Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 813 - 749·Lizard Guardian God Belief

Upon hearing this, Zhang San smiled slightly and said, "General Li, why not go and take a look? This is a gift prepared specifically for you."

At this moment, Wang Ziteng, who had set out from the backdoor stronghold, also arrived at Julong Pass.

Meanwhile, as Li Shangfa went to meet the hundreds of newly arrived Martial Artists, he finally realized they were all from the Wang Family.

These people had begun selecting and gathering before Zhang San set off, and now they were finally ready and had all come to Julong Pass.

At this moment, seeing these hundreds of Martial Artists wanting to enlist, Li Shangfa was naturally overjoyed.

After all, seventy of these Martial Artists were powerhouses in the Late Period of the True Core Realm.

The remaining thirty were in the Spiritual Platform Realm.

With their involvement, the combat power of Julong Pass’s garrison could be significantly boosted.

But the problem was, these people were all from the Wang Family.

At this point, Zhang San walked over with Wang Ziteng.

Seeing Wang Ziteng arrive, the hundreds immediately kneeled down on one knee before him.

Zhang San explained to the visibly shocked Li Shangfa, "General Li, don’t misunderstand. Although these people are Wang Family members, they actually came this time to follow my sworn brother Wang Ziteng and join your army."

Li Shangfa, still puzzled, whispered, "But isn’t Wang Ziteng an Officer of the Town Demon Office?"

Zhang San nodded with a smile, "Indeed! But I’m also the White Tiger Principal Officer of the Town Martial Office, and I’m concurrently the Deputy Chief of the Town Demon Office! It’s quite normal for one person to hold multiple positions. Who says he can’t take on another role in your army?"

Li Shangfa pulled Zhang San aside and whispered, "Deputy Chief Zhang, I understand your intention to secure a position for your brother in the army. But our Julong Pass sees little combat; he’s better off mingling in the other garrisons along Longyou Road for more prospects!"

Zhang San understood that Li Shangfa was genuinely worried Wang Ziteng might just be here for credentials.

Zhang San patted Li Shangfa on the shoulder, whispering, "His strength, I won’t boast about how strong it is. But you know of Zhang Datui, right?"

"Of course, he was a military hero before joining the Town Demon Office. I heard he’s been promoted to Principal Officer now!"

"Zhang Datui is Wang Ziteng’s master! Furthermore, you might not believe his strength, but the strength of the people under his command is indisputable. Having them in the army, helping train your soldiers, won’t that significantly enhance the combat capacity of your troops at Julong Pass?"

Li Shangfa nodded slightly, realizing that having so many experts in his army could indeed allow his soldiers to learn from them and greatly benefit.

"General Li, I know you’re not entirely keen on agreeing to this today. But if you agree to appoint the Three Lizard Brothers as the Guardian Gods of the army and lend a bit of assistance, my brother will let the hundred powerhouses from the Wang Family remain in your army. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?"

Li Shangfa pondered for a moment, realizing that it basically required no cost for him, yet promised pure benefits.

Most importantly, even if there’s a risk from the Demon Clan within Julong Pass, it’s arranged by the Deputy Chief of the Town Demon Office; it’s not his place to question it.

All he needed to do was report it as an arrangement.

Thus, Li Shangfa began to warmly welcome the Three Lizard Brothers, expressing his belief that with these brothers, the garrison at Julong Pass would definitely be protected.

Meanwhile, he immediately organized people in the army to carve wooden figures of the Three Lizard Brothers, instructing all officers to lead their soldiers in batches to offer incense.

Even soldiers who committed mistakes were collectively placed in a larger tent,

where there was an altar with offerings precisely for the Three Lizard Brothers on the table.

They were then required to pray for protection to the statues of the Three Lizard Brothers.

Although many soldiers didn’t really believe in this kind of thing, given that the army life involved risking their lives on the edge of a blade, believing in something didn’t seem harmful regardless of what anyone said.

For a time, while temporarily settled in the army, the Three Lizard Brothers unexpectedly felt a significant amount of the Power of Incense Flame flowing into their bodies.

That night, Zhang San came to find the Three Lizard Brothers.

"How do you feel, gentlemen?"

At this moment, the Three Lizard Brothers were extremely excited but also somewhat worried.

"Brother Zhang San, we truly feel our strength has indeed increased."

"But even though we’ve grown stronger, we don’t actually know any battle techniques, feeling like we haven’t really become stronger."

"Exactly, exactly."

Zhang San also knew that the Three Lizard Brothers could only make rain and knew no other techniques.

Otherwise, with the supreme demon position blessing them, they wouldn’t often be hunted by other demons.

"Gentlemen, take it slowly. This is not something that happens overnight. In the coming period, you should reside in the army and carefully observe and learn the soldiers’ combat styles. Perhaps you’ll gain insights and understand something."

Upon hearing Zhang San’s words, the Three Lizard Brothers glanced at each other and reluctantly nodded.

Though they were supreme demons, due to their years of being hunted, they naturally felt unsafe in such an unfamiliar place.

Zhang San noticed the brothers’ concerns.

"Moreover, think about this: you originally gained the power to make rain because people believed you could bring rain. So if you’re believed by the soldiers to be Guardian Gods, then you certainly can possess the abilities of Guardian Gods!"

"There are only eight thousand soldiers here, and since you’ve only just arrived, their faith in you is limited, and the Power of Incense Flame is naturally scant. Given time, your strength will inevitably rise and you will gradually master some combat abilities."

"Remember, this is merely the first step! Julong Pass has eight thousand soldiers and some logistics personnel, nearly ten thousand people. But if your feats spread throughout Longyou Road, then it’s the twenty thousand troops of Longyou Road providing the Power of Incense Flame to you three brothers, and then you can be stronger! To succeed, first, believe you can succeed!"

Encouraged by Zhang San’s comforting words, the Three Lizard Brothers became more confident.

Zhang San told them to seek out Li Shangfa should they have any needs.

Then, only after this did Zhang San leave the Three Lizard Brothers’ tent.

However, Zhang San didn’t immediately leave Julong Pass. Instead, he wandered around the military camp before heading to another secluded area where few people ever passed.

Having ensured that there was no one else around and no means to notice him, Zhang San stepped into a pitch-black tent.

Although from the outside, the tent appeared pitch-black, as soon as Zhang San stepped inside, it was brightly lit.
