Chapter 915: Chapter 45: Martial Artists of the World Follow
The leaflet mainly talked about a few things:
First, Marquis Jing’an led the Savage Killing Army deep into the Wilderness to fight, achieving great merits!
Second, Your Majesty has issued a decree to officially establish the Savage Killing Army, led by Li Fei, with a quota of ten thousand members. Martial Artists from various Blue Patrol Pavilions can sign up for the army.
Third, as long as one is a Martial Artist and wants to join the Savage Killing Army, they can go to Green-faced Manor to be recommended by it.
The end of the leaflet detailed the benefits of joining the Savage Killing Army.
Because the entire army comprises Martial Artists, the Savage Killing Army will not only cover the Elixir needed for daily training but also offer generous resources required for cultivation in their military pay!
Lu Kai was greatly intrigued after reading.
The resources offered by the Savage Killing Army were several times more than those of the Blood Alliance Gang!
“Savage Killing Army, follow Marquis Jing’an…”
Lu Kai’s eyes shone brightly. Read full story at n0velfire.net
In the next few days, through various inquiries, he learned more information:
Initially, more than three thousand Martial Artists from different Blue Patrol Pavilions joined the Savage Killing Army, but they were ostracized by the Northern Border Army, and the Elixirs needed for daily training were withheld.
Afterward, Marquis Jing’an, Li Fei, even led people to storm the Military Department, eventually retrieving the Elixirs and securing even more resources!
Later, the Savage Killing Army went deep into the Northern Barbarians for battle. In times of danger, Li Fei voluntarily stayed behind to cover their retreat, allowing the Blue Patrol Pavilion Martial Artists to withdraw first.
Ultimately, most of these Blue Patrol Pavilion Martial Artists returned alive.
Just these two matters alone made Lu Kai deeply moved!
Moreover, he also heard about Li Fei’s battle achievements this time:
He killed five Martial Arts Masters of the Northern Barbarians!
Teamed up with others to kill two Top-level True Masters, playing an important role in the battle.
Led the Imperial Camp Army to severely wound the Northern Barbarian King!
These achievements ignited Lu Kai’s blood, feeling that a true man should be .
Who wouldn’t want to follow such a capable, talented, promising, and protective Commander who charges at the front and stays at the rear?
Hong Guang Year 48, September 17.
Lu Kai received a recommendation from Green-faced Manor and boarded a train to the Northern Territory.
Similar situations occurred in the twenty-three Provinces of the Da Lan Dynasty!
The formation of the Blue Patrol Pavilion greatly united the Jianghu Influence of the Da Lan Dynasty.
The series of ‘Contribution Points’ policies formulated by Grand Secretary Ye Ze’an was to absorb Jianghu Influence into the military, thereby enhancing the national power of the Da Lan Dynasty.
But for many Martial Artists, the battlefield was too dangerous, and they were unsure if they’d be treated as cannon fodder when they went.
So initially, only over three thousand Blue Patrol Pavilion Martial Artists joined the army.
But now, with the impressive battle achievements of the Savage Killing Army and Li Fei’s actions on the battlefield, coupled with Li Fei’s reputation.
This is practically the perfect ‘recruitment advertisement’!
Therefore, Li Fei didn’t need to exert effort in promotion, as the court had already publicized it in twenty-three Provinces.
Starting from August 1, as the Savage Killing Army was formally formed, Martial Artists from various regions began heading to the Northern Territory.
These Martial Artists mostly belonged to various Jianghu Influences.
Many leaders were actually reluctant to let their subordinates go, like Lu Kai, a gold medal fighter. Once they left, it would significantly impact the strength of the Blood Alliance Gang.
But the conditions offered by the Savage Killing Army were too favorable!
Unless the local leaders also ‘raised salaries’ and offered better conditions than the Savage Killing Army, it was difficult to retain people.
After all, the Savage Killing Army had a ‘structure’ and was a regular army, which many local influences couldn’t compete with.
In this situation, forcibly retaining subordinates could easily lead to problems.
Conversely, if the influences proactively recommended Martial Artists enlisting, they could earn Contribution Points to enhance their rights and voice within the Blue Patrol Pavilion, which was a win-win.
So in the end, most Jianghu Influences willingly let people go.
In just over two months, the number of Martial Artists applying to join the Savage Killing Army exceeded three thousand!
It can be said that Martial Artists across the land flocked in!
At this rate, Li Fei’s Savage Killing Army had no difficulty in recruiting ten thousand members, and even had room for selection.
Northern Territory, Shaman City.
After Feng Cheng finished reading the Imperial Decree that day, Li Fei continued to stay in Shaman City for more than two months.
The formal establishment of the Savage Killing Army involved countless tasks, and Li Fei, as its Commander, barely had any leisure.
He had to immediately transfer Lv Wenxing from Lanling City to help handle various military affairs.
Lv Wenxing was previously a Sitting Official of Zhi Ge Pavilion, which was responsible for managing all Martial Artists and the most connected to the military, so he was quite familiar with the affairs of the Savage Killing Army.
He brought seven assistants and spent over two months initially helping Li Fei handle the array of affairs of the Savage Killing Army, setting it on the right track.
Being a competent Commander of the Army is more than just fighting and killing.
Daily training, reward and punishment systems, resource allocation, personnel promotion, tactical development and practice, maintaining morale and military spirit… all these need the Commander, Li Fei, to make decisions.
For this, Li Fei spent over two months studying, finally concluding—
He was neither a General Talent nor a General Talent.
With his skills, managing a few hundred people was already the limit.
Managing several thousand or even tens of thousands was completely beyond his capability!
This was a problem that even the Myriad Blood Pearl couldn’t solve.
Daily management was already so difficult, and commanding ten thousand orderly into battle on the field would be even more arduous!
“Han Xin counts troops, the more the better.”
After becoming a Commander, Li Fei truly experienced the value of this statement.
