C356 Capture Lei Sheng
The second round's victory was a lot faster and a lot easier than the first. At least, that was what the warriors of the Northern Army thought.
After Lei Sheng conceded the selection, the two parties entered the task of cleaning up the mess. They first provided the antipruritic potions that they had prepared for Lei Sheng's entire army, and then they scraped off the iron powder on the bodies of the many heavy armors.
And it was only at this time that Lei Sheng realized that he had been sprayed with some kind of powder that would make one's entire body itch the moment they came into contact with him, and then sprinkled with some kind of magnetic powder in the array. Furthermore, the heavy armor was made of a metal that was mainly made out of iron, which made it easier for the magnetic powder to absorb, resulting in a certain degree of restriction to the movement of his body, which made his body feel heavier and heavier.
"This kid is truly insidious!" For him to be able to think of such a strange thing and use it, he is truly a prodigy amongst monsters! " Lei Sheng coldly snorted as he muttered to himself. Then, he turned his head and walked toward the main platform.
Gongsun Ze Tian watched the furious Lei Sheng leave from a distance, feeling amused in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that he was trying to hide the miraculous effects of the 'Eight Inner Hidden Gates', why would he create such a ruckus? However, these moves would cause the opponent to lose a lot of strength even faster, which would save a lot of time.
This was his first time using this kind of array, and it looked like the results were pretty good. He had also used this array transformation three times, and in just a short time, he managed to get a powerful Heavy Cavalry. If he could use all five other transformations, wouldn't he be invincible in this world?
Of course, Gongsun Zaitian wasn't so careless as to assume that the first time he used the array formation, he would not have any loopholes. What if his opponent used ranged firepower to attack him? What if the other party didn't enter the array? These are all problems.
However, Gongsun Ze didn't pay much attention to these problems, because the real 'Wind Queen Eight Diagrams' weren't fixed on a certain part of the battlefield. Not only could it be used in combat, it could also be used in sports battles.
However, there were still many changes that required him to spend time to figure out. Once he completely understood all of these formations, then he would be considered the 'number one person in Lu Zhan' on this continent.
It was exciting just thinking about it. Of course, Gongsun Ze Tian didn't have the time to think about it, he had more important things to do, so he gave a few instructions to Cheng Qinglong, asking him to clean up the battlefield. Then, he rode his horse and jogged to the side of the stage.
"General Gongsun, these two military battles have really broadened our horizons. I never thought that you would actually have such capabilities. It makes us feel ashamed and gratified!" Cui Ziyi praised with a face full of smiles when he saw Gongsun Ze Tian coming over.
"Damn, this young master does not have the time to listen to all of this right now. Now that the competition is over, I want to hear what you have to say!" "Sure, let's call a temporary military meeting right now. No, I will take my people and leave immediately. I won't waste any more time on you!" Gongsun Ze Tian hurriedly stopped the old man's fawning and wrinkled smile as he spoke in a serious manner.
"General Gongsun, don't be impatient. This old man will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" Cui Ziyi did not mind as he smiled and comforted Gongsun Zaitian.
"It's best if it's like this!" All the trouble so far had been caused by the Surveillance Council. Although it was all for their own future, at this moment, it was extremely unnecessary. Was there still a need to prove their strength?
He did not have any resistance towards taking over the Surveillance Council, but he did not like the feeling of being led by the nose. He would prefer to walk with others by the nose, which would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.
"You stinking brat, only you would say that you have logic but not mercy!" Cui Ziyi scolded Gongsun Ze Tian and turned to Lei Sheng and asked: "Lei Sheng, how do you feel about this competition?"
"It's no shame that we lost!" Lei Sheng calmly nodded and said.
"Oh? How is that not wrong? " 's answer gave him a sense of novelty. According to Lei Sheng's personality and temperament, he would never admit defeat in public, he would at most secretly toast him with a few jars of wine. But today, for the first time ever, he had to admit defeat in public.
Lei Sheng did not immediately reply. Instead, he thought for a long while in silence before he slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"In the first match, he took someone with him and caught me by surprise. He made me think that he was someone who was specialized in using underhanded methods! I have never placed this kind of person in my eyes, because in front of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks wouldn't succeed! But all this is just an illusion of him trying to confuse me! "
In the second round, he can face the charge of my heavy cavalry, but he is not afraid at all. Before the clash, he forced my charging troops to a standstill, and after I led my troops into the formation, he also let me see what a true formation is. It is not a formation that can be used to attack or defend.
"At the same time, the extraordinary commanding talent that he displayed, the control over the rhythm of the battlefield, the judgement on human nature, the control over the entire army, and the prediction of the battle are all things that I cannot compare with. Just from these few points, his ability far surpasses mine!"
