Chapter 347 The candidate for flag master returns to Maple City! (Two in one)
"When will brother leave?"
"We will leave as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning." Song Changping said, they will stay one night, and they are here just to think Explain to Song Changming to avoid worrying about them all the time.
“It’s so urgent, why not stay a few more days?” Song Changming couldn’t help but said.
"The days ahead are bright and bright. Our existence is too special right now, so it's better to avoid unnecessary complications." Song Changping shook his head.
"Brother, let's drink all night before we leave." Second brother Song Chang'an laughed.
Although as a zombie, his sense of taste has been weakened to some extent and he cannot taste the taste of wine, but even so, he still loves to drink.
"Okay!" Song Changming nodded.
A night of drunkenness.
The next day.
"Brother, these are induction talismans. If they are crushed in danger, I can detect them. There are also these speed talismans, which I made myself. Take them."
Song Changming put some of his own The talismans made on weekdays were handed over to the two of them.
Originally, he wanted to give some spiritual crystals and money for emergencies, but his two brothers insisted on not giving them.
"No need to send it off, Chang Ming." At the entrance of the courtyard, it was still dark. Song Changping put on his hood again to cover his face. With the morning dew, his figure blended into the thin rain curtain and quickly disappeared. on the street corner.
After leaving the city, the two of them flew into the sky and looked back at this majestic city in the human world.
Come to think of it, I'm afraid I won't be back for a long time.
"Brother, when you go to the Nine Netherlands this time, you will be famous no matter what!" Song Changan said firmly.
"That's natural." Song Changping had a smile on his face, "How can we always let the family take care of us? In the future, it will be us, the elder brothers, who will support him.
In addition, we should avenge the Corpse Refining Sect ourselves!”
“That’s right, brother!” Song Changan clenched his fists, feeling the pain caused by the zombie body! Cold power.
This body no longer feels strange to him and he has completely accepted it!
Time passes day by day.
This military parade has been in full swing for a month.
A month later, the entire military headquarters was reorganized and took on a new look, and some of the dirty atmosphere also disappeared.
Some are happy and some are sad, some are rewarded and some are punished.
Some even went to jail.
Is such a large-scale review necessary?
Song Changming didn’t take it seriously at first, but when he saw the results a month later, he had to say that it was indeed necessary.
Just like a weapon, if it is not used for a long time and does not want to be polished and inspected, it will become rusty sooner or later, no matter how good the quality is.
This military headquarters is the sharp blade in the hands of King Cui!
Song Changming's 41st Army did better during this review. Only a few captains were arrested and interrogated. The problems were found out and they were removed from their positions.
In general, under Wang Tianshuang's rule, all the soldiers were quite content and had no objections.
Song Changming has only been cultivating quietly these years, and he is naturally very clean.
His troops also withstood investigation and punishment, and no scandals involving laws and disciplines occurred.
In addition, in terms of military strength, the 41st Army experienced a total of five battles this month.
Except for the initial confrontation with the Fifth Army, which ended in a defeat, the remaining four games were won.
The combat effectiveness displayed was also recognized by the officials of the palace and other commanders.
Originally, there was still some low ranking in the middle, so he was ranked in the upper reaches in one fell swoop, ranking fourteenth in the entire army.
This result is undoubtedly quite astonishing.
Marshal Wang Tianshuang also received many praises from King Cui. Based on his past achievements, he was finally given a Marshal Bead and became the five-bead Marshal of the military.
Due to his outstanding performance, Song Changming was also included in the discussion list of candidates for the small flag leader.
Previously, it was impossible for Song Changming to be included in this discussion list due to his qualifications and background issues.
But this appearance in front of King Cui also allowed him to complete a round of overtaking in corners.
Also included in the candidate discussion list is Xing Tiexin.
Xing Tiexin's qualifications and achievements are completely sufficient, his background is worse, but he also has Yang Zhen's support behind him.
As for his strength, he also performed well in this review meeting because he had access to Tianwu's veins.
He and Song Changming are two major generals in the 41st Army.
The performance of both of them is indispensable for the army to have such an impressive record this time.
"Although I have been included in the candidate list, if I want to be promoted to the banner leader, in this peaceful period, I am afraid that it may not be possible in the past three or two years."
Second City District, In the Chunfeng Building, Xing Tiexin, wearing loose casual clothes, put down his wine glass and shook his head.
