Chapter 58: The Great Army Completes Its Training

  Everyone has a belief, which is different from faith but equally important. These militiamen now have both faith and belief at the same time, which is also why they are so fanatical and desperate to join the army!

  There are many people like Xiaohuzi, in their hearts, they all have a dream, that is to become a member of the Great Immortal Master's personal guard, or even the guardian personally appointed by the Immortal Master!

  "With such a mighty army at hand, how can Master Xianshi worry that great things will not flourish?"

  Guan Hai saw this, and his eyes also had a shaking color, saying with unparalleled pride.

  "Yes, with a united heart, we all respect the immortal master. To die for the immortal master is worth it, and I, Wu Qing, can be loyal to the immortal master and entrust him with important tasks, this life is worth it!"

  Wu Qing's eyes sparkled as he said.

  This assessment is extremely cruel, with an elimination rate that's too high. Out of 20,000 elite militiamen, only 6,000 can join the army. Every single person is fighting so hard, the situation is so intense, it's really hard to imagine. Countless people are swaying, as if they're about to fall, but their faith, the conviction in their hearts, gives them endless motivation!

  This is a kind of sublimation, this is the importance of people's hearts, and it is also what Zhang Xu has been pursuing all along, and it is also the significance of his continuous consolidation of foundation. With the existence of these people, he can be an enemy of the world!

  After three days, after another three days of intense competition, six thousand people were finally selected. At this moment, although their faces were extremely tired, they stood upright like a standard, without any wavering. This assessment was no less than a cruel war, and those who emerged from it, even Gan He and Wu Qing couldn't help but glance at them in admiration. They seemed to be no worse than the five thousand elite sons!

  "What a pity!"

  Looking at the remaining eliminated people, the shameful expression on their faces, Guan Hai sighed, but was powerless. For the first time, he felt a pang of hatred towards his own strength. If it weren't for him and Wu Qing's strength being still too weak, if the two of them could improve by one level, then they would be able to incorporate all these soldiers into the army. Unfortunately, they fell short.

  However, this is also good. These 6,000 people and those 5,000 militia are no worse than the old militia before. With more than a month's time, they can be trained into seasoned soldiers. This is what I, Wu Qing, must repay to Master Xian and them!

  Wu Qing said with a firm expression.

  "Then let's work together, no matter what, and make them first-class veterans. All it takes is one big battle to become true elite soldiers!"

  Gan Hai's eyes gleamed with excitement.

  …………

  "Hah, I didn't expect this time to have such a harvest. The 11,000 new recruits summoned are actually no less than the old militia from Qinglin Town back then. It's really an unexpected joy! It seems that heaven is on my side too. Taking down Donglai County won't be a problem at all!"

  After Zhang Xu reported, he also sighed repeatedly. Everything is now developing in a good direction. At this time, the guards are all working hard to reach the peak of the fierce soldiers, and more and more people have emerged. Unfortunately, no one has yet broken through to that step. The four guards are only one step away, but this step is like a natural moat, difficult to break through!

  In Zhang Xu's heart, he was extremely happy. This time the military expansion had given him a great surprise, making his heart full of joy beyond measure.

  "General Hei and Wu Qing, even if they had issued a military order, would definitely train these soldiers into veterans at the time of the attack. They only need to go through one battle to grow into elite soldiers. This is the best affirmation for these soldiers!"

  Thinking of this, Zhang Xu became extremely happy: "Without sufficient generals, what can be done? My great army will certainly become a hundred-battle-hardened soldier when facing those strong enemies. At that time, it can also inspire the power of military morale, only powerful elite troops can inspire the power of military morale, this is my fundamental, incense and fire faith, now finally start to exert its power!"

  Zhang Xu clearly knew that being able to achieve this effect was the result of the efforts of all the militia, and his subordinates were no less than the regular troops of ordinary princes. This was his strong point: hiding wealth among the people, hiding soldiers among the people, and at any time and place, they could provide him with sufficient military resources!

  The only pity is the general, but Zhang Xu believes that even without that pattern, with the help of his Xianghuo Xin Yang Zhi Dao Jing Shen Fu and the efforts of the guards under his command, a general can still emerge sooner or later.

  Thus, time passed day by day, and the army of 100,000 soldiers, 20 battalions, and 10 brigades under the leadership of old soldiers dispersed evenly, with their combat effectiveness constantly recovering and improving. Meanwhile, Wu Qing's army of 10 battalions and 5 brigades also fought tirelessly, and both generals made a military oath to take responsibility for their words and actions and fight for their own glory!

  An army of 15,000, under such circumstances, began to grow stronger and stronger, transforming from a ragtag militia into true soldiers, and more importantly, their willpower became unshakeable. With sufficient supplies, not one person complained of fatigue, and a day's training was equivalent to ten days' worth for other vassal armies - this was the source of their strength!

  In just one month, a short period of time, 15,000 troops were truly trained. At this point, Wu Qing and Guan Hai also finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the military order to Ding Yuan!

  "Haha, you two generals have worked hard! You've actually completed your promise nearly ten days ahead of schedule. I'm overjoyed!"

  Zhang Xu listened to the two people's report, extremely delighted.

  "We owe it all to the support of Master Xian and the hard work of our soldiers. However, we still request that Master Xian inspect the troops to see if they meet the standards!"

  Guan Hai and Wu Qing immediately stood up, knelt down and kowtowed.

  "Good, reviewing the troops is indeed what should be done. Having done it ten days in advance will undoubtedly allow me to have a more thorough understanding of the army's strength, and attacking Donglai County will be even more assured, haha!"

  Zhang Xu stood up, waved his sleeve and laughed loudly.

  "Welcome, Master Xianshi!"

  The second will once again clench his fist and shout, this is when he stands up.

  "Review the troops!"

  Zhang Xu swung his sleeve and was about to leave, while Wu Zhong immediately followed closely behind him for protection. At the same time, the twelve guards and deputy guards also followed closely, and all thirteen of them were slightly stunned, their eyes fixed firmly on Zhang Xu. Since the friendly army was working so hard, as the guardians of Xian Sheng, they had to fight even harder. Ten days might be enough!
