Chapter 287: The Forty-Eight Green Banner Army, the Step to Advancement! (Two in One)

The one-month new recruit camp passed quickly, and the process was boring and tedious.

Song Changming was in it, and most of the time no one dared to offend him, but there were also a few people who coveted his position as deputy general and dared to challenge him.

Among them was Zhao Li, who was originally a centurion.

Although Zhao Linxin no longer helped him, he was still unwilling to give up silently, so he came to challenge.

Although Zhao Li was not sure that he could beat Song Changming, he did not think that he had no chance of winning.

His personal strength was actually not weak. With his own efforts and the help of the Zhao family, he entered the Xiantian realm early and opened two earth martial veins.

And now he is on the verge of opening the third earth martial vein. Among the centurions, this strength is definitely one of the best.

If not, he would not be the strongest competitor for the position of deputy general.

But unfortunately, he is not Fu Yuan after all. Even though his innate cultivation of the two earth martial veins is higher than Song Changming, he still cannot stop the explosion of Song Changming's three dragon powers!

In the end, he was defeated, and even the sharp blade in his hand was chopped off by Song Changming.

"If you can open the third earth martial vein, maybe there will be some chances." Song Changming looked at Zhao Li, who was lying on the ground and had tried his best, and said bluntly.

Zhao Li was angry and got up and left without saying a word.

He knew this, but opening the earth martial veins was not such an easy thing. He had been stuck in this bottleneck for more than a year and had not been able to break through.

And there was only one chance to challenge in front of him.

In the future, when Song Changming officially took up the position of adjutant, such a challenge would naturally not exist.

"After all, I am too weak." Zhao Li knew that he had no chance of becoming the deputy general.

Song Changming didn't care too much about what Zhao Li thought.

In the competition for the position, success and failure naturally divided people into two groups.

After the recruit camp, most of the nearly 2,000 recruits in the camp will become the reserve of the 41st Banner Army.

A few recruits, due to their strong strength and outstanding performance in the recruit camp, will be directly selected and join the regular army as fresh blood.

A very small number of them even became soldiers, that is, those captains and centurions.

And those who command thousands of people are generals.

In this recruit camp, only Song Changming became a general.

Although he is only a deputy general, this is also a rare exception, enough to be talked about in the army.

Song Changming has thus emerged and has a little reputation in the army.

Outside the recruit camp, Fu Yuan had been waiting for a long time and walked towards Song Changming.

"Let's go, it's time to report to the general." Fu Yuan smiled, with a kind look on his face.

Although he is powerful and his set of White Tiger Spear Techniques is domineering, he is a gentle person in private, which is not in line with the vast majority of wild men in the army.

"Okay." Song Changming nodded and followed.

"How is it, have you adapted to the life in the barracks?" Fu Yuan asked along the way.

"Not bad, but I need a lot of high-level blood and flesh ingredients for my body training, and it's not easy to supply them in the barracks." Song Changming said.

"It won't be the case in the future. There are more restrictions in the recruit camp. For us generals, there won't be so many restrictions at ordinary times, and we don't need to eat and live with others in the barracks." Fu Yuan smiled.

Song Changming nodded, he knew this.

As generals in the army, they have some privileges. When they are not on a mission, they only need to report to take off their armor and go out of the station at any time. They are much freer than ordinary soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that Song Changming is willing to join the army.

If the constraints in the army are too strong, he will have to make other considerations.

"I heard that Zhao Li challenged you in the recruit camp?" Fu Yuan suddenly asked.

This is what happened two days ago, before the recruit camp was about to end.

"Yeah." Song Changming nodded, "His martial arts skills are not bad."

"Among the hundreds of centurions in the army, he is one of the strongest ones in terms of martial arts skills, and he has the support of the Zhao family behind him.

Although it is only a branch of the Zhao family, if you hadn't appeared, I'm afraid that this deputy general position would most likely be given to him." Fu Yuan said suddenly.

"He and Zhao Linxin?" Song Changming asked suddenly after hearing this.

