Volume 1 The Domain of the Night Chapter 64 The General Assembly Convenes, the Twenty-Year-Old General
……
The sun rises from the east, and the bright golden yellow illuminates the land of the Night.
On the largest square of the city, there was a crowd of people, and countless people looked up at all this, their eyes full of sadness and hope.
Ten days have passed since the incident in the West Mountain, and it has rained for nearly ten days in the northwest.
It was the first time they had seen the sun in these days.
The clouds and gloom were dispelled, and the crowd stood solemnly, all looking to the middle of the square, where there was a wide road, large enough for twenty people to stand at once, made of bluestone slabs and bricks.
On this road, there were dozens of supernatural beings from different forces at this time, they walked hundreds of meters with expressionless faces, and finally reached the top of the square, where there was a huge high platform made of cement, which could accommodate hundreds of people, and all equipped with special seats.
All the people who came to participate in this conference were seated here.
There was no sense of ceremony, but after all the people who should have arrived had arrived, the conference began.
"Everyone!" , a tall man in a purple shirt with a national character face cleared his throat, and then spoke to the ring magic weapon in his hand, "I am Wu Ye, the city lord of Buluo City." ”
"Today is the day when we don't fall into the city, announce the battle of Xishan, and hold an experience exchange conference, I don't waste time, go straight to the topic!"
The man looked down with a serious expression, his voice was played by the blue ring, but it was not so deafening that everyone could hear it clearly.
And as he spoke, the supernatural beings sitting on both sides of the high platform all stood up, even Yin Zhongxiu, who had a bandage on his right shoulder, which represented respect for the city lord.
"Today is the tenth day of the end of the chaos in Xishan, and in the past ten days, because the battle damage is unknown, I, like everyone, have been in dire straits."
The man looked at the people below, there were women with babies in their arms, soldiers covered in gauze bandages, they were ordinary people, and there was only one purpose for coming here.
- In the battle of Xishan, many people died, but also lost a lot.
These days, they have been searching for those missing soldiers and civilians, and only a few people have been found, and the rest are probably all white bones, swallowed by wild beasts and ghosts.
But it is precisely because of this that the relatives of those lost soldiers will hold on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that their families will just get lost and can return safely.
But this is a fairy tale story after all, and just yesterday afternoon, the Fifth Division had already given the complete statistics.
Wu Ye took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice:
"Next, I will announce the specific details of the case of the pollution source in Xishan."
"The first is the battle damage that everyone is most concerned about."
"A total of 47,481 people participated in the clean-up of pollution sources."
"The near-flag army that does not fall into the city accounts for 30,000 people."
"The supernatural powers of the major forces, including the ninety-four supernatural abilities of the First Division of the Demon Slayer Division, a total of three hundred and seventy-two people."
"In each village, the tribe spontaneously formed a guard, accounting for a total of 17,469 people."
When the man said this, he looked at the scroll full of numbers and names in his hand, and then at the expectant eyes of the people below, and he couldn't bear to read it any more.
"I'll do it."
Yin Zhongxiu sighed and patted Wu Ye's shoulder, whose eyes were slightly red, and handed over the scroll and the amplification magic weapon.
"I'll continue to announce the specific battle situation of this Xishan battle."
"Nearly the banner army of 30,000 people, led by General Ji Chang, set up three lines of defense on the periphery of Xishan, stretched for 100 miles, held on for 17 hours, killed countless ghosts, after the end of the night, survived 2,210 people, of which 319 were seriously injured, after returning to the city, 74 people died without healing from serious injuries, 1,290 people were slightly injured, 601 people were missing, and after hard work, only the bodies of three people were found......"
Yin Zhongxiu spoke without hurry, without the slightest fluctuation, and read out these numbers.
Everyone present, whether it was related to the Flag Army or not, was in awe.
There is a man with a strong temperament, who is even red in public, kneeling in the direction of the West Mountain, as if he is worshipping those dead heroic souls.
These few lines of words have torn up many families, so countless people hid their faces and wept.
Previously, there were hopes that their relatives were not killed in battle, but missing, but now the results have been announced, and only three missing people have been found, and they are still bodies.
Xishan is too dangerous, not everyone can be like Yin Zhongxiu, running for several hours in the treacherous night, experiencing the obstruction of countless big demons and ghosts, and then returning safely to the city without falling.
"I can't blame the Near-Flag Army for such casualties."
On the high platform, a young man with good facial features, wearing battle armor, and rough skin, but very textured, stood up and said loudly.
The eyes of countless people were instantly attracted by him.
In the eyes of everyone looking at him, there was anger, hatred, and incomprehension, but more importantly, awe.
Yes, the people revere him, the one from the heart.
Because he is the youngest and most famous general in the Domain of Strange Nights, and even in the entire Great Xia, his name is Ji Chang.
Although the style is no longer there, everyone who lives in the domain of the night still knows this face.
