Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 408: Nineteenth Army, Great Demon Blood! (Two in One)

"Sir, there are also innate warriors."

"Hehe." Song Ping'an smiled complacently.

Being able to recruit nine innate warriors from the public was his proudest achievement and biggest gain this time.

Even Song Changming was a little surprised.

Don’t think that just because there seem to be a lot of innate warriors in the army, you can find them everywhere.

In fact, there are still very few innate warriors working among the people.

Not to mention the innate warriors like those recruited by Song Ping'an, who have no background or identity.

In the recruit camp every year, there are only a handful of recruits who have the cultivation strength of the innate realm, which shows the scarcity of recruiting innate warriors.

It was indeed an unexpected surprise that Song Ping'an recruited nine innate warriors at once.

Song Changming first asked everyone in the group to stand up, and then walked up to one of them.

The man had a beard, a square face, and long hair that hung below his chin, looking a little sloppy.

But this man's eyes were burning as he looked into Song Changming's eyes. He was not intimidated by Song Changming's status as a marshal at all, and even seemed inexplicably eager.

"What's your name?" Song Changming asked.

"My name is Xiao Peibai, and I'm from Tainan City, Cuibai Road." The big man responded immediately, his voice was neutral and a bit tender, which was very different from his rough appearance.

Just by hearing the sound, I thought it was some weak boy whispering.

"This contrast"

Song Changming only felt a little uncomfortable, but didn't care too much.

What really made him pay attention to this person was that he was at the highest level among the nine innate warriors.

"With your level of cultivation, you should not be an unknown person in Tainan City." Song Changming asked.

"My master took me away to practice since I was a child. When I came back, it was already the time when Black Obsidian arrived. I have not made a name for myself in Tainan City." Xiao Peibai explained.

All his skills were learned from an old master. When he returned to Tainan City, it was decades later.

Naturally, there is no trace of his family here, but his family can be found in Tainan City and is now relatively stable.

"With your strength in opening up the six martial meridians, you will be valued and treated well by any Green Flag Army. Why do you want to accept my recruitment?" Song Changming asked again.

He was still very curious about this question.

After all, the 19th Army under his command was still in a state of existence in name only.

As a commander without any troops, it was naturally not a good place for him to go, and he was not as good as the Green Flag Army of other numbers.

The other party's strength is enough to be a general in the army. If he has a broad vision, he would not choose him if he wants to join the army for a future.

Xiao Peibai said frankly: "The Marshal may not remember that during the Black Obsidian period, the Marshal saved Tainan City and also saved my parents!"

Song Changming could hear the other party's gratitude, which was very sincere.

I understand that this guy is here to repay a favor.

"In addition, I also admire the Marshal's performance when the main city was in crisis before." Xiao Peibai added.

In the last battle before the end of Obsidian, Xiao Peibai also contributed his own strength in the main city, and witnessed with his own eyes the ultimate combat power performance of Song Changming who defended the city for three days and formed an army of one man.

I was completely convinced by Song Changming.

To put it simply, this person simply admired Song Changming, so he came to him for help.

After asking again, it was found that the nine innate warriors basically came for his reputation.

In addition to the reasons Xiao Peibai mentioned, they also believed that Song Changming was a rare general who was not from a noble family. Under Song Changming, they, who also came from humble backgrounds, might be able to obtain more fair promotion conditions.

They are all ambitious people who want to make a name for themselves and do not want to become vassals of the children of aristocratic families in other Green Flag Armies.

There were many reasons, big and small, but in short, the nine people chose the 19th Army where Song Changming was after careful consideration.

After Song Changming understood this, he accepted the loyalty of this group of people.

Among the nine innate warriors, eight were first appointed as centurions, while the strongest one, Xiao Peibai, was directly promoted to the first general under his command, temporarily responsible for commanding the more than 500 people.

In this way, a small military framework was formed, and Song Changming was finally no longer an embarrassed commander without troops.

With the manpower, Song Changming ordered Xiao Peibai to take everyone to start cleaning up the ruins of the base outside the city and count the remaining usable supplies.

Then they applied for a group of craftsmen from the military and began to repair and rebuild the base in full swing. This was also the first step in forming an army.

Song Ping'an asked him to continue recruiting soldiers among the people.

