Master of the Sky

0Hearing Guo Nan's words, everyone was stunned. Great General? Wasn't it the Guo Long who had made a great contribution to the army this time?    

    

Although Guo Long was also a tumor before, everyone knew that he was forced to such a state. If he continued to hold the position of General status, no one would object. Moreover, Guo Long had outstanding achievements back then. As Guo Nan's assistant, everyone could trust him.    

    

But listening to Guo Nan's words, Guo Long's position, could not be maintained.    

    

No one dared to speak, as no one was willing to offend Guo Long before the dust settled.    

    

Everyone's eyes were focused on Guo Long.    

    

Guo Long smiled bitterly. When Guo Nan gave the order to kill more than ten thousand people, he had a premonition that such a ruthless Young Lord would not let him continue to hold such a high position.    

    

As expected, guessing what comes next.    

    

Guo Long knelt in front of Guo Nan, took off the Armor on his body, and said in a deep voice, "My prince, countless people have died because of me. No matter what, I am the one who led them down the wrong path! I don't dare to stay in General status anymore, so I beg for Your Highness' forgiveness for my life, and allow me to accompany my family to return to my hometown in cloth clothes! "    

    

Guo Nan praised as he nodded his head, and said loudly: "General Long is truly magnanimous, I agree to it!"    

    

"Thank you, Prince!"    

    

Guo Long kowtowed heavily to the ground as a look of relief appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, "To accompany a tiger like yourself and work with an iron-blooded person like Guo Nan, if there are any mistakes, you will be punished. Moreover, the Sea race is coming soon, so there's a lot of pressure on the position of Grand General.    

    

"This king's power is equivalent to that of the Kaiser's, so I have the right to bestow the title of nobility. "How about this, grant General Long the title of Duke, and take over the position of Mayor immediately."    

    

Bao Ding City, located at the Bao Ding Manor, north of Fenyang Manor, had nothing to do with Guo Family. Guo Nan took the Royal Family territory as a favor, but Li Shi had nothing to say. The Shoulder King with One Word did indeed have the authority.    

    

In this way, the Guo Family's territory expanded once again. Guo Long's visit to the House of Preservation was equivalent to adding a "border" to the Guo Family's defensive line.    

    

Guo Nan snatched a mansion from Li Shi's hands. After Li Shi received the news, he was so angry that he couldn't eat for a long time ?    

    

Guo Long was pleasantly surprised. The hereditary city lord, and the guaranteed duke position, these were already amongst the big aristocrats of Li Tangguo! After losing General status, in exchange for giving an even more preferential treatment, Guo Long could not even close his mouth from laughing.    

    

From the matter of bestowing favors to Guo Long, the soldiers understood one thing. Someone who owed favors to Guo Nan and listened to his orders would definitely receive lots of benefits!    

    

All of a sudden, the morale of the troops reunited, and everyone was obedient to Guo Nan.    

    

Looking at Guo Nan in front of their eyes, Dugu Hong and Uncle Xiang couldn't help but want to worship him from the bottom of their hearts. There were so many experts in Heavenly Empire, so many powerful people, but in their eyes, those people could not even compare to Guo Nan.    

    

Why?    

    

Because Guo Nan was only sixteen years old!    

    

"I really look forward to see how Guo Nan will mess up Tianwu Academy and himself when he goes to Tianwu Academy." Dugu Hong thought to herself.    

    

A few days later, a large amount of food was delivered to Fenyang City, enough for the people of Fenyang Manor, Nanhu Prefecture and Linze Province to eat for a year.    

    

Accompanying them were five thousand carts of white powder that were like wheat flour and were secretly hidden in City Lord's Mansion.    

    

The ten Red Cannon that Dugu Hong gifted him travelled 10,000 miles with difficulty and slowly arrived at the Fenyang City. After demonstrating, the Guo Family Army soldiers were shocked by the Red Cannon's power, and their confidence rose greatly.    

    

The selection for the new Great General finally came out. There were a total of two candidates, each of them former generals with the experience of commanding a huge army of a hundred thousand men.    

    

Gao Lin, Gao Song's son. Ten years ago, his position and power were at the same level as Guo Qian and Guo Long, and were considered a hundred thousand captains. After Guo Ziyi went to the Changyang City to hold a position, Guo Qian and Guo Long gradually monopolized the position. Under the suppression of the competition, Gao Lin's position in the army was lowered year by year and he eventually fell into the centurion.    

