Chapter 175: The Meaning of a Soldier

Wang Zhan looked at Zhao Yiming, who had greatly increased his cultivation in front of him, his eyes were full of undisguised appreciation, and he said with a smile: "It seems that you are ready to graduate, let's go, I will personally send you out." ”

"Instructor, I still have to say hello to a few friends!" Zhao Yiming hurriedly said.

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Leaving the Library Pavilion, Zhao Yiming went to Cave No. 2 and asked Bao Yongshou to call everyone out and say goodbye to them one by one.

"Brother Zhao, you go to the army to develop first, and I can't wait for us to go out, I have to continue to follow you. ”

"Hehe, with your strength and talent, it won't be long before you can become a general, or even a general, then we will have a place to settle down at that time. ”

"Yes, it is better to work under someone else's hands, it is better to work under Brother Zhao, after all, Brother Zhao will not deduct our military exploits. ”

......

Everyone was very excited and kept talking.

When they sent Zhao Yiming to the foot of the mountain, Bao Yongshou reminded with a solemn face: "Be careful of the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, I guess they won't give up." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, now I'm no longer the weak person who casually let them knead at the beginning. Zhao Yiming's eyes flashed, and his face was full of confidence.

With his current strength, it is no longer possible for the Shenwu Marquis Mansion to send a random person to solve him, at least he has to be a powerful martial artist in the Five Yuan Realm and the Three Yang Realm.

And there are not many martial artists of this level in the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, not to mention, he also has the identity protection of 'brigadier general'.

At least, in this area of the imperial capital, the Shenwu Marquis Mansion would not dare to kill him openly, otherwise Emperor Xia would definitely not spare the Shenwu Marquis Mansion.

"Take care!"

"Take care!"

......

After saying goodbye to Bao Yongshou and them, Zhao Yiming met with Wang Zhan and conducted a simple military rank promotion ceremony in a stone hall at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the brigadier general card worn on Zhao Yiming's chest, Wang Zhan said with emotion: "You are really lucky, you have encountered such a good opportunity as the officer training camp, I think when I was promoted to brigadier general, but I survived more than a dozen life and death disasters in the wilderness, and every time I crawled out of the pile of dead people, I accumulated the merits of being promoted to brigadier general." ”

Zhao Yiming was secretly shocked when he heard this, more than a dozen life and death catastrophes, this is simply terrifying.

"Isn't it scary?"

Wang Zhan seemed to see Zhao Yiming's thoughts, and said with a smile: "In fact, most of the people who can come back alive from the wilderness will have this kind of experience, because there is a meat grinding ground there, and if ten people go in, at least nine people will die in it." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhan looked at Zhao Yiming, who was surprised, and said in a deep voice: "The mortality rate of the barbarian is as high as ninety percent, and it has never changed since the establishment of our Great Xia Empire. ”

"Ah......" Zhao Yiming's eyes widened when he heard this, and his face was incredulous.

It has always been a 90 percent mortality rate, so how many people have died over the years?

Wang Zhan suddenly asked, "Have you heard of the name of the Demon Slayer Army?"

Zhao Yiming nodded, when he was in the East Palace, he saw a team of demon slayer army, and that momentum he still can't forget.

Wang Zhan said proudly: "The Demon Slayer Army is known as the first army of our Great Xia Empire, and it is because they have been fighting with demon beasts all year round in the wilderness that they have created this iron-blooded strong army. ”

Zhao Yiming nodded, being able to survive such a high mortality rate, even if it was a waste, he would be honed into a predator.

Wang Zhan looked at Zhao Yiming and continued: "You are a brigadier general, and you came out of the officer training camp, I estimate that there is a good chance that you will be sent to the wilderness to join the Demon Slayer Army. So, you'd better be mentally prepared, the horror there will definitely be more than you imagined. ”

Zhao Yiming nodded and said solemnly: "It is also my honor to be able to join the Demon Slayer Army. ”

He had no problem with this, the Great Xia Empire cultivated them like this, and they naturally needed to fulfill some obligations, which was normal.

"It's good that you have this kind of awareness!"

Hearing Zhao Yiming's words, Wang Zhan nodded appreciatively, and then said with a smile: "Of course, although the wilderness is very dangerous, it is a good place for a truly strong person. Because in the wilderness, you can quickly accumulate military exploits, and the generals and marquis are not a problem. I can tell you that seventy percent of the Hou Ye of our Great Xia Empire came out of the barbaric demon slayer army. ”

Zhao Yiming's eyes flashed, if he wants to compete with the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, then he must first elevate his identity, preferably to the Marquis.

And a place like the wilderness is obviously the most suitable for him, which can allow him to quickly accumulate combat exploits.

Zhao Yiming looked at Wang Zhan, his face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Instructor, I won't embarrass you." ”

Wang Zhan smiled: "I have confidence in you!"

He has witnessed Zhao Yiming's talent, as long as Zhao Yiming does not die, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a marquis in the future.

......

After being promoted to the rank, Zhao Yiming left the officer training camp with a group of soldiers.

Zhao Yiming recognized the officer who was the leader of them, and it was this person who sent him in when he entered the officer training camp.