Only after the military headquarters officially opens the new recruit camp can Song Changming's 19th Army expand rapidly.

After completing many tasks, time slowly came to June.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

With sufficient manpower, it only took a few days to clear the ruins of the base.

All I can say is that you should never underestimate the powerful labor force that a warrior brings.

By mid-June, the 19th Army's base had been completely renovated.

Brand new fortresses and watchtowers sprang up, and warehouses, martial arts training grounds, canteens, and even a long circle of walls were half built.

War horses were galloping, and at this moment there were more than a thousand soldiers fighting each other and training in battle formations in the garrison. It seemed that the beginnings of an army had already appeared.

In the school martial arts field, a light green sword energy whizzed past, easily repelling a strong man and causing an uproar among the surrounding soldiers.

The sturdy man looked at the pretty girl in white armor in front of him in amazement, and said helplessly, "Young lady, you are very capable. I have to admit that you are better than me."

"Is there anyone else who disagrees?" Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing raised her smooth chin and looked at the other soldiers who were watching.

The other soldiers laughed dryly and scratched their heads, praising Su Qingqing's strength one after another, and they lost the confidence to fight.

The sturdy man was named Li Sanhu. He was their centurion and one of the innate warriors before.

If he can't defeat the woman in front of him, the other soldiers will naturally have no chance.

The reason for this competition was purely because of some gossip in the army.

After all, these new recruits from the civilian population had not yet been exposed to the strict baptism of military discipline. When they saw the only female general following the marshal, they began to discuss it privately.

Su Qingqing who happened to be passing by heard it, and that’s how she established her authority.

After Su Qingqing demonstrated her great strength, the soldiers no longer dared to say anything.

Seeing this, Su Qingqing snorted, put away her sword and left.

At some point, Xiao Peibai appeared in armor beside the soldiers and spoke.

"Li Sanhu, the military is not like the underworld. As a centurion, you need to control the words of your subordinates."

"Yes, General." Li Sanhu agreed immediately. He was still convinced by Xiao Peibai.

Although this person joined the army at the same time as him, Xiao Peibai was second to none in terms of personal strength and ability to command troops.

Now he has already secured the position of the number one general under Song Changming, and his status is unmatched.

When Song Changming was not around, he was the one with the most say. Inside the station, at the Marshal's residence.

In a wide open space, there lay the corpse of a gigantic demon.

It was a dead giant python, its body was hundreds of feet long!
The terrifying demonic power gathered there. Even if it was just a cold corpse like this one, it could make people feel scared and shudder.

The evil aura filled the air, and in the blink of an eye it filled the entire open space.

Fortunately, a talisman array lit up and suppressed all the dissipated evil spirit, preventing it from spreading further outward and causing unnecessary panic.

Anyone who has experienced the previous battle to defend the main city will definitely be very familiar with this giant python corpse.

This was exactly the big monster at that time!
At the top of the python's head, Song Changming was sitting cross-legged, constantly devouring the essence of the flesh and blood of the demon corpse and refining it.

On one part of his sternum, another witch seal is gradually taking shape.

The flesh and blood of the great demon made the ritual process extremely fast. It was not until another stick of incense had passed that Song Changming finally finished his practice of witchcraft with satisfaction.

I can clearly feel that my body has become stronger.

"It is indeed the essence of the flesh and blood of a great demon."

Song Changming was recovering the energy he had consumed in his practice. Seeing that his third witch soldier seal was about to be successfully refined, he couldn't help but let out another sigh.

This was not the first time he had refined the blood and flesh essence of a great demon, but every time he could not help but admire the preciousness of the blood and flesh essence of the great demon.

The witch soldier seal, which usually takes years to refine, can now be completed in a few months. The blood and flesh essence of the great demon plays an important role in this.

In addition, the improvement and strengthening of his physical body is even more significant.

As early as five days ago, he had tested himself and found that he could easily generate sixteen ray of dragon power under normal circumstances, and his strength could increase by thousands or even nearly ten thousand pounds every day!
And as long as there is flesh and blood of the big demon, this increase will continue!
As for how he got the corpse of the giant colorful python, it was all thanks to his identity as the newly promoted commander-in-chief.

This giant python monster had been severely injured by King Cui before, and was then killed by a master of the Hu family.

So after the war, the corpse of the monster became the property of the royal palace.

