Monarch of Evernight: Under the Ninety-Six Ceremony
bsp;Bai Aotu ranked first in military achievements, but he could not let Zhang Boqian say a word more. Comparing the two, you can see his superiority. The wisp of green energy on top of Zhao Jundu's head is clearly the legendary purple extremely green, and the purity of the force alone is even higher than that of Bai Bubou.
Seeing that Zhao Jundu was favored by Zhang Boqian, everyone around him also congratulated him. Zhao Xuanji's expression was as usual when he returned the greetings one by one, not too overjoyed. It seemed that Bai Songnian's smile on the side was not so natural.
Two people in succession activated their energy in front of Zhang Boqian, and everyone realized that it was not an accident. This should be an open test for these rising stars by King Qingyang.
When the person receiving the reward stands in front of Zhang Boqian, he will naturally feel the power of the Heavenly King, and how to deal with it depends not only on his cultivation of the Force, but also his talent. The so-called talent is not an unfounded talk, it is nothing more than the attributes of the Force, the level of purity, and various innate abilities. What kind of cultivation level and what kind of future there is, all are revealed naturally by a simple force of the power of the Heavenly King, and there is no way to fake it.
When Zhao Jundu sat down, everyone on the high platform became more cautious and began to pay attention to those who would receive military merit awards in the future. There were over a hundred finalists this time, but only twenty were able to get on stage and receive the award from Zhang Boqian himself. It is said that several of them are not from aristocratic families, and if they perform well, they should be worth wooing.
Zhang Boqian glanced at the list, his expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "The third person with military merit, Zhao Clan Qianye, is recorded as the second-class military merit."
The whole place was silent for a moment, and then there was an uproar. No one thought that the third person was also from the Zhao clan, and he was Qianye, who was only a tenth-level general.
Everyone who pays attention to the Empire's rookies knows that although Qianye fought with great success in the **** battle, he was only at level ten after all, which was a flaw. With such a low level of Force power, it was nothing more than a limited **** battle on the Iron Curtain. Being able to return safely from the Sleep of Behemoths was considered a great blessing. How could he possibly achieve much merit?
Historically, in battles such as the Bloody Iron Curtain and the Exploration into the Sleep of Behemoths, which emphasized personal combat power, the minimum military merit ranking required to qualify for the stage and be granted a title was level 12.
After all, there is a limit to the so-called killing of enemies by leapfrogging. Generally speaking, those who surpass three standard levels are the geniuses among geniuses. Like Zhao Jundu during the last battle of Yongye Camp, the domain of a level 12 general can be effective for a long time on a marquis with level 17 strength, which is enough to reach the legendary level.
Besides, fighting on the battlefield, in the realm of life and death, has no room for trickery. No matter how talented you are and how skilled you are in combat, if you don't have enough Force power, you can't talk about endurance, and even the chance of retreating when encountering a strong person is much less. If it were just a **** battle, it would be reasonable for Qianye to take the stage, but combined with the Sleep of the Behemoth and the subsequent grand battle, it would be absolutely impossible.
However, Qianye not only appeared on the stage, but also ranked among the top three.
Second-class imperial military merit requires killing a marquis. For Qianye, who is at level ten, it is naturally impossible. That means that he, like Zhao Jundu, has accumulated military exploits to this point, but the level of the enemies he can kill should be lower than Zhao Jundu. What an amazing person that is. quantity!
Someone calculated it carefully in their mind, and suddenly their color changed. Some people also thought that Qianye might have gained something from Sleep of the Behemoth? But whether it is getting fragments of ancient essence or killing the ghost clone, it is a bit unbelievable. Even if everything is attributed to luck, luck is also part of strength.
Although this was not the first time he stood in front of Zhang Boqian, Qianye's heart still couldn't help but beat a few beats faster. At this moment, King Qingyang's eyes were deep and clear, and unexpectedly peaceful. However, Qianye always had the feeling of being naked, with all the secrets inside and outside being seen, which was indescribably uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, Qianye felt Zhang Boqian's invisible pressure just like Bai Bubu Zhao Jundu. It was more obvious than when they first met. He only felt the pressure on his body getting heavier and heavier, and all the bones in his body were rattling. In a blink of an eye, his energy and blood were floating, his face was swollen and red, and he was about to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
At this critical moment, the power on the Yongye side of Qianye's body was actually difficult to move, as if frightened by Zhang Boqian's energy, the dark gold blood energy and the black book were all dormant, and even the blood core was in suspended animation. In this state, I can't even move.
Astonished, Qianye didn't know whether he should be grateful that there was no risk of being exposed in public, but in this case, he would probably be overwhelmed by the power of the King of Heaven immediately. In this brief moment of distraction, the force vortex in his chest suddenly accelerated, shooting out countless crystal grains and melting into the stagnant force tide.
Qianye felt his whole body tremble, the force was like boiling, his face and body were ablaze, and all over his body was ignited with crimson flames of the force, with a little golden light rising and falling like stars. Fu, the brightness and destruction are uncertain.
"The morning light is bright!" Someone shouted in a low voice immediately.
Bai Songnian had a strange look on his face and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xuanji. Zhao Xuanji's face remained as calm as before. This is the case in the White Pine Year, and it was the first time for most people to see the dawn. They all felt that their horizons were widened and the trip was worthwhile.
It has long been no secret that Qianye is pregnant with Chenxi Qiming. This is the reason why the Zhao Clan gave him various preferential treatment. But hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another. Seeing it with their own eyes at this moment, everyone truly recognized Qianye's high talent and great potential.
