On the other hand, Qinyue was ecstatic as she said, "This is a good thing. Then we will definitely be in the same squad."
In reality, they were very worried about whether they would be in the same squad. This was because the 2nd lieutenant was the one who picked the soldiers. If the 2nd lieutenant only picked one out of the 4 of them, the rest of them wouldn't be accepted even if they begged for mercy. Moreover, if you weren't willing to go over, then you would immediately offend the 2nd lieutenant. Moreover, if you were picked by the 2nd lieutenant, you would definitely have to go over.
In the Expeditionary Army, any officer would have a lot of authority over his subordinates. Even a 2nd lieutenant was the same.
Looking at the 200 over soldiers, Zhan Tao was clearly not satisfied. He shook his head. The quality of the soldiers in the Expeditionary Army was getting lower and lower. In the past, when there were conscriptions, there were at least five to six hundred people with orange badges, if not thousands. But this time, there were only 200 people, which was really too little.
After the 200 over people lined up, Zhan Tao said, "From now on, all of you are 2nd lieutenants. Your first officer badge will be awarded by me. All the 2nd lieutenants who are awarded an officer badge must receive it with a military salute. Now, all the 2nd lieutenants please stand in a row. When I call your name, come forward to receive your officer badge. "
After Zhan Tao finished, he gave a military salute. His legs were together, his right hand was flat and his palm was facing outwards. This made Lan Xiaobu heave a sigh of relief. He really didn't know what the Zhen Nuo Planet's military salute was like.
Lan Xiaobu quickly received his officer badge. It was a diamond shaped orange badge with an orange star on it. Then there was his name and military rank. "Lan Xiaobu, 2nd lieutenant of the Expeditionary Army."
Lan Xiaobu looked at Zhan Tao's officer badge. It had 2 stars, was yellow and wrote 'Lieutenant'. From the looks of it, this Zhan Tao in front of him was only one grade higher than him.
After all the 2nd lieutenants received their officer badges, Zhan Tao continued, "The officer badge represents your identity. I hope that in the future, all of you will be able to increase the stars on your badge and become a true general or even commander of our Zhen Nuo Planet. Every second lieutenant can have five to ten subordinates. Your subordinates will be right behind you. Now, you can go and choose your subordinates. "
"Yes." More than two hundred people dispersed in an uproar and immediately began to select their own soldiers. For these second lieutenant captains who had just been promoted to the Star Conquering Army, the better the soldiers, the more powerful they would be.
Before Lan Xiaobu came back, a sturdy Second Lieutenant came to Qinyue and pointed at her. "You, follow me. You'll be a member of my team from now on."
Obviously, he had already taken a fancy to Qinyue, so he immediately came to Qinyue to select people.
"Ah …" Qin Yue's expression changed. Even Ah Xu's expression changed.
The soldiers selected by the second lieutenant had to obey him unconditionally. Otherwise, they could be executed on the spot, unless the second lieutenant changed his mind. Moreover, this Second Lieutenant's eyes were filled with lust. He definitely didn't choose Qin Yue because he wanted such a soldier, but because he wanted such a woman.
"She won't go with you. She is already a soldier under my command." An abrupt voice interrupted the Second Lieutenant's words. "Qinyue, Ah Xu, Ke Er, stand behind me. In the future, we will be the universe's peacekeeping force. Of course, we will start from the peacekeeping team. "
When the second lieutenant selected his soldiers, the selected soldiers were not allowed to resist, nor were they allowed to say no. But if two second lieutenants want the same soldier, then everyone's status would be equal.
"Xiao Bu, are you using the troops from Planet Lanya again?" Ke Er was overjoyed. He was the first to rush to Lan Xiaobu's side.
Qinyue and Ah Xu reacted and hurriedly came to Lan Xiaobu's side.
"What do you mean?" The robust second lieutenant's face was flushed red with anger, and his eyes were filled with extreme anger.
He was the first to recruit, and Lan Xiaobu was snatching people from behind. If Lan Xiaobu succeeded, then what dignity would he have left as a Second Lieutenant?
Lan Xiaobu smiled. "That's what you saw. Don't tell me you want to become a soldier under my command? It's just that you look simple minded and ugly. I don't want to accept you. "
"Courting death …" The sturdy Second Lieutenant took a step forward. His sandbag-like fists were already clenched.
"Brother Leonard, you can't make a move now. Let's pick the soldier first." A short man, who was also a Second Lieutenant, pulled back the fellow who wanted to make a move.
Leonard came to his senses. He coldly glanced at Lan Xiaobu. "Little fella, even if you want to snatch it, you still have to have the fortune to enjoy it. Don't forget, my name is Leonard. I will come find you."
Ke Er laughed. "Do you think I'm afraid of you? If you have the guts, then come."
Ke Er had been in the army for many years. He knew better than anyone that being timid and afraid of trouble would only lead to a faster death. In the army, only those with bigger fists and less afraid of trouble would have a higher chance of survival.
