Chapter 336: Chapter 287: Recruited 4000 Troops in Half a Day! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
The Mountain Guardian’s expression flickered.
Sect Master Yue had shown him kindness, and the matter concerned the Weiyuan Eight Heroes, so, at last, he made up his mind, clenched his teeth, and flicked his hand toward his waist.
A dull grey Token appeared in the palm of his hand.
This was the Sect Gate Prohibition Token.
He held the Token up to the gate, and immediately in front of it appeared a faint, nearly transparent white light barrier.
The Token was sucked onto it, instantly rippling like water waves.
Then,
With a creak,
The gate opened!
......
The night was as dark as ink, and at the foot of the Ninth Mountain, the fire glowed, with black smoke billowing.
A towering Commander’s Platform had a stone door slowly opening.
Following this, a figure shimmering with silver light gradually emerged between the opened stone doors.
Silver dragon pattern armor, a black cloak with wind and cloud patterns, a body shining like silver, and a pair of pale golden eyes sparkling brightly in the dark, with a vertical golden stripe between the eyebrows that was strikingly mesmerizing.
With the appearance of this figure!
A sound of voices shouting up to the heavens suddenly burst forth!
"Pay respects to the Colonel!"
At this moment, beneath the Commander’s Platform, soldiers were being reviewed, banners flew high with vigor.
In the roaring fire basin, flames reached for the sky, and beneath the flickering light, a row of new, cold iron armors stood on tall horses, with white breath steaming from their nostrils, and hooves stamping in place.
Troops in formation, shimmering with cold light, the entire mountain covered in gleaming armor!
Pairs of eyes filled with excitement, curiosity, thrill, looked up to see that towering figure in the dark, as if cloaked in a myriad of silver lights!
Leading in front were three mighty horses, the first one let out a long neigh, lifting its hooves high.
Atop each horse stood three figures in red armor.
These were the three generals who had been knighted, previously the Leading Military Officers!
Ever since Yun Tiansheng’s recognition, the remaining two had quietly broken through Heavenly Pass, partly due to the luck accrued by hovering on the brink of life and death in the Demon Battlefield and partly with the help of General Chen Yuan’s strong support.
Today, the recruitment process for the Ninth Mountain Army had concluded; the summoned troops were already armored, practicing in the Refining Field, awaiting Chen Yuan’s inspection.
The efficiency was frighteningly high.
But it had always been like this.
Last time, the recruitment only lasted two or three days; many didn’t even know each other’s names before being hastily thrown into the Demon Battlefield to experience a trial of life and death.
"Central Divine Power Guard, recruited a total of 1,436 people today, thirty-six Reserve Military Officers, seventy-six General’s Flags, and one hundred and seventy-eight Small flags. Please, General, inspect!"
"Right Divine Power Guard, recruited a total of 1,517 people today, thirty-eight Reserve Military Officers, ninety-two General’s Flags, three hundred and one Small flags..."
"Left Divine Power Guard, recruited a total of 1,336 people today..."
Liu Qing, Yun Tiansheng, and Lu Ming, the three generals, shouted loudly, reporting today’s recruitment results.
Looking at the data, the last recruitment in three days brought in only around a thousand troops, with almost no interest from people, and most of them were mainly Body Refinement and Qi Refinement practitioners.
Yet today, with just half a day, over four thousand troops had been recruited.
Moreover, the numbers of Military Officers and General’s Flags increased exponentially!
There were over a hundred Reserve Military Officers!
This indicated that more than a hundred individuals had achieved the strength of the Profound Body Peak.
After all, to defeat the Guard Military Officers in the Refining Field, one generally had to be within this range of cultivation.
After all, as a Leading Military Officer, this number of recruits clearly exceeded the scope, so we were prepared beforehand, only assigning the title of Reserve Military Officer, with further subclassifications to follow.
Overall, after a round of military recruitment, the Ninth Mountain Army’s strength has been greatly enhanced, and its manpower has substantially expanded.
Of course, the reasons for this boil down to two. First, ever since the incident involving the projection at Weiyuan Pass battlefield, Chen Yuan’s prestige skyrocketed, leading many commoner’s sons and people from the Worldly society to choose to join his Ninth Mountain. Second, naturally, it is the means Chen Yuan employed in recent days that led many families to send their offspring to his Ninth Mountain.
At this moment, standing on the Commander’s Platform, Chen Yuan’s pale golden pupils swept over the Cold Light Iron Armors beneath him, his thoughts stirring slightly.
In the crowd, he saw faces that were naive, yearning, or evasive.
These people, in the future, it’s uncertain how many will survive.
Among them, some are arrogant and unrestrained scions of families, many of whom did not come on their own volition but were tasked by their families. Others are peasants’ sons and people from the Worldly society who aspired to achieve something great.
To say the crowd was a mixed bag would be an understatement.
But he had enough confidence to train these people into a cohesive unit because when they truly face the Demon Battlefield, the only ones they can trust are their own.
"Not bad!"
Just as he nodded his head and was about to speak, he suddenly saw a streak of light rushing down from the sky above Ninth Mountain, flying towards the ground below, piercing the air with a whoosh and causing the new recruits at the Refining Field to look up.
Chen Yuan was interrupted and looked up, his gaze narrowing.
"Sir!"
At that moment, the streak of light reached the Commander’s Platform, revealing the figure of Military participant Gao Yu, who bowed deeply to Chen Yuan.
"A good friend of yours, Taoist Li Guanyi from Fulong Temple, says there is an urgent matter and must see you!"
"He is injured, and it seems his Cultivation has been sealed. I can’t break it; it might have something to do with Martial Vault."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan’s brows raised instantly.
"Where is he?"
"At the Heavenly Patrol Hall!"
Chen Yuan’s feet shimmered, transforming into a streak of golden light, soaring into the sky, heading straight for Cloud Peak.
Within five or six breaths, in front of the brightly lit Heavenly Patrol Hall, the void blurred momentarily, then Chen Yuan’s figure appeared.
With a frown, he stepped into the hall and saw Taoist Li Guanyi sitting on a chair below, bending over, one hand covering his chest and the other leaning on the armrest.
Seeing him in this state, Chen Yuan’s pupils flashed with cold light, and he quickly approached.
His large hand reached out, grabbed Taoist Li’s hand, and immediately, golden light surged, spreading from Li’s arm to his entire body.
Soon, Taoist Li Guanyi from Fulong Temple had the cyan-gray color on his skin chased away by the golden light, and his own life force swiftly recovered.
The previously weak Taoist Li’s complexion rapidly turned rosy, "Thank you, General Chen!"
Saying so, he stood up to bow.
Chen Yuan held him down in the chair with one hand, "We have fought side by side; there’s no need for such formalities."
His brow furrowing, his voice deepened, "The Prohibition on your body was left by Martial Vault, what’s the situation?"
"As long as Taoist Li speaks up, I will not stand idly by!"
Taoist Li Guanyi sighed and recounted his visit to Cuiwei Mountain.
Towards the end, the Taoist’s voice grew stern.
"Sect Master Yue ordered his steward to let this poor Taoist leave."
"He also left two messages for me."
"The first is that the Qian family is calling people to deal with you."
"The second is to tell this poor Taoist to leave Jingguan City."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
"I was planning to deal with these fellows once everyone was gathered."
"Who knew they couldn’t wait any longer."
"Someone!"
