364, new official takes office, three thousand tiger wing army
In Tongguan City, Ma Qianli and others looked at each other, and then all looked at Ge Changlong.
Ma Qianli really wanted to ask, City Lord, are you being held hostage?
If so, just blink.
Unfortunately, Ge Changlong was not kidnapped.
He looked at Ma Qianli and others with a serious expression.
"Why, you didn't listen to what I said?"
Ge Changlong snorted coldly.
"No, it's just this——"
Ma Qianli hesitated.
Ge Zhenfeng has just been solved, isn't it the time for the city lord to show off his power?
Why did he suddenly give up the position of City Lord to Deputy City Lord Wu?
Although Deputy City Lord Wu is indeed amazing, even Hou Baidong was trapped by him.
But the deputy city lord is the deputy city lord after all...
"Nothing is just!"
Ge Changlong said coldly, "I will give you a chance to choose now. If you still recognize me as the city lord, then obey my orders. If you don't, you can leave Tongguan City now, as long as Tongguan City is not leaked.
My secret, I can also let you leave alive!"
Everyone looked at each other.
They can be regarded as Ge Changlong's direct descendants. They have been following Ge Changlong since he took over the position of Lord of Tongguan City.
Of course they would listen to what Ge Changlong said. Thinking about it, they even killed the sixth elder of the Ge family. If they were not Ge Changlong's die-hard loyalists, they would not be able to do this.
But the person they were following was Ge Changlong, and now Ge Changlong suddenly asked them to be loyal to another person, even if that person was the deputy city lord of Tongguan City, that wouldn't work.
"City Lord——"
Ma Qianli still wants to speak.
"From now on, there is only one city lord of Tongguan City, and that is my second brother Wu Zongquan. You can call me deputy city lord!"
Ge Changlong said coldly.
Ge Changlong’s words were decisive and resounding.
Ma Qianli and others immediately swallowed back the words that came to their lips.
Ge Changlong has already spoken to this extent, what else can they say?
They turned to look at Zhou Shu, who had been holding hands and saying nothing.
After a long time, everyone raised their hands and said, "General, I will pay my respects to the city lord!"
Zhou Shu's expression was calm and he nodded slightly.
From his expression, you can't see the change in his mood. What may seem like a dramatic change to others seems to be nothing to mention to him.
"Generals, I will ask for your help in the future."
Zhou Shu spoke slowly.
Of course he could see that Ma Qianli and others did not have much trust in him.
This is normal. After all, the person they were originally loyal to was Ge Changlong, and they were suddenly asked to be loyal to another person. Normal people would not be able to accept it immediately.
But Zhou Shu doesn’t care.
It doesn't matter whether they sincerely recognize themselves as the city lord.
As long as they can maintain their apparent respect, that will be fine.
What Zhou Shu wants in his heart is their apparent cooperation.
As long as there is enough time, Zhou Shu will naturally be able to truly master Tongguan City.
"You're welcome, City Lord. This is our duty."
Ma Qianli and others said quickly.
Ge Changlong laughed, patted Zhou Shu on the shoulder, and said, "Second brother, Ma Qianli and these people are rough people with straightforward tempers, but they are all good brothers, you can trust them."
"If any of them dare not to regard you as the city lord, I will never forgive them!"
Ge Changlong glanced at Ma Qianli and others threateningly.
Ma Qianli and others were a little helpless. They couldn't figure out what Ge Changlong was doing.
But under the current situation, they have no other choice but to follow Ge Changlong's orders.
"You all should listen to me. From now on, there will only be one city lord in Tongguan City. If someone calls you by the wrong name again, don't blame me for being unkind!"
Ge Changlong shouted.
"Brother, General Ma and the others just couldn't turn around for a while. It's not disrespectful to you or me."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the city lord, you or me, brothers..."
"Alas! Second brother, your talents and abilities are a hundred times better than mine!"
Ge Changlong said, "You are the best choice to be the city lord of Tongguan City. You will definitely bring Tongguan City to glory."
