Chapter 780: First Marshal
"Please wait a moment, the rank conferment procedure is in progress..."
The waiting time was much longer than Lu Yao expected.
Since he had nothing to do, he began to take stock of what he had gained this time.
The battle was long and difficult. Lu Yao did not stop along the way and picked up a total of 810 military badges, including 1 brigadier general, 1 colonel, 1 major, 9 lieutenants, and the rest were all first, second and third class privates.
Looking at these trophies, he was secretly shocked.
This time, Xing Tian is truly a one-man army, fighting hard against the regular army of the elves.
But to be honest, Lu Yao also took advantage of many things.
Not to mention Xingtian's ability to never escape from battle and never die - and the fact that it shouldn't have appeared in this actual combat exercise, the enemy was mainly focused on maintaining their positions, and their initiative was tied down.
Furthermore, the enemy's lineup is strong enough, but it lacks a normal commander.
If the other commander is another Lu Yao, then he will lose. The other side only needs to adjust its tactics and use its main force to behead the commander, and the battle will end quickly.
According to the existing settings of [Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy], in this trial, I have to rely mainly on the 101 soldier spirits I had before to fight against the 800 enemy soldier spirits.
The enemy has at least a dozen [Psychic Guards], a brigadier general, and two school-level officers in charge... Under normal circumstances, there is no way to fight.
This time, it was also thanks to Xingtian's explosive power that they narrowly won the victory.
It is really not easy.
Lu Yao looked at the soldier card in his hand.
This is Brigadier General Malik's badge. It is white in color and has his rank and name engraved on it.
Being able to take this guy down is really a great improvement to my combat reserve! Lu Yao imagined that Malik and two school-level soldier spirits would lead the team to go to war. Relying on the strategic strike capability of [Soldiers], the strength and destructive power of this force would be far stronger than Xing Tian, whose combat style was relatively simple.
Just getting this troop is worth the trip.
Lu Yao found that the soldier card in his hand could be used at this time, so he summoned it out.
Many white filaments stretched out from the soldier card, forming the shape of Malik.
It still looks the same as before, with white armor covering its entire body that looks like stone and bone. From a distance, it looks like a classical warrior, but the cross on its face gives it the temperament of a future warrior.
Malik stood quietly, carrying an oval weapons box on his back.
Lu Yao touched the armor on its body and felt a cold, hard and delicate feeling on his fingers. It was not bone or stone, but more like a combination of ceramic and metal. The surface reflected Lu Yao's current bearded macho face.
He tapped his fingers again.
Ding ding ding.
The sound is nice.
Good sounding means good armor.
The more Lu Yao looked at this brigadier general, the more he liked him.
Malik's data panel no longer has any secrets.
…
[Soldier Spirit LV199] Brigadier General Malik HP: 336 million/336 million
Mana: 1/1 Damage: 16322 Defense: 6660 Speed: 181 [Undead]
【Spirit of Soldiers】
Threat Assessment
[Form Switching LV10]
[Psychic Bombing LV6 (12000/12000)]
【Main General】
With the rank of general, one can recruit, command and train soldiers below the rank of general to improve their combat effectiveness and experience, and can construct legion organizations at all levels.
[Alien Weapon Box]
[Malik's exclusive ability] He can peel off a part of his body and make it into a weapon box. He can use the weapon box to switch between different weapon forms and launch targeted attacks on the enemy.
「Dual Blades LV2」: Dual Blades form, speed +50, and can operate the dual blades to attack remotely.
"Long Handle LV2": Long handle weapon form, with the [Armor Break] and [Bleeding] features.
"Gun LV9": Gun form, damage +2657, speed -55, gain [Range LV10], [Knockback] and [Deadly Sniper] characteristics.
[Shield LV2]: Shield form, speed -100, there is a certain probability of triggering [Absolute Immunity] when using the shield to defend against damage, and the damage caused by the enemy can be used to accumulate psionic energy for [Psionic Bombing].
"Falcon LV7": Transform into a falcon and fly independently, gain [Eagle Vision Shared LV10], [Break the Boundary] and [Disguise Secret LV10].
…
Lu Yao carefully read Malik's varied abilities.
Among them, the effects attached to the gun form are amazing.
…
[Fatal Sniper]: After aiming and locking onto the enemy for a long time, there is a certain probability that the enemy will be seriously injured and put into a [Weak] state, and there is also a very small probability of causing [Instant Death].
…
Lu Yao thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't give it time to continue firing.
My hard work was worth it.
This means we have gained a general who is both civil and military!
As a brigadier general, Malik was not a one-on-one fighter, but a general who commanded the army in battle.
It has its own training skill, which can train and improve soldier spirits, and also has the reconnaissance [Falcon]. In terms of offense, it is more suitable to be a long-range sniper, using the [gun] to shoot and kill at a fixed point.
Of course, Malick’s panels are amazing enough.
Judging from the data alone, except for the speed, it suppresses Xing Tian in other aspects.
This shows how powerful the elves were in the past.
The elves can create such winged-man-level soldier spirits, no wonder they can directly arrest the winged people who commit crimes and throw them into hell for labor reform.
Lu Yao suddenly thought that if the gathering spirits like Baroye, the tombstone spirits like Shiliulang, and the scholar spirit An could all communicate, then there was no reason why the soldier spirits could not communicate.
"You can hear me, right?"
A voice came from Malik's cross-shaped face: "Yes, General."
