OBS Chapter 327 Level 1 Alert
Chapter 327 Level 1 Alert
"What did you say, Old Wei? What did the boss hunt in Wolong Bay?" Aunt Liu couldn't believe her ears and confirmed with Old Wei again.
"Isn't it a big snake? I remember the poisonous snake on the other side of the Chiwei River is called Xiao Qinglong!" Hu the bricklayer interrupted.
Old Wei blinked and answered truthfully, "It's dragon meat. Genuine dragon meat."
"Really?" Shen Cuiyun couldn't help but ask.
She had seen her husband hunt small green dragons, golden pythons and other large snakes, but this was the first time she had heard of a dragon.
"Sister-in-law, I wouldn't dare lie to anyone else but you."
As Lao Wei spoke, he called out to the soldiers, and they worked together to move several pieces of strange-looking meat from the carriage, and placed them on the ground in front of the warehouse with some difficulty.
Those big pieces of meat looked like sausages that had been magnified countless times. Now that they were put together by everyone, and with the addition of a huge and ferocious head, wasn't it the bloody corpse of a dragon?
"This is just a juvenile dragon. The leaders of the ten major sects have gone to hunt the adult dragon. The boss asked us to transport this thing back first."
Old Wei proudly recounted Chen Changfan's heroic deeds in Wolong Bay, which stunned everyone present.
"As expected of the boss, I didn't expect him to fight so hard."
"The boss's ruthlessness was already evident back in Qingshan County, but you're only realizing it now."
Although Hu the bricklayer, Aunt Liu and others did not quite understand the supernatural professions such as warriors, sorcerers and Confucian scholars, they could at least imagine that any one of the top ten sects in Qinghe County would be enough to destroy the bandits in Qingshan County several times.
The boss had just arrived, but he was able to kill the dragon while surrounded by a pack of wolves.
"The boss is still as strong as ever. I used to go fishing with him, and we always came back with a full catch."
"Old Wei and his gang are not bad either. They must have faced many pursuers along the way, but they were able to break through and bring back the dragon meat."
Hearing this, Old Wei also felt a little embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "It is all thanks to the bravery of the soldiers, and the protection of Brother Black Horn and Master Deng."
Everyone looked at him. Hei Jiao rubbed his head sheepishly, grinning innocently. Deng Jiuxian, standing beside him, shook his empty gourd and said, "Oh, my mouth feels a little dry..."
"Hurry up and serve tea to Master Deng!" Shen Cuiyun ordered hurriedly.
"Ahem, I don't want to drink tea..." Deng Jiuxian suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"You drunkard, give Master Deng a few jugs of good wine!" Aunt Liu gave Deng Jiuxian a cold look, and the latter immediately smiled.
The soldiers standing by were dumbfounded. It was the first time they saw someone drinking wine as if it were water.
"Hurry up and let the soldiers go and rest. You have all worked hard on this trip. Go find Steward Shen later and collect your 10 taels reward each."
10 taels of silver!
Not a small amount.
But Xiaofengzhuang can afford it, and these soldiers fought to the death, so this money is what they deserve.
This is just a reward for ordinary soldiers, not including those who were injured during the escort and those who have made meritorious contributions.
Xiaofengzhuang has very strict rules for the reward and punishment system, and Shen Wanwu will naturally reward people based on their merits according to these rules.
People like Lao Wei, Hei Jiao, Deng Jiuxian and others will definitely receive a lot of rewards, while people like the short sergeant and the sergeant with thick eyebrows will also receive satisfactory rewards and have opportunities for promotion.
It was under such a reward system that the soldiers of Xiaofengzhuang fought bravely and fearlessly, and gradually formed the momentum of a mighty army.
"Report! A large number of disciples from various sects have gathered in the four major markets in the city and are heading towards us. They look very aggressive and I'm afraid they are here for the dragon meat."
The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad came panting to report, which immediately diluted the joy of catching the dragon, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
The disciples from the four major sects in the market town came out together. This scene was enough to scare people no matter where it was.
"What should we do? The people in the four major markets are all controlled by the ten major sects, and now they are coming towards us." A woman immediately looked uneasy.
On the contrary, the soldiers of Xiaofeng Village were very excited. "What are you afraid of? Let's grab our weapons and fight them!"
Old Wei raised his hand and pressed it lightly, signaling everyone to stay calm. Now that Chen Changfan was not around, they all had to listen to Shen Cuiyun's opinion first.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Cuiyun's face was solemn, but she had seen many ups and downs in the past few days, so she was not panicked by such a difficult situation.
She quickly recalled some tips her man had taught her before, and suddenly felt much more at ease.
She glanced at the crowd and said in a steady voice, "I hereby declare Yongxin Street officially on Level One Alert. Old Wei, immediately mobilize the Firearm Battalion and bring the artillery here. Position them around this warehouse. Also, pile up the grenades and explosives here. Butler Shen, take your men to close the market and quickly evacuate the customers. The rest of you, follow my orders and move the grenades and gunpowder around the warehouse."
Under Shen Cuiyun's arrangement, everyone's faces showed serious expressions and they became busy.
Level 1 alert status is a concept given by Chen Changfan, which means that the situation is extremely critical and the enemy may attack at any time.
However, seeing Shen Cuiyun's arrangement, everyone was a little confused.
Since it is a level one alert state, shouldn't we send soldiers out to meet the enemy?
Why are muskets and cannons piled up around the warehouse? These are dangerous firearms and may explode if not handled with care. At that time, the whole street would probably be in trouble.
Little did they know that this was exactly what Shen Cuiyun meant by this arrangement.
Concentrate all explosives at the core guard post. If a strong enemy attacks here, pull the fuse directly and die together with the enemy.
This kind of fighting style was naturally difficult to understand in the minds of these people in ancient times, but this was also what Chen Changfan had instructed before, and Shen Cuiyun executed it without any hesitation.
According to my man, the essence of this style of play is deterrence.
We must hold on to the idea of dying together so that the enemy will not dare to attack easily.
In this situation, all the enemies in the four major markets have come out, but they have very limited military forces, and Yongxin Street has no strategic location to defend. If the enemy wants to attack and snatch the dragon's corpse, it will be difficult to resist.
After all, this is inside the county town of Qinghe County, and it is likely to be a street battle. Artillery cannot play any advantage at all. It is better to pile them together and treat them as a powder keg, and detonate them directly when forced to do so.
Seeing everyone busying themselves, Shen Cuiyun couldn't help but feel nervous. She could only hope that this intimidation tactic could give her a chance of survival.
As for the idea of handing over the dragon's body, Shen Cuiyun and everyone in Xiaofeng Village had never even thought about it.
This is the dragon meat that Chen Changfan fought hard to hunt. If he gives it away so easily, he will probably not be able to gain a foothold in this county town in the future.