Ma Qianli and others were confused when they heard these things.
An unnatural embarrassment also flashed across Zhou Shu's face. Ge Changlong's embarrassing boast really made people feel helpless.
He changed the topic and said, "Since you believe me, brother, then I will reluctantly give it a try!"
"I am the Lord of Tongguan City!"
"Generals! Tongguan City is now facing a plague of spiritual insects. The spiritual insects outside the city are like a sword hanging above our heads and may fall at any time."
Zhou Shu said sternly, "So, although Ge Zhenfeng's matter has been solved for the time being, it's not time for us to sit back and relax."
"Only when the plague of spiritual insects is completely eliminated can we relax."
"City Lord, do you have any good strategy to deal with this spiritual insect?"
General Chen said loudly.
All the generals looked at Zhou Shu, their eyes full of consideration.
Although they were forced to accept the fact that Zhou Shu became the lord of Tongguan City due to Ge Changlong's order, it did not mean that they would immediately believe Zhou Shu.
In the past, Wu Zongquan was just an inconspicuous squad leader in Tongguan City. Later, he showed his skill in forging soldiers and was promoted to deputy city lord by Ge Changlong.
That's fine, after all, he is just a deputy city lord, and he can indeed forge some magic weapons for Tongguan City.
But the city lord and the deputy city lord are completely different.
Just being able to forge magic weapons may not necessarily make you a good city leader.
They also wanted to see Zhou Shu's abilities to determine whether Zhou Shu was a city lord worthy of their assistance!
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "You should have seen all the tiger-wing knives I forged before, and you already own some of them."
"Let's put it this way, the tiger-wing knife has great lethality against spirit insects. If the Tongguan City army can have a tiger-wing knife in its hands, it will not be enough to fight against ten times the number of spirit insects like us.
”
"I am confident that within three years, all the soldiers in Tongguan City will have at least one tiger-wing sword!"
"Everyone has a tiger-wing knife?"
Surprise flashed across the faces of Ma Qianli and others.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Tongguan City. If each person has a tiger-wing sword, he needs hundreds of thousands of tiger-wing swords.
Tongguan City currently has only three weapon-casting divisions in total.
Three weapon-making divisions cast hundreds of thousands of tiger-wing knives in three years. Isn’t this a joke?
Even if Ma Qianli and others knew that Zhou Shu had created quite a miracle, they still felt that he was bragging now.
Zhou Shu did not explain, but continued, "You may not believe it now, but it doesn't matter, we will wait and see."
"Now, I want to select 3,000 people from all the soldiers in Tongguan City to form a team!"
"I will tailor-make magic weapons for these three thousand people and train them into an invincible army!"
"They are the ultimate force that protects our Tongguan City. I hope that these three thousand people will one day achieve the realm of Heavenly Lord!"
As soon as Zhou Shu said these words, the eyes of all the generals, including Ma Qianli, flashed with disdain.
Sure enough, Deputy City Lord Wu is only suitable for casting soldiers.
He doesn’t understand the military at all.
Three Thousand Heavenly Lord Realm, does he know what that concept is?
Not to mention the small Tongguan City, it is still uncertain whether the Ge family, one of the largest families in the world, can gather 3,000 Tianzun realms. Nine times out of ten, it will not be possible. How can Tongguan City like them possess the Three Thousand Heavenly Venerable Realm?
If Tongguan City can really cultivate an army composed of three thousand Tianzun realms, then they will definitely be an invincible army.
Is that possible?
All the powerful Tianzuns in Tongguan City can be counted on one hand.
Of course, Zhou Shu could clearly see the disbelief on their faces.
But he didn't bother to explain, "I will personally select these three thousand people."
"Generals, all you need to do is cooperate."
Ma Qianli and others were still talking, but Ge Changlong's eyes were already directed towards him coldly.
They immediately swallowed their words.
Three thousand people, let’s just say three thousand people. This new city lord has three fires in office, so let him burn one.
