Chapter 347: Flag Master Candidate, Returns to Maple City! (Two in One)

"When will brother set off?"

"We will leave as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning." Song Changping said, they will stay one night, and they only came here to explain to Song Changming, so as not to worry about them all the time.

"It's so urgent, why not stay a few more days?" Song Changming couldn't help but ask.

"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, this is the induction talisman. If you crush it in danger, I can detect it. There are also these speed talismans, which I made myself. Take them all."

Song Changming handed over some talisman papers that he usually made 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, his figure blended into the thin rain curtain with the morning dew, and he quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

After leaving the city, the two people 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 make a name for yourself no matter what!" Song Changan said firmly.

"That's natural." Song Changping had a smile on his face, "How can he always let the family take care of him? In the future, it will be us, the elder brothers, who will support him.

In addition, we should avenge the Corpse Refining Sect ourselves! "

"Brother is right!" Song Changan clenched his fists, feeling the cold power brought by the zombie's body.

This body no longer feels strange to him and he has completely accepted it!

Time passes day by day.

This military parade has been going on in full swing for a month.

A month later, the entire military headquarters was completely reorganized, 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 you don't use it for a long time and don't think about polishing and checking it, no matter how good the quality is, it will get rusty sooner or later.

This military headquarters is the sharp blade in King Cui's hand!

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.

Generally speaking, under Wang Tianshuang's rule, all the officers and soldiers were quite content and had no objections.

Song Changming had only devoted himself to cultivating these years, so he was very clean.

His troops also withstood investigation and punishment, and no scandals involving violations of 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 were still some low rankings 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 Pearl 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 on the candidate discussion list is Xing Tiexin.

Xing Tiexin's qualifications and achievements are completely sufficient, but 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 master, in this peaceful period, I am afraid that it may not be possible in the past three or two years."

In the 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 held a very high position in the military department, and was the second, third, and fourth leader in a green flag army.

The next step up from the small flag leader is the position of commander-in-chief!

For aristocratic families, they may not think highly of a general in the army.

But they couldn't 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 working 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.

Back then, Yang Zhen had nothing. It was difficult to imagine how difficult it was to break through the dark road ahead.

Song Changming heard that it was difficult for a small flag leader to be promoted, so he temporarily put aside his identity as a candidate and didn't think much about it.

"By the way, I heard that there have been frequent monster 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.

Demons are everywhere in Yunzhou. After suppressing them in one place, they will rise again, making the people miserable and desolate villages and towns everywhere!

They said this because they wanted Song Changming in the army to be careful.

In their view, Cuibai Road, which has experienced a demonic disaster, may not always be able to live in peace.

"That's true." Yang Zhen nodded when he heard this, his face darkened.

"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 can't this monster be exterminated?" Xing Tiexin asked puzzledly.

Yang Zhen sighed, "I'm afraid that 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 soldiers. We just follow the orders and kill the monsters." Xing Tiexin took the lead to adjust and mocked himself, pretending to be relaxed.

"What I'm talking about is, 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 silent for many years, how could he kill so many of my soldiers!"

"City Lord, those Huali slaves suddenly had a lot of leader-level clan demons for some reason. The soldiers were no match for them. Even General Huang was almost captured."

The general reported that even his body was covered with scratches, and the blood could not stop flowing out until now.

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.

It is the city lord who has the final say on how to make decisions.

But 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.

"Pass the order, the entire city is under martial law, and the city defense formation is open day and night. The Huali slave is good at disguise, and the city gate is closed tightly. No one is allowed in until the 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.

His physical training has 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 some impressions. When I first arrived in Maple City, the previous city lord was assassinated by this 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 them all, but now that he has led his army, he should have nothing to say.

"The letter mentioned that the Huali Nu tribe suddenly has a lot of leader-level tribe monsters wreaking havoc. We must not be careless at that time, so as not to capsize in the ditch." Yang Zhen warned.

"Yes!"

The difficulty rating of this demon-killing mission is not high, so it is impossible to send a whole army.

This time, Yang Zhen led the team and selected Song Changming and Xing Tiexin's troops to form a forced march.

Although Yang Zhen warned the soldiers verbally, he didn't take it too seriously in his heart.

Just take Song Changming and Xing Tiexin to do a mission together and brush merits back.

Such military missions of expeditions are actually quite popular.

Because the merits of such missions going far away are still quite considerable.

In addition to the relatively troublesomeness of going far away, the difficulty is not high.

For such a good job, in accordance with the principle of keeping the fat water in the fields of outsiders, Yang Zhen naturally wants to find Song Changming and the others.

After a few days of rapid progress, Fengcheng appeared vaguely in the field of vision.

"Hmm?" Song Changming looked into the distance and immediately sensed that the demonic energy was shrouding Fengcheng.

Yang Zhen also realized something was wrong almost at the same time, and immediately said seriously: "Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Above Fengcheng.

The city defense formation was attacked continuously, and layers of energy ripples appeared.

Although there was no sign of damage, such continuous attacks would 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 fall apart.

On the city wall, Meng Jianli looked at the group of demons who had been doing whatever they wanted outside the defense formation, and felt a burst of irritation.

Of course, he knew what the demons were up to, but he had no way to deal with it.

The combat power under his command could not fight against these demons without the city defense formation.

His number one general and number two general, Chu Wantong and Huang Silang.

Both of them were seriously injured and bedridden. Now he had no one to rely on.

His real hope was in the main city.

"You must hold on!" Meng Jianli gritted his teeth.

This feeling of being a lamb to be slaughtered was really aggrieved.

He also had a daughter who practiced in the Tianxing Pavilion of the Three Thousand Spiritual Mountains and could also help him.

But unless he really had to, he really didn't want to call his daughter and cause trouble for her practice.

Outside the city defense formation.

Hundreds of monsters jumped and jumped, constantly attacking the defense formation with their claws.

"Why can this damn thing of the human race be so strong for so long!"

"It doesn't matter if it can't be broken, just consume it, I think it can last for a few days!"

"When the formation is destroyed, it will be the day for us to feast!"

"Great!"

"."

The monsters became more and more excited, with saliva dripping from their mouths.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly floated.

"You can't wait until the formation is destroyed!"
