"How can the common people have the ability to fight?"
In the end, Ji Ning still loved the common people and was unwilling to let them participate in the war.
However, Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "The common people of the Divine Phoenix Empire are also martial artists. As the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! Now, we don't need them to go to the front lines to kill the enemy. As long as they are logistics soldiers and are responsible for transporting supplies, that will solve the big problem.
Moreover, when the nest is overturned, no egg will remain intact. They should understand this principle. Once the city is breached, their only ending is death. There is no second way to survive, and it is impossible for them to escape.
Wherever the army of the Black Crow Empire passes, there will be no survivors. "
"Alright, I will do my best to arrange it. It's a pity that Sikong Zun is not on good terms with me. Otherwise, the eighty thousand people he brought would be of great use."
Ji Ning sighed.
"Hmph, if the Sikong Zun is not willing, then just cripple him. I am the Military Governor, so I still have this bit of power. However, we have to choose a good time, otherwise, it will easily arouse the disgust of the expeditionary army."
Ling Xiao coldly snorted.
Hearing this, Ji Ning was surprised.
Ling Xiao's thoughts were actually so meticulous that he even considered this point. He was even better than his master, Ji Fuling.
"Alright, when the time comes, I will listen to your arrangements!"
If they wanted to cripple the Sikong Zun, Ji Ning and Feng Qingyan had to take action. Otherwise, there really was no one else here who could control the Sikong Zun.
The two of them walked around the city walls. Everywhere was arranged in an orderly manner. Although the camp was full of injured soldiers, Ji Ning's title of Great General was not for nothing. He was still able to maintain the fighting strength of Northern Desert City as much as possible under such circumstances.
"Great General, why don't I see Qin Huo and the rest?"
Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"It's easy to see them. I can just get someone to call them over."
Ji Ning smiled and then ordered, "Go, call Qin Huo, Meng Tong, and Xin over. Tell them that their great benefactor has arrived."
"Understood!"
Not long after the soldiers left, Qin Huo's group of three arrived at the City Governor's Mansion.
The City Lord Mansion of the Northern Desert City was where Ji Ning lived and where he gave orders.
"Your subordinate is Qin Huo!"
"Subordinate Meng Tong!"
"This subordinate believes it!"
"Greetings, Great General! Greetings, Young Master!"
The three of them simultaneously knelt on one knee and cupped their fists.
"Hahaha, get up, Ling Xiao. You guys stay here and reminisce. I'll go and arrange for the commoners to participate in the defense of the city."
Ji Ning stood up and said with a smile.
"Take care, General!"
Ling Xiao stopped Ji Ning and took out a storage ring. "Here are twenty thousand Rejuvenation Pills and twenty thousand Spirit Recovery Pills. They are good for healing. Although there aren't many of them, they can solve urgent problems. The former can heal injuries, while the latter can restore physical strength and internal force."
"Absolutely not!"
Although Ji Ning really wanted it, he was a little embarrassed.
"Take it, Great General. You can count it as my military merit, right?"
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Alright, since you said so, I'll accept it. This is a timely rain. I thank you on behalf of all the soldiers."
Ji Ning took the storage ring and left excitedly.
What his soldiers needed the most now was these pills. Ling Xiao's arrival was like a timely rain, allowing him to see the hope of victory.
"Farewell, General!"
Looking at Ji Ning's departure, Ling Xiao smiled and looked at Qin Huo's group of three. "How is it? Are you used to this place? Is there any situation where you can't acclimatize? "
"Don't worry, Young Master. We are used to everything. Not only that, Great General Ji Ning trusts us a lot."
Qin Huo sighed. "This time, when the Black Crow Empire attacked Northern Desert City, our Iron Mask Army made a great contribution. Hence, the Great General took the opportunity to confer me as the Commander of the Heavenly Wolf Knight Regiment. Meng Tong and Xin are my deputies. As for the 300 Iron Guards, they are basically all Chiliarchs, Centurions, Guard Captains, and Corporals."
In the army, the positions were Corporals, Guard Captains, Centurions, Chiliarchs, Vice Commanders, and Commanders. Corporals had ten soldiers under them.
Guard Captains led ten Corporals and their subordinates.
Centurions led ten Guard Captains and their subordinates. However, the number of people would not exceed 1,000.
Chiliarchs led ten Centurions and their subordinates. However, the number of people would not exceed 10,000.
Vice Commanders were also called Captains. They had ten Chiliarchs and their subordinates.
Commanders were the ranks second only to the Commander. Under normal circumstances, they would have at least three Vice Commanders. There might even be ten or more.
Currently, Qin Huo was the Commander of the Heavenly Wolf Knight Regiment. He was equivalent to a Commander.
Meng Tong and Xin were both Vice Commanders. They were subordinate to Qin Huo.
However, due to the lack of soldiers, Qin Huo only had 10,000 or so subordinates. According to the official ranks, it was not enough. They were only equivalent to Captains.
"Aiyo, you're doing pretty well. I'm only a Centurion. No one died, right?"
Ling Xiao asked.
Although casualties were normal on the battlefield, Ling Xiao really did not wish for anyone in the Iron Mask Army to die in battle.
This kind of wish might be too extravagant, but it was his true wish.
"No one died in battle. However, injuries are unavoidable. Fortunately, our men have fought on the battlefield before. In terms of experience, they are not inferior to the Great General's troops."
Qin Huo replied.
"That's good. I want you to train and live well."
Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
The four of them chatted for a long time.
Through them, Ling Xiao learned about many of the rules in the military camp. In addition to the simple ranks in the army, there were also methods to obtain these positions.
To put it bluntly, there were two points. One was strength, and the other was military merits.
Without strength, military merits would be useless because the people below would not be convinced. This was a world where cultivators were supreme. Strength was very important.
Of course, strength alone was troublesome without military merits. The Sikong Zun was a good example.
He had strength but no military merits. The soldiers below him were not convinced. If not for the Emperor's imperial edict, no one would give a damn about the Sikong Zun.
As mentioned before, in the Divine Phoenix Continent, as long as it was a regular army, the weakest soldier was a Transcendent Realm cultivator.
If one wanted to become a captain, one had to be an outstanding figure among the soldiers. At the very least, one had to be a Transcendent Realm Ninth Level cultivator.
Guard Captains had to be half-step Heavenly Venerable or above.
Centurions had to be at least Heaven Realm cultivators in One-Line Heaven.
Chiliarchs had to be at least Heaven Realm or Heaven of Five Elements.
The Ten Thousand Men Commander, which was also the Deputy Commander, required a minimum of Seven Stars Heaven cultivation.
As for commanders, they had to be at least Ten Directions Heaven. Of course, Grotto-Heaven Realm was the best.
Currently, Meng Tong had reached Eight Desolate Heaven Early Stage and was definitely qualified to be a vice commander.
Xin's cultivation was slightly weaker, but he was also at Seven Stars Heaven Early Stage. He was just qualified.
Qin Huo was even more powerful. He was the number one Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. He was more than qualified to be a commander.
In addition, the three of them had accumulated enough military merits in the previous battle. Even if Ji Ning was not biased, they were definitely qualified to hold their current positions.
