The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.
Chapter 612 Let's go, let's see what we have!
Seeing that Gu Xu was getting along well with everyone, Su Qiong stepped forward, stood beside Gu Xu, and began to dutifully fulfill her duties as deputy legion commander by introducing the team to Gu Xu.
"You should know this person very well, Lin Yuan, so I won't waste my breath."
As she spoke, she pointed to the young man in the black trench coat, her tone revealing a hint of familiarity.
Gu Xu smiled and nodded to Lin Yuan. The two had crossed paths before and were old acquaintances.
Strictly speaking, I was this guy's savior.
The next moment, Lin Yuan stepped forward, his eyes filled with reverence: "Commander Gu, it is my honor to serve under your command!"
"If I apologize for anything later, please forgive me."
Seeing Lin Yuan's serious expression, Gu Xu couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder with a smile: "No need for formalities between old acquaintances. In the future, we'll need your help in the tough battles of the legion."
After introducing Lin Yuan, Su Qiong turned her gaze to Li Tiezhu, who was standing to the side.
However, when she spoke again, her tone was full of solemnity and respect: "Gu Xu, this is General Li Tiezhu, a truly meritorious general in our Shenxia!"
"In the battle against the extreme cold abyss twenty years ago, he led a remnant brigade and held the line for seven days and seven nights without supplies."
"In that battle, he almost bled to death, using his eternal bulwark to protect millions of civilians in three cities behind him."
Upon hearing this, Li Tiezhu lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Deputy Commander Su, you flatter me. Those were all paid for with the lives of our brothers. I just barely escaped with my life."
Su Qiong didn't pause, her gaze falling on the woman in white robes: "This is General Song Zhiyao. Twelve years ago, the planes of Duanjie Mountain overlapped, and poisonous miasma filled the air. It was General Song who, with her own strength, continuously released a large-scale purification spell for three days and three nights."
"If it weren't for her, at least half of the five legions that went to provide support back then would have been lost."
Song Zhiyao bowed slightly, her face serene, as if those thrilling past events were nothing more than trivial matters.
Next up are Chen Lie and Bai Ye.
Chen Lie once single-handedly stormed into Thunder Heights, slaying several Saint-level magical beasts and quelling the thunderstorm that swept across half the province.
Bai Ye's deeds mainly consist of assassinating high-ranking commanders of alien races.
After listening to Su Qiong's introduction, Gu Xu's smile gradually faded, replaced by an extremely serious and respectful expression.
Although several of these battles took place after he completed his job change.
Even things that happened before he was old enough to understand.
But for the people of Shenxia, these battles have long been written into the textbooks of compulsory education.
When he was in school, he memorized the names of these battles in history class.
"Esteemed seniors."
Thinking of this, Gu Xu stepped forward, straightened his body, and solemnly said, "I, Gu Xu, know in my heart the blood you shed for Shenxia."
"Without your fierce fighting on the front lines, there would be no foundation for Shenxia today. It is my honor to work with you all in the same legion."
Gu Xu spoke these words with utmost sincerity, without the slightest air of someone in a high position.
They also lacked the arrogance that comes with having an incredible track record.
Upon hearing this, the deputy legion commanders exchanged glances, and the slight restraint in their eyes immediately dissipated.
"Commander, you flatter me!"
Li Tiezhu spoke in a gruff voice: "We were merely doing our part and made some minor contributions!"
"But you, on several occasions, have stepped forward to save the world from peril, turning the tide and preventing its collapse!"
"Compared to your truly monumental achievements, we old bones can't even come close. So... from now on, in the Calamity Army, we'll all listen to you. Wherever you point, we'll fight!"
Upon hearing this, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Admittedly, they did not express their opinion.
But their expressions said it all.
Seeing this, Gu Xu nodded in satisfaction.
He knew that the team's leadership had begun to win over the team.
Li Tiezhu nodded inwardly at Gu Xu's decisive and efficient manner.
He stepped forward, bowed slightly, and asked, "Commander, all our soldiers are now assembled and in position in the base's plaza!"
"How about we go over and inspect it now, and say a few words to everyone?"
Gu Xu naturally wouldn't refuse such a suggestion.
After all, if he, the commander-in-chief who had been elevated to a god-like status by the General Staff, didn't show his face...
If you don't personally infuse this team with a sense of soul, then this legion will be nothing but a disorganized mess.
He nodded and reached out to straighten the collar of the dark gold military uniform he was wearing, which had been specially approved by the General Staff.
"Let's go, let's take a look at what we have."
After saying that, Gu Xu strode forward, surrounded by five deputy legion commanders and a group of senior generals, and headed towards the garrison square.
Before long, after passing through the sturdy military corridor, the group arrived at the huge central square.
As soon as he stepped onto the platform, the scene before him gave Gu Xu a slight jolt.
Looking around, the entire square was densely packed with people.
Tens of thousands of professional soldiers were arranged in extremely orderly square formations according to their respective military branches and professional characteristics.
The scene was completely silent, except for the fluttering of the military flags in the breeze.
You can't even hear any extra breathing sounds.
When Gu Xu appeared on the reviewing stand, tens of thousands of eyes immediately focused on him.
In those eyes, there was fervor, admiration, and hope for the future.
Admittedly, this guy in front of me looks so young.
But many of them had personally witnessed how Gu Xu single-handedly defied the gods and utterly crushed them.
To them, Gu Xu is a living legend.
He simply stood there, doing nothing.
But the sharpness he exuded was something that no amount of flowery language could conceal.
For a moment, the square was completely silent.
Gu Xu gently tapped the microphone in front of him to make sure it was working properly before slowly speaking, "It's a pleasure to see you all!"
"I am Gu Xu, the first legion commander of the Calamity Army."
Without any preface or boastful achievements, just this simple sentence, the soldiers below the stage suddenly straightened their backs.
Get ready to listen attentively to this legendary figure's speech.
"Of course, I've probably been showing my face a lot lately, and you're probably tired of seeing it by now, so I don't need to give a long self-introduction."
"You know who I am and what I've done, that's enough."
However, Gu Xu's next words caused the soldiers to chuckle.
The initial tension from facing a legendary figure dissipated considerably after those two sentences.
