Lord of the Earth

After obtaining three rewards that are equivalent to "Xuanhuang" or even "above Xuanhuang".

Next, Xia Tian led the civil and military officials of the Qianxia Dynasty who participated in the Fengshan ceremony. They first built a "stone tablet" on the "Fengshan Terrace" with the Great Wall spirit bricks, and sealed the "Fengshan Book" containing the "golden jade slips" in Zhuge Liang's hand under the stone tablet!

Next, he brought civil and military officials to the bottom of the mountain below the "Fengshan Terrace", and together they reclaimed a spiritual field and planted some "spiritual plants" that represented the eternal prosperity of the dynasty!
He even killed a "ferocious beast" from the holy realm that massacred the human race to thank the gods and ancestors for their reward.

Offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors...

When all this is completely over, it means that the "Fengshan" process has been completely completed!

Finally, the "scorching sun" in the sky that represented the will of the Eternal Land, and the shadow of the Taishan Palace Lord that towered over the mountain and made many alien races feel a great deal, gradually dissipated...

"Hmm, that's not right. Did you notice that the moment the figure that looked like the 'true god' disappeared, the mansion on the mountaintop that was revealed seemed to be in ruins, and the statue was shattered..."

However, the moment it disappeared, some aliens suddenly discovered the clue.

Although this figure is very powerful, the broken palace and the chair behind it seem to indicate a certain decline... How could a true god allow his residence and kingdom to fall into such ruin?
"I see... This human race's true god is likely dead... I was wondering, if there really was a true god who arranged this, why didn't the Qianxia Dynasty even have a saint at the beginning?"

After feeling the overwhelming pressure dissipate, the deputy leader of Taixuan Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

There was indeed a true god behind the human race of the Qianxia Dynasty, but judging from the current situation, that true god should have been "dead"!

This time, I don't need to be as cautious as before.

"A fallen true god, there may be huge resources behind this..."

Among the alien races who also noticed this scene, many people had some thoughts in their minds.

After all, the items left behind by a fallen true god, even if they are just a blade of grass or a tree, or a brick or tile among the ruins, are most likely to be "artifact" level items.

If there is a chance to enter it, it will be enough for any force to gain huge benefits!
"Although it was not successful, the human race's dynasty has already shown signs of imperial power..."

"Where is the envoy of the Tianlong Dynasty? Call him here quickly and I will bring him to see my father!"

"It seems that the actions originally planned need to be accelerated..."

With the end of the "Fengshan" of the Qianxia Dynasty, various forces have begun to take action under the command of the top leaders. The situation, which had been calm for a while, has become turbulent again!

"Next, let's proceed to the next item... I beg Your Majesty to expand the army for our Qianxia Dynasty..."

However, in the Qianxia Dynasty, all officials did not leave after the Fengshan ceremony. Bai Qi, dressed in military uniform, stepped out and said to Xia Tian.

Because it is located in a place surrounded by enemies, the Qianxia Dynasty has always maintained a one-tenth ratio of its own military strength. Of course, as the army grows older, more resources are needed to cultivate it, especially for extraordinary soldiers. Even if the Qianxia Dynasty has enough resources, it is still very difficult to support them...

Therefore, in recent times, this proportion has decreased.

Although there are now 20 million people, the total number of troops is only over 1 million.

For the Qianxia Dynasty, the "Fengshan" caused such a big fuss, its own purpose was to "make a show of force and scare the tiger"!
Now that the Qianxia Dynasty has shown its "imperial posture", the attitudes of the many surrounding ethnic groups towards the Qianxia Dynasty will inevitably change. Whether it is surrender or war, it is necessary to expand the army and maintain conventional combat effectiveness!

"As Lord Bai said!"

"Today, the five core armies of the Qianxia Dynasty, Yunjiao, Xianzhen, Shenji, Yulin, Jinyiwei... the five legions have their personnel quota increased from the original 50,000 to 100,000. At the same time, their leaders' official positions have been changed from the original 'army leader' to 'grand army leader', ranking third level... and, on this basis, the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger 'four major legions' will be established. The upper limit of the number of personnel in each legion is temporarily set at 500,000, and the legion commander will be ranked 'fourth level'!"

