Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 341: Building a foundation and sending troops

Jin Renfeng's talent is already top-notch in the world, and now his cultivation speed has doubled again, so his strength will surely grow even faster.

In this way, the day of becoming the great demon king will never be too far away.

“But having said that, after the Innate Qi, I have reached another level. This new level should perhaps also be given a name.”

Jin Renfeng thought to himself.

After all, this was the realm of cultivation he had explored, and he couldn't just leave it empty without even a name.

"Foundation building?"

After some thought, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but recall a name from his previous life.

"Liquid mana, after Xiantian, is quite similar to the name of foundation building."

"Let's just decide on this name!"

In just a few words, he gave this realm a name.

. . . . . .

Two days later, reinforcements sent by the Taoist Alliance arrived at Jingyun City.

The three thousand monks not only made up for the casualties from last time, but also increased the army's strength by more than a thousand, reaching as many as fourteen thousand.

"With this batch of monks, we finally have enough strength to protect the defense line and counterattack the Southern Barbarians."

On the city wall, Elder Li, who was personally inspecting the army entering the city, was overjoyed.

"However, although there are many cultivators here, there are few strong ones, and the existence of demon kings is even more rare!"

General Li Changsu said on the side.

"Plus, many monks are joining the army for the first time and have never seen blood. If we send them out like this, I'm afraid their combat effectiveness will be worrying!"

Elder Li frowned, then waved his hand.
"I can't worry about that. The Southern Barbarians have suffered heavy losses, and the Demons have not yet provided reinforcements. This is a good opportunity to recover the lost territory!"

"Let everyone prepare for war. Three days later, I will send out all the troops to drive the Southern Barbarians out of our human territory in one fell swoop!"

"The last general takes command!"

Seeing Elder Li giving the order, the generals behind him bowed in response at the same time.

. . . . . .

With the addition of new soldiers, the army had a lot more manpower.

According to the previous arrangement, Elder Li directly assigned a thousand monks to Jin Renfeng and asked him to form two camps as his subordinate combat force.

"Elder Li is really good at giving me difficult questions!"

In the training ground, Jin Renfeng looked at the thousand monks in front of him and felt a headache.

After all, he was just a new recruit and was not familiar with military affairs.

As a result, Elder Li simply threw one thousand to him and let him start his own business.

It was simply a huge trouble for him.

"That's too much trust in me! I've only been here for less than a month!"

"Asking me to form an army is no different from asking primary school students to take the college entrance examination!"

Jin Renfeng complained in his heart.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, military orders were as heavy as a mountain and could not be disobeyed.

He could only bite the bullet and try to organize these new recruits.

"Zhao Yun, Guan Wen..."

Jin Renfeng pointed out several of his strengths.
"From today on, the five of you will serve as my captains, each commanding a city of soldiers!"

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

Zhao Yun and his five companions stepped out with excited expressions.

A city of soldiers is equivalent to a hundred monks. Before, they only managed ten people, but now it has increased to a hundred, which is ten times more.

In addition, he was promoted two levels from a sergeant to a captain, which can be said to be a quick promotion.

Jin Renfeng nodded. The strength of the captains was at the peak of the great demon level. With the weapons of half-step demon king level in the hands of Zhao Yun and the other four, it was definitely more than enough for them to serve as captains.

"Song He, Lu Yi, ......"

"The ten of you will serve as their captains, each leading fifty monks!"

"As for the rest of the soldiers, they can serve as squad leaders from today!"

Jin Renfeng made arrangements quickly.

The sergeant was promoted to the rank of captain. The platoon leader was promoted to the rank of captain. As for the soldiers below him, they were promoted to the sergeant.

All of them were promoted two levels.

Instantly, the entire camp was filled with joy. Getting promoted for no reason would make anyone happy.

Afterwards, Jin Renfeng divided the five hundred monks into five cities and ten teams, and assigned them one by one to his monks.

The organization of a battalion was established.

"Fortunately, Elder Li allowed me to take all of my personal guards with me, otherwise this would have been really difficult!"

After assigning a battalion of soldiers, Jin Renfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He personally formed the personal guard team, and had experienced life and death before, and showed kindness to them.

With people from the personal guard corps serving as military officers at all levels, even if they can't fight tough battles, at least their loyalty will be no problem.

There is no hindrance in commanding.

He then turned his attention to the remaining 500 recruits.

"But this other battalion has no manpower left!"

Jin Renfeng frowned.

Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. There are only fifty people in the personal guard team. No matter what they do, it is impossible to conjure people out of thin air.

"Are we going to promote people from the new recruits?"

Jin Renfeng thought to himself, and then shook his head.

The experience gap between new recruits and old soldiers is too big. If a group of new recruits are allowed to serve as military attachés, the soldiers in this battalion may not even understand the orders.

"It seems that we have to find other ways to get the rest of the manpower."

Jin Renfeng said secretly in his heart.

"Brother Kim!"

At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded

Jin Renfeng turned around and saw Li Hu and Lu Tietou leading dozens of people towards this side.

"Brother Li, how come Brother Lu has time to come to my place?"

Seeing the two of them, Jin Renfeng smiled.

"General Jin, please don't say that. We are different now. I can't stand you calling me that."

Lu Tietou walked up to the young man and smiled.

"I came here this time on the orders of Elder Li to be transferred to the general's command!"

"To put it simply, I just want to hang out with you."

Li Hu spread his hands nonchalantly.

"I was kicked out of the personal guard camp by the elders. I had nowhere to go, so I thought of coming here to help you."

"Why, are you welcome?"

"I am very happy that you two brothers are willing to help me!"

Jin Renfeng laughed and said,
"I'm short of manpower right now, and having these two helpers can help me out of my urgent need."

"Then what position will you give us? If it's lower than that, we won't do it!"

Li Hu pretended to hesitate.

"Now I have the second battalion of trap formation and demon-suppressing battalion under my command!"

Jin Renfeng bowed and said,

"How about asking Brother Li to be the Captain of the Piercing Formations and Brother Lu to be the Captain of the Subduing Demons, and each of them to lead a battalion?"

Li Hu nodded.

"Not bad, it seems you haven't treated us unfairly!"

Lu Tietou on the side said,

"General's orders, I will obey!"

The two agreed, and Jin Renfeng was quite satisfied.

Li Hu is from the Li family. Although he was just a captain before, he possesses the magic weapon of the Demon King. He is more than qualified to be a captain of the vanguard and lead a battalion.

As for Lu Tietou, he was a captain before, so it was only natural for him to command a battalion. Although he had a history of withholding salary, he was indeed good at training soldiers.

Currently, the monks who have joined the army lack training. With his joining, they will definitely be able to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

However, in order to avoid conflict between him and Zhao Yun and others, he deliberately separated him from the Xianzhen Camp.

"When I left before, the elder also asked me to bring out a group of my subordinates, a total of fifty people. General Jin, take a look at what we should do with them?" Then, Li Hu pointed at the person behind him and said.

Upon hearing this, Jin Renfeng immediately released his spiritual consciousness and checked the cultivation magic weapons of the people behind him.

Among the soldiers, the squad leaders all had great demon magic weapons, and their strength was at the peak of the small demon level. After that, the sergeants also had great demon magic weapons and had great demon combat power.

"As expected of someone who came from the personal guard camp, the level of his magic weapon and his cultivation strength are both one level higher than those of cultivators of the same level."

Sensing the strength of the cultivators, Jin Renfeng sighed in his heart.

Although these people are one level lower than his subordinates trained with the Ruyi Weapon Refining Method, they are still at the top level among mortal cultivators.

"Does General Jin think highly of my subordinates?"

Li Hu smiled.

"Brother Li, this has helped me a lot!"

Jin Renfeng sighed. He could see clearly that these monks were sent by Elder Li to help him.

"Since these people came with Brother Li, how about giving them all a two-level promotion?"

Jin Renfeng took the initiative to suggest.

Since the Li family took the initiative to help him, he naturally would not let these cultivators suffer any injustice.

He then followed the example given to his own family members and promoted them all by two levels.

"Two promotions? Brother, you are so loyal!"

Li Hu looked delighted.

His original plan was to let his squad leader become a team leader, but he didn't expect the other party to be so generous and directly promoted him by two levels.

"As long as Brother Li is satisfied!"

Jin Renfeng laughed and said,
"But my camp is full. I'm afraid the subordinates brought by Brother Li can only be placed in the Demon-Subduing Camp and handed over to Brother Lu for command!"

"It doesn't matter. Since they have joined your side, they will naturally obey your orders!"

Li Hu waved his hand.

"There's no point in following me!"

Jin Renfeng nodded.

With the men brought by Li Hu, it was just enough to gather another battalion of military officers.

