Chapter 416

On the way back, it was unimpeded. Ten days later, Fang Quyin arrived at Zephyr City with his army, and by this time Zephyr had completely become the administrative center of the Night Kingdom, where the Night Kingdom had set up a power body. Ruled directly by the royal family of the Night Country, as soon as Lan Feng and Lan Xin arrived, the right minister directly took the two to the original palace of the Snow Country.

Now that the 200,000 troops of the Night Country have gathered here, no force dares to openly stand up against the authority of the Night Country, and countless civilians of the Snow Country have already stood in the queue of the Night Country. Now the royal family of Snow Country is confined to a fiefdom, and they can never set foot in Zephyr City, otherwise they will be wiped out.

For the Snow Country royal family, it may be the fate of the entire royal family to fall to this point today. For those big families in the original Snow Country, as long as the laws of the Night Country can be accepted, it doesn't matter who rules them, unless it is the relatives of those royal families, their hearts are still towards the declining Snow Country royal family for the time being.

It is the law of survival in the world that the strong are respected, and many family forces in the Snow Country are willing to join the Night Country completely out of their own choice, and similar situations are currently common in the entire Northern Regions. Since ancient times, those who have lost their country have chosen to rebel only when they truly feel oppressed. Otherwise, they would rather pay some price in exchange for peace.

This is the case for the time being, as the city of Zephyr and the entire Snow Country has established, and the rule established by the Night Kingdom in the city of Zephyr is growing little by little. Putting aside the situation in the Snow Country, when Fang Quyin arrived in Zephyr City with his army, Zhao Wu was no longer in Zephyr City.

Zhao Wu did not lead troops to support the Lei Kingdom, but returned to the Night Country in an extremely low-key manner, because the pressure of the war in the western part of the Night Country was increasing, and the Night Army led by Marshal Bai was facing an enemy army several times larger than himself, and the Royal Family of the Night Country hoped that Zhao Wu could go to the western border to help Marshal Bai change the situation. But because of the need to stabilize the situation in the Snow Country, the Royal Family of the Night Country could not let Zhao Wu lead the army back, and even Zhao Wu's return was kept secret.

Otherwise, once the news leaks out, the Snow Kingdom royal family knows that Zhao Wu is no longer in the army, and the pressure on the western part of the Night Country is huge, so it is very likely that the Snow Country Royal Family will gather all forces to launch a counterattack against the Night Army. If there is a slight mistake, all the efforts made by the Night Kingdom in the Snow Country will be in vain, and the Night Emperor will not dare to take risks, so he can only secretly transfer Zhao Wu back.

Although the Night Country has openly sent many important ministers to the Snow Country, and they are responsible for various matters related to the annexation of the Snow Country to the Night Country, in fact, the Night Country has been concentrating on dealing with the pressure from the west. The more critical the moment, the more the Night Kingdom had to show its strong side, so the Royal Family of the Night Kingdom secretly transferred tens of thousands of troops to support the Thunder Kingdom.

Of course, although the transfer of troops is a secret, the people of Snow Country can see that the Night Army has divided into an army and is quickly rushing to the Thunder Country. The fact that the Night Country dared to deploy troops to support the Thunder Country just after conquering the Snow Country was enough to show that the Night Country was confident in ruling the Snow Country, and many Snow Country people were more and more afraid of the Night Army's strength even though they knew that the Night Army's soldiers were decreasing.

Now the Night Army is behaving as usual in the Snow Country, and as long as someone resists, the Night Army will send troops to quell the chaos. Everywhere the night army went, they were all afraid. If nothing else, the annexation of the Snow Country by the Night Country will go more and more smoothly. In addition, although Zhao Wu left secretly, he did not take many generals with him.

As long as those generals are still in the army, the combat power of the night army is naturally there, and those night troops who have gone through several battles are no longer comparable to ordinary soldiers. The night army's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are probably twice as powerful as they were at the beginning.

The growth of the Night Army is obvious to all, and this has also given Lan Feng and many of the ministers of the Night Kingdom strong confidence. As a prince of the Night Country, Lan Feng must represent the Night Country to implement criminal law in the Snow Country, and it stands to reason that Lan Feng is now very clear about the situation in the Snow Country. No matter how many people in the Snow Country are still unwilling to belong, Lan Feng doesn't think it's a problem.

First, the night army gave Lan Feng enough confidence, and second, after the experience of the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range, Lan Feng's mind was sharpened, so as the supreme ruler of the Night Country in the Snow Country, Lan Feng showed the bearing he deserved. After coming to Zephyr City, Lan Feng directly announced that the Snow Country had been destroyed according to the right minister's explanation, and all the ancestors of the Snow Country were now the people of the Night Country.

Not long after Lan Feng issued the holy decree on behalf of the Night Emperor, on the side of the Night Army, the big competition, which was originally used to select talents, was finally established after the discussion of the generals, and it was held in the second half of this month.

The competition is a large-scale competition, which can not be completed in just a few days, but may last for a week or more, so in order to speed up the progress of the competition and improve the enthusiasm of the soldiers, the person in charge decided to set up competition venues in the three existing military camps.