    

However, he was still alive and had not been killed. This showed just how great his prestige in the army was. Even Guo Qian did not dare to take the risk of a great change in the army and easily kill him.    

    

The other person was called Huang Bo, he was a knowledgeable man, his fighting strength was not strong, and was not good at fighting and fighting. He was more suited to be in charge of military affairs behind the scenes, and was a scholar.    

    

The names of Gao Lin and Huang Bo had appeared the most often during the first round of selection. Guo Nan brought the two of them out for the final assessment.    

    

The one he was leaning on in the bottom of his heart, was Gao Lin. After all, Gao Lin was Gao Song's son, and was once Guo Nan's biological father's capable assistant.    

    

When Gao Lin led his troops to war, Huang Bo was still young, and only gradually gained the appreciation of Guo Qian and Guo Long in the recent few years. He had a very good reputation within the Guo Family Army. He was the only one who escaped the bloodbath a few days ago even when Guo Qian and Guo Qian were promoting him.    

    

Moreover, during the first round of selection, Huang Bo's name had appeared even more often.    

    

His place in the hearts of the Guo Jia Jun was clear.    

    

In the City Lord's Mansion Square, it was densely packed with military generals. In the battle between Gao Lin and Huang Bo, they no longer had the right to vote.    

    

But everyone was waiting anxiously, wanting to know as soon as possible who the number one general under the King Li Tang was. Everyone knew that Guo Ziyi was already old, and that he would definitely inherit the Guo Family Army. So much so that, after the chaotic world of the Sea race, it is very possible that the Guo Family will establish a single nation. This way, the position of general had become incomparably lofty.    

    

Gao Lin is a man in his early forties, eight feet tall, tall and sturdy, with a long spear and a square face. He is a typical military hero.    

    

Compared to Gao Lin, Huang Bo's figure and appearance was not outstanding. He had a medium stature and looked to be about thirty years of age. The longsword hung around his waist, but almost no one had ever seen him practice or kill a person.    

    

The two of them stood together, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, their eyes met, and they were both somewhat unconvinced with each other.    

    

"You brat who only know how to talk! See if I can beat you or not!" Gao Lin laughed in disdain.    

    

Huang Bo pouted and said indifferently: "Gao Lin, other than beating up people, what else do you have?"    

    

Gao Lin's cheeks puffed up, and angrily said: "I will burst your chrysanthemum!"    

    

With that, Gao Lin raised the spear in his hand, his eyes revealing a threatening look.    

    

Huang Bo shot him a glance, and didn't bother to reply.    

    

Guo Nan and Dugu Hong walked out of the Great Assembly Hall side by side, with the Uncle Xiang following behind them.    

    

Seeing Guo Nan, the generals shouted "Your Highness" and "Young Prince" loudly. Your highness was referring to King Li Tang, and Young Prince was referring to the heir to the Fenyang King's title.    

    

Guo Nan pressed his hands together and everyone quieted down. He shouted loudly, "Soldiers, this time's general selection, there will be three matches, and in three rounds, two victories against the General status! In the end, This King will bestow another victory, and it will definitely satisfy all of you! "    

    

"Your Highness, what kind of reward is this? Tell me about it for big guy! "    

    

"Yeah, what other reward is stronger than that of the General status? "It's better to say it to cheer us up!"    

    

The soldiers present all requested for Guo Nan to publicize the reward first so they could "see" it.    

    

Huang Bo and Gao Lin's faces were also filled with anticipation.    

0

    

Hearing that, Guo Nan's mouth curved into a sneer, the soldiers saw his expression and went silent, feeling that something was wrong.    

    

"Whoever obtains the General status will be bestowed with the Lin Zedong, and they will be led by an army of five hundred thousand to guard the Linze Province, to stop the Sea race! If victorious, the title of Lin Zedong will be inherited, if defeated, the entire clan will be exterminated! "    

    

The expressions of everyone on the plaza, including Huang Bo and Gao Lin, changed immediately.    

    

Even Dugu Hong and Uncle Xiang were stunned and respectful. Was Nan Shao crazy? Which show did he play?