"The military officer quotas for the two battalions are now full, and the general structure has been built."

"The next step is to select a group of sergeants and improve the army system!"

. . . . . .

After the selection of military officers was completed, the two battalions of monks were officially incorporated into Jin Renfeng's command.

For three consecutive days, the two camps were conducting intensive training.

Lu Tietou was indeed an expert in training soldiers. In just three days, he had taught various marching instructions to the soldiers of the two battalions.

Some formations were also practiced quite well.

"With this, we have the basic combat capability. I think it shouldn't be a problem to go to the battlefield."

Looking at the group of soldiers, Jin Renfeng spoke.

"I'm afraid the general is wrong!"

Lu Tietou on the side shook his head.

"These new recruits are just for show. If they were to fight the demons, I'm afraid they would be scared to death at the sight of blood."

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Jin Renfeng frowned slightly.
"Monks often fight each other. These new recruits are all monks, so they shouldn't be afraid of fighting!"

"That's different!"

Lu Tietou shook his head.

"Normally, when monks fight, it's just a fight between humans no matter what."

"But this time we are fighting against the demons! And it's a life-and-death battle!"

"The human race's hinterland is stable, and the demon race is rare!"

"These new recruits have rarely seen what a demon race looks like! Not to mention fighting against a demon race."

"Faced with the vicious demon tribe, they are lucky not to turn around and run away."

"It's better to expect pie to fall from the sky than to expect them to fight."

Jin Renfeng showed a worried look on his face. Now that the war was imminent, if these new recruits could not quickly form combat effectiveness, then not many of the thousands of men would survive.

"General, don't worry. After all, their magical powers are not bad. What they lack is just experience and knowledge."

Li Hu on the side persuaded.

"The battlefield is a place where people are tempered. Even if you are not very good at it, after two or three actual battles and facing life and death, you will know what it is like!"

"By then we won't need to practice, they will be formed on their own!"

"That's all we can do!"

Jin Renfeng nodded.

There is no extra time for training now, so we can only train while fighting and rely on the pressure of war to hone these new recruits.

"But the first few times, let everyone be careful and don't rush too far forward."

"All captains and captains should also do their best to protect one or two soldiers and ensure the safety of all soldiers."

Jin Renfeng gave detailed instructions.

He had just obtained 2,000 soldiers, and he didn't want to be left alone after fighting a battle.

“We can save this.”

Lu Tietou responded in a serious tone.

"To be honest, with us new recruits, I'm afraid even if we take the initiative to fight a tough battle, Elder Li won't be willing to do so."

Li Hu smiled and said,

"The situation on the battlefield is critical, and the elders are worried that we will make mistakes!"

Jin Renfeng nodded.

After hearing what Li Hu said, he felt much more relieved.

dong dong dong-

Just as the three were chatting, they heard a drum sound in the city!
The sound was deep and deep, like a landslide.

"This is the war drum of the central army! It seems that it is time to send troops!"

Jin Renfeng reacted and said to Li Hu and Lu Tietou,

"You two, gather your troops immediately and prepare for battle."

Li Hu and Lu Tietou said yes and immediately went to prepare the soldiers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a thousand monks lined up.

Just at this moment, a messenger holding a token came flying over and said,

"The elders have given orders!"

"General Dang Kou, please lead your soldiers to the city square to join us!"

Jin Renfeng responded and immediately took two battalions of monks and the messenger and flew towards the center of Jingyun City.

Thousands of people rose up like a big net.

At the same time, cultivators from all over Jingyun City continued to rise into the air, all heading towards the center of the city.

The tens of thousands of troops were like a black curtain, covering the sky of the entire city.

The entire Jingyun City fell into darkness.

Arriving at the city square, Jin Renfeng, under the guidance of the messenger soldier, found the location of his own army and landed.

Around it, monks from various camps were hurrying over.

Jin Renfeng stood between the two camps, waiting quietly.

Soon, the army of 10,000 people had assembled, and the entire camp was filled with monks.

A moment later, a large flag embroidered with the word "Li" was erected on the top of the city wall.

Under his command were Elder Li and five generals.

After taking a quick look at the army below the city, Elder Li stepped forward, stood on the top of the city wall, and said passionately,

"Everyone, the demon race is unjust! They have repeatedly offended our human race."

"My people have been tortured and are suffering terribly."

"Today, I am gathering an army to conquer and recover the lost territory and return our land to the human race."

"Do you dare to fight with me?"
