Chapter 168: Hero or cowards


The next morning, after rising early, Lin Mu Yu wore the armour of the temple’s golden sparring master, which was one mounted with buoyancy stones. If there was a difference from before, it would be the dark blue clothes underneath the armour, which was the uniform of a senior general. This dark blue cloth was very durable and there were two badges attached to the collar. One was a golden purple yin flower while the other was a single star, representing the rank of a thousand man commander. Feng Ji Xing’s golden purple yin flower had three stars on it. This was the empire’s military hierarchy, a thousand man commander had one star, a ten thousand man commander had two stars, and commanders had three stars. Even the country’s marshal…..could be known through this hierarchy.


Along the way, there were girls lined up with some having tears on their faces. When they saw Lin Mu Yu wearing his temple battle armour move past on his horse, there was a girl that came out and said with a soft voice, “Are you sir Envoy Lin Yan?”


Lin Mu Yu turned around and his face had a smile like a gentle spring breeze as he said, “Lin Yan is not my true identity, I am the temple’s Lin Mu Yu, the commander of the Imperial Guard’s Falcon Nest. I have come to the Swordsman Hall headquarters to destroy it.”


The girl was stunned before she revealed a smile, “Many thanks sir Lin Mu Yu. If it wasn’t for you, I would have spent my entire life in humiliation.”


“No need to be courteous, this is what our country’s military should do.” Lin Mu Yu cupped his hands before moving away.


Chu Huai Sheng held the reins as he caught up and said with a smile, “I’m afraid not every member of the royal army thinks this way……”


Lin Mu Yu gave a grin, “I know!”


“Ha, ha.”


In the afternoon, arriving in Orchid Goose City, Wei Chou led the Falcon Nest’s group back up the mountain. Lin Mu Yu rode his horse alone into Orchid Goose City, arriving at the mercenary guild in the late afternoon. There were many warriors who had just come from taverns with the scent of wine around them looking for jobs, as well as many young masters walking around with dignified looks on their faces.


When Lin Mu Yu came in with his temple battle dress, he attracted the attention of many people. A monkey faced mercenary guild staff came over and said with a smile, “This sir, I wonder what duties do you have to issue to our mercenary guild? Protection, or…..killing and looting?”


Lin Mu Yu softly said, “No killing. I want to ask, is there a member of the Dragon Courage Camp here?”


“Oh?”


“Yes, yes…..Ha, ha, idiot from the Dragon Courage Camp, come over here! There’s someone looking for you!”


At this time, large bearded man in the corner put down his wine cup. He picked up the battle axe on the table and said with a laugh, “Who’s looking for grandfather? Let me see…..”


There was a mercenary badge on his chest which was the badge of the Dragon Courage Camp. It was the design personally modified by Luo Yu, with a dragon in the front and the three chinese words Dragon Courage Camp behind it.


(Author’s note: Please don’t ask me why they use chinese characters. My explanation is that the chinese language is profound, penetrating the planes and teaching itself to the mortals of this Fragmented Cauldron Plane.)


The large man was clearly drunk, swaying as he held the battle axe and walked in front of Lin Mu Yu. Raising one brow, he said, “Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”


Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help being a bit speechless. He asked, “You are a member of the Dragon Courage Camp? If you are, bring me to see your vice captain Luo Yu.”


“Humph, you want to see sir Luo Yu? Ask my battle axe first…..” This drunk man’s eyes were glazed over. He saw that Lin Mu Yu was wearing the armour of a senior general and chopped down at him.


Lin Mu Yu was stunned, what kind of person was this! However, this large man’s true qi was very vigorous, it seemed like he was in the Earth Realm First Layer. He had strength, but he was lacking in character. That’s wrong, it was because of the wine, this was a drunkard!


The surrounding people came to look at the fight, each one with their eyes wide open.


Lin Mu Yu did not attack. He moved to the side and moved two steps back before gently lifting his arm, covering his palm in battle qi. He caught the battle axe’s blade in his hand and suddenly pulled back. Don’t look at the difference in height between him and the bearded large men, he was much stronger than him. He directly pulled down large man’s battle axe and lifted his knee, slamming it into the large man’s abdomen.


“Ah……”


The large man immediately held his stomach as he kneeled down, vomiting large amounts, throwing up almost all the wine he had drank, half sobering him up. When he looked at the temple battle armour Lin Mu Yu was wearing, he immediately understood. He cupped his hands and said, “Are you….sir Lin Mu Yu?”


“Embarrassing…..Bring me to see Luo Yu…..”


“Yes…..Yes!”


The two of them quickly left, leaving behind a stunned crowd. Many people had not even come back to their senses. After a while, a mercenary with a saber said in a trembling voice, “That brat…..seems to be a Heaven Realm expert. I saw battle qi…..”


“Heaven Realm…..God, Heaven Realm…..”


The group of people seemed like they had seen a ghost.


Exiting Orchid Goose City, they arrived out a ruined yard in the jungle outside the city. The bearded large man respectfully said, “Sir commander, this yard has already been abandoned for a long time and people rarely come here, so sir Luo Yu decided to set the temporary Dragon Courage Camp’s camp here.”


“How many people have we recruited so far?” Lin Mu Yu asked from the back of his horse.