"Zhao Linxin is a member of the Zhao family, and he has strongly recommended him to the general." Fu Yuan explained, and Song Changming instantly understood the complicated relationship between them.

"So that's it." Song Changming nodded.

It seems that his sudden appearance this time and taking the position of deputy general also involved the interests of many people.

It's no wonder that Zhao Linxin was hostile to him before and didn't like him.

Zhao Li would choose to fight and challenge him in the end.

"Zhao family?"

Whether it was the Dahan in the past, or the Dalai later, or the human world of this ancient Yuan country.

There are always aristocratic families and local tyrants.

Song Changming is not surprised by this, and feels that it should be so.

When a family cultivates a unicorn child, it can instantly drive the prosperity of the entire family behind it and achieve class transition.

And if the family is well managed, it can take advantage of this to collect a large amount of materials and continue to cultivate more outstanding people, and the high-quality family children will become the backbone.

Then this family will not be a flash in the pan, but will continue to grow and become a behemoth, gaining status, prestige and voice.

In this way, the prototype of an aristocratic family is formed.

Throughout the history of the human race, there has never been a shortage of strong men who suddenly shine, and as long as there are strong men, such aristocratic families will only rise and fall, with no possibility of cessation.

But Song Changming knew clearly that he was alone and suddenly broke into this place to compete for interests with these wealthy families.

The current position of a small deputy general may not attract the attention of the Zhao family.

But in the future, when he wants to plan greater interests for himself, he will inevitably encounter obstacles and even hostility from these aristocratic families.

There are only so many resources, and the whole cake is so big. If he takes a bite, someone will take one less bite.

For this, he needs to prepare in advance.

"You don't have to worry about anything. You are the deputy general appointed by the general. Even if the Zhao family has any objections, they will only target the general, not you."

Fu Yuan saw that Song Changming was thoughtful and thought he was afraid of the Zhao family, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"General Xing, like us, comes from a poor background. He doesn't like the aristocratic family to monopolize his position, so he is more willing to protect powerless people like us. This is also an important reason why he promoted you to lieutenant general."

Song Changming suddenly said: "I think the general's promotion of me should be more than this."

Fu Yuan smiled and nodded. He felt that Song Changming's mind was moving very quickly. He was a smart man. He didn't mince words and spoke straightforwardly.

"General Xing's four lieutenants, two of them were forced in by aristocratic families. They work for the general on the surface, but in fact they are only loyal to their own families.

What you and I have to do is to become the general's true confidant and support the general's decision. "

When Song Changming heard this, he nodded and said, "This is natural."

Xing Tiexin's promotion of him couldn't be a sudden decision. He wanted to find someone of his own to enrich his wings.

But Song Changming happened to appear and became his best candidate.

Song Changming had no objection to this.

As long as Xing Tiexin doesn't do anything extraordinary, he will fulfill his duties and obligations.

"Then we will be traveling together from now on." Fu Yuan said happily.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the No. 41 Cui Banner Army garrison in the Second City.

Song Changming also met Xing Tiexin again.

"General."

The two of them bowed their hands.

"No need to be polite." Xing Tiexin smiled lightly and also asked about Song Changming's situation and feelings in the new barracks.

Song Changming answered them one by one.

"From now on, as my lieutenant general, you and I will have to overcome many things together. What you have to do is not only go into battle to kill the enemy, but also many other tasks. You must be prepared."

"yes."

After a conversation, Fu Yuan took Song Changming to get two sets of military armor.

In the future, you will need to wear this armor that represents your identity when entering or leaving the station or traveling on missions.

In addition, you can remove your armor and wear private clothes in private.

"If brother Song is unlucky with his weapons, you can tell me and the general that the army has better weapons and equipment." Fu Yuan explained, leading Song Changming around the station to familiarize himself with this main office space.

The people who come in and out of the entire station on a daily basis are all the main officers of the No. 41 Banner Army.

The hierarchy is from low to high, centurion, deputy general, flag general, minor flag leader, flag leader.

In addition, there are a number of civilian officials to assist with day-to-day tasks.

