Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 669 The New Military Merit System!

"Next, the city defense forces..." Xiao Yu looked at Chen Long and the others, "The special forces still have three teams, right?"

Sensing Xiao Yu's gaze, Chen Long and the others immediately replied solemnly, "Yes, Lord City Lord!"

"Since that's the case, Hou Ji! Zhu Gang! Gou Dao!"

Xiao Yu looked at the group of orc high-ranking officials and said in a serious tone, "Make arrangements to select the most elite warriors from the ranks and form several special operations teams!"

"Yes! Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Hou Ji, Zhu Gang, and Gou Dao exchanged glances, all of them delighted.

During their time in Dragon City, the orc warriors gradually received their standard equipment.

However, even in Dragon City, the standard equipment couldn't be that advanced.

Many powerful beastmen at the fifth or sixth tier are only equipped with third or fourth tier quasi-divine weapons.

After all, Dragon City is very strong now, but it only has a few forging masters.

In the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, there are at least a hundred high-ranking beastmen of the fifth or sixth rank or above.

It's impossible to equip everyone with divine weapons and high-level armor in a short period of time.

Not only would blacksmiths be unable to forge them in a short time, but hundreds of sets of divine weapons would likely require a massive amount of ferocious beast materials, probably depleting Dragon City's current reserves of high-level materials.

However, if you can become a special forces member, the situation is completely different.

The city lord will personally forge or design weapons and armor for them.

For example, a fifth-tier expert possesses at least a set of fifth-tier divine weapons and armor, instantly increasing their strength several times over.

A sixth-tier powerhouse possesses a complete set of sixth-tier equipment, and so on...

In short, the level of equipment you are given depends on your strength.

Basically, as long as you have equipment crafted by the city lord, you can be invincible at least among those of the same level, and even kill enemies of higher levels. If you're lucky... it's not impossible!

Such treatment is incomparable to that of ordinary city defense soldiers!

After all, the status and importance of special forces members are second only to those of bodyguards!

"Lord City Lord, could you please upgrade the training content for our city defense troops?"

Seeing the beastmen's extreme smugness, Chenlong and the others exchanged glances and immediately spoke up.

"The training methods you taught us before were very effective for low-level warriors of ranks 1-4, but now that everyone's strength has improved, those training methods are no longer as effective!"

Previously, the city lord taught them modern basic physical training methods.

Running, doing push-ups, weighted running, frog jumps, etc...

These methods are quite effective at lower levels, stimulating human potential and further strengthening the body.

However, now, the city defense army of over a thousand men, plus the new recruits, has an average combat strength of around level four.

There are already dozens of high-end combatants at the fifth or sixth tier.

However, I feel that I'm doing quite well with my current life.

Despite undergoing these training sessions, Chenlong and the others no longer felt any sense of becoming stronger.

In the past, Chenlong and the others wouldn't have thought much of it and wouldn't have wanted to change anything.

But now, it is clear that the beastmen are naturally superior to their peers.

Now, the orcs' numbers and combat power in Dragon City have surpassed theirs.

Chenlong and the others were also getting anxious, feeling that they could no longer slack off!

"Oh? You want to become stronger?"

Xiao Yu glanced at Chen Long and the others, and seeing the expectant look in their eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

Chenlong and the others immediately blushed and bowed, saying, "Please teach us, Lord City Lord!"

"Alright, since it was your own request, I will give you the complete version of the Five Animal Body Tempering Method. However, as you know, this cultivation method becomes increasingly painful as you progress. Unless you have extraordinary willpower, you simply cannot persevere! But..."

Xiao Yu nodded, a playful glint in his eyes, and said,

You still have a chance to back out. If you do, I won't give you any more training. But if you accept, you must complete the Five Animal Frolics training. Otherwise... if you slack off or skip training, I will punish you severely!

"We accept!" Chenlong and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with bitterness.

However, sensing the orcs' enormous size and overwhelming threat, they had no choice.

After all, the orcs were superior to them in both strength and loyalty to the city lord.

If they don't improve their strength soon, the orcs will take their places.

"Very good!" Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Lord City Lord...we have one more question!"

Chenlong thought for a moment, then said,

“The ferocious beasts are too large, especially the high-level ones. The stronger they are, the larger they tend to be. But no matter how strong we become, our size remains the same, which puts us at a great disadvantage in battle. Do you think you could manufacture a batch of large-scale weapons of mass destruction for us?”

In the past, when they went out hunting, they only hunted low-level ferocious beasts.

But now that everyone's strength has increased, it's natural that they want to hunt high-level ferocious beasts.

However, high-level ferocious beasts are often too large, making them very troublesome to fight.

To solve this problem and improve combat efficiency, we need weapons with wide-area and high-destructive power!

Previously, a single crossbow bolt could pierce the brain of a ferocious beast. Now, if an arrow is shot into the head of a high-level ferocious beast, it is likely to be stuck by its skull and muscles, and it will not kill it at all!

"I understand." Xiao Yu nodded.

Seeing him nod, Honglian, who was sitting next to him, immediately and quickly wrote it down.

I'll remind Xiao Yu again later.

After discussing the two departments, Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then his tone became serious.

"Regarding the city defense army and the patrol and inspection departments, I have decided that from now on, a new military merit system will be established. I will select candidates for promotion and replacement based on three factors: ability, military merit, and election."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled once again.

Especially Black Horse and Danai, among others.

They immediately understood what the city lord meant.

Previous appointments were based on a first-come, first-served basis. For example, Heima was only at the seventh level and his strength was not as good as Fengchi's, much less than Sangluo's.

However, because he arrived the earliest, he is now the Chief Superintendent of Police.

His position in the patrol and inspection division was completely superior to the previous two.

But from now on, everything will depend on strength, ability, reputation, and the election.

This will undoubtedly make the competition among everyone even more intense!

Suddenly, several colleagues who had previously been on good terms with each other all had a wary look in their eyes.

To know.

Their current status and the various benefits they receive each month are truly terrifying.

Take, for example, the banquet at the city lord's mansion tonight.

It varies depending on each person's level.

Each person will receive a minimum of 100 drops of Night-Shining Dew!
