Lin Zhan stood on the city wall, gazing at the magnificent and sturdy fortress, and couldn't help but sigh,
"Time flies like a white steed passing through a crack, leaving us no time to prepare before it quietly slips away. It truly pains my heart."
The young Daoist priest sitting beside him pouted and said, "Brother, we haven't been to school for many days. Can you speak in plain language that everyone can understand?"
"Oh, you mean where did those bastard lizardmen go? It's been three days now, how could..."
Ancestor Bai Qi stared at the dark circles under the eyes of the two iron-eating beasts, carried his broken saber, and promised not to trouble Lin Zhan over this matter anymore.
As the truth was spread by those with keen insight, Ancestor Bai Qi, upon returning to his main legion, directly and generously ordered an expansion of the Kill God Army to 3 million troops.
It's important to note that the cost of the Kill God Army was much higher than that of the Royal Guard Army. The various aristocratic families of Qin Du could only gather the military funds for 10 million troops, including the Ying family's elite soldiers.
And this was from all the aristocratic families in Qin Du, with their inheritances spanning over a thousand years being put on the line.
Lin Zhan saw Jiang Zheng's return and hurriedly said, "Since Old Jiang, you're back, I plan to reorganize this new legion I have into several large group armies. Can you help me with some advice?"
Jiang Zheng was taken aback. Although Lin Zhan had taken away the Jiang family's Sixth Group Army, he had no regrets.
Young Master Lin had directly used Qi and Blood Pills to strengthen the entire Hundred Battles Legion based on the number of soldiers.
The Hundred Battles Legion was now all at the peak of the Gold rank, with one-third of the soldiers being Platinum rank. The equipment was also arranged according to the Thunderclap and Gale, two of Lin Zhan's direct legions.
The entire Hundred Battles Legion was refreshed from top to bottom, with their combat effectiveness more than doubling.
The others looked at the refreshed Jiang Zheng and said with lecherous smiles,
"Old Jiang, congratulations, congratulations! This time, you can finally pursue the long and arduous journey, seeking knowledge both high and low."
The serious General Jiang, a strategist, was no match for these few perverts. He could only pretend not to hear them and said to Lin Zhan,
"Old Lin, how do you want to divide the group armies?"
Lin Zhan handed a document to Jiang Zheng and said,
"My new legion, including the main combat troops and artillery, totals 15 million. I've requested another 10 million from the Royal Guard Army, plus the 5 million from the Sixth Group Army. That makes a total of 30 million."
"My plan is still to divide them into 3 group armies, each with 10 million soldiers. Then, with the Thunderclap, Gale, and Hundred Battles legions attached, each legion will reach 11 million."
"The Fourth Group Army will be commanded by my father-in-law, Zhang Zhen, as the overall commander. The Fifth Group Army will be commanded by my maternal grandfather, Ouyang Chengshan, as the overall commander. The Sixth Group Army will be commanded by your grandfather, Jiang Zhongtian, as the overall commander."
"At the same time, I'll have Ancestor Bai Qi, Ancestor Wang Jian, and Ancestor Meng Tian command the first, second, and third group armies, respectively. These three group armies will focus on quality over quantity."
"Then, the remaining 12 million Royal Guards will be evenly distributed among these three group armies. Coupled with the main legions of the three ancestors, and I'll mobilize another 3 million artillery troops, each group army will then have 7 million soldiers."
The crowd exchanged astonished glances, "Old Lin, 54 million people, your ambition is truly grand. With this, all of our Huaxia's main combat forces will be just you and that treasure legion you're hiding."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "I don't plan to have that legion make an appearance yet. I intend to keep it hidden and strengthen its power in secret, waiting for the opportune moment to deliver a decisive blow."
Then Lin Zhan turned to Leng Shan and said,
"Old Leng, I want to invite my father out of seclusion to help me manage the missile legion. The Leng family has unique advantages in high-altitude reconnaissance and geographical positioning."
Leng Shan thought carefully and said,
"Alright, I'll contact our old man right away and have him come over. Since you plan to use missiles against the lizardmen, consider it a probationary period for him. If he fails, we'll fire him."
Lin Zhan listened to Leng Shan's words with a bewildered expression, secretly wondering if they were truly father and son.
Lin Zhan looked at the others and continued, "The rest is up to us brothers. Which unit do you plan to join, or will you all go back to your homes?"
"Of course, besides these troops, I will also form several special combat detachments. Old Zhang's Water Ghosts, Old Leng's Hunters, and you, Haoran, and your fellow disciples will also need to organize a Daoist soldier special combat detachment, as these various races have all sorts of strange beings."
