The moment he appeared from the formation, the 10,000 black-armored demon soldiers let out a roar of slaughter. This roar was filled with demonic energy, and its power was no weaker than the roar of a Soul Transformation cultivator.
The steward's eyes revealed a hint of mockery. He let out a dry cough as he looked at the surrounding black-armored demon soldiers and shouted, "Where is Commander Sima!?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of horses galloping could be heard from the distance. A giant beast with a single horn on its forehead and a pitch-black body charged toward them. The beast's speed was extremely fast, leaving a trail of dust in its wake like a tidal wave.
There was a person standing on top of the beast. This person was wearing black armor with purple markings on its surface. He wore a black helmet, and a dense killing intent was released from his eyes, which were the only parts of his helmet that could be seen.
When he saw Wang Lin appear, there was a hint of shock in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a powerful killing intent.
As this person charged over, the surrounding demon soldiers immediately opened up a path, allowing this person to charge at Wang Lin. When he was 300 feet away from the center, the beast under his feet let out a roar and stopped. Although it stopped, it kicked up a cloud of dust.
The steward waved his sleeves and immediately a gust of wind swept past, blowing away the dust in the surroundings. He looked at the black-armored man and said, "This is the new commander, Vice Commander Sima. You still haven't greeted him?" He purposely emphasized the word 'Vice' with a slightly heavier tone.
The black-armored person gloomily looked at Wang Lin and coldly said, "Sima Yan greets the commander!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he looked at this person and calmly said, "I've already met you!"
Sima Yan let out a cold snort and took off his helmet. It was the gloomy person from the restaurant!
The steward's eyes revealed an unfathomable look as he clasped his hands at Wang Lin and said, "Commander Wang, since I'm here, I'll be taking my leave. I still have to report back to the demon general!"
Wang Lin faintly smiled and said, "Thank you, steward!"
The steward nodded with a smile. He took a step forward and entered the formation again, disappearing without a trace.
After he left, the camp fell silent. Only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Sima Yan looked coldly at Wang Lin and said, "Lord Commander, the ten thousand demon soldiers of the Black Armored Army, other than six who are unconscious and unable to come out, are all here!"
Wang Lin's expression was the same as usual. He calmly looked at the black-armored demon soldiers around him. In their eyes, he saw disdain and hostility. A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes and he slowly said: "All of you, step down!"
None of the ten thousand demon soldiers moved. Their gazes all landed on Si Mayan.
If Sima Yan didn't say anything, they wouldn't listen to anyone, even if this person was the new commander!
Wang Lin didn't even look at the demon soldiers around him. He walked out and passed through the ten squads. Shi San and Hu Pao followed closely behind him. Their expressions were dark and they didn't say a word.
After the three of them left, the ten thousand demon soldiers in the ten squads burst out laughing. This laughter was filled with disdain and disdain. Only Sima Yan didn't laugh. He frowned. He didn't know much about this new commander, but he knew that if he encountered this situation, he wouldn't walk away so calmly. He would definitely cause a scene!
"All of you, step down. Continue your training!"
Sima Yan said with a frown. Although his voice was soft, it was like thunder in the ears of the demon soldiers. The ten thousand demon soldiers immediately stepped back and the ten squads began their training!
Other than the rows of barracks, there was also a relatively simple house. However, the house was protected by a protective formation. A large black flag was erected at the side, and on the flag cloth, two words were embroidered with golden thread … Sima!
It was obvious that this house was where Sima Yan lived.
On the side were the remains of some buildings. It was obvious that there was more than one house here.
Hu Pao looked at everything in front of him. When he heard the mockery from the demon soldiers behind him, his expression became gloomy and he angrily said, "Ancestor, these demon soldiers are going too far!"
Wang Lin's expression remained the same and he calmly said, "Don't worry about them. Since there is no place for us to live here, we'll just cultivate in the open!" As he spoke, he found an open space, sat down, and began to cultivate.
Hu Pao suppressed the anger in his heart and coldly looked at the scattered demon soldiers. He let out a cold snort and sat down to guard Wang Lin's left.
Although Shi San's expression was gloomy, his eyes were as calm as water. He didn't care about the contempt of these demon soldiers. He only knew that as long as Wang Lin gave the order, even if he lost his life, he wouldn't hesitate to attack.
On the right side of Wang Lin, Shi San sat down and closed his eyes to cultivate the Giant Demon Clan's body refining spell.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was night time. The 10,000 demon soldiers in the camp continued to shout as they sparred with each other. Their focus was on actual combat and the coordination of formations. The demon soldiers that passed by Wang Lin were filled with disdain.
Wang Lin's expression didn't change at all. He was like a pool of water without any ripples!
Shi San had been imitating Wang Lin and was also cultivating with his eyes closed. Although there were a few ripples in his heart, he was able to suppress them in the end.
Only Hu Pao couldn't calm down at all. His gaze was cold as he scanned the demon soldiers that passed by.