The period of severe military crackdown was over, and after a month of boredom, Xing Tiexin could no longer bear it any longer, so he took Song Changming, Yang Zhen, and Fu Yuan, a few close people, to gather at the old place to drink and have fun.
"It takes so long?" Fu Yuan was also a little surprised when he heard this.
“It’s very fast to be promoted to a small flag leader in three or two years. I think Brother Yang was included in the candidate list back then, but he had to wait for nearly six years before he had the opportunity to take office.”
Xing Tiexin wiped the wine stains from his mouth and took Yang Zhen as an example.
“No wonder you don’t look very happy, that’s why.” Song Changming smiled.
The small flag master already had a very high position in the military department, and he was the second, third, and fourth leader in a green flag army.
The little flag leader is the commander-in-chief!
For aristocratic families, they may not think highly of a general in the army.
But they cannot ignore a small flag leader.
Because no one can say whether this little flag leader will seize the opportunity to become a military commander in the near future and hold military power!
And it is precisely because Xiaoqi's position is high and important that almost all the aristocratic families are eyeing this promotion position, and the competition has always been extremely fierce.
It took Yang Zhen nearly six years to stand out from the candidate list and become the leader of the small flag. This is not because Yang Zhen failed to seize the opportunity and delayed for too long.
On the contrary, Yang Zhen was able to be successfully promoted despite having no power and fighting alone, which further illustrates his ability.
Later, Xing Tiexin, Fu Yuan, and Song Changming himself all had Yang Zhen at least to help guide them.
But back then, Yang Zhen had nothing, so he had to make his way through the darkness ahead. You can imagine how difficult it was.
Song Changming heard that it was difficult for a small flag leader to be promoted, so he put his identity as a candidate aside for the time being and didn't think much about it.
"By the way, I heard that there have been frequent demon troubles in other places in Yunzhou in the past two years?" Song Changming took a sip of his drink, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask.
This is what his two brothers told him before, and it is also what they witnessed along the way.
Monsters are everywhere in Yunzhou. After being suppressed in one place, another one arises, causing people to live in dire straits. Deserted villages and towns are everywhere!
They said this because they wanted Song Changming in the army to be careful.
In their opinion, Cuibai Road, which has experienced a demonic disaster, may not always be able to live in peace.
"That's true." Yang Zhen heard this, his face darkened, and he nodded.
“Buling Road, Lichi Road, and Qiuhu Road are all areas that have been hit by demon disasters in the past six months, and there were also ones earlier.”
“Why is this demon disaster happening? Is it going to be destroyed?" Xing Tiexin asked in confusion.
Yang Zhen sighed, "I'm afraid something big is going to happen behind this demon disaster. The demon clan is spreading its plans in Yunzhou. This is not a good sign
If there is really a monster clan plotting against Yunzhou, and our Cuibai Road is the gateway to the southern border of Yunzhou, then the land of these twenty-eight cities will be turned upside down! "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on several people's faces became more solemn.
"Hey, it's useless for us to worry here. The real decision-makers are at the top. , we are all big-headed soldiers, we just follow the command and slay the demons and that’s it. "Xing Tiexin took the lead to adjust and mocked himself, pretending to be relaxed.
"It's true, how can the human race's Yunzhou be so easy to capture? "Song Changming nodded. It's so easy. How could the human race have occupied these three states for thousands of years!
"Yes, if the demon tribe wants to invade my human race, Yunzhou, they must be prepared to come back and never come back." Yang Zhen nodded to Song Changming.
“I don’t want to think about it anymore, come and drink, drink.”
“.”
One month after the military parade ended.
Maple City, in the city lord’s mansion.
Meng Jianli looked at the battle report that was presented with bloody words about casualties, which made his eyelids jump.
“This Huali slave has been dormant for many years, how could he kill so many of my soldiers!”
“City Lord, those Huali slaves have suddenly gained a lot of leader-level clan demons for some reason. , the soldiers were no match for them, and even General Huang was almost captured."
Jiangguanhui reported that even his body was covered with scratches, and the blood cannot stop even now. Flow outward.
It can be seen that this battle report was sent back only after he narrowly escaped death.
"I understand. You go down to recover and rest first." Meng Jianli took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The general hesitated, but finally swallowed his words.
The city lord has the final say on how to make decisions.
It’s just that right now, not to mention those villages and towns, even Maple City is in danger!
