Si Kong Zun did not allow Ling Xiao to select regular soldiers.
However, it didn't matter. Ling Xiao's Iron-faced Army was no less formidable than the Shenhuang Soldiers, perhaps even surpassing them.
As the saying goes, it's better to have a shortage than an excess. Ling Xiao had no intention of selecting anyone else. After arriving at Northern Desert City, he would take command of Qin Huo and those from Qingxu College under him.
"This is you not valuing the opportunity. Don't blame this marshal for not giving you a chance! The army marches forth, the target is Northern Desert City!"
Si Kong Zun sneered coldly. Since Ling Xiao had no intention of choosing, then let him be nothing more than a Centurion with no soldiers at his command.
He was actually quite pleased about it.
Out of the hundred-thousand soldiers at Imperial City Camp, eighty thousand set off, leaving the remaining twenty thousand to hold the fort.
