"Why do we have to recruit players?"

That is, Ling said in his words, Yue Zhen said strangely: "Who are you recruiting if you don't recruit players?" Do you want to recruit civilians? ”

After saying that, Yue Zhen seemed to wake up: "You don't really want to recruit civilians, do you?!"

"Yes, it's to recruit civilians!"

"But once civilians die, are they really gone?"

"I know, but civilians have the same IQ and combat power as the players!" Ji Ling retorted.

"Ji Ling, I know that you really want to revitalize the Tucker Army Base immediately, but recruiting civilians is really worth the loss, and the first battle of modern warfare is a large number of casualties, do you want the troops that have been worked so hard to build up will be gone in one battle?"

Yue Zhen's attitude was very resolute, that is, Ling had long known that this plan would definitely be opposed.

"I've thought about it, in fact, the civilians are not as bad as you think, and you can see their strength from this aid base! They are the natives of this world, far outnumbered by us, and must be regenerating. We can go the elite route and develop soldiers who are stronger than the player, and they are more familiar with the world! They don't necessarily have a lower IQ than us. And they are loyal! We don't need to prevent the players from mutiny!"

"Ji Ling, even if you are right, but civilians need to pay military salaries, and we don't have so many merits!" Liu also raised a practical question.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Didn't Tu Gang's troops pay the player's salary the same?" And I asked the mayors of Putrajaya that there are a lot of them who are willing to join the army and are eager to achieve their ambitions. We can feed a lot of people for a very small price, and it is understood that one meritorious service can buy food consumed by a hundred people in a day. Isn't that a lot less expensive than hiring a player's troops? ”

"This ......"

Yue Zhen couldn't find a reason to object for a while, while the others obviously obeyed the arrangement.

"Oh well! I agree with your plan, but as long as it fails, you have to listen to me and find a way to gather the players!"

"Don't worry! I'm going to make it!"

Yue Zhen relieved his mouth, everything was much easier, that is, Ling first asked the fat worm Qin Xuan and Liu Yiganxing to divide into two groups to go to nearby towns to issue conscription announcements, and then let Tang Shaowei be responsible for establishing the base network and management mechanism, which was a piece of cake for Tang Shaowei. However, the mission system could not be established, and it required 10,000 merit points, that is, Ling had to give up, and now 10,000 merit points was simply astronomical for him.

Soon, Liu Yi and others came back with the news, saying that the civilians who signed up had crowded the conscription office, and the preliminary statistics had exceeded more than 15,000 people, and according to the conscription standards given by Ji Ling and Yue Zhen, there were about 7,000 people who met. However, Yue Zhen and Ji Ling discussed that the maximum bearing capacity was 1,000 people, so the conscription conditions were raised again, and 1,000 people were finally recruited through the method of selecting the best of the best. Of course, Ling also asked the fat worms to tell the unsuccessful civilians that this was only the first batch of conscriptions, and that there would be large-scale conscription in the future, so as to calm their emotions and avoid dampening their enthusiasm, after all, they were the same as humans, no different.

The 1,000 people arrived at the base the next day, that is, Ling, Yue Zhen and others held a grand army building ceremony. In the hall of the just-completed command center, more than a thousand recruits dressed in ordinary military uniforms found in a warehouse in a residential area stood neatly. A total of seven members of the Hurricane squad stood on a specially set up rostrum, and everyone looked very excited and had a smile on their faces.

"I can't imagine that one day, I can become a leader!" Tang Shaowei said very excitedly.

"That's all you have to offer, and it is estimated that you will stay at the bottom management in the future." Liu also said unceremoniously.

The fat worm and Gan Xing stood aside and said nothing, but it could be seen that they were very nervous, but Qin Xuan was very calm, everyone thought that they were the daughters of Stormwind City in the first war zone, and there was no big scene that they hadn't seen?

"Brother Yue, go up and talk, I'm a little nervous."

Yue Zhen hurriedly postponed: "No, I'm also very nervous, suddenly I have to speak to more than a thousand people, I really don't know what to say, let's go!" ”

That is, Ling saw that Yue Zhen really didn't dare to go up, so he had to bite the bullet.

"Brothers! Hello everyone! I'm Ji Ling, and I'm gathering you here today because today is a great day for us! ”

That is, Ling paused and continued: "Today, Tucker Army Base has officially changed its name: Dragon City! From today onwards, we are the Dragon Soul Legion! ”

As soon as the words ended, a deafening cry rang out in the hall.

"Dragon Soul! Dragon Soul! Dragon Soul! ”

The name is unanimously agreed upon by everyone in the Hurricane Squad, they are all from the real-life Dragon Republic, and the soul represents their will, dying as a brother's soul!