Since the big competition is used to select talents who can be trained to become officers, the strength of the people participating in the big competition must reach at least the fifth level of the martial realm. When the date of the big competition was announced, the fourth-order martial cultivators in each battalion redoubled their efforts, wanting to improve their strength at all costs to qualify for the competition, and then through their outstanding performance in the competition, they were selected and obtained key training.

Obviously, many of the Night Soldiers were very motivated to participate in the competition, and of course the reason for this was also related to the limited number of places in the end. According to the above meaning, this time Dabi only selected 300 people from the army of more than 100,000 people, including sixth-order martial cultivators and fifth-order martial cultivators. Comparatively speaking, a fifth-order martial cultivator needs to have a better performance in order to be selected.

It is worth mentioning that this big competition is not only a martial competition, but also a literary competition. The martial arts competition is a test of personal force, and the literary competition is a test of personal talent, which is simply a military understanding and the ability to deal with military aspects. All in all, in order to truly qualify, everyone who participates needs to be a literate person.

Due to the existence of Wenbi, every free time, many night soldiers take the time to memorize the military books sent from above, which naturally have the content of Wenbi's exam.

To say that simply practicing martial arts is a hobby for many people, but reading books is a kind of torture for many people. As a result, some people who know that they are not good at learning cultural knowledge choose to specialize in martial arts and put all their bets on martial arts, because they are good enough in martial arts and may still be selected.

According to the total number of people in the night army now, there are more than 20,000 people who can participate in the competition this time, and the number may increase to a certain extent in half a month.

Regarding Dabi, Lin Xuanzhong was not interested, but Fang Qing and the others were all very positive. Because of their status, it was easy for them to know exactly what was going on about Dabi. For them, the big game is an opportunity for them to prove themselves. I don't know how much hope they have of winning in the big competition, in short, Lin Xuanzhong feels that several people are working hard.

Since coming to Westwind City, Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Qing have all been invited to live in the palace of the Snow Country. Now the palace in Snow Country has become a palace, and it is empty, and if only the royal family lives in it, more than ninety percent of the places will be empty. So when Lan Feng obtained the consent of some elders, Lan Feng took it upon himself to invite Lin Xuanzhong and them to live in the palace to add a little popularity to the palace. In addition, it can also act as a guard.

The accommodation that was given to Lin Xuanzhong was simply larger than the several rooms of an ordinary inn combined, and the decoration inside was extremely luxurious and splendid, and living in it naturally made people feel like they were a superior person. Living alone in such a luxurious place, Lin Xuanzhong always had a feeling that he was not used to, even if he had the advantage of having a private martial arts training space, he still couldn't dispel the awkward feeling in Lin Xuanzhong's heart.

Fortunately, when Lin Xuanzhong tried to treat this place as just a residence, the awkward feeling was alleviated, and now he can still live in the habit. Living in the palace has another advantage for Lin Xuanzhong, there is no need to think about eating and drinking, and there are special people to serve him all day.

For Bai Ye and them, it was a great honor to be able to live in the palace. And the venue in the palace is large enough that they can get together or practice martial arts alone, completely undisturbed. As people who are ready to participate in the big game, the palace is the best place for them to live.

Usually some generals enter the palace, and sometimes they will guide Bai Ye and them to practice martial arts, which is considered preferential treatment for Bai Ye. Under the guidance of those generals, their strength naturally improved faster than ordinary soldiers.

However, due to their proximity to Lin Xuanzhong, Bai Ye and the others often stayed with Lin Xuanzhong. Lin Xuanzhong's realm is not high, but in terms of body method, everyone can ask Lin Xuanzhong for advice, of course, what Lin Xuanzhong wants to teach them is only some experience in learning body method, not eight desolate steps.

Now in addition to Fang Qing, Lin Xuanzhong has accepted another apprentice, which is naturally Tangbao. After knowing how powerful Lin Xuanzhong's body technique was, Tang Bao wanted to learn his body technique even more, and he didn't even learn other martial arts from his real master, Ni Youbin.

Tangbao's request made Lin Xuanzhong feel helpless, but Lin Xuanzhong couldn't refuse, and in the end, he had to teach Tangbao well. Although Sugar Treasure still hasn't learned any martial arts, he has a great advantage over Fang Qing, that is, Sugar Treasure is very young and meets the requirements for learning the Eight Desolation Steps. So, right now, Lin Xuanzhong has to take a little time every day to guide the two of them to learn the body method.

Of course, it is not unhelpful for Lin Xuanzhong to accept such an apprentice as Sugar Bao, because of the relationship between Sugar Treasure, Sugar Coat took the initiative to ask to be in charge of Lin Xuanzhong's life. Originally, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to accept the sugar-coated thanks, but under Fang Qing's intervention, he could only agree, and Fang Qing was treated the same way.

At first, Fang Qing wanted to live with Lin Xuanzhong, so that Lin Xuanzhong could teach him at any time, but unfortunately Fang Qing's idea was good, but Lin Xuanzhong did not agree, so Fang Qing could only retreat and live next door to Lin Xuanzhong with Tangbao, and Ni Youbin lived with Fang Qing.

The three often hang out together, but they have established a very close relationship with each other. As for Sugar Coat, because she still has to take care of Lan Xin's relationship, she was directly invited to live with Princess Lan Xin.
