Chapter 175 The Meaning of Soldiers
Wang Zhan looked at Zhao Yiming, whose cultivation level had increased in front of him, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed appreciation. He smiled and said, "It seems that you are ready to graduate. Let's go, I'll take you out in person."
"Instructor, I want to say hello to a few friends!" Zhao Yiming said quickly.
Wang Zhan nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
After leaving the library, Zhao Yiming went to Cave No. 2 and asked Bao Yongshou to call everyone out and say goodbye to them one by one.
"Brother Zhao, you go to the army to develop first. You may have to continue to follow you after we go out."
"Hehe, with your strength and talent, it won't take long to become a general or even a general, so we will have a place to settle down at that time."
"Yes, it's better to do things under someone else's hands than to do things under Brother Zhao's hands. After all, Brother Zhao will not deduct our military achievements."
...
Everyone was very excited and kept talking.
When they sent Zhao Yiming to the foot of the mountain, Bao Yongshou reminded with a serious expression: "Be careful of the Shenwu Hou Mansion, I guess they will not give up."
"Haha, don't worry, now I am no longer the weak person who let them knead them casually." Zhao Yiming's eyes flashed, and his face was full of confidence.
With his current strength, he can no longer be able to solve him by just sending a person to the Shenwu Marquis' Mansion. At least he can have a powerful warrior in the Five Yuan Realm and Three Yang Realm.
There are not many warriors of this level in the Shenwu Marquis' Mansion, not to mention that he has the identity protection of the "brigadier general".
At least, in the area of the imperial capital, the Shenwu Hou Mansion would not dare to openly kill him, otherwise Emperor Xia would never spare the Shenwu Hou Mansion.
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care too!"
...
After saying goodbye to Bao Yongshou and the others, Zhao Yiming joined Wang Zhan and held a simple military rank promotion ceremony in a stone hall at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the brigade general's card worn on Zhao Yiming's chest, Wang Zhan sighed with emotion: "You guys are really lucky. They encountered such a good opportunity as an officer training camp. I remember when I was promoted to brigade general, I survived more than a dozen life and death disasters in the wilderness. Every time I climbed out of the pile of dead people, and thus accumulated the military achievements of being promoted to brigade general."
Zhao Yiming was secretly shocked when he heard this. More than a dozen great disasters of life and death, this was simply terrible.
"Do you think it's scary?"
Wang Zhan seemed to see Zhao Yiming's thoughts and said with a smile: "In fact, most people who can come back from the wilderness will have this kind of experience, because there is a meat mincing farm there. If ten people enter, at least nine people will die in it."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhan looked at Zhao Yiming in surprise and said in a deep voice: "The mortality rate of the wilderness is as high as 90%. Since the founding of our Great Xia Empire, it has been such a high mortality rate until now, and it has never changed."
"Ah..." Zhao Yiming widened his eyes when he heard this, looking disbelief.
It has always been a 90% mortality rate. How many people have died over the years?
Wang Zhan suddenly asked, "Have you heard of the name of the Demon Army?"
Zhao Yiming nodded. When he was in the Eastern Palace, he saw a team of Demonic Army, and his aura was still unforgettable.
Wang Zhan said proudly: "The Demon-Demon Army is known as the first army of our Great Xia Empire. It is because they fought with monsters all year round in the wilderness that they created this iron-blooded strong army."
Zhao Yiming nodded. Even a waste would be tempered into an iron-blooded warrior when he could survive such a high mortality rate.
Wang Zhan looked at Zhao Yiming and continued, "You are a brigade general and came out of the officer training camp. I guess there is a high chance that you will be sent to the wilderness to join the Demon Army. So, you'd better be mentally prepared. The horror there will definitely exceed your imagination."
Zhao Yiming nodded and said solemnly: "It is also my honor to be able to join the Demonic Army."
He had no objection to this. It is normal for the Daxia Empire to cultivate them in this way, so they naturally need to fulfill some obligations.
"It's great that you have this kind of awareness!"
Hearing Zhao Yiming's words, Wang Zhan nodded with admiration, and then smiled and said, "Of course, although the wilderness is very dangerous, it is a good place for real strong people. Because in the wilderness, you can quickly accumulate military achievements, and it is no problem to be named a general and a marquis. I can tell you that 70% of the marquis of our Daxia Empire are all coming out of the wilderness Demon Army."
A light flashed in Zhao Yiming's eyes. If he wanted to compete with the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, he had to first improve his identity, preferably a marquis.
A place like the wilderness is obviously the most suitable for him, and it can allow him to quickly accumulate military achievements.
Zhao Yiming looked at Wang Zhan with a solemn expression and said solemnly: "Instructor, I won't embarrass you."
Wang Zhan smiled and said, "I have confidence in you!"
He witnessed Zhao Yiming's talent with his own eyes. As long as Zhao Yiming does not die, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a marquis in the future.
...
After being promoted to the rank, Zhao Yiming followed a team of soldiers to leave the officer training camp.