Xia Tian said in his mouth.

"In the legion, every person who has reached the extraordinary level of cultivation or has reached the level of talent can receive treatment equivalent to an official of the same rank... In addition, the salary of the soldiers in the large legion will be increased by 50% compared to other armies!"

Xia Tian nodded and said.

Originally, the army of the Qianxia Dynasty.

It is a combination of "ordinary soldiers" and "elite soldiers" or "elite soldiers" and "ace soldiers"!

For example, most of the "Tiger Guards" led by Wu Song are just ordinary soldiers at the Transcendental level, with only a small number of elite troops who have transformed more than five times.

As for the "Yunjiao Army" led by Zhao Yun, even the weakest regular soldiers have undergone more than five transformations. The core "Dragon Sparrow Camp" has all members at an extraordinary level, with amazing combat effectiveness!
Now, Xia is preparing to further strengthen the "combination" of related armies on this basis. On the basis of its own single army, he will introduce more arms and "match" them to form a "legion" that is more suitable for joint operations!
"What? The legion actually has such benefits? Hiss, in this case, you can consider joining it. Then you will be considered a direct descendant of the Qianxia Dynasty..."

When such conditions were put forward, many troops that had newly joined the Qianxia Dynasty had a gleam of desire in their eyes.

It is impossible for all the armies of any imperial court to be treated equally. At least the "five core" armies of the Qianxia Dynasty, including the Jinyiwei, had higher treatment and status than other armies.

In particular, weapons, armor and even training materials are given priority supply!
This made many who joined the army later envious, but they felt somewhat out of place because of their "background".

But now, the problem of forming a "legion" in the summer has been solved suddenly. Only by joining it can everyone become "the same group" at least in name.

"All legion commanders will have a 'fourth-level' official position, and after becoming a legion master, they can obtain a divine artifact and a monthly salary of 200,000 Tianyuan gold coins..."

And Xia Tian said again.

The dynasty's "fortune and status" were restricted, and it could only enfeoff a small number of people.

However, the dynasty is different. In theory, as long as the luck of the dynasty is strong enough, it can even "appoint officials" unlimitedly!
Even ordinary soldiers can enjoy the benefits of "Fortune Rank" based on their own achievements. The first-level rank can make people become blue "talents", the second-level rank can make people become silver talents, the third-level rank can make people become gold talents, and "Legion Commander" is the fourth-level rank.

Once appointed, it is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of "Eternal Prodigy"!

"Hiss, so rich..."

"You actually gave me a divine weapon as a reward. This is too arrogant!"

"I also want to join the army in the Qianxia Dynasty... After all, we are all soldiers, so what's the difference?"

As soon as these words were spoken, those spies from the small number of human forces that were unwilling to surrender in the crowd all showed interested expressions on their faces!

"I wonder if the human race will form a 'foreign army' in the future. Then maybe we can compete for it?"

Not only the human race, but even some of the alien races showed envious expressions on their faces.

You know, the value of Tianyuan gold coins is even higher than that of spirit stones. The legion commander's monthly reward of 200,000 Tianyuan gold coins is equivalent to a reward of one million spirit stones. Even for a saint or a genius, it is a number that cannot be refused!

As for the magical artifacts, there is no need to say more. Even the Taixuan Sect only has the "Ten Divine Artifacts"!

"Are you going to oppose our sect?"

This also caused the deputy leader of Taixuan Sect to frown secretly, feeling a little unhappy!

You know, before this, only Bai Qi, as the "Head of Military Affairs", was able to hold the "fourth-level" official position!

And now, every "legion commander" of the Qianxia Dynasty is of the "Jade White" level of official rank, which undoubtedly makes everyone jealous.

Of course, it would be difficult for ordinary people to qualify as a "legion commander".

Even in the Qianxia Dynasty, there were not many such people.

At present, there are only Zhao Yun, Qi Jiguang, Jiang Wei, Gao Shun, Hua Rong, Qin Liangyu...