There were nearly three hundred people in total, neither too many nor too few.

Song Changming also basically understood this military framework in the new military camp.

The captain is equivalent to the squad leader, leading ten soldiers into the battle.

The centurion led a hundred men to form a square formation to defeat the enemy.

They are collectively called the big and small pawn commanders.

Then there is the banner general, who is also the chief general, commanding thousands of troops. At this stage, he is the senior general in the army.

For such a flag army, there are usually only ten flag generals and dozens of lieutenants in total.

Further up, there are the big and small flag masters.

The junior flag master is a candidate for the main flag master, which is almost similar to the relationship between the flag general and the deputy general.

There is only one flag master, commanding the entire flag army of tens of thousands of people!

Although a force of tens of thousands does not seem to be too much, in the regular army, even the weakest unknown soldiers are warriors with the strength of the eighth or ninth level of body refining!

And if they are elite, they must have martial arts cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm.

In the Da Lai martial arts world, this is already qualified to aspire to the top of both world rankings!

But here, these Qi-refining warriors are just one of the vast number of soldiers, and the limit is for a few to become captains.

The centurions who are higher up generally have super combat power in the innate realm!

The military system of Guyuan Kingdom later basically followed the elite military strategy.

Just because ordinary soldiers will face those many alien monsters, they are not even cannon fodder.

For example, the military strength of the Dalai Kingdom, even if it is a million-strong army, will have no effect at all except to feed the many alien monsters.

To put it simply, an army that cannot kill demons is useless!

Therefore, Guyuan Kingdom needs truly elite soldiers and generals more than quantity!

There are forty-eight such flag armies in the entire Cui Banner Army.

This can be regarded as the strong family fortune accumulated by the King Cui for hundreds of years, and it is an important force in protecting Cuibai Road from being invaded by foreign tribes.

"Fu Yuan."

Suddenly someone stopped the two people who were visiting the station.

Song Changming took a look and saw that the other party's armor had different patterns and looked more noble.

Fu Yuan on the side had already raised his hands and saluted, "I have met Mr. Yang."

When Song Changming saw this, he followed suit and saluted.

"This must be the recruit recruited by Lao Xing." Yang Zhen asked, already looking at Song Changming.

Song Changming was subconsciously on guard, feeling that the martial arts strength of the person in front of him was unfathomable, and standing in front of him posed a great threat to him.

"Yes, I just finished the new military camp today, and General Mo is taking him to familiarize himself with the station." Fu Yuangong said.

"Well, it's indeed extraordinary. Lao Xing has caught a treasure this year." Yang Zhen smiled, looked away and left with his hands behind his back.

Fu Yuan watched the other party go away, and then said softly: "Master Yang was born in a poor family, and now he is the leader of a small banner in the army. He has outstanding abilities and a bright future. He is on the same page as our general."

When Song Changming heard this, he nodded and took note of this military commander, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Sure enough, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is an unchanging truth."

The military, which seems to be united to the outside world, slays demons and protects the human race, also has factional competition in private to seek their own interests.

Xing Tiexin promoted him, and there were people behind him who were supporting Xing Tiexin.

It is human nature for similar people to stick together, and there is nothing wrong with that.

As long as you don't get dizzy in front of big rights and wrongs, you can tolerate it.

After walking around to get familiar with each other, Fu Yuan took Song Changming to an important place.

It looks a bit like a general's mansion, not too big in scale, and there are several other similar mansions nearby.

"This is where we deal with important matters on weekdays. No one else will enter, only a few of us." Fu Yuan said, leading Song Changming into it.

By chance, Zhao Linxin walked out.

Behind him were three or two centurions, including Zhao Li who had challenged Song Changming.

Zhao Linxin looked at Fu Yuan, then at Song Changming who was approaching, and curled his lips with a smile.

"Fu Yuan, congratulations on having a good brother as your companion."

"Brother Song is indeed worth getting to know. From now on, Brother Zhao can also get close to you." Fu Yuan smiled back and said warmly.