"I hope that when the time comes, you can still say that you're not afraid." Leonard glanced at Ke Er.
Lan Xiaobu still smiled and said, "Don't. I'm afraid."
Everyone was startled. Lan Xiaobu then said, "I'm afraid that you won't come."
"Haha …." The crowd laughed. Everyone knew that when everyone settled down, one of Lan Xiaobu and Leonard would die.
"Xiao Bu …. No, Second Lieutenant, you still have to recruit seven more people. When that bastard comes, we won't be afraid of him." Ke Er saw Leonard leave and quickly suggested.
"Yes, let's recruit seven more people. I'm an Archer, so it would be best if we could recruit two more Archers to coordinate with me, and then …. "
Ah Xu was still talking about her suggestion when Qin Yue interrupted her words. "Ah Xu, let the Second Lieutenant make his own decision. No matter what the Second Lieutenant does, we will fully support him."
Qin Yue was born in a royal family, so she was very clear about the struggle for power. If it was not planned, then the one thing that those in power hated the most was their subordinates telling them what to do. Lan Xiaobu was a Second Lieutenant, but he was also an official.
With that, Qin Yue took the initiative to bow to Lan Xiaobu. "Many thanks to Second Lieutenant for the rescue."
If not for Lan Xiaobu directly snatching people from Leonard's hands, she would have become a tool for Leonard to vent his lust. If she was recruited into Leonard's team, then even if she had the ability, she would not have the opportunity to come out.
Lan Xiaobu nodded and walked into the crowd. However, he soon discovered that whenever he wanted to recruit a soldier, the soldier would quickly lower his head.
Lan Xiaobu naturally understood what was going on. They obviously did not want to become his soldiers. He had just arrived here, and other than having a grudge with Leonard, he did not show much of a bad appearance. It could be seen that these people did not want to become his soldiers. It should be because of Leonard's deterrence. He reckoned that this Leonard was not simple.
Even so, Lan Xiaobu still walked in front of the two soldiers. But before he could speak, he saw the fear in the eyes of the two soldiers.
Lan Xiaobu sighed. Do unto others what you do not want done unto you. These two people obviously did not want to become his soldiers, but they had no way to refuse him.
Thinking of this, he simply did not bother to continue recruiting people and returned to his team. So be it if there were four people. He did not really come here to become part of the Star Conquering Army.
"Second Lieutenant Lan, may I join your team?" A slightly timid voice sounded. Lan Xiaobu saw an extremely thin and weak youth walking over.
However, Lan Xiaobu was very clear that anyone who could stand in this hall, even if they were thin and weak, would not be simple. At the very least, the strength of one punch would exceed 200 kilograms.
"What's your name? Why do you want to join my team? "Lan Xiaobu looked at this thin and weak youth in front of him in astonishment. Others would not even be able to hide, so what was this fella trying to do?
"My name is Ding He, and I'm from the Grade 1 civilised planet, North Star Planet. My companion and I came to Zhen Nuo Planet a month ago. Just as we arrived, we met that Leonard. Leonard took my companion away, and after that, I never saw her again … "Ding He's voice sounded very calm, but Lan Xiaobu could feel the hatred in his voice.
Without guessing, Lan Xiaobu could guess that Ding He's companion should be a beautiful woman. From the looks of it, this bastard Leonard was a repeat offender.
Ke Er hurriedly said, "I know about North Star Planet. Just like our Lanya Planet, it was attacked by Flying Pure Star. It should be enslaved by now."
"Yes." Ding He lowered his head, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Lan Xiaobu looked at Ke Er speechlessly. In his heart, he thought: If I didn't know your character, I would really suspect that you came from Lanya Planet.
Look at Ding He, after her mother planet was enslaved, she looked so sad. Ke Er, this fella, was simply heartless. He didn't even show any of the anger or sadness that Lanya Planet showed after being enslaved. He was simply a fool. Other than the initial anger when they communicated through the flying saucer, he had completely turned into a spectator now.
"Do you know why so many people are afraid of Leonard?" Lan Xiaobu glanced at Leonard, who was far away. At this moment, this fella had already recruited 10 people. If it wasn't for the rule that only 10 people could be recruited, this fella might have recruited hundreds or thousands of people.
Ding He said, "Because Leonard came from Giant Foothill Planet, which is a level 2 technological civilisation planet. Moreover, he came very early. Before you guys came, many people here already knew of Leonard's existence. They also knew that he came from a level 2 technological civilisation planet. Such a person, no one would dare to offend him. "
Lan Xiaobu said doubtfully, "Even a level 2 technological civilisation planet was enslaved?"
Ding He shook his head, "No, he betrayed Giant Foothill Planet and came to join Zhen Nuo Planet."
"No wonder he's so arrogant. A fella who betrayed his own mother planet, what's there to be arrogant about?" Ke Er said hatefully.
