apart from them, there are only merchants passing through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary commoners would not be willing to live in a place where war could break out at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along this Northern Frontier defensive line, there are one hundred thousand troops, a ten-thousand-strong Imperial Guard force, and over five hundred thousand permanent residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cities, towns, and people together constitute the Northern Frontier of the Great Lan Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no direct train from Lanling City to the Northern Frontier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei and his two companions had to transfer twice before arriving at Shaman City, one of the five cities of the Northern Frontier, from the nearest province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the major city closest to the front lines, as well as the largest in scale, the most populous, and the one with the strongest military force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residence of Prince Cheng, Qin Shixian, is located within Shaman City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei, Miao Yangxia, and Su Jia arrived in Shaman City by car, and upon entering the city, they witnessed its grandeur:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city walls were a hundred meters high, topped with a row of defensive cannons and even heavy machine guns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians are still in the age of cold weapons; both their technological level and martial power are comprehensively inferior to the Great Lan Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Shaman City has never been breached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the city, the architectural style of Shaman City gave Li Fei the most direct impression: rugged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not the slightest trace of Western cultural influence; no trams, no advertising billboards, no small Western-style villas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything here seemed to have nothing to do with refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the imperial capital, Lanling City, is like a pearl from the heavens, then Shaman City is like a stone lying across the empire's northwest border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this savage, barren land, it has held back the Northern Barbarian invasions for the Great Lan Dynasty for over two hundred years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the city, Li Fei headed directly to the military headquarters established here by the Military Affairs Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought Miao Yangxia and Su Jia to the front gate of the Shaman City military headquarters, where a martial officer was already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was clad in armor, exuding a murderous aura; observing his energy, he possessed a cultivation base at the Dao Foundation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaman City military headquarters Assistant Regional Commander Fang Feng greets the Marquis of Jing'an.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man placed his right fist over his chest and performed a military salute to Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Civil officials and military officers belong to two different systems; military officers from bottom to top are:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squad Leader, Banner Leader, Battalion Commander, Garrison Commander, Regional Military Commissioner, Assistant Regional Commander, Commander, Regional Commander, and Provincial Military Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are nine ranks in total, each divided into primary and secondary grades, totaling eighteen levels, just like the civil officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Fang Feng, who was greeting Li Fei outside the military headquarters gate, is an Assistant Regional Commander, which is a level 12 military officer, equivalent to an imperial official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Yangxia and Su Jia, following behind Li Fei, exchanged glances, both feeling that something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Li Fei's current official position, strength, and reputation, shouldn't the Shaman City military headquarters have at least sent a Commander-level officer to receive him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending only an Assistant Regional Commander—did it not seem like a lack of respect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded at Fang Feng: \"Assistant Regional Commander Fang, lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Feng turned to the side and gestured, leading Li Fei and his two companions into the military headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This military headquarters occupied a vast area; after passing through several courtyards and a drill ground, Fang Feng brought the three to a pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis, this is the command post of the military headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is His Highness Prince Cheng inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Feng shook his head: \"His Highness Prince Cheng has gone to patrol the borders and is not in the city. Currently, Deputy Provincial Military Commander Luo Xu is presiding over the military headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded and was about to step into the pavilion, but Fang Feng suddenly blocked Miao Yangxia and Su Jia, who were behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei turned to look at Fang Feng: \"What is the meaning of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Feng said neither humbly nor arrogantly: \"Apologies, Marquis. These two hold no official rank or position; according to regulations, they cannot enter the command post at will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei smiled and said calmly to Miao Yangxia and Su Jia: \"Fine, you two wait for me outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Yangxia and Su Jia naturally had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Fang Feng led Li Fei into the command post and took him directly to the highest floor, the fifth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the corridor, they stopped in front of a room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deputy Provincial Military Commander Luo is waiting for you inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Feng said to Li Fei, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei pushed open the door directly. Inside stood a broad and fat man; judging by his width, he could hold at least two Li Feis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wore a blue official uniform and was the only military officer Li Fei had seen so far who was not wearing armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Li Fei, Luo Xu stood up from his seat with some difficulty, like a mountain of flesh moving; the fat on his face trembled as he squeezed out a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have long admired the name of the Marquis of Jing'an, and today I finally get to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei saluted the man: \"Greetings, Deputy Provincial Military Commander Luo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Deputy Provincial Military Commander is a level 17 military officer; in terms of official rank, he is one level higher than Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for cultivation, Li Fei had learned before coming that there were only two Grandmasters in the entire Northern Frontier border army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is Prince Cheng, and the other is the commander of that