Zhao Yiming recognized the officer in the lead. When he entered the officer training camp, this person sent him in.
"I'm here Zhao Yiming, how dare you ask your brother's name?" Zhao Yiming couldn't help asking.
The officer in charge did not have a cold face like before, but said with a smile: "General Zhao is polite. Xia Chengfu, a subordinate of the country, is just a commander of ten thousand men."
A ten thousand men?
Zhao Yiming was slightly moved. This position was already very high. In the Daxia Empire Army, the lowest-level ones were ordinary soldiers, then senior soldiers, then centurion commanders, thousands of men, ten thousand men, and then brigade generals.
It is precisely because of so many military positions that Wang Zhan sighed how lucky Zhao Yiming and his group were, and directly crossed many levels and entered the level of a brigade general.
"Brother Xia is joking. Zhao is just a brigade general. I don't know when it will be promoted to a general." Zhao Yiming said modestly.
Xia Chengfu shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, I would still doubt it, but General Zhao, your subordinate is well-known. You won the first place in the Holy Land Battle, and now you are the first place in our officer training camp. With your talent, let alone being promoted to a general, the future title of marquis is just around the corner."
"Brother Chengxia is auspicious saying." Zhao Yiming smiled bitterly.
A hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on Xia Chengfu's face. Then, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "General Zhao, as far as I know, most of your brigade generals who came out of the officer training camp will be sent to the wilderness. I have a brother in the wilderness. I don't know whether he is dead or alive. Can General Zhao help me bring him a word? Although I, Xia Chengfu, is not a big shot, as long as General Zhao helps me, I will go through fire and water in the future."
"Brother Xia is so serious." Zhao Yiming waved his hand and said, "It's just a word. Brother Xia doesn't have to do this. If I go to the wilderness, I will definitely bring you there. I don't know what your brother is called? What words do you want to bring to him?"
Xia Chengfu looked grateful and said quickly: "My brother is Yu Deshou. If he is not dead, he will be at least a ten thousand men. If you see him, please tell him that everything is in good condition in his family, his uncle and aunt are in good health, his wife and children are also very good, and his youngest son is already able to speak."
Zhao Yiming smiled hoarsely. He thought he was asked to bring something, but he didn't expect it was just these common words. He said curiously: "Have your brother not been back for a long time?"
Xia Chengfu sighed: "He was transferred to the wilderness as the chief of the wilderness when his wife was three months pregnant. Now his youngest son is two and a half years old. He has been in the wilderness for more than three years."
Zhao Yiming was silent. If it were before, he would have felt that only three years had not been long. But after knowing the horror of the wilderness, he knew very well that in the past three years, how many death crises that Yu Deshou had experienced, and whether he was still alive is an unknown.
Zhao Yiming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What if he died? Sorry, I know it is unlucky to say this, but you came back from the wilderness. You know the horror of the wilderness more than me."
Xia Chengfu sighed: "Of course I know the horror of the wilderness. It is definitely a dangerous place for a lifetime. I even guessed that my brother was probably dead. After all, he hasn't replied for almost a year."
Speaking of this, Xia Chengfu said in a deep voice: "If you are sure that he is dead, I hope General Zhao can help me send his ashes back. If there are no ashes, then send his relics back."
"Okay!" Zhao Yiming nodded. He was in a heavy mood and didn't say anything more.
After sending Zhao Yiming outside the training camp, Xia Chengfu said, "Precaution for General Zhao!"
"Take care too!" Zhao Yiming nodded, then stared at Xia Chengfu and asked curiously: "Why did you join the army? Do you regret it?"
"regret!"
To Zhao Yiming's surprise, Xia Chengfu actually replied that he regretted it.
However, before Zhao Yiming asked again, Xia Chengfu continued to speak: "Although I regret it, if I were asked to choose again, I would still choose to join the army and go to the wilderness."
"Ah?" Zhao Yiming was a little confused. Isn't these words a contradictory?
Xia Chengfu seemed to see Zhao Yiming's doubts and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to say any great truth, nor can I say any great truth. But I have seen the horror of those monsters in the wilderness. They like to eat people the most. If they are allowed to rush out of the wilderness and invade our Daxia Empire, all my parents, brothers, wives and children will be eaten by them. Therefore, even in order to protect these relatives, I will die in the wilderness even if I die."
After saying that, Xia Chengfu led a team of soldiers to return to the officers training camp.
Zhao Yiming, who was still there, suddenly felt heavy in his heart when he looked at Xia Chengfu and the others' backs.
He used to think that the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire had nothing to do with him. If he could choose, he would definitely choose to join the holy land.
But now he realized that they could live a stable life in the rear by relying on these soldiers to protect them in the wilderness.
They tried their best to block the invasion of the monsters.
There is no peace and quiet in time, it’s someone who is carrying the burden on you.
At this moment, Zhao Yiming truly understood the meaning of a soldier. He took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely firm.
"I heard that the more powerful the monster meat is, the more fragrant it tastes after barbecue. I also want to give it a try."
