Chapter 154-05: The Strongest Army (4K)

The current total number of players in Yancheng is 564. After eliminating players who do not meet the [Soldier] requirements, the number of players still remaining at the gate of the General's Mansion is 117.

Among them, 36 people chose to change their careers to military strategists, and the remaining 81 people were from the Gongyang School of Confucianism.

For the Yanlong Kingdom, which has enjoyed peace for a long time, the difficulty of switching to the Gongyang School is much easier than switching to the four military schools.

Moreover, the main reason why many players are willing to switch to the Ram Faction is that the Ram Faction is very good at fighting.

Looking at the 117 players gathered at the gate of the General's Mansion, Chu Zhongxing began the second step of screening for the [Soldiers], which is also the most important screening - unconditional obedience to military orders!

"Once you join the army, you become a soldier. The first thing a soldier must do is to obey orders unconditionally and resolutely!"

"If you want to join the army, you must abandon your previous free and lazy attitude."

“Please think carefully about whether you want to join the [Soldiers] and become part of the Yancheng Zhenbei Army?
I remind you again, after you join the army, if there are desertions, disobeying military orders, etc., the lighter ones will be punished with caning, the heavier ones will be expelled from the army, and the more serious ones will be imprisoned in death row or exiled to a place of exile!"

After Chu Zhongxing said this, he quickly popped up a rule for the 117 players present. The core content of the rule was to resolutely obey military orders.

Throughout the five thousand years of Earth OL, there are only a few armies that can compare with the soldiers of Yanlong Kingdom.

Therefore, the players of Yanlong Country had no objection to the soldiers' resolute obedience to military orders, and they even thought it was natural.

If you don't obey military orders and follow commands, what's the point of being a soldier?

After taking a quick look at the requirements to join the Soldier class, all the players quickly checked the box and chose to join the Soldier class. Among the 117 players who completed the job change, not one of them backed down and gave up at this step.

"Very good, you have made the best choice in your life."

"Soldiers are there to defend their country. Soldiers shed their blood on the front lines, so their treatment should not be too bad."

"All the newly enlisted soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, except Niu Bu, Susan, and Li Yueheng, are new soldiers. The monthly salary for new soldiers is 2 bolts of silk and 3 dan of millet."

Silk cloth and millet will be automatically converted into the new currency [General's Order] under the professional system. [General's Order] can be exchanged for Yancheng contribution value, Yancheng merit value, silver, copy points, activity points and other various "currencies" formulated by Chu Zhongxing.

In addition, [General Orders] can also be used to promote official positions, allowing players to "get promoted and make money."

If the [General Orders] received by players every month are used to exchange for Yancheng Contribution Points and Yancheng Merit Points, according to the current "prices" on the [Treasure Pavilion], each player's monthly income is about 2500.

This is just pure military pay. If players follow military orders and complete tasks, they will receive additional income.

Of course, the prices in the Treasure Pavilion will change with the output of "currency" in the game. The more "currency" is produced in the game, the cheaper the prices will be.

The depreciation of "prices" does not mean that the general orders are worthless. The [general orders] formulated by Chu Zhongxing can be exchanged for various points, including [activity points].

At present, the "Glorious Ancestors" activity has not stopped because the Iltsk Oasis dungeon has been razed to the ground. Players can still obtain activity points by killing barbarians and exchanging [General's Orders].

The activity points can be exchanged for a [holographic game cabin]. Based on the current monthly salary of recruits, it takes about 15 months to exchange for a holographic game cabin.

A new soldier can exchange a holographic gaming cabin for 15 months with military pay alone.

Chu Zhongxing felt that such benefits and treatment were already quite good.

"What a conscience the official has! Damn! After this career update, the benefits are simply outrageous!"

As a centurion, Niu Bu's salary was naturally much higher than that of new recruits. He looked at the military orders he could receive and kept praising Chu Zhongxing.

Based on the current prices in [Baobao Pavilion], Niu Bu could earn nearly 7,000 yuan a month just from military pay.

With this income, in the system of Yanlong Country, he can be considered as a second-term non-commissioned officer!

"As expected of a new game, the rewards are really generous. I wonder if the rewards will be reduced in the future."

Zhuge Wangye, who also joined the army, also praised the planner's generosity, but he was still a little worried about the planner's behavior of cutting rewards in the future.

As the game has been operating for longer and longer, the practice of cutting rewards has become too common. Let’s take "Fantasy Westward Journey", which has the best economy on Earth OL, as an example.

