Chapter 43: Like-Minded

  Arriving at the gate of the camp, Yong Ruo let go and clasped his fists: "Master, thank you for escorting me along the way. I'll take my leave now, farewell."

  Lu Guoyong's lips moved slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  Not far from the exit, Lao Da Lin Wei led over a hundred people to welcome him. Seeing that Ying Tian Long was unharmed, they all cheered. However, Ying Tian Long's face was gloomy as he said to Lin Wei: "You immediately notify the leaders of each medium and small team to come to the mountain cave for a meeting. Also, the camp needs to strengthen its vigilance, dispatch more people, from now on change the daily patrol shift from one to three shifts, and add personnel to all sentry posts, ready to enter first-level combat readiness at any time."

  Lao Da Lin Wei looked at Ying Tian Long's serious expression and was also startled, immediately responding: "Eldest Master, yes sir."

  The meeting room in the cave was blown up, so Tian Long simply had it expanded into a large conference room that could hold dozens of people. There was no round table in the middle, and everyone sat in a circle. All the tea and water were dispensed with. More than a dozen leaders from the "Whirlwind Camp" arrived on time, all sitting upright and solemnly, none daring to speak loudly.

  Ying Tianlong and Lao Da Lin Wei walked in, followed by Lao Er Qin Ming. Ying Tianlong, who had never been so serious before, had eyes that seemed to be spewing fire, his fists clenched with a cracking sound, making people feel that if his enemy was in front of him at this moment, he would definitely punch him to the point of brain explosion.

  Ying Tianlong didn't sit, but stood in the middle, looking around and said in a deep tone: "Today I went to 'Hei Feng Ying' with Wang Qing, originally we wanted to ask Luo Guoyong to open a path for us to enter the primeval forest to cut wood. But what he did was set up a feast, his men surrounded us, wanting me to be his second-in-command, disband 'Xuan Feng Ying', and turn all of you into his slaves. Luckily, Wang Qing and I were prepared early on and managed to escape."

  The people below were furious and shouted: "Bastard, hooligan."

  "Kill him, kill him, kill this little man Luo Guoyong."

  "An old saying says that if someone comes but doesn't go, it's impolite. Since Luo Guoyong has already turned against us, I, Ying Tianlong, am not someone to be trifled with either. All of you brothers know that the 'Black Wind Camp' has been riding roughshod over us for a long time, thinking they can control the 'Whirlwind Camp' just because they control the water source. That's outdated. Just because Li Jiao didn't dare provoke him doesn't mean I, Ying Tianlong, don't dare either. The rules of Duoming Island need to be changed."

  Everyone was staring at Ying Tianlong, and they were all shocked by his aura. Lao Da Lin Wei nodded on the side, compared to Li Jiao who came first, who is the real master of "Xuan Feng Ying", it's self-evident. This is a man who would use his own shoulders to hold up the sky if it fell, what kind of situation could stump him, what kind of threat could intimidate him? None. Being with someone like this, even dying would be worthwhile.

  It's not just Lin Wei who thinks so, but also those below him who admire their helmsman.

  "The master of the house, you say what to do and we'll listen." someone said.

  "Alright, alright, we'll listen to you." The crowd shouted in unison.

  "Alright, I've been waiting for these words. With these words, my heart is even more at ease. Brothers, sharpen your spears and polish your steel knives. From today on, we are no longer turtles hiding in our shells. We will be like war horses charging forward, bravely advancing to destroy Luo Guo's 'Black Wind Camp', seize his water source, forest, land, and his women. Do you all have confidence?"

  "Yes, yes, yes!"

  "Now I'll assign tasks. Eldest brother Lin Wei, listen up."

  Arrived.

  "You are in charge of preparing the firearms and equipment, making sure everyone has a weapon in their hands. If not spears or big knives, even a wooden stick will do. Also, prepare more shields, they must be sturdy enough to withstand the impact of small stones."

  "I understand."

  "Second Brother Qin Ming obeys orders."

  Arrived.

  "Assemble the troops, remember, I want elite soldiers, the old, weak, sick and disabled are not allowed to go into battle this time, can't just go die in vain. Select the capable warriors from the two battalions to await my orders, ready to engage in combat at any moment."

  "Yes."

  "Old Third Chui Dahong obeys orders."

  "In."

  "Your mission is of the utmost importance, from today on you will be in charge of guarding the camp, not even a fly can be allowed to fly in. As long as you hold the camp, we won't have any worries and can attack 'Black Wind Camp' with all our might."

  "Yes."

  "Fourth Brother Yin Tao obeys orders."

  "In."

