Chapter 246: Joining the Army

Leaving the legend in Hornstone City, without a trace of nostalgia, Zhou Ming came to the Iron-Blooded Roaring Legion.

The establishment of the Iron Roar Legion is a typical command system, generally thirty regular soldiers for a battalion, with one commander. For every ten Commanders, there is a Great Commander. Among the three to five commanders, there is a general.

The entire Iron-Blooded Roaring Legion, with about 3,000 regular soldiers, is composed of almost a hundred battalions, ten commanders, three generals, and a two-star general who sits in command of the whole army.

This is the strength of the legion on paper, and as for how many powerful people are hidden under the paper, I am afraid that only people who are extremely familiar with the legion can really know.

For this legion, Zhou Ming is actually no stranger. From Ma Lin and his entourage, Zhou Ming really got a lot of information. Especially the second time, the information obtained from Guo Linsong covered almost all aspects of this legion. In addition, Tieyun Dao also provided him with a lot of useful information.

Zhou Ming didn't have a black eye, but came prepared.

"Chen Fan, we're meeting again!"

Inside the big tent, General Hong Gufeng Hong personally met with Zhou Ming. It was he who united with Mu Xuanliu and sent a formal invitation to Zhou Ming to join the army. Now that Zhou Ming has come to the legion, he is naturally under his command. Although in terms of identity, as one of the three major one-star generals in the legion, Hong Gufeng has no need to meet a recruit in person. But obviously, the rookie in front of him is not simple. That's the new King of Beasts who hasn't tasted defeat in Hornrock. The young man in front of him had already brought huge profits to the legion before he joined the army, and after repeated verification and observation, he did not find anything suspicious.

Such a good seedling, once he grows up, can definitely become a mainstay in the army, and he has the grace of knowing things, and he will inevitably be a big talent under him in the future. Receiving it in person can bring you closer to your feelings, so why not.

"Subordinates meet General Hong!"

Zhou Ming bowed slightly, always calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

"No need to be polite!"

Hong Gufeng waved his hand, not angry but arrogant, looked at Zhou Ming, frowned slightly, and sighed: "It seems that you took Shen Xiao's move that day, and your cultivation has improved again!"

It is no wonder that Hong Gufeng sighed like this, because even if it was him, a dignified nine-rank beast master, he couldn't detect the wild aura on Zhou Ming's body. If he hadn't known how powerful the young man in front of him was earlier, he would definitely have thought that Zhou Ming was an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate at all.

"It's true that there is a little improvement, but compared to the general, it's still too bad!"

Zhou Ming smiled slightly, modestly, with a little compliment.

Hong Gufeng laughed, and didn't care much about these personal secrets, and raised his eyes to sweep the other people in the tent: "The ranks are all my old subordinates, it's not a secret, Chen Fan is a rare talent, I don't know who you want?"

Hearing these words, Zhou Ming couldn't help but be slightly shocked, only to know that the four people in the tent were not simple, they were actually the great commanders under Hong Gufeng.

As we all know, there is only one great commander out of ten. Generally speaking, a battalion of troops under the Grand Commander is the elite battalion of the ten.

Hong Gufeng asked the four commanders to pick it personally, there is no doubt that Zhou Ming will directly enter the elite battalion, and the starting point is naturally much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

From this small detail, Zhou Ming also realized Hong Gufeng's sincerity.

"It seems that it is the same everywhere, and ability is the last word. It's a pity that I'm not here to serve your Roaring Kingdom!"

Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, and saw the four great commanders exchanging glances. In a moment, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a burly figure stepped forward and said, "General, we have already had some plans before. At the moment, I am short of competent manpower, and my brothers are interested in taking care of me, so I am welcome!"

"Xie Ao, then I'll hand over my Chen Fan to you!"

Hong Gufeng nodded, raised his hand and waved, and a military badge flew straight towards Xie Ao Xie Commander. Xie Ao stretched out his hand to catch it, turned to look at Zhou Ming and said, "Hurry up and sacrifice blood! From now on, you will be a member of my Xie Ao!"

Zhou Ming took the military badge thrown by Xie Ao, looked at it carefully, and found that it was similar to the military merit coat of arms of the Shanhai Kingdom, except that the military badge of the Roaring Kingdom, with a bear on one side and a wolf on the other, was the symbol of the Roaring Kingdom - the roar of the earth and the roar of the storm. Without much hesitation, Zhou Ming quickly refined the general's card.

General Hong Gufeng then stared at him and said a few words of encouragement, and Zhou Ming withdrew from the big tent with Xie Ao and went straight to the camp.

