Chapter 52: Opening Ceremony
The main peak of the Nine Mountains, the Hanging Hall
After two weeks of harsh fighting, the reserve army exam was finally over. At this time, many people gathered on the main peak of this Kuju Mountain. They are all candidates who passed the Ninth Army Reserve Army Examination this time. There were many surprises in these exams, but they ended safely.
"I didn't expect so many people to pass this exam, and it can be regarded as the exam with the most people passing in the history of the exam!" said an old man with a full beard sitting on the rostrum when he saw the candidates in front of him.
"Yes, this time is really special, and it just so happens that we need these soldiers to replenish our army. Next to the white-haired old man sat a man in a general's uniform, and when he heard the old man's words, he said panderingly, obviously he was very happy that so many candidates could pass this time.
This person in the general's uniform is the Complaining Tianwu of the Fifth Army of the Ninth Heavy Army, and the Complaining Tianwu has a huge scar on his face. It seems to have been injured by some monster's sharp grasp, and an incoherent scar appeared.
After chatting with the white-haired old man for a while, he slowly stood up and walked to the front of the stage, and glanced around the candidates below, and the noisy students slowly quieted down. At this time, where Yan Tianwu's eyes swept toward, that place fell silent. When he glanced around, the tumultuous hall immediately fell silent.
He said in a loud voice to the candidates below: "My name is Yan Tianwu, and I am the general of the Fifth Legion. Hearing the name of Yan Tianwu, the people in the audience were a little excited.
"First of all, I want to congratulate you! From today onwards, you are not only a disciple of my Ninefold Sect, but also a member of the Ninefold Army, one of the three major legions in the Eastern World. You should be proud of it. This is not a collective for selfish gain, and in this collective there have been countless warriors who make us proud. They have paid a lot, even with their own lives, in the operation to defend their homeland. There is a warrior monument tomb in the mountain behind Kuju Mountain, and these cemeteries were established to commemorate these warriors.
All of us here have a dream. It's about getting our family, our friends, out of the fence and showing them the scenery we're supposed to enjoy. We're tired of being locked up in this huge cage like birds and beasts. Realizing this dream is not simple, and it is not something that any of us here can achieve alone. He needs us here... A dream that can only be accomplished by the concerted efforts of all those who desire freedom. There is no such thing as a hero in this collective, and if there is, that hero is called the Ninefold Army. ”
Hearing this, the candidates below became a little excited, and most of them began to clench their hands tightly. Yan Tianwu continued: "It doesn't matter where you come from, what your ancestors are, and what kind of history your family has. Down, here, you're all part of the Ninefold Army. You are all equal individuals. We need to be united, and centuries of experience have taught us that we are facing an incomparably formidable enemy. Let's hide here from the enemies who dare not go out, and we have not been able to confirm until now what the purpose of these enemies is, and where they came from.
This dream is not simple, after joining the Nine Heavy Army, you will have to face a lot, and you will lose a lot. But you have to be convinced that the path you are taking now is the right one. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Tianwu became a little excited, he paused for a moment and continued: "We can't be cowardly like this, we want to take back the freedom we should have. The peace that the Kujuyama region can have today is all brought to you by your predecessors. Again, I emphasize that there is no such thing as a hero in this collective, and if there is, that hero is called the Ninefold Army. It doesn't matter where you come from, who your ancestors are, what your family's history is. Down, here, you're all part of the Ninefold Army. You are all equal individuals.
The fact that you have entered the Nine Layers today means that you have strength beyond your peers, and you must have put in more effort than others in your growth. It doesn't matter if the effort is intentional or not. In the past days, your predecessors have brought us peace with their life's work, and you will accomplish these things, and if you are better, you will accomplish even greater achievements..."
"Don't you think he's talking too much! I don't know when I'm going to talk about it, it's a headache!" said a young man with a wooden sword on his back to the girl next to him.
"Yes, it was good at first, but how could it be said for so long? Some listened impatiently. Isn't it too long since I spoke. The girl said angrily.
"You will undergo a one-year special training on the Kuju, after which you will be assigned to various positions according to your performance during your studies and your wishes. Whatever you want to do, you people have to give it your all. Whether you want to be a scout, a defender, or a special mission force, you must not forget what you are doing.
I'm not a good man, and I'll sound a little incoherent to you. But I believe that what I am trying to say should be understood by you, and you will remember it in your hearts. That's all for today. After speaking, he returned to his position.
"It's finally over, great!" Seeing the young man with the wooden sword on his back obviously very excited to see the resentful Tianwu return to his place. But his excitement didn't last long, and the girl on the side said to the young man with the wooden sword on his back: "Don't be too happy, I don't think it will end so easily." After speaking, he looked at the young man next to him and said.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a few more people to come up to the stage and say some words of welcome and encouragement. But the words of the next people became longer and longer, and the two of them began to break down, especially the young man with the wooden sword on his back.
Take a closer look at this young man with a wooden sword on his back, it turns out to be Yang Yifan. That girl is Li Xiaokui. In this exam, Yang Yifan, Li Xiaokui, and Li Xingwu were lucky to pass the exam.
"Brother Yifan, what do you want to do in the Ninefold Army?" said the girl on the side to the young man with the wooden sword on his back.
"I want to go outside the Divine Wall and fight those enemies!" Yang Yifan said to Xiao Kui without thinking about it.
"Isn't it dangerous to go outside the Divine Wall? I heard that the people who go out to fight have a lot of casualties every year, Brother Yifan, are you sure?" Xiao Kui said worriedly.
"I'm sure! Then what do you and Li Xingwu want to do? Yang Yifan asked.
"We didn't think about it. But will not go outside. Because the outside world is so weird. I think it's a senseless casualty to go blindly to fight now. Xiao Kui thought for a while and said to Yang Yifan.
