C552 General Fei Lian
C552 General Fei Lian
Yang Xuan sighed lightly, as if it was not worth it for Yuwen Jian.
He swooped down from the sky, and chopped Yuwen Jian's neck with a knife. Although Yuwen Jian had already broken through to the Fourth Stage, his strength couldn't be compared to Yang Xuan's. Even though he had tried his best to use the Spiritual Force to defend against Yang Xuan's attack, under the attack of the hand blade... What?
The next day.
It was dawn. After the night of celebration, the soldiers were still sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a loud and clear horn sounded. The soldiers scrambled to get up from their dreams. They found their armor and weapons in their hands and rushed out of the tent.
This bugle horn was the assembly number of the Great Wei Army.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the soldiers had already rushed out of the tent and finished in front of the camp.
Zhou Fengmiao looked at all the soldiers in front of him with satisfaction and nodded. He said, "Last night, when Stephen, who was in charge of logistics, was passing on information to the spectral cultivators, Marquis of Lo Capital found out that when he was about to escape... He was captured alive."
Zhou Fengmiao's voice was not loud, but under the effect of a small magic weapon, it entered the ears of every soldier. This was a magic weapon developed by prime minister Xu. Its most important function was to transmit sound to further places.
Otherwise, with the army of Profound Gate Pass numbering in the hundreds of thousands, even if Zhou Fengmiao shouted until his throat was broken, he wouldn't let everyone hear his voice.
"General Yuwen? He is actually a spy for the ghost cultivators?"
The crowd started to discuss. General Yuwen Jian did not like to befriend people, so there were not many people who knew him. In fact, in the eyes of many people, his behavior had long been abnormal.
"Silence."
Zhou Fengmiao roared again, and all the soldiers on the scene quietened down.
"I will handle Yuwen Jian's matter. I have already submitted a memorial to His Majesty, and Yuwen Jian will also be sent back to the Military Law Office. He will be dealt with according to the military law."
Zhou Fengmiao paused, and swept his gaze across the more than 300,000 people present, and continued to say, "Other than that, I have another matter to tell everyone."
As he spoke, he patted Yang Xuan's shoulder, who was standing beside him.
"I think someone in the army has already guessed it. This disciple of mine... He was also Marquis of Lo Capital. Not long ago, he went into the black market alone and wiped out the spies of the Barbarian Clan. After returning, he went into the inner area of the spectral cultivators alone and dealt with a Sixth Stage spectral cultivator. There were more than three hundred spectral cultivators. Such a merit should have allowed him to return to the capital and be rewarded for his meritorious service. However, the war in Profound Gate Pass was imminent, and General Ning Ziwei Ning, the commander of the Carduus Army, had been seriously injured by the spectral cultivators not long ago. This is the time when people are needed."
More than three hundred thousand people held their breaths and listened quietly, waiting for Zhou Fengmiao to give them the following words.
"Therefore, I have decided to appoint Marquis of Lo Capital as the temporary commander of Carduus Army. I wonder if any of you have any objections?"
In fact, some people had already guessed this when Yang Xuan returned to Profound Gate Pass. However, Yang Xuan's actions had a very high reputation in the army, so there were no objections.
"No."
The voices of three hundred thousand people rang out in unison, piercing straight into the clouds.
Immediately after that, someone raised their head and called out, "General Yang." Immediately after that, there were more shouts in the army. After a moment, countless voices turned into a torrent and rushed into the sky in an orderly fashion.
Even the clouds in the sky stopped because of the sound.
"Stop."
Ten breaths later, Zhou Fengmiao spoke again. This was the reason why he was able to stay in Profound Gate Pass for so long and command a few armies as if they were his arms. As a commander, he knew very well when he could let his soldiers be a little more indulgent. He also knew the scale of this indulgence.
"Next, ask our General Yang to speak!"
Zhou Fengmiao gave Yang Xuan an encouraging look and said to him. At the same time, he gave Yang Xuan the magic weapon that was used to amplify sound.
"Thank you for your promotion, General, and thank you for your support."
There was a round of applause in the army. After a while, Yang Xuan pressed his hand down and the soldiers calmed down.
"I was lucky to be able to lead all of you from the Carduus Army today. It is something that I never thought of. However, this heavy burden has already fallen on my shoulders. I must shoulder it. Although the Barbarian Clan that came to attack has yet to collapse, but there's been a decline. I believe that as long as all of us work harder, these Barbarian Clan will definitely be beaten back to their old home. "
Yang Xuan said, feeling a little nervous. This was also the reason why if one's strength wasn't strong enough to a certain extent, he wouldn't be able to become the commander of the army.
That was three hundred thousand pairs of eyes staring at you. The Qi of three hundred thousand people was gathered at a single point, pressing down on one person.
Yang Xuan's arm trembled slightly. Under this tremendous pressure, it was already very rare for him to say such words calmly. However, it seemed like it wasn't enough.
The Qi of three hundred thousand people was pressing down on one person, making Yang Xuan feel like he couldn't breathe.
Zhou Fengmiao quietly looked at Yang Xuan, his eyes sparkled as if he was looking forward to something.
The Three Essence Silence Spell and Flame Separation Spell Spirit Aura in Yang Xuan's body were activated at lightning speed. The two kinds of Spiritual Force were entangled together, but they didn't fuse together. The two types of Spirit Aura, which were like water and fire, contained a unique repulsive force that helped Yang Xuan resist the pressure from the outside world.
"Something's not right. Something seems to have gone wrong somewhere."
Yang Xuan thought to himself. Under the pressure of the Qi, he felt that all the muscles in his body were tensed up. The Spirit Aura in his body was spinning rapidly.
In the eyes of the outside world, Yang Xuan was sweating profusely.
The soldiers would not act on their own without the orders of their commander. Zhou Fengmiao, Qi Yulong, Tan Lang, and the others were all quietly watching Yang Xuan. They did not have any intention of helping Yang Xuan resist this kind of momentum.
"Something seems to have gone wrong somewhere."
Yang Xuan thought to himself. The powerful Qi had begun to compress his meridians. He felt his muscles start to cramp, and his meridians start to ache.
However, even if he had the strength to resist the Qi of these three hundred thousand people, he shouldn't be in such a situation.
"Something must have gone wrong."
Yang Xuan's face turned red, but he still silently endured it.
The expressions of Qi Yulong and the others changed slightly. Back in the day, they were like Yang Xuan. It was the first time they faced such a scene. Their performance was much worse than Yang Xuan and Yang Chao's.
Zhou Fengmiao put his hands behind his back. His eyes seemed to be filled with heartache and praise.
"I understand."
