Han Tianxing was gloomy, very gloomy.
Unlike those elite cultivators who were conscripted by force, he came to the southeast battlefield with a heart full of passion and the desire to contribute to the war.
Because of his different background and status, his mindset was different from others.
Li Chengfeng knew that the southeastern battlefield was fraught with danger. To him, he no longer needed merits to protect himself. What he needed was to stay as far away from danger as possible. After all, this was a place where golden bodies and lightning tribulations were as plentiful as dogs. There were more than a thousand elite cultivators here, and at least ten to twenty who were at the early stage of the lightning tribulations realm. If he established a sect with such strength, he could immediately create a powerful sect that could rival the Universe God Sect.
He was an influential figure in the Divine Capital. The bigger the commotion he caused, he was not afraid. This was because he had the Crown Prince and the Princess to back him up. At the same time, the Emperor wanted to rope him in. His enemies could be seen with the naked eye: the Fourth Prince and his henchmen.
But here, Li Chengfeng's enemies could not be seen because he did not know who his enemies were. It seemed like no one was his enemy, but it seemed like his enemies were everywhere.
Nobles were born to be political animals. Even if he was from a fallen family like Li Chengfeng, he was sensitive to these things.
Li Chengfeng knew very well that his sudden meritorious deed would arouse suspicion. That was why he did not want to go to the frontlines or follow the envoy. Even if the other party looked down on him, he did not care.
Li Chengfeng followed Gao Shenghan's orders and stayed obediently in the Southern Sun Plains to train his troops.
Training soldiers naturally wouldn't give them any merit points. After all, the final battle was about to begin. The newly recruited rookies usually wouldn't go to the battlefield. Once they went to the battlefield, it meant that the war had already collapsed. They would only be killed if they went to the battlefield.
Thus, training soldiers here was a place for them to live out their old age and gain experience. Anyone with a little bit of initiative was sent here to be considered as being banished to the cold palace.
Li Chengfeng did not want to be in the limelight, so he was happy to hide here. Even when General Long Tenghai received the report and the Imperial Court sent a diplomatic mission as soon as possible, he did not go out to see the large scale of the diplomatic mission.
That day, the scene was extremely grand. The emperor even sent a prince as the chief envoy, and the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites as the deputy envoy. At the same time, Princess Zhao Feiyue and the military counselor Gao Shenghan also accompanied them. This lineup could not be said to be not gorgeous, and the array was even more luxurious and magnificent. Not to mention other things, just the expensive goose feather carpet alone was spread out for more than 20 miles, and the drummers who saw them off stretched out for four to five thousand meters, which greatly shocked the prince of the puppet country.
This was the frontlines of the battlefield, not the Divine Capital where all sorts of luxuries and resources could be obtained!
The Great Qi Empire was at war with the Puppet Kingdom and the Dijon Kingdom at the same time. The war had been going on for more than a hundred years, and the most recent war had been going on for more than ten years. How could they have the manpower and resources to waste like this?
The depth of this country's war power was unfathomable!
If a scene like this could intimidate the prince, it could naturally intimidate the soldiers and cultivators who came to watch the show.
Xiaobao and Han Tianxing naturally ran over to watch the show. When they returned, Xiaobao chattered excitedly to Li Chengfeng about the scene, while Han Tianxing could not stop sighing, 'This is what a real man should be like!'
Han Tianxing was extremely unwilling to be sent here to train soldiers, but he had no choice. If he did not come, he would have to follow the elite cultivators into the battlefield. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that if no one protected him on the battlefield, he would be used as cannon fodder at any moment.
It was true that he wanted to make a name for himself, but he did not want to die in vain.
Although there hadn't been a large-scale battle in Guang Yuan City, the bombardment from the Flying Warship had made him realize that in the face of a battle of this level, his cultivation wasn't worth mentioning. A single blast from the Magic Cannon would turn him into dust.
Since he could not follow Li Chengfeng to the battlefield to make a name for himself, Han Tianxing vented all his frustrations on the new soldiers.
"All of you, start running!"
Han Tianxing's angry roars came from the vast training ground. Dressed in a cultivator's robes, he glared at the dark-skinned soldiers like a tiger watching its prey. They were so tired they looked like dogs panting, their sparse formation a pitiful sight. It would be a compliment to call them a motley crew.
But no matter how tired they were, no one jumped out to attack. Han Tianxing waited for a long time but did not see the 'chicken to make an example out of others'. This made him even more disappointed.
These soldiers might be new soldiers, but they weren't really new soldiers who didn't know anything. They were all relatively strong soldiers that had been selected from the prefectural soldiers. They were trained in the rear to become reserve soldiers in case of any unexpected situations, but in reality, no one expected them to be of any use.
Li Chengfeng did not intend to train them into elite soldiers either, they just slacked off every day. However, Han Tianxing was very diligent and trained them seriously, causing them to groan endlessly.
Even so, no one was stupid enough to jump out to cause trouble. This was a cultivator after all. Even if they dared to look down on Han Tianxing, who dared to look down on Li Chengfeng?
After thirty laps, the three hundred soldiers were all sprawled on the ground like dead dogs. No matter how Han Tianxing kicked them, they could not get up.
"Get up, all of you get up!"
Han Tianxing angrily walked up to a dark-skinned, muscular young man and kicked him twice. However, the young man only rolled on the ground, howling in pain.
"Ambassador Han, I can't take it anymore. Kill me, I can't take it anymore!" the young man wailed.
Han Tianxing glared angrily at this bunch of useless fools, secretly hating them but helpless. His eyes darted around and he yelled, "Ambassador Li is here!"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers who were lying on the ground like dead dogs quickly got up and lined up without looking around. They did not dare to look too long, but they desperately scanned their surroundings with the corners of their eyes, trying to find Li Chengfeng.
Han Tianxing grew even angrier at this scene. He gritted his teeth, feeling that these fellows did not take him seriously at all but feared Li Chengfeng like a tiger. This made him both angry and embarrassed.
Han Tianxing naturally respected Li Chengfeng. However, he could not accept that these soldiers respected him but looked down on him.
"Ambassador Han!
You liar! "
The dark-skinned soldier yelled angrily when he did not see Li Chengfeng.
Han Tianxing quickly walked up to him and glared at him. "Do you have a problem with that?"
The soldier immediately cowered, shrinking his neck and shaking his head. Han Tianxing suppressed his anger and roared, "Another ten laps, the last ten are not allowed to eat lunch today!"
The soldiers cried out in agony, but had no choice but to run under Han Tianxing's whipping.
