Chapter 287 The Flame Wolf Army, Heaven Has Eyes!
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Luo has some connection with this junior?" The strongman from the Azure Wolf Army said, as long as it wasn't the Heavenly Wolf Army that had any connection with him.
"Of course, in that battle back then, we were able to turn the tide entirely thanks to Master Tianfeng's single-handed efforts in defeating the enemy. Today, we are fortunate to see that he still has disciples who have passed on their true teachings. They should join our Lone Wolf Army, and our entire army will do its utmost to train them."
"Hmph." The great cultivator of the Heavenly Wolf Army was not going to tolerate him. "If it were the twentieth-ranked team, your words would be fine, and we would let you have it. But it is the second-ranked team! Which family would not give it their all? Our Heavenly Wolf Army will fight for it today. Boy, join our Heavenly Wolf Army, and you will be allowed to choose any general to command and serve as a member of our personal guard."
"Um!!!"
The others were taken aback. Such high demands? They'd even offer a personal guard position?
The personal guards are the most elite and loyal soldiers. Most generals are at the Nascent Soul stage, and the personal guards are usually composed of a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators led by their adopted sons who are around the Golden Core stage. Even the poorer ones have a hundred or so people.
With over a hundred Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and seven or eight Golden Core stage cultivators forming a grand formation, they could easily withstand weaker Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
"Are you crazy? He's only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and you dare to promise him a position as a personal guard?"
The representative of the Sirius Army naturally felt uneasy, but this young man in front of him was quite capable, managing to get involved with the Sirius Army's top general, that guy surnamed Mu. Since he had spoken, they had to show some sincerity.
The powerful cultivators around him were making a lot of noise, but Zhong Ming couldn't hear them at all. These experts were expressionless and were all using their divine sense to transmit their thoughts. From Zhong Ming's perspective, they were sitting high on the platform, and he only heard three sentences in total.
One sentence was a mockery of him by the Ruyi Wolf Army, while the other two were olive branches extended to him by the Lone Wolf Army and the Sky Wolf Army.
After considering it for a moment, he said, "I thank you all for your kindness, seniors, but my master taught me a special technique that can strengthen magic weapons and improve their grade. I was also introduced to the Yue family at the foot of Shuangjian Mountain and joined the army. I hope to become a disciple of the Yanlang Army."
After those words, everyone was stunned.
Kid, you should just throw your weapon at the worst wolf army.
No, this kid's expertise is what makes his story somewhat interesting. Otherwise, why would he be thinking of being a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond?
At this moment, the Grandmaster of the Flame Wolf Army was the most innocent. He had long been mentally prepared; he hadn't even planned to look at the new recruits in the front ranks, intending to close his eyes and rest. He didn't plan to open his eyes at all unless they were weapon refiners or something similar. But now...
Zhong Ming felt a powerful force suddenly rise from his left side, and the entire hall seemed to be in turmoil.
Turning his head, he saw that a powerful cultivator from the Flame Wolf Army had already leaped down from the platform and come to his side.
Despite his cold and silent demeanor, he was actually arguing heatedly with others through telepathic communication.
“Every year you are the ones scrambling for talented people. This time, a junior has volunteered to join our army. No matter what you say, I want this person today. Have you not heard the saying, ‘If you treat me as a national hero, I will repay you as a national hero’? Now someone has returned to the army like a personal guard, so I will treat him as a personal guard myself. It’s just a personal guard position, right? My Yanlang Army can afford it.”
"Nonsense, Zhao Dapao, tell me honestly, did you secretly use telepathy to make empty promises to this kid? Do you think we're fools?"
"Old Luo, I think you've lost your mind. How could this kid, who's only at the Qi Refining stage, possibly receive divine thought transmission? In my opinion, it must be that your Yanlang Army sent some damn Yue family to take a liking to him from the very beginning, but instead of accepting him as a disciple, they forced him to come and participate in the assessment, just to annoy us. If you ask me, it's because the Yanlang Army is used to losing, and today they're determined to win."
“Zhao Dapao, you’re being too unfair. I strongly object to the old guys from other states trying to take him, but you want this kid? I don’t agree. I have to fight for him.”
Suddenly, before Zhong Ming could recover from the awe and trepidation of the powerful figures from the Flame Wolf Army descending in person, a powerful figure on another high platform spoke up:
"The power to upgrade the grade of magical artifacts is quite suitable for our army. Young friend, why not join my Golden Wolf Army? Our mechs, battle puppets, and steel armor are all perfectly suited to your cultivation methods. A true man should ride a battle puppet to trample all villains. If you join our army, I will personally pay for a Golden Elephant-level battle puppet for you."
It sounds nice, but he overlooked one point: it seems Zhong Ming has no idea about the battle puppet's level.
He had no idea how powerful the Golden Elephant level was.
The powerful cultivator from the Flame Wolf Army moved with incredible speed. Before he could finish speaking, he grabbed Zhong Ming's shoulder and said, "Since you sincerely wish to join the Flame Wolf Army, our army will naturally not treat you unfairly. Let me first tell you about the Yue family of Shuangjian Mountain..."
At this moment, he was searching through a large number of his past memories. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't think of any powerful person with the surname Yue. He even thought about Shuangjian Mountain for a while before he realized that it was located deep in Yunzhou. It was only considered a starting point when the Chen family dynasty conquered the world. Now it has been peaceful and stable for a long time, and there are almost no troops stationed there.
Who would care about that?
Fortunately, Zhong Ming also wanted to help the Yue family, since he was, after all, a guest of the Yue family. "Senior, the Yue family was determined to join the Flame Wolf Army's Shield Guard, but many of their members died in battle in Panlong City."
"Yes, the Yue family are the pillars of our Yanlang Army. Their members are brave and fearless, shedding their blood on the battlefield. How can our Yanlang Army abandon its principles and disregard the sacrifices of the Yue family, causing Yunzhou to lose heart? I will immediately write down the order: When the Yue family is prosperous, they protect the country with their blood and flesh; when they are in decline, they seek out talents for the army. They are truly a loyal and righteous family in Yunzhou. They should be promoted and granted titles to show the world, demonstrate the grandeur of our dynasty, and unite the hearts of the Yunzhou army."
If it weren't for the presence of others, the other military representatives would have already spat in this direction.
You've lost all sense of shame. The Seven Armies Election Conference is a grand event for the entire three southern states. Here you are, talking about the Chen Dynasty on one side and Yunzhou on the other. Isn't that disgusting?
The Golden Wolf Army member also realized what was happening and regretted being a step too slow. This kid had already mentioned the Yue family, how come he hadn't thought of starting with the Yue family?
This wasn't about Zhong Ming's face; it was because the Flame Wolf Army had been feeling aggrieved for far too long. Our mighty artillery force was being treated like a dumping ground for unwanted cultivators, and all the outstanding talents of Yunzhou were leaving for other places.
Today, we must return the favor and, by borrowing the name of Master Cuihong and the Yue family, tell all the cultivators in Yunzhou that our Yanlang Army is no less talented than other wolf armies, and that our army will extend its blessings to families!
Zhong Ming felt a surge of excitement rising in his heart. His hands were firmly grasped and shaken a few times. Then he heard a voice in his ear: "Welcome to the Flame Wolf Army. We will give you the greatest freedom within our limits. Just go and fight for the vast future you desire."