In fact, not only the giant python monster, but also the blue bird monster’s corpse was recovered by the palace.

After Song Changming learned about this, he wondered if he could ask for the flesh and blood of these two great monsters for his personal cultivation.

If it were in the past when he was still a small flag owner, this would naturally be impossible.

After all, he might have had some say in the 41st Army at that time, but looking at the entire military, or even the royal palace, no one would care.

Now that he has been promoted to military commander and holds real power in the army, the weight of his words is completely different.

With the help of Grand Marshal Hu Zhong and finally the consent of King Cui, he got the two corpses of the great monsters collected in the palace as he wished.

Of course, what he got was limited to the extra blood and flesh essence of the big monster.

As for the heart cores of these two big monsters and some precious body parts, it was naturally impossible to give them to him for free.

Even so, Song Changming was very satisfied.

This can be considered as the first benefit he received after taking the position of coach.

After all, if he doesn't sit on the throne, neither Prince Cui nor the officials in the palace will look at him straight in the eye.

"This corpse of the great demon should still take three to five days to refine."

Song Changming looked at the remaining blood and flesh essence of the monster under him that had not yet been taken by him, and he had some thoughts in his mind.

Then he waved his hand.

Suddenly, there was the corpse of a large blue bird and a black swan on the open space.

In an instant, terrifying demonic power continued to gush out, and the three huge demonic auras entangled together, making this open space completely dull.

Song Changming looked normal as he glanced through the three pieces of flesh and blood of great monsters in his collection.

This was all he gained after the final battle before the end of Black Obsidian.

The three pieces of flesh and blood of the great monster all had their heart cores confiscated. Two of them are now in the hands of King Cui. As for the heart core of the black swan monster, it was taken away by Hu Zhong.

This black swan monster was also killed by Hu Zhong. It was already very good that he agreed to give the monster's flesh and blood to Song Changming. Song Changming himself did not ask for more.

These three pieces of flesh and blood of the great demon will help him to refine the third wizard soldier seal, which is a foregone conclusion.

Besides that, if he could cultivate another twenty dragon powers, it would be a huge improvement in his strength!

In addition, there is something else that he is looking forward to and concerned about recently.

That is, this year's annual review is coming soon.

So many things have happened this year, and Song Changming believes that he has had many highlights and brilliant operations in this year.

Having experienced such major events as the Heavenly Evil Devouring the Sun and the invasion of the demon race, his strength has also made considerable breakthroughs and improvements.

Logically speaking, his evaluation this year must be extremely high.

It might even be the highest praise he has received in the past few decades!
Under such circumstances, it is hard for him not to look forward to the upcoming annual bonus, which he thinks cannot be bad.

This night, in the core city area, Su Mansion.

Su Fengye, wearing a long and loose robe, walked slowly towards a cabinet.

Along the way, all the Su family members, servants and maids who passed by bowed to him respectfully.

Su Fengye had a gentle expression and responded to everyone until he walked to the cabinet.

"Come in." A voice came from the cabinet.

Su Fengye pushed the door open and walked in, looking around. There was only one person in the pavilion, with his back to him, looking at the rockery and water in the garden outside the window with his hands behind his back.

"Brother, why did you call me here?" Su Fengye asked.

Su Gongming turned around and his eyes fell on Su Fengye.

"You wrote in your previous letter that you found the Earth Core Fire Milk in Yanzhou. Where is it now? Now that the monsters have retreated, why don't you retreat?"

Su Fengye's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he was about to make up an excuse when Su Gongming said in a deep voice, "Fengye, don't lie to me."

Su Fengye was speechless for a moment, but finally he admitted that he had given the Earth Core Fire Milk to someone else.

Su Gongming frowned immediately.

"This Earth Core Fire Milk is related to whether you can break through to the Grandmaster level. How can you give away such a precious item so easily?"

"Brother, don't ask about this." Su Fengye said in embarrassment.

When Su Gongming saw Su Fengye's expression, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and there was even a hint of gloom in his eyes.

He knows his younger brother too well.

From childhood to adulthood, I told him everything, respected him very much and never lied to him.

Until later, this brother, who was thicker than blood, was bewitched by the evil woman and began to deceive him and even to contradict him.

And now, Su Fengye's expression and words made him recall what happened back then.

He knew that there must be something fishy about this matter!
