On the third day, the Demon Subduing City was sealed and the recruitment of the city guards was over.
On this day, Wei Hongyi came to the courtyard to gather everyone. In the past three days, there was only one more person, so there were a total of 15 people standing here.
Wei Hongyi gave an impassioned speech. A few of the younger people revealed excited expressions, but most of them just nodded perfunctorily.
Wei Hongyi saw that it was about time and finally got down to business. "Everyone, you have all been together for a few days. I said before that you would form a guard and the captain's position would be decided by yourselves.
Does anyone have a choice now? "
At this moment, Ding Zhou stepped forward. Wei Hongyi saw that he was at the ninth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm and secretly nodded. However, he didn't expect Ding Zhou to say, "Corporal Wei, we fully support Elder Liu as our captain."
"That's right, I also support Elder Liu."
"Elder Liu is highly respected, the captain's position should be his."
"That's right, Elder Liu's strength is outstanding and he is kind. I admire him."
Everyone else also supported Leng Shiqi. Only Deng Li stood on the side with an expressionless face.
Wei Hongyi's expression suddenly froze. He wasn't surprised that Leng Shiqi could become the captain, but he was surprised that everyone else supported him so much.
Leng Shiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the past two days, he had spent some time teaching the others how to cultivate their spirit techniques.
He had dozens of spirit techniques at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he had a lot of experience in this area. His prestige in this small courtyard was really high.
Wei Hongyi walked up to Leng Shiqi and said, "I didn't expect Elder Liu to be so respected. Since no one has any objections, I officially announce Liu Xingzhi as the captain of the eighth guard!
This is the captain's token. Elder Liu, take it. "
As he spoke, he took out a light silver token and handed it over.
Leng Shiqi took the token with both hands and said, "Thank you, Captain Wei, and everyone else for your support. This old man is ashamed."
Wei Hongyi said, "In the city guard, high positions have always been occupied by the capable. Elder Liu accepted it calmly.
Okay, everyone, follow me to the drill ground. The commander wants to see you all. "
"Senior Commander?!"
"The Grand Commander of the City Guards wants to meet us personally?"
Hearing Wei Hongyi's words, a few people suddenly exclaimed.
Leng Shiqi also figured out the structure of the city guards these days. The highest power of the city guards was the commander Lei Yuanwu, who was in the realm of Gang Spirit Realm. It was said that he was a relative of the royal family.
There were also two vice-commanders, both of whom were experts at the Spirit Aperture Realm.
Every vice commander had five to six decarchs under their command, just like Wei Hongyi, who was a Spirit Pulse Realm cultivator.
Each decarch had seven or eight captains under them, and they were usually Spirit Cultivators at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Each guard had around twenty people.
There were about two thousand city guards in total.
At this time, Wei Hongyi put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "The Grand Commander usually dislikes people making a fuss. You are new here and don't know the rules. When you see the Grand Commander later, don't speak carelessly."
When those people saw that Wei Hongyi was a little displeased, they immediately fell silent.
Then Wei Hongyi took Leng Shiqi and the others to the big drill ground in the City Lord's mansion.
When they arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered here. At a rough glance, there were more than a thousand people. These people were all wearing silver light armor, and they all stood in an orderly manner.
There were obviously a lot of people gathered here, but no one spoke. They could only hear the light footsteps of people coming from all around.
Wei Hongyi once again gestured for everyone to be silent and led them to stand at the side of the Drill Ground.
Leng Shiqi looked around and found that more than seventy percent of these city guards were Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators!
Only a few of them were in the Pure Spirit Realm. These people either had status or talent.
He couldn't help but think of the city guards of Shang Yang City. As the Grand Commander, Zhong Lincai was only at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
There were even some ordinary people in the guards below. They were all city guards. The gap between them was like the difference between clouds and mud.
Not long after, all the city guards arrived.
A man with a square face and a very serious face walked over accompanied by two people.
He was the Grand Commander of the city guards of Demon Suppressing City, Lei Yuanwu!
Wei Hongyi and the other sergeants all half-knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully, "Greetings, Grand Commander!"
"Greetings, Grand Commander!" The others also saluted.
Lei Yuanwu nodded lightly. Only then did everyone stand up. His deep voice sounded, "Today, I will only say one thing. Tomorrow, go out of the city to clear out the demonic beasts."
His words were concise and comprehensive, but they were even more shocking!
Especially those who had just joined the city guards in the past few days. The reason why they joined the city guards at this time was not entirely to protect their country.
Most of them wanted to take the opportunity to make a living, and some wanted to gild a layer of gold.
But they never thought that Lei Yuanwu would let them take the initiative to go out of the city to clear out the demonic beasts!
One had to know that even the periphery of the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range was filled with rank three demonic beasts. What's more, everyone said that there would be a beast tide. At this time, instead of taking the opportunity to build defensive fortifications, they had to take the initiative to enter the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range?
Besides, the Crimson Thunder Army would arrive in a few days. Even if they wanted to take the initiative to attack, they had to wait until the Crimson Thunder Army arrived!
Was the Grand Commander crazy?
However, no one in the drill ground said a word. Obviously, they had been told before.
As for the original city guards, they did not dare to disobey the Grand Commander's orders.
Leng Shiqi was delighted. The purpose of joining the city guards was to use their strength to enter the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range and secretly refine the demonic blood.
Now that Lei Yuanwu had such a plan, it was really what Leng Shiqi wanted. It saved him a lot of effort.
Lei Yuanwu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He then said, "I know you have a lot of doubts. I will only say one thing. I will not let you die!
Vice Commander Qiao will tell you the details. "
The old man in luxurious clothes behind Lei Yuanwu stepped forward and said the specific mission of clearing out the demonic beasts.
Leng Shiqi understood when he heard Vice Commander Qiao's words. The main mission of clearing out the demonic beasts this time was to test the demonic beasts' strength.
First of all, they had to occupy a place within ten miles of the Demon-Suppressing Town as a buffer. At the same time, they had to see if the change in the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range this time would lead to a beast tide.
Moreover, the third-rank demonic beasts would naturally be dealt with by the masters of the Celestial Realm. The ordinary city guards only needed to hunt second-rank demonic beasts.
In addition, the materials obtained from killing the demonic beasts would belong to them. The city guards would even have additional rewards!
At this time, everyone's hearts were at ease. Leng Shiqi had a different idea in his heart.
