Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Fellow Daoist Hu, I wonder who the brigade captain and the inspector are? Should we meet them?" Jiang Ru asked.

"The department has not appointed a director or supervisor yet. Currently, I am the only candidate for the position of deputy captain."

"Ah?" After hearing this, both Tang Ning and Jiang Ru were shocked.

The two looked at each other, and Tang Ning asked, "I wonder what Friend Hu just said? Why didn't he appoint a brigade captain and an inspector?"

Hu Hongkuan said: "You two fellow Taoists, don't be surprised. Let me tell you slowly. This headquarters belongs to the seventh column of the First Army. It is a newly formed team. In order to cope with the massive pressure of the rebels, the Donglai County Alliance Army urgently requisitioned Deploying troops to resist the enemy, the sixth to tenth columns of the First Army were reorganized.”

"Originally, the First Corps only had the first to fifth columns, without a headquarters number. Since it is a newly formed team, the personnel are not yet fully staffed, so many positions are currently vacant."

"The two came from Xuantang City. They are relatively close and arrived earlier. Other support teams have not arrived yet, so the number of personnel in the headquarters is relatively small now, and many positions are vacant."

"This time the coalition monks are recruited to form a new team. All positions are still arranged according to the previous positions. They just disrupt the original organization and are unified under the command of the coalition forces."

"For example, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you were originally the captain of the squad, but you still serve as the captain when you come to the headquarters. As for Fellow Daoist Tang, you were originally a member of the squad, and now you are still a member of the squad."

"The captain and supervisor of our unit will arrange for their brigade captain and supervisor to take up their duties after other support teams arrive."

"Understood." Jiang Ru nodded: "So Brother Hu, Brother Tang and I will be assigned to which team specifically."

"Currently, the first, second, third, and fourth squads of our headquarters have candidates for captains. Fellow Daoist Jiang Dao is appointed as the captain of the fifth squad. What do you think?"

"Okay, how many monks do we currently have in our team?"

"The headquarters team now has a total of thirty-seven people. The fifth team currently only has one person, Jiang Daoyou. But don't worry, other support teams will arrive soon. At that time, the corresponding personnel will naturally be arranged to join the fifth team to enrich the manpower of the team. . In the past few days, fellow Daoist Jiang, it is best to stay here and avoid going out as much as possible, because other support teams will arrive one after another, and you will be needed to pick up the monks from the fifth team."

"I see."

Hu Hongkuan turned to look at Tang Ning: "Fellow Taoist Tang, currently only the first, second, and third squads of our headquarters are full, and the rest of the teams are vacant. You can choose a squad at will. What do you think?"

"Fellow Daoist Hu, just make arrangements."

"In this case, fellow Taoist Tang just stay in the brigade and directly report it! With your cultivation level, it is not suitable to serve in other squads."

"Okay." Tangning nodded. For him, now that he's here, it doesn't matter which team he joins.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, let me take you to the fifth team area first! You can build a house there to live temporarily."

The three of them got up and walked out. After a short while, they came to a stone house in the northeast part of the mountainside. Hu Hongkuan pointed at the house and said: "This is the temporary meeting place of your fifth team. Friend Jiang, you can stay here within a hundred feet." We settled down and built a room inside. From now on, your team will add more people and settle down here.”

Jiang Ru nodded without saying anything.

"I won't disturb you fellow Taoist to rest. I will inform you fellow Taoist again after other support team members are assigned to the headquarters."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Hu."

"If anything happens to you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you can come to the brigade meeting hall to find me at any time. Fellow Daoist Tang, let's go!" The two of them left in the light and came to the open area east of the brigade meeting hall, where only a few wooden houses stood.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, this is the residence of the monks directly under the brigade. Currently, there are only six members of the brigade. According to the establishment, the brigade directly has to recruit at least twenty people. In the near future, the headquarters should not have any tasks, but according to the requirements of the column, the headquarters People should go out as little as possible so as not to be contacted for any urgent matters. If Fellow Taoist Tang really needs to go out for something important, you can say hello to me first."

Tang Ning nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist Hu, are all the monks in our column currently recruited from the local cultivating families in Longhua City and the Taixuan Sect?"

"Yes, basically they are recruited by the monks stationed in this city. You are the first batch of support teams. As far as I know, there will be a group of recruited monks organized by the aristocratic families of Xuantang City arriving later. Other cities Troops will also be sent one after another to reinforce the city’s defense.”

