Survival of the Nation: I Can Specify the Items That Will Drop

Lin Feng's gaze then turned to Jiang Yelan, Jiang Zhaoyue, and Meng Yi: "Regarding the defense of the Antarctic region, the remaining military force of the Fenghuo Territory will be fully responsible. Yelan, Zhaoyue, and Meng Yi, the three of you will oversee the overall situation."The three of them stood up at the same time, quickly walked to the center and stood still, responding in unison.Then, Lin Feng looked at Li Yuan, who was sitting on the side of the hall: "Li Yuan, you are in charge of the allocation of supplies throughout the territory, ensuring that the supply to the front line and the rear is unimpeded."Li Yuan immediately stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Lin Feng, saying, "I accept your command.""Okay." Lin Feng looked at everyone and returned to their seats before giving his final instructions."In a little over ten days, there will be a special small mission that requires awakened individuals of level three or above within the territory to participate. Everyone must not slack off these few days; those who need to level up should do so, and those who need to prepare for battle should prepare for battle."Several short, forceful responses came from inside the hall.Lin Feng's expression relaxed slightly: "Don't be too nervous, everyone. This arrival of the Nightmare Clan should be the last wave of attacks from the Nightmare World.""If we can hold off this wave, we'll have won completely. Then, if I get any benefits, everyone will share."These words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples among the crowd.Tie Dun was the first to speak, his voice returning to its usual boisterous tone, and he exclaimed expectantly, "Lord, I'll take your words seriously! If we really get something good, I, Tie Dun, will be the first to volunteer! I won't be picky, I'll use whatever you give me!"As he spoke, he glanced to his left and right, as if to confirm whether anyone had responded to his statement."Then I'll sign up second!" Feng Qingyan immediately raised her hand, her eyes sparkling. "Lord Lin said there are good things, so they must be great treasures!"Even Arrow Eye, who is usually taciturn, spoke up for once, his tone firm: "Save one spot for me in the registration."Zhao Hu didn't participate in the banter about "benefits." He simply clenched his fist tightly and said, "No matter what we divide, we must first defend the line. If we can't defend it, we'll get nothing."This simple statement calmed the atmosphere in the hall once again.Lin Feng looked at everyone, his smile lingering for a moment, before he put down the documents in his hand: "Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Everyone, go back to your work."As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng stood up, picked up the Wildfire Spear from the side of the chair, tucked it behind his back, and strode toward the entrance of the hall.As he walked, people on both sides stood up one after another, and the sound of chairs being pushed away rose and fell.The once solemn and dignified hall was filled with the sounds of conversation again, which quickly spread to every corner....In the afternoon, outside the south gate of Hangu Pass.The crowds surged forth like a burst dam, pouring out of the city gate and spreading out to both sides of the wide official road.The Night Whisper Legion and the Crescent Moon Legion each had more than 90,000 men, plus more than 60,000 natives, making a massive force of more than 200,000 people, which filled the originally empty plain to the point of being impassable.Among the crowd, many low-level awakened individuals, only at level five, were tightly clutching their newly received registration cards, carrying simple luggage on their shoulders, their faces filled with disbelief and bewilderment.At the back of the queue, several young awakened individuals were whispering among themselves. One of them turned around and looked at the ever-flowing line of people behind him, his voice trembling."I'm only level five... I just arrived at Hangu Pass this morning. I originally just wanted to see the world, but as soon as I got to the gate, I heard that the Night Whisper Legion is expanding its army..."He pinched his thigh hard and gasped, "Before, you couldn't even get into the legion without being at least level seven. You had to pull strings and find connections. Today, you can just sign up and join, and you can even get a promotion on credit! Brother, do you think my ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke?"The person next to him chimed in, "My family is the same! I used to work as a waiter at my second uncle's restaurant. When the news came this morning, my second uncle immediately closed the shop and dragged me to the military camp."He said, "The shop can be reopened, but if you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever." Good heavens, a single opportunity! I never even dared to dream of that before, and now all you have to do is sign up!He patted his chest hard, his eyes sparkling with anticipation: "My second uncle also said that after he finishes his job transfer, he will go back and change the restaurant's sign to 'Beacon Tower Veterans Restaurant' and let my cousin take over."My cousin wasn't at Hangu Pass, so he completely missed this incredible opportunity!The people nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud, their laughter filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.On the other side outside the South Gate, a small group of women were sitting on the ground.They belonged to the Crescent Moon Legion, and their equipment was not yet complete. Some wore ill-fitting leather armor, while others were still wearing their original coarse cloth clothes, but everyone's eyes shone with an astonishing light.A girl with a high ponytail clung tightly to her companion's sleeve, her excitement almost overflowing: "I used to be an apprentice at the blacksmith shop in Panshi Town. My master always said that girls shouldn't be blacksmiths. If you have the strength, you should join the army."I thought he was just being sarcastic, but today I'm actually a soldier! The Crescent Moon Legion has expanded to 100,000! I ask you, which other territory on Earth can do that? Only our Beacon Fire Territory! Long live Lord Lin!"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Her companion quickly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "If Deputy Commander Feng hears this, she'll criticize you for being undisciplined again."But the person trying to persuade her was also trembling slightly, with red eyes: "But we were really lucky. I used to be chopping vegetables in the mess hall, and I had no presence in the legion. I felt like I was just a cook."Today, someone came to register me and asked if I wanted to change jobs. I asked if my skills were up to par. They replied, "The elite Qin garrison soldiers will accept anyone, as long as they're human!"At the edge of the crowd, a veteran in his thirties squatted by the roadside, a withered grass stalk dangling from his mouth.Sitting next to him was a new recruit who had just registered. He looked young, and his back was ramrod straight like a javelin.The veteran glanced at him sideways and said lazily, "Why are you sitting so upright? We haven't even started training yet, save your energy."The green recruit stiffened, his shoulders relaxed for a few seconds, then instinctively tensed up again.The veteran chuckled, spat out the grass stalk in his mouth, and cast his gaze at the dense sea of ​​people in front of him. His tone became somewhat distant: "Kid, you're really lucky. You don't know this because you're new here. I used to be a veteran of the Beacon Guard and fought several tough battles with the lord."Do you know how precious those promotion slots were back then? The entire army was scrambling to get them. After a battle, the few slots available were determined entirely by military merit.He paused, then pointed ahead: "And now? Overnight, the army was expanded by 500,000. Last night, the main city was upgraded, and this morning, the quotas were raining down like stones, leaving my head buzzing. Do you know what this means?"The greenhorn shook his head blankly.The veteran picked up a blade of grass again: "It means the lord doesn't want to wait any longer. The Nightmare Clan will be here in a dozen days, and he wants to forge the entire Beacon Territory into the most terrifying war machine on Blue Star within those dozen days."And we are the sharpest gears in this machine. Do a good job, kid. You've caught the biggest wave of this era; don't waste your life.At this moment, at the front of the crowd, officers from the Night Whisper Legion and the Crescent Moon Legion had begun to oversee the reorganization of their troops.As commands were relayed, the originally noisy voices were gradually suppressed.
