Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 1105 - 728: The "Maiden" Great Demon

"Please!"

"Please!"

Several family heads adjusted their attire, trying to appear composed, as they followed into the Yun Family’s council hall.

But just as they crossed the threshold, they saw the hall filled with the gleaming light of soldier armor, uniform and impressive, all eyes turned to them, stationed in varied positions, akin to the eight generals of the Yun Family. This simple glance carried an indescribable sense of imposing pressure.

The family heads were momentarily intimidated by the armor light, their straight backs slightly lowered by half, faces adorned with smiles, eyes flickered with reverence, and a hint of uncontrollable envy.

Back in the day, the Yun Family had joined the military as a whole, and now every living Yun Family member has made a name for themselves, becoming pillars in the military. The Yun Family transitioned from a second-tier family to one of the notable families in Jingguan City, which inevitably drew admiration. Many in Jingguan City laughed at the Yun Family initially, but now no one dares to laugh, everyone admires the courage the Yun Family showed back then.

"Presumably, this is the Yun Family’s Sixth Son. I’ve heard that you’ve now become a Deputy General of a mountain. Congratulations, congratulations. Mr. Liu offers his respect."

"Ah, the Seventh Brother now holds a high position as a Thousand Households. He is certainly deserving of the title Thousand Households Master. Look at my family, not living up to expectations; you were close back then, and in the future, we rest on Seventh Brother to take good care of our Ming’er. Ming’er, go greet your brother Zhuo Sheng."

"The Yun Family’s ten tigers indeed command admiration, especially Cloud Lang. Chuxiong, you have such a good son, truly enviable."

"..."

The family heads voluntarily lowered their positions, actively engaging in conversation with the young generation of the Yun Family inside the hall, their tones filled with flattery, as household heads are smart folks, none would stick their faces out to exploit the old, all rely on strength and consistently push their young blood to build connections.

Yun Chuxiong and several Yun Family officials, hearing these praises and compliments, naturally felt appreciated, and pride filled their hearts.

Yun Chuxiong laughed heartily, "Today, our families gather to discuss sponsoring supplies to support The Overseers’ soldiers, specially summoning our Yun Family youths back to the mansion to lead the transportation of supplies to Yunding Mountain in response to the call."

"By then, not just our families, but several major forces will also send people to escort supplies to Yunding Mountain."

"With great war approaching, storms brewing, our Jingguan City must unite, provide strong support, righteousness comes first."

"I and all of you shall serve as examples, mobilizing more to join, to enhance everyone’s enthusiasm for the Military."

That is the purpose of the Yun Family’s grand mobilization.

"Well said."

"The Yun Family Master is righteous-hearted, we shall naturally follow."

"..."

The family heads joined in praising and agreeing.

Whether the sentiments were genuine or false didn’t matter, this was the trend, the Yun Family took the lead, speaking for it, each family willingly gave face because they had to consider whether it was the influential figure behind the Yun Family speaking up.

"Good, carriages are lining up to load supplies at the gate, the hour is approaching, let’s discuss the personnel and matters for transporting later."

Yun Chuxiong spoke.

The other family heads immediately lifted their spirits, getting serious. To respond to the Yun Family’s call, they bled heavily, contributing substantial family supplies to Yunding Mountain, all for a chance to shine.

Now is the opportunity; delivering these supplies to Yunding Mountain might catch the attention of the Martial Saint General on Yunding Mountain, and if favored by them, it’s like ancestral blessings shining, so the exposure must be earned.

Moreover, with the Yun Family leading, doing things openly, gaining fame is also advantageous.

Soon, within the council hall, several families discussed escorting supplies, reaching a consensus.

Thirty minutes later, in front of Yun Mansion, a convoy of over a hundred vehicles completed loading, ready to depart, each driver holding the reins like soldiers ready to set off, appearing quite formidable.

The streets, densely packed, surrounded by layers of onlookers, bustling like a marketplace.

In front of the Yun Family’s vermilion doors, a group poured out from the mansion; the main feature was the Yun Family elders and youths, flanked by the Liu and Huo families, and then behind them, a crowd of Yun Family servants, maids, and female relatives.

Below the steps of the grand entrance, a group of soldiers and servants holding horses waited. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At this moment, Yun Family Master Yun Chuxiong stepped forward, clasped his fist toward the crowded assembly of common folk in front of the gate, and with a voice full of energy exclaimed:

"Fellow villagers, I am Yun Family Master Yun Chuxiong!"

"I suppose you’ve all heard, Shu lands have been frequently troubled by Demon invasions, thankfully, guarded by the Martial Saint Chen Yuan at Yunding Mountain, providing a chance for Shu to breathe. Now, the one on Yunding Mountain strives to eliminate Demon invasions, with devotion, summoning a million Shu youth to enlist for a great decisive battle. With war imminent, our Yun Family, as part of Shu, joins forces with fellow family masters in contributing supplies for Shu soldiers to charge bravely and fearlessly."

With this final sentence spoken, the crowd in front of Yun Mansion erupted in enthusiastic cheers, shouting in admiration.

Yun Chuxiong didn’t waste words further,

"Yun Family youths, mount your horses."

Then, Yun Family youth and young from several families stepped forward.

Such a public opportunity to build prestige naturally was left for the young to seize.

First to mount were Yun Family soldiers in military ranks, led by Sixth Son, escorted by personal guards on horseback, others held positions of Colonels or Centurions, evoking some awe, while cheers continued.

Amidst this lively scene, among the Yun Family crowd watching the spectacle at the mansion gate, there were two women mixed in, enjoying the event.

"Sister Yun Luo, are those my Yun Family brothers? I’ve just arrived at the mansion, and can’t recognize anyone yet, please tell me about them." The speaking woman with a soft and weak tone asked the lady beside her.

These two women, one dressed in plain white gauze with gentle elegance and a graceful appearance, was Zhao Yunluo. She had once had ties with Chen Yuan in deserted mountain temples, brought over by the Yun Family as distant relatives due to past Demon disaster.

Beside her was the maiden who asked, possessing fine features, delicate brows, soft almond-shaped eyes, modest eyelids, showing timidity, dressed in moon-white silken coat, over it an aquatic pink cloak, fluttering in the breeze, accentuating her slender figure, having the sway of a fragile willow, her voice clear and sweet.

This was the young girl calling herself Yun Luo’s distant relative "Nu’er," who sought refuge at Yun Mansion a few days ago with her "father."

Now residing in Yun Mansion, due to similar backgrounds with Zhao Yunluo, they quickly grew close in purposeful approaches.

At this point, the "young maiden" gazed at the Yun Family soldiers mounting their horses, filled with admiration, slightly shy and timid.

Yet, unbeknownst to anyone, this frail "young maiden" was actually a Great Demon!
