Chapter 6: Go to Military Town!(1/2)
Baiyunfeng, Xiaowei Mansion.
"One can become a commander with one hundred thousand military merits, and one can become a captain with one million military merits, but the title of captain cannot be achieved by accumulating military merits."
"The realm of beheading magical powers cannot be circumvented no matter what."
"There are many people with strong supernatural powers in the army. Some of them were even captains when the Wu'an Army was founded. They are still captains now and are not allowed to join. Why? It's because combat prowess is a mandatory rule!"
"Master thinks you can become a titled captain, but before that, you must first obtain the title of captain in the Lingqiao realm. Only then will you have the opportunity to become a titled captain in the future." Yun Duo smiled and looked at Shen Zhui.
Shen Zhui nodded, he didn't expect to get it done overnight.
"Senior brother, why was Li Chengfeng able to become a titled captain? Is it possible that Li Chengfeng's strength is comparable to that of Master?" Shen asked, if this is the case, then Li Chengfeng's strength is too terrifying.
Even though he had made great progress after learning the Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, Shen Zhui knew that even if he exhausted all means, he would definitely be able to defeat Lu Yuanwei now.
"Hmph, Li Chengfeng is so virtuous and capable that he dares to be on an equal footing with Master." Yun Duo snorted coldly. "But his combat power should have reached the captain level, which is about the top level of the third level of magical power. The reason why he is titled Captain, because he wiped out two first-class sects."
"A first-class sect?" Shen Zhui was secretly shocked.
Fangwai sects are divided into three categories based on the strength of the sect, the founder, the masters within the sect, etc.
Third-rate sects, such as the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Five Ghost Sect, are the lowest level of existence. The sect was founded not long ago and has little foundation. It is usually founded by the peak or high-level people of the Spiritual Bridge Realm and occupies a place with rich spiritual energy. It is a sect that is self-contained and rarely exists in the realm of supernatural powers. This type of sect has the largest number. Almost 80% of the sects wiped out by the Wu'an Army throughout the year are third-rate sects like this.
The second-rate sects are stronger. Almost all of them that can be classified as second-rate sects are created by the supernatural realm, have hundreds of years of history, and have unique features, such as possessing spiritual veins or being good at refining weapons. Refining medicine, etc.
In this kind of sect, even if the founder of the sect dies, he will become the shadow god that protects the sect and ensures the sect's inheritance.
Those who can be classified as second-rate sects must have at least a few or a dozen people who are at the top of the Spiritual Bridge, and one or two beings in the supernatural realm.
It is extremely difficult to find the location of the mountain gate, and even if it is found, if you are not careful, it may be possible for the sect disciples to run away with the supernatural power.
As for the first-rate sects, there are powerful men with level 4 or above supernatural powers who are stationed at the gate! And there are more than one of them. The history of these sects is even longer than that of the Zhou Dynasty, and their whereabouts are extremely secretive!
This first-class sect has countless disciples and followers. Wu'an Army once wiped out a first-class sect, the Basa Sect, in history. This sect had hundreds of core disciples in the Lingqiao Realm alone! There were more than 50,000 outer disciples! Under the rule of There are over a million people! It’s like a small country!
"Li Chengfeng not only wiped out the first-class sect, but also two in a row?" Shen Zhui secretly thought, this was a great achievement that even the captain would be jealous of.
"Of course he can't do it on his own in the small Qilian Mountains." Yun Duo said with some disdain.
"If it weren't for the strong support of King Liang's people and secretly sending a titled captain to help, Li Chengfeng would never have been able to achieve such great achievements."
"Originally, Li Chengfeng's combat prowess can only be regarded as the rank of captain, and he is still far from being titled captain."
"However, there are people from the Liang Wang lineage who are building momentum for him, and relying on his military exploits in wiping out two first-class sects, he claims to the outside world that he has the strength to reluctantly seal the title."
"At the peak of Lingqiao Realm, he has the strength to barely get a title, and with his meritorious service and the support of the Liang Wang family, Li Chengfeng has really been canonized by the imperial court, and will soon become a titled Captain, showing off his power as a general."
