The Divine Capital's city walls were about seventy feet thick. Through the city walls, Yi Yun could finally see the vast interior of the city.
The main street of the Divine Capital was big enough for ten near-horned beasts to walk side by side. On both sides, there were shops, inns, cultivation grounds and battlegrounds!
The shops here sold desolate bone relics, divine weapons and treasures!
All sorts of treasures were priceless!
Many of the inns specially for warriors to rest in had spirit gathering arrays that gathered Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. It was a good cultivation ground. The cost of a night's stay was enough for a commoner to live a few lifetimes.
As for the battlegrounds, there were many experts. Martial arts experts from all over the Divine Kingdom came to the battlegrounds to earn resources and rewards. Some came purely to hone their skills, hoping to break through in battle!
Along the way, Yi Yun felt that the Divine Capital had opened a brand new world for him. This shock was extraordinary!
The Divine Capital was too big. The city's area was vast and there were many houses. It was enough to accommodate a large number of troops.
The Jin Long Wei's encampment had barracks that stretched for more than twenty miles. With the other cultivation grounds, the area was even wider. But it was easily accommodated within the Divine Capital.
Before entering the Jin Long Wei camp, Yi Yun could see a gush of Essence Qi from afar. It shot up into the sky from the camp!
This essence energy was vast and mighty, covering the sky and covering the earth. Even the clouds in the sky were blown away by this aura.
That was a masculine and austere aura that made one's heart tremble! Even at such a distance, Yi Yun could feel a strong sense of oppression from this Essence Qi. It shocked him.
"Ha! Ha! "
From afar, Yi Yun could hear the shouts of the soldiers training. The shouts were earth-shattering, making one's eardrums numb.
There were also the sounds of joints cracking. The sounds of tendons humming gathered together. Even the birds and eagles in the sky did not dare to fly above the camp.
"How is it? This is the Jin Long Wei's Divine Capital camp! Let's go in! "
The group of people went through a strict interrogation at the gate and entered the camp. In the camp, there was a sentry every five steps, and a sentry every ten steps. The soldiers guarding the camp had an imposing manner that was not inferior to the soldiers guarding the gate of Tiandu City.
On the main road of the camp. Cart after cart of beast meat was brought in.
These beasts were all ferocious beast meat, and many of them were even bigger than elephants. If one was taken out for mortals to eat and made into cured meat, a family of three would not be able to finish it in ten years.
But in the Jin Long Wei camp, these people practiced martial arts. The consumption was huge, and they were proficient in the Elephant Swallowing Art. A ferocious beast the size of an elephant was nothing to them.
Yi Yun looked over. There were all sorts of food bags, beast meat and vegetables queues that stretched for five kilometers. What a spectacular sight!
The fighting power of an army. Just from the aspect of food, one could see a thing or two!
"Tell your sister and the servant to wait here now. They were not allowed to enter the barracks. The Divine Capital's Jin Long Wei commander was General Yan. Any Jin Long Wei elite warrior had to first meet General Yan. Other than the Cloud Wilderness, the other places in the Divine Kingdom have also chosen many recruits. When the time comes, there will be a recruit assembly in the Jin Long Wei camp. "
"Oh?"
Yi Yun's heart stirred. From the looks of it, only a small portion of the large number of warriors from the Kingdom's selection had reached the Divine Capital City. The other recruits had been scattered across the Divine Kingdom.
Indeed, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom had so many Jin Long Wei camps. Which camp did not need recruits?
"How many recruits are coming to the Divine Capital's Jin Long Wei camp?"
Yi Yun casually asked.
"About one to two thousand. Only one to two hundred of them are considered elites."
Only elites could meet Yan Menglong. In Zhang Tan's team, other than Yi Yun, there was also Hu Ya who had the qualifications.
Hu Ya was a man of few words. He did not speak much along the way. Together with Yi Yun, they followed Zhang Tan through rows of heavily guarded soldiers and arrived at the square in front of the camp.
At the entrance of the square stood General Yan's personal guards. They were like steel statues, standing there motionless.
Yi Yun and Hu Ya passed the verification and entered the square. There were already dozens of people waiting there.
These people, without exception, were all young men. Each of them exuded energy and their eyes were bright. They did not look like ordinary people!
These people were the young warriors who had passed the Kingdom's selection!
And looking at their clothes, a number of them were very luxurious. These clothes were not as simple as looking good. Some of the clothes were made of silk. They were impervious to water and fire, and could defend against ordinary swords and sabers.
There were also some people who were wearing expensive weapons. The value of these weapons far exceeded Yi Yun's Yanchi saber.
"These people … are not from the Cloud Wilderness!" Yi Yun suddenly understood. This Kingdom's selection was not limited to the Cloud Wilderness. There were many people from other parts of the Kingdom who had been selected.
They were young elites from all over the Kingdom!
Yi Yun saw these people surrounding a large animal hide drum. He did not know what they were doing.
Yi Yun, Zhang Tan and Hu Ya's arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Haha! Isn't that Thousand Households Zhang!? " Just as Zhang Tan brought Yi Yun and Hu Ya into the square, a muscular man walked towards them. This man was dressed in shiny golden armor. He took off his helmet and held it in his arms. He looked very imposing.
