Next day of Recruitment of army,
Many people were gathering in open space in Etherac city, which was assigned as a training area for the Army. All the selected soldiers gathered in the training area. They were ordered to come by Xander. The gathered people started to whispering and started to guessing various reasons for gathering. After some time a group of people came. Around 5 people were walking in front of the army. Some of them identified the man who was walking in front of the group and another middle-aged man who was walking slightly behind him. These were Xander and Reignald. Reignald is quite famous in the kingdom of Etherac due to his swordsmanship. Other people in the group were Dye, Aldith and Noah. The group walked for some distance and stopped in front of the army. They were standing on a mound made of sand where everyone can see them. People started murmuring in a very slow voice.
Xander went forward, The murmuring of people stopped, they all started to look at Xander. Xander opened his mouth to speak "Hello, My fellow soldiers I am King of the Kingdom of Etherac. I am also the Supreme Commander of the Army." The voice of Xander was soothing for ears but was enough loud that even the last person in the row of the army could easily hear every word loud and clear. Xander continued "I know that you all trained very hard to join Army, You all have various reasons to join, some didn't have a job, some had money problems and others. Now your all problems are resolved, you just have to do two jobs. First Protect the kingdom at any cost and second never disobey your superior orders. The army can only be maintained by discipline. As Xander was speaking his voice was becoming louder. Our army has only two goals.
First as I said, protect the kingdom at any cost. If we failed to protect the kingdom, our loved ones will be trampled and massacred like ants. Even Rank I demonic beast can massacre the whole kingdom.
Second is Annihilate Demons and demonic beasts from this world. Can you do these two jobs? Tell me!"
Upon hearing Xander's words, Every person standing down there felt rush of adrenaline, Their eyes became red, everyone was clenching their fists. The whole army started to shout in unison. The shouting was so loud that even the ground started to tremble. Imagine what will look like if more than 100,000 people were shouting in unison. That's exactly what was happening here.
Xander slightly paused for people to quiet before speaking "You all are now brave soldiers of kingdom of Etherac. The lives and safety of many people depend on you. Serve the kingdom and its people well, I will not mistreat anyone. If someone died while protecting the kingdom, I will give a pension to their family. If someone injured during the battle, I will provide a suitable pension and job to him. The salary will be 10 silver per month and I will increase in the future when our economy will be strong. Train hard to get promotion As you increase your rank your status and salary will also increase, Your training and classes will start from tomorrow. You will learn Swordsmanship, Spear arts, Archery, Battle tactics and train your body. There will be a system with which the Army will run. Aldith will explain it two to you."
Then Aldith went forward and started to explain "The system is a type of hierarchy, On topmost, will be Our king Xander as Supreme Commander,
Only 1 commander which is Dye.
4 Generals, they will control 25000 soldiers (One battalion) and will directly report to the commander.
20 5000 man commander, they will control 5000 soldiers and they will report to Generals.
100 1000 man commanders, will command 1000 soldiers and report to 5000 man commander.
1000 100 man commanders, will command 100 soldiers and report to 1000 man commander.
10000 10 man commander, which will be called corporal will command 10 soldiers and report to 100 man commander.
All soldiers will work in a team of 10 soldiers. All the positions are filled except generals. One of the general will be Sword Demon Reignald.
Xander went forward and spoke in a loud voice "The good news is the other three positions are empty, the generals will be selected from 5000 man commander." Every 5000 man commander's eye lit up upon hearing Xander. Xander continued to speak after a short pause "Tomorrow Every soldier has to report in the military school at sharp 7 am. Everyone dismissed." All the soldiers dispersed.
Xander and his group also turned and went towards the palace.
After around 20 minutes of walking they reached the palace and directly went to Xander's office. Aldith, Dye and Reignald also went with Xander to his office. Xander directly sat on the chair and signaled rest to sit on the chairs.
"Aldith, call the leader's of Dwarfs and Elf's in the evening, I want to discuss a few important matters."
"As you wish your highness."
"And Aldith How is the production of Paper and Ink going? We have to send a batch of paper and Ink to the kingdom of Ocawyth."
"It is going smoothly, As per your order we expanded the factories and opened 2 more factories of Paper and Ink."