"There will be a chance." Zhao Linxin said calmly, said no more, and strode away.

"If you have any questions from now on, you can come and ask me." Fu Yuan said a few more words before leaving.

Song Changming looked at a small courtyard in the mansion, which was both his resting place and his workstation.

As Xing Tiexin's deputy general, his main duty is to share the work of the general, wait for orders, and continue to learn and hone in the process.

They are all candidates for the commander-in-chief in name, and they must always prepare for promotion to the commander-in-chief.

Of course, whether it can go up is another matter.

In addition, the deputy general's monthly salary is fifty spiritual coins and five low-grade spiritual crystals for cultivation materials.

This basic salary is not low, and the spiritual crystal also meets part of the training needs of the innate warrior.

If you include the rewards after completing some tasks or the rewards after encountering some wars, the income will be even more impressive.

In fact, the rewards after the war are the true value of joining the army.

It's just that Cuibai Road is currently peaceful. Only Maple City when Song Changming came was attacked by some monsters.

For this reason, the Cui Banner Army had already been dispatched to suppress it, but it was not the turn of Song Changming's Fan Banner Army.

Time has stepped up and passed day by day.

With his excellent strength and talent, Song Changming, who obtained the status of deputy general in the army, had an excellent start.

He also settled down in the main city of Cuibai as he wished.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Leicheng is located in the west of Cuibai Road and is one of the twenty-eight large cities.

The terrain here is difficult and dangerous, with many mountains and many stone veins. It is famous for its rich production of various stones.

More than 70% of the stone materials on the entire Cuibai Road were mined and supplied here.

Leicheng was originally blocked by mountain roads, and its development has always lagged behind other cities on Cuibai Road.

It was not until King Cui later ordered that the mountains be opened up and roads opened up, and manpower and effort were expended to open up the mountain roads, that the place developed and took off thanks to the stone trade.

Today, Leicheng has a registered population of over one million, not counting the population of numerous surrounding villages and towns.

The diners in a restaurant suddenly saw a large number of soldiers and horses passing by on the street outside the window, and couldn't help but recognize that they were the Cui Banner Army sent by the main city.

"This spiritual crystal vein outside the city has been mined from last year to this year. Is it not finished yet?"

"Who knows? How can such secrets be disclosed to the outside world? But it should be a large vein, otherwise it would not have been mined for so long. With so many spiritual crystals, our King Cui will make a fortune."

"Whether it's good to get rich or not, we can prepare more military power to keep our Cuibai Road safe for generations to come."

"That's true. I just hope that I won't be taken advantage of by some black sheep."

"Hey, it's so far-fetched. It's not something we ordinary people can control."

"I heard that recently, demon clans have appeared frequently outside, seemingly trying to snatch the unearthed spiritual crystals."

"Isn't there a Cui Banner Army stationed here? It's okay."

"Well, I hope so, but be sure not to lure those monsters into the city to do evil."

"."

While these diners were talking, the private room inside was suddenly opened.

Several people wearing cloud armor and extraordinary weapons walked out and headed downstairs.

One of them just glanced at the diners out of the corner of his eye. The powerful aura instantly made them feel as if they were frozen, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

It wasn't until a few people walked out of the restaurant that the diners were relieved.

"If you read correctly, those few should be the generals of the Cui Banner Army!"

"It's so scary. Just one look at me almost made me pee!"

"It's natural to be scary. If they are not fierce enough, how can they deal with those alien monsters."

"That's true."

On the other side, Xing Tiexin, who had just walked out of the restaurant, frowned and said, "Fu Yuan, you and Changming are responsible for guarding the mine tonight. Be careful. I'm afraid that group of spiders will come again recently!"

"Yes." The two of them straightened their faces and nodded in agreement.

Song Changming felt the abundant innate energy in his body, and some unusual waves gradually emerged in the stability.

His mind sank into it, and he vaguely felt that the bottleneck became more and more clear.

Looking at the darkening sky, he thought about it, but still didn't say anything.

"Thanks to the spiritual crystal mine, tonight, it's finally going to break through!"
