NOVPUBZhao Kang, proficient in Mysterious Phenomenon.
Wu Da, entry-level in Mysterious Phenomenon.
Zhu Tong, Wang Li, Xu Bin, Liu Jinkui, Xiong Qiuan, Feng Yong and others had already achieved Mastery of Meridian Passage.
Their strength was sufficient to serve as mid to high-ranking military officers.
Moreover, they had yet to report to the court, remaining in a concealed state of cultivation.
"After the superior leaves, we will likely be neither here nor there, and in eight or nine cases out of ten, we will be sent to serve in the garrison."
Everyone's mood was somewhat disheartened.
But it was at this moment.
They suddenly heard Chen Sansi speak.
"Zhao Kang, Wu Da, heed the command!"
"Ah?"
Zhao Kang and Wu Da were startled for a moment, but after they came to their senses, they both clasped their fists and said, "Your subordinates are listening!"
"From tomorrow onwards, the two of you will serve as the main and deputy generals, respectively, in charge of the Sky Wolf Camp."
"My lord?!"
Upon hearing this,
not only Zhao Kang and Wu Da, but everyone present was stunned. They looked at each other, exchanging glances. After about a dozen breaths, one by one they came to a realization. Then, their bodies began to tremble slightly, and their pupils shook uncontrollably.
Taking the lead, they said in a sonorous yet restrained tone, "Your subordinates accept the order!"
"Xu Bin, Wang Li, Feng Yong, Liu Jinkui, Xiong Qiuan, heed the command!"
Chen Sansi continued, "From tomorrow onwards, you four will replace Xia Cong, Xiao Zheng, You Jike, Meng Dingxin, and Dong Yulin, serving respectively as the assistant generals of the front, rear, left, right, and center armies."
"Your subordinates heed the command!"
The crowd responded in unison.
In the course of the conversation,
three more people arrived from the back mountain!
They were Bai Thingzhi, Xie Sishu, and Lu Shuhua.
These three
had met during their time as Selected Points, and afterwards, they went through the Ming State campaign together. Later, to isolate the Hongze Camp, they were dispersed to various camps to serve as assistant generals, and to this day, they are like the brothers from Po Yang, harboring the Sinking Formation Death Will.
After Guan Du, they re-established contact, and the journey back to Liangzhou was delayed for so long, not just for the sake of cultivation.
Chen Sansi spoke, "Bai Thingzhi, Xie Sishu, Lu Shuhua, heed the command."
"Your subordinates heed the command!"
"From tomorrow onwards, the three of you will each stay in your camps and act according to the situation."
"Understood!"
"..."
When the voice fell,
another six people arrived one after another. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
They were the six senior brothers and sisters.
"I have entered the Martial Saint Realm!"
"I, too, broke through the bottleneck just half an hour ago."
"..."
Senior Brother Seven, Ye Fengxiu, and Senior Sister Nine, Rong Yanqiu, both successfully entered the Martial Saint Realm.
Together with Senior Brother Six, Wang Zhi, there should be three Martial Saints, no, four to be exact.
From a corner of the back mountain, a person in a coarse cloth hemp garment hurried over.
Deng Feng.
He, too, was notified after Guan Du. Leaving his original location, he fled overnight with his family, traveling day and night to reach Liangzhou.
Before this, he had already entered the Martial Saint Realm.
"Finally, no need to play the grandchild anymore."
Deng Feng, who seemed to have been holding back his resentment for a long time, grumbled, "Over there, they called me Supervisor, but in fact, I was nothing but a figurehead; nobody listened to me at all."
"Is everyone here?"
Senior Sister Nine, Rong Yanqiu, sat down and said seriously, "Junior brother, shall we start?"
"We're short one."
Chen Sansi glanced at the direction of the back door leading to the mansion and said indifferently, "But no matter, let's start anyway."
"Short one?"
Before the others had time to ponder who the last person was, they heard the white robe continue to methodically assign specific roles to each person.
"Wang Zhi, heed my command, after tomorrow, you will be the Main General of the Hongze Camp."
"Ye Fengxiu, Rong Yanqiu, heed my command, after tomorrow, you will be the Main General of the Heavenly Strategy Camp."
"Cheng Wei, Meng Guangxin, heed my command, from tomorrow on, the two of you will jointly manage the Azure Dragon Camp."
"Deng Feng, heed my command, after tomorrow, you will manage the Vermilion Bird Camp."
"..."
"Understood!"
The senior brothers and sisters all complied with the arrangements.
"Junior brother..."
Cheng Wei, puzzled, said, "According to your arrangements, we can control at least seven camps after tomorrow, that is, a hundred thousand troops. Can it really go so smoothly?"
Chen Sansi did not answer directly but beckoned, "Bring me the map."
The crowd was stunned and began to fumble on themselves.
"Who has the map?"
Ever since Xu Wencai was transferred away, the map was usually carried by Assistant General Xia Cong, who was ready to provide it at a moment's notice, thoroughly prepared. Now that he was absent, naturally, it couldn't be produced immediately.
Of course, maps were not something the Governor Mansion lacked.
"My lord, please wait a moment."
Zhao Kang was about to go get it.
Then they heard a cold snort, followed by a familiar voice.
"A bunch of fools!"
"Without this marquis, my lord must have had a tough few years!"
In the darkness.
A figure emerged from the shadows to the light, feather fan in hand, exuding an extraordinary bearing. It wasn't until his face became visible that it looked somewhat out of place with his attire. If it wasn't Mr. Wo Long, then who else could it be?
"The lazy one?"
Zhu Tong, who had only recently been quietly released from the death cell, saw this scene, his eyes widened in astonishment, almost convinced he was dreaming.
"Old Xu?"
"You, you..."
Zhao Kang stammered, "Aren't you a lapdog for the court?"
"So Mr. Xu has been on my junior brother's side all along."
Cheng Wei clicked his tongue in admiration and said, "All those rumors on the streets about discord between you and my junior brother, those were also deliberately spread by you to deceive the court, weren't they? What a 'counter scheme'! Truly befitting of 'Wo Long,' renowned alongside the fourth brother."
"You're acting?"
Only at this moment.
The people from Po Yang had an epiphany.
It turned out that the "breaking-off wine" and everything else from years ago were all a performance for the court!
"Nonsense!"
Xu Wencai cursed unapologetically, "If I had not made such a gesture, would I be able to control thirty thousand elite troops across two camps today?!"
"Alright, alright, alright, I always knew that although you're lazy, you still have a bit of conscience!"
