Chapter 16 Headquarters
Jager didn't expect Talib to ask this and was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it to replenish manpower?"
He also understood that although no one dared to mess with the Bauhinia Army, accidents would always happen over the years.
Sometimes they are on missions, and sometimes they encounter madmen who are not afraid of the Lord God’s army. In this case, people will occasionally die. Therefore, the Bauhinia Army will recruit reinforcements from time to time.
Talib transmitted the message, "This is also a reason. The Bauhinia Army's practice is to wait until a certain number of personnel have died before replenishing them all at once. The Bauhinia Army doesn't have many casualties, so in the past, the Bauhinia Army would basically recruit people after a gap of more than a million years. This time, they are recruiting after only hundreds of thousands of years."
Jager's curiosity was piqued: "Why?"
Talib looked mysterious. "I heard about it too. It is said that hundreds of years ago, a madman appeared and killed a squad of the Bauhinia Army in Qianyang Prefecture. The Bauhinia Army from nearby cities went to chase him, but guess what happened? Not only did they fail to stop him, but they also killed many of them, and the madman even ran away."
"Of course the Bauhinia Army could not tolerate such a thing, so they dispatched several large groups of troops, including several Seven-Star Demon-level warriors. They searched and hunted him day and night, and sacrificed many soldiers, but in the end they still failed to kill the madman. He eventually disappeared, and no one knows where in hell he has hidden himself."
"A big reason for recruiting this time is to replace the people who died in that operation."
Talib talked eloquently, while Jager was half-believing and half-doubting: "Is this news true or false? How come I have never heard of it? Is there anyone who dares to kill the people of the Bauhinia Army?"
"I also heard rumors, but I'm not sure if they're true or not. I heard that the incident happened outside the city. If that's true, then the witnesses might only be some small tribes and bandit gangs nearby. They don't go anywhere else, so news spreads slowly. It's normal that other places haven't heard about it. In fact, the Bauhinia Army should know the most. When we get to the headquarters, we might be able to get the exact information."
Jager was silent.
He couldn't tell whether Talib's words were true or not, so he could only keep them in mind as a piece of news.
……
The headquarters of the Bauhinia Army is located in the Crescent Moon Mountains of Mingshan Prefecture in the central part of the Bauhinia Continent.
Although the Bauhinia Army is directly under the command of the Bauhinia God, their headquarters is not located in the Amethyst Mountains.
Many main gods are unwilling to reveal their residences, so even the main god’s army basically does not stay around the main god’s residence.
Anyway, the Lord God's divine consciousness can cover the entire hell. If the Lord God really wants to find the Lord God's army, he can find it at any time and there is no need to arrange the army near his residence.
After flying for more than 20 years, the metal lifeform that Jaeger and others were riding on finally arrived at the Crescent Mountains.
"It's here, it's here!"
"Boli, look!"
"coming."
After flying for more than 20 years, they finally arrived at their destination. The new members of the Bauhinia Army were very excited. They shouted to each other and looked at the Crescent Mountains not far away through the windows of their metal life.
After more than 20 years of getting along, everyone is more familiar with each other. And because everyone is a member of the Bauhinia Army and will be comrades-in-arms in the future, their vigilance is relatively weaker, and it is easier to get closer.
The Crescent Mountains are extremely large, stretching as far as the eye can see, with the highest peak reaching hundreds of thousands meters.
Between the mountains, you can see many castles and palaces, and from time to time, soldiers of the Bauhinia Army wearing purple robes fly through the air.
"That's the headquarters of the Bauhinia Army!"
Jaeger looked at the castle palace outside the window and was very curious about the situation in the Bauhinia Army headquarters.
The metal life stopped in front of a purple castle on the outskirts of the mountains.
"Okay, we're here, let's go down."
Matic asked everyone to leave the Metal Life. Everyone left the Metal Life one after another. At the same time, a group of Bauhinia soldiers came out of the castle. The black-haired woman in the lead walked towards Matic and said with a smile, "Matic, long time no see."
"Luoya, the last time I saw you was tens of thousands of years ago, right?" Matic pointed at Jaeger and the others, "I've sent them here, the rest is up to you."
"rest assured."
Matic turned to Jager and the others and said, "Everyone, my mission is over. If any of you are assigned to Blue Maple City, then maybe we will meet again soon, haha!"
"Brothers, let's go!"
Matic led the soldiers of Blue Maple Team 3 back to Metal Life. Metal Life took off and flew towards Blue Maple City, and soon disappeared into the sky.
"Okay, follow me in."
The black-haired woman, Luoya, turned and walked towards the castle.
Jager and others hurried to catch up.
Talib walked beside Jager and excitedly said, "I wonder what's inside the Bauhinia Army headquarters. It's really exciting."
"We'll know soon." Jager was also curious.
There were many Bauhinia Army soldiers guarding the castle gate and the watchtower above. Luo Ya led Jeger and others through the gate of the castle and came to a courtyard. Two Bauhinia Army soldiers in purple robes stood in the courtyard.
One of the soldiers held a tray with dozens of purple badges with a redbud flower on it.
Luo Ya turned around and said, "Come here one by one and receive the Bauhinia Army badge. After the badge recognizes its master, you will be considered as official Bauhinia Army soldiers."
Starting with the five upper gods, Jaeger and others stepped forward one after another.
Standing in the crowd, Jaeger saw the first upper god who passed by drip a drop of blood on the badge. After the blood sank into the badge, a special purple mark appeared on his forehead. Judging from the shape, it was a bauhinia flower.
"Sir, what is this mark?" A new middle-level god asked the question in his mind.
Many people looked at the mark and felt uneasy.
Luo Ya glanced at everyone, seeing their confusion, and explained indifferently: "This mark is the mark of the Bauhinia Army. Don't worry, this mark is not a means of soul control. We are the army of the great Lord God, and there is no need to use that method to retain people. The role of this mark is to identify you. When others see the mark, they will know that you are members of the Bauhinia Army."
Many people felt relieved, thinking to themselves, "Yes, what kind of existence is the Lord God? How could he use soul control on us middle-level gods?"
Jager also didn't think it was soul control, not because the Lord God was so noble.
The Lord God is also a life, but he has obtained the Lord Godhead. Apart from that, he is no different from other lives and has seven emotions and six desires.
He felt that it was not soul control because in the original novel, in order to prevent the heaven from winning ten consecutive victories in the plane battlefield, the main gods of various departments had tried every means to search for powerful upper gods to enter the plane battlefield. With the joint efforts of so many main gods, they finally only gathered three hundred seven-star demons controlled by the soul.
If the armies of the main gods are controlled by souls, and so many main gods have their own armies under their command, the number of seven-star demons will not be only three hundred.
After all, apart from the heaven and the God of Light plane, there are fifty or sixty main gods in other supreme planes and god planes. Each of them has a main god army under his command, and each main god army has only five or six seven-star demons? How is it possible?
A palace lord has two or three seven-star demons under his command. The area that a main god's army needs to be responsible for guarding is far more than one or two palaces, and the number of seven-star demons will be even greater.
