The two walked along, rejecting several proposals along the way.

The first few legions were indeed the elite of the elite, full of talented individuals.

But precisely because it is so perfect and so formal, it has become problematic during this special period.

It is not suitable for a "maverick" professional like Gu Xu.

This is like putting a rein on a wild horse; it makes it safer.

But it also lost its original wildness.

"This won't work, that won't work."

Chen Yang closed the tablet with a wry smile: "Although our military headquarters is large, this is the first time I've ever seen a new recruit treated like a god right from the start."

"We can't exactly create a new position just for him, can we?"

Zhang Daoxuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking down at this massive steel city.

"Special talents naturally require special methods."

Zhang Daoxuan narrowed his eyes, and the faces of legion commanders flashed through his mind.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned and asked, "How's the conscription situation this year?"

"I remember the summary report was just delivered this morning."

Chen Yang was taken aback and immediately retrieved the relevant memories from his mind.

As a secretary, he already knew these data by heart.

Overall, it's not bad.

Chen Yang reported: "Because the number of awakened high-level professionals this year is 20% higher than in previous years, the recruitment targets of all major legions have basically been met."

"The Azure Dragon Army has seized most of the S-class and SS-class talents, and even an SSS-class talent from the Qin family in the capital. The other main legions have also been well-fed."

"Even the Tenth Legion, which is in charge of logistics, has recruited a lot of strong and healthy craftsmen and priests this year."

At this point, Chen Yang paused, his expression turning somewhat strange.

"What's wrong? Just say it."

Zhang Daoxuan glanced at him.

"Yes……"

Chen Yang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "There's only one legion, and so far, the number of new recruits is... zero."

"zero?"

Zhang Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly not too surprised. "You mean, the God-Slaying Army?"

"Yes, it's the God-Slaying Army."

Chen Yang sighed, "Just before the meeting, Su Qiong, the chief of staff of the God-Slaying Army, called me and gave me a good scolding."

"They say our Supreme Command is biased, that all the good candidates are picked by others, and they're not even left with a drop of soup."

"She was yelling at the top of her lungs on the phone, saying that if we didn't give it to them, she would bring people back and tear down our office."

Mentioning the name Su Qiong caused even the usually composed Zhang Daoxuan to twitch at the corner of his eye.

That crazy woman.

In the military circles of the Shenxia Empire, Su Qiong's name is legendary.

She and Zhou Yi led the God-Slaying Army, which was known as the "Asylum" and the "Suicide Squad".

They are stationed on the most dangerous and chaotic front lines of the abyss.

They did all the dirty and tiring work that other legions dared not or did not want to do.

The mortality rate there is extremely high, and the people there act in a very fierce and barbaric manner.

Even proper academic graduates would avoid the God-Slaying Army at the mere mention of its name, fearing they might be conscripted into the army.

Who would willingly give up a perfectly good regular army?

Go to that godforsaken place where you have to fight monsters every day?

Therefore, it's normal for the God-Slaying Army to struggle to recruit members year after year.

However, in recent years, as the fighting has intensified, the casualties of the God-Slaying Army have indeed been severe.

No wonder Su Qiong got angry.

"Zero..."

Zhang Daoxuan muttered to himself, his gaze turning to the window again: "These past few years have truly been tough on them. We've given them the toughest challenges, but haven't been able to provide them with any decent nourishment."

He pondered for a moment, mentally comparing Gu Xu's professional characteristics with the style of the Godslayer Army.

Calamity, chaos, death, fear.

Isn't this a perfect fit for the combat environment of those lunatics in the God-Slaying Army?

There aren't so many rules and regulations there; disasters happen there every day; it's a true battlefield.

For an "Old One" who needs to create panic and disaster to level up.

That place is simply paradise.

Moreover, although Su Qiong's personality is a bit irritable, she is also known for being fiercely protective of her own.

Once she approves of you, she'll stand up for you even if you cause a huge disaster.

More importantly, Su Qiong herself is a strong person who doesn't play by the rules.

Perhaps only she could keep a monster like Gu Xu in check.

We must prevent him from going astray.

"Since that's the case..."

Zhang Daoxuan nodded: "Then let's send Gu Xu to the God-Slaying Army."

"what?"

Chen Yang was startled, almost dropping the tablet in his hand again: "Minister, are you serious? Sending this precious thing into that meat grinder? What if it breaks..."

"It can't be broken."

