Selecting soldiers was not something to be done casually. Everyone chose according to their own abilities, but there were always some who failed to see their own limits clearly. Therefore, while everyone made their selections, people nearby were also responsible for supervision.
Anyone judged to have taken on more than they could handle was immediately rejected. This was, after all, Bright Yang Kingdom's army, not a place where they could do whatever they pleased. The second batch of troops numbered five hundred thousand. If that was not enough, more troops would arrive afterward. Ten minutes was neither long nor short.
Very quickly, nearly everyone had been assigned. Some could lead over a thousand men, while others could lead only a dozen or so. There were also people who voluntarily formed small squads. Altogether, the troops led by these people amounted to only around one hundred thousand.
More troops were still directly commanded by Bright Yang Kingdom's upper ranks. These armies were practically no different from being abandoned. Whether they lived or died in the hands of these people depended on their own luck. What was truly needed were still top-tier experts.
Bright Yang Kingdom did not lack troops. These soldiers would merely wear each other down against the demonfolk army. Those who commanded more soldiers were Spirit General Realm experts. Every person who reached the Spirit General Realm could lead at least ten thousand men.
Unfortunately, most of these Spirit General Realm experts did not like commanding unfamiliar troops. More of them directly joined Bright Yang Kingdom's military leadership. When truly grueling battles arose, they could take action themselves. In ordinary times, commanding the army had nothing to do with them. Once the army won, they would naturally receive a share of the credit as well.
As for the experts
