Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 52: Obedience leads to life, disobedience leads to death!

Liu Zimo's gaze swept over the dozen or so people present.

Except for Liang Luojun, Zhou Yiren, and Zhao Shijie, who had a green lock on their heads, the rest of the thirteen people had golden locks.

Not a single red lock in sight?

Liu Zimo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

With so many Iron Bone Realm warriors, in terms of potential and talent, not a single one could compare to Yang Sisi standing at the door.

"Well, it's better to have some than none. Thirteen will do for now. Let's bind them first!" Liu Zimo sighed.

When the quality is not enough, quantity will have to make up for it.

Although the golden locks were somewhat unsatisfactory, as long as there were enough of them, the benefits should still be good. It was better than leaving these spots empty all the time.

You see, after breaking through to the Fetal Breathing Realm, Liu Zimo's available binding slots expanded again. The total number of slots had reached fifty.

Following this development pattern, when Liu Zimo broke through to the next realm, the number of slots would undoubtedly increase again. There was no need to worry about not having slots available when encountering better talents in the future.

[Binding successful! Your good brother Cai Jianghong is now online. Currently available binding targets (11/50)]

[Binding successful! Your good brother Lan Tianbao is now online. Currently available binding targets (12/50)]

[...]

[Binding successful! Your good brother Sun Hao is now online. Currently available binding targets (23/50)]

In just a moment, all thirteen participants with golden locks were successfully bound by Liu Zimo, becoming his "good brothers" and "good sisters."

"Excuse me... sir, may I know how to address you?"

Seeing that Liu Zimo had not spoken for a long time, only scanning them with sharp eyes as if choosing his prey, Liang Luojun, as the host, couldn't help but be the first to speak, emphasizing his tone as he probed, "I want to know why you have gathered all of us here at this moment."

Clap!

Liu Zimo didn't speak, but threw the prepared identification documents onto the table in front of Liang Luojun. At the same time, he opened his coat, revealing the consultant badge hanging on his chest.

Swipe!

At the moment Liang Luojun saw the Martial Arts Consultant badge, Liang Luojun, the head of the Military Affairs Department, hadn't even reacted yet. However, the three internal guards sitting in the lower seats all stood up simultaneously.

"Sun Hao, internal guard of the Military Affairs Department's special training camp, greets Advisor Liu!"

"Liu Guangsheng, internal guard of the Military Affairs Department's special training camp, greets Advisor Liu!"

"Yuan Bin, internal guard of the Military Affairs Department's special training camp, greets Advisor Liu!"

The three of them stood tall, their voices like thunder, voluntarily revealing their identities, while also staring at Liu Zimo with reverence and fanaticism.

Liu Zimo slowly turned his gaze towards the three of them, casually waving his hand and cutting the ropes on their bodies.

"One mid-level Iron Bone Realm and two initial-level Iron Bone Realm. Not bad."

"Since you are my own people, all of you should return to the team. Before returning to the Military Affairs Headquarters, you will be under my command!"

Liu Zimo didn't waste any words and directly gave the order, bringing the three of them under his command.

For these three to confirm his identity as an advisor so quickly, and even be able to determine his name from the inscription on the advisor badge, it was evident that they were extremely familiar with the existence of the advisor badge, undoubtedly members of the Military Affairs Headquarters.

Moreover, Liu Zimo had heard of the reputation of the internal guards of the Military Affairs Department, whether it was in the previous life or when he was in the capital city.

As Wu Songyang put it, the loyalty of the internal guards was absolutely trustworthy. You could completely entrust your back to any one of them to guard.

"Yes!"

Sun Hao and the other two simultaneously stood up and saluted Liu Zimo before stepping out of line and standing behind him with great excitement and joy in their eyes.

As internal guards of the special training camp, no one knew better than them what kind of martial strength was required to become a special invited martial arts consultant of the Military Affairs Department.

The young advisor Liu in front of them, who seemed a bit excessive, undoubtedly possessed the cultivation strength of the Golden Body Realm before the Cataclysm, just like Hong Lao.

This also explained why they couldn't even withstand a single blow in front of Advisor Liu when they fought before, completely lacking any resistance.

Now, being able to serve directly under such a powerful advisor was definitely a dream come true for all the internal guards.

As for why they had never heard or seen this Advisor Liu before, that was not something they needed to worry about.

As long as they could confirm that the advisor badge was not fake, they only needed to follow orders!

"Special invited martial arts consultant of the Military Affairs Department, rank... Upper Participant?!"

At this moment, Liang Luojun also opened the identification documents in front of him. When he saw the words "Upper Participant" in the rank column, Liang Luojun couldn't help but raise his voice in disbelief.

