Chapter 96: Forming the Battle Team

  The night was dark and gloomy, the north wind howled and rolled up thousands of piles of snow. The earth was covered in a vast expanse of white, and the roads had long since disappeared from view. On this snowy and windy night, even the cold-resistant wild beasts were rarely active.

  However, a lone figure emerged from the Blackstone County city, walking resolutely against the wind and merging into the vast white landscape.

  It was Guo Fei. After leaving the Blackstone County City for ten kilometers, there were no people around, and Guo Fei let out the corpse soldier and Hu Xiaoyue.

  For many days, the pup had been confined to the barracks space and hadn't come out to exercise. As soon as it was released, whether it was Hu Xiaoyue or the corpse soldier, they were all extremely excited, looking around left and right in the swirling snow. Not feeling even a bit uncomfortable due to the violent wind and snow, only excitement.

  Guo Fei took a look and found that there were currently 12 corpses, including 2 fifth-level corpses, 5 fourth-level corpses, and 5 first-level corpses. What made Guo Fei regretful was that Yuan Zongqiang had not evolved into a ghost general either. It seemed that the evolution of corpses still relied mainly on leveling up. Those who could evolve directly to the ghost general level were extremely rare.

  Guo Fei thought for a moment, as his troops increased in number, he estimated that even their names would be hard to remember. They were not puppets without intelligence, but rather variant ghost tribe cultivators. As their cultivation level rose and they came into contact with more knowledge from the mainland, their intelligence would also continue to rise.

  Therefore, the management of the undead warriors cannot be like puppets, nor can it be ignored. As the team grows and fights, without organizational discipline, it becomes a mob. Guo Fei had thought about this problem long ago, and through comparing his own military experience, in order to facilitate command, form a unified force and combat effectiveness, he could only adopt the military management command method to build his own team.

  Originally, Guo Fei wanted to refer to Zhao's way of building an army, with ten people in a small team and a hundred people in a medium-sized team, to build his own forces. However, after reading the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Array, Guo Fei changed his mind.

  The Liu Ding Liu Jia formation requires a strong will and soul power. After persisting in practicing the "Can Ye Xin Fa" for so many days, Guo Fei finally achieved an unexpected effect, and he could smoothly read the contents of the jade slip. After reading through the basic knowledge, Guo Fei knew that his own soul power and will were completely sufficient to sink his divine thoughts into the human-stage talismans without shedding a drop of blood, and he could urge the release of the talismans. The Liu Ding Liu Jia Phantom Slaying Formation was naturally no problem.

  Liu Ding Liu Jia Phantom Kill Array is not an attacking formation, but a phantom array that assists in combat through body techniques. Through his studies, Guo Fei learned that ultimate skills are divided into attack, defense and support categories. Among them, the most valuable ones are those with attacking ultimate skills, while the supporting ones are slightly inferior.

  This Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Formation is the ultimate technique of the Earth Stage Lower Class, although it's not very precious, but because it's a formation technique, it's more suitable for chaotic battles and slaughter than single-handedly urging the origin of Qi techniques. That's why it triggered a scramble among major powers.

  The Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Formation requires the combined attack of twelve or more Qi-refining warriors, and as the formation members' cultivation increases and their compatibility with the formation grows, its power will greatly increase.

  After delving deep into the Jade Simplification's Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Formation, Guo Fei was deeply convinced by this world's ultimate technique. The profundity within couldn't be understood with just a few words.

  The Liǔ Dīng Liǔ Jiǎ Huàn Shā Zhèn can concentrate the power of twelve people, forming an extremely strong attacking force. The array is like a thin mist at dawn, floating and disappearing, with illusory shadows flashing by. It has excellent hiding and evading effects in battle, and its unexpected joint attack is its killer move. The creator of this array was inspired by the morning mist rising and the sun's refracted light to create this kind of mysterious and unpredictable array.

  However, the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Formation also has its requirements. Since the combined force of one blow is a collection of the power of twelve people, the attributes of the twelve people's yuanqi should be the same; otherwise, the effect will not be very good. This is precisely why Guo Fei decided to take risks and obtain this ultimate technique after listening to the introduction at the auction scene, because such an ultimate technique was tailor-made for the Corpse Soldiers.

  In view of the requirements of the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Killing Array, Guo Fei decided to organize the corpse soldiers into a formation of twelve people in a small team. This is conducive to command and also conducive to training.

  In the vast and snowy night, Guo Fei led the corpse soldiers and Hu Xiaoyue to a hillside on horseback. The first appointment of troops was made here. Who would have thought that the legendary army that would later sweep across the mainland, striking fear into the hearts of all who heard its name, would hold its first assembly in such a place?

  "Xiao Yue, what name should I give their little team?" Guo Fei thought for a moment. If he called them Corpse Soldiers, it sounded too lacking in momentum.

  "Why don't we just call them Ghost Troop instead?" Hu Xiaoyue thought for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed that she couldn't think of a better name.

  "Ghost Troop?" Guo Fei listened and was somewhat dissatisfied.

  Guo Fei calmed down and looked at the big man, who was majestic and powerful, like a giant spirit from ancient legends. Guo Fei suddenly had an idea. He would call his team "Giant Spirit Ghost Team", which sounded impressive.

  After consideration, Guo Fei began to announce that the first squad of the Ghost Soldier Squad was established, with Da Ge Zi as the captain of the first squad, Knight as the deputy captain, and ten corpse soldiers under their command.

  The team's name is "Juren Gui Dui", abbreviated as Juren Dui. From then on, the team members only had their own troop numbers, without names. The big one was Juren One, the knight was Juren Two, and so on.

  Then Guo Fei announced the disciplinary rules, only four words: "Orders must be obeyed". Apart from this, regarding training to improve skills, executing tasks and fighting, everything is commanded and coordinated by the squad leader. The squad leader is responsible to Guo Fei.

  Regarding rewards, according to the usual merits and achievements, those who perform tasks outstandingly and accumulate high merits can get priority access to resources that enhance cultivation, such as weapons and elixirs.

  Guo Fei appointed Hu Xiaoyue as a secretary officer, responsible for registration and filing, recording the team's execution of Guo Fei's orders.

  After the appointment was completed, Guo Fei transmitted the formation layout, drill steps and coordination incantations of the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Killing Array to each undead soldier in the Giant Spirit Squad through the Soldiers' Space, allowing them to memorize their positions and operational techniques, and become familiar with them during future drills.

  After doing all this, Guo Fei set up his tent in a dense forest on the hill and went to rest. Hu Xiaoyue swallowed Ye Lao's demon core and beast marrow, greatly increasing her cultivation. On this cold snowy night, it was the best time for her to cultivate her water attribute, so she stood guard around the tent and cultivated her ice spider silk.

  Twelve corpse soldiers, led by the captain, also began to train. The big man was very powerful and carried out Guo Fei's orders effectively. He let the knights teach the new corpse soldiers the Liefeng gun technique, while he himself took the remaining corpse soldiers to practice the Moxing Liu Ding Liu Jia Phantom Kill Formation.

  This formation is imprinted in their minds through the spatial seal of the military symbol, and with their current intelligence, it's hard to deeply understand and exert its powerful effect. However, they can still follow procedures mechanically, like drawing a calabaza or a ladle, and their ability is stronger than ordinary people because their thinking is not complicated, and their ability to copy and imitate is relatively strong.

  Guo Fei didn't have high expectations for them either. As long as they could achieve one or two percent effectiveness within a few months, and then gradually improve through accumulation over time, that would be enough.
