Chapter 157: Division of Defense Zones (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Fellow Daoists!”

In the main hall.

Zhou Minghao’s voice resounded throughout the entire venue, instantly suppressing the buzzing discussions below.

Chen Daoxuan sat on the throne on the high platform and looked at the dark crowd below in silence.

Silence returned to the hall.

Zhou Minghao nodded and continued,” Everyone should know that the entire Zhao family was exterminated three months ago. Today, my Zhou family, the Yang family, the Wu family, and the Chen family have invited all of you here to discuss how to resolve the corpse mess on Lotus Island!

If anyone has any opinions, you can voice them now.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

There was a commotion below.

“Cough cough!”

Under the surge of magic power, everyone felt their bodies tighten slightly, and the hall fell silent again.

“Old Ancestor Zhou.”

At this moment, a late-stage Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator stood up and cupped his hands.” Since our fellow cultivators from Guang ‘an Prefecture have gathered here today, we are definitely willing to obey the arrangements of the Zhou family’s commander.

So, what should we do next? The Zhou family just needs to come up with the regulations, and we’ll just do as they say.”

“That’s right. We’ll do as your Zhou family says.”

“Yes!”

The voices below echoed.

Zhou Minghao nodded in satisfaction. “”Since that’s the case, I suggest that the cultivators of Guang ‘an Prefecture form an alliance army. This alliance army will be led by the Zhou Clan.

We will also invite a powerful cultivator from Guang ‘an Prefecture to lead this army of cultivators and exterminate the zombie riot on Lotus Island!”

“Good! This is very good!”

“Sure!”

“That’s a good idea.”

The cultivators in the hall nodded.

Chen Daoxuan didn’t need to look to know that the ones who took the lead among these loose cultivators were basically all deliberately arranged by the Zhou family.

Of course.

In essence, everyone still hoped to follow behind the Zhou family and safely survive this calamity.

Otherwise, the cultivators of Guang ‘an Prefecture weren’t fools. They wouldn’t be able to get them to follow them obediently just by finding a few helpers.

” Since everyone has agreed to form an alliance army, I hereby announce that the Guang ‘an Prefecture Alliance Army is officially established!”

After saying that.

Zhou Minghao continued,” Cultivators who are interested in joining the alliance army can sign up for the army at the Zhou family’s residence after this meeting. Although the battle against the corpse tide this time is not on the frontlines of the Yun Nation, you can still obtain battle merits!”

As he spoke.

He pointed at the red-haired Daoist beside him and said in a clear voice, “”This is Fellow Cultivator Zhang, who was transferred back from the front line of the Qianyuan Sword Sect. He is responsible for recording your military achievements!”

Many of the itinerant cultivators present had been to the battlefield of the Yun Nation.

Naturally, he knew about the system of military merits in the Qianyuan Sword Sect.

It could be said that the military merit system of the Qianyuan Sword Sect was the biggest reason why the itinerant cultivators in the Infinite Star Sea could rise in just 400 years.

Otherwise…

With the monopoly of refining resources by the major cultivation families in the Infinite Star Sea, the itinerant cultivators couldn’t even get the spiritual energy for their daily cultivation, let alone rise to power.

Daoist Zhang stood up and cupped his hands in greeting before sitting down.

Everyone seemed unfamiliar with this Zifu Disciple surnamed Zhang. After curiously sizing him up, they no longer paid him any attention.

Everyone trusted the fairness of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect’s record of military exploits.

This was the foundation of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect’s attack on the Yun Nation. There could not be any problems.

“Everyone, please take a look.”

Zhou Minghao waved his sleeve, and a lifelike light map appeared in the sky above the hall.

Chen Daoxuan’s eyes narrowed. He immediately recognized that this light map was the map of Guang ‘an Prefecture.

The center of the map was the Spiritual Shell Island under everyone’s feet.

The Spiritual Shell Island was marked on the light map.