Anyway, just give him 3,000 people, let’s see what tricks he can do!
"We will fully cooperate."
Under Ge Changlong's sharp gaze, Ma Qianli and others spoke.
Zhou Shu winked at Zhan, and Zhan understood.
It is unrealistic to expect the army in Tongguan City to return home immediately.
Select three thousand people, gradually assimilate their hearts, turn them into one's own, and lead with one's point. In the end, the entire Tongguan City cannot escape.
Zhan had used this method many times before when he was fighting in Ancient Heaven.
……
"Why me? I don't want to go!"
A man dressed as a soldier shook his head repeatedly and looked at Zhan reluctantly, "I am doing well where I am now. I don't want to go to the place you mentioned."
"This is the personal order of the city lord to select three thousand elites to form the Great Steel Wall to protect our Tongguan City. Do you dare to disobey?"
Zhan said coldly.
"Of course I dare not disobey the Lord of the City's orders, but I was injured in the previous battle and have not recovered yet, and I am not considered an elite at all."
The soldier shook his head firmly.
How does he know what he was chosen to do?
He didn't know anything about the new city lord. He only knew that he was once a squad leader in the army of Tongguan City, and later became the deputy city lord.
Now he has reached the sky in one step and has become the city lord.
He didn't know how all this happened.
Zhou Shu is proficient in the art of forging weapons, and may be the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion. Only the top brass of Tongguan City know about this matter, and these lower-level soldiers have no understanding of it at all.
They only knew that if they agreed to fight, they would be betraying their former colleagues.
And they don’t know what the new city lord wants to do when he elects them.
Three thousand elites, maybe not three thousand cannon fodder.
How could these veterans of the military give in so easily!
Even under the orders of Arima Qianli and others, these soldiers still resisted and resisted.
This is the thirty-second time I have been rejected.
"Very good!"
Zhan Leng snorted, "Listen, the city lord selects three thousand elites with the purpose of forming the strongest army in the world. As long as you are selected, the city lord will personally forge magic weapons for you. You will become the most well-equipped in Tongguan City.
army!"
"General, I know that the Lord of the City is a weapon maker, but there are three thousand of us here, and the Lord of the City is just one person. He personally forged the magic weapon for us. How long will it take for us to get it?"
The soldier said.
He has seen too many cakes drawn by big people, and if he doesn't get any benefits, it's not a benefit at all.
Think about it, the tiger-wing knives distributed by the previous city lord were not for him.
Now tell him that the new city lord is willing to forge a magic weapon for him, how can he believe it?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Since you don't want to, I won't force you."
Zhan Leng hummed, "Tongguan City has hundreds of thousands of troops. Although it is not easy to select three thousand people, this person is not the only one.
Zhan's eyes fell on another soldier.
"You have heard what I just said. I ask you, are you willing to join?"
Zhan said in a deep voice.
The soldier's expression looked a little dull, and he didn't react for a while.
"You - you are asking me?"
The man stammered.
"Yes, I'm just asking you!"
Zhan said.
"But I'm not an elite."
The soldier said weakly.
Who kind of elite is he? Among the army in Tongguan City, he is almost the weakest being, not even in the Dao realm.
"Whether you are an elite or not is up to you."
Zhan's eyes swept over the faces of other soldiers, and many soldiers had disdain on their faces.
Zhan naturally knew that the strength of the soldier he chose was not outstanding among the army in Tongguan City, and could even be considered mediocre.
But when he determines whether a soldier is an elite, he does not simply look at his cultivation.
Even if the opponent's cultivation level is not high, wouldn't he be able to improve the opponent's cultivation level if it were in his hands?
What he wants to choose is the kind of person who can truly submit to them, not the elite who everyone understands.
As for the lack of cultivation, then practice.
If they can't improve in cultivation, then arm them to the teeth with magic weapons.
In short, with Zhou Shu's support, Zhan had countless ways to quickly turn the 3,000 people he selected into a powerful army.