However, he had a pair of ears that were bigger than a normal person's, making him look a little comical.
Behind the big-eared brawny man, there were six youths dressed in extraordinary clothes.
"Thousand Households Liu!" Zhang Tan cupped his fists and chuckled, licking his lips.
Yi Yun felt that when Zhang Tan and the big-eared man looked at each other, sparks seemed to shoot out from their eyes.
In the army, everyone worked together on the battlefield, but in private, two different teams would compete with each other!
During normal training, maneuvers, and killing enemies on the battlefield, they had to muster all their strength to compete for superiority!
To a soldier, collective glory was their pride!
Hence, when the Jin Long Wei's Thousand Households met, they would always try to put on airs.
"Tsk! Thousand Households Zhang went to the Cloud Wilderness to recruit soldiers. This recruit must have been recruited from the Cloud Wilderness … "
The big-eared man pointed at Hu Ya. He had ignored Yi Yun. The main reason was that Yi Yun was wearing a flying fish robe and a Yanchi saber. He did not look like a youth from the vast wilderness.
As for Hu Ya, he had the wildness of a leopard, as if he came from the vast wilderness.
Hence, the big-eared man thought that Yi Yun was a scion who had followed Zhang Tan to the Jin Long Wei camp.
Zhang Tan did not say a word, but the big-eared man said, "A few days ago, I went to the Jing state's South County. I picked a lot of good seedlings from a few large family clans in the Jing state's South County!"
"Speaking of the large family clans in the Jing state's South County, they are full of heroes. I only hate the fact that there are not enough spots. It's such a pity that I couldn't pick a lot of good seedlings." As the big-eared man spoke, he gestured to the youths behind him with his eyes. Clearly, they were the soldiers chosen by the big-eared man. They looked extraordinary and had a restrained aura. It was obvious that they were young elites.
"These six kids have now become elite members of the Jin Long Wei! As long as they pass the recruit training and enter my Heaven Wolf camp, they will be my elite soldiers! "
According to the Jin Long Wei's unspoken rules, whoever chose the soldiers would be under their command.
This was similar to the imperial examinations. Whichever examiner accepted a candidate, that candidate would be their student.
Hence, all the Thousand Households were secretly competing with each other.
The chosen disciples would be their own soldiers in the future, so how could they not put in effort?
As for Zhang Tan, who went to the Cloud Wilderness, he suffered a great loss. The standard of the Cloud Wilderness geniuses was much lower.
As for the big-eared man, going to the Jing state's South County's large family clan was a lucrative job.
The big-eared man was also a veteran. He had secretly competed with Zhang Tan for many years. Now that he had turned the tables and made Zhang Tan lose face, he was naturally happy.
Especially since Zhang Tan had only chosen Hu Ya as an elite member. Without comparing quality, just comparing quantity, Zhang Tan was completely overshadowed.
Zhang Tan chuckled and stroked his chin, saying, "Liu Big Ear, you don't have to show off in front of me. The six of them are indeed not bad! But they might not be better than the two I chose! Quality is the key to soldiers, not quantity! "
Zhang Tan was confident that his judgment was not bad. Not to mention Yi Yun, even Hu Ya was extraordinary. Along the way, Zhang Tan had been observing Hu Ya. This kid had something to his liking.
"Two?"
Liu Big Ear was stunned. He originally thought that Zhang Tan had only chosen one, but he never expected him to choose two.
One was Hu Ya, then the other …
He looked in surprise at Yi Yun, who was beside Zhang Tan. This young master was also a recruit that Zhang Tan had brought out from the Cloud Wilderness?
How could it be … his clothes …
Liu Big Ear had long noticed that Yi Yun was wearing a flying fish robe. As a soldier of the Kingdom, Liu Big Ear was very sensitive to the clothes worn by warriors of different noble ranks. How could he not notice the flying fish robe?
Don't think that the six youths behind him were dressed in extraordinary clothes. Even the material of their clothes was worth more than the flying fish robe. However, it was useless!
The dignity of the clothes came from the meaning that the clothes represented.
Wealthy merchants could also wear expensive clothes, but the degree of respect they received was much lower.
"He is wearing a flying fish robe and has been conferred the title of Kingdom Knight! A recruit you brought out from the Cloud Wilderness has been conferred the title of Kingdom Knight? "
Liu Big Ear was stunned. He did not believe that Yi Yun was a noble. Why would a Kingdom Knight go to the Cloud Wilderness?
The only possibility was that Zhang Tan had chosen Yi Yun and had requested the upper echelons of the Jin Long Wei to confer him the title of Kingdom Knight!
He, Liu Big Ear, was only a Kingdom Knight. Now, he was on equal footing with the kid beside Zhang Tan!
How could Liu Big Ear feel comfortable?
I had chosen six recruits, and all of them were like dragons. I did not even report to the headquarters to confer them a title. Yet, you chose soldiers in a godforsaken place like the Cloud Wilderness and you were conferred the title of Kingdom Knight!
