After Zhao Shuao announced the competition rules of the Arena, everyone's eyes fell on one place.
That's the battle of the leaders!
Those who can enter the top three martial arts fields all come here for the leader of the first class martial arts field!
Even though many of them know that they may end up in the C field or fail in the B field, this will not hinder their yearning for the leader of the A field at all.
This is the time of year when Wuge soldiers are most excited, as if even their blood is boiling. Even the coldest snowy weather in Jingzhao cannot cool down this hot blood.
This year, more than ever!
Because, Wuge has changed the rules of the competition in the past many years. In the end, the person who can win the first place is no longer one person, but a team!
What's more important is that this battle of leaders is different from any competition in the past martial arts competitions. It is an actual battle! Chinese website
"Actual combat? Pavilion Master, what does this mean? Please help me clarify my doubts!" Mr. Guo, Guo Chang, asked first, his eyes still in disbelief.
Of course he knew what actual combat meant, but... was this battle of leaders really the kind of actual combat he imagined?
If this is the case, it would subvert the previous tradition of martial arts competitions and turn it into a real life and death crisis!
"Yes, please let me know, Master!"
"Pavilion Master, my subordinates don't understand..."
After Guo Chang spoke, several Wuge gentlemen also answered.
They all tried their best to suppress the excitement and surprise in their hearts, and looked at Zhao Shuao with burning eyes.
Did the Pavilion Master really mean what they thought?
Even Du Fengju had a hint of surprise in his eyes: Is the pavilion master's gesture... too big?
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Shuao nodded and said: "As you can imagine, the battle of leaders is indeed an actual battle, and it will not be in Jingzhao."
Actual combat, not in Jingzhao?
All the gentlemen were stunned again. After looking at each other, Guo Chang continued to speak: "Pavilion Master, what does this actual combat mean?"
In fact, they don't care whether they are in Jingzhao. What they care most about is, what kind of "real" method is this actual combat?
Zhao Shuao twisted his beard and said: "You gentlemen must all know that the martial arts competition is ultimately used to select generals for the army. I have already asked the emperor for an order. The leader of the military cabinet can only be selected on the real battlefield. Therefore, Gentlemen and soldiers, you will take part in a real battle."
Having said this, Zhao Shuao became solemn: "As for what this battle is, it needs to be kept secret for the time being. Gentlemen, what I want to say is that the battle of leaders is no longer a battle of life and death, but a battle of life and death. Only Only those who are truly capable can become leaders."
He paused and added: "This is also the general the Ministry of War wants to select, and he is also the pillar that the emperor expects!"
Of course, it was not Zhao Shuao's decision to put the battle of the leaders in the battlefield into actual combat, but was approved by the Ministry of War and the emperor.
To be more precise, it was the emperor's intention to select the leader through actual combat.
After hearing these words, Mr. Wuge 10 present fell silent.
In the face of life and death, no matter what you say seems inappropriate.
No wonder these Wuge gentlemen think so, because the rules of this competition are really beyond their expectations, and even beyond what they can bear.
Before this, no matter how the pavilion leader Zhao Shuao changed the rules of the martial arts competition, whether the leader was obtained by one person or as a team, the competition was essentially conducted in the martial arts pavilion.
Since it is a competition, it means that everything is controllable, including of course the casualties. ——Except for the killing incident like Xie Yi.
Generally speaking, soldiers who can enter the top three martial arts fields of Wuge are valuable talents for Wuge and the court. These talents will be of great use to the court in the future and will not be easily damaged.
Therefore, it is not a big deal if they are injured in the martial arts competition, because the Pavilion Master is here and Mr. Ten is there
Now, you can stop the competition at any time.
But in actual combat...
Since it is a real battle, no one can stop at any time, but it is a real battle between life and death.
These martial arts gentlemen, with the exception of Du Fengju, are all people who have actually experienced in various Davids. They know what actual combat is like.
The so-called actual combat is by no means a competition, but real bloodshed and death. This is not a joke, nor can it be made up for!
This last battle of leaders is going to be conducted in this way?
"Is this...worth it? If something happens to these soldiers..." Guo Chang murmured, his expression indescribable for a moment.
He has the desire to compete for the leadership, but he also knows that once these people die, there will be nothing.
Is it worth it for a leader?
Wuge spends so much time and energy cultivating military talents for the country, and then pushes them out before they have grown enough to become talents. This... is this something Wuge can do?
There are many gentlemen who think like Guo Chang. They move their lips and want to say something, but they have nothing to say.
They don't want the soldiers to shed blood and sacrifice, but how can the people in the army miss this?
Zhao Shuao's voice deepened and he said: "Indeed, all gentlemen must consider whether it is worth it or not. The imperial court will not be willing to sacrifice so many talents in vain. Therefore, only the people from the three winning teams in the battle of leaders can I will participate in actual combat."
There are only fifteen people in the three teams at most. Even if there are some unexpected results, the court can still bear it.
Can it still be calculated this way?
Du Fengju glanced at Zhao Shuao and wanted to say something, but suppressed it.
Although these fifteen people are small in number, all of them who can make it to the final team are leaders in the army. If given time, they will definitely be of great use to the country.
At this time, if it is used in actual combat, this... is actually strangling the seedlings and encouraging their growth?
What's the use of sacrificing these elite talents in exchange for leaders?
For the country, this is not actually the selection of talents, but more like unnecessary loss.
After all, among these people, there may be a general in the future, who will be an important weapon to the country.
If a heavy weapon is born early, it will either be easily broken or destroyed. No matter from which aspect, it will do more harm than good.
Your Majesty, how could you make such a decision?
Yes, in Du Fengju's view, the person who made such rules for the competition was not Zhao Shuao, the master of the martial arts pavilion, nor the Ministry of War, but the emperor!
Without the emperor's instructions, neither the Ministry of War nor Zhao Shuao would have the courage.
Throw these fifteen people on an actual battlefield, and it is still a battlefield far away from Jingzhao. What if... these fifteen people cannot come back?
At this time, Du Fengju suddenly had an idea in his mind: Could it be that this is the real reason why the emperor made this intention?
