The young woman had no reason to refuse. She had originally come to recruit Yang Wu, but before she could state her conditions, Yang Wu had requested to join them. This caught her off guard.
Just like that, Yang Wu joined the Empress Battalion.
The people from the other battalions were not convinced and kept saying some nasty things. They said that the Empress Battalion had never recruited men, but now they had made an exception. They said that they must be in love. Some of the more violent veterans even cursed.
The young woman and the people from the Empress Battalion endured. They knew that their decision to recruit Yang Wu would cause a lot of criticism. So what if the words were nasty? It was better than the Empress Battalion being swallowed by the other battalions.
They could endure, but Yang Wu could not.
He said in a clear voice, "I, Yang Wu, have already joined the Empress Battalion, so I am now a member of the Empress Battalion. I don't wish to hear anything that is detrimental to the Empress Battalion. I hope that everyone will be careful and not harm the harmony between us."
Yang Wu's words were already being lenient. He did not point at the veterans and curse them, but they were not happy.
"Who do you think you are? Even the people from the Empress Battalion don't dare to say anything. You, a rookie, dare to provoke us?" A bald veteran from the Wild Lion Battalion touched his bald head and said rudely.
Another veteran from the Divine Arrow Battalion sneered and said, "He's treating the Empress Battalion as his harem. He's busy protecting these little girls."
The young woman shouted, "If you continue to talk nonsense …"
Before her voice fell, two blood-curdling screams rang out.
Ah! Ah!
The two people who had just spoken were kicked by Yang Wu into the moat.
When they fell into the moat, a terrifying murderous aura suddenly appeared. It swept towards the two veterans and quickly took their lives.
Yang Wu looked at this scene in surprise. He did not expect the water of the moat to be so strange. If he fell into the moat, would he follow in the same footsteps?
"Brat, you've gotten yourself into big trouble. You even dared to kill people from our Wild Lion Battalion."
"Too arrogant. Do you really think that you can look down on us just because you have some ability?"
"Openly breaking the rules of the Eight Great Battalions, this kid is dead for sure."
Many of the veterans were no longer friendly to Yang Wu.
There were rules in the city that forbade infighting. This was also the reason why the weak Empress Battalion had never been replaced.
Yang Wu had directly attacked and caused the deaths of two people. This was a taboo.
"Come back to the camp with me." The young woman knew that Yang Wu was in trouble, so she quickly pulled him back to the camp.
The other veterans did not stop him. As long as they were in the ancient city, no one could escape.
News of what had happened here would soon reach the ears of the leaders, and someone would come to punish Yang Wu.
Yang Wu followed the young woman to a simple pavilion. This was the encampment of the Empress Battalion. One of the more luxurious pavilions was the residence of the Empress Battalion's leader.
The people of the ancient city came and went. Basically, they would not stay for long. Every one hundred years, there would be a new batch of people. Thus, the place where they lived was not very particular.
The place where the leader lived had been abandoned for more than ten years. The leader of the Princess Battalion never came back, and no one lived in it. After all, the princess was very talented and had left a great reputation in the ancient city. Even the other leaders had to give her some face, and the people of the Princess Battalion respected her even more. Naturally, no one dared to occupy this pavilion.
The young woman called for the female soldiers in the city.
Soon, female soldiers of all ages came. Each of them had a frightening murderous aura. They were all strong women who had experienced the baptism of blood and tears.
Yang Wu thought that there would not be many people in the Empress Battalion. He did not expect more than ten thousand people to come in the blink of an eye.
The young woman first introduced herself and then began to talk about the basic situation of the Empress Battalion.
The young woman was called Mi Jiaya. She was currently the commander of the Empress Battalion. She had the combat power of a top Celestial Soldier and was not far from a Celestial General.
The other battalions had many Celestial Generals, but the Empress Battalion only had a dozen Celestial Soldier Commanders. It was no wonder that they could not compete with them.
Celestial Soldiers were chiliarchs. Their combat power had recovered to the level of a Saint.
Those who had not reached the Saint level were soldiers below the Celestial Soldier level. Those who had surpassed the Saint level were Celestial Generals. Those who had surpassed the Saint level were Heavenly Kings.
There were not many Heavenly Kings in the ancient city. They could be counted with two hands. Basically, only the leaders of the eight battalions had such strength.
Those who had reached the Heavenly King level had already left the Divine Firmament battlefield.
After Yang Wu understood this division, he also understood the survival system here. With the strength he had displayed so far, he indeed had the combat power of a Celestial Soldier.
In addition, the Empress Battalion used to have more than a hundred thousand people. Over the past ten years, after many teams had died, there were less than thirty thousand left.
The other battalions had fifty thousand or even eighty thousand people.