Zhang Daoxuan sneered and pointed to the words "Immune to all damage" on the tablet: "If he could break, the Abyss would have ceased to exist long ago."

"Besides, don't you think this is fair? Isn't Su Qiong demanding that she be released?"

"Then I'll give her the best, the strongest, the most insane one."

"This one man is worth ten thousand green recruits."

Chen Yang thought about that scene and couldn't help but shudder.

A lawless, madwoman, accompanied by a calamity lord who summons vengeful spirits...

This combination...

It might scare the monsters in the abyss so much they'll develop psychological trauma.

"That...that's true."

Chen Yang swallowed hard: "This is indeed the best explanation for Su Qiong."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Zhang Daoxuan waved his hand: "Call Su Qiong now."

"yes!"

Chen Yang didn't dare to delay and immediately took out his communicator.

…………

The Divine Xia Empire, its capital.

The headquarters of the Godslayer Legion.

In a spacious and bright office, but piled high with all sorts of documents and weapons.

The atmosphere was on the verge of a delicate explosion.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"Bang!"

A long leg, clad in a black high-top military boot, slammed hard onto the desk.

The teacup on top bounced wildly from the vibration.

Su Qiong, the chief of staff of the God-Slaying Army, was like a furious lioness at this moment.

I paced back and forth in the office.

She had an extremely hot figure; the tight military uniform couldn't contain her enviable curves at all.

Her long, wavy, wine-red hair danced with her movements, and her beautiful, almost aggressive face was now filled with displeasure.

"Why?! Huh? Why do you think it's on your behalf?"

Su Qiong pointed out the window and cursed into the air, "Every year during job transfer season, all the good candidates are picked by those bastards from the Azure Dragon Army and White Tiger Army! What kind of ugly and deformed people are left for us?"

"I finally heard that a few promising S-rank talents had emerged from the south this year, and I even submitted my application. But what happened? I was just notified that the Azure Dragon Army had already snatched them up!"

"Are they treating the Azure Dragon Army like their own mother, while we, the Divine Slayer Army, are treated like stepchildren? I'm going to find the minister! I'm going to overturn his table!"

Su Qiong became increasingly angry as she spoke, and grabbed the hat on the table, ready to throw it outside.

"Oh, Sister Qiong, calm down, calm down!"

A pair of soft little hands grabbed Su Qiong's clothes just in time.

Jiang Shu, Su Qiong's deputy.

He was struggling to drag Su Qiong along, like a koala clinging to a big cat.

She was petite, wore her hair in pigtails, and had an adorable baby face.

He looks like a middle school student who is not yet an adult.

But in reality, he is also a powerful job changer.

"The Azure Dragon Army is, after all, the main force, responsible for guarding the front line of the Abyss. It's normal for them to allocate resources to it."

Jiang Shu blinked her big eyes, trying to calm her agitated boss: "Besides, the minister hasn't forgotten about us. Didn't he say there's another batch of names being screened?"

"Screening my ass!"

Su Qiong stopped in her tracks, put her hands on her hips, and her chest heaved violently.

The magnificent scene made Jiang Shu feel dizzy.

"What good stuff can be left? At most, a few A-level talents, maybe one ordinary S-level. The real strategic geniuses have already been snapped up!"

Su Qiong gritted her teeth: "If I can't recruit a single capable newcomer this time, our God-Slaying Army will be at the bottom again in the newcomer legion martial arts competition in a few days! Where will we put our faces then?"

Jiang Shu shrank back, not daring to reply.

Indeed, as a newly formed legion, the Divine Army has a weak foundation and little reputation, which has put it at a disadvantage in recruiting people, and this has become a major concern for Su Qiong.

"No way! The more I think about it, the angrier I get! I have to go and give that old man a piece of my mind!"

Su Qiong shoved Jiang Shu aside and prepared to charge again.

Just then.

"Ring ring—!!!"

The red secure phone on the desk suddenly started ringing frantically.

The urgent, piercing ringtone sounded particularly jarring in the quiet office.

Su Qiong suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She glanced back at the phone with suspicion.

This is the minister's hotline...

It usually doesn't ring for ten days or half a month, but if it does ring, it's definitely not a good sign.

"Hmph, they're calling now to appease me and tell me not to cause trouble."

Su Qiong sneered, strode back, grabbed the receiver, and snapped, "Hello! Who is it! If you're here to persuade me, don't bother. I'm in a bad mood right now!"
