Ten days later, Zhang Yu found out through his internal channels that after he reported the news, the two prefectures attached great importance to him. They immediately sent soldiers to the Desolate Region to set up defenses.
From what happened afterward, it seemed that Tai Bo had indeed tried to infiltrate the Desolate Region.
Because they had taken precautions beforehand, they did not let the other party succeed. Furthermore, the northern battlefront had also sent a battalion of soldiers to coordinate with them, so this time, the results of the battle were extremely good.
From the battle report, apart from a few exceptionally powerful monsters that managed to escape, most of them were annihilated. It could be said that this was a solid victory.
Because he was the one who provided this information, the army had specially sent a letter to express their gratitude.
Zhang Yu did not think that this matter was due to him, because he had only sent back an unconfirmed piece of news. Whether the truth was as he had predicted, whether the monster Tai Bo would come or not, no one could say for sure.
If one had to say who had contributed the most, it should be the general who had given the order and organized this battle.
After all, this was a huge risk, and not everyone could make such a decision. However, he flipped through the report again, and the report did not mention the general's identity. Obviously, this was a secret of the army.
North of Mizar Academy was the Ying Province, and it was also the important rear of the northern battlefront. It could be said that the entire province was a huge military camp, and the ground was covered with sturdy and tall military fortresses.
At this moment, Su Qian was walking inside one of the largest fortresses. Along the way, she was heavily guarded, and the soldiers on both sides saluted her solemnly.
She did not look sideways as she walked through the square inside the fortress, and walked along a metal wall until she arrived in front of a spacious hall. The officer waiting in front of the door smiled and nodded at her, then stepped aside.
Su Qian took a deep breath and stepped inside. Right in the middle of the hall, there was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties reading documents behind a metal table.
She had a handsome face and wore a silver-grey military uniform. She had short hair that reached her ears, and she wore a brocade feather cloak that represented her status as a general.
On both sides of the hall, there were jade walls supported by gold and copper pedestals. At this time, the figure of a young officer in a military uniform appeared, bowing to her and reporting something. It was not until she gave him an order that the figure disappeared.
At this moment, Su Qian cupped her fists and said, "Black Armor Captain Su Qian has returned with her orders."
The heroic woman raised her head and stared at her for a moment, as if to confirm that she was not injured. She said, "Commandant Su, take a seat and wait for a while."
Su Qian replied loudly. She went to the side and sat down. She placed her hands on her knees and sat upright. She sat there obediently.
The heroic woman raised her head and glanced at her, saying, "Alright, you don't have to be so formal with me."
Su Qian smiled and leaned back. Her slender legs stretched across the front of the platform. She took the hot drink from the assistant and took a sip. Then, she sighed contentedly.
The heroic woman smiled and lowered her head to read the documents again. Time passed slowly, and by the time she finished dealing with the matters at hand, it was already two summers later.
There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes. She took off the ear protector and allowed it to climb into the jade box on the table. Then, she wrapped her arms around herself and leaned against the soft chair. After a while, she turned her head and said, "You did well this time. General Wei praised you a few times in front of me."
Su Qian pursed her lips and seemed dissatisfied, saying, "That's it? Did I not do well enough in the past? "
The heroic-looking woman smiled. "Of course you did well in the past." Then, her expression turned serious, saying, "But it's different this time. Since the start of the war, you've wiped out an elite branch of the Mythical Beast race. We've also confirmed that there's a high-grade Mythical Beast among them."
Although the power level of the Tabor Mythical Monsters varied from low to high, their origins were passed down through different bloodlines. They were like tree roots that branched out into different branches. Every elite branch that had a clear inheritance was relatively independent. If they were destroyed, then that branch would be completely cut off.
Su Qian said, "If sister didn't trust me and give me this chance, I wouldn't have been able to do this."
The heroic woman shook her head, saying, "First of all, the news from below came in time. We only need to make a decision here."
Su Qian looked at the heroic woman. She knew that although the so-called decision sounded simple, it wasn't that easy. Right now, the attention of the two prefectures was mostly focused on the north. They had to deploy an army to another place because of an uncertain piece of information. The pressure they had to bear was unimaginable.
Her sister's position was already doubted by many people. If she failed and was accused of shaking the war in the north, then it wouldn't be as simple as just stepping down. She might even lose her future.
The heroic woman smiled, saying, "I heard that you know Xuanzheng from Xuanfu. If you see him next time, please thank him for me. Without this news, we wouldn't have won this victory. "
Su Qian said, "This Xuanzheng likes antiques. I think it's better to give him something more to show my sincerity."