At this point, the top three military merit list has been determined. Although Zhao Clan did not get the first place, it occupied the second and third positions. Both Qianye and Zhao Jundu showed outstanding talents, even better than Bai Aotu back then. It can be said that In this round of competition, Bai Valve was still suppressed.
Zhang Boqian's eyes fell on Qianye, but he stayed there for a longer time. After a moment, he nodded and said: "It's not bad, but I still need to work hard in the future. It should be noted that the force is the foundation of everything, and it is never good if it is too low. Good thing."
This is also a word of encouragement. It is not as good as the advice given to Zhao Jundu, but compared with Bai Aotu, it can be said to be in a different light. For a moment, many people were thoughtful and looked at Qianye with different eyes. Being able to get Zhang Boqian to say one more word, even if it is to speak out about his shortcomings, shows that Qianye is different, and I am afraid that he has put one foot in the door of the divine general.
A genius who is younger than Zhao Jundu and has the potential to be a **** general! The most important thing is that according to everyone's intelligence, Qianye is a member of Zhao Jundu's clan, but he has not married into the Zhao clan. This means that as a powerful general with a foreign surname, he has not been tied to death by the Zhao clan.
There were hidden sparks in the eyes of the elders and big figures of the aristocratic families. Even if Qianye could not cross the threshold of a divine general in the future, for the aristocratic family at this level, he would still have the highest level of combat power.
Most people began to think about what methods they would use and how much money they would spend to have a chance to change Qianye's family. Daughters of the main branch of the Zhao clan never married into noble families, let alone commoners. This tradition, which had been criticized in the past, seemed to be too good at this time, leaving a lot of room for other families to maneuver.
However, not everyone was appreciative. There were also a few people who lowered their eyes, concealing some murderous intent. Zhao Xuanji sat calmly, as if he was not aware of the various undercurrents around him.
Qianye received the jade medal for military merit. The shape of the jade medal was slightly smaller than that of first-class military merit, and the cone on it was also engraved with silver characters.
After him, seventeen more people came on stage to receive the reward one by one. But Zhang Boqian didn't say anything more. Everyone just said, "You must serve the empire from now on."
After a while, the twenty people were sealed.
Zhang Boqian raised his eyes and looked around, and said in a deep voice: "The empire has been established for thousands of years, and the battles are futile. Today, the four continents are all snatched from the hands of the dark race by the sages. From the founding of the seven clans to the resurgence of the nine clans, and then to Today's four clans, the path to becoming strong has never been determined. Today's grant will be the foundation for tomorrow. I hope you will use this title as a basis to expand your territory and become a prince in the future!"
When these words came out of Zhang Boqian's mouth, the blood of all the three armies boiled with excitement, and the shouts were like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, echoing endlessly on the land of eternal night, and lingered for a long time.
In the military merit award ceremony, the Zhao clan once again became famous in the empire. Anyone who heard this must say that he was well-deserved. As for the Bai Clan, in the hearts of the world, they still have to succumb to the Zhao Clan.
Somehow Li Kuanglan’s name was not on the list of awards. Qianye thought about it, probably because she didn't want to reveal her identity in front of others. Although Li Kuanglan was arrogant and went his own way, he was not annoying. He didn't know why Zhao Jundu and Song Zining avoided her like a snake or scorpion when they mentioned her. But Qianye's curiosity only ended there. He had no interest in the secrets behind the powerful family.
In the list of twenty people, four members from the Zhang Clan are on the list. Regardless of the number of people or the total number of military achievements, they exceed the Zhao Clan and are worthy of being the first of the four clans.
This list once again vaguely shows the strength of the various great families. The Zhang and Zhao families are still proud of the world, followed closely by the White family. The Song family is weak but extremely obvious. Only one person has appeared on the stage, which is worthy of embellishment. Bottom of the list. Not only that, that man was also the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty, not a direct relative.
As for Song Zining, he did not enter the Sleep of Behemoths to explore, and spent most of the late ground war as a military counselor in the Chinese Army. Although there must be other rewards, his personal military achievements are bleak. It was a pity for some people who had seen the Seventh Young Master leading the army into battle, but with Song Zining's attainments in Tianyan, it was not impossible to find another way to be promoted.
After awarding the reward, Zhang Boqian immediately issued a military order. The imperial army will evacuate Yongye within three days and return to the homeland. The private armies of various sects and families will also return to their respective positions. Therefore, the camp was very busy. A group of soldiers packed up their weapons and equipment and were busy from morning to night. It was a scene of swords and guns being put into storage and horses being released on Nanshan Mountain.
Qianye stayed in his tent for a whole day, stroking the imperial military medal with his hands, his eyebrows furrowed and never relaxed.
Song Zining once said that the war in the Sleep of the Behemoth was just the prelude to the subsequent battle for national destiny. When the battle of Void Flying Land begins, that will be the real war. Therefore, Qianye's heart was not relaxed at all.
The so-called war of national destiny is completely different from ordinary local wars of limited scale. Just like the attack on Yongye Camp in this battle, as soon as the army moves, it is immediately followed by a rolling stream of iron. Individuals cannot help but can only be carried forward by the military force until they die of exhaustion. With Qianye's current level, it is too early to want to dominate the battlefield, and even Zhao Jundu is a little reluctant.
In a chaotic army, anything can happen. No matter how heroic you are, you may be tricked by an unknown soldier from the other side. It's just that Qianye wanted to accumulate military merit, but there was no better time than this. Thinking of this, he also made a decision. He immediately called a few personal guards to accompany him and headed for the Chinese army camp.
PS: This week is quite busy. I finish work and start writing after ten o'clock, so the update will be very late. Everyone should go to bed early and get up the next day to read again.
