Division

Including the eight new trainees who joined yesterday, Lin Feng among them.

Before this, there were three batches.

A total of four batches, adding up to exactly forty new trainees.

At this moment, several Generals arrived successively.

Among them was General Huang Qiong, whom Lin Feng had seen yesterday. There were also three others, all powerful individuals with auras as strong as Huang Qiong's!

Behind the four were over a dozen Squad Leaders.

Upon seeing the many superiors arrive, the training grounds, which had been somewhat noisy, immediately fell silent.

"Greetings, Generals!"

Everyone bowed and paid their respects.

"Mhm, I am Zhou Xiu, one of the Generals in our reserve camp.

Today is mainly to announce your affiliations.

And to let you get acquainted with the Generals."

At this point, a General of medium build stepped forward and said.

"You all should know General Huang Qiong.

This is Wu Peng, General Wu!"

Zhou Xiu said, pointing to Wu Peng, who was standing beside him, sporting a goatee and in his late thirties or early forties.

"This is Bai Sheng, General Bai!"

Then, Zhou Xiu pointed to another tall, muscular man, Bai Sheng.

"Today, the Centurion was supposed to announce your affiliations, but he is unavailable, so I will handle it!"

After introducing everyone, Zhou Xiu continued.

"Without further ado, those whose names are called, please step forward."

"Wu Xing, Zhang Cong,..."

After calling ten names.

These individuals stepped forward.

"You will all be assigned to my command. Later, five Squad Leaders will guide you to your respective teams!"

"Li Duan, Li Qing, Li Gui, Wu Shi, Wu..."

Next, Zhou Xiu called out seven or eight more names, assigning them to Wu Peng's command.

"Why are most of the disciples in this group from the Li and Wu families?"

Lin Feng felt a bit curious upon hearing these names.

Could these people all be disciples from the Li and Wu families, two of the Four Great Families?

At the same time, he wondered which General he would be assigned to.

Looking at those who stepped forward, they seemed confident, as if they already knew the outcome.

Lin Feng had a vague sense of unease.

He hadn't expected the environment within the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp to be so complicated.

Another eight names were called out.

Among these names, those surnamed Zhao and Yu accounted for more than half.

They were assigned to Bai Sheng.

Lin Feng mused that Zhou Xiu's position must be quite high. The Centurion entrusting this task to him suggested he was the closest to the Centurion among the four Generals.

As for Wu Peng and Bai Sheng, they each represented the Li, Wu, and Zhao, Yu factions.

"It seems there are indeed rifts between the Four Great Families. At least yesterday, the second young master of the Zhao family and Li Wuyi were at odds!"

Lin Feng speculated inwardly.

Now that three groups had been chosen, he should be assigned to General Huang Qiong's command, right?

He had a good first impression of Huang Qiong.

Yesterday, he had handled their assessment impartially. If Li Wuyi hadn't interfered, the matter of him competing with Mei Changyun wouldn't have happened.

Although the final outcome was good.

It was due to his own formidable strength.

For an ordinary person, they would have been eliminated by Mei Changyun long ago.

But it shouldn't be like this. Did Zhao Chengzhe not include him in his faction?

Or perhaps General Bai didn't take a liking to him?

As Lin Feng pondered, Zhou Xiu recited another string of names.

Eleven people walked out and were assigned to Huang Qiong's command.

At this point, only three people remained standing at the back, including Lin Feng.

The three looked at each other, then at Zhou Xiu, not understanding why General Zhou hadn't assigned them to any of the four Generals!

The people in the front four rows all looked at Lin Feng and the other two, their faces showing strange expressions.

It seemed to convey a look of pity and amusement.

This made Lin Feng feel even worse.

As someone without a background, he seemed to have been assigned to the worst team!

As expected, Zhou Xiu spoke!

"Lin Feng, You Lin, Mu Yu."

"You three will be assigned to General Ding Yun. Go find General Ding and report to him after he returns from the Spring Red Brothel!"