This name sounds good.
"Malik, are you the ultimate gatekeeper of the entire [Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy]?"
"It is now, General, but it was not in the past."
Malik said: "[Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy] used to be conducted by a formally awarded general. But since we lost contact with the "Spirit Lord", only the soldier spirits and the worker spirits who maintain the trial site are left here. No elders from the Spirit Clan have appeared anymore."
"Are there no Shiling here?"
"No, General, the spirits are forbidden to get involved in the army. The army can only be commanded by the marshals and generals. Only with the authorization of Lord Ling can the regular army here be mobilized. Otherwise, it is forbidden to go out at will."
Lu Yao suddenly realized.
This is understandable.
The use of military force needs to be done with extreme caution.
Lu Yao asked it again: "Are there only two levels of trials here?"
"General, the [Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy] trial has 13 levels in total, including the five major stages of soldier, sergeant, lieutenant, colonel, and the final general. However, those who excel in the initial stage can directly skip a level. If you have achieved perfection in the first two levels, you have completed the entire process. There is only one record in history that is higher than yours."
"Who is that?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"He was the original trialist and tester, His Majesty the Spirit King. His Majesty completed the entire process just once... It is recorded here as such."
Ling Wang, it’s okay.
Lu Yao made some more detailed inquiries, and then he found out.
The difficulty of the previous assessments was not too great. In the past, many people jumped to the rank of lieutenant or even colonel from their first participation in actual combat exercises, and there were also brigadier generals.
But the difficulty of the final assessment is another matter entirely.
This is about awarding military ranks, which is completely different from the previous military capability rating.
"Awarding a rank is a formal recognition of the rank of the trial-taker. The candidate will hold a long-term valid rank, and will always enjoy the corresponding rank unless exempted by Lord Linggong through procedures. The higher the rank, the higher the authority, and the candidate will be able to take over and command the army in war."
"Therefore, the awarding of a rank is extremely serious and precious. You have passed the final test of the general rank without any damage, and you will undoubtedly be awarded the rank of general."
Malik nodded slightly: "Malik is also honored to be your subordinate."
According to Malik, it has always been the gatekeeper here. But at the last level, it can only passively defend and is subject to a series of rules and environmental constraints.
In addition, Malik was unable to train his soldiers due to lack of logistical supplies.
This can be considered a coincidence and a good thing. If it is allowed to train for many years, most of the soldiers will be promoted to lieutenant level, and even a large number of colonel-level soldiers will appear, then this place will really become an insurmountable restricted area.
Malik once led troops to deal with rebellions in remote areas within the Eldar, and made many military achievements. He is a commander with rich practical experience.
It has skilled and excellent command ability, otherwise it would not have been promoted to brigadier general.
Just as Lu Yao was still trying to understand Malik's situation and experience, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him.
"The commissioning procedure is complete. You are awarded the rank of Major General."
Lu Yao finally felt relieved.
It's pretty good to be a major general recognized by the elves. Now you have a real identity and corresponding hardcore authority.
Yet the words on the retina continued to appear.
"The rank promotion rules have been triggered. Since no other generals have been found, you have been automatically promoted to take the place of the general."
"You have been awarded a promotion to Lieutenant General."
"The rank promotion rules have been triggered. Since no other generals have been found, you have been automatically promoted to take the place of the general."
…
Lu Yaoren was a little confused and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
This means that in the entire "Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy" system, I am the only active general with a formal military rank, so I was promoted?
"You have been awarded the rank of Marshal."
"You have been awarded a promotion: First Marshal."
"You have already received the highest honor and title of [Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy], and you will be given the right to arrange the drill here."
"Please wait a moment. The induction process is in progress..."
Only then did Lu Yao feel that happiness was indeed knocking on his door, and he couldn't help but smile.
The Eldar generals had all died long ago, and he was the only one left.
He was the only official general in the entire army, but he was promoted all the way to become the highest military commander.
In other words, you can do whatever you want in this place! Lu Yao quickly asked Malik next to him: "How many soldier spirits are there here?"
"Reply to the First Marshal." Malik had changed his address and replied, "【Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy】As an important actual combat exercise base for the Eldar, including officers of all levels, there are a total of 230,000 soldiers and spirits stationed and carrying out missions."
Lu Yao's hands trembled when he heard this.
Even ordinary soldier spirits have the combat power worthy of being called gods.
This is a full 230,000-strong army! With such a large army in hand, who dares to challenge me?
Is this the joy of being a warlord?! Lu Yao then discovered that he had gained the title of [First Marshal].
…
【First Marshal】
Obtain [Supreme Commander], which will take effect in [Know Yourself and Your Enemy].
…
[Supreme Commander]: Can dispatch all soldiers and military facilities within the commander's authority and issue orders.
…
He tried to use the [Supreme Commander] ability, and immediately found that there was a soldier card symbol in the upper right corner, with the population number displayed behind it: 237,551.
From the details below, we can see that there is 1 brigadier general, hundreds of colonels, and over a thousand lieutenants.
Just when Lu Yao was getting extremely excited, another line of subtitles popped up in front of him.
"The inauguration process failed."
"Unable to connect to [Ling Gong]."
"Unable to obtain military service."
"Dear First Marshal, according to the relevant rules, you can only deploy and command soldiers in this area, and you do not have the authority to mobilize troops outside."
The smile on Lu Yao's face gradually disappeared.