Not only was Wang Lin's expression calm, but his heart was as calm as water. He wasn't in a rush to deal with this place but to observe. Although he had been cultivating, his divine sense had silently observed these 10,000 people.
Every thousand-man platoon had a leader. Most of the ten leaders were Sima Yan's trusted aides. As for the six demon soldiers in the restaurant that day, although their cultivation bases were ordinary, they were clearly people with prestige in the army.
The reason he didn't immediately act was because he had a very deep understanding of the demon soldiers and the laws of the Demon Spirit Land. This understanding came from the memories of Lou Yun's ancestor.
The nine countries of the Demon Spirit Land followed military law, which was very different from the cultivation world. Unless one's cultivation was heaven-defying and could fight against the Demon Emperor, one had to follow the military law if one wanted to borrow the power of the Demon Spirit Land!
Any outsider that entered the Demon Spirit Land would first integrate into the nine countries and gain military power. Only then would they be able to gain a foothold here. Otherwise, if they were alone and met an opponent with tens of thousands of demon soldiers, there would be no need to fight at all. Although the cultivation levels of these demon soldiers weren't high, there were some experts among them. In addition, these demon soldiers were good at formations. They used all kinds of strange formations to kill their enemies, and they often caught them off guard.
What's more, if one killed too many demon soldiers, it would draw out the powerful generals of the countries. At that time, a lone cultivator wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the country!
The only way was to quickly escape to another country. However, if one followed the rules, they would have to escape from one country to the next. In the end, they would be unable to move an inch in the Demon Spirit Land. The only way was to find a place to go into closed door cultivation, but as a result, they wouldn't be able to get any military merits and would lose the chance to fuse with an ancient demon!
All of this caused all the cultivators that entered the Demon Spirit Land to find ways to obtain positions in the various countries!
As a result, they had to follow the military law, or else they would lose everything!
Wang Lin was very clear about this. If he acted without reason, it would be hard to avoid killing during the reorganization. Also, once these demon soldiers recognized one person, even if he tried to kill that person, it wouldn't solve the problem. In the end, he could only break the military law and fail the reorganization, so he could only give up!
Many powerful cultivators failed at this checkpoint. After all, after thousands of people entered and went through a series of eliminations, only a small portion of them could truly gain a foothold!
Some of the cultivators were more irritable and would directly attack demon soldiers that didn't listen to their orders. However, compared to the demon soldiers of the nine countries, cultivators were, after all, outsiders. The demon emperors of the nine countries wouldn't favor these outsiders, so when an outsider obtained a position, there would be an additional military law!
If one person didn't listen, it would be that person's responsibility, but if 10 people didn't listen, it would be the general's responsibility!
The meaning of "10" was very wide. It could be said to be a team of 10 people, or it could be said to have 10 people individually or in total, constantly giving orders!
That's why Wang Lin wasn't in a rush. He was like a hunter, he was waiting!
Waiting for an opportunity!
A chance to reorganize everything once he made his move!
Time passed quickly. Wang Lin had been meditating on the empty ground for three days. During this time, Shi San remained calm. Two days ago, Wang Lin gave him a jade slip and told him to memorize the contents inside. He had been memorizing it for the past few days.
However, Hu Pao became more and more irritable. Over the past three days, more and more demon soldiers ignored Wang Lin and company. In their eyes, this new commander was really insignificant.
But Sima Yan's vigilance grew higher and higher. He still felt like something was off. This new commander was completely out of his expectations. During these three days, not only did he not interfere with the affairs of the camp, he didn't even say a single word. He just sat there cross-legged, as if he had returned to silence.
If one of his attendants was angry and irritated, with killing intent in their eyes, then Si Mayan would be even more cautious. He wasn't afraid of them attacking him, he wasn't afraid of them getting angry, and he wasn't afraid of them interfering with the affairs of the camp. He had ways to embarrass them or even kick them out of this place. What he was truly afraid of was this unfathomable silence.
"Just what is the new Lieutenant Commander thinking …?" Sima Yan was currently in his room, and sitting in front of him were eight people. These eight people were the Lieutenant Commanders!
"Lord Commander, Xu You and Zhou Kai rarely interact with us. They didn't come to participate in Lord Commander's gathering. What do you think?" Among the eight, a burly bald man sitting to the side said in a deep voice.
This person wore black armor and gave off a dignified aura. There was a scorpion totem on his bald head. This scorpion looked extremely strange. At first glance, it looked like it was alive, and it made people feel uneasy.
Si Mayan rubbed his forehead. These three days felt like years to him. The more silent Wang Lin became, the more he felt a strong sense of danger.
"We'll talk about them later. Today, I gathered all of you here because I want to hear what you think about this new commander. We're all on the same side, so you can speak your mind!"
Si Mayan said in a low voice.
Tomorrow, there would be a little girl who would earnestly write everything down to make everyone happy.
