Chapter 394: Fox Tribe Great Demon, Commander Alternative! (Two in One)

The nine huge tails were then retracted and all sank into the body of a beautiful woman on the top of the mountain.

The woman was dressed in a white veil, and had a strong aura that frightened many monsters around her. They dared not approach the mountain where she was, let alone talk to her casually.

Now she is a great monster, enough to make all monsters bow down.

Even the fox monsters who were at the same level as her in the past had to be in awe of her at this moment.

Xi Yanxue was very satisfied with the scene of all monsters submitting to her, and a touching smile appeared on her flawless cheeks.

However, soon, this smile was restrained.

Her eyes moved around, but she didn't see the person she cherished most!

"Come here!"

Soon, a fox monster on the mountain approached anxiously and admitted his mistake before she asked.

"Madam, we are damned for not being able to keep an eye on the young master"

Xi Yanxue's eyes melted, and the whole mountain was suddenly filled with evil winds.

"Where is she!"

"She went to Yunzhou." The fox demon reported carefully.

Then he quickly took out the letter left by Su Qingqing and presented it.

Xi Yanxue opened the letter and quickly scanned the contents of the letter. Her originally tense face relaxed a little.

In the letter, Su Qingqing truthfully explained the purpose of this trip. She was simply going to find Song Changming, not to go to the Su family to find her father without telling her.

This made Xi Yanxue accept it.

"Did you arrive safely?" Xi Yanxue asked.

"We are here, Madam, don't worry. We have been keeping an eye on the Cuibai main city. Now the young master has successfully reunited with the human boy." The fox demon nodded hurriedly.

If Su Qingqing had something wrong and encountered an accident, he would not dare to stand here today and take the initiative to admit his mistake.

With the importance his wife attached to her daughter, the relevant personnel would definitely be killed without a burial place, and this group of fox demons of the same race who did not do their job well were no exception!

"Yan Xue, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Outside the mountain, several figures with equally powerful auras appeared, and all the monsters fled.

"Go and gather the monster generals. When I come back, I will go to Yunzhou." After Xi Yan Xue gave her instructions, she disappeared on the top of the mountain and met with several powerful beings in the sky and the elders of the monster clan.

In the past, she could only bow down to these people like the monsters.

But now, she is qualified to talk to them on an equal footing!

The promotion to a great monster has brought a lot of status improvement in the monster clan.

Yunzhou, Cuibai Road.

When the black moon rose again in the early morning, countless people who prayed for the sun to reappear were undoubtedly disappointed.

They knew that they would have to repeat the past and it would be another bad day.

To the southeast of Cuibai Road, a big city was reduced to ruins.

The ruins were almost covered with blood.

Ruined high walls, fallen flags, broken weapons

Many monsters passed by, lowering their heads to look for living people who might be hiding, or licking the delicious blood that had not yet dried.

All these hellish scenes were telling the sad song of suffering.

Over the big city, flocks of birds and beasts flew over. After tasting the huge blood and energy of the whole city, a bright red figure became more solid and seemed to have undergone a transformation.

"That's great, human blood"

The bright red figure raised his head, his red hair drooped naturally, feeling his own transformation, and fell into intoxication.

"It's a pity that there is no master's blood" The woman in red glanced at the shriveled corpse in her hand.

Her long five fingers pierced deeply into the heart of the corpse, squeezing out the last bit of nutrients.

The corpse's pupils were wide open, and the expression left on its face was complicated.

A bit of rage, a bit of despair, a bit of sadness.

The gilded armor on his body was broken into pieces, and the marshal's cloak behind him fell with the wind.

The woman in red suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes with a strange red light, looking at the center of Cuibai Road.

The most important huge city that was guarded like a heart!

"It's been so long, it's about time."

Cuibai Road, another big city fell.

And the loss of each big city brought not only a large number of deaths, but also a large area of ​​human land was annexed by the demons and became demon land.

It's not just Cuibai Road. In other areas of Yunzhou, more than half of the big cities have fallen, and the main city is in danger.

There are even two areas that have been completely occupied by the demons. A large number of people are miserable and desperately flee their homeland under the pursuit of death!

In comparison, the overall situation of Cuibai Road is actually pretty good.

As the southern border, it has blocked the demon army for more than half a year.

Now only four cities have been lost, and it can be said that it has single-handedly resisted the safety of the entire southern Yunzhou!

However, despite this.

In the main city, the military, Hu Zong still held his forehead and looked at the report with a headache.

