Chapter 1215: Combat Power Integration

Tai Shi Ci was a little disappointed in his joy.

After unexpectedly becoming the first general of the Shang Army to break through to the SS level (automatically excluding Shang Ji himself), Tai Shici was briefly promoted to the first general of the Shang Army, but this title was not maintained for even a month, and he was surpassed again!

And once out two!

After Tai Shici was promoted, Poseidon was jointly killed, and Shang Ji and Yamatai were seen up close, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong broke through the restrictions almost at the same time and successfully promoted to SS-level generals.

In fact, it is not only Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong who have broken through.

In the joint battle with the forces of Poseidon and Yamatai, many generals of the Shang Army were killed, and the three sides accumulated more than fifty S-class generals who fell in this battle, most of whom were killed by the generals of the Shang Army, and all the generals who participated in the battle and survived had a considerable improvement.

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici are just the three most eye-catching, in addition to them, Liu Meng, Zhao Shen, Lu Kuang, Qin Ping, Pan Feng, Tian Kai, Fang Yue, etc. have gained a lot.

For example, Lu Kuang, Gao Xiang, Qin Ping, Zhao Shen and several others have all broken through to the heaven-level generals, and Tizoke, Xu Rong, Guo Biao, Su Huan and others, who were originally heaven-level low-grade generals, have gone further and been promoted to the heaven-level middle grade.

Among the veteran generals, as long as they are not relegated to the second line at present, the lowest is also a prefecture-level general.

Gan Ning, Li Sunsin, and Liu Meng, two generals of the naval division, were promoted to the peak generals of the heaven-level at the same time, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the senior generals of the Shang Ji Army was greatly improved.

And with Himiko swearing allegiance, more than a dozen S-level generals and one SS-level general were added to the Shang Army, and Himiko's own combat effectiveness was not much weaker than Shang Ji, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, the two newly promoted SS-level generals, were not necessarily her opponents in a single battle.

And the more than ten surviving Yamatai generals are not ordinary people, and their strength is generally above the prefecture level.

Coupled with the seven or eight Poseidon prisoners of war whose strength ranged from the heavenly level to the prefecture level, the Shang Ji Army has exceeded the 100 mark in terms of generals, and more than half of them are generals at the prefecture level and above.

There are five SS-level generals, accounting for five-sixths of the total number of the current Huaxia District, showing an absolute crushing situation!

As for the army, with the complete surrender of Himiko, the captured Yamatai army also naturally became part of the Shang army.

The more than 3 million captured troops are all the elite of the elite, and they can meet the standards of the Shang Army's combat legion at the very least. With a direct wave of his hand, Shang Ji took the captured army as the main body and formed ten combat legions on the spot.

As for the extra soldiers, they were scattered and supplemented into the original thirty or so combat regiments.

Although there are certain hidden dangers in this way, the victory lies in high efficiency, and the newly formed corps only needs the simplest run-in to restore combat effectiveness, which is much more efficient than breaking up and starting over.

Of course, it is not that Shang Ji has not failed to take precautions. Of the ten newly formed battle legions, five of the commanders were generals from the Himiko side, the other three were generals from Poseidon's side, and the remaining two were Shang Ji's cronies promoted from among the outstanding former descendants.

Moreover, in each newly trained combat legion, there are cronies installed by the Shang Army as deputy commanders and captains, and at the same time, the generals on the Poseidon side and the generals on the Yamatai side are cross-appointed, playing a role of mutual checks and balances.

However, the remnants of Himiko's own Servant Legion are a little difficult to arrange.

Although the number of this legion is only about 30,000, its combat effectiveness is overwhelming, and only the Praetorian Guard Legion led by Shang Ji himself has the ability to suppress it, so that the Servant God Legion can form an army alone, Shang Ji is a little worried.

Fortunately, for some reason, Himiko took the initiative to disband most of the Servant Legion, leaving behind the pro-guard army only according to the practice of the Shang army, and the size was only about a thousand people.

By the way, nominally, Himiko's status is higher than that of Shangji.

At the same time as Himiko surrendered, Diao Chan, who was far away in Luoyang, sent an edict to canonize Himiko as the King of Guiyi, and Shangji's most official identity was only the Duke of Zhenbei.

Although the gold content of the official positions appointed by the imperial court has dropped again and again, the status of the prince is still high.

Shang Ji was also embarrassed to refuse, because Himiko herself was the queen of Yamadai, and after surrendering, the canonization of a Guiyi king was already a downgrade, and it was really unreasonable to surrender again.

After all, Shang Ji still counted on the soldiers of the Yamatai side to use it for his own use, so he couldn't be too unkind.

The final result is that the identity of Himiko on the surface is even higher than that of Shang Ji!

Fortunately, Himiko saw it very clearly, and he didn't take any royal shelf, and taking the initiative to disband the army of gods was an important way for him to show his submission.

Of course, the soldiers of the God Serving Legion are all ninth-order, and Shang Ji will not allow such a powerful combat power to be wasted. After the disbandment of the Serving God Legion, the soldiers of the Serving God Legion who had not yet left the gate of the barracks after receiving the severance pay received a call order from the Phoenix Dance Legion.

In the end, most of the soldiers of the Servant God Legion were recruited by the Phoenix Dance Legion, and only a few refused to be recruited and truly disarmed and returned to the field.

This made the combat effectiveness of the Phoenix Dance Legion soar, and at this time, the Phoenix Dance Legion was no longer suitable to continue to exist in the name of the branch of the Praetorian Legion, Shang Ji briefly discussed, and took the Phoenix Dance Legion out of the Praetorian Legion to form the Second Praetorian Legion, and the original Praetorian Legion was renamed the First Praetorian Legion.

The Phoenix Dance Legion was stripped away, and the number of troops in the previous war was seriously reduced, so the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard was also in urgent need of replenishment.

And because of the peculiarities of the First Praetorian Legion, all the best soldiers are given priority to replenish the Praetorian Legion. In the previous war, more than 8,000 soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Legion themselves were promoted to the ninth order, and at the same time, more than 6,000 of the more than 500 armies of more than 20 other legions were promoted to the ninth order (because most of the Praetorian Legion itself was the peak of the eighth order, so the promotion rate was much higher than that of other combat legions).

However, this time, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the rest of the combat legions, Shang Ji did not recruit all the newly promoted ninth-order soldiers to the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, but selected 2,000 and combined them with the 8,000 promoted within the Praetorian Legion, adding a total of 10,000 ninth-order soldiers.

The ninth-order soldiers are not easy to find, but the second-order eighth-order is much simpler, Shang Ji waved his hand, and directly selected more than 50,000 eighth-order peak soldiers from the whole army, and all of them joined the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, restoring the total strength of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard to a full state of 200,000.

After reorganization, the Praetorian Guard system has a total of 67,000 ninth-order soldiers, including 40,000 in the First Legion and 27,000 in the Second Legion. There are still more than 4,000 ninth-order soldiers scattered throughout the army, and the cumulative number of ninth-order soldiers in the whole army has exceeded 70,000!

In fact, what Shang Ji didn't know was that at this time, the real SS-level generals of the Shang Ji Army were not five but six, and the number of ninth-order soldiers was not 70,000 but 76,000!
