Fifteen minutes later, Zhan Chen appeared in front of a tall building. It was said that his future subordinates lived in this tall building. Thinking that he would spend the next ten thousand years here, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Stepping into the tall building, Zhan Chen saw a man sitting at the door. He saw that Zhan Chen was wearing the unique military uniform of a centurion, so he stood up, saluted, and asked: "Sir, what advice do you have here?"
Zhan Chen said: "I am your new centurion. Come up and call us down. Let's get to know each other."
The man seemed to be used to this, and immediately replied fluently: "I will ask them all to come down immediately." Then he activated the desktop uploading spiritual array.
Five minutes later, people came down one after another. Ten minutes later, only thirty-eight people were gathered in front of Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen took a look at them and found that these people's cultivation level was between five stars and seven stars. They were all tall and strong, with unruly faces written all over them. They were obviously ruthless characters. He asked: "What is this?"
All of you?"
One of the people standing opposite asked: "What is your name?"
"My name is Zhan Chen, and I am a new centurion. Today is my first day in office, so I came to see you and get to know each other."
"So that's it. Now that you know each other, can we go back?" After saying that, the man wanted to turn around.
Zhan Chen drank: "Wait a minute, what is your attitude? Are you like the famous vanguard army of Zhanling City?"
The man stopped and turned around and said: "Sir Zhan Chen, stop pretending. Everyone here joins the Pioneer Army not for anything else but to make more money. Everyone knows that the Pioneer Army has a high death rate.
But why are there so many people willing to join? Is it not to lose to the treatment of the Jingwei Army?"
Zhan Chen sneered and said: "I can understand your thinking, but in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. Now that my cultivation is stronger than yours, you have to listen to me and call everyone to my side."
In front of me, otherwise I will treat you as a violation of military law."
"Yes, sir." Those people had to turn around and go back. After a while, they gathered in front of Zhan Chen again, but the number increased, becoming eighty-four people.
Zhan Chen asked again: "Are these all of you?"
One of the soldiers stood up and shouted: "Report to the centurion, I am the messenger of the third company of our fifth battalion, my name is Mo Kai. Our company originally had one hundred people, but fourteen were killed in the last battle."
people."
Zhan Chen asked: "Where are the other two?"
"There were two other people who applied for retreat, so they didn't come out."
"Retreat?" Zhan Chen asked again.
Mo Kai seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and continued: "It's like this, our city guard army has a rule that every hundred years of service can have ten years of retreat and practice time. This time can be accumulated, and the time is based on the outside world's time.
Calculated, it would be multiplied by ten thousand times in this secret realm."
So that's it. Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I understand, but what about the fourteen people our company lost?"
"After a period of time, that is, before the next character, the number of people will be replenished. This kind of thing often happens in our Pioneer Army, and our treatment is naturally higher than that of other armies. In other armies, even the Jingwei Army only pays for every hundred years of service.
We can get five years of retreat time, but we have ten years, and we can also get many pills to assist in cultivation.
It's just that the training conditions of the Jingwei Army are much better than ours." Mo Kai told a lot of useful information at once.
During Mo Kai's report, Zhan Chen listened and observed the others carefully, and found that all these people, both men and women, looked carefree. Overall, only Mo Kai looked more like a regular soldier.
"The treatment is so good." Zhan Chen sighed.
"Yes, otherwise no one would come to the vanguard to work their lives." A thin voice came from the team.
"However, since everyone is here to sacrifice their lives, then I have to be responsible for everyone's lives." Zhan Chen said again.
"Responsible, how strong can you be?" Someone in the crowd asked with a smile.
"My cultivation is in the Eight-Star Earth Star Realm."
"The Eight-Star Earth Star Realm is just average. Our battalion commander and company commander here are also from the Nine-Star Earth Star Realm. How do you protect our safety?" someone else asked.
"Yes, I am not strong enough, so if we want to protect our lives, we must unite as one, but I think everyone's attitude seems to be that they don't care about their own lives." Zhan Chen continued.
"Why doesn't it matter? If you have something to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush?"
"Then please everyone stand still and be alert!" Zhan Chen called.
The people in the team straightened their backs unconsciously.
"Everyone said that they came to the Pioneer Army to get better training conditions. In fact, my purpose of coming is the same as yours, so there is no contradiction or conflict of interest between us. But since the profession we are engaged in is very dangerous, it is even more important for us to unite as a team.
army."
"Unity is nothing, but we still have to stop when we encounter a strong enemy that we cannot defeat." Someone said again.
"Then we have no choice but to accept our fate, but what if we encounter an evenly matched opponent? At that time, it was your negligence that led to the failure and everyone died. Then the reason lies with you. We try our best to do our best and unite as one.