With the fall of Donghua City, another military commander fell.

This is the second commander who died in the six months since the advent of Heiyao.

There are a total of 48 commanders in the military, all of whom are people with great power, like 48 pillars, supporting the top combat power of the entire military!

Every death in battle is a huge loss for the military.

Now it is unknown how long the evil will continue. Such a major loss is not what Hu Zong wants to see anyway.

"Marshal, the 19th Army was completely wiped out. This incident is too big a blow. Now I think it is necessary to find a suitable candidate for the main flag as soon as possible as last time, so that the reconstruction of the 19th Army can be put on the agenda."

A senior military official said directly.

"That's right." The other officials also agreed with this.

"Then tell me, who do you all recommend to take over the 19th Army?" Hu Zhong asked in a deep voice, not rejecting this matter.

Rebuilding the 19th Army is indeed the top priority at the moment, but the election of the new commander-in-chief is not a trivial matter.

The commander-in-chief of an army is in a high position and has great power. He needs to consider it again and again and carefully. He can't choose someone blindly.

"I recommend Hu Guanyang, the young flag owner of the 7th Army." A senior official stood up and said loudly.

Hu Zhong heard this and shook his head directly.

"Although Guanyang has talent, he is still young and lacks strength. He still needs to be tempered. Being a commander-in-chief too early will only harm him."

In one sentence, he beat back his younger generation of the Hu family, and there was no intention to consider it.

Such decisiveness made the official who recommended it stunned, and he had to swallow back all the reasons for the recommendation he was about to say.

Based on his understanding of Hu Zhong, if the other party said it in this tone, there was basically no possibility of letting go.

The remaining officials looked at each other, and they all got an important signal.

That is, the Hu family behind Hu Zhong has no intention of competing for this position.

To a certain extent, Hu Zhong can represent the intention of the entire Hu family.

After the officials confirmed this, they could be bolder in the following recommendations.

"I recommend Tang Leshan, the small flag leader of the first army."

"I recommend Yu Ruizhi, the small flag leader of the third army."

"I recommend Xu Yuan, the small flag leader of the fifth army."

"."

The voices of recommendation continued, and it was obvious that every senior official had a draft in mind, and each had already considered it, so there was no need to think about it.

The entire Cuibai Road was included, and there were many high-quality talents accepted by the military.

Many outstanding and rising talents were waiting for an opportunity to prove their strength.

Now that the opportunity has appeared, it is inevitable that there will be a fierce competition.

At this time, an official hesitated, but still stood up and said.

"Marshal, the Zhao family hopes to let Marshal Zhao's brother succeed to the position of the commander-in-chief."

As soon as this was said, the noisy voices of recommendation immediately subsided.

The commander-in-chief who died in the battle of the 19th Army was from the Zhao family.

The Zhao family sacrificed an important member of the family and did not want to give up the position of the commander-in-chief of the army. They could understand that.

But such words were somewhat unbearable to listen to. It seemed that they wanted to use the family's power to force the military.

Besides, there was no succession to the commander-in-chief in the army, and the 19th Army was not his Zhao family's private army.

"The Zhao family is anxious." The other officials all had this thought in their minds and looked at the commander-in-chief on the first seat.

Sure enough, Hu Zong's face had turned dark. He glanced at the official indifferently and said unhappily.

"Is this commander-in-chief the commander-in-chief of the military, or a retainer of his Zhao family?"

"This" The official's back had begun to sweat.

He could more or less guess that this might displease the Grand Marshal and he would be reprimanded in public, but Zhao had given him too much, so he had no choice but to help.

He thought there was still room for maneuver, but Hu Zhong's words were very serious, and he did not take Zhao's thoughts into consideration at all.

Hu Zhong stared at the official for a few seconds, which made him feel uneasy, and then asked indifferently: "Who is his brother?"

"Replying to the Marshal, the Second Army's Little Flag Master, Zhao Jingzhuo." The official replied immediately.

"He had already opened up the second Tianwu Meridian seven years ago, and he is not far from the Xiantian Perfection Realm. In terms of achievements..."

Even if Zhao's impatient operation is not discussed, this person is indeed qualified for the position of Grand Marshal.

His strength, qualifications, and achievements are all good, and he is not a drunkard.

Of course, the key is what Hu Zhong, the Grand Marshal in charge of the military, thinks.

