Chapter 315 Tang En’s Doubts
After resolving the emergency in the small town, Tang En and Joshua returned to Stan City the next day.
Nothing happened on Old Ron's side. Tang En monitored him for half the night, and the other party drank for half the night. Finally, he was carried back to the room to rest after getting drunk.
This is also a normal result. After all, at such an age, the impulsive time has long passed. What Tang En did was cruel, but from a principle perspective, it was not wrong. As for whether he will publicize it afterwards, that is not something Tang En cares about...
After returning to Stan City, Tang En's life gradually became regular. There are mainly two things, training yourself and training others.
Xia Wei'an, Eunice, Samp... fought in succession. Although he almost died, Tang En also benefited a lot. Take advantage of this rare free time. He began to pester the old housekeeper, asking for more training.
This is not self-flagellation. Tang En already has a vague feeling that his strength has almost reached a bottleneck. Once he breaks through, it will be a different situation. At the same time, Tang En was also a little confused. This doubt mainly focuses on the system space...
The system is mainly responsible for teaching skills and issuing tasks, but what Tang En has to do is kill people. If he succeeds, the system will reward him. This seemed to be a very simple and reliable business relationship, but Tang En was vaguely confused now.
For example, Shadow Hide, after he came into contact with the inexplicable sense of space, he came up with the idea, if I can completely master this feeling and freely come and go in space, then I don't need to be limited by the skill buffer time. What's up? Or should I say that there is no need to waste blood...
There are also attack skills such as random flowers, storms, and air kills. They are not automatically released by clicking a button like in the game. These are all things Tang En learned through his own hard training. He has mastered all the body skills, techniques, etc... In this case, why should I be limited by the system? Can you create one yourself? Or maybe as long as my body can bear it, I can use it again regardless of the skill buffer time...
These thoughts were a little sudden and a little bold. I have to admit that since Tang En came to the other world, although the system has forced him to change a lot, including his personality, habits, etc., it would be a lie to say that he has no resentment. But at the same time, the system also gave him a lot of help. It can be said that if it were not for the system, Tang En would not be as smooth and simple as he imagined if he wanted to be a stable citizen in this world of jungle.
Today, Tang En has become accustomed to the existence of the system, and even relies on it vaguely. But just a few days ago, when Tang En was playing chess with Joshua, he was tricked by the old housekeeper. Afterwards, these thoughts began to pop up in his mind unstoppably. It turns out that the system is not omnipotent. It turns out that the system is not omnipotent. It can also be deceived... Could it be that when I reach the level of the old housekeeper, the system can no longer restrain me, or it can no longer control me...
Of course, these thoughts are still relatively vague, and Tang En only thinks of them when he is occasionally distracted. His main goal now is to improve his strength and strive to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible.
As for training others, that was Tang En's initiative last night.
Josiah was very enthusiastic about this matter, but in one morning, he found more than twenty people. Tang En rolled his eyes and picked out ten of them, and then taught them by category. Tracking and counter-tracking are basic common sense. Others include lurking, infiltration, and the awareness that an intelligence officer should have.
This kind of training is different from David and the others before. What Tang En wants to train this time is ten liars, ten liars who can handle any situation with ease. So they don't need to be very powerful, they just need to be smart, bold and careful.
Tang En's teaching method was also very strange. The first lesson was to teach them how to commit suicide in various situations. This made Josiah, who was watching curiously, speechless, and finally shook his head and walked away.
Tang En's regular life began. He practiced in the system at night and trained these ten people during the day. Sometimes when he needed to combine theory with practice, he took people to the city's security hall, prison, noble gatherings and other places for a walk.
Something else happened, that is, Tang En's actions in prison were finally half-covered and exposed. It wasn't what Old Ron said, but the small town prison guards, in order to shirk their responsibilities, exaggerated how the Gray Army members massacred their compatriots and so on. This incident has caused some impact, and newspapers in more than a dozen surrounding cities have reported on it.
Josiah also asked in a circumstantial way, but of course Tang En denied it, saying that he was not that kind of person. Joshua may not necessarily believe these words. She is too familiar with Tang En's character and style, and she even vaguely feels that the truth is what the newspaper said. But Tang En refused to admit it and vaguely reminded him that there was no evidence. Josiah had no choice but to let the publicity personnel counterattack, saying that the other party was shouting "catch the thief", but in the end it was nothing.
The impact of this is still there. At least during this period of time, the secret agency personnel in Stan City looked at Tang En a little strangely. Not to mention disgust, after all everyone knows that this is the principle of the institution. But the act of killing a dozen companions will inevitably make people feel a little uncomfortable.
Tang En naturally didn't care about this, and even used it as a teaching material to talk to the ten people about how to deal with it and so on. In the end, the dozen or so people agreed that they should commit suicide before being arrested. This greatly comforted Tang En, and he felt that he still had the talent to be an instructor.
