Chapter 3
The third-rank warrior was exchanging his life for a master of the acquired realm?
Even if Ning Fan thought about it now, he still found it incredible.
The right time, right place, and right people, plus the carelessness of the acquired realm master, all these factors added up to the final result of Ning Fan’s life exchanging his life.
Otherwise, even if Ning Fan was given a hundred times, he would not be able to chop off the other party’s head.
It was so close!
Ning Fan breathed a sigh of relief again.
At the same time, more memories were gradually restored. After half an hour, Ning Fan finally received it completely, and his face was also very complicated.
The body he traveled through was named Ning Fan. He came from a wealthy family. A year ago, a general under the King of Zhenbei took a fancy to his family property.
After that, he falsely accused the Ning family of rebellion, and then the family was confiscated with justification. His parents were killed, and he was exiled to the army and became a slave.
More than half a month ago, the Beimang broke through the pass, and the court and the country were shocked. Emperor Tiande sent 100,000 troops to defend the northern border, but then they were defeated. Now there are only more than 20,000 troops left.
If this news was passed back to the capital, the high and mighty Emperor Tiande would probably be so angry that the three corpse gods jumped.
“It’s a chaotic world from the beginning!”
Ning Fan murmured in his heart.
However, there was no worry in his eyes, but full of joy.
The Great Zhou, where he was, was an 800-year-old dynasty, and it was now close to collapse. The Emperor Tiande, who had ruled the Great Zhou for 49 years, was gradually unable to control this huge country.
There are two dynasties outside, treacherous ministers in power, princes fighting for the throne, and all the forces in the world are waiting for changes, and they may stretch out their fangs at any time to tear off a piece of meat from the old dynasty.
Another example is now that the Northern Mang has broken through the pass, Emperor Tiande is suspicious of the King of Zhenbei and dares not let him grow stronger. He left 300,000 tigers and wolves unused and dispatched 100,000 troops from afar.
The result was a miserable defeat!
Tsk tsk.
In this environment, his God of Killing system is just right. If he was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, it would not be so easy for him to rise to the top with the help of the system.
“Right now, what I need to do is to get rid of my status as a slave!”
Ning Fan began to calculate his future in his heart.
Now he is a slave and was sent to the army, but he can make merit and regain his status as a good person. He needs to kill more than 100 enemies on the battlefield.
Breaking 100 is an extremely difficult thing for ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, it is even more difficult to fight against an extremely powerful enemy army like Beimang.
But it is not a difficult task for Ning Fan.
“It’s just a pity that no spoils were taken during the battle!”
Ning Fan frowned.
Killing more than 100 enemies is not just talk, it requires evidence, and this evidence is the enemy’s left ear, one ear is a life.
On the battlefield just now, he killed at least dozens of enemy soldiers, but it’s a pity that he didn’t cut off their ears.
Only by getting rid of the lowly status and obtaining the good status can he make merit in the army and continue to be promoted.
Then serve this old and foolish dynasty?
Ning Fan doesn’t have this idea.
What he wants to do is very simple, first revenge.
The general who served under the King of Zhenbei will eventually pay for his blood debt with blood!
As for the future, he, a guy who traveled through time, was not interested in being a lackey of those dignitaries in the court. If he wanted to be, he had to stand above the nine heavens!
Ambition began to grow wildly.
However, Ning Fan quickly put away his thoughts. He knew one thing very well: you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time, especially in this chaotic world.
In the evening.
Ning Fan and others who were resting against the wall were suddenly called out by a group of soldiers.
“All the lowly people, stand up!”
A centurion shouted in a deep voice.
Then, less than a hundred people stood up sparsely in the crowd. After a big battle, even the regular soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army suffered heavy casualties, not to mention the lowly people who were exiled.
“That’s all?”
“Thousands of lowly people, all dead?”
The centurion looked at the few people in front of him and was obviously dissatisfied.
However, he also knew how tragic this battle was, so he didn’t say anything else and left with Ning Fan and the others.
In the city, in a mansion.
Liu Futong, the commander of the Southern Expedition Army, was sitting with a dark look on his face. He was a general appointed by Emperor Tiande and a third-rank official. He only needed to stop the attack of the Northern Mang and return to the capital to be promoted to the second rank.
At this moment, a disastrous defeat would not only end his career, but it was also very likely that he would die.
“General, people are coming.”
Someone brought Ning Fan and others over.
Liu Futong looked up and glanced at the people in front of him, frowning immediately: “Why are there only so many? Are all the other lowly people dead?”
What answered him was deathly silence.
Liu Futong took a deep breath, veins on his forehead throbbing. He stood up and came to Ning Fan and others, his eyes scanning and lingering on Ning Fan for a moment.
“Right now, there is something you need to do!”
Liu Futong’s words did not cause anyone to respond at all.
These lowly people were all dejected, as if they had lost their parents, and many of them were even injured and almost dead.
“Although we lost this battle, it was not because of us.”
“This is the northern border, under the jurisdiction of the King of Zhenbei. When our army arrived, it was like a headless fly, just constantly flying around, which led to the great defeat.”
“So, there is still a chance to turn the tide!”
“The Beimang army will surely be arrogant and unprepared after winning, so this general wants you to leave the city at night and enter the Beimang grassland to find out the situation of the Beimang army.”
Boom! ! !
As soon as these words came out, the group of lowly people standing below were all like thunder, their faces pale.
Asking them to find out the situation of the Beimang army?
This is asking them to die!
The Beimang army is strong and powerful, and in addition to the central army, there are many roving troops who are constantly harassing the northern border to attract the eyes of the army of the southern expedition and confuse their minds.
It can be said that once you step into the Beimang grassland, it means that you are like a sheep walking into a tiger’s mouth.
Let alone the less than 100 lowly people, even if there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers, they would not dare to say that they could escape unscathed.
“General, you must not do that!”
“Please spare my life, General!”
Many people knelt down and cried bitterly.
Ning Fan’s eyes were cold. Liu Futong in front of him did not treat them as human beings.
“How dare you!”
Liu Futong looked at the people kneeling on the ground in front of him and was furious.
“You lowly people are already dying. Now I let you go to find out the military situation and give our main force a chance to breathe. This is a gift to you!”
“Don’t be ungrateful. Set off in half an hour. Those who disobey orders will die!”
Liu Futong shouted angrily.
He was afraid that the Beimang Army would attack again at night, so he let these lowly people go out as scouts to find out the military situation.
He was reluctant to sacrifice the regular soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army, so he had to sacrifice these lowly people.