Apart from the Spirit Shell Island, the east side of the map was the Lotus Island occupied by the zombies, and the northwest side of the Lotus Island was the Wu Family’s Phoenix Island.

The Zhou Clan’s Spiritual Shell Island, the Wu Clan’s Phoenix Parasol Island, and the Lotus Island formed a triangle on the map.

The Yang Family’s Golden Crow Island was above the Spiritual Shell Island, which was the north.

As for the Chen family’s Shuanghu Island, it was the furthest away from them. It was located behind Guang ‘an Prefecture, which was directly west of the Spiritual Shell Island.

Theoretically speaking.

If the zombie tide on Lotus Island wanted to spread to Chen Family’s Shuanghu Island, they had to break through the three lines of defense of Wu Family, Zhou Family, and Yang Family.

The Sun brothers were merely two peak Zifu Disciples, but this was clearly something impossible.

In the main hall.

” Based on the terrain, I’ve divided Guang ‘an Prefecture into five defense zones,” Zhou Minghao continued.” They are the central defense zone, the eastern defense zone, the southern defense zone, the northern defense zone, and the western defense zone.”

Zhou Minghao paused.” From the map, everyone can see that the Eastern Defense Zone has direct contact with Lotus Island. It will also be the frontline of our alliance army against the zombie tide on Lotus Island.

Therefore, the commander of this defense zone must have extraordinary strength. Therefore, I recommend my Zhou family’s prodigy, Zhou Mubai, to be the commander of this defense zone!”

Zhou Minghao looked around the hall.

Everyone nodded their heads. A person’s reputation was like a tree’s shadow. No one objected to Zhou Mubai being the commander of the eastern defense region.

In reality, even if Zhou Mubai became the commander of the alliance army, no one would object.

After all, Zhou Mubai’s strength was obvious. To be able to enter the Purple Prefecture’s prodigy roll at the age of less than a hundred, his battle achievements were all achieved by the flying sword in his hand.

Seeing that no one objected.

Zhou Minghao continued to announce,” The central defense zone will be located on the Spiritual Shell Island, and I will personally oversee it. The commander of the southern defense zone will be the third elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Mingyue.

The northern defense zone will be led by Yang Linyuan, Fellow Daoist Yang. As for the western defense zone…”

Zhou Minghao paused.” Fellow Daoist Chen Daoxuan will be the commander!”

“Boom!”

The first few were still acceptable, but the commander of the western defense region instantly caused an uproar.

Some cultivators immediately stood up to object.

“Old Ancestor Zhou, we have no objections to your arrangements for the first four commanders, but the commander of the western defense region is still up for discussion!”

“That’s right, Patriarch Zhou. Although Fellow Daoist Chen is a sword cultivator, he’s still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Why don’t you send a Zifu Disciple from the Zhou Clan to be the commander of the western region?”

“Old Ancestor Zhou, Fellow Daoist Chen, I, Lei Zhen, have a straightforward personality. Please don’t take offense. I feel that this is just nonsense.”

“That’s right!”

“It’s better to choose Senior Zifu Disciple of the Zhou Clan to be the commander of the western defense region!”

Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but frown when he heard the angry voices of the Guang ‘an Prefecture cultivators.

He did not know why he had become the commander of the western defense zone.

Even though the western defense zone was in the rear and basically would not encounter any war, it would be difficult to convince the masses to let a Foundation Establishment Cultivator hold the post of commander.

Fortunately, Chen Daoxuan was a sword cultivator and his combat strength far exceeded that of cultivators of the same level. Otherwise, there might even be Foundation Establishment cultivators standing up to ask him for advice.

As long as he defeated Chen Daoxuan, even Old Ancestor Zhou wouldn’t be able to force him to be the commander of the western defense region.

Zhou Minghao felt a headache coming on when he saw how much everyone opposed Chen Daoxuan’s appointment as the commander of the western defense zone.

Zhou Minghao naturally had his reasons for letting Chen Daoxuan be the commander of the western defense zone..