One week, two weeks... time passes slowly in this regular life.
The news of the failure of the third encirclement and suppression campaign has not subsided, but its influence has indeed decreased. The war on the front line also changed somewhat during this period. A barbarian general named Tiu on the other side of the Northern Wasteland led his troops on a long-distance attack and finally captured the first heavily guarded city on Bran's side.
In fact, although this move is shocking, it will definitely not cause changes in the entire war situation. But it happened that after Natiu captured the city, he caught the personnel of the Propaganda Department who had no time to run away. In the end, he forced them to publish an issue of the newspaper and spread it to all directions. The content is of course unpleasant. In addition to praising myself highly, the rest is a provocation to Bran. All the famous generals are bullshit, and the soldiers are rubbish. Soon they will take over the entire north of Bran...
People in the mainland had mixed reactions to this, with some panicking and some scolding Bran's army for not living up to expectations. However, there is a relatively unified statement, which is to ask the Ziyi Army God to come out of Xiongguan City and suppress the arrogance of these barbarians.
There is a reason for saying this. The fighting in the north is so lively right now, but here in Xiongguan City, I don’t know whether it’s because Ziyi’s reputation is too great or something else, but the barbarians haven’t done any infringement at all. In this way, Bran's Zichen Legion, which has the highest combat power, can only stay here and circle around in boredom.
Of course, these people's speeches cannot reach the ears of the upper class. Besides, even if they knew it, Xiongguan City was the top priority in the north. No one except Zi Yi himself would dare to let him lead his troops out of Xiongguan City easily. Otherwise, once the city is broken, the lands thousands of miles to the north will be taken over by the barbarians.
…
Generally speaking, although the Bran Empire has continued troubles, there has been no qualitative change in the end. Everyone thought that this balance could be maintained for a while, but...
There are hundreds of thousands of mountains and mountain passes.
In fact, it is said to be a checkpoint, but because of the temporary construction, it is naturally not the kind in military terms. Several large felled trees blocked the middle of the mountain road, and a dozen armed soldiers stood guard leaning against the trees in boredom. There are several military tents nearby, with about a hundred soldiers inside.
There are many such crude checkpoints in Shiwandashan, especially after the failure of the third siege. They guard the roads leading from the mountains to the outside. The specific purpose is of course not to guard these barren mountains, but the gray-clothed army garrison inside. The only difference may be that this level is at the front, so there are more soldiers guarding it.
It was the same noon, with the bleak sun in the sky. The same barren mountains are clustered together, and the cold wind is blowing.
Everything was as usual, and these soldiers were talking nonsense as usual, waiting for the changing of the guard time to come, and then got into the tent and gambled with others... There was no way, life here was really boring, even for officers, We can only turn a blind eye to this obvious violation of military camp regulations.
At this moment, step, step, step...
A soldier suddenly frowned, looked at the foot of the mountain in front of him, looked again, turned around and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
"Sound? What sound?"
"It seems a little bit, the ground is shaking a little."
"Really? This barren mountain... isn't going to be affected by an earthquake?"
"Bah, you crow's mouth!" A man who looked like a captain was immediately annoyed and slapped the soldier on the back of the head.
"Hey, look at my bad mouth... Well, I'll climb up the mountain and have a look." The soldier also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he tightened his armor and braved the cold wind and walked towards the hill next to him.
The hill was not too high. In less than ten minutes, the soldier successfully climbed to the top. Then his body suddenly shook and he looked forward blankly.
On the long mountain road, countless people wearing all kinds of armors and holding various weapons are stepping towards this side. It looked a bit complicated. The soldier was looking down from a high position, and it seemed as if a colorful ribbon wrapping around the mountains appeared in front of him. But it is undeniable that these people have a very good spirit. They walk neatly, silently, and have an indomitable momentum.
"Hey, are you stupid? What are you looking at?" The people below became impatient and shouted loudly.
"Grey gray gray gray gray gray clothes...ah!" The soldier trembled with his lips and turned around quickly. Just as he was about to shout a warning, he unexpectedly rolled down the hill due to the wind under his feet.
"Haha..." The people below couldn't help but laugh loudly when they saw the embarrassment.
This hill can be climbed directly, and the slope is naturally very steep. Even if it rolls down, no one will be killed. And because of this method, the soldier went down the mountain much faster.
Within two minutes, there was a bang, and the soldier successfully rolled back to the mountain road. Regardless of his nose and eyes, he ran towards the tent, shouting loudly and loudly as he ran: "The gray-clothed army is coming, the gray-clothed army is coming." Coming to kill..."
"Haha, look how scared that kid is, the gray-robed army... uh, the gray-robed army!!!"
