This middle-aged male cultivator didn’t seem to have a low status in the military, and his character was dictatorial; his pronouncement simply didn’t allow anyone else to comment on it, and forcing an explanation would only lead to more punishment.
After pronouncing the results of everyone’s punishments, someone then stepped into the hall and led away the deserters who were serving hard labor.
Apart from that middle-aged male cultivator, the only people left in the hall were Xu Chuniang, Tang Yue, and another female cultivator named Guo Xuelian, who was about to be enlisted into the Black Tiger Army.
Right at this moment, a beautiful cultivator with a delicate figure came walking from outside the hall, bringing a refreshing aroma.
She walked into the hall and swept a careless glance towards the three of them, looking towards the middle-aged male cultivator above her, absently fiddling with her nails.
“These are the three people you told me about when you sent the message?”
Seeing her so casually, the middle-aged male cultivator frowned without leaving a trace, “It’s these three who are good.”
“Two Late Transformation God stages and one Mid Transformation God stage, you’re taking care of me quite well.”
The beautiful-looking cultivator raised her eyebrows and smiled, and there was a reference in her words.
The middle-aged male cultivator looked indifferent, “You were originally forced to go to the Black Tiger Army, and the Ding Mao team that you command is also the weakest of the twelve teams, so if you don’t like these three people, don’t bother.”
“You took such initiative to help me, if I don’t take it, won’t it seem like I’m ungrateful?”
The beautiful-looking cultivator let out a light laugh and joked, “The common people say that General Purple Night is unapproachable and only has military discipline and law in his eyes, if they were to see this scene, I’m afraid they’d mistakenly think that the General has some intentions towards me!”