The lousy planner cut down the profits one by one, and Fantasy's revenue plummeted, and the value of the accounts and supplies also began to collapse.

"Who knows? Anyway, the rewards given by the official are quite good. If there is no second immersive holographic online game, you can only pray that the official will be more generous."

"I am still quite worried. With so many players joining the army and everyone receiving so much military pay, if everyone exchanges all their money for Yancheng Contribution Points and Yancheng Merit Points, will the prices of goods sold on the [Treasure Pavilion] collapse as a result?"

"No, brother, are you really going to use the [Commander's Order] on those things? Wouldn't it be nice to use the Commander's Order to get promoted, or to exchange for activity points and buy a holographic game cabin?

Anyway, my goal is a holographic gaming cabin, and I am prepared to work hard for this goal for 15 months!"

"Yes, compared to the holographic game cabin, this little money is nothing."

"Everyone, new troops, assemble!"

After joining the [Soldier] profession, the player's identity becomes the new army of Yancheng. Following Chu Zhongxing's order, the players who were chatting in low voices immediately gathered together.

Very good and obedient, but the queue is not neat enough.

Chu Zhongxing glanced at the players and shouted, "Line up, ten people in each line!"

brush!
Judging from the base number, most people in Yanlong Country did not choose to join the army, but everyone in Yanlong Country has received military training.

The only difficulty for this group of players in forming a battle array is that it is their first time and they are not sure about their positions.

In Earth OL, the military training formations are arranged according to height, but here, the height difference between everyone is not that big.

"Everyone, line up according to the order of the Heavenly Ranking!"

Chu Zhongxing moved his mind and directly displayed the player's ranking on the Heavenly Ranking behind the player ID. The players who were lining up saw the Heavenly Ranking ranking that suddenly appeared and couldn't help but look at each other.

You, as an NPC, have so much power? And you have this trick?
By the way, you are not a GM, are you?
Although the players were surprised by Chu Zhongxing's sudden move, they didn't say anything.

No one stipulates that employees of game companies cannot play games, and no one stipulates that the chief planners cannot play games.

It is not uncommon for the NPC in the game to be a GM.

The ranking of the Heavenly Ranking List was displayed behind the IDs of these players. Now, 117 players knew their positions.

In just one minute, the players' queues were in order. Chu Zhongxing looked at the group of players with satisfaction, then he stepped forward and said loudly: "Centurion Niu Bu!"

"To!"

"Step out!" "Yes!"

Niu Bu, who was standing at the first row on the left, took a step forward and subconsciously saluted Chu Zhongxing. Chu Zhongxing's eyebrows twitched.

My goodness, do you think this is a modern army?
"What kind of etiquette is this?"

Chu Zhongxing did not scold Niu Bu, but explained the military salute of the Imperial Shang Dynasty to Niu Bu and all the players in front of him.

The military salute of the Shang Dynasty actually evolved from the bow ceremony, which involves making a fist with the right hand, putting the four fingers of the left hand together and naturally covering the right fist, and the left thumb clasping the tiger's mouth of the right hand. This salute involves the left palm covering the right fist and embracing the other, indicating that "bravery does not cause chaos" and "force does not violate the rules", which is meant to restrain and control bravery.

After demonstrating the Imperial Shang Dynasty's military salute, Chu Zhongxing looked at the players in formation and said again: "Centurion Su Shan!"

"To!"

"Exit!"

"promise!"

With Niu Bu as an example, Su Shan’s etiquette and language have become relevant to the ancient times.

"You are centurions, and you should command a hundred men, but the new troops are currently short of manpower. You two will lead fifty-seven and fifty-eight respectively, and you will command them."

At this point, Chu Zhongxing paused, took a look at the players ranked according to the Heavenly Ranking, and said in a deep voice: "Niu Bu leads the Heavenly Ranking's even-numbered recruits, and Su Shan leads the Heavenly Ranking's odd-numbered recruits!"

"promise!"

After receiving Chu Zhongxing's order, 117 players were quickly divided into two columns. The Niu Bu column had 58 players and was on the left, and the Su Shan column had 57 players and was on the right.

"Formation, target, martial arts arena!"

"Run and start!"

The players lined up neatly, but their running was not particularly orderly. Looking at the messy formation, Susan, who was trained in a professional school, immediately started to chant and unify their steps: "121, 121, 1234!"

