Chapter 6: StarSource Legion
StarSource City is a medium-sized city in the hell plane, located in the south-central part of the Red Spirit Continent, with the Irava Mountains to the north, the Misty Swamp to the west, and a reckless wasteland to the southeast.
Xingyuan City is also the only city occupied by the Terrans in the Hell Plane, and billions of Terrans live in the belly of this giant city, developing cultivation and multiplying.
The position of the city lord of Xingyuan City is jointly held by the two remaining true god powerhouses of the human race. They are Catherine, the "God of Hope", and Youngor, the "God of Wind".
The misty swamp in the west of Xingyuan City was shrouded in white clouds all year round, and this thick mist was poisonous to ordinary people, but it could not help the strong people above the Holy Realm cultivation. Beneath the white mist was bubbling green rotten water, emitting an unspeakable stench.
A cyan light and shadow flew from far and near, and the air currents blew away the poisonous mist. When you get closer, you can clearly see that this is a group of nearly 100 soldiers flying in the air. The soldiers were dressed in cyan armor, and most of them were demigods, but there were also a small number of lower-rank god powerhouses.
Among the two lords of Starsource City, Catherine, the god of hope, is responsible for the management of the city, the registration of the population, the collection of taxes, the exchange of trade and the maintenance of law and order, and the wind god Youngor, who is responsible for defending against foreign enemies, he leads the armed forces of Starsource City, a god army composed of strong people above the demigod level, and the "Star Source Legion" named after the city.
The laws of the plane formulated by the Lord of Darkness prohibit private fighting in the city, creating a pure land for this chaotic and strong hell plane. However, there is one circumstance that is not subject to this law, and that is war. Wars between two races are not subject to this restriction. The purpose of establishing the Star Source Legion was to defend against the attacks of the alien race.
In order to ensure the integrity of the army. The wind god Youngor once stipulated that all the human races who settled in Starsource City were settled. As long as you reach the level of demigod or above, you must join the Star Source Legion to serve for ten years.
At this moment, the group of soldiers flying over the misty swamp was obviously affiliated with the Star Source Legion. Their armor is depicted with patterns, and a special mark is etched into the seat on their left chest, which looks like a whirlwind.
A blue-armored soldier suddenly shook his body, burst out with vigor, and flew forward at an accelerated speed, and said to their leader, a man in golden armor, "Lord Dick, we have been patrolling for four hours, and now it is time for the shift. ”
The man raised his hand. The golden mask was lifted, revealing a young face, a few strands of brown hair floating across his forehead. He turned around and smiled faintly, "Okay, let's go back to the city." ”
Immediately, all the blue-armored soldiers turned around and flew towards where they had come.
Dick's eyes were misty, and he remembered what had happened in the past few days, a month ago. He and Demihera rushed to Starsource City, and after paying the entrance fee, the soldiers of the StarSource Legion who defended the city let them into the city.
The city of hell is really unimaginably large, a kilometer wide avenue. Hundred-storey towers, majestic castles, towers that almost pierce the sky. Everything dazzled Dick's eyes.
At the same time, it is also the commercial center of the entire human race, and the streets are lined with all kinds of shops. The items for sale are even more bizarre and have everything you need. There are sharp weapons. There are sturdy armor, rare materials, alien slaves, powerful magic scrolls, and specialties from heaven and hell......
Here, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy, and Dick lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of money. At the moment, Dick and Dimihera split up and went on a shopping spree with the Divine Stone from the Temple of War.
Dick bought a mansion in Starsource City, dozens of alien slaves, nearly a hundred bookshelves, and a large collection of books almost equivalent to a library. Dimichra bought countless magical materials, countless powerful magic scrolls, and dozens of auxiliary artifacts.
Later, the two lived in a mansion bought by Dick, and dozens of foreign slaves served them very comfortably. However, this comfortable life of an old lady lasted only a week before it was interrupted.
