Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

"kill!"

"kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the parade ground, soldiers from five battalions were training hard under Ye Ming's leadership.

They brandished their spears and shouted battle cries, their bodies drenched in sweat. Many of them had trembling arms, but they gritted their teeth and remained silent, following Ye Ming to complete the training.

"Very good! That concludes today's training. We'll have an extra meal tonight, everyone get ready!"

Whoosh, whoosh, thud!

Upon hearing the order to end the training, all the soldiers swiftly and decisively sheathed their spears in unison.

"Yes, sir!"

A thunderous, unanimous response always stirs the heart.

Even officers of all ranks who knew what they would face tomorrow were full of confidence after seeing the state of themselves and the soldiers around them!

With such a disciplined army, they have no reason to lose!

Ye Ming stood shirtless on the stage, holding a halberd in his hand. He had kept his promise and would train with the soldiers when they trained.

"Very good, you've already acquired a certain level of combat capability. Now it's time to draw blood..."

After nearly a month of selection and training, the farm soldiers in front of us are all elites who have been selected through layers of selection!

They were strong and healthy, and completed all the training that Ye Ming had set out for them, forging a strong will through arduous trials.

With the addition of officers at all levels, the 4230 men of this prefecture had become a fighting force.

They can fight with loads of over 100 pounds without slowing down, can draw the hardest bow, can fight five against one, and can wield a sword weighing over 100 pounds!

Furthermore, Ye Ming selected two thousand men as reserves. In the event of battle casualties, these reserve soldiers would immediately take their comrades' armor, put on their armor, and take their weapons to charge again!

At the same time, a conscripted agricultural auxiliary force was reorganized, divided into ten battalions, and then replenished to ten thousand men.

This auxiliary agricultural force was not a special agricultural settlement unit as before, but rather operated on a rotational basis. The ten battalions took turns training, and those who were not trained went to build fortified villages and farmland within the city walls of the military camp area.

Those who failed to be selected were naturally reassigned to the agricultural service.

However, Ye Ming also provided a path for promotion: either accumulate merit by farming or earn battle merits on the battlefield. At the same time, a martial arts competition will be held every three months, and the winner will be promoted to the reserve team.

Yes, the reserve team is not a fixed quota but an active one!

At the same time, not only this elite regular army, but also the pay of the agricultural troops has been increased to some extent.

After opening up channels for advancement and improving salaries and benefits, everyone in the Titan Territory was eager to join in and work for Ye Ming!

Of course, Ye Ming didn't need them to risk their lives; he just wanted them to live with a semblance of humanity in this cruel world.

As for the bloodshed, it was because three days ago, the increasingly powerful greenskin tribe of Waaagh, due to the large number of goblins, allowed the goblins to establish a new camp on the outskirts of the mountains.

This camp is too close to the Titan Territory's edge fortress, making it difficult to defend, so it needs to be taken out first.

The soldiers needed training, so we'll use these as whetstones for the first battle, and also gather some materials to create ghouls and zombies.

At the same time, Ye Ming also consulted his family's retainer, asking if they could make some explosives for emergencies.

This matter also had a good outcome; a month was enough time for the family's enshrined alchemists to refine and forge weapons!

After completing today's training, Ye Ming secretly went to the cave in the back mountain.

This cave is very secluded and was used by Ye Ming as a temporary storage point. The ghouls and zombies he created earlier are still here.

Strangely enough, the ghouls and zombies created by the power of the King in Yellow have not been detected by the power of Nurgle, and there are still no signs of corruption. They are still being controlled by Ye Ming through the Spirit Manifestation Talisman.

During this time, the ghouls retain the appearance they had when they died, maintaining their vitality by consuming flesh and blood.

In the Cthulhu universe, ghouls are humanoid monsters with rubbery skin, dog-like faces, hoof-like feet, and sharp claws. They often move forward hunched over and make rapid, shrill noises from time to time.

The ghouls transformed from the corpse of the orc boy through a ritual only had changes in skin color and condition, and grew sharp claws; the rest of their bodies remained unchanged.

It can understand Ye Ming's commands, and it will hunt and fight based on instinct even when Ye Ming does not give the order.

In other words, this orc boy ghoul, apart from lacking obvious self-awareness, not only retains the fighting ability that orcs should have, but also possesses the speed and claws of a ghoul, as well as some of the orc's combat memories from his previous life!

Moreover, they will not be corrupted by Nurgle or other forms of chaos, and are unlikely to be controlled by necromancy. They are simply the perfect source of cannon fodder!

Compared to the ghoul, the walking corpse was in a much worse state.

Because of the extreme heat, the zombie's body had begun to decompose, maggots had grown on the wound on its neck, and its body tissues had begun to necrotize. It was estimated that it wouldn't last more than a few days.

But even if the zombie is destroyed, it's not a big deal. It's a consumable item anyway, and it's even a level below a ghoul.

During this month, Ye Ming created 10 ghouls, which, together with the original one, have formed a considerable fighting force.

They failed quite a few times, managing to create a total of twenty zombies.

This was his secret force, and it was time for them to be deployed after the first raid.

However, the ghouls and zombies were not Ye Ming's most important achievements in the past month; the staff and weapons he made with "immortal sand" were!

Ye Ming modified the staff and one-handed sword that the Ye family had made for him, infusing them with a large amount of "immortal sand" to make them powerful magical tools with the powerful effects of attacking the soul and shattering the body!

At the same time, he also achieved a minor level of mastery in light magic. Although he failed to learn the "Substitute" spell, he learned all the spells he was expected to learn.

"Let's set off under cover of darkness, underground, so we don't get spotted."

Ye Ming watched as the ghouls concealed the cave, then ordered them to ambush at the pre-arranged location.

After the ghouls and their walkers disappeared into the forest, Ye Ming returned to the military camp to rest and await the arrival of night the following day…

……

"What does the lord want us to do?"

"I don't know. I heard it's for a mission, and all five battalions are going."

"They're not going to attack the greenskins, are they?"

"That's possible. We're just missing some real combat experience now."

"stand at attention!"

Whoosh.

When Ye Ming led five captains over, the soldiers who were standing in a row instantly fell silent, with only the sound of them standing at attention in unison.

Ye Ming stood on the stands, where more than 4,000 men from five battalions stood on the parade ground, a dark mass that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Everyone was looking at Ye Ming. After scanning the area, Ye Ming said in a slightly louder voice, "I believe everyone has guessed it, the Greenskins have expanded a camp outside the mountains."

"Those greenskins are stupid and arrogant! They're expanding outwards, and goblins have already reached the vicinity of our fortresses and farmlands."

"So our goal tonight is to raid that camp and take it over, so these greens will know who really owns this place!"

"Are you all ready?!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The overwhelming shouts of battle were the best response.

"Very good, let's go!"

Ye Ming waved his hand and personally led one battalion to the front, while the other four battalions concealed their tracks and headed towards the Greenskins' camp from four directions.
