The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

"I guessed it too! How come [Shirahoshi] needs an unusually high amount of general skill points for physical combat?! Didn't that woman in the Samurai Tower tell you that?!"

Following Chen Er's words, Zhang Liao quickly turned around and went back into the house. He really didn't want to face Lü Lingqi.

And who else could the woman from the Warrior Tower that Lü Lingqi mentioned be but the "Apostle of Heaven"? Looking across the entire Bingzhou, only she would refer to the "Apostle of Heaven" as that woman.

"Judging from Miss Lü's tone, she seems quite dissatisfied with General Dian Wei and the [Apostle of Heaven]. I wonder if there is some kind of grudge between you and them?"

Chen Er suddenly had a bright idea and asked a question he had always wanted to ask. As for the discord between Lü Lingqi and the two [Apostles], he had already witnessed it firsthand.

"I just can't stand their arrogant attitude! Not a single person from the Warrior Tower is a good person! Have you both forgotten what I said in front of you two? The Yellow Turban Rebellion was caused by the Warrior Tower! Not to mention Dian Wei's arrogance and his self-righteous attitude of being the best in the world, how annoying he is. They've done so many bad things, if I were to tell you one by one, I'm afraid it would take three days and three nights to finish!"

"I'm so angry," Lü Lingqi said. Chen Er, seeing her like this, felt a slight stirring in his heart:

"I have a question I would like to ask you, Miss. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me?"

"What do you want to know?" Lu Lingqi asked.

"I would like to know, when you spoke with the [Apostle of Heaven] that day, did the [Apostle of Heaven] mention that you also have a powerful force behind you?"

"Hey, you're so cunning! But I can't tell you the answer to this question right now. Maybe I'll tell you sometime in the future." Lu Lingqi's expression was sly. Before Chen Er could say anything, she took out a document and handed it to him:

"This is what my father asked me to give to you! You two are really something, making my father so angry! Alright, that's all for now, I have things to do, I'll be going now."

After handing the document to Chen Er, Lü Lingqi left without looking back.

Chen Er was stunned for a moment, and by the time he reacted, Lü Lingqi had already disappeared. He couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

It turns out she came as a lobbyist, but she went through all that trouble!

"Wen Yuan, come out. It's time to see General Gao." Chen Er shook his head and turned to the room behind him.

The next day, they arrived at the military camp with the letter of appointment given to them by Lü Lingqi.

Not only did the two of them want to join the Vanguard Camp, but the three hundred local militiamen they brought with them also wanted to join. This was the result of Chen Er's efforts.

Zhang Liao didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about the matter, but recalling how Gao Shun had stood up and spoken out impartially while everyone else was criticizing him the previous night, his last bit of resentment towards Gao Shun vanished.

But could those two forgive Gao Shun, forgive the Trapped Camp, and forgive the three hundred local militia?

Will they easily forget the humiliation they suffered back then? For the three hundred local militia, their leader had completely changed his attitude towards the Trapped Camp in just a few days. Could they accept this change in such a short time?

Some later generations have said that the root of the "Capital City Massacre" was sown at the very beginning of the formation of the Trapped Camp, ultimately leading to an irreversible outcome. The oblivious Chen Er and Zhang Liao only realized how negligent they had been when the entire capital was stained with blood.

However, there are no "what ifs," and everything is developing according to the predetermined trajectory.

When Chen Er and Zhang Liao arrived at the military post, they gathered three hundred local militiamen and announced that they would be incorporated into the Trapped Camp. As expected, the three hundred militiamen immediately erupted in uproar.

The loyalty of the three hundred local militiamen to Chen Er and Zhang Liao was beyond question, but they were men, and men of unwavering integrity. The elite troops of the Trapped Camp had humiliated them so severely; now, a single order was issued to force them to join the same humiliating force?!

Who could accept such a thing? So it was only natural that the three hundred local militiamen erupted in anger on the spot.

"What's all the commotion?! This is Lord Ding Yuan's decision! Since Lord Ding Yuan has made this arrangement, we can only follow his instructions!"

Seeing the chaotic scene, Zhang Liao frowned and said in a serious tone.

Although Zhang Liao was only sixteen years old this year, and according to the customs of the Han Dynasty, he was not yet an adult, his experiences along the way had made him second only to Chen Er in prestige among the three hundred local militia. At this moment, seeing Zhang Liao's anger, the three hundred local militia, though still puzzled, remained silent.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Liao waved his hand and said, "Then, this matter is settled. Brothers, get ready, we will march to the location of the Trapped Camp tonight."

The three hundred local militiamen slowly dispersed. Chen Er noticed the disappointment on many of their faces and frowned. Just then, Zhang Liao turned around and saw the expression on Chen Er's face: "Brother, is something the matter?"

"No, it's nothing." Chen Er shook his head and ultimately didn't say anything more.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking it?

It was at this moment that Zhang Sanjin, a hunter by trade, slowly walked up to Chen Er and Zhang Liao:

"Wen Yuan, Chen Er, I have something to tell you two."

"What?" Zhang Liao asked.

Zhang Sanjin looked around and then whispered:

"Last night, the brothers had already gone to bed. For some reason, a few people suddenly came to the outpost suspiciously, and the brothers on patrol caught them all."

"Arrested?" Chen Er's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he immediately followed up with another question:

"Have you questioned those people about why they came to the outpost in the middle of the night?!"

"I asked them, and they claimed to be stewards of a high-ranking official in the city. They brought a lot of gifts, which are all inside the house." Although Zhang Sanjin was a hunter, he also realized that something was wrong.

When did the steward in the city become so easy to talk to?

"Where are they?" Chen Er then asked.

"We've put everyone back," Zhang Sanjin replied cautiously.

"That's good." Chen Er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and his eyes couldn't help but show some appreciation as he looked at Zhang Sanjin.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Sanjin is actually quite meticulous despite his rough exterior; he's a talented individual who deserves special attention and training in the future.