"Moreover, I suspect that you are trying to use these deceptive methods to conceal your true strength. Although it is only the stage of suspicion, I believe that my own intuition is not wrong!"
After Lei Sheng finished his analysis, he discovered that the few elders, as well as the other directors, and even Situ Qingyun, had all sunk into deep thought.
"I deny your 'accusation', but please hurry up and get to the point. Our time is limited!" Gongsun Ztian was the only one who kept his head. He smiled playfully as he spoke.
"I've been in the army for many years, and I don't think that with my leadership skills, at least within the Empire, there is not a single person who dares to point fingers at me, but you are an exception. I, Lei Sheng, wholeheartedly submit to you, and I will unconditionally obey your commands. Lei Sheng looked solemnly at Gongsun Ze Tian, straightening his chest, as if he was the same person from the first day he joined the army. He stood straight, with a bit of excitement and expectation on his face. After a long while, Lei Sheng gave a military salute, and then said with a clear voice.
"Good, good! It was only today that this old man realized that you, Lei Sheng, were a lot more cunning than Shadow and the others! "Haha!" Cui Ziyi's hearty laughter, coupled with the words that carried a sense of joke, instantly caused the originally solemn atmosphere to become much more lively.
Everyone knew that Lei Sheng's move could be considered a form of surrender, it was not because he betrayed the Surveillance Council or the Principal, but because he truly accepted Gongsun Ze Tian, and acknowledged him as the future successor to the President of the Council.
During the President of the Council's selection process, the hardest thing to pass was not only the strength and humanity's test again and again, nor was it the test that made people's hair stand up, but it was the last hurdle. This hurdle had nothing to do with one's strength, cultivation, intelligence, or charisma.
The person being evaluated must first have all the members of the Surveillance Council at or above the Chief Level pass unanimously, then he can successfully take over the position of President of the Council. Of course, not every time the selection was held, there would be some people who failed.
Therefore, in the selection, those who supported less than half would be eliminated, and those who passed more than half would have to compete against the other participants one by one. The contestants had to win all the contestants before they could be considered as the final contestants.
As for Gongsun Ze Tian, he had basically firmly won over half of the votes to support him. This meant that Gongsun Ze Tian could be considered as having stepped into the inner circle of Surveillance Council. Furthermore, with his abilities and abilities, the position of dean was almost readily available to him.
"Just in time! "Hahaha!" Lei Sheng scratched his head and laughed. Or perhaps this was his true appearance!
"Alright, since Director Lei has no more objections, then the commanding authority will be officially handed over to me. Does anyone else have any objections?" Gongsun Zaitian nodded his head. His expression also eased up a lot as he spoke to everyone with a gentle tone, seeking their opinion.
"Gongsun boy, you can give out orders, this old man will watch for you, since you've already decided on the rules, and you've defeated Lei Sheng, then we will follow the rules, this old man wants to see who dares to go against this old man's opinion! Do you have any objections? " Cui Ziyi nodded, and said somewhat encouragingly to Gongsun Zaitian.
"I don't dare!" We will cooperate fully with General Gongsun's order! " All the people from the Surveillance Council bowed and answered.
"Very good! "Brat, I'll leave the rest to you!" Cui Ziyi looked around, nodded and said.
"You don't have to be so polite with that kid!" I declare that all personnel at or above the level of a supervisor will hold a meeting in the main tent of the army in one hour. At the same time, send the order that the five forces and the Northern Army troops will combine together. Gongsun Ztian gave a faint smile as he issued his first command.
"Tomorrow? "Isn't it too hasty? What should we do with the injured ones from today's competition?" Lei Sheng asked in confusion. After all, in today's competition, no one under Gongsun Ze Tian's command was injured, and even if they had, they would only receive minor injuries. How could they compare to his subordinates who were beaten black and blue?
"Don't worry, Director Lei. I will personally visit the injured and guarantee that they will be able to leave tomorrow. You can rest assured!" Gongsun Ztian casually replied with a smile.
"On the road? You want to kill them? " Lei Sheng's face changed as he asked angrily.
"I even killed you! What I mean is, I will heal their wounds and we can move together with the army tomorrow! " Gongsun Ze Tian was infuriated by Lei Sheng's question, but he did not continue to tease him, and directly replied.
"Oh!" I will send the order immediately! " Lei Sheng then suddenly realized something, and laughed out loud as he bowed and spoke his orders.
"Alright, let's disperse first. I'll see you in an hour!" Gongsun Ztian turned around and left. At the same time, he threw down a sentence.
