Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 132: Commander-in-Chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps

"Also, since you've officially left the T09-AZ-326 Plane Cluster, I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Hearing this, Chi Yan frowned. She knew that Kane wanted to assign her some positions again.

Long before this, she had repeatedly rejected appointments from the kingdom's top leaders and even Kane himself.

However, the situation this time is different from the past. As Kane said, she has officially left the T09-AZ-326 plane group after all, and has no plans to go back in the short term.

Before, she had always refused various appointments from the kingdom on the grounds that she had been staying in the main plane and needed to help the entire plane group recover its vitality and was too busy to do anything else.

But this time she definitely couldn't refuse so easily. After all, she was still a member of the Kingdom of Dawn and one of the high-ranking officials in the military system. She couldn't be too willful.

Ever since he officially joined the Kingdom of Dawn, he has been receiving training from the Kingdom, and with the power bestowed by God, he was able to finally grow to his current height.

Even now, the kingdom is still devoting all its efforts to self-cultivation and is willing to use the whole country's strength to promote the smooth implementation of the world upgrading plan.

He should also give something in return, instead of accepting the kingdom's support with a clear conscience, but refusing to take on more responsibilities simply because of his own interests.

Thinking of this, Chi Yan no longer hesitated and looked at Kane with a firm gaze: "Please tell me, as long as it is what the kingdom needs, I will do my best."

"Don't worry, it's not as exaggerated as you think."

Kane smiled and spoke to dispel some of Chi Yan's concerns.

He also wanted to train Chi Yan as his successor.

Just like His Majesty Adam had devoted all his efforts to training me before, when he officially becomes the king of the kingdom, there will definitely be someone who will take over some of my current positions.

Sooner or later, he will retreat behind the scenes like His Majesty Adam, and by then a new king will be needed to lead the Kingdom of Dawn forward.

At present, the cradle of life still only has locally born intelligent life living in it.

But Kane knew this phenomenon would not last forever.

At some point in the future, there will definitely be more non-native intelligent life living in the cradle of life.

Kane also didn't think that the throne of the Kingdom of Dawn must be held by the Winged People or other native intelligent life forms in the cradle of life.

If Chi Yan had that idea, Kane wouldn't mind making her one of the candidates for the third king of the Kingdom of Dawn.

It’s a pity that Chi Yan doesn’t seem to have any interest in this, and Kane has no intention of forcing him.

After all, he himself has not yet officially become the second king of the Kingdom of Dawn, and it is still a long way to go before the third king appears.

There is no need to rush. A suitable successor will be found sooner or later.

"Do you know the 'Glory Expeditionary Corps'?"

In response to Kane's question, Chi Yan nodded: "The 'Glory Expeditionary Corps' and the 'Holy Angel Corps' are both major components of the kingdom's external conquests."

"good."

After hearing Chi Yan's answer, Kane continued, "In the beginning, the kingdom's only army responsible for external wars was the Holy Angel Legion.

That is, there are many top-notch guard corps and epic corps composed entirely of native residents of the Cradle of Life.

The Glory Expedition Corps originated from the Glory Expedition Plan.

The original purpose of this plan was simply to train a group of auxiliary troops for the Holy Angel Legion to follow the Holy Angel Legion in foreign expeditions.

After all, although the Holy Angel Legion is powerful, it still has the disadvantage of being relatively small in number.

This is not really a disadvantage, but in the process of foreign wars, the kingdom's army needs to face more than just enemies.

Some things cannot be solved through simple legion fighting.

At this time, the disadvantage of the Holy Angel Legion's small number of people became more obvious.

It often results in a waste of manpower or the need to face the dilemma of insufficient manpower.

In order to solve this problem, we have specially launched the "Glory Expedition Plan" and plan to select talents from various worlds.

Form a glorious expeditionary corps and follow the Holy Angel Corps in external conquests."

Hearing this, Chi Yan nodded in due time: "So that's how it is."

As far as she knew, the Holy Angel Legions within the Kingdom of Dawn were organized into groups of 5,000 people, forming a basic legion.

In the process of foreign wars, these basic legions basically acted together and rarely separated, which would lead to a significant reduction in their overall combat effectiveness.

In the T09-AZ-326 plane group, the army of the Kingdom of Dawn is here to help the local forces fight against the abyss, and naturally can get their full support.

Basically, you don’t need to think about too many things, just focus on clearing the traces of the abyss.

However, in normal foreign wars, the army of the Kingdom of Dawn not only needs to defeat those local forces first, but also inevitably needs to maintain the stability of the areas they have conquered.

At least before the entire plane is officially incorporated into the rule of the Kingdom of Dawn, a lot of extra manpower and material resources will be needed to maintain stability in various major areas.

It is indeed a waste to let the warriors of the Holy Angel Legion do this kind of thing.

At this time, the role of the Glory Expeditionary Corps is reflected.

Chi Yan then asked Kane, "You mentioned the Glory Expeditionary Corps. Do you want me to join it?"

"That's it."

Kane nodded, and then continued, "To be precise, I hope you can serve as the commander-in-chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps and take charge of all its internal affairs.

You also know that the original intention of establishing the Glory Expeditionary Corps was just to assist the Holy Angel Corps.

We don't actually have any high expectations for their combat effectiveness.

After all, they are not like the Holy Angel Legion. After forming a legion battle formation, every soldier can communicate with each other and greatly enhance the combat power of all soldiers.

Although the Glory Expeditionary Corps also has legion battle formations, its effectiveness is still far inferior to that of the Holy Angel Corps.

In addition, there is an obvious gap in individual strength between the warriors, even after they have gone through multiple almost harsh selections.