ten-thousand-strong Imperial Guard force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luo Xu before him is at the Martial Arts Master stage, but being able to serve as a Deputy Provincial Military Commander, he must be a powerhouse among Martial Arts Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis of Jing'an, no need for formalities, please sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu smiled and then had someone enter the room to pour tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a cup of steaming tea was placed in front of Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked it up and took a sip; it was extremely bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Luo Xu also took a sip of tea and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Northern Frontier is bitter and cold, and conditions are somewhat poor; I hope the Marquis will bear with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei set down the teacup without changing his expression: \"It is fine; I am not a person pampered from birth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, indeed, indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu smiled broadly, \"The central authorities only said you would come, but did not specify your exact appointment or mission. Could the Marquis enlighten me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei: \"The relevant imperial decree should arrive momentarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu nodded: \"In that case, why don't I arrange for the Marquis to settle in the city first, and we can discuss military affairs once the decree arrives?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei glanced at him and was about to speak when a knock suddenly came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, an imperial decree has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person outside said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu was startled, glanced at Li Fei, and told the person outside to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there are telegrams and telephones in this era, some orders still need to be conveyed in written form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, imperial decrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Lan Dynasty has specially raised exotic flying beasts for long-distance communication, which are faster than today's trains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei had just arrived in Shaman City, and the decree arrived right after; it was clearly timed to arrive at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who entered held a wooden box and handed it to Luo Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu received the box with both hands, returned to his seat, and placed the box on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Li Fei again before carefully opening the wooden box and solemnly taking out an imperial decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of the decree was indeed related to Li Fei, detailing his specific appointment for this trip to the Northern Frontier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu's expression shifted constantly; after a moment, he finished reading the decree and placed it back into the wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deputy Provincial Military Commander Luo, does this decree concern me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu smiled: \"It does indeed concern you. I have seen His Majesty's arrangements. To be trusted by His Majesty at such a young age and to shoulder such a heavy responsibility—I truly envy you, Marquis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked at him: \"Deputy Provincial Military Commander Luo, you jest. You are responsible for guarding the Northern Frontier and governing hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians; why would you need to envy me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Northern Frontier is different from the provinces of the Great Lan Dynasty; there are no Six Ministries or Six Academies here, and the military headquarters established by the Military Affairs Bureau is the highest authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in terms of real power, Luo Xu, as the Deputy Provincial Military Commander of the Northern Frontier, has much more freedom than a high-ranking official of a province!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, I am merely responsible for assisting His Highness Prince Cheng in governing these hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians in the Northern Frontier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laughing, he revealed a troubled expression: \"It is perfectly fine for the Marquis to serve as the Army Supervisor of the Shaman Army in the future, but His Majesty has ordered you to command over three thousand martial artists recommended by the Lan Patrol Pavilions from various regions, and this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked at him: \"Why, is there a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu: \"Marquis, please do not misunderstand; I am certainly not questioning His Majesty's decision. It is just that these three thousand-plus newly arrived martial artists will eventually go deep into the wilderness with the army, but they have never had relevant combat experience before. Therefore, after these people arrived at the Northern Frontier, I arranged for them to undergo unified training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded; this was a proper arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To better coordinate and command these martial artists, I specifically selected over three hundred military officers of various ranks from the border army to be incorporated into this unit. These officers will also join the Shaman Army in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu continued, \"These officers have now been training with the three thousand-plus martial artists for over a month, and the command structure has already been established. If the Marquis were to suddenly pull these martial artists away now, the previous training would be in vain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei: \"That's simple. There's no need to detach them; the three hundred-plus military officers will remain, and I will simply take unified command of them in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu looked at him, \"The Marquis of Jing'an holds no official military rank, nor has he ever had experience leading troops. I fear this is inappropriate, is it not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked straight at this Provincial Military Commander, saying word by word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Lord Luo attempting to defy an imperial decree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu's expression changed slightly, then he laughed: \"Hahaha, the Marquis of Jing'an is joking. How would I dare defy an imperial decree? How about this: those three thousand-plus martial artists are currently training in the wilderness outside the city; I will personally take you there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the jungle sixty-plus miles outside the North Gate of Shaman-Slaying City, over three thousand martial artists who had arrived from various places were undergoing unified training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The northern defense line spans several hundred miles; naturally, it does not consist only of those few large cities and military towns. Many guard posts and patrolling soldiers are set up around Shaman-Slaying City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrol range also falls within the defense zone of Shaman-Slaying City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the three thousand-plus martial artists were within the defense zone of Shaman-Slaying