The door opened, and Qian Simin, dressed in military uniform, walked in.
"Dad, you wanted to see me?"
Qian Simin plopped down on the sofa, one leg propped up on the coffee table, looking completely nonchalant.
Qian Anguo's head was constantly swaying, which made him look nothing like a girl.
Fortunately, he's gotten used to it.
"Minmin, there's news about that S-rank Purple Star Wolf."
The Purple Star Wolf, an S-rank magical beast, had been sought by Qian Anguo for a long time, and he had finally discovered its whereabouts recently.
"Really? Tell me where it is!"
Qian Simin stood up abruptly, looking very excited.
Even the water glasses on the coffee table were kicked and knocked over, but Qian Anguo only frowned.
"Please sit down and listen to me slowly. The location of the Purple Nether Star Wolf is on Xinglang Mountain, 100 kilometers south of the city."
"However, they are very strong, and they have a pack of several hundred wolves under their command, all of which are A-rank and B-rank, making them very difficult to deal with."
If Lu Yuan were here, he would definitely scoff, "Is that all?"
"Dad, we can ask a few powerful forces to help us deal with this. We can just give them some benefits if necessary."
Qian Anguo shook his head and began to explain:
"If it were anything else, they might help, but with an S-rank magical beast, it's a miracle they don't cause trouble."
"The current balance is about to be broken. If we acquire another S-rank battle pet, do you think they will feel at ease?"
I must say, Qian Anguo's analysis was spot on.
If we really ask those forces for help, I'm afraid either the Purple Nether Star Wolf will be scared away, or it will end up as a corpse.
Getting an injured Purple Star Wolf is almost impossible, unless they're stupid.
This really worried Qian Simin.
"Then what should we do?"
"If our military goes to encircle and suppress it alone, it will be easy to defeat it, but it will probably be very difficult to capture it alive."
"After all, it's very difficult to stop an S-rank magical beast from escaping."
Qian Anguo thought for a moment:
"These forces are unreliable, but there are people who can be."
Qian Simin immediately cast an inquiring glance at her.
Qian Anguo didn't keep them in suspense and directly said a name:
"Lu Yuan, the commander of the new regiment!"
Since Qian Simin didn't recognize Lu Yuan, Qian Anguo simply repeated what Huang Weisheng had told him earlier.
"This guy is really powerful. I've done some research on him privately, and basically two or three S-rank magical beasts are no match for him."
"If he helps, then it's almost certain."
If Lu Yuan were here, he would definitely find it funny.
He's not afraid of two or three S-rank magical beasts, or even several times more.
After all, he currently has several S-rank magical beasts, as well as the Demon Dragon King, though others are unaware of these things.
"Dad, why don't you just give him an order? He's your soldier, it's only right that he does this little thing."
Qian Anguo glanced at his daughter, speechless.
If it were before the apocalypse, it would indeed be possible to issue orders directly. If it were Huang Weisheng, he could also issue orders directly.
But in this situation, are his orders really effective?
Capable people are often unruly.
This is also why Qian Anguo didn't like having someone as undisciplined as Lu Yuan join his team.
However, due to the complex situation in Xuanwu City, he had no choice but to compromise.
If you don't want these people to join, then these people will turn around and join the forces of others. This positive and negative impact is enormous.
Therefore, Qian Anguo listened to Huang Weisheng's advice and was willing to give Lu Yuan a regimental commander position, even if he didn't have to do anything.
The reason is simply that you shouldn't join other factions.
With such a lenient policy, there was naturally no more military pay or anything like that.
Without military pay, even if you try to issue orders, no one will listen to you; that's the reality.
"Here's what we'll do: have Huang Weisheng accompany you to find him."
"I think he'll agree to help. Remember to be polite to him; you'll need his help later."
Qian Simin was very reluctant, but Qian Anguo spoke solemnly, so she had no choice but to agree.
Qian Simin verbally agreed, but in her heart she developed a very bad impression of Lu Yuan.
In her view, her father was a high-ranking official, and asking him for help was a sign of respect for him.
Therefore, she wanted to give Lu Yuan a warning and also teach him a political lesson.
Meanwhile, in the house that Su Xiaorou rented.
"You all remembered what I just said, right?"
Lu Yuan explained his plan.
As for the plan, it's very simple!
Lu Yuan is now the legion commander, but he is currently a commander without troops.
Without troops, his position as regimental commander is a joke.
Now that Lin Feng and Zhao Qiang have arrived, Lu Yuan has come up with a solution: recruitment.
"I've noted it down, but where are we going to recruit enough soldiers for a regiment?"
Lin Feng was a little confused.
Lu Yuan pointed outside:
"We'll recruit right here in Xuanwu City. With so many people here, recruiting a thousand or so shouldn't be a problem."
"At that time, the two of you will each be in charge of a battalion of troops."
Upon hearing that one person was in charge of an entire battalion, Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
"Old Lu, no, Brother Yuan, should I be the battalion commander?"
Are you sure?
Lu Yuan nodded:
"One regiment has three battalions, one for each of you."
Even Zhao Qiang was taken aback. Battalion commander, that's pretty awesome!
"Then who should get the last spot?"
Lu Yuan had also thought about the question Lin Feng raised.
Lu Yuan had originally intended to say it to Luo Qingguo, but when he saw Su Xiaorou move her lips, he quickly stopped talking.
He thought of someone more suitable, namely Zhang Qiang.
He has three women: Gong Yuehan will become the city lord or deputy city lord, and Luo Qingcheng can become his deputy.
In addition, Luo Qingguo will be the future city defense commander, and the Luo family itself has a strong background.
So, only Su Xiaorou is left without any rights.
To put it bluntly, there are no longer any means of mutual checks and balances.
Therefore, Zhang Qiang is the most suitable, and can be considered as giving Su Xiaorou a support.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked at Zhang Qiang.
"Uncle Qiang, would you be interested in becoming a battalion commander?"
Zhang Qiang's expression didn't reveal whether he was willing or unwilling, but he was very good at talking, for example:
"Sir, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"
Lu Yuan nodded:
"Alright, the three of you can discuss and resolve this matter later."
“I already have the weapons, now all I need are people, so this matter is settled.”
"Remember, we only recruit people with families; single people are not accepted."
Lu Yuan's last sentence left everyone completely bewildered.
Most people don't like people who bring their families along, but Lu Yuan specifically doesn't want anyone like that.
"Old Lu, why is that?"
Lu Yuan glanced at Lin Feng, then at the others. Finally, his gaze settled on Su Xiaorou.
"You don't know either?"