The large man walked forward as he carried his large axe. With a grin, he said, “It should be around sixty people? This year…..although there are many warriors in Orchid Goose City, they are all people that haven’t even stepped into the Human Realm. It’s a bit harder to find experts above the Human Realm, it wasn’t easy for sir Luo Yu to find over fifty people in just half a month.”


Lin Mu Yu nodded. To put it in another way, the reason why they could recruit so many people was because of money. His hundred thousand gold yin coins had not been given in vain.



Outside the ruined courtyard, there was a flag swaying in the wind. It was a very simple banner and the words Dragon Courage Camp was written on it. There was basically no one patrolling outside.


When Lin Mu Yu entered the yard, he saw people scattered all around. Some were smoking, some were drinking, and there were even some gambling with dice. Looking at these people, the youngest was around seventeen-eighteen and the oldest was over forty. Some had short sleeves, some were wearing shorts, and there were even two that had taken off their shirts, comparing who was more muscular. Their faces were red and neither of them would give up.


Lin Mu Yu’s heart felt a bit of awkwardness. He had come from the modern era and had seen milk dance before, but he had never seen men dancing like this. Seeing the scene in the courtyard, he didn’t know how to feel!


“Someone’s coming!”


A mercenary sat up on a tree branch and said, “Quickly look, it’s a high ranking official, he must be here to investigate us. Brothers, let’s prepare to investigate this fellow!”


Instantly, a group of fierce looking mercenaries surrounded Lin Mu Yu.


Lin Mu Yu stayed on his horse and looked at the crowd with a smile as he said, “What do you want to do? Do you want to beat me or kill me?”


A spear wielding man shook his weapon which had true qi condensed on the tip. He said with a smile, “We’re not hitting or killing, we just want to ask how much gold coins you brought with you. Us brothers have been lacking the money to buy wine for a couple of days now.”


“Isn’t that still beating?”


“Pei, it’s not if I say it’s not.”


“Idiot……”


These people had a worrying IQ, Lin Mu Yu could not help feeling nervous. He raised one brow and said, “Luo Yu, come out and see me!”


“Chi ya…..”


A door was opened in front and Luo Yu walked out holding a list of names while having a tired expression on his face. With a smile, he said, “Ah…..Sir commander is back. Ha, ha, this is great! What are you pointing your weapons at him for, he is the commander, Lin Mu Yu!”


The mercenaries were stunned. A person angrily said, “This brat looks like a cream puff, he is clearly one of those pieces of trash nurtured by those fat women in Orchid Goose City. How could this kind of person be our boss?”


“Yo, this is our boss?”


Lin Mu Yu secretly smiled. He dismounted and did not draw his weapon. His eyes looked over the group of people and he said, “Just you idiots dare to be this arrogant? Come, come, come together, don’t say that I was bullying you!”


Luo Yu was stunned, “Sir, you…..”


“It’s fine, I have my discretion.”


Lin Mu Yu’s lips curled as he spoke with a smile. Actually he knew clearly that even though these people did not look like much, at least they were all in the Human Realm, with a few even being in the Earth Realm. They were all unparalleled experts in their villages, so which one of them wasn’t stubborn. If he didn’t show his strength to subdue them, it would not be easy for him to be the Dragon Courage Camp commander.


“Weng!”


With the gourd appearing, Lin Mu Yu raised his armoured fist as battle qi instantly condensed around it.


“God, he is a Heaven Realm Expert, the same as sir Luo Yu!”


“That’s right, that’s battle qi!”


“So what if he’s in the Heaven Realm, we have more people. If he wants to be our boss, we need to see if he has the skills!”


After saying this, a group of people charged forward. There was a Earth Realm Second Layer large man that gave an angry roar as a wild sea dragon appeared around his fist as it slammed at Lin Mu Yu’s chest. This fist was very strong and could not be underestimated, however Lin Mu Yu just casually avoided it and punched that man in the stomach. With a “peng” sound, the large man moved back several steps and kneeled over on the ground holding his stomach.


All kinds of attacks fell onto the gourd wall, but they were all blocked by the Black Turtle Shell and the Dragon Scale Wall. On the contrary, Lin Mu Yu’s fists began to rain out, using the fierce soul fist he learned from Zhang Wei. His fists danced as the mercenaries were all sent flying away. When a group of mercenaries tried to surround him, Lin Mu Yu raised his arm as demonic energy gathers around it before he suddenly slammed it into the ground!


Second Luminary, Demonic Dance!


“Peng!”


Using 30% of his battle qi and the Luminary Power to create a shockwave, he sent all the people flying, knocking them all over. There was only Lin Mu Yu left standing in the middle.


“How about it, can I be the Dragon Courage Camp commander?” His lips had a smile as he asked in a soft voice.


The mercenaries all cupped their hands, “Sir commander is mighty…..Sir commander is powerful…..”


Lin Mu Yu’s raised a single brow and said, “I want to ask you all a question.”


“Commander, please speak. You are the strongest, so whatever you say counts!”


Lin Mu Yu’s voice sunk as he asked, “Do you want to be heroes or cowards?”


Everyone was stunned. After a few seconds, they all said, “Commander, we want to be heroes.”


Lin Mu Yu shook his head with a faint smile on his face, “But right now, you look like a bunch of cowards.”
