Chapter 781 Military Region History, Possibility of Leading the Army (4K)
Base Three, Secret Realm, New Recruits Training Camp.
Within one of the training fields, many high-order strongmen from all over Tai Xuan were training hard here, sweating profusely.
A fourth-order strongman walked out from among the flames of the Lava Flow Region, still wanting more.
"This training camp for new recruits is just too good, it's not so much training as it is a privilege."
"Yes, besides the necessary resonance exercises and command learning in new recruit training, the other optional trainings are basically perks. Here, various Miracle Buildings can be used almost for free, where else can you find such conditions! No wonder so many people become completely transformed after a trip to the war zones."
"It's a bit of a pity that we can only stay in the new recruits training camp for a maximum of three months, why not extend it to half a year or a year?"
"Right you are, elder brother, we rookies should really train hard."
A few third and fourth-order strongmen discussed sweatily.
But someone disagreed with this view, "New recruit training... in the end we're just ordinary warriors, wouldn't it be better to go through the assessments earlier? As long as we pass the assessment, what kind of privilege can't we enjoy?"
"Indeed, once you pass, you get to command a legion and also enjoy the thrill of commanding a vast array of troops. In the future, you might even receive a Lord's Heart and become a true Top-level Lord."
None of them were truly new soldiers from Hangu Mountain battle zone; they had arrived here a few months earlier to serve and were stationed here.
At that time, the situation was intense, and as soon as the new recruits arrived, they were sent to guard core fortresses and various bases, having no time for additional training or to go through assessments.
In status, they were still ordinary soldiers in the war zone. Some had distinguished themselves during their previous stationing, already advancing to the 'Elite' status. But if they could perform outstandingly in new recruit training and assessments, this combined with their past achievements could make them even more likely to assume important positions, or even command a legion.
"Command a legion?"
A muscular hunk with bare arms scoffed, "Don't be ridiculous, only those ranked in the top thirty or even top twenty or top ten in the new recruit assessments might leap from being a new recruit directly to a 'Commanding Battalion Chief' or even a 'Regional Commander'. For us mere Fourth-orders, at most we'd be 'Squad Leaders'."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The muscular hunk was daunting, clearly a peak warrior among the fourth-order.
As he spoke, the few people around him didn't dare to utter a word of objection.
The group had some self-awareness; becoming a high-ranking officer like a Regional Commander, responsible for an entire region and army, was something they naturally wouldn't dare dream of.
Suddenly, the flames in the Lava Flow Region parted, and a tall youth with short hair that seemed to blaze like fire challenged the muscular giant, raising an eyebrow,
"What about me, do I qualify to be a Regional Commander?"
"You? Same answer, no chance."
Without any hesitation, the muscular giant denied him.
The red-haired youth suddenly got fired up, flames burning all around him, and the flames seemed to surge up and down with his breath, "I've been in this training camp for two weeks, and I haven't seen many who can beat me conclusively, and you're no exception."
The muscular giant sneered, "When did I ever say that I could become a commander, listen up, kid..."
...
"Listen up, little sister, the waters of this new recruits training camp are very deep, beyond your grasp."
In another part of the Scorching Flames training area,
A woman with a flame mark on her forehead was naked and soaking in the searing liquid, which resembled magma. She seemed as if she were in a hot spring, the scalding flow unable to leave even the slightest trace on her fair skin.
A short distance away on the ground, a girl merely enduring the baking heat of the earth was already red-cheeked and drenched in sweat.
Scorching Flames smiled and said, "Do you think, because you haven't seen many from the Legendary Realm here, you're already one of the top warriors just below the legendary level?"
The girl nodded involuntarily.
Scorching Flames continued, "That's because the assessment time hasn't come yet, and the mandatory training for recruits is only so much, right? Some from the Legendary Realm wait until the eve of the assessments before they arrive at the Great War Zone, and others are here but just don't show up in the training areas."
But the girl still didn't understand; this was a training camp for new recruits.
Shouldn't those who enter here be 'Greenhands' who haven't served or trained in the Great War Zone? The appearance of one or two from the Legendary Realm among such 'Greenhands' would already be quite a lot.
The girl shared her thoughts.
Scorching Flames replied, "Your thoughts aren't wrong. Like me, someone from the Legendary Realm who previously worked at the association and now transferred to war zone work, is indeed very rare. Most legends would have completed their new recruit training during their third-order or fourth-order days, but..."
"But that's under normal circumstances, legends from Top-level domains are not included. Many Top-level Lords, once they recruit Epic troops, would conceal and silently nurture them. These Epic Strong would not be recorded in the Dragon Gate Ranking, their first public appearance is in the Great War Zone."
Comparing herself to these legends with Epic Ranks, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Even I can't guarantee that I can defeat those 'Rookie Legends,' do you still feel confident?"
The girl was taken aback.
The waters here were indeed deep; why were there so many big shots in the new recruits training camp!
But it seemed this place was intended for sharks, and they were just tiny shrimps, far too insignificant.
...
New Recruits Training Camp, temporary residence.
Mu Yuan put down a thick stack of books, "These books, these are what I'm going to delve into for the next while."