The combat effectiveness of the basic legion in the Glory Expeditionary Legion can only be ranked in the middle position among the Royal Guard Legion.

However, as the group of God's Favored Ones continues to be born in many worlds, there has always been a steady stream of God's Favored Ones joining the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

As a special group that has awakened certain powers, the potential of each of God's favored ones is immeasurable.

Their joining also injected more vitality into the Glory Expeditionary Corps and raised the upper limits of many legions. Under the blessing of these gods, some of the most top-notch basic legions were born within the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

These legions can be compared with the basic legions among the Holy Angel Legion, or even surpass them.

The reason I want to ask for your help is also related to these top-level basic legions."

"What does it mean?"

Chi Yan asked with some confusion.

Kane looked at Chi Yan and said calmly, "The pursuit of higher power and status can be said to be the instinct of intelligent life.

Even within the Cradle of Life, competition between and within various departments is inevitable.

This is not a bad thing. After all, competition within a reasonable range can better motivate them.

However, it is not so easy to ensure that this competition always stays within a reasonable range and does not evolve into mutual infighting.

The original Glory Expeditionary Corps was trained only as an auxiliary force of the Holy Angel Corps.

But by now, the size of the Glory Expeditionary Corps has far surpassed that of the Holy Angel Corps, reaching millions.

An army of this size can no longer be simply regarded as an auxiliary force.

Therefore, decades ago, the Glory Expeditionary Corps became independent and became another important part of the military system.

Unlike the Holy Angel Legion, the warriors of the Glory Expeditionary Legion come from hundreds of different worlds.

This has led to a more complicated internal situation and more intense competition.

A large number of different factions have even evolved within the current Glory Expeditionary Corps.

These factions are also competing with each other, hoping to gain more resource support and higher status from the kingdom.

Originally, this was not a big problem. The key point was that within the Glory Expeditionary Corps, there had never been a person of sufficient weight.

In other words, no one can control the many factions within it. The kingdom can directly send people over, but there has never been any suitable candidate.

After all, the appointment from the kingdom alone is not enough to convince the top brass of the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

If one wants to secure the position of commander-in-chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps, one's own strength and prestige are also essential.

But there are not many people in the kingdom who meet this condition.

Ordinary transcendents are definitely not qualified, and even transcendents who have embarked on the road to legend may not be able to suppress them.

Without the support of the legion's battle formation, those generals might not be a match for some of the high-ranking officials within the Glory Expeditionary Legion.

It is also impossible for the kingdom to directly arrange an epic legion from the Holy Angel Legion to join the Glory Expedition Legion.

As for arranging a legendary extraordinary person from the military system or other fields to join it, that is even more impossible.

The kingdom currently does not have such a large number of legendary transcendents, and the responsibilities undertaken by each legendary transcendent are far greater than the position of commander-in-chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

After much deliberation, there was no suitable candidate, and the relevant appointment was never made.

But this matter cannot be dragged on like this. The current Glory Expeditionary Corps has already given rise to many factions. If there is no real leader to maintain the internal balance.

It won’t be long before a situation that no one wants to see will emerge.

It just so happens that you have left the T09-AZ-326 plane group and have no plans to go back in the short term.

It is no exaggeration to say that you are the most suitable candidate at the moment, no doubt about it.

Although you are still somewhat unknown in the kingdom, only many high-ranking officials are familiar with you. In addition, you do not have a very high prestige in the military system.

But with the support of absolute strength, you are fully qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

I know you have no interest in these things, and I don't intend to force you.

However, the conflicts within the Glory Expeditionary Corps are becoming increasingly intense. In order to prevent it from getting completely out of control, a leader with absolute status is indeed needed to guide it.

If you are really not interested, you only need to stay in the Glory Expeditionary Corps for a while.

After you've eliminated some destabilizing factors and established your absolute authority, you can then choose a suitable successor to take over your position as commander-in-chief."

Kane's tone remained calm, and he had full confidence in Chi Yan.

He also knew that in the T09-AZ-326 plane group, Chi Yan was an agent of the world's will that could be compared with gods.

On the Dawn Kingdom side, although Chi Yan had no qualifications, it would be difficult for him to convince the people by being directly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

The senior officials within the Glory Expeditionary Corps would certainly not be so easy to express absolute obedience to him.

But these are irrelevant. With the support of absolute strength, many things will become very simple, especially in the military.

It won’t take long for Chi Yan to establish his absolute prestige in the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

After that, just spend some time to resolve the factional issues within the Glory Expeditionary Corps, and the mission will be completed.

Even if the second commander-in-chief does not have the absolute prestige like Chi Yan, he can at least stabilize the situation within the Glory Expeditionary Corps and prevent it from completely getting out of control.

If this continues from generation to generation, the situation within the entire Glory Expeditionary Corps can be completely stabilized.

The main problem with the current Glory Expeditionary Corps is that it was established too recently and has developed too quickly.

They were originally the top talents selected from many worlds, and they received full support from many worlds and even extra support from the Cradle of Life.

In just over a hundred years, the Glory Expeditionary Corps has grown from nothing to a behemoth.

If we don't count those epic legions, even the Holy Angel Legion would find it very difficult to deal with the entire Glory Expedition Legion.

Kane could already foresee that at some point in the future, the strength of the Glory Expeditionary Corps might officially surpass that of the Holy Angel Corps and become the main force of the Kingdom of Dawn's external conquests.

Therefore, it is very necessary to lay various foundations for the Glory Expeditionary Corps in advance.

"so what have you thought of."

Kane's voice once again reached Chi Yan's ears.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yan stood up from his seat, walked all the way to the other party, bowed and said, "I will do my best and will not let you and the kingdom down."
