382: Head to the Tianyan Lion Army Camp!

"Wind King!"

"Greetings, Wind King!"

At this moment, Marquis Shenwei and Ming Hao flew over side-by-side to greet crew.

They had clearly been waiting for a long time!

Behind them was a group of men with powerful auras, giving off the impression of seasoned warriors who had experienced life and death.

This group of men, dressed in armor, cupped their hands towards Guo Feng and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Wind King!"

"No need for formalities."

Guo Feng waved his hand.

Marquis Shenwei then came over, pointing at those men and saying, "These are the Pianjiang, Yajiang, Pijiang (Military Title), and Vice Generals of the five armies of the Tianyan Lion Army."

"Greetings, everyone. Let's enter the camp first."

Guo Feng remained calm, cupped his hands, and flew with Marquis Shenwei towards the central army's position.

In fact, he understood that these generals were all high-ranking and powerful individuals.

They commanded over two hundred thousand elite soldiers.

And these people also knew that with a new Grand General arriving, there would inevitably be a major reshuffle of personnel.

So, it was always good for them to come and show goodwill to Guo Feng first.

He wouldn't be soft-hearted and say that if he wanted to replace a Vice General, he would definitely replace them.

However, as for the true positions of these people, he would not shake them.

At most, it would just mean more Salary (salary).

His crucial point was that he didn't have time to understand the temperament, character, and abilities of the various generals.

Therefore, he had to place his trusted subordinates in key positions.

Soon, they landed on a high platform in the central army.

At this time, the central army of over two hundred thousand troops had already gathered in various areas below the high platform.

Looking out, it was densely packed.

Looking further to the front, back, left, and right.

The four armies to the left, right, front, and back had also already assembled.

Over a million people gathered in this indescribably large military camp.

At this moment, they stood divided into one area after another.

Guo Feng only watched for a while and felt a surge of emotion.

It was the excitement of holding great power.

He suddenly understood why so many people coveted power, why so many people fought for power.

Power indeed had its captivating aspects!

At this moment, one of the generals waved the large banner in his hand and shouted, "All legions, greet the Wind Rider Grand General!"

Subsequently, command flags were waved in one formation after another, and orders were passed down.

Over a million people simultaneously shouted 'Greetings, Wind Rider Grand General,' and the sound was like a tsunami, overwhelming everything.

The surrounding mountains and forests were completely shaken!

Guo Feng would probably never forget this scene in his life!

One must know that to join the Tianyan Lion Army, one must at least be a Third-Rank cultivator.

A Corporal must be Fourth-Rank.

A Squad Leader must be Fifth-Rank.

A Centurion must be Sixth-Rank.

A Chiliarch must be Seventh-Rank.

A Myriarch must be Seventh-Rank Fifth-Layer or above.

A Pianjiang must be Eighth-Rank or above.

A Pijiang (Military Title) must be Eighth-Rank Fifth-Layer or above.

A Yajiang and Vice General must be Ninth-Rank or above.

Therefore, the aura of these people was extremely powerful, and their momentum far surpassed that of tens of millions of ordinary people.

And these million troops were almost entirely under Guo Feng's control!

"Good."

However, Guo Feng quickly regained his composure, waved his hand, and the million people quickly quieted down.

He then sat in the Grand General's seat and looked at the crowd standing on the secondary platform.

He said, "I am here today to take over the Tianyan Lion Army and to appoint new Vice Generals."

His words were straight to the point.

As soon as his voice fell, the previous generals all looked at each other.

These people were Vice Generals, Yajiang, Pijiang (Military Title), and Pianjiang.

A single army of two hundred thousand had twenty Myriarchs, ten Pianjiang, five Pijiang (Military Title), two Yajiang, and one Vice General.

Therefore, the Tianyan Lion Army had a total of one hundred Myriarchs, fifty Pianjiang, twenty-five Pijiang (Military Title), ten Yajiang, and five Vice Generals.

Adding the Left and Right Generals who had already been transferred, and the fallen former Grand General.

This was the entire mid-to-high level of the Tianyan Lion Army.

It also showed how great the power of a Vice General was.

In the army, a higher rank could crush a person.

A Vice General was the highest existence, second only to the Grand General and the Left and Right Generals.

No one wanted to lose this position.

But facing this Wind King, they dared not act rashly.

After all, after learning about the new commander, they had also sent people to the Imperial Capital to inquire.

So, after Guo Feng finished speaking, no one dared to say a word.

At this moment, Guo Feng spoke again, "I govern the army with martial arts. First, I will discuss strength, and only then will I value military talent!"

This was also something Guo Feng had carefully considered.

On the Chaos Continent, in wars dominated by cultivators, the strength of a general was especially important.

Because in the wars of Huaguo's history, a general's high martial prowess meant they could fight one against ten, and rarely one against a hundred, which was already the limit.

Therefore, military talent was more important.

However, the difference in strength among cultivators was too great.

A Ninth-Rank cultivator could annihilate tens of thousands of opponents.

Therefore, he governed the army with martial arts.

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, Guo Feng said, "So, next, the five Vice Generals, step forward!"

"Yes!"

The five Vice Generals all stepped out.

Guo Feng had seen before that the ten Yajiang were all newly entered Ninth-Rank, or Ninth-Rank First-Layer.

As for the five Vice Generals, the strongest was Ninth-Rank Fifth-Layer, and the weakest was Ninth-Rank Third-Layer.

Guo Feng then said, "Nan Liru, Wan Hui, Chong Ming, step forward!"

"Yes!"

Nan Liru, Wan Hui, and Chong Ming also stepped out.

Guo Feng then said, "Nan Liru and the other two are my trusted subordinates. In this campaign to Guo Wang City, I want an absolute victory. Therefore, as a newcomer, I will naturally arrange my trusted subordinates in key positions."

"But, I am not a dictator."

He said, sweeping a glance at the five Vice Generals, "I will also give you an opportunity."

"These three will challenge three of you. There is only one chance. Whoever wins will remain in their position. Those who lose will temporarily serve as Yajiang. After this campaign, I will arrange positions based on your performance."

He paused and asked, "Do you have any objections to my arrangement?"

"No objections!"

The five Vice Generals shouted in unison.

In fact, this was quite normal.

Guo Feng was new here and unfamiliar with them, and he was also responsible for such an important campaign.

This arrangement was reasonable.

Moreover, he also gave them a chance to prove themselves.

If they lost, it meant they were not as skilled, and demoting to Yajiang and then earning promotions through future achievements was also possible!

"Good, let's begin."

Guo Feng waved his hand, "Nan Liru, you go first."

"Yes, Grand General!"

Nan Liru nodded, stepping out with a somewhat heroic demeanor.

She looked at the strongest Central Army Vice General, "Uncle Qinglong, I'd like to challenge you."

"Haha!"

The Central Army Vice General Qinglong, whose face was slightly dark, couldn't help but laugh, "Good, Little Ru, I also want to see how strong you are now. It doesn't matter who wins or loses in our fight; whether you assist me or I assist you, it's all the same!"

"Go."

Guo Feng smiled with satisfaction upon seeing that the two knew each other, then waved his hand.

He threw out a barrier arena capable of withstanding Ninth-Rank Fifth-Layer and above.

Vice General Qinglong and Nan Liru then rushed into it.

And the million strong army present also looked up to watch.

A Ninth-Rank battle was not common!
