On the training grounds of the City Lord's Mansion, 30,000 soldiers of the Freedom Legion were already standing there. They were all wearing bright armor and looked mighty and extraordinary.
The armor was also divided into three types and three colors: black armor, silver armor, and gold armor.
The three types of armor were also divided into three camps. Obviously, the black armor was the most common camp, followed by the silver armor, and then the gold armor.
It was obvious that the division of the three colors of armor was definitely based on realm.
The black armor was definitely a second-step Heavenly Venerate, the silver armor was a third-step Heavenly Venerate, and the gold armor was the highest, a fourth-step Heavenly Venerate. Therefore, there were only 10 gold armors. They stood at the front of the legion and led the entire Freedom Legion.
Behind the 10 fourth-step Heavenly Venerates were 3,000 silver armors. Behind them were nearly 2,700 black armor troops.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao also had a basic understanding of the Freedom Legion's strength.
10 fourth-step Heavenly Venerates, 3,000 third-step Heavenly Venerates, and the rest were all second-step Heavenly Venerates. The total strength of the legion was 30,000.
Speaking of which, it was indeed considered a very powerful force. If they were in the Southern Wilderness, they could do whatever they wanted. As long as they didn't provoke the existence of an Ancient Sage, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Looking at this majestic Freedom Legion, Qin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little heroic.
Plop!
Everyone in the Freedom Legion suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Qin Xiao and bowed their heads.
At the same time, they swore on the Heavenly Dao, "I swear to be loyal to the City Lord. I swear to protect the Freedom Legion and the people of the Freedom Legion. I will obey the City Lord's orders. I will climb a mountain of swords and plunge into a sea of fire. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning and my soul will scatter.
I will be buried here. "
"The Heavenly Dao Oath, rise!"
Everyone swore at the same time and triggered the Heavenly Dao Law.
After the oath was completed, the Heavenly Dao sent down a heavenly decree into Qin Xiao's soul, representing the completion of the Heavenly Dao Oath.
If anyone in the Freedom Legion violated the oath, Qin Xiao could make their souls scatter with a thought and suffer the wrath of the heavens.
Only after completing the Heavenly Dao Oath did it mean that Qin Xiao had complete control over the Freedom Corps. With the army in his hands, he had become the true City Lord of Freedom City. In the future, he could command the entire Freedom City and wield great power.
In fact, Qin Xiao was not interested in power.
In terms of authority, he was the Universe Source Master of the Primordial Universe. Everything in the Primordial Universe was under his control. That was the supreme authority.
Therefore, Qin Xiao had long been indifferent to power.
Being a free city lord, he felt a little helpless.
After dealing with this matter, Qin Xiao followed the Elf Patriarch back to the Elf Tribe. The other fourth-step Heavenly Venerables had been waiting for them.
"Here's the thing, City Lord. As the representatives of all the races, we have something to discuss with you and hope that you can give us some advice."
"Previously, our Free City could be said to be like loose sand. There was no cohesion at all. Everyone was dispirited and focused on their own business."
"Such a Free City has already lost the charm that a Free City should have."
"Now that you are leading the City Lord, I believe that this situation will be completely changed. Therefore, I would like to invite the City Lord to come over and discuss it together," said the Elf Patriarch.
There were 42 fourth-step Heavenly Venerables here. Although they only represented 40 clans, their words still carried a lot of weight.
They were the mainstay of Freedom City and were also the group that was most worried about the current situation of Freedom City.
Therefore, the Elf Patriarch could not wait to invite Qin Xiao over and ask everyone to stay behind to discuss the future of Freedom City.
It could also be said that it had indeed reached a point where there was no room for delay.
Qin Xiao nodded solemnly and said, "I have the same intention. Since everyone trusts me, I will definitely do my best and do my best."
"However, I, Qin Xiao, have not lived for long after all. I'm afraid that my abilities are limited. Please forgive me if I don't do well. "
"At the same time, I hope that all of you seniors can help us manage Freedom City well. I only have the courage to do so with you seniors here. "
"I believe that no matter what, as long as we are of one mind and work together to discuss it, there is no problem that cannot be solved."
The Elf Patriarch nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, City Lord. As long as we can gather together like today and work together to solve the problem, there is indeed no problem that cannot be solved. "
"However, due to many reasons in the past, there was no way for us to gather together like today. That is why Freedom City is like scattered sand without cohesion."
"Now that the City Lord is here, under the leadership of the City Lord, we can all gather together and work together. This is the most important thing."
Qin Xiao was slightly startled. After thinking about it, he also smiled.
That's right. It wasn't that Qin Xiao's ability was really that strong. Instead, it was because Qin Xiao had saved Freedom City and the lives of all the Myriad Races. Therefore, Qin Xiao's status in everyone's hearts was very high and his prestige was very high.
With these things, he could gather the power of all the races.