Dick's cultivation reached the level of demigod, and the cultivation of Demihera, who had a contractual relationship with him, was also promoted.
The wind god Youngor once stipulated that all the human races who settled in Xingyuan City, as long as they cultivated to reach the demigod level or above, they must join the Xingyuan Legion to serve for ten years. Therefore, on the second day of Dick's breakthrough, an officer from the Star Source Legion visited them and announced that Dick had been recruited into the army.
Dick couldn't disobey the orders of the true god even though he was reluctant in his heart, so he had to follow the officer to the military camp in the northwest corner of Xingyuan City.
"Dick, really? My name is Alpha, and I'm a squad leader of the StarSource Legion. On the way to the barracks, the talkative officer did not forget to talk to Dick.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Alpha. Dick said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Alpha was a handsome young man with bright eyes, a straight nose, slender eyebrows, and snow-white teeth, but the most attractive thing about him was the fiery red hair. He wore the standard armor of the StarSource Legion, but unlike the soldiers Dick had seen at the gates, his armor was golden.
"Don't just put on a straight face and laugh," Alpha himself laughed first, and then as if he had thought of something, he suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, you have such a beautiful woman waiting for you at home, of course you won't be happy to want you to join the army, am I right?"
Dick couldn't help but laugh, he had a crush on the Captain Alpha.
Alpha said to himself: "But you don't have to complain, there are many advantages to joining the army, even if you are an ordinary soldier, you can receive a military salary of fifty divine stones every month in peacetime, and the military salary will be doubled during war." With your demigod strength, you won't find a better job in the city. ”
"It's only fifty divine stones, so little?" Dick regretted as soon as he spoke, as Captain Alpha looked at him with indescribable eyes. Dick coughed dryly a few times and said, "I'm sorry, I just came to the hell plane, and I don't know much about this, what's wrong?"
Captain Alpha showed a sudden expression at this time, and then said, "You have to remember, don't say such things in front of others, fifty divine stones are already a lot of wealth for the Holy Realm." ”
Dick's chick nodded his head again and again, his eyes rolled, and he turned the topic elsewhere: "Your Excellency Alpha, may I ask how many members of the Star Source Legion there are, what is the structure, how are the ranks divided, and how does Lord Sharpor, the wind god, manage the legion?"
Alpha frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "The number of the Star Source Legion is no less than 10 million. Don't be surprised, this is a necessary number, our human race is weak, and Xingyuan City is surrounded by strong clans, and there must be a strong enough legion to be able to ensure safety, and not only strong races, such as goblins and gnomes, who have never even occupied a city, are also coveting our city. Therefore, a legion of tens of millions of men is necessary, and the army will be expanded by four to five times in wartime. ”
Dick nodded, Alpha understood, and continued: "Compared to the troops of the mortal plane, the establishment of the Star Source Legion composed of demigods and god powerhouses is much simpler, and the military ranks are only divided into five levels:
Ordinary soldiers generally wear cyan armor and are usually composed of demigod powerhouses;
Like me, wearing a golden armor, is the captain of the squad, commanding a hundred people, usually served by the lower god powerhouse;
My superior is the squadron leader, who commands 10,000 people, and is held by a strong man above the middle god, wearing a red armor;
Then there is the captain of the black armor, who commands millions, and is served by the superior god.
Above the captain, he is naturally Lord Fengshen, the president of the army. ”
As he spoke, Dick and Alpha had already flown over the barracks in the northwest corner of Starsource City. A wall separates the military camp from the city, and when you look down from the sky, you can see endless white camp tents, a huge school field, towering arrow towers, and a fortified castle.
"For new recruits, there will be a test of strength to determine their rank," Alpha patted Dick on the shoulder, "Good luck, Lord Dick." ”
"My lord, my lord, Lord Dick!" a series of calls pulled Dick's consciousness from his memories back to reality, and he remembered that he was leading his troops to patrol the misty swamp.
"What's the matter?" Dick asked calmly. (To be continued......)