"Ding Yun? Spring Red Brothel?"

These words themselves were nothing, but at this moment, combined, they seemed inexplicably strange.

What kind of General would be in a place like the Spring Red Brothel, a place of debauchery, in broad daylight instead of being at the reserve camp?

It felt completely out of place with the reserve camp!

Especially Mu Yu, a girl, felt her future leader was rather peculiar.

If the General wasn't here, surely there should be a Squad Leader?

Afterward, the various Generals led their new recruits away.

On the vast training ground, only Lin Feng, Mu Yu, and You Lin were left alone.

"Sigh, I didn't expect to end up under General Ding's command after all!"

At this moment, You Lin sighed.

"Brother You, is it? Why isn't this General Ding here? Instead, he's at the Spring Red Brothel?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Right, is joining General Ding's command not good? Why do they look so strange?"

Mu Yu also asked You Lin.

"Sigh, since you two are colleagues from now on, I'll tell you about it!"

You Lin sighed again.

"In the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp, besides Centurion Zhao Hu, the five Generals have the most power!

And as you should have noticed, Zhou Xiu is the Centurion's confidant. He's like the second-in-command. Joining General Zhou's command is the best.

Basically, all resources are met first.

Next are General Wu, representing the Li and Wu families, and General Bai, representing the Zhao and Yu families.

General Huang Qiong is a neutral faction, content with his lot. Most of the people under him have ties to people in the county yamen."

"And the worst is our General Ding.

Legend has it that General Ding made a mistake before and was demoted to our Kaiyang County. If General Huang is content with his lot, General Ding is just coasting!

Look at the two guards at the gate, Chen Fei and Song Que, they are under General Ding's command."

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Mu Yu exclaimed.

"Then aren't we considered the lowest of the low in this Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp?"

Lin Feng's brows furrowed upon hearing this. Although he didn't know how You Lin knew so much information, what he said was basically consistent with his own guesses. It should be trustworthy!

"And that's not the most crucial part!"

You Lin said again.

Lin Feng and Mu Yu turned their gaze back to You Lin.

"Why do you think no Squad Leader came to greet us?"

You Lin asked.

"Why? Could it be that all the Squad Leaders under General Ding are out? It can't be that there's no one!"

Mu Yu asked anxiously. After hearing You Lin's explanation, she realized that joining General Ding's command was not good at all!

"That's right, there's no one!"

You Lin said.

"How can that be?"

Lin Feng couldn't hold back any longer!

"One of my elder brothers is a veteran trainee in the Demon Purging Division. This isn't exactly secret information; you'll know it all once you've been here a while.

The people under General Ding's command are basically all of poor aptitude and have no background. Their cultivation is very slow.

Not many of them passed the assessment to become official Squad Leaders.

The few Squad Leaders who were originally assigned to him also all died fighting monsters!

Perhaps because of General Ding's laissez-faire attitude, the camp no longer assigns Squad Leaders to him!"

It took Lin Feng quite a while to digest the information You Lin had shared.

Being under this General Ding was truly a mixed bag.

The trainees who joined his command, whether new or old, were all basically not doing well in the reserve camp.

Some were guarding the gates, others were working in the mess hall, and so on.

Fortunately, cleaning was done by each individual, otherwise, they would definitely have been assigned to clean the entire camp.

This was a critical area of the Demon Purging Division, unlike in a family where there were servants to order around. Some manual labor still needed to be done by the trainees.

As for this General Ding, he basically adopted a 'fend for yourself' approach to his subordinates' cultivation and daily lives.

This was a disaster for trainees with no background and poor talent.

Just then, a figure strolled in leisurely from the gate. This person, however, looked unkempt.

He held a pot of wine in his hand, drinking as he walked.

His long hair hung loosely, his face was covered in stubble, his robe was half-open, and his hat was askew.

Wine trickled down his neck into his clothes, soaking them.

The imposing attire of a Flying Fish uniform was worn with the air of a beggar.
