Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"..."

The scolding continued inside the tent, while Luo Xiu and his group had already arrived at the so-called fourth front.

Each group's tents are slightly different in color. The tents here are mainly bright red, and the bright red tents stand on the black reef like blooming flowers.

But when Luo Xiu looked at it, he seemed to see a different scene.

It looked more like drops of blood, flowing with light as the waves crashed, turning the seawater crimson.

Novamp led Luo Xiu and his companions to the edge of the tent cluster and then stopped there.

“Each regiment has its own independent territory, and unless it is during a battle, even if I am the seventh-ranked deputy regimental commander, I am not allowed to set foot there.”

Novamp looked around, then leaned close to the group and whispered:

"Lord Luo Xiu, I must remind you that the Fourth Division is not an easy division to command. It's not because the people here are not strong enough. On the contrary, in terms of theoretical combat strength alone, this division can rank among the top three, or even the first, of all divisions."

"In fact, this subgroup was once incredibly glorious. Before the current number one subgroup, the Sage, reached the top, the Demon Slayer had held the number one position for more than ten consecutive years."

"But the vice-captain of the Demon Extermination Guild was so dazzling that after his fall, the Demon Extermination Guild refused to accept his departure and treated each new vice-captain who took office as...unfriendly."

He paused, then sighed:

"It can't be blamed on them. Lady Selena was indeed an extremely charismatic person. Her talent, leadership, and appearance were all impeccable. It's a pity that she ultimately fell from grace."

Upon hearing the name Selena, Luo Xiu's eyes flickered.

He clearly remembered that in the Kanriel stone sculpture group, under the statue of his teacher's teacher, there had once been a name called "Selena".

What else would Novamp say?

"Lord Luo Xiu, there is something you must pay attention to, and that is—"

"Novanp!!! Stop talking nonsense!"

The fat man's voice came from afar, and Novamp's expression immediately changed:

"I'm sorry, Lord Luo Xiu, I can't say any more. I believe you are capable of handling this."

Novamp left directly.

Luo Xiu hadn't expected that the fat man could hear their conversation from so far away; he'd probably been listening for a long time.

As expected, the sixth rank is another insurmountable barrier compared to the fifth rank.

The group of people walked into the cluster of tents.

Just stepped in.

Several figures darted out from the tents set up on the edge, a sharp whooshing sound rang out, and a fierce gust of wind howled towards Luo Xiu and his companions.

Without letting Basil and Leila make a move, Luo Xiu took action directly, blocking the incoming water arrows, wind blades, and other skills with just a wave of his hand.

"Who goes there?! This is the Demon Slayer Knights! Get out of here at once!!!"

The figures that suddenly appeared stared at Luo Xiu and his companions with unfriendly expressions.

They were all dressed in red, semi-transparent armor and held weapons in their hands.

Luo Xiu stepped forward:

"We are newly appointed members of the Knights Order, and the gentleman behind us, Lord Basil, is the newly appointed Vice Commander of the Demon Slayer Order."

"We don't need a new vice-captain for our demon-slaying mission!!"

The leader held a long sword in his hand, pointing it directly at Luo Xiu.

At the same time, he gave a wink, and one of the people next to him immediately ran towards the center of the tent cluster, seemingly to deliver a message.

Luo Xiu smiled slightly and did not stop him:

"I think this isn't something you can decide."

"Ah."

The man gave a cold laugh and said nothing more.

Before long, several figures walked out from the center of the tent.

Two men and one woman, looking imposing, walked directly toward Luo Xiu and his group.

Greetings, esteemed gentlemen.

The man in the lead smiled and spoke. He had long, flowing brown hair, and his tone was gentle. He bowed slightly.

"My name is Amu, and I am the captain of the Demon Slayer Knights."

"May I ask what brings you and your companions to the Demon Slayer Knights?"

He clearly already knew where Luo Xiu and his group came from, and asking again now was undoubtedly an attempt to evade and refuse once more.

Luo Xiu smiled and repeated what he had just said.

The man smiled and shook his head.

"As one of our members just said, Your Excellency, our Knights Order does not need a vice-master."

"What if Lord Basil insists on taking the position?"

Luo Xiu smiled as well.

The man did not back down despite Luo Xiu's threat, but slowly said:

"This is the consensus of all of us. I know that none of us can match Lord Basil behind you, so if you insist on doing so, we will absolutely not choose to follow your orders."

"We have formed a complete combat system, which is why we have been able to rank fourth even though we did not have any Tier 5 units for six of the past eight years."

"Believe me, it's not a pleasant experience to be a lone commander."

"Of course, if you want, you can punish me now as an example to others, but the result will not change."

Threat, naked threat.

Luo Xiu smiled, but he didn't say anything, wanting to see what Basil would do.

In a distant military camp, a glittering crystal floated near the ear of a fat man, his expression expectant.

He also wanted to see what Basil would say.

Chapter 231 Conflict!

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Basil, wanting to see how she would respond.

This is not a difficult problem. In fact, the fat man had already given Basil a hint on what to do.

Luo Xiu's gaze remained indifferent.

The fat man's words before he left: "A truly good general, at such a critical moment, should not listen to the advice of his deputy, but should have his own determination and judgment."

Based on Novamp's description of the group in front of him, the fat man not only noticed his little tricks towards Basil, but also realized that he was reminding Basil of something.

To win over the hearts of the members of this subgroup, you need to demonstrate sufficient decisiveness and leadership.

The reason why this sub-group is disobeying its leaders is because the former deputy commander was too amazing.

Therefore, right now, Basil must perform no worse than Selena did back then.

Even after considering this aspect, Luo Xiu still felt that it was not an easy task.

It is inherently difficult to make a memorable and convincing impression in a very short period of time.

He just wanted to see what basil would do.

Of his current retinue, aside from Leila, Milair excels in public affairs and interpersonal skills, while Tassanya is more adept at combat and one-on-one duels. He hopes that Basil can demonstrate sufficient leadership.

He wanted a capable general.

Meanwhile, in a tent far away from this place, the fat man's thoughts coincided with Luo Xiu's.

A qualified deputy regimental commander should be an outstanding military talent.

So, what would you do? Basil.

Without keeping everyone waiting long, Basil remained calm in the face of the long-haired man's threat:

"I want to confirm again, if I insist on becoming this vice-captain, none of you in [Demon Slayer] will obey my orders, right?"

The long-haired man smiled and nodded:

"Yes, I assure you."

"it is good."

Basil nodded:

"Then, in my capacity as the vice-captain of the Demon Slayer Corps, I hereby declare that all of you are expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps."

Upon hearing this, the long-haired man and the person next to him were all stunned.

In a distant tent, the fat man frowned deeply.

This is not a good move.

Although these words sound very domineering, if these unruly guys from the [Demon Slayer] group really went on strike for a few days, Basil would have no chance of recruiting new people.

When the demonic tide arrives, Basil's situation will be quite awkward.

In that case, she might even have to beg everyone, ultimately ending up leaving in a sorry state.

The fat man sighed in disappointment.

Another brainless idiot.

Perhaps I should look forward to seeing the blond young man next to her.

But at this moment, the blond young man he was thinking about had his eyes light up after hearing Basil's words.

Luo Xiu couldn't say he was satisfied with Basil's answer, but he could say he was looking forward to it.

If he's right, this is just the first step Basil has taken out into the world.

As a general, one must be able to see at least three steps ahead of the changing battle situation; the further ahead, the more unpredictable the outcome.

It was a risky move, but it was very effective.

It is simply unrealistic to expect to showcase charm and surpass the image of someone who has been elevated to an unknown level in the memories of the public in a short period of time.