City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them was clutching a Tiger-style rifle, carrying a backpack weighing 300 catties, and practicing a forced march through the jungle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A savage land, with treacherous mountains and foul waters, and primeval jungles. There are many venomous insects, exotic beasts, harsh weather, and all kinds of poisonous miasmas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the barbarian tribes who grew up here since childhood, it would be a near-death experience for ordinary people to travel through it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the reason why the Great Lan Dynasty has not launched large-scale military campaigns against the Northern Barbarians for so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the imperial court formed the Shaman-Slaying Army to penetrate deep into the savage lands for decapitation strikes; the necessary condition is that every member must be a martial artist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, these three thousand-plus martial artists from various places, after arriving at the northern border, have undergone training consisting mostly of forced marches in the jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they were divided into several sections, taking turns serving as the vanguard to clear the way for the main force at the very front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no roads in the primeval jungle, so the vanguard responsible for clearing the way needs to expend more physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these three thousand-plus martial artists, the lowest cultivation base is the Body-Breaking Realm, and their physiques far exceed those of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, the vast majority were already sweating profusely and panting like oxen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Faster! A little faster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stern voice came from above everyone's heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man wearing a full set of black armor stood in mid-air, 'standing' above this stretch of jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Martial Arts Master and possessed the ability to fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as a warlock breaks through to the True Spirit Realm and becomes a True Person, they will certainly possess the ability to fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for martial artists, it is not necessarily so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial Arts Masters who possess the ability to fly are extremely rare; each one belongs to a 'strategic-level resource'!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person had an upright posture, brows like blades, a crew cut, and an intense, fierce aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the chief instructor for these three thousand-plus martial artists; for the past month or so, he had been responsible for their training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he stood in the air, continuously berating the people below, urging them to speed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone fell behind, he would directly strike out a burst of energy from the air, hitting the lagging martial artists and causing them to scream in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than thirty minutes later, the three thousand-plus martial artists all ran out of this jungle and returned to the temporarily erected camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the camp, the vast majority collapsed directly onto the ground, gasping for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who could remain standing were either Martial Masters of the Qi-Transformation Realm or the military officers who had been transferred over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For martial artists in the Body-Breaking Realm, a forced march in the jungle for two full hours while carrying 300 catties had already exceeded the limits of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure cut through the sky and landed on the high platform of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you, stand up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chief instructor shouted unceremoniously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he had already established his authority in the hearts of this group of martial artists; everyone dared not delay in the slightest, quickly scrambling up from the ground, and then, under the organization of the military officers, quickly formed ranks before the high platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bunch of trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief instructor's angry cursing resounded throughout the entire camp:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After training for so long, you still cannot reach a passing grade. If you were soldiers under my command, I would have dragged you out and executed you long ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the three thousand-plus martial artists, many showed expressions of resentment, but they dared to be angry yet dared not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, the lowest cultivation base was the Body-Breaking Realm, because that was the minimum requirement recommended by the Lan Patrol Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even the highest cultivation base was only at the mid-stage of the Qi-Transformation Realm, and there were not even many of those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experts of the Dao-Foundation Realm could serve as counselors in the Lan Patrol Pavilion and were important figures in various places; they would not be recommended to come here at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi-Refining Martial Masters below were also important combat forces in major factions and would not be easily sent away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the cultivation bases of these people recommended to the border army were not considered high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the person standing on the high platform cursing them as trash at this moment was a Martial Arts Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between the two sides was simply too great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to resist, nor did they have the ability to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the chief instructor on the high platform intended to continue his lecture, two cars suddenly drove over from the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief instructor turned his head to look and recognized Luo Xu's exclusive vehicle at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the other party's physique, an ordinary car simply could not fit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief instructor stopped his lecture and waited for the cars to drive into the camp; he leaped down from the high platform and took the initiative to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu got out of his exclusive vehicle, and Li Fei got out of the other car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Provincial Military Commander!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief instructor saluted Luo Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu nodded and pointed at Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should recognize this person; he is the renowned Marquis of Jing'an, Li Fei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were heard by everyone in the camp, and a commotion immediately broke out as they all looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief instructor was also startled, then looked at Li Fei and saluted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it is the Marquis of Jing'an. I have long admired your name.