The heroic woman thought for a moment and nodded. She didn't say anything else and picked up a letter from the table, "This is a letter from Yujing last month. You were away at that time, so I didn't have time to show it to you."
"Father sent a letter?"
Su Qian stood up and took the letter. She returned to her seat and read it carefully.
The heroic woman said, "Father is also trying to get Yujing to cooperate with the war in Qingyang Upper Continent. But as you know, compared to the internal war, the external war is more intense. Now, many prefectures in charge of external war are trying to get Yujing's support. So we don't have much hope. We can only rely on ourselves."
Su Qian quickly read the letter one by one. In the end, she was slightly disappointed, saying, "Other than official business, father has nothing else to say? Sister, you're working so hard. Father doesn't even ask about you. "
The heroic woman tried to sound gentle, saying, "Little Qian, it's not easy to send a letter from the external war. It's not easy to see a letter from your family."
Su Qian didn't even raise her head, saying, "I'm not a little girl anymore. You don't have to say these things to me." She added, "If Elder Brother were here, he definitely wouldn't have dismissed him with just a few words."
The heroic woman couldn't help but laugh. She was still angry and said she wasn't a child. But she was glad that the cruelty of the battlefield didn't erase her family's humanity.
Su Qian pretended to be indifferent, saying, "Sister, I heard that there's a new armored lieutenant on the northern battlefield. Is it true?"
The heroic woman crossed her arms and said, "I know you are very strong, and I also know that your combat skills are not bad, but you don't need to compare with him. He is purely a weapon of the military, and you are the commander of a battalion."
Su Qian said, "I'm just curious."
The heroic woman looked at her and gave her a look that said, "I still don't know you." However, she still decided to reveal a little. She gently placed her hand on the metal table, and the jade wall in front of her lit up. A majestic and mighty metal giant appeared. Just by looking at its appearance, it gave off a suffocating sense of oppression.
She said, "He's wearing the latest armor made by the Qingyang Upper Continent. It's said that it can change according to the enemy. But he's the only one who can wear this armor. It's said that he's very close to the top."
Su Qian expressed her doubts, saying, "Very close to the top? He's alone? "
Her Brilliance Camp could deal with cultivators below the high level, but that had to include the power of the creation flood dragon. However, she came from Jade Capital and knew clearly what kind of power the high level cultivators had. Middle level cultivators couldn't even compare to them, so she didn't believe that they were close.
The heroic woman thought for a while and said seriously, "It's said that the military is looking for another person to wear the armor. This time, they will choose a woman. This news hasn't been confirmed. But if they find you, you must refuse."
Su Qian squeezed into the cushion behind her and said, "I'm not interested."
"I hope you can keep your promise." The heroic woman took something from her pocket and threw it to her.
Su Qian caught it in her hand and opened her palm to take a look. She saw that it was a silver metal plate. The front side was engraved with the pattern of the Mysterious Cicada's Wings. The back side was engraved with a few patterns. It was a few overlapping circles. She asked, "What is this?"
The heroic woman waved her hand gently and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Remember to take it with you where I can see it at any time."
Su Qian raised her eyebrows and looked at her sister's serious eyes. Her heart moved slightly and she said, "I know."
Time passed quickly. It was the end of October in the blink of an eye. In the quiet room on the golden platform, Zhang Yu looked at the three new seals on the Great Way. He put the seals away with his mind.
Now that he had completed eight of the nine seals, he could once again head to the wasteland to complete the last seal.
However, it was worth noting that when he turned back halfway and reported the news of the Demonic Fish, some people would definitely be able to determine that he was looking for these monsters. That evil practitioner named Jia Luo might be nearby waiting for him.
This trouble must be solved.
Although Daoist Wanming could help him, it was too big of a favor. Besides, he didn't want other cultivators to be present when he was reading the Great Way.
He thought for a while. It seemed that he had to go there first. According to the agreed time, it was about time.
He stood up and glanced at the spirit house. Then, he stepped out of the quiet room and came to the outside of the golden platform. His body flashed and he rushed into the sky. Then, he turned into a jade mist and a rainbow light and fled to the west.
But this time, he didn't go west after leaving Pingzhou. Instead, he went to the Southern Region. Two days later, he flew into a pit. He flew along the huge pit and finally appeared in front of a metal door.
As he came, the metal door opened to one side. He walked in without any obstructions. Finally, he came to the hall he came to last time.
Wu Ze saw him coming in. He pushed his glasses and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, I've finished the Xuan Weapon you asked me to forge last time."