"That's it." Shen Zhui finally solved a doubt in his mind.
"The power of being titled Captain is so great and the benefits are so many that it's hard to estimate. Li Chengfeng used external forces to get ahead in this way, and he has always been criticized for being in an improper position." Yun Duo said lightly.
"Originally, if he could break through to the magical realm before being granted the title, he should be barely close to the strength of the titled Captain. Although others were talking about it, they couldn't say much. But now it's April, and he still hasn't been able to break through, criticizing There are more voices. Many people are opposing Li Chengfeng’s sealing.”
"He deserves it." Shen Zhui sneered.
The title of real power in the military must be obtained in an honest and upright manner. Otherwise, Shen chased a Jinwu commander and launched a recruitment war. He asked a titled captain like Lu Yuanwei to help secretly. He first beat a large number of powerful people in the supernatural power realm for him until they were on the verge of death, and then Let Shen Zhui kill him again...Does this mean that Shen Zhui has the strength to be titled a school captain?
Of course it's impossible! If military success is achieved in this way, who can accept such a high position?
But Li Chengfeng really did this. Although it was a bit hidden and he had a certain combat power, it was related to such a big matter as being titled Captain, so of course there was something fishy about it that couldn't be hidden!
Virtue does not match the situation, which is the case of Li Chengfeng.
Others first gain strength and make contributions, and then get their position and enjoy the corresponding status and resources.
However, Li Chengfeng came to power first, took advantageous resources, and then slowly cultivated to that level. Of course, he would attract a lot of criticism.
It was good that he had broken through to the magical realm. With Li's talent, no one would say anything if he reached the threshold, but he didn't.
"Let's not mention him. You are now the commander of Jinwu, and you are not qualified to be involved in matters of this level. If you want to bring down Li Chengfeng, you must first accumulate millions of military merits." Yun Duo said.
"Once you accumulate one million military merits, you can be promoted to a captain. At this time, if you kill another person in the magical realm, Tianxin Palace will confer you a title of captain. However, Master and I will not lie for you. , you must have real combat power. If you reach one million military merits and do not have this combat power, Tianxin Temple will only promote you to the rank of captain." Yun Duo explained.
"Junior brother, I understand." Shen Zhui nodded.
If you have achieved a million-dollar military merit and are promoted to a captain, if you have a record of killing magical powers, you can become a captain in one step.
If not, he is just a captain.
Compared with the requirements for strength, there is no difference in the requirements for military merit between a school captain and a titled captain. Both are worth one million.
Strength is the foundation. With strength, Tianxin Temple provides status, honor, resource benefits, and many opportunities for the titled captain to perform meritorious service in battle.
"Your commander's first battle has not yet been fought. With your current strength, the intelligence originally prepared for you is not enough." Yun Duo took out a map that already filled most of the golden paper and said with some emotion.
What he originally prepared for Shen Zhui was a stronger third-rate sect, but now that Shen Zhui went to attack this third-rate sect, he was overqualified and overqualified.
Lu Yuanwei promised to help Shen Zhui get promoted to captain as quickly as possible.
Although we can't directly help him, we can still prepare resources and intelligence, which is no problem.
"Your strength is developing rapidly. If you waste more time on such a weak sect, you will lose more than you gain."
"Master means, let me exchange this information with others and prepare you with information about the location of the second-rate sect's mountain gate."
"Second-rate sect?" Shen Zhui nodded. A second-rate sect has a powerful person in the supernatural realm sitting in charge. It is thought that the purpose is to let him get to the point in one step and quickly shorten the time to accumulate military merit.
Yun Duo pondered for a moment and said: "In half a month, half a month at the latest, I will send the information about the second-rate sect to you."
"In the past half month, you have worked hard to improve your strength and integrate your subordinates. If you fail, it will take a lot of time and resources to try again. Shen Zhui, do you understand?" Yun Duo asked.
"Yes." Shen Zhui nodded.