Is this a joke?!

A young kid in his twenties actually held a position as an Upper Participant?!

Note: The translation provided is a faithful representation of the original Chinese text. Some grammatical adjustments have been made to ensure clarity and readability in English.

This made Liang Luojun, who had been struggling in the military system for half his life and was about to know his fate, feel extremely disappointed as a junior participant.

Although it was just a virtual title, it was second only to the Chief of Staff, right?!

Seeing the official seal of the Military Participation Department stamped on the certificate, and the handwritten "Wu Songyang" at the bottom of the signatory column, Liang Luojun knew that this certificate couldn't be fake!

The official seal could be forged, but Wu Chief of Staff's handwritten signature was not something anyone could imitate.

Moreover, unless they were insiders of the Military Participation Department, they might not even know Wu Chief of Staff's full name.

Swish!

Liang Luojun also stood up straight, raised his hand, and saluted Liu Zimo, saying:

"Liang Luojun, a junior participant from the Military Participation Department of Luozhou, greets Advisor Liu!"

"Zhou Yiren, a deputy participant from the Military Participation Department of Luozhou, greets Advisor Liu!"

"Zhao Shijie, the commander of the Thirteenth Army, greets Advisor Liu!"

"..."

After Liang Luojun, Zhou Yiren, the deputy participant, Zhao Shijie, the commander of the Thirteenth Army, and Lantianbao, the director of the Security Bureau, also stood up and saluted Liu Zimo.

In principle, they all belonged to the Military Participation Department and their ranks were below Liu Zimo's "senior participant". There was nothing wrong with standing up and saluting.

Even though they had some rebellious thoughts before, thinking about establishing an independent kingdom in Luozhou.

But now, facing someone as powerful as Liu Zimo, who was far above them in rank, obedience and submission had become their only way out.

Otherwise, according to the wartime special regulations, even if Liu Zimo directly executed them on the spot, he would not have to bear any responsibility.

Now.

Among the people present, as long as they weren't stupid, most of them had already guessed that the mysterious powerhouse who had killed Jingyong and Xuanqing and hung their bodies on the central commercial building in the city was most likely the current Advisor Liu.

If they dared to mercilessly kill and expose the bodies of disciples from the Dragon Tiger Mountain, then these people didn't stand a chance.

Therefore, upon seeing Liang Luojun, Lantianbao, Zhao Shijie, and other leaders of the Military Participation Department, they all chose to surrender and join them as soon as possible. The leaders of the other factions also trembled in fear.

They knew that with the appearance of Advisor Liu, the situation in Luozhou City had completely changed!

At this moment, when Liu Zimo's gaze slowly swept over them, Cai Jianghong stood up first and declared:

"From now on, my Jianghong Martial Arts Hall will be loyal to Advisor Liu! If Advisor Liu has any orders in the future, just speak up!"

"The same goes for our Shanhe Gang. We will be loyal to Advisor Liu! We are willing to go through fire and water!"

"The same goes for our Qingyi Society..."

Those who understand the situation are the heroes. They had all become prisoners, so what face did they have left?

Survival was the most important, big shots!

So, led by Cai Jianghong, the martial arts master, everyone present bowed their heads and surrendered one after another.

And from beginning to end, Liu Zimo didn't even have time to say a harsh word, but he had already gained practical control over all the forces in Luozhou!

Liu Zimo was not surprised by this.

In the end times, strength was everything!

As long as one's strength was strong enough, they could suppress a city, or even rule a country.

"Starting today, Luozhou City will implement wartime special regulations. Military merit comes first, and all resources and personnel will be under the control of the Military Participation Department!"

"Within an hour, I want all the monsters in the city to be eliminated!"

"Before dawn tomorrow, I want to see the basic formation of the city's defense line outside the city. There will be no more monsters entering the city at will!"

Liu Zimo didn't waste time with these people and directly gave orders.

With a flick of his hand, he casually threw a pre-marked map onto the conference table and calmly said:

"On this map, there are areas that each of you will be responsible for."

"If the time comes and you haven't completed the two tasks I mentioned, then I will replace you with someone else!"

"And I will settle accounts with each of you for what you have done in the city before!"

"Remember! Those who obey will live, those who disobey will die! Jingyong and Xuanqing's fate is the best example for you!"

Everyone's minds trembled, and they responded in unison.

They had understood Liu Zimo's words clearly. In short, there was only one sentence.

Those who obey live, those who disobey die!

If they didn't want to end up like Jingyong and Xuanqing, they should work hard and not play any tricks.