As long as he could gather the power of all the races, there was indeed nothing that could not be solved.
Freedom City would also be restored to its previous state.
Why was Freedom City so beautiful under the governance of the first City Lord? It was because the first City Lord had absolute cohesion. Everyone respected him, believed in him, worshipped him, and respected him.
Therefore, he was able to govern Freedom City well.
As long as he said a word, everyone would do as he said. There was no need for him to do anything at all.
There were some things that could not be completely measured by strength.
After the first City Lord, there were hundreds of other City Lords. There was no lack of powerful City Lords, but they were all useless.
What was the use of strength alone? Without the support of the people, without the collective support of all the races, without absolute prestige, it was naturally difficult to govern well.
Qin Xiao had experienced this personally. In terms of governance, Qin Xiao had governed a huge universe. Therefore, he had a lot of experience.
What did cohesion rely on?
It was prestige, it was faith, it was not strength.
Fists could make people submit, but it was more likely that they were not willing to submit.
"City Lord, we had a discussion just now. There is something we want to discuss with you. We feel that Freedom City's defensive power is still a little weak. The Freedom Corps seems to be a little weak. Therefore, we are all thinking, is it possible?
Is it possible to expand the Freedom Corps? "
"For example, if more people from our 3,000 primitive clans join the Freedom Corps, or if all the other races are pulled in, the Freedom Corps will also expand several times."
"If there is a war and the Freedom Corps is strong enough, it will be a solid force that can protect our Freedom City very well. It will not be like this time, where it is a plate of loose sand that is difficult to unite. "
"The Freedom Corps exists to protect Freedom City. They have a sacred mission and are a guardian army that is not afraid of death."
The Elf Patriarch opened his mouth and said his suggestion. This was the suggestion that many of the Elf Patriarchs had discussed.
It was also a method that had been summarized from the lessons of this incident.
In a way, expanding the Freedom Corps could indeed strengthen Freedom City's defensive power.
Qin Xiao thought about this suggestion seriously and said, "How should I put it this time? It was more of an accident."
"Firstly, it was the scheme of the person behind the scenes. Secondly, Freedom City happened to have no City Lord overseeing it. Without a leader, there was naturally no cohesion. "
"However, we can't say that this kind of situation will not happen in the future. Therefore, your suggestion is also reasonable."
"It's just that I feel that since the first City Lord established Freedom City, the Freedom Corps has a scale of 30,000 people. If we want to expand it now, there are many problems to consider."
"Firstly, the management and nurturing of the Freedom Corps will require a large number of chaos source stones."
"Secondly, will the other clans be willing to do this? Some clans have a large number of clans, so there is no pressure, but what about some clans with a small number of clans? It will not be easy for them to send out ten second-step Celestial Venerables. "
"Yes."
"Thirdly, your 3,000 primitive clans have contributed to Freedom City for countless years. It is already quite a lot for a clan to send out ten people to enter the Freedom Corps. How can you increase your contribution?"
"Fourthly, Freedom City is a free city. Even the City Lord's Mansion doesn't have any source of income. We can't say that in order to expand the Freedom Corps, we have to set up exorbitant taxes or something, right? It's also impossible to collect entrance fees or something like that, right?
？”
"Also, the original building of the City Lord's Mansion should only be enough for the 30,000 Freedom Corps to live in and cultivate. If we expand it further, what should we do with the others? We can't expand the City Lord's Mansion, right? "
"Therefore, this move is a bit like pulling a hair and affecting the whole body."
"I think that for the time being, this suggestion should be put aside for now. For the time being, there is not much need. If we really feel that there is a need and conditions in the future, it won't be too late to discuss this matter. What do you all think? "
After listening to Qin Xiao's analysis, everyone nodded. What he said was very reasonable.
It was indeed so. If they wanted to expand the Freedom Corps, it would involve many problems. It was not easy to expand it.
The main thing was that it depended on whether there was a need.
For the time being, it did not seem to be necessary.
Qin Xiao continued, "Freedom City was in a state of disunity before. In fact, there were many factors in it. I have also analyzed it."
"Therefore, I think that what we should do now is to tidy up Freedom City."
"Freedom City is indeed a little chaotic, so we have to pull it out. Anyway, let Freedom City return to the right track and return to the previous operating mode."
"The previous mode could operate for endless years. Tens of thousands of universe epochs is enough to prove that the previous mode was very successful, right? "
The Elf Patriarch and the Giant Strength Patriarch nodded. They had all come from that era and had lived for more than 10,000 universe epochs. They had deep feelings about many things.
"Therefore, I think that the first thing we should do now is to pull it out," Qin Xiao said again.
The Elf Patriarch nodded and said, "Yes, what the City Lord said is very reasonable."
"Uprooting the chaos is indeed the most urgent thing that needs to be done."
"However, this kind of thing cannot be done overnight. After all, in the recent universe epoch, Freedom City has indeed changed a lot. "
