910 Organizing the Army Groups
However, it was different for a Marquis. Unless one committed a major crime and was stripped of the title, otherwise this was a Heaven and Earth Rank that could be passed down.
Even if the Heaven and Earth Rank would continue to be reduced in the future, it would be different from an official position that could be replaced at any time.
More importantly, the Heaven and Earth Rank of a noble title and an official position could overlap. Even if it would be reduced later, the luck power that overlapped was not something that a single official position could compare to.
In this chaotic world, this had an unparalleled temptation.
At this moment, even the breathing of the generals became a little hurried, and their eyes became incomparably burning.
“Qi Jiguang, listen up!”
Li Xiang looked at Qi Jiguang who was standing below.
Ever since the Dawn was established, Qi Jiguang had officially joined the Kingdom of Dawn and entered the Military Pavilion. He had joined as an ordinary soldier, ate and slept with the soldiers, accepted missions, killed fierce beasts, and attacked the foreign races. He had stood out from the rest during the training.
In just a few months in the army, he had already won the hearts of most of the soldiers and successfully entered the Military Pavilion to be promoted to general.
In addition, he was a militarist of the Immortal Academy, so he was like a duck to water in the army.
Usually, he would discuss the art of war with Zhao Yun and the other generals. He would even deduce battle arrays on the chessboard and study combat techniques. Every time he attacked, he would kill in one blow. He was decisive in the killing. In terms of military tactics, even Zhao Yun admired him greatly.
The two of them admired and appreciated each other, and were on good terms.
With his abilities, such a person would not lie to the unknown no matter where he was. He was like an awl in the bag, and there would always be a time when he would show his talents.
“I’m here!”
Qi Jiguang stepped forward and bowed.
“Qi Jiguang is the commander of the Dragon Army Group. The number of troops is 200,000. You can allocate the soldiers by yourself. You’re given the Dragon Commander’s Tally.” Li Xiang once again conferred another general position.
A Dragon Commander’s Tally appeared in the air and split open. Half of it fell in front of Li Xiang and the other half fell into Qi Jiguang’s hand.
“Thank you, King!”
Qi Jiguang bowed and held the other half commander’s tally in his hand. He felt not only authority but also a heavy responsibility. As the army group commander, he represented the soldiers’ lives. Every decision and order he made was related to the lives of countless people and the fate of countless families in the Kingdom of Dawn.
“The Four Symbols Army Groups will only have the Dragon and the Vermillion Bird Army Groups for now. As for the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise, I’ll put them aside for the time being. Other than that, I plan to build four more army groups, named the Demon Slayer, Devil Destroyer, Immortal Trapper, and God Slayer. In addition to the eight great army groups, there will also be the Twelve Star Armies.”
Li Xiang threw out the idea in his mind, which made the generals dizzy.
The Four Symbols Army Groups and Four Supreme Army Groups were the eight great army groups.
Each army group had 200,000 soldiers, so eight of them were 1.6 million soldiers. If the 12 Star Army Groups were included, the 2.4 million troops would make a total of 4 million elites.
Of course, it was impossible to assign commanders to all the army groups now. Moreover, with the population of the Kingdom of Dawn of more than 600 million, four million troops were nothing. This was a chaotic world, so these were only the most basic guarantees.
Other than that, each city also had a basic level of guards, and their numbers were even larger.
After all, in the transcendent world, the strength of ordinary people could quickly form an army with little training.
Even though it was just a few army groups, it was enough to cause a fundamental change in the Military Pavilion.
If the 12 Star Army Groups were included, there would be 20 army groups and 20 Commanders. Once these army groups were fully established, the strength of the Kingdom of Dawn would expand to an astonishing level.
“Zhang Fei, listen up!”
Li Xiang looked at the Military Pavilion generals again and said slowly.
“I’m here!”
Zhang Fei took a step forward. His rough face showed traces of excitement, and his heart subconsciously beat faster.
“You had made great contributions when you just joined the Kingdom of Dawn. You have also made many military achievements. Your strength is second to none in the army. Today, you will be appointed as the commander of the Devil Destroyer Army Group. You will have 200,000 soldiers. You will allocate your troops and be given the Devil Slayer Commander’s Tally.”
“Thank you for the reward, King!” Zhang Fei replied respectfully. At the same time, he felt a sense of belonging to Dawn.
“Zhao Sheng!”
Li Xiang spoke again.
“I’m here!”
Zhao Sheng’s body trembled. He quickly took a step forward and stood in the middle of the Great Hall. He was surprised and excited.
Although he was a veteran in the army, he knew his limits. Whether it was his talent or cultivation, he was very ordinary compared to those famous generals.
Up until now, he had only just broken through to the mythical realm. His abilities were neither high nor low. To be able to reach this step, it was only because he had been following Li Xiang all this while.
Li Xiang kept the old in mind, so he could have a place in the army.
He knew this, so he never fought for anything in the army. Instead, he focused on his cultivation. At the same time, he tried his best to do everything he was responsible for to perfection. Li Xiang even handed over the trump card of the army, the Eight Trigrams Demon Array, to him.
He didn’t let Li Xiang down either. He was conscientious and diligent.
“Zhao Sheng, you’ve followed me from the beginning. You’ve cultivated diligently and trained the soldiers for the Dawn day by day. Today, you’ve been conferred the title of commander of the War Tiger Army Group. You’ll have 200,000 soldiers and the War Tiger Commander’s Tally.”
Naturally, he would not treat an old man like Zhao Sheng who followed him poorly. Moreover, he did not reward him casually. A position like an army group commander could not be obtained by favors. It concerned the life and death of countless people. How could he privately give and take?
Zhao Sheng had a strong desire to improve in the past few years. Not only was he extremely diligent in his cultivation, but he also frequently went to the Scripture Library to study the art of war, military arrays, and martial arts combat skills. Most importantly, he was upright and reliable.
It didn’t matter if one’s strength was slightly inferior. This could be learned, experienced, and slowly improved. However, it was very difficult to change one’s character and conduct.
As long as he kept himself motivated, Li Xiang believed that he could be a good commander in the future.
Hearing the reward for Zhao Sheng, many people’s expressions changed, but no one said anything.
Zhao Sheng’s experience and strength were not bad, and his prestige in the army was not low either. He had followed Li Xiang from the beginning. This was the credit given to him. The position of a commander was a form of encouragement for all ordinary soldiers.
“Xue Manshan, listen to order!”
“I’m here.”
Xue Manshan, dressed in white, bowed.
After coming here, he had witnessed the brutal battle against the Orc Alliance Army and observed the Divine Cities in the Kingdom of Dawn. He had a yearning for this place. After some consideration, he chose to join the Kingdom of Dawn.
“You had brought the troops to join the Dawn and have the ability to lead them. You will be in charge of your original deployment. Today, you will be appointed as the commander of the Xuetu Army Group which have 200,000 troops. You will receive the Xuetu Commander’s Tally and the first rank,” said Li Xiang without hesitation.