"Under Zhao Yiming, dare to ask my brother's name?" Zhao Yiming couldn't help asking.

The officer at the head did not have a cold face as before, but said with a smile: "General Zhao is polite, his subordinate Xia Chengfu is only one of the commanders." ”

Captain?

Zhao Yiming was slightly moved, this position is already very high, in the Great Xia Imperial Army, the lowest rank is ordinary soldiers, then senior soldiers, and then centurions, thousands, and then brigadier generals.

It is precisely because of so many military positions that Wang Zhan will feel how lucky Zhao Yiming's group of people is, directly crossing many levels and stepping into the brigadier level.

Brother Xia laughed, Zhao is only a brigadier general, and he doesn't know when he will be promoted to general. Zhao Yiming then said modestly.

Xia Chengfu shook his head and said: "If it were someone else, I would still be suspicious, but General Zhao, your famous subordinates are like thunder, you won the first place in the Holy Land Battle, and now you are the first place in our officer training camp, with your talent, let alone being promoted to general, the future marquis is just around the corner." ”

"Brother Chengxia's good words. Zhao Yiming smiled bitterly.

Xia Chengfu's face suddenly showed a hint of hesitation, and then, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "General Zhao, as far as I know, most of your brigadier generals who come out of the officer training camp will be sent to the wilderness. I have a brother who is in the wilderness, and I don't know if he is dead or alive now, can General Zhao help me bring him a message? Although I, Xia Chengfu, am not a big man, as long as General Zhao helps me with this, I Xia Chengfu will not hesitate to go to the soup in the future. ”

Brother Xia said seriously. Hearing this, Zhao Yiming hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's just a sentence, Brother Xia doesn't have to be like this, if I go to the wilderness, I will definitely help you bring it, I don't know what your brother's name is? What do you want to bring him?"

Xia Chengfu looked grateful, and hurriedly said: "My brother is called Yu Deshou, if he hadn't died, he would have been at least a master now." If you see him, help me tell him that everything is fine at home, that his uncle and aunt are in good health, that his wife and children are fine, and that his youngest son is already able to speak. ”

Zhao Yiming smiled dumbly, he thought he would let him bring something, but he didn't expect it to be just these common words, he was a little curious: "Has your brother not come back for a long time?"

Xia Chengfu sighed: "When his wife was three months pregnant, he was transferred to the wilderness as a thousand-commander, and now his youngest son is two and a half years old, and he has been in the wilderness for more than three years. ”

Zhao Yiming was silent, if it was before, he would definitely feel that only three years was not a long time. But after knowing the horror of the wilderness, he knew very well that in the past three years, how many death crises that Yu Deshou had experienced, and whether he was still alive or not was unknown.

Zhao Yiming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What if he dies?" I'm sorry, I know it's unlucky to say this, but you came back from the wilderness, and you know the horror of the wilderness better than me. ”

Xia Chengfu sighed: "Of course I know the horror of the wilderness, it is definitely a dangerous place for nine deaths and a lifetime, I even guessed that my brother is probably dead, after all, he has not replied for almost a year." ”

Speaking of this, Xia Chengfu said in a deep voice: "If it is determined that he is dead, I hope General Zhao can help me send his ashes back, and if there are no ashes, then send his relics back." ”

"Okay!" Zhao Yiming nodded, his mood was a little heavy, and he didn't say anything more.

After sending Zhao Yiming outside the training camp, Xia Chengfu said, "General Zhao take care!"

"Take care too!" Zhao Yiming nodded, then stared at Xia Chengfu, and asked curiously, "Why did you join the army in the first place?"

"Regret!"

To Zhao Yiming's surprise, Xia Chengfu actually replied that he regretted it.

However, without waiting for Zhao Yiming to ask again, Xia Chengfu opened his mouth and continued: "Although I regret it, if I had to choose again, I would still choose to join the army, or I would go to the wilderness." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yiming was a little puzzled, didn't this be a bull's head and a horse's mouth, contradicting each other.

Xia Chengfu seemed to see Zhao Yiming's doubts, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to say any big truth, and I won't say any big reason, but I have seen the horror of those demon beasts in the wilderness, they like to eat people the most, if they are allowed to rush out of the wilderness and invade the territory of our Great Xia Empire, my parents, brothers, wives and children, all of them will be eaten." Therefore, even if it is to protect these relatives, even if I die, I will die in the wilderness. ”

After speaking, Xia Chengfu turned around and returned to the officer training camp with a team of soldiers.

Zhao Yiming, who stayed in place, looked at Xia Chengfu and their backs, and suddenly felt very heavy in his heart.

He used to feel that the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire had nothing to do with him, and if he had a choice, he would definitely choose to join the Holy Land.

But now he understands that they can live a stable life in the rear because of these soldiers desperately guarding in the wilderness.

It was they who desperately resisted the invasion of the demon beasts.

No matter how quiet the years are, someone is carrying the weight for you.

At this moment, Zhao Yiming really understood the meaning of a soldier, he took a deep breath, and his eyes became extremely firm.

"I've heard that the more powerful the monster meat, the more fragrant it tastes after grilling, so I want to give it a try. ”

Zhao Yiming smiled lightly and flew towards the imperial capital.
