Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Upon seeing Luo Xuan's statement, Lin Feng immediately became interested and asked Luo Xuan what level of military force the Tianyu Empire had.

Although Lin Feng was also a lord of the Tianyu Empire, his strength had not yet developed, so he had hardly ever left the area around his territory, let alone come into contact with the Tianyu Empire's army.

Therefore, Lin Feng was most interested in Luo Xuan's contact with the Tianyu Empire's army.

Next is Shen Ce.

As for the others, they had already been in contact with or learned about them to some extent.

Luo Xuan didn't actually know much about it either, so he could only give a brief introduction based on what he had seen.

"The overall strength doesn't seem too strong, but the troop composition is very complete, with all sorts of different types."

After Luo Xuan finished his introduction, he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, is the centurion leading the team only a Tier 3 hero, yet he can command so many troops?"

Since he is a centurion, even if the number is reduced, he will still have several hundred men under his command. Even if each man only has a little, he will still have several hundred leadership points.

Thinking about this, Luo Xuan suddenly realized that his leadership value was still far from sufficient.

Upon seeing this, Ye Cheng, a third-tier lord, spoke up.

"I do know that."

"Military positions in the Tianyu Empire have a leadership stat bonus. I'm not sure exactly how much, but you can think of it as a lord with a specialized leadership stat."

"Ye Cheng is right," Zhao Wenjie suddenly interjected, "Joining the army is a good choice for many heroes; quite a few government officials have joined the army."

"According to our internal information, a corporal can directly add 50 points to his leadership value, and a platoon leader can add 100 points."

"Based on this calculation, the centurion should receive an additional 10000 points, or even more."

Zhao Wenjie's words blew up the guys who were lurking online; they couldn't hold back any longer.

"What?! Adds 10,000 leadership points?!" Shen Ce asked incredulously, adding a bewildered animated GIF.

The people behind him simply copied and pasted Shen Ce's speech, turning on repeat mode.

"That's true, but when you join the army, you can only start as a low-ranking soldier, and promotion is quite difficult."

Zhao Wenjie explained, "Currently, our Suzhou Liangyi Division only has two squad leaders and one platoon leader; the rest are still serving as common soldiers."

"Moreover, military rank is only valid while in the military; it disappears once you leave the military."

After hearing about the various constraints Zhao Wenjie mentioned, everyone fell silent.

The reason why everyone envied military positions before was because they added a lot of leadership value, but the fact that the effect would be lost if you left the military made everyone hesitate.

Those in this group were all top performers in the initial assessment, although their scores were slightly lower than the previous four.

But that's also because they have the capital to support them. If we're really talking about potential, these six people in the group might not be inferior.

Luo Xuan was confident that, given equal resources, he could easily defeat everyone.

All resources are concentrated to cultivate a super monster that can then go out and mow down enemies. Who can fight against it?

However, reality is not a game, and it is impossible for everyone to have equal access to resources.

Therefore, Luo Xuan could only fantasize about it in his mind.

Once you join the military, in order to make your hard-earned military rank effective, you will inevitably have to obey the orders of your superiors.

Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? What's the point of becoming stronger then?

Therefore, after Zhao Wenjie explained the pros and cons in detail, everyone tacitly stopped discussing the topic of military positions.

No one thought they would be reduced to needing a military position to enhance their status.

Zhao Wenjie noticed the change in the atmosphere in the group and continued:

"That's more like it. Those people had no choice but to become heroes, and joining the army is, to some extent, an official assignment."

"Alright, we've gotten a bit off-topic." Zhao Wenjie brought the somewhat tangent topic back on track.

"Now that Luo Xuan has a centurion on his side, there's no problem. Your undead stronghold should be cleared out soon."

"However, I have already sent Zhang Lifeng from Meteor Plains. Judging by the time, he should be arriving at Black Rock Mountains soon."

Luo Xuan understood that this was the helper Zhao Wenjie had sent because he was worried about him.

Luo Xuan wasn't entirely unfamiliar with Zhang Lifeng; he had encountered him and even collaborated with him during a previous temporary mission.

Overall, Zhang Lifeng left a fairly good impression on Luo Xuan.

Therefore, when Luo Xuan heard that Zhang Lifeng had already gone to the vicinity of the Black Stone Mountains, which was not far from him, in order to help him, he really couldn't bring himself to say something like, "Let him go back, he doesn't need to come anymore."

"I worked with Brother Zhang once before, and it went quite well. But wasn't Brother Zhang a second-tier lord? How did he become a hero?"

Luo Xuan was somewhat puzzled; he shouldn't have remembered it wrong.

"He has only himself to blame. He insisted on exploring the Abyss Corruption Zone, which caused him a lot of trouble and resulted in the loss of his own territory."

Zhao Wenjie gave a simple explanation.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan was stunned. He hadn't expected that Zhang Lifeng, who had recently carried out some missions to seal spatial rifts with him, had already encountered a huge crisis and even had to abandon his lord status to survive.

Luo Xuan gained a clearer understanding of the dangers of the Abyss Corrosion Zone—to the point that even a second-tier lord could easily perish.

"By the way, I heard you say before that there's also an Abyss Corrosion Zone near you. Be careful and don't do anything reckless."

Zhao Wenjie suddenly thought of something and warned Luo Xuan.

"I know, I know, I'm timid, I won't do anything reckless." Luo Xuan was somewhat amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and quickly assured him.

"I'll contact Brother Zhang right away, send him my location, and ask him to come and protect me as soon as possible."

Luo Xuan expressed his approval and welcome to Zhang Lifeng in a joking manner.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenjie stopped talking.

In his view, Zhang Lifeng had just lost his territory due to the Abyss Erosion Zone, which was the time when he was most wary of the Abyss Erosion Zone.

With Zhang Lifeng watching over Luo Xuan, Zhao Wenjie felt relatively more at ease.

Afterwards, Luo Xuan clicked on Zhang Lifeng's profile picture and sent him a message. This was after the mission ended that day, when Luo Xuan was riding in Zhang Lifeng's car to the Liangyi Division.

Opening the dialog box, only the information automatically sent by the system when you first added the account is displayed:

"I've accepted your friend request. We can start chatting now."

Then, Luo Xuan first sent a crying emoji, and then typed a message:

"Brother Zhang, please accept my condolences!"

However, Luo Xuan did not receive a reply, presumably because the other party was still traveling in the game.

Luo Xuan, unperturbed by his playful antics, tossed the half-eaten bread wrapper into the trash can and logged back into the game.