"What about the Western village and the production of cement and bricks?"
"Factories of Cement already began to produce the powdered cement, It will be transported here tomorrow. Many houses for workers already built and few of them also settled there with their families. few people also opened shops for daily necessities. The factories of bricks have already sent the first batch of bricks. We are ready to start construction."
"Good, Now we can start our projects. And did you find some talents and employees to work in departments?"
"Yes your highness, Almost every department is fully functioned. Each of the posts is filled with a talented and educated person. I got 2 assistants to work under me, and they are talented people, they reduced a lot of my work."
"Then from now on Aldith you will also start training."
"I will join you in training from now on Your highness."
"Aldith, Did you find the man, who excels in spear arts?"
"Yes, your highness, there was one person he is good in Spear skills but he isn't that strong. I heard with just Spear skills he killed Rank I alone. He is currently around Level 6. His name is Botolf"
"Good, he can kill Rank I beast with just skills. Even I will find some difficulty if I fought with Rank I when I was Level 6. we just need someone with skill to teach Like him. Appoint him as Spear arts teacher, Tell him to come from tomorrow to school."
"Yes your highness"
Xander turned towards Dye "Dye from tomorrow you will also be the physical instructor of the army."
Dye nodded "OK, I will make their bodies hard as steel."
Xander turned towards Reignald "Reignald, you will serve as general as well as Swordsmanship teacher to the army."
Reignald nodded. After some minor discussions Xander dismissed them and went to his room to rest before meeting with Dwarfs and Elves.
Xander laid on his bed. He spoke in his mind "System are you there?"
"[Yes I am always with you]"
"It's been a long time when I talked with you, I have a question that is eating me from inside for a long time."
"[Yes it's been a long time and Ask me what you want to know.]"
"What will happen if I killed the Demon Lord."
"[Nothing will happen, just their domain will be occupied by human kingdoms].
"Nothing will happen and here I was thinking that I can ascend to god or something like that."
"[You can}"
Xander stared in bewilderment, he suddenly sat on the bed excitedly. "What! tell me quickly how can I ascend to god?"
"[You can not ascend to god for now]"
Xander slightly became depressed upon hearing System but the Last two words made his eyes lit up like 100-watt bulbs "For now??? That means that I can ascend to god in the future?"
"[Yes]"
"Tell me how, what do I have to do!"
"[Firstly you have to kill demon lord, After that, you have to reach Level 100 you will be the owner of this plane]"
Upon hearing the word Plane Xander became excited "That means there are more planes other than the one in which I am currently?"
"[Yes, there are a total of 3 planes, First the one we are in currently, In this plane there are only body cultivators. Second is where Qi cultivators are common, this plane is many folds bigger than this plane. You have to reach to the peak limit of cultivation to ascend to the third and last plane. In the last plane only gods and people who ascend from the Qi cultivator plane live. This plane is the biggest. This is the final goal of people to ascend to the last plane.]"
"OK, I understand so my goal is to ascend from this body cultivator plane to Qi cultivator plane. I have a question. Can other people also ascend to the Qi cultivator plane?"
"{Yes, When you reach Level 100, you will be the owner of this plane, you can take anyone with you. You will also open the Store option when you reach the Qi cultivation plane. You can also come to this plane whenever you want.]"
Xander was very happy upon hearing the system. "Oh my god, I have store option." Xander roared with laughter "If I can take how many I want and come again then I can make my own sect there. From the store, I can even get how many martial arts skills and cultivation manuals."
When Xander was laughing in his room alone. Two maids were walking in the corridor. When they reached Xander's room they both heard Xander's laugh. They both startled.
Maid 1: Wasn't Your highness alone in the room?
Maid 2: Yes, I walked from here many times, No one came towards the direction of Your highness's room.
Maid 1: Then with whom Your highness is laughing.
Maid 2: It looks like your highness has finally lost it. He was acting strangely after his injury. I suspected that he hit his head then very hard.
Maid 1" We have to inform Aldith about Your highness's condition.
Maid 2: OK, let's go quickly.
Xander was so excited he didn't even notice that it's been two hours since he came to his room to rest. Suddenly he heard knock on the door.