"I wonder if the shops in the city are open as usual?"

"This is the situation. The war is about to break out. There are no shops open. Those chambers of commerce have already evacuated the city. Even the Xuanmen of the city have closed their gates tightly. No one dares to run around."

The two chatted for a few words, and then Hu Hongkuan left. Tang Ning then built a wooden house here.

As time passed day by day, more and more reinforcements arrived, and the seventh column was quickly replenished.

In the spacious and bright stone room, everyone gathered together. The dark-faced middle-aged man sitting in the main seat was the captain of the direct team of the fifth brigade of the seventh column of the seventh regiment. His surname was Ma and his name was Yu. He was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. He was a disciple of the Sixth Column of the First Legion of the Qingwu Camp of Emperor Taixuanzong. With the support of the Sixth Column, he rushed to this city and was transferred to the position of captain of the team directly under the headquarters.

Tangning walked in from the outside. Everyone inside looked at him, and some nodded in good faith. He nodded in return and took a seat on the left side.

Not long after, several more monks arrived one after another.

"Everyone is here. The main purpose of convening everyone today is to let everyone meet each other and get familiar with each other. For a long time to come, everyone will fight side by side and live and die together."

"Yesterday, with the arrival of Fellow Daoist Peng Xian, the establishment of twenty people directly under the headquarters has been fully staffed. I have met with everyone here in private before, and I would like to formally introduce myself here."

"I'm Ma Yu, the former captain of the ninth team of the sixth column of the first regiment of Qingwu Camp of Taixuanzong, the fourth wing of the seventh brigade."

After Ma Yu finished speaking, he looked at Tang Ning. Currently, most of the twenty people in the team were Golden Elixir cultivators, and there were only four Nascent Soul cultivators. Among the four, he had the highest cultivation level.

"I am Tang Ning, a former disciple of the 7th Squadron of the 5th Regiment of the 1st Column of the Qingwu Camp of Taixuanzong."

Before he could finish his words, a burly man said, "I am Chang Teng, a disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Sima Clan in Yuanxian County."

"I am Han Jue, a disciple of the Jiang family stationed in Jinyan City." Another man with slightly white temples said.

The four of them are the only four Nascent Soul cultivators in the team.

Chang Teng and Han Jue were both in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

After the four people took the lead in introducing themselves, others also spoke.

Ma Yu smiled and said: "Our team can be said to be strong now. Not only is it large in number, it is also better than other teams in terms of cultivation. Fellow Taoist Chang Teng and fellow Taoist Han Jue are both capable members of the Sima and Jiang families. Senior Brother Tang Ning is also an elite disciple of our sect, and I will rely on you more in the future."

"I don't dare. Since Fellow Daoist Ma is the captain appointed by the coalition forces, if you have any orders, just give them a shout. We will naturally obey Fellow Daoist Ma's orders." Chang Teng said.

"Now the headquarters column is basically fully staffed. There will be tasks assigned to me and others from above at any time. The brigade asked me to wait. In the recent period, everyone will try to stay in this mountain. If you need to go out, you must say hello to me first, and then Only by reporting.”

"Here, I would like to say a few more words. I hope you don't find me too complicated. You are all elites selected from various families and sects. This gathering together to fight side by side is not only a rare fate, but also a matter of concern to you. Vital interests.”

"This time the rebels have gathered in large numbers to capture Yuanxian and Zuozhong counties. If they advance all the way and really occupy Yuanxian County, it will do you all harm but no good. Now it can be said that everyone is a rope. The grasshoppers above are both prosperous and devastated. I hope everyone can work together. "

"Everyone here will benefit greatly from the recovery of the four western counties in the future."

"You all come from different cultivating families. You may have known each other before, or you may not have known each other before, or you may have had some personal conflicts and frictions. Since you have been recruited to join the coalition, no matter what grievances you have before, you should focus on the overall situation during the unified foreign affairs. No fights can occur in private at any time, and offenders will be severely punished by the coalition forces."

"In addition, when fighting, you must absolutely obey the orders of your superiors. No matter who disobeys the order, there is no need to report it to the coalition forces. The superiors of the headquarters have the right to execute them arbitrarily."

Ma Yu talked endlessly about some internal rules of the coalition forces.

Everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.
