Capítulo 827: Chapter 17: Army Formed! Unstoppable Lineup (6000+) (3)
“The Marquis has returned!”
Someone shouted loudly.
The crowd erupted in excitement.
Amid the expectant eyes of the people, Li Fei, donned in a golden robe, stepped out of the vehicle and made his way to the training ground’s platform.
The military officers in the ranks shouted loudly.
More than three thousand quickly assembled on the training ground.
Standing on the platform, Li Fei gazed at the people below. He could distinctly feel that the momentum of this troop was entirely different from a few days ago!
“A few days ago, I told you that from now on, you are my soldiers!”
Li Fei’s voice echoed throughout the training ground:
“I can’t promise you much, just this: I will never treat my soldiers unfairly!”
On the training ground, everyone had shining eyes.
Li Fei’s voice continued:
“Today, I have brought back what you deserve, and I have also brought rewards!”
The breathing below began to grow heavy.
Li Fei turned his head to the side, where Miao Yangxia and Su Jia, the Refining Strength Martial Masters who followed him to the Northern Territory, quickly approached the platform.
Each of them carried a roster.
Once on stage, they saluted Li Fei.
Li Fei nodded at them.
So the two stood beside Li Fei, one on each side, and opened the rosters in their hands.
First, Miao Yangxia called out loudly:
“Wu Ran, Yang Lei, Yu Qianfeng…”
“All those whose names have been called are granted a Second Level Abnormal Weapon and ten bottles of any Cultivation Elixir!”
The crowd erupted in excitement.
The people whose names Miao Yangxia called had been with them today, drawing blades against the Military Supply Headquarters guards.
During today’s conflict, Li Fei had arranged for many to quietly document the performance of the group.
Those who decisively chose to side with him now received their reward!
Most of them were only Body Breaking Stage Martial Artists, and in the World, even Qi Change Stage martial masters might not own an Abnormal Weapon in their lifetime.
Next, Su Jia opened the roster and called out names.
He read few names, all leaders, and a dozen military officers from today:
“…..All those whose names have been called are granted a Second Level Abnormal Weapon, a Second Level Protective Clothing, and ten bottles of any Cultivation Elixir!”
When they finished reading from the rosters, the rewarded martial artists below exclaimed excitedly:
“Thank you, Marquis, for the rewards!!”
Li Fei nodded, raised a hand, and the training ground fell silent again.
“I am a person who rewards and punishes clearly. Where there are rewards, there are penalties.”
After speaking, he glanced at Miao Yangxia beside him.
Miao Yangxia immediately took out a second roster from his arms and read out 168 names in one breath.
The names belonged to military officers transferred from the Border Army.
“Those whose names were called, step forward!”
168 military officers nervously stepped out from the ranks.
Li Fei looked at them coldly:
“I even have access to the secret intelligence of the Military Supply Headquarters, do you think I wouldn’t know what you did in the camp a couple of days ago?”
The words struck, and the faces of the 168 military officers turned pale.
These individuals had been secretly spreading unfavorable rumors about Li Fei in the camp, creating the impression that Li Fei would eventually be ousted, while repeatedly emphasizing to the Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists:
In the Northern Territory, they could only rely on the Military Department; outsiders were unreliable.
It was clear they had been tasked with a mission.
Possibly dispatched by Luo Xu, or an effort from the Green Frost Army, or perhaps other prominent figures in the Northern Territory.
After all, for Li Fei to establish himself in the Northern Territory, it would inevitably threaten others’ interests, offending people was unavoidable.
“Considering you were following orders, I won’t make things difficult for you… Return from whence you came.”
The over-a-hundred military officers breathed a sigh of relief, quickly saluted Li Fei, and turned to leave.
More than half of the over three hundred transferred military officers departed in an instant.
This would undoubtedly affect the overall strength of this troop.
However, Li Fei thought it was worthwhile.
He wanted soldiers devoted to following him into battle, not those with ulterior motives.
Once the hundred-plus military officers had left, Li Fei finally said:
“In the future, I will go to the battlefield with you all. I cannot promise you will all survive, but I can promise this: on the battlefield, I’ll be the one charging first and retreating last!”
Finishing his words, he turned sharply and walked off the high platform.
“Sworn to follow the Marquis to the death!”
Below, someone suddenly shouted.
Soon, more than three thousand voices shouted in unison:
“Sworn to follow the Marquis to the death!”
On the training ground, a surge of energy rose to the sky.
In the days that followed, everything returned to the original order.
The more than three thousand martial artists from Blue Patrol Pavilion continued their regular training.
With over a hundred military officers gone, Li Fei promoted more than a hundred martial artists to officers. Read full story at novel⟡fire.net
All of these individuals genuinely wished to follow him, thus his control over this troop was truly established.
More than half a month after Li Fei arrived in the Northern Territory, another group of Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists arrived at Shaman City.
This group was only over two hundred strong, but their cultivation was high, with the lowest being Qi Change Early Stage martial masters, and the highest reaching Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artists and Possession Stage Mages!
All these individuals were recommended by Qing Province’s Blue Patrol Pavilion, led by the Great Mage from Nightmare Sect.
Back then, Shen Zhen promised Li Fei that the sect would send a batch of true elites to the Northern Territory, and also encourage all forces allied with Nightmare Sect to send elites as well.
