Ultimate Assassin System

Let us first turn our attention away from the barren land of Northern Wasteland. .

As for Tang En, who doesn't know whether he's alive or dead, well, let's just let him go without knowing whether he's alive or dead...

…

On Bran's territory, there are two special areas marked with virtual shadows. One is the vast sea surrounding the continent, and the other is the land in the far west with hundreds of thousands of mountains!

The reason why these two areas are both marked with virtual shadows is for the same reason, that is because we don’t know where their ends are... and where our sight is now, it is the latter.

Bran, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the far west!

At dawn, the sky is gray and gray, like a rag that has been used for a long time. It always has a dirty color that cannot be washed away.

Lowering your gaze, you can see clearly that the main color is also gray. Most of it is dirty mist, covering everything. Some are bare hills, rugged dead trees with no leaves left, stiff frozen soil mixed with gray and yellow...

Huh... He inhaled with his lips pursed and exhaled, and the air that seemed to be in vain turned into a strange and uncoordinated existence. However, in just a short moment, the white energy was completely assimilated and disappeared.

It has to be said that in such a lifeless environment, no one would be in a good mood.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the one who is exhaling. She was also in a bad mood, very bad, but her ability to adjust was very strong. Just by exhaling a few breaths, her spirits instantly lifted, and her heroic face gradually became firmer.

She is Josiah, and she has many identities, such as a respected noble, a mysterious magician, the head of a secret agency... But now, she only has one identity, and that is the new leader of the Gray Army!

Oh, in name only, because she hasn't really been recognized yet. But after this morning, maybe that status will be well-deserved. Well, just maybe...

…

Slowly ascending a slightly raised mound, Josiah stepped up and looked up to the east, with some expectation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for the rising sun, and seemed to be waiting for someone...

Not long after, a slightly older voice suddenly came from behind, Chief Josiah, you got up so early today.

Turning around, an old man wearing blood-stained armor, with gray hair on his temples, and a slightly gloomy expression walked over. Upon seeing this, Josiah hurriedly walked down, stretched out his hand to help, and said with a hint of blame: Old Marshal Omen, your injury has not healed, and you can't see the wind, why did you come out at this time?

At this time, it had been more than a month since Shuguang City was broken, and the soldiers and civilians of the Gray Army who had escaped had been hunted for a whole month. It was only a week ago, after they were completely out of the populated area, that the hunt officially ended.

This sudden encounter was undoubtedly a wake-up call for the newly developed Gray Army and dealt a severe blow. Not only was the significant base area of ​​Shuguang City lost, but the casualties among soldiers and civilians were also huge. The injuries on Oumeng's body were caused during the breakout.

Haha, it's okay. Ou Meng chuckled and waved his hand, I have been on the battlefield for most of my life. I know how to fight and nothing else. These are just minor injuries. I have long been used to it. Don’t worry, chief.”

Hearing this, Josiah lowered his eyes slightly, helped Omen to the top of the mound, and then said: Old Marshal, I am not the leader yet.

Why not? Ou Menghu glared, I have been entrusted by Chief Luo Sha, and you are the new leader of the Gray Army. Who dares to disobey? After a pause, As for those clowns, you don't need to pay attention to them. You shouldn’t have promised to hold an election meeting of thousands of people before... But don’t worry, I have contacted a number of generals, and everyone will stand up to support you!

The so-called election meeting of thousands of people is naturally to choose the new leader of the Gray Army. The current morale of the Gray Army is low and the group is leaderless. It is indeed in urgent need of a leader to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army.

There should be no doubt about this matter. Most people knew that Losa appointed Josiah as the new leader before his death. But the only thing to blame is that the group of high-level ministers at that time did not die. They stayed in the Gray Army for so many years, and more importantly, they enjoyed the taste of power during their cooperation with Bran. As a result, they were naturally not willing to let Josiah, a junior who had only joined the Gray Army for a short time, occupy the leadership position.

It is precisely because of these people's obstruction that the time for Josiah to officially become the leader continues to be delayed. Finally, Josiah proposed that the Gray Army soldiers and the people send representatives to form a meeting of a thousand people to voluntarily elect a new leader.

Those high-level ministers with careful thoughts naturally agreed when they heard this. After all, Losa's dying instructions were of great significance. Without this meeting of thousands of people, their delaying methods would definitely not prevent Josiah from becoming the new leader. But now, they finally see some hope...

Thank you, old marshal. Josiah's expression did not change when he heard this, and he just bowed to thank him.

Omen frowned and looked, silent for a moment, then asked: Josiah, tell me, this old guy, do you have no confidence? Or do you really don't want to be the leader? If you don't want to be, I... Alas! He originally wanted to say that he didn't force himself, but when he thought of the current situation of the gray-clothed army, Ou Meng naturally couldn't say it, so he could only sigh and look gloomy.

Shaking his head, Why does the old marshal think so... I'm very confident! Looking up, Josiah's eyes showed the slightest sparkle, I really have no preparation for being the new leader of the Gray Army, and I have never thought about it. But Since this is what Aunt Luo Sha told me, I will definitely not let her down!

Okay! Ou Meng suddenly felt calm after hearing this, and couldn't help but praise loudly.

As Ou Meng himself said just now, he will only fight in wars in his life and has no vision at all for electing new leaders. But he believed in Losa's vision, so he only recognized Joshua. And if Joshua really doesn't want to be the one, then he will appear very passive... Who else can he choose? Those top ministers? Stop making trouble, even with his eyesight, he can see that if the Gray Army is left in the hands of these people with little knowledge, it will really be completely hopeless.

After being overjoyed, I couldn't help but wonder, Since you have confidence and are willing to be the new leader, why did you agree to hold that thousand-person meeting before?

It's very simple. Josiah raised a green finger and said, The situation of the Gray Army is critical now, and we can't delay the election of a new leader any longer. They want a chance to make a comeback, and I also want a chance to make a final decision. . In this case, why not agree to them?

Oh, let me tell you, with your wisdom, you shouldn't have made such a stupid move. So that's it, that's it, haha... I said you are the most suitable to be the leader. How can they have such brains! Ou Meng Suddenly enlightened, he raised his head and laughed and couldn't stop praising him. Then he seemed to remember something, his smile froze, and he frowned, However, they have been making a lot of small moves recently. If they win over some representatives...

Old Marshal, you must have confidence in the representatives elected by the soldiers and the people. And... After a pause, Josiah narrowed his eyes, With this opportunity, we can also get to know the true faces of some people. .”

Without further explanation, Josiah stretched out his hand to support Omen's arm, It's almost time. Get ready. Let's go directly to the venue later.

Okay... um, don't have to wait until the sun comes out?

No, it's already out!

Uh... Ou Meng turned his head in astonishment upon hearing this, looking at the still gray east, and couldn't help scratching his head, expressing his incomprehension.

However, he did not dwell on this issue. After walking off the mound, he looked quite hesitant, and finally asked hesitantly: What about Tang En? How will you deal with Tang En's problem after you become the new leader?

His footsteps paused momentarily, and Josiah's eyes drooped slightly, with an incomprehensible expression.

Oumeng sighed deeply when he saw this: You and I both know that the fault of this incident is not actually with Tang En, but with that damn Borg... But no matter what, this incident did happen because of him, and more importantly, , the final result is that Chief Luosha is dead... Everyone knows your relationship with Tang En, they will not let this opportunity go, and will definitely force you to make a choice. What should you do then?

After a long silence, I will solve it, um, I will solve it...