Hu Zhong tapped the table with his fingers, but he didn't think much about it. He said calmly: "For the sake of Zhao Jingtian's sacrifice in battle, I can give him a chance. As long as he is better than the other recommended people, it's okay to give him the position of the 19th Army Marshal."

As soon as this was said, the other officials present immediately understood.

"Does the Marshal want to gather everyone for a competition?" an official pointed out.

"Yes." Hu Zhong nodded.

"But this is the first time." Another official said with some concerns.

In the past, there were many aspects to consider when running for the position of Marshal.

Qualifications, achievements, family background, prestige, potential, character, ability to command troops, etc.

Personal strength is only one of the considerations, and it is not the most important one.

Every Marshal is the result of a long time of selecting the best from the best.

In comparison, the method proposed by Hu Zhong is simple and crude, but it is a bit childish.

The Marshal is no different from other military positions. The Marshal represents the military.

The dignity of the military, the face of the military, the strongest of the military!

Therefore, other officials disagreed with this.

"The demon clan is facing a great enemy. In extraordinary times, we should be equal in strength. As long as the strength is strong enough and can kill demons and enemies, the standards of qualifications and achievements do not need to be so strict!"

Hu Zong waved his hand and said that he had his own considerations.

If it is still like in peacetime, slowly and step by step to elect the commander-in-chief, it will take at least three to five years to officially confirm the position.

And the consideration standards in peacetime are also mixed with many things. The power of the family behind is constantly moving and competing secretly.

From the perspective of the military, the so-called result in the end may not be much better than his simple and crude method.

The officials saw that Hu Zhong had made a decision and was firm in his attitude. They also knew that it would be difficult to change the matter, so there was no opposition.

"If there are any recommendations, please report them all. First, list a list of candidates who roughly meet the requirements." Hu Zhong continued to push the process forward.

He said that he focused on strength and the ability to slay demons, but he did not only look at personal martial arts without considering other factors.

Just looking at this list of candidates, it is still the result of selecting the best from the best in the army.

In addition to the military parade held every five years, the military has so many officials, and they are always observing the soldiers in the military on weekdays.

They are the eyes that Hu Zhong has planted in the military.

Suddenly, an official pondered for a while and mentioned another person.

"Forty-first Army, Yang Zhen, has outstanding talents in all aspects. He is first-rate in military administration and command. He has also cultivated two Tianwu veins in terms of strength. He should be ranked among the top among the small flag owners.

His military exploits, qualifications, and character are all in line with the requirements. I think he is also qualified to be included in the candidate list.

The only shortcoming is that he is of humble origin, and his family background and prestige in the army are insufficient. He has not done anything earth-shattering to impress people."

After the official finished speaking, he looked at the Grand Marshal on the first seat.

In fact, if it was in the past, this person could have been crossed out if his family background was not good.

But now that the Marshal said that strength is the most important, he felt that it was understandable to give this person a chance.

"Well, okay." Hu Zhong nodded.

The recording official on the side saw that the Marshal agreed, so he directly added Yang Zhen's name.

Hu Zhong suddenly thought of something and looked at the official who had recommended Yang Zhen before.

"Forty-first Army, how about Song Changming?"

"Song Changming?"

The other officials all paid attention. This was the first time that Hu Zhong took the initiative to ask about this person in this selection.

The crowd immediately began to recall the information about this person.

The official who recommended Yang Zhen showed some admiration in his eyes and said, "This is the person I plan to recommend next. This person has very clear advantages and disadvantages.

He also has a humble background, no family background, shallow qualifications, and his ability to manage and command troops is not very outstanding. His character is qualified but not excellent."

The official first talked about the shortcomings of Song Changming in his eyes, which made some people who didn't know Song Changming look confused.

With so many shortcomings and deficiencies, is it necessary to recommend this person?

Hu Zhong didn't interrupt the other party's description, just continued to listen.

"But I think this man's personal bravery is enough to rank in the top three among all the small flag owners, or even the top position!

This man is very powerful, and has the great merit of killing top demon generals, and more than once!

In addition, some of you may have forgotten that the person who was persecuted by the ancestor of the Zhao family and killed the ancestor of the Zhao family was him!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials suddenly understood the reason for recommending Song Changming.

Nothing else, just strong enough!

The absolutely strong combat power makes this person a must-have in this list of recommendations that values ​​military performance.

Song Changming's past achievements all show that this guy has already possessed the combat power of a general, and it is even possible that he is stronger than some of the generals of the Cuiqi Army!
