People in the handsome hall gradually found their seats and sat down, and they all started to change glasses. "Come, Mr. Xun, let's sit with me at the table." Lu Yuanxi always held Xunfan's hand and walked towards the chairman.
Xunfan quickly broke away from Lu Yuanxi's hand. "No, how can I sit at the same table with the marshal? I can't."
"Hey, sir, there is no need to be rigid. You are our great hero and the brother of Split Sky. We are brothers and sisters, so why not." Lu Yuanxi refused to say anything and dragged Xunfan to the chairman.
There were already people sitting at the chairman's table. Xunfan hardly knew them, but there was one so-called acquaintance, and that was Situ You.
This made Xunfan couldn't help but think more and became suspicious of Situ You's identity.
Normally, a cultivator sent to protect Xunfan's family should not have such a high status, but Situ You actually sat at the chairman's table.
Situ You must have a special identity, but Xunfan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
Lu Yuanxi introduced everyone present to Xunfan one by one. Xunfan learned that there were two generals in the army sitting at this table, but their rank was slightly lower than that of Litian.
The other three, including Situ You, were the most powerful cultivators in the Army Soul City at this time. This made Xunfan even more puzzled. Why would Situ You be sent to protect his family since he was a powerful cultivator.
Situ You smiled and greeted Xunfan, looking very enthusiastic. The other two were much more indifferent. It seemed that competition between people was everywhere.
Xunfan's ambition was not to make achievements, so he didn't take their attitude to heart and just laughed it off.
But Split Sky was a little impatient. If Xunfan hadn't stopped him secretly, Split Sky would have gotten angry. Split Sky's bad temper really worried Xunfan.
When will Split Sky change his temper? Xunfan had enlightened him before he came, but after a while, his old habits returned.
However, this also moved Xunfan very much. When someone offended Xunfan, Splittian couldn't help it. This also showed the sincerity of Splittian's feelings for Xunfan.
The two generals continued to maintain a cold attitude towards Xunfan. Xunfan didn't mind, but Litian couldn't bear it anymore.
He raised his big eyes and said, "You two guys are so awesome. Do you think that you are great because you are a general, or do you think that your cultivation is better than my elder brother?"
"I think you are challenging my patience. You know my patience has never been very good. Otherwise, if I deal with you two alone, we will treat it as a show for today's celebration banquet." Split Sky was completely angry. .
The two generals were shocked by Split Sky's words. They knew that Split Sky was not someone to be trifled with. How could he sit on the position of the First Military God if he was provocative.
Even if the two of them were to go together, they probably wouldn't be a match for Split Sky alone. Their expressions immediately became rich, ranging from embarrassment to anger to helplessness, and they didn't know how to cope at the moment.
Lu Yuanxi also had a displeased expression on his face, and glanced at the two of them with a cold expression.
"There is no need to be angry, General Split. The two generals did not do this intentionally. It may be due to the excessive pressure caused by the recent beast crisis."
"The other two generals, you have not seen Mr. Xun's style. His current cultivation level is definitely the pinnacle of today's warriors. Even one of the four military gods may not have any advantage when facing Mr. Xun alone."
Lu Yuanxi's voice was slightly cold, obviously giving the two of them a warning, but also giving them a step up in a subtle way.
The two of them hurriedly saw Po Xia Donkey. They couldn't afford to offend Split Sky alone. Even their marshal was a little displeased now, especially when they heard that Xun Fan was so powerful. That's something they can still mess with.
One of them stood up quickly and said, "Sir, don't blame me. We were the ones who offended just now, not intentionally. As the marshal said, we are under too much pressure and our cultivation state of mind is not in place. I hope you will forgive me."
Xunfan Zizi said it was nothing at all in words, but in fact Xunfan didn't take this kind of thing seriously at all.
In the false polite words from both sides, Xunfan learned that one of them was called Xiuchun and the other was Leng Dong. They were the generals guarding the Domain Lord's Mansion. They had high status, but they did not have any real power. After all, the number of guards was not large. It was too big to be compared with the four generals including Split Sky.
