In Wild King City, it has recently been rumored that the feng shui of this place is exceptionally good. Why is that? Of course, it is due to the presence of many noble individuals visiting here. Not long ago, a Lord of the Nation came to this place, followed by a Commander who commands hundreds of thousands of the Qin Army. If there weren't an excellent feng shui site here, such noble figures would certainly not be drawn to it.
During the days of waiting for the elite of the Qin Army to arrive, rumors about the feng shui reached Luzi. He merely smiled at them and chose to ignore them. The time was nearly up, yet he had not received any reports from the scattered scouts around.
Just as he wondered whether the two thousand troops mentioned by Wuan Jun might be false, he heard hurried footsteps in the courtyard. To ensure he could learn about the arrival of the troops at the first opportunity, Luzi had instructed the guards at the gate to allow scouts to enter directly without reporting.
Even if the sky were to fall outside, there was no need for such a rush! It seemed that reinforcements had arrived outside the city. Luzi excitedly looked at Sun Thirteen and Li Xin, our business has come!
"Report! To inform the General! Thirty miles from outside the city, we have discovered our Qin Army, with numbers exceeding twenty thousand!"
When the scout delivered this news, the three inside the room, who had been waiting anxiously, finally saw a glimmer of hope before dawn. They quickly tidied their clothes and prepared to head up to the city to welcome the arrival of the Qin Army.
Such a large movement from an army could not be hidden. As news spread that the main force of the Qin Army was about to arrive, people throughout the city eagerly anticipated what kind of momentum these so-called elite Boy Scouts would bring and rushed to share this news, flocking to the city walls in search of answers.
Of course, they still needed to carry their weapons with them. Losing such items would lead to consequences according to regulations. Moreover, having weapons nearby was beneficial in case the newcomers turned out to be enemies; they could easily engage in battle if necessary.
Thanks to the melting snow causing humid weather, there was no significant dust raised by the moving Troops. The clear weather allowed visibility over great distances. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared against the white snowy landscape, followed by a winding black line coming into view.
At this moment, it appeared as if there was a long black worm whose length was indeterminate. It was slowly wriggling and crawling forward. This creature with an extraordinarily long body had a very clear target: it was headed straight for the multitude gathered on the walls of Wild King City.
It was hard to say exactly how long this creature was. The head had already approached Wild King City, while its tail had yet to emerge. The Boy Scouts were seeing such a shocking sight for the first time and exchanged glances in astonishment. What they did not realize was that when they followed King Zhao of Qin to Wild King City, they had witnessed something similar; however, they could not see it clearly because they were part of it at that time.
The main force arriving at Wild King City belonged to General Lu, so it would not make sense for any general to come out and greet his own troops. As Luzi watched the endless stream of Troops approaching slowly, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of reassurance.
What are the Elite Forces of the army!? Of course, they are not comparable to the group of Elite Soldiers on the City Wall! That is a formation charging towards the enemy, neither chaotic nor retreating, completely a group of Bronze Warriors who do not know what life and death are. It cannot be said that one can take on a hundred in battle, but at least one can take on ten without doubt.
Luzi saw that the vanguard of the Qin Army was approaching and called everyone to prepare to open the city gates to welcome them. Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a complete silence in the previously chaotic surroundings.
Li Xin was sharp-eyed and had already noticed that something was off with the Troops that had come this time. Realizing that everyone else had also noticed this situation, he hurriedly grabbed the arm of General Lu, saying, "General! You should take a look at our elite forces first; how could it be like this?"
It should be like that!? Lu Zichao carefully observed the vanguard of the Troops below the city and told Li Xin that this situation was quite normal. The Qin Army does not have a formal retirement system; as long as one is physically fit, they should participate in combat. Although those who attain a rank above level nine do not need to serve in the military anymore, those who have been accustomed to military life find it difficult to adapt back to civilian life. Therefore, most still retain their military positions and hope to accompany the army into battle for the glory of King Qin.
The Military Merit Reward given by the state inspires soldiers to fight bravely in battle, and these seasoned generals and soldiers are treasures within the army. If these valuable individuals wish to remain in the Military, it is certainly something to be desired. This has led to the presence of veteran Veterans in various combat units, making it indeed a normal occurrence.
Even if Wild King City is large, there is still a capacity limit. The main force of the arriving Qin Army exceeds twenty thousand, so they can only be stationed outside the city. Fortunately, this area belongs to the rear of the Qin Army, so there is no need to worry about unexpected issues arising. Supplies such as food and equipment are naturally abundant since there are plenty of provisions within the city.
Arranging tens of thousands of people is not as simple as just throwing together some supplies; everything from food supply at the Mess Hall to weapon distribution must be done step by step. Moreover, since this main force of the Qin Army did not come from the front lines, most of their required weapons and equipment must be obtained from within the city.
Fortunately, with Fan Chenglong in charge within the city, Luzi decided to leave all these issues to this capable individual. He informed Fan Koutou not to rush and that he could give him three days to complete it.
Fan Chenglong, counting on his fingers, stated that military affairs were urgent and did not require three days. If nothing went wrong in between, it could be completed in at most twenty hours. However, there was one issue: the general needed to allocate more personnel for assistance. If they relied solely on the few people available in the warehouse, it would likely take a month to finish.
It is indeed hard to say whether there are other resources available from Luzi, but asking him for personnel would certainly yield results. At this moment, there were twenty thousand troops stationed outside the city, and there were still over ten thousand Boy Scouts inside. Just say how many you need!
Fan Chenglong quickly expressed that he would rather not use those outside since he wasn't too familiar with them. If General agreed for Your Excellency to find people from within the warehouse to help distribute armed supplies, only two hundred would suffice!
Immediately, Luzi instructed Li Xin to follow Fan Chenglong into various units stationed within the city to find personnel; anyone named must report immediately to the warehouse. They must assist Kuto in completing the task of equipping troops in the shortest time possible. After completing their work, they could return to their respective units with a certificate issued by Fan Koutou.
Since he had the general's military order in hand and was accompanied by Li Xin to find manpower, Fan Chenglong, who originally felt uncertain, immediately thought of giving Luzi a military order. However, Luzi waved his hand to indicate that it was completely unnecessary. If a person is dedicated to their work, they are worthy of trust even without a single word of promise.
