Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 482 Awakened Ones Want to Join Too?
"Everyone! Attention!!!"
Hu Tao roared loudly at the formation:
"Listen up, everyone. Although we just lost a base, that is no reason for us to be dispirited. Buck up! Final victory will be ours!!!"
With that, Hu Tao pointed at Li Chenzhou:
"This man is the instructor I've brought for you. From now on, he will have the highest command over you. He will be in complete charge of you. Everyone must obey his orders! Is that understood?"
"Understood!"
A ragged chorus arose from below.
Li Chenzhou had been watching from the side. He discovered that these soldiers were incomparable to the army of his own country that he had seen before.
Not only was their formation a mess, but many of the soldiers also looked lazy and stood crookedly, without any of the imposing manner of soldiers.
Even when Hu Tao shouted "Attention," they only straightened their bodies slightly and listened to him listlessly. And when Hu Tao introduced Li Chenzhou, the soldiers all looked at him.
When they realized that he was just a young man who might have only just turned twenty and was only at level three, most of the soldiers showed sarcasm and mockery on their faces, then turned their gazes away, ignoring Li Chenzhou.
After speaking, Hu Tao looked at Li Chenzhou, asking if he wanted to say a few words. Li Chenzhou shook his head. Just as Hu Tao was about to give the soldiers a few more words of advice, a voice came from the communicator. It was Dugu Tianfeng.
He had already gathered the bigwigs of this base and they could start the meeting!
Hu Tao explained to Li Chenzhou and then left in a hurry. Li Chenzhou took a few steps forward and stood in the position where Hu Tao had been standing, looking at the soldiers below!
The soldiers in the formation began to discuss among themselves, whispering to each other, and pointing at Li Chenzhou. Li Chenzhou took a deep breath, then shouted loudly:
"Everyone, stand at attention and maintain silence!!!"
The soldiers below were stunned and all looked at Li Chenzhou. After shouting these eight words, Li Chenzhou actually stopped talking and just stood upright on the reviewing stand!
"He's standing pretty straight, but it's a pity. A level-three kid can't put on an act, it's useless. Does he really dare to fight the Devourers?"
"Tch, give me a break. Him? He'd probably be scared to death just seeing a Devourer!"
"Don't say that, if he goes to fight the Devourers, he might actually come back alive! He's stronger than us!"
"Why?"
"Because he's only level three, the Devourers won't bother with him. Isn't it like when we're fishing, we throw back the small fish we catch? Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha! That's true! No wonder this guy looks fearless! Sigh! Having a low level has actually given him a sense of superiority!"
"Come on, his sense of superiority is innate. He's definitely a son of some big family here to get gilded. Think about it, having the words 'military instructor' on his resume, how awesome would that be?"
"That's true! Damn it, I can't stand these big families! Each and every one of them is useless, but they can manage everything, just because they were born well!"
"The military is a place where the strong are respected. We'll challenge him later. Isn't he going to be our instructor? He can't even beat us, right? Haha!"
"That's right! I'll challenge him later, damn it, you guys watch, I'm going to beat him so bad he won't even recognize his own mother!"
"Whose mother doesn't recognize him?"
"Your mother..."
"..."
Li Chenzhou clearly told them to stand at attention and maintain silence, but most of the soldiers below were still in the same crooked state as before, standing casually. Some even simply sat on the ground, chatting with the people next to them, and occasionally turned their heads to look at Li Chenzhou with contempt and hatred.
Most of them were commoners who had been bullied by nobles since they were young, and Li Chenzhou was naturally regarded as a son of a big family—because it was impossible for a commoner child to become an instructor at this age. Even novels weren't written like that.
Li Chenzhou ignored them and just stood on the reviewing stand by himself. Just then, a group of people suddenly ran in from outside, led by Captain Jin.
"Little Li! Lord Dugu said that since you're going to train the soldiers, you might as well help him train them too. Because he has a meeting, he couldn't come in person, so he asked me to bring the people over!"
Li Chenzhou turned his head to look. Captain Jin had brought less than two hundred people. Although the number was not large, this was only the number of Avengers members in the two bases.
These were all Awakened ones. Proportionally, it was already very high. After all, they had all become Awakened ones by using mutated crystal cores. In his previous life, Li Chenzhou had never even heard of there being more than a hundred Awakened ones.
"Enter the formation! Everyone, stand at attention and maintain silence!"
Since Dugu Tianfeng had requested it, Li Chenzhou naturally wouldn't refuse. Anyway, it was still the selection stage. Whether these people could be selected depended on themselves.
In this regard, Li Chenzhou would not give anyone face. His plan was to create an elite force in this world, an elite force that could shock the entire Duoluo world. At the same time, this team would also be his weapon to fight against the Devourers and the Controllers!
"Yes!"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, before Captain Jin could say anything, one of the people in the team responded loudly, then ran to the front of the formation and stood there in a fairly standard posture, without moving.
Along with him were three other people. Yes, that's right. These four guys were Li Yun and the others who had followed Li Chenzhou to Base Seven!
After they "escorted" Li Chenzhou to Base Seven, because there was nothing going on in Base Three, Dugu Tianfeng did not summon them back. As a result, Base Three fell, and they escaped a disaster.
Just now, Dugu Tianfeng had people summon them, saying that he wanted them to accept someone's training. If they wanted to become stronger, they had better completely obey that person.
Hearing this, Li Yun immediately thought of Li Chenzhou. When he came over and saw that it was indeed him, he naturally dared not be negligent and immediately followed Li Chenzhou's orders without any discount.
He had personally witnessed Li Chenzhou's strength. Fighting across two levels was as easy as playing. Training with such a person was a rare opportunity, and Li Yun would certainly not miss it.
The other Awakened ones didn't take it seriously, especially after seeing Li Chenzhou's age and sensing his level. They all frowned. If this order hadn't been issued by Dugu Tianfeng, they probably would have shouted already.
But now, seeing Li Yun's performance, these Awakened ones, who thought of themselves as the chosen ones, were all very strange. They looked at Li Yun and the other three, then looked at Li Chenzhou, and were all confused. But some people showed a thoughtful expression on their faces...