In the crowd, only a young man in a cloth shirt scratched his head, and after looking left and right, his eyes were full of puzzlement.
"Listening to his voice, it's obviously not much older than me, why does he look so old?"
Xu Mu looked at the armored young man who was talking on the high platform, and muttered with some doubts.
"General Ji leads the troops to fight all the year round, and when he is stable, he will personally lead the army to practice under the sun every day, of course, he does not look young."
Xu Mu turned his head to look and saw a man with a wide body and a fat body, who was sighing with melancholy on his face.
"The child of my younger brother's family was selected into the Near Flag Army when he was just an adult, and this time in the Battle of Xishan, it is said that he met a breathtaking fox demon head-on."
"According to what he said, if General Ji Chang hadn't made a timely move, then the scout team including him would have become a wisp of revenant."
Hearing the man's sigh, the eyes of the people around him suddenly became complicated.
"Alas, my sister's child is not so lucky, the team he is in is said to have met a group of mutated demon wolves, bit him off the lower half of his body, and before he could return to the city, he bled to death."
"My family is also ......"
Xu Mu's unintentional words immediately aroused a heated discussion among the people around him, and it was not until the general on the high platform held his helmet, bent down, and bowed deeply to everyone that the square became quiet again.
Then, almost all of the people in the square of the city, except for those who were disabled or injured and could not move, bent down and respectfully returned the salute.
Xu Mumian wore a black scarf and stood in place, not bowing, but a little puzzled why he was so popular with the crowd.
You must know that in Great Xia, the people and the soldiers have always been at odds.
"It turns out that he is Ji Chang."
When Xu Mu couldn't figure it out, a familiar female voice came to his ears.
When he turned around, he saw a woman with beautiful eyebrows and gentle eyes.
This is the young lady who temporarily lives in his house, in the Hundred Clans Alliance, the Nangong clan.
"You know him, too?"
Xu Mu looked surprised.
These two people, one is their Great Xia Dynasty, the little general in the northwest, and the other is the big clan lady of the Hundred Clans Alliance.
The two of them, 108,000 miles apart, should clearly be the right pair of people from two worlds.
"Of course I do."
The woman nodded, she looked at the young man on the stage, and her eyes were full of emotions.
When she first awakened her ability, she had heard of Ji Chang's name.
At that time, he was still the first day of Tiannan Academy, the scenery was infinite, I don't know how many people wanted to admire his demeanor, although she didn't like it, but she was also curious about what Ji Chang looked like.
And not long after she was curious, her most admired brother became one of Ji Chang's defeated generals.
And her brother, since he lost to Ji Chang, was even more depressed, and actually cut off his arm with a sword alive, cut off his tongue and stopped speaking, and jumped into the forbidden land of the back mountain.
He clamored to go to Buddhism, lived like a madman all day long, and his family tried to save him, but failed.
Thinking of this, the woman in the white gauze sighed softly, thinking that her brother, who was also the pride of a generation of heaven, pushed the invincible opponent of the same generation, but in the end she was defeated in the hands of that person, and she was completely crazy......
"It looks much weaker than rumored to be haggard and weak."
The woman observed carefully, as if she wanted to engrave Ji Chang's appearance in her heart and take revenge in the future.
"I lead troops to fight every day, and I don't have much time to practice, so of course I'm haggard."
Nangong Maoguan also appeared on Xu Mu's side, and he was also emotional.
He is an elder of the Nangong family, and naturally knows that seven years ago, Tianjiao, who was regarded as the next generation patriarch by his Nangong family, was crazy because of this person.
But he didn't have the slightest resentment.
That battle was fair and just, and if you lose, you can only blame your skills for not being as good as others.
"What this little guy did back then shook the entire cultivation world."
"But I was really surprised to see him look down today."
Nangong Mao looked at the young man who was on the stage, bowed silently and apologized, and gently stroked the beard on his chin:
"If he could bow his head to Emperor Xia like this back then, then this genius who shocked the Strange Ability World might not need to be relegated here."
"If it weren't for wasting seven years of time, he would probably have seen the threshold of the domain master by now."
The old man sighed softly, he remembered it well.
Ji Chang was twenty-two years old that year and was in the Three Realms, and now he is twenty-nine years old and still in the Three Realms, although the Domain of the Night is extremely restrictive to becoming a lord, but with his talent, the lord of the realm, it should be difficult for him to be.
The only explanation is that because of the events of the past, this genius was affected, and he was in such a poor and remote place that was not suitable for cultivation, and there was no elixir to assist him, so he would be like this.
Xu Mu listened to the old man's words, and couldn't help but be more curious about the young general on the high platform.
What kind of person can be famous in the cultivation world, and even the domain master who is far away in the Hundred Clans Alliance can know his name, and he is sure that he will have a chance to be a domain master at the age of forty?
And bowing to Emperor Xia and being degraded, what is the story of this?
