838 The Recruitment of the Four Generals-in-chief
“The Kingdom of Dawn has established the Military Pavilion, which is in charge of all the armies in the kingdom. The Military Pavilion is only responsible for me. Those who are not soldiers are not allowed to interfere with the pavilion’s operation, criticize the Internal Affairs personnel at will, or be involved in Internal Affairs. Soldiers only needed to cultivate, become stronger, and kill enemies. All resources will be given priority. We will satisfy the needs as much as possible and protect the interests of the soldiers to the greatest extent.”
Internal Affairs could not interfere with military affairs. This was the status that Li Xiang gave to the army. This was a status that soldiers had never enjoyed in history.
All the emperors had a natural fear of soldiers because the power of the army could seize the world and establish a dynasty. Similarly, once the power of the army was out of control, it would endanger their benefits.
There were countless examples of controlling military power.
The status of a soldier was not valued in every dynasty.
However, the Military Pavilion was not affected by any external officials. It could be said that this was the highest position and the greatest freedom that soldiers could obtain. They were truly not restricted by external factors and were not affected by the outside world. They could maintain the pure essence of a soldier.
This was not a matter of power, but a form of respect. It was something that many soldiers pursued throughout their entire lives.
It had to be said that at this moment, many veterans were already tempted.
They couldn’t exist independently from the people. The army protected the people, and the people supported the army. This was the most basic relationship between the army and the people. It was just that after the various authorities were involved in the middle, there were too many other factors mixed in, causing the relationship between the army and the people to change.
However, it was different now. It was a chaotic world, and chaotic times were the best time for soldiers to play their roles.
If there were no citizens who needed their protection, then they would lose the meaning of their existence.
With Li Xiang’s identity as the ruler of a country, he couldn’t go back on his words, nor could he do anything to deceive them.
Therefore, this must be the true current situation in the Kingdom of Dawn.
“Does the Kingdom of Dawn allow women to lead soldiers into the army?” Hua Mulan asked.
“Of course, the Kingdom of Dawn doesn’t have the custom of men being superior to women. Even if there is, I won’t allow it. As long as one cultivates, regardless of gender, everyone could become a powerhouse. There was no fundamental difference. Women are not necessarily inferior to men. The Human race civilization is originally made up of men and women. Not only could women join the army, but as long as they were talented, they could also become generals. It’s not a problem for women to lead the army in battle!” Li Xiang said without hesitation.
“We need to think about it!” Feng Qinglin and the others looked at each other and said.
“Sure! It’s not too late to give the results within three days.” Li Xiang nodded.
Feng Qinglin shook his head and said, “How can it take three days? One day is enough!”
“Alright, just one day!” Li Xiang nodded in agreement.
Then, he looked at the other free soldiers and veterans and said, “Brothers in the army, as long as you are willing, the Kingdom of Dawn welcomes you. In the Kingdom of Dawn, you’re free to choose whether you join the army or become a common civilian. Even if you don’t want to join the army, you can still become a hunter. There are Hunter Hall and Demon Suppression Hall in the kingdom. You can become Bounty Hunters by hunting fierce beasts and completing bounty missions to obtain cultivation resources.”
Whether it was joining the army or becoming a hunter, as long as they joined the Kingdom of Dawn, it would be a victory for the kingdom.
…
Not to mention that this battle started and ended quickly, and the Kingdom of Dawn was also in the midst of a storm.
The news of the Orc Alliance Army attacking the Kingdom of Dawn spread to the surrounding tens of thousands of miles in the shortest time, and even to the regions further away.
However, it was also confirmed that the battlefield would be outside the Great Wall of Iron Blood. After all, the little Golden Behemoth was nailed to the great wall and was still dripping blood. They could not ignore it.
In that case, the reputation of the Orc Alliance Army would be ruined.
With the powerful vitality of the Golden Behemoth, this bit of blood was not a problem at all. It could not even threaten its life. However, it was still nailed to the city wall, which made it feel extremely ashamed. It kept its eyes closed and ignored everything in the outside world.
The Army of Dawn had begun to gather.
On the Great Wall of Iron Blood, there was a sentry post every three steps and five steps. The figures in battle armor emitted a strong iron blood aura.
The number of soldiers in the Kingdom of Dawn’s military camp had reached more than five million. All of them were elites. With the addition of a small portion of the most elite garrison troops from the various villages and towns, the number of soldiers gathered had reached tens of millions.
Of course, these armies couldn’t all be gathered in one place to defend. They were distributed in various cities along the border of the Kingdom of Dawn, and there was also a part of the reserve force.
Due to the Starlight Canopy, the Kingdom of Dawn wasn’t affected by the outside world. There was also a teleportation array within the kingdom. The speed of the mobilization of troops was fast enough. As long as the teleportation array wasn’t destroyed immediately, reinforcements could arrive at any time.
Moreover, the citizens in the city were all Transcendents. They could all be soldiers if a crisis came.
Although the number of people in the border cities was not as many as in the inland, each city had at least 500,000 to 600,000 people. Some could reach 700,000 to 800,000 people, and there were quite a few that reached the million mark.
Even at the last moment, the teleportation array could be activated to gather all the soldiers and civilians in the surrounding villages and towns.
In every city, every civilian exuded a murderous aura.
Of course, the tensest atmosphere was naturally in the nearby city where the little Golden Behemoth was nailed to the city wall.
The businessmen were no longer in the mood to do business. Instead, they were sharpening their knives. The farmers were not in the mood to farm either. They carried their hoes and swung them back and forth with fierce eyes.
“The war is about to begin! This battle has attracted quite a lot of attention. Many experts that we’ve never seen before have appeared.” Young Master Xu Kong clicked his tongue in amazement. He waved the jade fan in his hand, looking very pleased with himself.
His eyes swept across the surroundings, revealing a meaningful expression.
For example, a group of young men and women gathered together on a street. These people were all wearing longswords and had cultivation. Each of them had a different temperament from common civilians.
Their temperament was neither otherworldly nor extraordinary. However, there was a strong sense of pride and confidence in them.
They seemed to be extremely curious about the outside world. They were like young disciples who had lived in the mountains for a long time and had just come out to experience.
They looked like a fledgling who had just begun to see the world.
The group of five or six people arrived at a place called the Immortal Inn. This inn provided accommodation and meals.