The soldiers in Tongguan City watched each of their comrades being selected by the war. Many of them breathed a sigh of relief, and some even suppressed a bad smile.
Are these the selected elite?
This is obviously the person who has the most flattering hips in the army.
The new city lord knows that he is not good at leading troops, so he resorts to such a move?
He selected the soldiers with the slimmest hips in the army, so even if he couldn't train an elite force, then others wouldn't be able to say anything.
As for the relief, it was because they didn't know what Zhou Shu was going to do.
Rather than facing an unknown future, they want to stay where they are.
On the contrary, those who were selected looked downcast, as if they didn't know what they could do.
Zhan's eyes swept over the selected soldiers.
"From now on, I will be your instructor."
Zhan shouted in a deep voice, "Raise your heads! From now on, you are the Tiger Wings under the command of the city lord!"
"Your duty is to make Tongguan City even more powerful!"
"I know you are not confident, and I also know that many people are watching your jokes. If the selected elites have no fighting ability at all, wouldn't they laugh at others' teeth?"
Zhan's eyes were sharp and he shouted coldly, "I want to tell you, you are the elite!"
"Anyone can look down on you, but you can't look down on yourselves!"
Countless people in the army behind these three thousand people sneered. Are these people considered elite?
In the distance, Zhou Shu, Ge Changlong, Ma Qianli and others stood on the top of the city and saw this scene happening.
Ge Changlong's face was very ugly. These soldiers, both in disguise and in disguise, did not take his words to heart at all. If they made Zhou Shu look bad, that would be a slap in his face!
I have said it myself, giving up the position of city lord to my second brother!
As a result, these people were so perfunctory about the second brother's orders!
"Ma Qianli, this is your subordinate? Very good!"
Ge Changlong gritted his teeth and said.
Ma Qianli and others all had wry smiles on their faces. They had given orders to cooperate, but the soldiers below could not trust the new city lord. Can you blame them?
If people don’t want to be selected into the Tiger Wing Army, we can’t force them to agree.,
If the cow doesn't drink water, can it still be forced to have its head pressed?
"You will finally be convicted!"
Ma Qianli and others knew that excuses were useless, so they simply admitted their mistakes.
Although they don't think they have done anything wrong.
Wu Zongquan, Lord Wu, wanted to form a tiger-winged army, which was simply out of his imagination. Tongguan City’s military structure was already very complete. If he had to go out of his way to create a tiger-winged army, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?
He is just a weapon maker, not good at leading an army at all.
"Brother, don't blame them."
Zhou Shu stopped Ge Changlong with a smile and said, "Brother, you know who I am, but these people below don't."
"Brother, you were able to gain their trust back then because you fought countless times in exchange for it. After I became the city lord, I haven't done anything yet. It's normal for them not to trust me."
The smile on Zhou Shu's face was very gentle, and he continued, "I always have to do something to make people trust me."
"Tiger Wing Army, consider it a meeting gift from me to Tongguan City."
"Brother, don't worry. It won't take long for Tiger Wing Army to impress everyone."
"I believe you!"
Ge Changlong glared at Ma Qianli and others fiercely, then looked at Zhou Shu and said with a smile, "How about, second brother, I will be the leader of this Tiger Wing Army?"
Ge Changlong gave up the position of city lord to Zhou Shu. Naturally, he couldn't watch Zhou Shu lose face. He wanted to support Zhou Shu.
"No need, brother, before you were promoted, you were still the deputy city lord of Tongguan City. You still have arduous tasks to undertake."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I already have a clue about the Tiger Wing Army's training. Brother, just wait and see the results."
After saying that, Zhou Shu made a gesture to Zhan below the city, and then Zhan took the three thousand selected soldiers and strode towards the original backyard of Wu Mansion.
There, Jin Kui is still using the assembly line casting method to continuously forge tiger-wing knives.
There, Jin Kui, the third deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, was studying the Tiger Wing Knife like a conscientious laborer.
It was also the place where Zhou Shu used to forge soldiers.
