Chapter 240 Bloodstained Ears
Once inside the barracks, Ding Yi found four or five soldiers standing there wiping their rifles.
In another corner, three soldiers were sitting and chatting with each other. When they saw Ding Yi walk in, they just glanced up and didn't pay any attention.
The soldier who led Ding Yi into the barracks quickly left, which meant that from this moment on, Ding Yi would face the soldiers in this barracks entirely as Du Ming.
Ding Yi glanced around and didn't see the other leaders, which meant they had been assigned to other barracks and were not with him.
As for how a woman like Li Wanyun could have infiltrated this place, Ding Yi didn't care. However, a strange thought couldn't help but arise in his mind.
What does it feel like when a steamed bun is flattened?
"Du Ming, why are you only arriving now?"
A standing soldier leaned his spear against the wall and asked Ding Yi.
"We were delayed on the way."
Ding Yi smiled, looked at the person, and the person's information automatically appeared in his mind.
Ten-man squad leader, Chen Shu.
A warm-hearted warrior.
It is said that he had no choice but to rely on the gods for a living, and was assigned to the front line after being implanted with evil energy.
However, because of his considerable strength, being a master of the Bone Forging Realm, he managed to secure the position of a centurion.
"Hurry up and check your equipment. Those guys from Baiyun Temple have been acting really aggressively lately!"
Chen Shu pointed to a long spear leaning against the wall.
Ding Yi didn't reply, but walked straight in the direction Chen Shu pointed.
He didn't look down on Chen Shu in front of him; rather, the character Du Ming he was playing was a reclusive guy, which was emphasized in the information.
As expected, Ding Yi's actions did not cause any dissatisfaction. In fact, everyone thought Ding Yi's reaction was reasonable and continued to deal with their own affairs.
Time flew by, and night soon arrived.
Tonight, the patrol on the city wall is a joint operation of the First and Third Battalions. So, following Chen Shu's instructions, Ding Yi picked up his spear and left the barracks after finishing his meal, looking at the brightly lit city outside while waiting for the patrol to begin.
"Time's up, let's go!"
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Shu emerged from the barracks with the others and called out to Ding Yi, who was standing outside.
Ding Yi nodded, picked up his long spear, and stood at the back of the group, following Chen Shu and the others to begin patrolling along the designated route.
The entire Guanyue City covers a considerable area, and Ding Yi's Third Battalion was assigned to the entire northern part of the city.
On the way, Ding Yi kept a close eye on the city's architectural layout and the patrol teams coming and going, memorizing their routes and the city's architectural structure.
With his current spiritual strength, he was able to memorize these scenes after only seeing them once, without needing to memorize them by rote.
His soul was like a powerful CPU, constantly absorbing and storing everything around him, only to retrieve and consume it when needed.
Just a short while later, Ding Yi spotted his first acquaintance, Liu Feng, who was wearing a rugged man's mask.
Liu Feng seemed unaware of Ding Yi, continuing to walk with his head down in the middle of the patrol team. However, his movements were quite natural, and no flaws were apparent.
Ding Yi only glanced at it and then paid no more attention, but secretly noted down the camp number where Liu Feng was located.
Ding Yi soon arrived at the city wall.
It was summer, and a warm, humid wind blew from the towering city walls, making the people wearing soft armor feel very uncomfortable.
A stench of sweat lingered on the city wall, mixed with a strong smell of urine.
Ding Yi glanced sideways and immediately saw the scene over Bazhou from the city wall.
An endless plain.
Because Bazhou is located in the south and has a plain terrain, the black-armored guards of the Yin-Yang Palace have always been a difficult force for them to resist.
That's why Baiyun Temple had previously considered controlling Qingfeng County, a key node, so that once the war started, it could cut the entire battle line in two and use it to restrain the Black Armor Guards of Yin Yang Palace.
However, this plan was ultimately destroyed by Ding Yi, so Baiyun Temple had to temporarily abandon its attack plan and was forced into a standoff with Yin Yang Palace.
"Damn it, when was the last time those monks caused trouble?"
At that moment, one of the soldiers in the formation suddenly asked a question.
About two weeks ago?
Someone recalled and said.
"It's a pity that the fat black guy messed up the ears of those monks last time. That fat bastard is probably close to accumulating a small merit!"
Someone clicked their tongue in amazement.
"Stop talking nonsense and keep a close eye on them!"
Du Shu, who was at the very front, snorted coldly.
Upon hearing the captain's words, everyone fell silent, but Ding Yi gleaned a piece of information from them.
That is, the evil monks from Baiyun Temple attack this place every now and then, which is quite interesting.
In Ding Yi's view, for a few monks to attack such a large city was tantamount to suicide.
In a siege, the best strategy is to win hearts and minds, the second best is to use stratagems, and the worst strategy is a direct assault.
But in any case, the actions of these monks who went to their deaths have nothing to do with either of them.
Perhaps the generals in this world are all just makeshift teams?
This thought suddenly came to Ding Yi's mind.
Soon, Ding Yi and his team finished their first patrol and returned to their barracks.
"Get some rest, there's another trip later tonight."
As soon as Du Shu entered the barracks, he said something, and everyone responded. They then quickly took off their soft armor and outer garments and lay naked on the bed.
Ding Yi found this somewhat amusing, wondering how Li Wanyun and Shi Ruolin would react to this scene.
I'll ask again next time we meet.
Ding Yi chuckled, then took off his clothes, lay down on his bed, and closed his eyes slightly.
Meanwhile, in a barracks.
A fat, dark-skinned man was fast asleep on the bed, snoring so loudly that the whole room shook.
But the people sleeping with him seemed to have gotten used to it, and they all slept soundly without any reaction.
Just then, a black cloth bag stained with dried blood next to the fat man suddenly shook violently.
Immediately afterwards, raised shapes suddenly appeared on the outside of the bag. If you looked closely, you could see that these shapes resembled human facial features.
As the bag shook more and more violently, it finally fell off the table and onto the ground with a loud thud.
But the noise went unnoticed by the fat man's snoring, and the impact of the fall to the ground finally loosened the rope binding the bag's opening a little.
The next moment, a blood-stained ear slowly crawled out of the bag and onto the cold floor.
It seemed to have started something, and then seven or eight ears crawled out of the bag and lined up in a circle on the ground.
"Naminamonye!"
An eerie whisper drifted slowly from the circle, creating an inexplicable balance with the snoring in the room.
The people lying in bed seemed completely unresponsive to the sound, though their expressions turned slightly pained.
"Naminamonye!"
"Naminamonye!"
A thin line of blood suddenly shot out from the circle on the ground and disappeared into the mouth of the fat man who was snoring loudly.
The next moment, the fat man's eyes snapped open, and a figure wearing a yellow cassock was reflected in his pupils!
