Concluding his calculations, he chose to stay true to his philosophy.
"The best of them will be the priority."
"They will have to take a beating in the meantime until either Aegon or Maris defeats their opponents."
Wu Tu stayed silence as his lord mumbled to himself.
Looking up at the teenager, Zhou Zhou said.
"Sound the bell and have your team ensure every civilian is within the boundary of the city."
"The military's reserve unit will also assist you."
"Go."
"Yes, my lord."
Wu Tu bowed before running out of the sitting room.
"I should start moving."
Zhou Zhou draped his jacket over his shoulder before vanishing.
.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Get moving!"
Huang Sai threw the cards in his hands away as he sprang to his feet.
"You all know the drill."
Sun Can said to soldiers in the reserve unit before chasing after Huang Sai and Qin We.
.
"Who the fuck is attacking us at this time?!"
"I have a party to host!"
Remiel complained while flying towards the entrance of the city.
.
"Lu Chong."
Appearing inside the spear demon's apartment, Zhou Zhou called.
Sitting cross-legged, Lu Chong's eyes were closed as he inherited the memories contained in the divine spark fragment.
"I should've waited still night time before handing him the fragment."
"I hope he wakes up in the next one hour."
Zhou Zhou muttered before teleporting away.
.
"Commander, do you have an idea why the bell was rung?"
Zhang Xiang asked as Bai Yung landed in front of the city's barriers.
"100,000 kobold troops are riding towards the city."
"We're likely to face our fourth toughest battle ever."
Bai Yung said to hearing of his soldiers.
He'd gone to confirm who rang the bell and why they did.
In doing that, he heard from Wu Tu about the attack from the Nether Bark Kingdom.
"It's that serious?"
"Damn. I don't want to die again."
Huang Sai said.
"You've been killed before?!"
Hearing Huang Sai, the newly recruited soldiers were shocked.
"How are you still alive, then?"
Jeremy asked.
"The lord brought us back to life."
"Although, I don't think it will be the same this time."
Huang Sai replied.
"Us?"
"Hold on a minute, you all have died in battle before?"
The young elemental archer stared at Huang Sai and Co. in disbelief.
"Is it that dangerous being a soldier of the First Army?"
Bianca turned towards Monica.
"There's always a risk of death in every battle."
Monica replied.
"Except you guys died."
"That isn't a risk anymore, it's a certainty."
Remiel said with a frown.
He didn't like the odd of dying in battle against his chance of being resurrected.
"We're the protectors of the city."
Bai Yung said, silencing every murmur from the new soldiers.
"It doesn't matter how difficult the battles we face are, as long as we're breathing, our weapons we always be pointed at the enemy."
"If you can't accept that, go hide inside your homes."
He stared straight at the newly recruited soldiers as he said.
"You heard your commander."
Appearing in front of his soldiers, Zhou Zhou stared at Remiel.
"If you aren't up for the task, give up now and choose a different profession."
"You are all eligible for the offer."
He added while moving his gaze across the new recruits.
Going silence, Remiel and Co. made their choice.
They would put their lives on the line for the sake of their lord and their future.
"Good. Now for those who haven't reached Yellow gold-tier, come forward."
Zhou Zhou once none of the new recruits chose to leave the army.
As for the reason he decided to eat into his stock of promotion energy, it was to prevent the new recruits from dying.
Currently he had only three items that could resurrect his soldiers.
Two of them were the battle resurrection scrolls he got during the Supreme Challenge.
The other was the Holy Spirit faith-tier divine crystal.
The good thing about the battle resurrection scroll was that it could resurrect his entire soldiers as long as they fell in battle.
While the Holy Spirit faith-tier divine crystal could only be used to resurrect one soldier.
And they shouldn't exceed White platinum-tier.
Meaning Lu Chong couldn't be resurrected by the divine crystal due to the limitation of Carol's level.
Adhering to the instruction of their lord, a total of nine soldiers stepped forward.
Among the recruits, Remiel was the only that has reached Yellow gold-tier.
After spending 2,086,775 Promotion energy, Zhou Zhou brought the level of the nine soldiers to the Yellow gold-tier elementary grade.
'It's a good thing I haven't given them the hero inheritances.'
'I would've needed twice the amount of promotion energy.'
He thought as he watched the soldiers get used to their new strength.
With them having at least one kingdom-tier skill, it wasn't difficult to control their strength.