How can the intelligence of a second-rate sect be so good? Determine the location of the mountain gate, investigate the strength of the disciples, including the powerful ones in the supernatural realm. The cost of resources paid during this period is unimaginable. Although the rewards after success are also huge, this kind of The threshold for initial investment is too high!
It was so high that it would scare away many school captains, so only the titled school captains or captains would attack the powerful second-rate sects.
Now this second-rate sect's information was funded by Yun Duo and Lu Yuanwei. Shen Zhui didn't have to pay anything, but Shen Zhui also understood.
You only get one chance!
If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get this kind of opportunity for free in the future.
After flying to the captain's mansion, Shen Zhui looked at the mountains in the distance and secretly clenched his fists.
"Half a month... It's the beginning of April now, and Li Chengfeng's sealing is at the end of April. Time is tight and I won't be allowed to fail."
…………
After returning to his command house, Shen Zhui stayed in the secret room to meditate and sort out what he had learned.
Ever since he discovered the miraculous effects of the "Shadowless Divine Art" last time, Shen Zhui no longer dared to despise any method.
The side door may not be the side door, but the left path is not the main road!
"Boom! Boom!" In the quiet room, Shen Zhui's heartbeat could be heard clearly.
And to his ears, it was like a thundering drum.
After a long time, Shen Zhui opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"The great method of spiritual transference of the five senses, entering the third level, hearing."
"Now even if I close my spiritual consciousness and close my eyes without using a psychic compass, I can hear clearly everything within ten miles." Shen Zhui sighed slightly.
This great method of moving the five senses is not obvious, but it was only when he really practiced it that he felt its magic.
His current spiritual consciousness is already at the peak level of Spiritual Bridge, and logically speaking, there is no way forward. However, using the first level of the Five Senses Divine Movement Technique can still increase his spiritual consciousness again!
The second level, vision, can see extremely subtle things. Night vision is just the most basic. He can even see clearly where a seemingly perfect spiritual weapon is actually relatively weak.
As his cultivation improved, Shen Zhui felt that he could even sense the circulation of physical spiritual energy in the enemy's body.
"Is it possible that one day, this five-sensory spiritual movement method can really allow people to develop magical powers such as clairvoyance and wind ears?"
Shaking his head, Shen Zhui took out the God-killing Sword again, and it was already nourished by spiritual power.
Now, the blade embryo has been fully formed. The entire blade is one and a half meters long, with flowing light and hidden spirituality. He can feel the desire emanating from the God-killing Sword, and there is truly a trace of spirituality in it.
"Don't be anxious, sooner or later the day will come when you show up." Shen Zhui said softly, stroking the God-killing Sword.
The blade trembled slightly, as if responding to Shen Zhui. After a moment of nourishment, Shen Zhui put the God-killing Sword back into the storage ring again.
The spirituality in the God-killing Sword gradually grows. If it can be successfully upgraded to level four or above, a weak weapon spirit can be born. Even if no one is controlling it, it can still exert a certain power and be regarded as a true magic weapon.
"There are more than 8,000 people on Baiyun Peak. Except for the 2,000 people recruited from the reserve army in the early stage, the rest are all veterans. Those four military towns should also be taken back." Shen Zhui thought.
The recruitment battle is about to begin. Since Yun Duo promised him half a month at the latest, he must not exceed this time limit.
There are now more than 10,000 people under his command, which has long been reduced from its original size. However, as a general, he does not know much about his subordinates.
Many people in the team have never even seen Shen Zhui.
Similarly, Shen Zhui only had a rough idea of the strength of his soldiers. Even in wartime, he only had to control the troops at the first level, but there were many of them, and he didn't even know what they looked like, what their specific strengths were, and what they were good at.
The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. This is a taboo on the battlefield. It is imperative to integrate the soldiers.
When he had only 5,000 men under his command, he had given up four military cities to Helian Lie and others. Now it is time to take them back!
Shen Zhui took out his token and quickly sent the message.
"Yuecheng Yuechi, beat the dragon and phoenix drums."
"Pass my order, except for the new recruits selected from the reserve army, all the rest should assemble! If you don't arrive within two quarters of an hour, you will be dealt with according to military law!"
To be continued...
