Lu Li lived comfortably in the castle for more than 10 days. Hou San lived a carefree life with Lu Li. Hou San even hooked up with a maid.
Lu Li could tell that the maid was not a good person. The two of them fooled around and had sex every night.
The fact that they were maids indicated that they were of low status and had no self-respect. Otherwise, they wouldn't be reduced to this state.
The other three maids pretended to be decent but they often flirted with Lu Li.
It was because Lu Li didn't pay attention that the maid went to hook up with Hou San.
Lu Li was the owner of the castle. If she could hook up with Lu Li, she could become his wife and get rid of her status. Unfortunately, Lu Li didn't take the bait.
On the 18th day, Lu Li's new appointment came. Lu Li was surprised and so was Hou San. Lu Li was appointed as the new commander of the captive camp.
They had finally escaped from the captive camp and now they had to go back again. But this time, Lu Li was going back as the commander, replacing Momo.
Was there any need for the captive camp to exist when all the captives had escaped?
What was Lu Li doing in the prisoner camp? Was he going to guard that empty camp?
"Brother Lu, I know what you are worried about!"
It was Huo Dong who came to deliver the order. He said with a smile, "The Scorch Mines are very important to the Hell Palace. Even if there are no captives there, we will arrange for warriors to mine there.
This time, they had captured some prisoners of war and also transferred some prisoners of war from Hell City over. Maintaining normal operations would not be a problem.
Also, the Hell City has sent two patriarchs who are nearing the end of their lives to guard you.
There are no powerful warriors among the captives. You will be easy to manage. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. Although he was called a commander, he was actually just an assistant. It was the two dying patriarchs who were actually guarding the captive camp. Lu Li was only in charge of daily affairs.
This time, a thousand soldiers were transferred from the Hell Palace. Together with the soldiers who had escaped from the valley, there were a total of one thousand eight hundred soldiers.
There were no powerful warriors among the captives but there were still two powerful ones. It was quite comfortable to stay in the captive camp.
Lu Li had made a great contribution by saving the Immortal Lady. Even though he had cultivated the Supreme Immortal Body and could fight at the peak of the third tribulation, it was not easy to assign him.
What was more, Lu Li had just joined the Hell Palace. The higher-ups didn't dare to give him an important position.
"There will be a deputy commander, right?"
Lu Li asked a critical question. He had never held any position in the Hell Palace before.
Would the Underworld Palace feel at ease letting him lead a place?
There must be someone assisting him, or … someone monitoring him.
"Yes, there's a deputy commander. He's an old man who used to be the captain of the City Defense Camp!"
Huo Dong smiled and said to Lu Li in a low voice, "Brother Lu, don't worry. Nobody dares to make things difficult for you.
The Goddess is still recuperating from her injuries. She'll probably make a special trip here to thank you once she recovers. You'll definitely be put in an important position again. "
"Uh …"
Lu Li was embarrassed. He didn't want the Immortal Lady to come over. Once Su Yueqin came, nothing good would come out of it. She might beat him up.
After sending Huo Dong off, Hou San immediately leaned over with a face full of joy. He cupped his fists and said, "Boss, congratulations. Gold will shine wherever it is. I originally thought that Boss would need at least a few years to rise, but I didn't expect that you would become a commander in such a short time. I reckon that you will soon become an elder.
Eh … Boss, you don't seem very happy? "
Lu Li didn't show any emotion. He didn't pay attention to Hou San either. He was in a dilemma.
He didn't want to stay at the Devil Sea forever. Once he took over the position, it would be hard for him to get out.
Would he have to stay at the Hell Island for years or even decades?
"I'll stay here for now!"
After a while, Lu Li made up his mind. He would stay in the captive camp. When he mastered the Dragon Wrestling Skill, his abilities would soar. By then, he could find a way to leave the Hell Island.
It had been a long time. The Pure Heaven Blood Eagle Race wouldn't come after him anymore, would they?
"I will cultivate in seclusion. Also, I will find a way to ask for information about Qin Zhan, Gan Lin and the old man."
Lu Li looked at Hou San. This Hou San was a good choice. Lu Li would find a way to earn some Divine Stones so that he could ask Hou San for information.
Lu Li thought about it for a day. The next day, he took Hou San to the Hall of Internal Affairs to meet Master Chen and his assistant.
Master Chen was a strong middle-aged man. He was not young and he was at the peak of the third tribulation. He was quite dignified.
"Greetings, Commander Lu!"
The deputy commander's name was Li Jin. He seemed to be polite but he was arrogant inside. Clearly, he was not convinced.
He had been working at the Hell Palace for almost a hundred years and he was only a deputy commander.
Lu Li looked young but he was more powerful than Li Jin. More importantly, Lu Li was only at the Second Tribulation Realm.
Supreme Immortal Body?
There were many in the world that cultivated the Supreme Immortal Body. But how many of them had mastered it?
As far as Li Jin could tell, Lu Li was on the wrong path and had no future. Li Jin had doubts about Lu Li's abilities as well.
Lu Li nodded and didn't pay much attention to Li Jin. This made Li Jin even angrier but he couldn't do anything.
They went out and teleported to the captive camp.
Lu Li exclaimed that he was back in the valley again.
After so many twists and turns, he was back. This time, many familiar faces were gone. In their place were many new ones.
There weren't many captives here. But all the troops were here. They were standing on the plaza, waiting for Lu Li.
"Greetings, Commander Lu. Greetings, Commander Li!"
A group of warriors dropped to one knee, saluted, and shouted. Lu Li glanced over and saw a familiar face. Yellow-tooth was not killed. He was back with the team and he was the team leader.
"Let's go. Get back to work."
What surprised Lu Li was — before he could say anything, Li Jin had overstepped his authority and gave the order. He was dignified and had an extraordinary bearing. Many warriors stood up out of instinct and were about to leave.
"Whoosh!"
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. He swung his arm and slapped at Li Jin's face.
Li Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Li would dare to hit him.
Lu Li was so fast that Li Jin was smashed away before he could react.
"Boom!"
Lu Li used 60 to 70 percent of his strength in this move. Some of Li Jin's teeth were knocked out. His face was swollen like a pig's head. He rolled on the ground and spat out blood when he crawled up.
Hou San was dumbfounded. Yellow-tooth and the others were dumbfounded. Many warriors were dumbfounded.
What was this new commander doing?
He slapped a deputy commander as soon as he arrived?
He didn't have to slap a deputy commander even if he wanted to show his power.
"Courting death!"
Li Jin flew into a rage. Lu Li slapped him in front of so many warriors had driven him mad. He took out a long sword and was about to charge at Lu Li.
"Are you the commander here or am I?"
Lu Li didn't move. He looked at Li Jin coldly and shouted, "Are you going against your superior?
Someone, if Li Jin wants to make a move, kill him. "
Military orders were like mountains, and these soldiers were used to obeying orders. Many soldiers involuntarily wanted to take out their weapons. Yellow-tooth's eyes turned, and he took out his weapon and locked it on Li Jin. With a murderous aura, he shouted, "We obey the commander's orders!"
"Yes, commander!"