Upon seeing this, Niu Bu also started shouting.

The other players in Yancheng looked at the players running in formation towards the martial arts arena with envy written all over their faces, especially when they saw the rankings on the Heavenly Ranking behind the IDs of these players, they became very motivated.

Damn it, sooner or later, he will be one of this group of people.

"Is this General Chu's subordinate???"

"When did the soldiers under General Chu line up so neatly?"

"Are these still the guys whose [souls are immortal and bodies are indestructible]? How can they obey orders so well?"

"How on earth were these unruly people, who have no sense of military rules and discipline, tamed?"

Yancheng Martial Arts Arena.

With the slogan of 121, the new army lined up and ran into the training ground. The white-haired soldiers from Yancheng had shock written all over their faces.

They had some understanding of the soldiers under Chu Zhongxing's command. This group of people relied on their own immortality and not only ignored military rules and discipline, but were also free and undisciplined and did whatever they wanted. What's worse, some of them worked for three days and rested for two days, doing whatever they wanted.

However, now, this group of people seemed to have completely changed.

Although their formation was not yet very neat, they were completely different from their previous free and undisciplined form.

Chu Zhongxing, how did he manage to get this group of people to achieve this in such a short time?

Could it be that this group of people were summoned by Chu Zhongxing?
"What the hell, most of this group of people are from the Gongyang School. I've never seen Gongyang School disciples so willing to train in formation."

“The disciples of the Gongyang School of Confucianism are arrogant and not very willing to mix with us military strategists, but now they are not only in the same military formation, but also get along harmoniously!”

"Not only that, have you forgotten that they have the magical power of [immortality of the soul and indestructibility of the body]?"

"When a group of people who can constantly improve themselves and are not afraid of death give up their free and easy ideas and begin to abide by military rules and discipline, then this army will be strong."

"This army will become the most elite army in the Imperial Shang Dynasty, and no one will be able to defeat it!"

"Even if it's the most elite imperial guard of the Imperial Shang Dynasty, the Buddha Emperor Zhe!"

"General Guo!"

Guo Xiaoding, who was recuperating in the general's mansion, suddenly appeared in the martial arts field. He looked at the new soldiers jogging into the martial arts field, his one eye full of solemnity.

Chu Zhongxing's behavior outside the general's mansion did not hide it from him, and he knew very well how Chu Zhongxing had raised this new army.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Xiaoding was shocked.

Because from beginning to end, Chu Zhongxing did not do anything else. This group of new soldiers just came to the general's mansion with a purpose, and then at Chu Zhongxing's request, those who did not enter the stage of studying left on their own initiative.

Immediately afterwards, this group of new soldiers suddenly began to abide by military discipline and regulations. Not only did they quickly complete the formation, but they even maintained a decent formation while running to the Yancheng training ground.

You know, it took them less than an incense stick of time to get from the crowded crowd to the general's mansion.

And the most important thing is that the new army in the army includes military strategists and Confucianists.

The military strategists and Confucianists were in the same military formation. Not to mention Guo Xiaoding, even the emperor of the Shang Dynasty would not dare to think about such a thing.

"Since the Imperial Shang Dynasty, there has never been a situation where Confucianists and military strategists were in the same army, and now, this has happened right under my nose!"

Guo Xiaoding spoke in a very low voice. He looked at the new soldiers who came to the martial arts arena and began to line up to receive the ring-handled swords. Suddenly, an idea that frightened him popped up in his mind: "Confucianists and military strategists coexist in the same army. This does not seem to be the limit of Chu Zhongxing, but Yancheng only has Confucianists and military strategists.

If Yancheng had disciples from other schools, perhaps they could be integrated harmoniously into the army.”

"If the disciples of the Confucian, Military, Mohist, Agricultural, Medical, and even the Diplomatic, Legalist and other schools were in the same army."

Guo Xiaoding no longer dared to imagine that scene. The magical powers of each school of thought were different, and the magical powers of many schools could complement and help each other.

For example, doctors can use their magical powers to heal injuries, Confucians can persuade the enemy or even incite them to rebel, Mohists can use local materials to build siege equipment or quickly build camps, and farmers can use their magical powers to provide food, so that the army can move without having to worry about food and fodder.

Even novelists, Yin-Yangists, and Taoists can use their magical powers to inflict heavy damage to the enemy.

The various schools of thought were combined into one.
Plus the magical power of [immortal soul and indestructible body]!
Guo Xiaoding couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!