Meng Jianli obviously also knew that the situation was gradually getting out of control, and he could not let the people in the city accompany him to show off his strength.
He returned to the table without hesitation and wrote a letter, which was sent back to his family by the messenger bird.
This is a letter asking for help, and his family is one of the top families in the main city of Cuibai, the Meng family.
I believe that after the clan members receive his letter, they will quickly put it into operation.
"The order is passed, the whole city is under martial law, and the city defense formation is open day and night. The Huali slave is good at camouflage, and directly closes the city gate tightly, not letting anyone in until reinforcements arrive!"
October.
Song Changming also felt a little emotional as he looked at the gradually familiar roads and scenery along the way.
Back then, he took this very road from Maple City until he reached the main city of Cuibai, and then finally settled down in Guyuan Kingdom.
Now, he has turned back the same way and is revisiting his old place.
The difference from before was that he had no background and was a newbie.
Now, he is a general in the Cuiqi Army.
At the beginning, he had not even entered the Xiantian Realm, but now, he has opened up four martial arteries in the Xiantian Realm.
Physical training and cultivation have become even stronger.
All these changes illustrate Song Changming's growth.
"Changming, do you recognize this place?" Xing Tiexin asked on horseback.
"Well, I've been here before." Song Changming nodded.
"Do you know about the Huali slave of the demon clan written on the letter?" Yang Zhen, who was riding in front, suddenly turned around and asked.
"I have the impression that when I first arrived in Maple City, the previous city lord was assassinated by the Hualinu clan monster. I also fought against this clan monster at the beginning," Song Changming said simply.
In my impression, the Huali slave clan entrenched in Maple City is not too strong.
Back then, he could kill everyone, but now that he has led his army, there should be nothing to say.
"The letter mentioned that the Huali slave clan suddenly had many leader-level clan monsters wreaking havoc. We must not be careless at that time, lest the boat capsize in the gutter." Yang Zhen warned.
"Yes!"
The difficulty rating of this demon-slaying mission is not high, so it is impossible to send an entire army.
This time, Yang Zhen led the team and ordered the troops of Song Changming and Xing Tiexin to form a rush march.
Although Yang Zhen warned the soldiers in words, he actually didn't take it seriously.
We should just take Song Changming and Xing Tiexin together to go on a mission and make some achievements back home.
Expeditionary military missions like this are actually quite popular.
Just because of this kind of far-away mission, the settlement achievements are still quite impressive.
Except that traveling far away is relatively troublesome, it is not very difficult.
For such a good job, in line with the principle that the wealth should not go to outsiders, Yang Zhen naturally wanted to find Song Changming.
Moving along quickly again, within a few days, Maple City vaguely appeared in the field of vision.
"Huh?" Song Changming looked into the distance and first sensed the demonic aura shrouding the Maple City.
Yang Zhen also noticed something was wrong almost at the same time, and immediately said seriously: "Get ready to engage the enemy!"
Over Maple City.
The city defense formation was attacked one after another, causing energy ripples to appear.
Although there are no signs of damage, continuous attacks like this will only accelerate the energy consumption of the city defense formation.
Once the energy is exhausted, no matter how strong the city defense formation is, it will collapse.
On the city wall, Meng Jianli felt anxious as he watched the group of monsters misbehaving outside the protective formation.
Of course he knew what these monsters were planning, but he had nothing to do.
The combat power of his men, outside of the city defense formation, cannot fight against these monsters at all.
His number one general and number two general, Chu Wantong and Huang Silang.
Both of them were seriously injured and bedridden, and now there was no one around him that he could count on.
His real hope lies in the main city.
“You must hold on!” Meng Jianli gritted his teeth.
This feeling of being a lamb to be slaughtered is really frustrating.
He also has a daughter who is practicing in Tianxing Pavilion in Sanqianling Mountain and can also help him.
But unless he really had to, he really didn't want to call his daughter and cause trouble for her while she was practicing.
Outside the city defense formation.
Hundreds of monsters were jumping around, constantly attacking the protective formation with their claws.
“How come this damn thing from the human race can hold up for so long!”
“It doesn’t matter if it can’t be broken, just wear it out, I think it can last for a few days!”
"When the formation is destroyed, it will be the day for us to feast!"
"Okay!"
"."
The demon clan is getting more and more excited as he talks, his mouth Dripping with body fluids.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly floated over.
"You can't wait until the formation is destroyed!"
