Ouyang Shengwu only gave Xiang Chen the qualification to expand his recruitment to 8,000 men. The outside group most likely wanted to test Xiang Chen's military training ability.
This is a military order, and Xiang Chen cannot refuse it. Xiang Chen clasped his fists and said, "I respect the order of Lord Shangshu, but there is one thing I need to ask. With the expanded recruitment qualifications of 8,000 people, am I going to recruit troops myself?"
Ouyang Shengwu looked at him with a smile but not a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, you can recruit soldiers on your own, and arrange for your Li clan disciples or cronies. It doesn't matter, but the conditions must meet the requirements."
"Because we are a regular force of the Eternal Heavenly Palace, the soldiers recruited must have a minimum cultivation level of the late stage of the Heavenly Realm or above in order to cooperate with the army's battle formations to exert powerful power."
Xiang Chen nodded, it would be easier to arrange.
"There are restrictions on the training methods and formation explanations of the Eternal Battle Formation. They are not allowed to be taught to outsiders. They can only be taught to designated officers and soldiers in the army."
"The requirements for teaching are divided into level requirements for brigade commander, captain of thousands, centurion, and squad leader."
"Since the organization I gave you belongs to the strengthened brigade, with a number of tens of thousands, the version of the Eternal Battle Formation I gave you belongs to the complete level."
"If you want to teach the following troops, you must strictly implement separate teaching according to the level, and set up memory restrictions. If there is any external teaching, you need to take responsibility!"
Ouyang Shengwu had an extra memory information jade slip in his hand and handed it to Xiang Chen, which contained a memory restriction.
Xiang Chen took it and put it between his eyebrows, and the memory information in it turned into spiritual energy and poured directly into his mind.
This memory information contains restrictions. If Xiang Chen engages in any external behavior, the memory will be automatically erased and disappear.
Xiang Chen's face did not show the joy of gaining the most powerful battle formation in the ancient world. Obtaining such an inheritance can only be regarded as working for others, and cannot be passed down to his own people.
For example, it is public property. It can be used for official purposes. You can use it as much as you want within the budget. But if you want to turn it into private property, it is not allowed. If you catch it, it can be copied.
After learning about the Eternal Battle Formation, Xiang Chen couldn't help but be amazed.
After completing the cultivation of this Eternal Battle Formation, five thousand soldiers above the peak realm of heavenly beings can assemble a powerful battle formation capable of killing the Emperor of Heaven!
If such a battle formation were to attack the prehistoric world, it would be a crushing attack by reducing the dimension!
"The regiment assigned to you is waiting for you at the No. 3 campus outside the military headquarters. You can go and receive it." Ouyang Shengwu also issued an eviction order.
Xiang Chen performed a military salute and then retreated.
"Sir, those are the remnants of the Sharp Knife Brigade under the Ace Division. Although they suffered defeats before, they are still elite. Is it appropriate to hand them over to Mr. Li?"
Chief of Staff Fang Daren asked next to Ouyang Shengwu.
Ouyang Shengwu continued to check the frontline battle reports: "After such a humiliating defeat, you are no longer an elite!"
"These guys are unruly and unruly. We just want to see if Li Wangchen can subdue these guys."
"If you can't even surrender these guys, it means that this guy is too embarrassed to hold a big military position. It would be too reluctant to give him the command of a reinforced brigade."
"This can be considered a test for him."
Chief of Staff Fang suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "That's it, but there are some good shows to watch."
In the military campus.
A force of about 1,800 people was assembled here.
The armor on most of their bodies was covered with traces of slashes from swords, and many of them still had wounds left on their bodies. However, they all had strong blood evil aura and murderous intent. At first glance, they looked like people who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
They are the sharp knife brigade under an ace division of the military. Because they suffered a huge defeat, the entire sharp knife strengthened brigade had so many people killed in battle, so the remnants of each regiment were first integrated into one regiment.
There are two regimental commanders among them, but at this moment they have been demoted to first-class centurions, corresponding to the level of battalion commanders.
"Old Qin, what kind of brigade commander do you think the military headquarters will send us? Can we still retain the unit designation of the Blood Wolf Blade Brigade?"
The man with a scar over his left eye frowned and asked the lean man next to him.
The man with the scar, Xie Shunzong, the former commander of the 1st Regiment of the Sharp Knife Brigade, has now been demoted to a first-class centurion. A first-class centurion can command three hundred troops!
The lean man's name is Qin Shaoxun, the former commander of the third regiment of the Blood Wolf Blade Brigade, now demoted to a first-class centurion.
Qin Shaoxun said solemnly: "Although we suffered a huge defeat and all the brigade commanders died in the battle, we are an elite force after all. The military department will not send any waste here. We are also veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Be our brigade leader."
"I hope so." Xie Shunzong sighed: "This battle was too embarrassing for us. We are the only ones left in the entire brigade out of about 10,000 brothers——"
Both of them looked a bit sad. Only two of the eight thousand captains died in the battle, and even the brigade commander died in the battle.
"Look, someone is coming!" Someone exclaimed at this time.
Everyone looked around and saw a young man wearing a colonel's military armor approaching.
After Xiang Chen became one of the top ten Era Heavenly Kings in the Tongtian Book, he just came to the military department and his military rank was promoted by Ouyang Shengwu.
After Xiang Chen arrived, he looked at everyone. More than a thousand pairs of doubtful and scrutinizing eyes fell on him.
"With the seventh level of Heavenly King Realm, can you obtain the rank of colonel with this level of cultivation?"
"So young, who is this person?"
"I have never seen such a young colonel in the military. He must be a well-connected person."
Many heavenly kings and centurions in the crowd were talking secretly and communicating through messages.
Xiang Chen stopped in front of more than a thousand people and looked at them.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Xie Shunzong and Qin Shaoxun's eyes were focused on him. They sensed his aura and looked at his military rank. They had suspicions in their hearts and could not help but frown.
In the army, there are clear levels of hierarchy. There are relatively few people below the peak of the Heavenly King realm who can obtain the rank of colonel. Even many strong men in the early stages of the Emperor cannot reach this rank.
Those who are below the peak of the Heavenly King realm can obtain this military rank, which means that they either have great military exploits, have superior strength, or have connections, and are the children of princes and nobles.
The young man in front of them felt more like the third type, a guanxi household.
Xiang Chen looked at these people and said calmly: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Wangchen. From now on, I will be the commander of your Blood Wolf Blade Brigade. This is my Blood Wolf Order, and the military command."
Letter of appointment!"
He waved his hand and released a token into the air. A scroll of appointment letter was opened, which contained the appointment order and the seal of the military department.
As for the Blood Wolf Order, it belongs to him as the commander of this brigade.
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar below, and more than a thousand people immediately started talking.
"With this level of cultivation, you can be our brigade leader? Are you kidding me?"
"Yes, our former brigade leader is a powerful person at the heaven level among the emperors!"
"This is a person with connections, right? If we are led by a person with connections, is the military going to give up on our qualifications as a sharp knife brigade?"