It is a complex of buildings made of cut and regular stones, detached, with courtyards in front and back, and equipped with servants' dwellings, animal houses, etc., the area is not small, no more, no less, the whole is thirty rooms.

Xie Ao's style of action is very decisive and concise, with the demeanor of an iron-blooded soldier, and he has not spoken much along the way. When Chen Fan was brought to his residence, all kinds of orders were ordered, and everything was arranged, the other members of the camp were already waiting in the open space in front of the barracks.

At a glance, Zhou Ming found that this battalion was not full, and there were only twenty-one people, and a small half of them were injured.

"Could it be that there has been a war on the grassland in the past month?"

Zhou Ming's heart couldn't help but sink. For the past month, he has been busy with cultivation and beast fighting, living in seclusion, and knows almost nothing about things outside the city. Judging from the previous situation, there is a real possibility of a big war on the steppe in January.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a newcomer to our camp, Chen Fan. Although Chen Fan is a newcomer in the army, in the Hornstone City in the rear, he is the famous king of beasts, and he is by no means an unknown person. When you join our army, you are comrades. If they are comrades, they are brothers. I hope that the rank can get familiar with it as soon as possible and have a good relationship!"

Xie Ao's voice was hard and powerful, but it was full of a trace of tragedy, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Ming and said, "Okay, you can introduce yourself to you! Later, you still have a character to complete!"

The atmosphere here made Zhou Ming feel that something was wrong. From ordinary soldiers to the commander Xie Ao, there was a tragic aura of grief and indignation on his body.

Zhou Ming nodded, introduced himself concisely, and was quite curious about the so-called task.

"Bring it on!"

Xie Ao didn't talk nonsense, but his face became more and more cold, and he waved his hand violently, letting out a shout full of iron-blooded murderous aura.

Several warriors in front of him received the order, dodged out of the queue, and in a short time, seven bloodstained and miserable figures came to the clearing, roughly pressed them to the ground, and knelt in a row horizontally.

It was seven beast masters, from the second rank to the fifth grade, from young to middle-aged, all from the advance army of the Mountain and Sea Kingdom. That's actually seven captives. Zhou Ming recognized their origins almost at a glance.

His nerves tensed for a moment, but reason was telling him to hold his breath.

"Three days ago, we had a bloody battle on the front line, losing 10 of our comrades. ”

Xie Ao's face was expressionless, and he looked at Zhou Ming with iron and blood: "Soldiers, you must see blood." We've killed too much, and these seven captives are a gift from your brothers!"

With a bang, Xie Ao suddenly pulled out the saber on his body, handed it to Zhou Ming, and ordered in a deep voice: "Chop off their heads and pick them before the barracks!"

"It's a temptation! It's definitely a temptation!"

In Zhou Ming's heart, a voice was telling him. His origin is untraceable, and the people of the legion will definitely not easily believe him, so all kinds of temptations must be indispensable. It's just that Zhou Ming didn't expect that the first problem Xie Ao gave him was to execute the captives of the Mountain and Sea Kingdom.

Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him for a moment.

What should Zhou Ming do?

If he really came from the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas, he must be unbearable, and maybe he would have to show some flaws.

However, he is not!

"Poor people, I'm sorry! let me give you a good time!"

Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, but his face was solemn, and he reached out and took the battle knife in Xie Ao's hand, and his posture looked very decisive. It is true that Zhou Ming is not a hard-hearted person. After all, his position is on the side of the Mountain and Sea Kingdom, and he feels pity for these seven people in his heart. However, he knew very well that since these seven people had become prisoners, they would definitely not end well.

Where there is war, there will be sacrifice.

After listening to Xie Ao's words, he already knew why there was a tragic aura of grief and anger on the people here, because they had just suffered a heavy defeat and lost a full ten people, equivalent to one-third of a battalion.

Teng Teng, Zhou Ming held a knife in one hand and strode to the front of the seven people.

"Even if we die, we will not die well. When the army of mountains and seas comes, you will be wiped out, and there will be no place to bury you!"

"Shame on me for not dying on the battlefield!"

“...... But beg to die!"

"Little thief, do it quickly, what are you waiting for?"

......

Looking at Zhou Ming in front of him, the seven people who were already seriously injured suddenly let out a long howl of grief and indignation.

When Zhou Ming heard this, his heart was depressed, his face sank suddenly, and he shouted: "Don't worry, my knife is very fast, and on the Huangquan Road, you can still go together!"

Click......

The knife fell back and forth a few times, blood splattered, and people's heads rolled. Zhou Ming's knife was indeed neat and tight.
