Children of Loulan

Chapter 130 Captain Mo

Mo Ming did not answer the king's question. He just bowed respectfully to the king and then turned and walked towards the battlefield resolutely. His eyes were firm and his posture was as straight as a pine tree, as if he was full of endless confidence and determination for the upcoming battle.

Because they had already lost a battle, the ten soldiers on the field looked at Mo Ming fiercely. They were all eager to fight and try to avenge their previous defeat! Although they had the advantage in numbers, even if they won, they might be considered to have won unfairly. But if they lost, they would lose face in front of the king!

When Mo Ming walked into the arena, they immediately surrounded him. One of them shouted, "Go!"

The battle broke out instantly, and ten people joined forces to attack. However, Mo Ming rushed to the side of the blue soldiers at lightning speed. His body was as agile as a dragon, his moves were as fierce as a tiger, and his speed was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, the blue soldiers dodged and retreated.

After a thrilling and fierce battle, Mo Ming finally succeeded in defeating the ten soldiers of the blue team. The king witnessed all this with a satisfied smile on his face. He laughed heartily for a few times, then clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Hahaha, great! Mo Ming, you really lived up to everyone's expectations. You are really a brave and fearless soldier of Loulan! However, with your outstanding talents, it is simply a waste of talent to just let you serve as an insignificant soldier! Mo Ming, come forward and listen to the order!"

Hearing the king's call, Mo Ming did not dare to delay for even a second. He quickly stepped forward with firm and powerful steps, then knelt on one knee and replied respectfully: "I am here, please give your orders, Your Majesty!"

The king's eyes sparkled with admiration. He nodded with satisfaction and said excitedly, "Mo Ming, you are not only skilled in martial arts and brave in battle, but also a role model for many of my Loulan soldiers to learn from! Today, I hereby appoint you as a captain. I hope you can shoulder greater responsibilities and do your best to assist in the construction of the border city and ensure the safety of the good envoy during the construction of the border city!"

Mo Ming was filled with gratitude. He immediately kowtowed and said in a loud voice, "Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!"

The king nodded slightly to show his approval, and then said gently: "Well, get up!"

Mo Ming stood up, looked at the king firmly, and then asked softly: "I would like to ask the king, but I wonder where the king plans to send me to build the border town?" His eyes revealed his expectation and determination for the future mission.

The King: "In a few days, you will know all the answers! Please withdraw for now!"

Mo Ming hurriedly thanked the king, and then slowly retreated back to his own team. This fierce battle made him famous, and not only that, the other soldiers admired him even more.

At the same time, the king also turned to all the soldiers present and shouted loudly: "You are all the most outstanding people in my Loulan country. You have come here and participated in this exercise. You have all made contributions. I will definitely reward you according to your merits!"

At that moment, the 150 soldiers at the scene knelt down and shouted in unison: "We are grateful for the great king's grace and reward!"

"Get up!" After all the soldiers stood up, the king turned to look at Aishan and said in a deep voice: "Let's go back to the palace!"

When Aishan heard this, he immediately shouted loudly: "Go! Return to the palace!"

All the soldiers: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

When the king and his party gradually walked away and disappeared, the soldiers who came from the Gobi Desert surrounded Mo Ming and shouted, "Congratulations! Brother Mo!"

"What is Brother Mo? You should call him Captain Mo now!"

"That's right, Captain Mo!"

"Hey! Captain Mo, for such a great happy event, shouldn't you invite the brothers to drink and celebrate?"

"Yes, yes, yes, we must have a good drink! What do you think, Captain Mo?"

"Drink one, drink one, drink one!"

"Well, since you are so kind, I will invite you to drink to your heart's content today. But let me be frank. We must make three rules beforehand. You must not get drunk. After all, the king just said that you will all be rewarded according to your merits. You must not delay your work because of drinking!"

"Okay, don't worry, Captain Mo, the brothers know what's going on!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Amid the soldiers' cheering and noise, Mo Ming followed everyone and walked forward. However, at the moment he took a step forward, he couldn't help but look back in the direction where the king and his men left. He thought to himself: I can get the reward today, of course, it is inseparable from my own efforts and abilities, but perhaps this opportunity is given by the great prince.

Seeing the winners walking away, the soldiers who remained in the capital looked at each other in bewilderment. As the elites of the capital, they lost so easily to the people stationed at the edge of the desert. They all looked dejected. At this time, someone finally broke the silence and said, "Go back, they have already left!"

Another person then complained: "It was such a shame to lose today!"

"So what? We are already at a disadvantage fighting in a windy and sandy environment!" someone responded helplessly.

"But having said that, that guy named Mo Ming is really powerful. His martial arts don't seem to have any special moves. They are all the ones we have practiced in our daily life." A soldier said thoughtfully.

"But with the moves we used, how did he defeat the ten of us? Is there some secret?" another person said thoughtfully.

"Why don't we go ask him?" someone suggested.

"This... isn't a good idea. We just lost the game, how can we ask this?" someone hesitated.

"We are all soldiers of the same dynasty. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It won't cost you anything to ask."

"Yes, maybe Captain Mo will teach us a few tricks because we are so eager to learn."

One of them said in a bad tone: "You still have the nerve to ask? I can't afford to lose face! We are the city guards in the capital who are highly regarded by the king, but we can't even beat a small soldier in the desert. You still have the nerve to ask with a shameless face? Besides, they are drinking celebratory wine now. If we go over now, I'm afraid we will be laughed at for drinking for free! Humph, you are really a group of spineless guys!" After saying that, he turned away angrily.

"I also think it's not appropriate now. Let's wait and see! Alas, I'm leaving first..."

"Then...then why don't we all go back first!"

Seeing that person leave, the others also dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only a few people who looked at a loss and muttered awkwardly: "What the hell is going on? Why is he so angry for no reason?"

The other rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You don't even understand this? He has always been so arrogant. Today he lost two games in a row and he can't hold back his face. He must be jealous that others are better than him!"

"What's there to be jealous of? Captain Mo is really powerful. Besides, we are the famous Tiger Head Army in the capital, specializing in protecting the safety of the capital! It's better than staying in the desert!"