The four Split Heavens each control one-fifth of the troops in the Eastern Territory. They are the real generals. How can they be compared to the flowers they keep in the greenhouse? They may not have even participated in a real battle. But his own bureaucracy is still very strong, how could Xunfan be on the same level with them, and just laugh it off.
Seeing that the two of them had given in, Splitian said nothing more. After all, they were the people around the Territory Lord, and Splittian had to show some kindness to them. This was also to show kindness to the Marshal and the Territory Lord. No matter how straightforward Li Tian is, he still understands this point.
Situ You and other three representatives of cultivators were not as enthusiastic about Xunfan as Xiang Xiuchun and Leng Dong, especially Situ You.
Situ You has always given Xunfan an elusive feeling, and he wanted to take this opportunity to explore Situ You's background.
"Brother Situ, during the more than two years since I was away from home, Brother Situ has protected my family. One day I will have a banquet to thank Brother Situ for his help. Today I will lend a flower to offer to Buddha and give a toast to Brother Situ."
"There, Brother Xun, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just assigned by the marshal to protect the safety of Brother Xun's family. I'm doing my own thing. Brother Xun doesn't have to worry about it." Situ You responded with a smile.
"I see that Brother Situ has a very high level of cultivation. How can Xunfan not bear in mind that you have such a high level of cultivation to protect my family? If you don't say thank you for your kindness, the future will be long." Xunfan said this to test Situ You's background. .
"Sir, that's ridiculous. How can I, with my little cultivation, be able to catch your eye? That's why the marshal sent me to do such a non-dangerous thing, so as not to hinder everyone on the battlefield." Situ You still said As usual, polite smile.
Xunfan turned to look at Lu Yuanxi, and Lu Yuanxi laughed loudly, "You two should not be polite to each other. In fact, you two can take this as an opportunity to increase your contact with each other and exchange knowledge. I believe it will be useful to you both. It’s beneficial.”
Xunfan heard that Lu Yuanxi was deliberately trying to free Situ You, and was sure that Situ You must have an unknown relationship with Lu Yuanxi. But Lu Yuanxi sent such a powerful practitioner to protect his family, and he couldn't figure out why.
Xunfan did not dwell on this point, and then everyone started the banquet. The topics ranged from today's victory to the current situation.
"What you don't know, sir, is that more than two months ago, a beast that had been quiet for more than two years suddenly rushed out of the mountainous area and headed towards human habitats."
"Our military and various groups rose up to resist, but in the end due to the hasty response and the gap in strength, we had to retreat. Because our blocking time was too short, the people everywhere were not able to evacuate completely, causing the death of innocent people There were heavy casualties."
"We were driven into a big city by ferocious beasts. This is my dereliction of duty as a marshal, and I am ashamed of my fellow villagers in the Eastern Region." Lu Yuanxi looked sad when he said this, and his face was full of guilt.
Everyone hurriedly offered advice and comfort.
After a while, Lu Yuanxi calmed down and continued: "The city that can still hold on is already overcrowded, and even the streets are full of people. But what is worrying is that if the city is broken, it will How many people died!"
"Then why don't I see anyone living on the street around here?" Xunfan asked in confusion.
"This is my order. The area we live in is the center of the entire Military Soul City. Solutions to deal with beasts and any problems must be conveyed from here. If the traffic here is congested, it will affect the entire strategy. The emergency speed of deployment will greatly reduce the efficiency of handling things." Lu Yuanxi replied.
Xunfan couldn't help but nod. Although this seemed ruthless, looking at the overall situation, it was indeed extremely correct. Xunfan couldn't help but evaluate Lu Yuanxi's ability to a higher level.
Lu Yuanxi went on to introduce the current situation.
"The current situation is not optimistic and even extremely dangerous."
"The ferocious beasts have surrounded all the large cities near the Soul Remaining Beast Territory. We can only passively defend now."
"The four generals guarded four important cities, and various warrior groups organized spontaneously by the people were assigned to smaller cities."
"In the battle with the ferocious beasts, we were completely at a disadvantage. Almost all of them were defeated, and there were very few cases of victory. Today's victory is the first since the war broke out. This is all due to Mr. Xun. Once again, on behalf of the entire city, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr.
Xunfan felt no joy at all about making a meritorious service, and his heart was filled with a heavy feeling.
