nThe barracks were in the north of the city.
n
n
nAlthough Sky City was not big, the rules were complete.
n
n
n
n
nAll buildings were put into their positions after careful consideration.
n
n
nThe north of the city were the barracks, the south of the city was the residential area, and the east of the city was the location of all kinds of institutions.
n
n
nAs they got close to the military camp, they heard the shouts of killing.
n
n
n“What’s that? Could it be a fight?”
n
n
n
n
nWhen Jerry heard the sounds, he thought that it was a fight.
n
n
nBut at second thought, it was normal for the military camp to be raucous.
n
n
nMoreover, if they were to cause trouble in the military camp, they would be beheaded.
n
n
nNo one would be so stupid, so they must be training.
n
n
n
n
nWhen he walked in and took a look, it was just as Jerry had thought.
n
n
nSeeing that the sounds came from the soldiers training, Jerry nodded to himself. These 3,000 soldiers were not bad since they trained without being told.
n
n
nJerry felt that his luck was pretty good; after all, many people entered the Empire Era with a mess in their hands.
n
n
nThe management of the army was lax, and their combat ability was low.
n
n
nEven assembling them into a battle team was difficult.
n
n
nAs for attacking other cities?
n
n
n
n
nNeedless to day, they were going to die in the battle.
n
n
nThe army that he got was pretty good.
n
n
nJust as he reached the entrance of the military camp, the soldier guarding the door saw Jerry and immediately knelt down on one knee.
n
n
n“Greetings, my Lord!”
n
n
nTheir attitude and loyalty seemed to be pretty good. One had to know that the soldiers in the Empire Era had their own free mind.
n
n
nThey were all living people, but because of the Empire Era’s power, the Earthlings took over some of the local people’s places and became city lords.
n
n
nMany people entered the Empire Era and found it was exactly the same as reality, so they started to fool around.
n
n
nThey bullied the local people and had fun with women every day, having a great time.
n
n
n
n
nThe consequence was obvious. All of them were overthrown by their subordinates, and in the end, they were killed and then exited from the Empire Era.
n
n
nTherefore, Jerry was quite satisfied when he saw that his soldiers were very loyal.
n
n
nHe wasn’t that kind of scum and wouldn’t make his soldiers hate him.
n
n
nThus, as long as their current loyalty to him was high, it would be fine. In the future, it would be mythical figures who managed the city and the soldiers for him.
n
n
nAs for the abilities of the mythical figures, there was no need to elaborate, right?
n
n
nWith their management and guidance, Jerry’s prestige would grow in the future.
n
n
nAs they entered the military camp, the 3,000 soldiers in the military camp had already gathered.
n
n
n2,000 infantry, 500 archers, and 500 cavalrymen! Among them, the most precious was probably the 500 cavalrymen.
n
n
nBecause in the era of cold weapons, the cavalrymen were a strategic force.
n
n
nA small city like Sky City had 500 cavalry, which was a sign of unbelievable riches!
n
n
nAnd these 500 cavalry looked like they were well trained.
n
n
n“What do you think?”
n
n
nJerry looked at Athena and asked.
n
n
n
n
nHe wanted to hear Athena’s opinion.
n
n
nAthena carefully observed for a while and finally said to Jerry.
n
n
n“It’s not bad. This is a regular army, but compared to the elites, it’s still has a long way to go.”
n
n
nShe was right. Sky City was only this big. All these years, it had only experienced a few small battles as they raided bandits.
n
n
nFurthermore, they had never been trained by war talents. He was satisfied with their current force.
n
n
nOf course, it was only good compared to small and weak cities.
n
n
nFacing those huge empires, this army was as weak as a chicken.
n
n
nIt could be devoured by the huge beast-like army instantly.
n
n
n“Soldiers!”
n
n
nJerry walked forward and shouted.
n
n
n“Greetings, my Lord!”
n
n
nShua! Shua! Shua!
n
n
nEveryone responded in unison and knelt down on one knee, looking at Jerry with extreme respect.
n
n
nIn an instant, Jerry felt that adrenaline coursing through his veins. This feeling was really wonderful.
n
n
nThe 3,000 armored soldiers all knelt down on one knee in front of him, calling greetings to their lord. This feeling was incredible.
n
n
nNo wonder in the history, no matter what dynasty it was, countless heroes dreamed of conquering the land and ascending to the top of the world! No words could describe this feeling!
n
n
nJerry thought to himself, but at the same time, he became more determined to achieve something big!
n
n
nThe city lord of a small city was not enough! He wanted to become the ruler of a kingdom. He wanted to create a supreme empire, or something bigger!
n
n
n“Soldiers, this is Athena!
n
n
n“She is the general whom I selected for you. From now on, she will be the general of Sky City, commanding the Army of Sky City!” Jerry said.
n
n
nHe didn’t say the title of Great General or something like that, because this was just a small city. It would be shameful to say that .
n
n
nBut he believed that with Athena by his side, he would get stronger rapidly!
n
n
nAfter occupying more than a dozen cities, he would be qualified to establish a kingdom!
n
n
nAlthough a kingdom with a dozen cities was small, it was still something.
n
n
nAccording to the Empire Era’s settings, the owners of twelve cities could establish a kingdom!
n
n
nHowever, the empire above the kingdom had a minimum requirement of occupying a state!
n
n
nA state here was much bigger than the United States or other huge countries on Earth.
n
n
nIt was how big a state was!
n
n
nAlthough he didn’t know much about the state Qinzhou that he was in, he was sure it had more than a hundred cities!
n
n
nThere were even a few kingdoms in it! Therefore, to occupy the entire state of Qinzhou and establish an empire was hellish difficult.
n
n
n“But…”
n
n
nLooking at the beautiful and aggressive-looking Athena beside him, Jerry’s lips curled up into a smile.
n
n
nBut that was for others!
n
n
nAs long as he occupied other cities and expanded his territory, Jerry would be able to obtain more summoning opportunities.
n
n
nThe more mythical characters he had, the stronger he would become! He could expand endlessly by conquering other cities!
n
n
nAll the soldiers looked at Athena. Some of the veterans’ eyes were filled with displeasure. This young woman was actually going to become their commander-in-chief?
n
n
nIt was not their fault to think this. After all, they were all veterans. As for Athena, she looked to be only in her twenties. It was normal for them to not trust her.
n
n
nWho would have thought that this beautiful woman in her twenties was actually a goddess?!
n
n
nMoreover, she was the goddess of war!
n
n
nShe was the daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology.
n
n
nShe was one of the most powerful women in Greek mythology.
n
n
nDon’t be fooled by her appearance.
n
n
nJerry looked at the expressions of the soldiers and smiled to himself.