The number of battle camps was limited. Firstly, there would be people leaving the Immortal Realm every hundred years. More of them would die in the various Mystery Realms, and there were also some who returned to the various realms. Secondly, there would be new blood to replenish the battle camps after a period of time. This cycle was repeated over and over again, so the scale of each battle camp was equal.
The female soldiers looked at the young man who had suddenly joined and were very curious. They remembered that the rules did not say that they could recruit men.
Mi Jiaya said to them, "Ever since the leader of the Empress Battalion went out and did not return, we have been declining day by day. I, Mi Jiaya, do not have the ability of a leader. It is very difficult to protect everyone, so with the agreement of the other sisters, we recruited this newcomer, Yang Wu. He is a newcomer who passed the Newcomer's Bridge with his bare hands. All eight battalions want to recruit him because he has the combat power of a Celestial Soldier. Now that he is willing to join us, as long as he passes our test, I plan to make an exception and promote him to a commander.
What do you think? "The women of the Empress Battalion were very united. Otherwise, they would not have lasted until today. After Mi Jiaya made the announcement, no one objected. Only some people voiced their opinions. Yang Wu had to show enough combat power to be a commander. Otherwise, they would not be convinced.
"Yang Wu, you heard it. If you want to be a commander, then show us some real ability." Mi Jiaya said to Yang Wu.
"Uh … Actually, I just want to be an ordinary soldier. You can just pretend that I don't exist. I just want to have a place to stay in the city." Yang Wu said while rubbing his nose.
He really did not want to be a commander. He did not want to stay here for a long time. Once he obtained the Mysterious Essence Qi, he would find a way to leave.
"No, you have joined our Empress Battalion, so you have to take responsibility." Mi Jiaya said seriously.
Yang Wu said helplessly, "Okay, you have the final say in what to do."
"Fei Qing, Fei Ya, step forward." Mi Jiaya said loudly.
"Here!" Two tall women stepped forward with maces in their hands.
These two women were very tall and full of killing intent. At first glance, it was obvious that they were the kind of female soldiers who focused on strength.
"You two test Yang Wu's strength. Remember to do your best." Mi Jiaya ordered.
"Yes." The two women said at the same time.
Yang Wu looked at the two women and spread out his hands. "I don't have the habit of hitting women."
"But we have the habit of hitting men." Fei Qing shouted and smashed her mace at Yang Wu.
She used all her strength as soon as she attacked. The khaki-colored power formed a wolf demon and smashed at Yang Wu.
The other woman called Fei Ya went around to the other side and smashed her mace at Yang Wu's waist. The power of killing intent surged and was extremely domineering.
These two were sisters, and their cooperation was very skillful. They were actually able to fight a Celestial Soldier and not lose. It was enough to show that their strength was extraordinary.
They quickly had the strength to become Celestial Soldiers. It was very convincing to let them fight Yang Wu.
Their attacks seemed very fierce, but in Yang Wu's eyes, they were still too slow.
Yang Wu took a Tai Chi stance and directly pulled Fei Qing's attack away and smashed it on Fei Ya's attack. Their attacks collided with each other, and they were both pushed back.
A trace of astonishment flashed across their faces, and then they increased the speed of their attacks.
The Wolf Fanged Mace blasted towards Yang Wu with a sharp attack, not showing any mercy.
All the female soldiers were watching. They all wanted to see what Yang Wu was capable of.
Yang Wu was still using the Tai Chi stance. He disintegrated their attacks and pushed them to the ground.
His every movement was very smooth and very elegant. Many female soldiers were mesmerized. Some of the female soldiers even cheered loudly. There were also female soldiers who thought that Yang Wu was just using tricks and had an unfair advantage.
"Are you a soft-hearted man? Take out your strength and fight with us, "Fei Qing shouted.
"That's right. Let us see how strong you are. Otherwise, we won't accept it," Fei Ya also shouted.
They attacked again. A lot of power seeped out from the void and blocked Yang Wu's path. They used the most violent power to suppress Yang Wu.
"Alright, you guys watch carefully." Yang Wu responded, and his figure moved.
Everyone only saw a blur in front of their eyes. The next moment, they saw Fei Qing and Fei Ya vomiting blood and flying far away.
Yang Wu was still standing in the same place as if he had never left.
All the female soldiers were completely shocked.
"Good!" Mi Jiaya was the first to shout.
The other female soldiers also cheered. "Good. Welcome, Commander Yang Wu."
"Welcome, Commander Yang Wu."
Wave after wave of cheers shocked the ancient city.
Just as they finished their greetings, a sneering voice came from not far away. "Where is Yang Wu of the Empress Battalion? Get out here and accept your punishment."
Everyone in the Empress Battalion was stunned. They looked in the direction of the person who had come, and their faces were full of confusion.
