Tianmu Nanshan, located at the southern end of Lingqiu City, is the most famous cemetery mountain in the central part of the Beiming Land, commonly known as the Mountain of Reincarnation.
Before the end of the world, this mountain was very valuable. Only successful people or wealthy entrepreneurs could buy a place here so that they could be buried here after they die.
Various legends have been circulating in Tianmu Nanshan since thousands of years ago. According to legend, dead people buried here can be reincarnated and reincarnated. Therefore, ancient emperors built many mausoleums here, and countless gold and silver treasures were buried with them.
Although with the development of the times, fewer and fewer people believe in these legends, Tianmu Nanshan has not lost its glory. There are still many people who hold a certain belief and feel that after death and being buried here, they will have the opportunity to enter reincarnation and be reborn in a good family in the next life.
In fact, it is no longer important whether reincarnation can really happen. What is important is that this is a comfort for dying people. Many people who are about to die will die more peacefully if they know that they will be buried in Tianmu Nanshan.
On the 188th day of the apocalypse, Zhenhuang took a military helicopter to Tianmu Nanshan to attend the funeral of his father Xie Xu.
There is light rain in the sky and the air is cool. Zhenhuang was dressed in black and stood in front of a coffin with white flowers. There are several priests wearing special black robes doing some simple rituals...
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..."
During the ceremony, Zhenhuang watched quietly, with many red bloodshot eyes in her eyes. The drizzle wet Zhenhuang's face and blurred the tears on her face.
On the left and right of Zhenhuang, there were several generals standing. They are all Xie Xu's lieutenants, and their status is not low. They are either deputy commanders or battalion commanders, and their military ranks are all major or above. They are all wearing black suits now, standing upright next to Zhenhuang, accompanying Zhenhuang to witness the funeral, and witness the coffin being slowly placed in the cemetery...
Behind Zhenhuang and the lieutenants, three hundred thousand troops were neatly arranged. Viewed from the air, the southern part of Nanshan Mountain was densely packed with soldiers. They stood very straight, letting the drizzle hit their faces, and no one said a word.
Until the funeral is over...
Suddenly a helicopter flew into the sky, and a conferring officer came out of it. He came to Zhenhuang, raised his breath, and read out in a loud voice:
"According to the order of Dong Qun, the king of the Snow Kingdom, Chen Yuan, the daughter of Xie Xu, is appointed as the Five Strong Generals of the Snow Kingdom, with the rank of General of the Army of the Snow Kingdom. She is officially worshiped as the General of Zhenxi and commands the three armies of the Western Province."
This canonization order came suddenly, even at the wrong time. Several lieutenants were very confused, why did Dong Qun grant Feng Chenyuan such a high official position? Although Chen Yuan has a certain status in the army, her prestige is far less than that of the lieutenants standing beside her. Some of the lieutenants were Xie Xu's good comrades who had gone through life and death. Their strength was quite impressive, completely superior to Chen Yuan. They were wondering why they didn't get any canonization?
The lieutenants were full of questions, but they did not dare to raise questions face to face for the time being.
Now, there is only one person who is qualified to give opinions on the appointment of officials, and that is Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan stood still for a while, then raised his head and said to the conferring officer: "I don't know how to lead troops, I only know how to fight."
"You are not fighting alone. All Xie Xu's lieutenants will assist you."
"But, I'm not interested in uniting the army." Chen Yuan said coldly.
"Then, do you want to watch Ao Lie's army approaching here and stand on this Nanshan?" the conferring official asked.
"I..." Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly widened and he squeezed his hands tightly.
"As long as the lieutenants assist you, plus the three armies of the Western Province, you can not only drive away Ao Lie, but also avenge your adoptive father." The conferring officer seemed to have already received the teachings of Li Ziru, and even the tone of his words was Much like Li Ziru.
Even the most ordinary person can see this clumsy way of provoking a general. Others may not accept this easily. However, Chen Yuan is different.
Chen Yuan is now staring closely at the letter of conferment, and his heart is ready to move.
Several of Xie Xu's lieutenants are not convinced. They still don't know Chen Yuan's true identity, so they can't figure out why Dong Qun wants to hand over all the three armies of Western Province to Chen Yuan? That is an army of more than 1 million, and it is actually handed over to an 18-year-old girl. The key is that this girl does not know how to lead an army.
A veteran lieutenant finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Even though this was not in compliance with the regulations and might even be punished, he still stood up and asked the conferring officer: "Why should the armed forces be handed over to a child? Isn't this too random?"
The conferring officer replied angrily: "Xie Hu, I don't know if you are going to be messy or not. In short, these are orders. All of you lieutenants, no matter how senior you are or how prestigious you are. From now on, you must obey Chen Yuan's instructions, and we must do our best to assist Chen Yuan without any objection."
Xie Hu is a distant relative of Xie Xu. If you count carefully, Xie Xu has to call Xie Hu his eldest brother. Xie Hu is more than 10 years older than Xie Xu, already 55 years old. In terms of strength, Xie Hu is not bad, but compared with Xie Xu, there is still a big gap. But Xie Hu thinks that he is the oldest in the army, and even if he is not the top, his strength is much higher than that of this little girl Chen Yuan. Besides, Xie Xu's trusted lieutenants are full of talents and have high prestige. They are all more suitable for commanding troops than Chen Yuan.
"It's not that I have any objections, but is this really appropriate? Although Chen Yuan is Xie Xu's adopted daughter and has a certain status in the army, her prestige is not enough to command all the troops in the Western Province."
"Because of this, I canonized her as a five-son general and raised her military rank."
"Titles and military ranks don't mean anything, and the soldiers will not be convinced. Chen Yuan's prestige is not enough to support the command of the three armies, and it is meaningless to give her a higher official position." Xie Hu emphasized again.
The conferring officer suddenly raised his voice and cursed: "It's not up to you to decide whether it makes sense or not. We all follow orders. If you have any objections, why not come with me back to the imperial capital and question the president face to face?" .”
"No... I don't dare!" Even though Xie Hu was dissatisfied, he did not dare to openly disobey the order.
The conferring officer turned to Chen Yuan again and asked, "Don't care about other people's views and opinions. Since the superiors value you, just accept this conferment."
Chen Yuan hesitated for a while again and asked: "After accepting it, will everyone really listen to my words?"
"Yes, your words are orders. You tell them to go west, but they dare not go east!"
"Okay! I accept!" Chen Yuan stepped forward and took the letter of conferment.
