The affairs of the territory had been put on the right track. Rare materials of all kinds were secured, and Zhou Yan no longer had to worry about soul coins. Every day, people successfully transferred professions, most of them becoming [Guanghan Fairy]s, though Chang'e had yet to appear.
Zhou Yan arranged for Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Sun Shangxiang to manage these women. However, these women were cultivators, which was quite different from soldiers.
To ensure that these [Guanghan Fairy]s understood all basic military commands, Zhou Yan began searching for generals to train them. Upon hearing this news, many generals eagerly volunteered.
This somewhat surprised Zhou Yan. It seemed that after watching movies in the cinema, many generals knew how to pursue women.
When it came to the generals with the strongest troop training abilities in the territory, there were indeed quite a few. However, he was reluctant to assign such generals to train soldiers.
Chen Qingzhi's troop training ability was absolutely unquestionable, undoubtedly the strongest in the territory.
Bai Qi was only stronger than Chen Qingzhi on the battlefield. In terms of troop training ability, Bai Qi was no match for Chen Qingzhi.
Besides Chen Qingzhi, there was also Gao Shun. The fact that he could train soldiers like the [Trapped Formation Camp] was enough to demonstrate his strong troop training ability. Moreover, the soldiers he trained were all extremely disciplined.
Gao Shun had not volunteered to train these [Guanghan Fairy]s. Gao Shun was an honest person and very strict with himself.
Of course, whether it was Meng Tian or Meng Ao, their troop training abilities were still quite good. However, the two were more suited for training cavalry. Compared to specializing, their training of infantry-type soldiers was somewhat lacking.
After much deliberation, Zhou Yan felt that Gao Shun was the most suitable candidate.
Gao Shun was also straightforward, so Zhou Yan directly sent a message, asking Gao Shun to return and train the [Guanghan Fairy]s. When this news spread, it caused many generals to sigh with regret and even envy Gao Shun for being valued by the Lord. However, the order had been given, and they could do nothing about it.
When Gao Shun heard about this appointment, he was stunned, thinking he had misheard. The Lord actually wanted him to train women.
This troubled him. He would naturally be unhesitating and very strict when training male soldiers, setting very high standards. However, he had no experience training female soldiers.
Therefore, after returning from outside, Gao Shun immediately found Zhou Yan and said to him, "My Lord, you want me to train women, but I have no experience training women. This..."
Gao Shun was afraid that he would not do a good job. After all, he was a serious person. Once he started, he would never go easy on anyone, regardless of whether they were women. This was his strength and also his weakness. He lacked flexibility and was a bit rigid.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan quickly said to Gao Shun, "General Gao, everything has a first time. Precisely because you have no experience, you can try to learn."
"Of course, training female soldiers cannot be as strict as training male soldiers. Also, their professions are different, and they do not need to be as strict or harsh as your [Trapped Formation Camp]. It is enough to let them understand commands and that they must obey the general's orders during battle."
"Also, on the battlefield, let them learn to obey arrangements and have basic military bearing. In fact, it's not difficult."
Gao Shun still looked troubled. Zhou Yan quickly said, "Of course, I will arrange for Sun Shangxiang to assist you. She has some troop training ability and can also learn from you."
This was a favored assignment. If it were other generals, they would have been overjoyed, not looking as reluctant as Gao Shun.
"Yes, Gao Shun will try his best." Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Gao Shun could only grit his teeth and agree. Entrusting this matter to him also proved the Lord's affirmation of his abilities.
Seeing Gao Shun like this, Zhou Yan felt he had indeed been a bit demanding. However, he had no choice. Famous female generals in ancient times were too few, and the probability of summoning them would likely be too small.
Zhou Yan later also sent Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Nie Xiaoqian, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and Xiao Zhao to the [Guanghan Fairy] barracks, and instructed them to learn some troop training skills from Gao Shun.
Among these women, only Zhao Min was somewhat familiar with troop training, though not professionally.
The number of soldiers would only increase in the future, so his women naturally had to learn more.
A day passed just like that, and it was time for classes again.
Zhou Yan returned to the school, studying during the day and handling matters in the territory at night. When he had spare time, he would go to the [Seclusion Chamber] to try cultivating. He found the effect to be very good. Cultivating inside, at his current level on the sixth floor, was about ten times faster than outside.
The higher the realm, the longer it took to improve a small stage.
With the territory's unlimited supply of cultivation resources and the effect of the [Seclusion Chamber], Zhou Yan's progress was much faster than others.
The material drop rate in the [Free Material Dungeon] was not high, except for the Boss who was guaranteed to drop high-level materials. This was unavoidable, as Zhou Yan could not dedicate all his time to running dungeons.
He had many things to handle himself. If he had to do everything, he would be utterly overwhelmed.
Even when they ran those material dungeons, they often only obtained materials of four-star quality.
For each dungeon run, the maximum number of seven-star quality materials they could obtain was about ten pieces. In 70 dungeon runs a day, that would be about 700 pieces.
This showed the gap in luck. If Zhou Yan ran them alone, he could obtain at least twice the amount of high-level materials compared to them each time, and the lowest quality material dropped would be five-star.
For the seven types of material dungeons, the top-tier materials were roughly in this quantity. It was not something that could be achieved in a short time.
With the [Guanghan Fairy]s, Gao Shun had also started training. Since Zhou Yan had given him free rein, Gao Shun had absolute authority. Even if Diao Chan and the others had suggestions, they would discuss them privately with Gao Shun.
With the understanding of women from Sun Shangxiang, Zhao Min, and others, Gao Shun had indeed developed a plan for training female soldiers. Although it was still being refined, it showed that Gao Shun was a truly responsible general.
Moreover, Diao Chan was very satisfied with Gao Shun's ability and had mentioned his seriousness and diligence in handling matters more than once.
Zhou Yan was naturally very pleased.