Only those who have sufficient qualifications, have accumulated a lot of merits, or have sufficient cultivation can directly serve as "Legion Commander"!
The rest of the personnel, including Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Yan Qing, Lu Junyi and others... can only temporarily obtain the qualifications of "Grand Army Commander" or even "Army Commander", ranking among the "third-level" official positions of luck.

"Great! In this way, we can also work hard and maybe we can surpass the latecomers..."

"I will definitely become a 'legion leader' and a figure comparable to a 'prodigy'!"

Such stimulation also made the new recruits of the army after the founding of the Qianxia Dynasty, such as Pei Yuanshao, Wu Anguo and others, eager to fight!
After all, for a large number of heroes in the Sea of ​​Illusion, their potential is limited, and becoming a golden hero is already their end!

It is almost impossible to become a genius!
However, the Qiyun Dynasty can provide such an opportunity.

Even more, one can make use of the official position in the Qiyun Dynasty to accumulate "merits" for oneself, thereby breaking through one's own limits and becoming a true "eternal prodigy" one day!
"Yes, our strength is not inferior to those 'big armies'. Once we accumulate enough merits, we can also become a member of the 'ace army'!"

Of course, those who were also encouraged were the top soldiers from various territories who had joined the Qianxia Dynasty these days, including the Iron Eagle Warriors, the Han Youzhou Iron Cavalry, the Tang Dynasty Mo Dao Soldiers, the Ming Dynasty Shen Jiying, and even the soldiers from the Warring States Period and the Spring and Autumn Period... Wei Wuzu, Qi Jiji...

These famous arms in history books are all top-notch in the gold category. Now, after being stimulated, they are all full of fighting spirit and have a competitive spirit!
"Sure enough, this arrangement can better activate the arrogance in the hearts of these outsiders..."

Xia Tian said with satisfaction in his heart.

When a dynasty develops to a certain extent, it is inevitable that old heroes will occupy good positions and form factions!
This is not a bad thing, as it can foster a sense of honor among the elderly, but it is also necessary to give newcomers the opportunity to “come to the fore”!

Therefore, in addition to coping with the changes that may occur in the future, another reason for Xia Tian’s expansion of the army is to give these later armies a chance to "come to the fore" and allow them to compete with the original veteran armies!

After all, for a king, the most important thing is the way of "employing people" and "checks and balances".

"Li Ling is appointed as the leader of the Danyang Warrior Army, a third-rank lower-rank official! A monthly salary of 10,000 Tianyuan gold coins, and a holy weapon."

"Zhao Kuo is appointed as the leader of the Hufu Knights Army, a third-rank lower-rank official, with a monthly salary of 10,000 Tianyuan gold coins, and a holy weapon."

Therefore, in the following days, most of the candidates for chief officers of the newly formed "army" announced in the summer were in the category of "newcomers", simply because most of the original senior personnel had already been ranked as "army chief and deputy army chief" based on their own merits!

Of course, even if they are both at the third level, there are still differences between the "military lord" below the third level and the "grand military lord" above the third level.

Although this kind of "lucky official position" cannot really allow people to be promoted, it is for some outstanding people who were originally silver or even gold!
After being granted an official position, one’s ability in a certain aspect can be brought to the peak.

For example, with the blessing of the "third-level upper" Grand Army Commander position, Gao Shun, who was originally only a middle-level hero among the golden heroes, now has become a "Grand Army Commander" and his combat power is enough to compete with any top-level or even quasi-prodigy-level heroes...

Li Ru also received the same treatment.

As a golden hero himself, and the "Jinyiwei Commander" in charge of the intelligence department of the Qianxia Dynasty, although he did not reach the fourth-rank official position of "Grand Army Commander"!

But because of his accumulated merits, he was awarded the official position of "third rank above" and, like Gao Shun, stepped into the ranks of "quasi-prodigies".

Qi Jiguang, the leader of the Xuanwu Army, the commander of the army and the commander of the "Shenji Camp", who was appointed by Xia Tian, ​​was originally a "quasi-prodigy" who was still one step away from becoming a prodigy. However, with the blessing of the "Qiyun official position", he became a "Jade White Prodigy" level figure! (End of this chapter)