  Ying Tianlong looked at him and suddenly said, "You go down first, I'll find you alone in a while. You are the master craftsman here, whether this battle can be won or not, you are the key person. At that time, take out your secret weapon, enough to make Luo Guoyong drink a pot."

  "Old Five Wang Xiaofeng is listening."

  "Yes."

  "You are our 'Whirlwind Troop's' 'Kasino', the American movie 'Garrison Daredevil Squad' I believe everyone has seen, there is a safe-cracker terminator 'Kasino' inside, we also have a 'Kasino' here, but I don't want you to steal or pry, there's nothing worth stealing. Luo Guoyong's residence compared to the original Li Jiao's is much more humble. Since you claim to be a god thief, your memory won't go wrong, your task is that once we engage in battle, you must remember and report back to me the enemy's firepower deployment, the more detailed the better."

  "Understood, you take care of it then." Wang Xiaofeng replied.

  "Old Six Dong Liang obeys orders."

  "In."

  "Lao Liu has been feeling down lately, and I don't have any more tasks to assign to you. You should understand that in your heart. However, as Tian Long uses people without suspicion, and suspects those who are not used. Now, I'm giving you a task: lead a team of men to harass the defenses around Luo Guo's swimming area, but do not launch a real attack. Just make some noise and then change locations, making it so that they are on high alert and can't even sleep peacefully. Your mission will be accomplished."

  "I understand."

  "Each of you squad leaders, this time I won't assign tasks to you. You'll follow the main team's actions, but you're still the captains of your respective squads, and the head of your troops. As the saying goes, 'one brave soldier can make a whole army brave'. If you're afraid of death, then your soldiers will be no better off either. Brothers, if anyone wants to back out now, it's still possible. But if you flee in battle, you'll be executed on the spot."

  "I understand."

  Ying Tianlong turned his head and said to Wang Qing: "You just stay with Lao San to guard the camp, it's not your turn to fight and kill yet."

  Wang Qing said, "I've been to 'Hei Feng Ying' before, the geography is still familiar, putting me in the back shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

  Ying Tianlong smiled: "Wang Qing, you're talking a bit too big, if we talk about familiarity with the terrain, there are more people in 'Xuanfeng Camp' who understand it than you do. Old Lin Wei and Old Dong Liang have both been to 'Heifeng Camp', and even slept with the women inside. Jiao Feng, the miss from 'Come Kiss Me' bar, was originally from 'Heifeng Camp'. These two families are too familiar with each other, so they don't dare to make any rash moves."

  Wang Qing had nothing to say.

  "But you still have things to attend to, you're in charge of the logistics support for 'Whirlwind Troop' from now on."

  "Alright."

  "Brothers, I'm giving you two days to prepare. During these two days, the entire camp will be under lockdown, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will. If anyone dares to disobey orders, I'll consider it as if you're trying to sneak out to send a message, which is treason. The punishment for treason is severe. You probably haven't forgotten that Old Seven Gu Yonghui once flayed the skin off a living person just because he had secretly left the camp. This is an extraordinary time, and we need to take extraordinary measures. Do you all understand?"

  "I understand."

  "Alright, today's meeting is adjourned."

  Ying Tianlong left behind Lao Wu Yin Tao.

  Yin Tao seemed to know what Ying Tianlong was going to say and asked before he could speak: "Master, are you thinking of having me manufacture cannons?"

  Tianlong smiled: "It's almost as good as a cannon. However, if you want to make a cannon, I won't object. It's just that we don't have the materials."

  "It's not possible to make a cannon that can fire, you think I'm an arms dealer? However, the ancient army's catapults are not difficult to manufacture, and the principle is similar to modern grenade launchers. One relies on gunpowder to launch, while the other relies on manual throwing."

  "That's right, that's what I want. Your Thunderstone effect is good, think about it, if you throw the Thunderstone like a shell and explode, what would be the effect? It will scare them to death." Tian Long said.

  Yin Tao looked at him, Yin Tao's eyes were very strange, and Ying Tianlong felt a little unsure. He asked: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

  Yin Tao smiled: "You are indeed a figure, with the demeanor of a great general. No wonder Commander Feng said to me, you just need to take care of his safety and help him with all your might at critical moments. I think I've done that."

  This made Ying Tianlong surprised, Ying Tianlong looked at him for a long time, suddenly grasped his hand tightly: "Comrade, good comrade, with the same ideals and morals. You hide deeply, also very cunning."

  Yin Tao's face turned red, and he lightly punched him: "Is there anyone who speaks like you? I'm old and cunning, but you're ruthless and cruel, killing five people in one go, with a heart as black as coal."

  "Haha......" The two people burst out laughing together.
