76: Chapter 76 Betting Agreement
After seeing Fang Chuan accept the rewards, General Wei Zheng handed him a document and said slowly, "The State Lord asked me to give this to you. Take a look, and if you find no issues, sign it."
Fang Chuan opened the official document and began to read it carefully.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Chuan slowly closed the document, raised his head, and looked at General Wei Zheng with a complex expression.
"Good grief... is this for real?"
The bold, black text at the very top of the document made his heart tremble violently.
"Decision Regarding the Establishment of the 'Godly Soldier Legion' and the Appointment of Comrade Fang Chuan as Legion Commander"
The content of the document was very simple:
1. The Zhenxi Army military district will add a special combat unit, the "Godly Soldier Legion." The legion is at the regiment level and will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Kingdom's supreme command.
2. Major General Fang Chuan is appointed as the first Legion Commander of the Godly Soldier Legion, with Brigadier General Luo Li as Deputy Commander.
3. After assuming the position of Legion Commander, Comrade Fang Chuan must report to the Western Frontier Demigod War Zone within one month and independently slay ten alien demigods within one year.
4. If Comrade Fang Chuan abandons this mission, his rank of Major General will be stripped, but his military status and benefits as a Major will be retained.
5. If the mission is successfully completed, he will be eligible for nomination for promotion to Lieutenant General. If he can slay an alien deity during the mission, he can be promoted directly to Lieutenant General!
6. Within one year, if Comrade Fang Chuan can achieve a Breakthrough to a Fifth-Order Deity, the Godly Soldier Legion will be directly upgraded to a corps-level unit!
...
After reading it, Fang Chuan remained silent for a long time.
This wasn't an appointment document; it was clearly a betting agreement, a military pledge!
Establishing a legion just for him, and even having a Brigadier General serve as his deputy—this treatment was unprecedented. However, the mission that followed was a nine-deaths-and-one-life scenario.
The Western Frontier Demigod War Zone!
What kind of place was that? It was the most brutal front line where the Dragon Kingdom fought against alien races, a graveyard for countless powerful demigods! Whether an ordinary Ninth-Order Demigod could return alive after entering was questionable, let alone slaying ten alien demigods of the same level within a year.
Those alien demigods were all elites who had fought their way out of seas of blood and mountains of corpses, possessing bizarre methods and a fearless, death-defying nature.
This test was too cruel.
General Wei Zheng watched the shifting expressions on Fang Chuan's face and spoke slowly in a steady voice, "Well, do you have confidence?"
Fang Chuan fell silent.
He wasn't afraid; rather, he was quickly evaluating his own strength and trump cards.
Hextech, Fortune Synergy, one-click synthesis...
With these top-tier resources poured in, if he didn't even dare to take on a fight against a peer, then he, this Transmigration candidate, would be too shameful!
Furthermore, wealth is sought amidst danger!
The rewards were too generous!
Once completed, he would ascend to the heavens in a single step and become part of the true high command of the Dragon Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Fang Chuan's gaze gradually became firm. He stood up abruptly, straightened his back, and gave a standard military salute to General Wei Zheng.
"Report, General! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear, filled with unquestionable determination.
"Good!"
A satisfied smile finally appeared on General Wei Zheng's face, and he slammed his hand heavily onto the table. "That's the spirit! This is what a general of our Dragon Kingdom should be!"
General Luo Yi also breathed a sigh of relief and patted Fang Chuan's shoulder with gratification. "Good lad, I knew you wouldn't let us down. Rest assured, the military department isn't sending you to your death. Someone will explain the specific situation of the war zone and various precautions to you in detail later. What you need to do this month is to use the resources we've given you to increase your strength at all costs!"
Fang Chuan nodded heavily.
For the time that followed, General Wei Zheng personally explained the severe situation in the Western Frontier War Zone to him.
It turned out that behind the Void Realm gate suppressed by the Zhenxi Army, it connected to a chaotic world named "Xel'Naga," within which several powerful alien civilizations were entrenched.
The greatest threats among them were the "Void Ravagers," which were like the Zerg, and the "Chaos Demon Spawn," who worshipped abyssal demons.
These two races not only had massive numbers, but also produced many powerful individuals, constantly assaulting the Void Realm gate year-round in an attempt to invade Blue Star. The Western Frontier War Zone was a meat grinder for the top-tier forces of both sides below the level of deities and demigods.
Listening to General Wei Zheng's description, Fang Chuan gained a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this test.
By the time he left the Zhenxi Army headquarters, it was already afternoon.
Brigadier General Luo Li, who had picked him up when he arrived, was standing by the fighter aircraft waiting for him.
Seeing Fang Chuan approach, Luo Li immediately stepped forward and gave a military salute, but this time, his attitude clearly contained a hint of genuine respect from the bottom of his heart.
"Legion Commander!"
Fang Chuan was taken aback by this form of address, then smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "Brigadier General Luo, you should just call me Fang Chuan. I really am not used to this title."
"No, rules are rules." Luo Li, however, looked serious. "From now on, you are the supreme commander of the Godly Soldier Legion, and I am your deputy. In the military, the hierarchy must be clear."
Looking at Luo Li's handsome yet exceptionally serious face, Fang Chuan knew that saying more would be useless, so he could only nod helplessly.
"Alright, Deputy Commander Luo Li."
Boarding the fighter aircraft returning to Qinghe High School, Fang Chuan leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, but his mind couldn't stop for a single moment.
One trillion Faith Points, three SSS-rank building cards, ten SS-rank spiritual fruits...
And one month of time.
He had to convert all these resources into tangible combat power!
"Deputy Commander Luo Li," Fang Chuan opened his eyes and looked at Luo Li beside him, "How many people are in the Godly Soldier Legion right now?"
Luo Li replied, "Report, Legion Commander, currently the Godly Soldier Legion only consists of the two of us. However, the military department has ordered that you may select any members from all officers below the field grade and soldiers of the Zhenxi Army to form your team, with no limit on the number of people."
"Oh?" Fang Chuan was somewhat surprised. "Such extensive authority?"
"Yes, this was specially approved by General Wei Zheng." A trace of surprise also flashed in Luo Li's eyes; clearly, this order had also just been issued not long ago.
Fang Chuan rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Selecting a team?
No, he didn't need to.
His true army was in his Divine Kingdom!
The only thing he needed to do now was return to his own "little plot of land" and start frantically mass-producing soldiers and leveling up!
The fighter aircraft landed on the playground of Qinghe High School. Luo Li escorted Fang Chuan to the bottom of the dormitory building and saluted again.
"Legion Commander, I will wait downstairs. If you have any needs, you can call me at any time."
"No need, you go back first. I might need to go into seclusion this month, and I won't go out unless there's something important." Fang Chuan waved his hand.
"Yes!" Luo Li didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave decisively.
Watching Luo Li's departing figure, Fang Chuan took a deep breath and pushed open the door to his dormitory.
"It seems I can't ignite the divine fire to become a True God for the time being, otherwise I won't be able to enter the Demigod Zone. This appointment letter really delays my progress in getting stronger."
Indeed, Fang Chuan was complaining; if not for this military pledge, he could have become a First-Order Deity this weekend.
"The task now is still to improve the strength of my followers. Two thousand Five-star Believers, 40 Six-Star Followers, and twenty thousand Four-Star Followers. This is a demigod battlefield; this little bit of force isn't even enough to fill the gaps in their teeth!"
"Slaying ten demigods in a year, you're looking down on me! Just watch how my army of one hundred thousand Five-star Believers pacifies you alien demigods!"
