"Joining the regular army, this is impossible, family master, you are the head of my Xia family, a martial cultivation powerhouse of the sixth level of the middle level of qi refining, how can you join the regular army?" the Great Elder said urgently.

"There's no way around it, after all, I'm still a student of the County Academy, and this is the order of our dean Shen Danfeng!" Xia Fan said helplessly.

"The Dean's orders?" the two elders wondered.

"Exactly!"

The two elders were silent, they didn't know that the dean of the Dao Dao Academy would order Xia Fan to enter the regular army, which was not in line with the routine of Qi Refining Martial Cultivators, since ancient times, Qi Refining Martial Cultivators did not participate in the regular army, and in the regular army, they could not exert their true strength.

But the facts told them that everything Xia Fan said was true, because the animal skin scroll in Xia Fan's hand was the appointment of Xia Fan to join the regular army, and when they saw the order in front of them, they had to believe all this.

However, although the Xia clan is one of the six middle-level families in Yantou County, and now it is even more advanced to the middle-level five-rank family, but in the face of the dean of the county academy, the two elders know that their Xia clan has no ability to resist at all.

"A thousand clansmen can't do it, our Xia clan can't afford this price!" said the second elder, he was the former head of the family, and he naturally knew all the situations in the Lu Dao family, if it was really handed over to Xia Fan and a thousand clansmen, then what was waiting for the Xia family would be the collapse.

"Well, two elders, I think you misunderstood, I just want a thousand people, not necessarily a thousand people from the Xia clan!" Xia Fan smiled.

"Oh, only a thousand?"

"You don't necessarily need my Xia clan's clansmen?"

The two elders breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Shen Danfeng's order was not something they could resist, if the dean really wanted them to send a thousand clansmen into the regular army, they would have no way to resist, they could only follow it.

"Yes, but what I need is for everyone to join voluntarily, whether it is a member of my Xia clan or a servant," Xia Fan said.

"Okay, no problem, I'll let you know!" the second elder nodded.

Looking at the figures of the two elders leaving, Xia Fan couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face.

·····

In the afternoon, in the central square of Xiajiabao, tens of thousands of people gathered here, including the clansmen of the Xia clan and the servants of the servant clan, but there is one thing, these people are very young, and at the same time, they are also very fanatical.

These young people are all loyal fans of Xia Fan, unlike those in charge of Xiajiabao, these young people do not have much power struggle, they are very simple, infected by the miracles created by Xia Fan's many wars, and they are extremely convinced of Xia Fan.

"So many people?" When Xia Fan came to the square, he couldn't help but be startled by the scene in front of him, it could be said that there was a sea of people in front of him, which made Xia Fan stunned: "Are they all volunteering to join the regular army?"

"No, the head of the family, these people are all admiring the prestige of the head of the family, and when they heard that the head of the family was summoning people, they gathered in the square, waiting for the selection of the head of the family!" explained to Xia Fan the head of personnel.

Although there are tens of thousands of people who are willing to follow him, Xia Fan is only ready to choose a thousand people to follow and enter the regular army, which is a quota given to him by Shen Danfeng.

Therefore, Xia Fan was ready to select a thousand people among the ten thousand, and the admission method was also very simple, when Xia Fan announced the danger of the regular army, the normal psychology of fear of death suddenly reduced the number of people in the square by more than half.

Because among the young people in the square, there are still many Qi Refining Martial Cultivators, so Xia Fan has added another restriction, middle-level Martial Cultivators are not taken, that is to say, Xia Fan only takes low-level Martial Monks and mortals who cannot practice Qi Refining Martial Dao.

This made the steward who followed him curious, how could there be a high cultivation not to choose, but only a low cultivation, but Xia Fan would not tell him the reason.

After that, Xia Fan directly selected his subordinates in accordance with the way the regular army recruited recruits, and the thousand people Xia Fan wanted to lead were originally going to join the regular army, and it was the most appropriate way to recruit recruits according to the methods of the regular army.

Soon, the personnel had been selected, and among the thousands of people, one hundred were members of the Xia clan, and the remaining nine hundred were all servants.

Among the hundred Xia clansmen, there is Xia Fan's Fa Xiao, who is also his cousin Xia Xiong, Xia Xiong has admired Xia Fan since he was a child, and now that Xia Fan is recruiting, he is naturally happy to accept the call.

And these hundred Xia clan members are all like Xia Xiong, all of them are martial arts cultivators with poor qualifications, only a little stronger than Xia Fan, who was known as a waste talent back then, even if these people are members of the Xia clan, they will not be valued by the Xia family's high-level leaders.

Therefore, the top management of the Xia family didn't care about them following Xia Fan into the regular army, so they followed their wishes, after all, they wanted to give Xia Fan, the head of the family, a face.

Everything was ready, and after Xia Fan said goodbye to his mother and Qin'er, he took these thousand subordinates to the west, where Wucheng, the largest military town in Nanyue, was located, and it was also the place where Xia Fan joined the army.

Xia Fan's joining the army this time was actually not the intention of Dean Shen Danfeng, but from Xia Fan's own intention, it was Xia Fan who asked Shen Danfeng for this appointment and went to Dingwu City to participate in the regular army.

Because only by entering the army, absorbing the huge iron-blooded evil qi in the army, refining and absorbing it, Xia Fan can break through the bottleneck of his own cultivation.

Ten days later, Xia Fan came to Dingwu City with thousands of clansmen and servants, and when Xia Fan handed over the animal skin scroll in his hand to the general of the regular army of Dingwu City, the general was very happy.

Because it was Xia Fan's outstanding performance at the beginning, the Nanyue State defeated the powerful attack of the Western Wu State and stopped the unstoppable offensive of the Western Wu State.

Now, Xia Fan, an almost invincible existence in the regular army, has officially joined his army, how can this general not be happy, a powerful attack means meritorious service.

Therefore, the general responded to some of Xia Fan's requests, first of all, regarding Xia Fan's 1,000 subordinates, the general dispersed these thousands of people at Xia Fan's request and placed them in various parts of the army to participate in the front-line battles.

According to Xia Fan, only in this way can a real warrior be cultivated, and this is also Xia Fan's requirement for his thousands of subordinates, to become a real warrior and a veteran of a hundred battles.

Although the all-out war has ended, the local war between South Vietnam and Western Vu has never stopped and cannot be stopped, so it is not difficult for a recruit to become a veteran of a hundred battles, as long as you can survive on the battlefield.

And Xia Fan himself asked to go to the border military camp between South Vietnam and Western Wu, where the battle was fiercest, which was the place where the military path was the strongest, and it was also the most suitable place for Xia Fan to practice the jade refining technique and the battle body.

Time was lost as the battle continued, and Xia Fan and his 1,000 subordinates had been on the front line of Dingwu City for half a year.

In the past six months, Xia Fan's 1,000 subordinates are no strangers to blood because they have all experienced the battle for the family rank, and after continuous iron-blooded wars, they have grown into a real warrior, and each of them has a strong smell of blood and infinite murderous aura.

In the past six months, Xia Fan has been different from his subordinates, he has not fought once, and he has been hidden in the military camp all the time, retreating to absorb the huge iron-blooded evil qi above the military camp, and there is never a sign of a breakthrough.

It wasn't until half a year later that the iron-blooded aura above the barracks suddenly changed rapidly, and a huge aura rose from the barracks and went straight to the sky...

"Boom!"