The existing 1,000 recruits of the Dragon Soul Legion are divided into one regiment, two battalions and a special operations company according to the actual establishment, Liu Yiganxing is the commander and deputy battalion of any battalion, Fat Worm and Tang Shaowei are the commander and deputy battalion of the second battalion, Yue Zhen is the regiment commander and the commander of the special operations company, that is, Ling is the commander of the Dragon Soul Legion, and Qin Xuan has become the secretary of Ji Ling, which makes the first cadres of the Hurricane squad quite dissatisfied, you can actually match the secretary if you are the commander of the corps? However, Ling ignored them. The Dragon Soul Legion is temporarily based on the Dragon City Base rebuilt from the Tucker Army Base and gradually develops.

Ji Ling looked at the recruits who were about the same age as himself, and suddenly felt a heavy sense of responsibility in his heart. Thinking about it, this unit is really miserable, the military uniforms are second-hand, and the guns are only available to the ninety soldiers of the special operations company, and they were brought back from the battlefield of the Scorpion Party last time. The remaining 900 people can only do physical training, and there is no way to be too poor.

That is, Ling asked Yue Zhen to train the special operations company first, and relied on this sharp knife team to fight a bloody path. These ninety people were selected again from the 1,000 people selected from the more than 10,000 civilians in the town, and their physical fitness, quality, adaptability, etc. were all outstanding. Yue Zhen's training comprehension is very good, and at the same time, Gan Xing and others take turns to teach them skills such as fighting and shooting. That is, Ling intends to make them into a dark thorn, a hidden thorn that kills people without a shadow! Hence the team's name Darkthorn.

Ten groups, each group of nine people, they have a clear division of labor and skillful cooperation, and they may become a trump card in the hands of Ji Ling in the future.

The training lasted for more than three months, and Qin Xuan ran over and told Ji Ling that their savings were almost over, and they had retained everyone's life-saving merits, and there were more than 2,000 points, which were all the assets of everyone in the hurricane squad except Qin Xuan. A thousand-strong army needs more than 10 points a day to eat and drink, and the average monthly cost of soldiers' salaries has reached four or five hundred points, which is indeed about to be exhausted. That is, Ling asked Yue Zhen to discuss, thinking that there was no news in the Divine Domain for the time being, and they could take some actions to solve the difficulty of financial constraints.

"I think it's really necessary to fight, and by the way, let's test the training level of the Dark Thorn!" Yue Zhen was a little eager to try, to be honest, Yue Zhen had been training day and night for the past three months, and he had almost forgotten what blood tasted like. Now that I heard that I was going to take action, I immediately came to my senses.

"I really like these young men, as you said, they are no different from us, flesh and blood, and affection, I have been strict with them and cruel to them in the past few months, but I have regarded them as my own soldiers from the bottom of my heart, brother."

"Brother Yue, I didn't expect you to have such an idea, it seems that you completely agreed with my original idea!"

"That's right, it seems that the maximum return is indeed a very small price!"

Ling thought for a moment and said, "The rest of the troops have only been training their physical fitness, and they have never had any firearms to use for training. We need to hurry up and arrange our actions, that is, to train the Dark Thorn and replenish the equipment, even if it is not standard equipment!"

"I agree, I'll arrange for the assassins to go out to gather intelligence and find targets! They are all locals and are familiar with the situation here, and we used to only be able to get goals through system tasks, but now with them, we are less dependent on the system. ”

That is, Ling and Yue Zhen discussed some details and separated, he still had an important matter to do, this matter was related to the safety of Dragon City and the survival of the Dragon Soul Legion. In the Ninth War Zone, the original thirty or so large military bases and forces were uprooted by the Divine Domain within a few days, and now the Divine Domain is the dominant one. That is, Ling wants to form an intelligence network with players as a team to collect relevant information about the Divine Domain. However, it is a pity that Ji Ling has never been able to find a suitable candidate, and the aborigines lack the ability to communicate with the player in this regard, so they are not competent. At present, it seems that this work can only be carried out after players join Dragon City.

The dark thorn came back a day later, and the news he got surprised Ji Ling and the others. It turned out that there were hundreds of small forces and bandit dens entrenched in the vicinity of their dozen towns and the surrounding areas of Dragon City. Several of them were formed by the remnants of the Scorpion after the destruction of the Scorpion Party, and according to the Assassins, the largest of these forces numbered one or two hundred personnel, armed with pickup trucks, machine guns, rocket artillery, and a few armored vehicles. The small ones are also bandit teams of dozens of people, and they often visit the surrounding towns and bring a lot of losses to the civilian population. When they went out to find their targets, the managers of the towns hoped that Dragon City would send troops to wipe them out one by one, and they were even willing to provide some financial support as a reward.

That is, Ling and Yue Zhen believed that these forces were just right for the secret assassination special operations company to use as a test of actual combat. So the plans began to be arranged, and the assassin will play the leading role!

At this time, Ling suddenly remembered the scene of fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields during the founding of the Longteng Republic, and at this moment, his mind was full of meritorious points, alas...... If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, now you are about to tighten your belt and fight.
