Chapter 613: Who dares to provoke people from a hidden sect, are they tired of living?

At this time, Li Chen looked at Tuoba Anyu, who was gently serving him, and suddenly asked: "Anyu, how much do you know about the Da Luo Dynasty to the north?"

Tuoba Anyu gently handed a peeled, crystal-clear ice grape to Li Chen's mouth and replied softly: "When I was in the Royal Court, I heard the elders in the tribe talk about it; the people of the Da Luo Dynasty are very different.

They are extremely tall and burly, with many having golden hair and blue eyes, skin as white as snow, and thick hair; their temperament is like the blizzard of the North, both brave and good at fighting, and carrying a primitive wildness.

Legend has it that their ancestors were descendants of giants who walked out of the ice fields in the extreme northern bitter cold; the desire for conquest and expansion is carved into their bones."

She paused, seemingly recalling something, and continued: "If it weren't for the natural barrier of that 'Desperate Great Snow Mountain' that stretches for ten thousand miles and is difficult for birds and beasts to cross, with the current strength and that savage energy of the Da Luo Dynasty, they would have long since launched a massive southward invasion.

When I was young, I lived on the edge of the Great Snow Mountain with my tribe for a period of time; the environment there was extremely harsh, but it also tempered the extremely resilient physique and will of the Da Luo people.

Their territory was not vast in the early years, but in the last few decades, they have been constantly conquering to the east and west, annexing countless tribes and small countries; today, their territory has expanded to a very terrifying extent, and their strength is unfathomable."

Li Chen listened to her description and pondered inwardly.

Waiting like this is indeed not a solution; there is no war on the border, so his military merit mission has no way to start.

He can't just waste time here forever, right? How can he make the Da Luo Dynasty's army take the initiative to attack?

Does he have to go to the border line and "make some trouble"? Thinking about these brain-consuming problems, Li Chen fell asleep unknowingly.

Tuoba Anyu saw this, gently blew out the lamp, lay down beside him, and carefully tucked him in.

The next day, when Li Chen arrived at the military camp, he clearly felt that the atmosphere was completely different from the past.

Wherever he passed, whether it was soldiers or low-level officers, their eyes were full of awe, curiosity, and even a trace of fear.

People in the distance pointed at him and whispered something; while those nearby, as long as they saw him coming, immediately stood straight and saluted, their movements as standard as could be.

Even those Commandants of the same rank as him, when they met, politely called him "Brother Cheng," putting their posture very low.

There was no way; that "get lost" quote he had his personal guard pass back yesterday had too much lethality.

Even Captain Zhou and Army Supervisor Wang were pointed at and cursed but didn't react; now in this Cold Iron Pass, who dared to touch this master's bad luck?

Li Chen walked to the station of the Third Garrison Battalion, and Captain Batu immediately greeted him, his attitude respectful but with a hint of caution: "Commandant Cheng, you are here. What arrangements do you have for today?"

According to the normal process, Li Chen, as the new Deputy Captain, should have his patrol or guard duties assigned by Batu.

But now, how could Batu dare to order him around? He directly let him handle it himself.

Li Chen didn't put on airs and said casually: "Just patrol. Just find a few familiar brothers to lead the way."

Batu was like receiving an amnesty, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

He immediately pointed to the few clever soldiers who had been drinking together yesterday, added a dozen more people, and formed a twenty-man patrol team, handing it over to Li Chen to lead.

The so-called patrol was to patrol various vital roads inside Cold Iron Pass, maintain order, and handle sudden situations.

Don't look at Li Chen's usual lazy and arrogant appearance, but his build was tall, his appearance handsome, and wearing this crisp military officer uniform, he had a heroic and majestic demeanor. Walking at the very front of the team, he was quite eye-catching.

The scale of Cold Iron Pass was grand, like a small city, not only with military camps, residential houses, and markets, but even some sect offices stationed here.

During the patrol, they would occasionally encounter some cultivators; if Li Chen felt the other party's actions were suspicious, he would step forward to check. ===== CHAPTER 614 =====