It's not for others, but to give myself an extra chance of survival, so I hope everyone will cooperate with me." Zhan Chen said.
When everyone heard what Zhan Chen said seemed to make sense, they all nodded.
"Okay, I took a look at our schedule. The next mission is already approaching. If we just rely on such a small amount of time to practice in seclusion, we may not make much progress. Why don't we spend some time training on discipline, training on combat, and increasing
Some of your practical experience will also be of certain benefit to your future cultivation."
"Okay, since you are our commander, we will listen to you and leave the training to you." Someone said loudly.
Zhan Chen looked for the reputation and saw that the speaker was a tall and thin man. His cultivation level was relatively low in the team. He was only in the five-star earth star realm, which was probably the lowest, so he asked: "What's your name?"
"
"My surname is Gao Lang, and I want to live longer." Gao Lang said.
Zhan Chen nodded. It was understandable that what he just said was supported by some soldiers with lower cultivation levels.
"Okay, it's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Let's start training right away!" Zhan Chen called.
In the following days, Zhan Chen took them out for training. Even though they were in the secret world, its complexity and severity were no less than those of the outside world. There were countless powerful star beasts living here, which was enough for everyone to experience.
After a whole period of training, everyone's combat strength has been improved, and teamwork has also improved. At the same time, the fourteen
The battle attrition has also been replenished, and Zhan Chen's company can be said to have a completely new look. At this moment, their mission also arrived as scheduled, which was to garrison ten kilometers at a star stone mine located a thousand kilometers away from Zhanling Island.
year time.
They set off early that day, and Zhan Chen didn't need to find the way, because there were veterans in his team who had been stationed there. On the way there, he had been curious, not knowing what the underwater mineral deposits were like.
What does it look like.
One thousand kilometers is not too far for those in the Earth and Star Realm. The total time they spent from departure to arrival at the destination was less than an hour.
When they arrived at their destination, everyone dived into the sea. When they dived to about five thousand meters below the sea surface, Zhan Chen saw rolling undersea mountains below them, and there were contiguous seamounts built on those undersea mountains.
The building complex is quite small in scale.
Zhan Chen asked Mo Kai: "Is this where the star stone mine called Wolong Mountains is taken out?"
Mo Kai nodded and said: "Yes, this mountain range is named Wolong Mountain Range because it is shaped like a dragon and is on the bottom of the sea. Star stones are produced here. It is the fifth largest star stone mine in our Zhanling City. It mainly produces some
Of course, there are also a small number of high-quality top-grade star stones and a small number of top-grade star stones and medium- and low-grade star stones. If converted into top-grade star stones, the annual output exceeds one billion."
"One billion, so much!"
"Fortunately, the output of the largest star stone mine, the Yulin Mine, is equivalent to a hundred times that of this place. In fact, for those star realm powerhouses in Zhanling City, the star stone mine is nothing in their eyes. Compared with this place
, they value some rare weapon refining materials and mineral deposits more. Otherwise, they wouldn’t let just one of our companies garrison here.”
"Well, it is true that the strong ones in the star realm use star crystals, and the star stones can only be used as military pay." Zhan Chen murmured.
"Well, I also hope to go to some large-scale refining material mines." Mo Kai sighed.
"Is there any difference?" Zhan Chen asked casually.
"The difference is huge. If it is a large mine, there will be several companies stationed there, and there will even be strong men from the stellar realm. In this way, the probability of danger will be lower. The danger here is very high. Pirates and sea monsters will visit all the time.
, I hope there won’t be any big problems.”
Zhan Chen asked back: "Mo Kai, if we encounter an enemy that is difficult to contend with, can't we ask for help from the headquarters?"
Mo Kai shook his head and said: "By the time they arrive, it will be too late. The battle between the monks only lasts for a moment. Everything can only be left to fate. However, we have chosen this path ourselves. After this,
For this mission, we can at least rest for decades, practice in the secret realm, and maybe even break through, so it’s worth it.”
"Yes, don't worry, I will do my best to protect your safety."
"Haha, I believe you. You don't know how undisciplined our company was before you arrived. During the last garrison mission, we encountered a group of pirates who came to rob. As a result, the centurion abandoned everyone and ran away. Otherwise,
We wouldn’t have killed fourteen people, and the funny thing is that that person ended up on the death list.”
"I will not be like my predecessor. When the time comes, we will share the blessings and share the hardships." Zhan Chen said firmly.
They began to land on the undersea mountains, and the companies originally stationed in the mining area immediately discovered them and greeted them happily. After a while, Zhan Chen got the garrison token from the opponent's company captain, and they started like this
