Chapter 683: The sparse hair on Marshal Xu

There are indeed many ice-type fierce beasts in the northern ice plains.

But they are not so numerous as to be exaggerated.

Being able to improve this much is all thanks to the Storm Eagle.

Without its day and night searching, Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun would never have been able to improve this much.

However, Su Yang still had to leave.

Having spent over a month on the ice plains, Su Yang killed quite a few Ice Banshees.

It stands to reason that the pressure on the Northern Military Region this year will certainly not be great.

Besides, Su Yang also planned to leave first.

Continuing any longer would likely not result in much more improvement.

Rather than killing ice-type fierce beasts on the ice plains that pose little threat, it would be better to hunt powerful fierce beasts near the cities of the Huaxia Federation.

The Federation surely has data on these powerful fierce beasts as well.

Before leaving, Su Yang told Sovereign Jiazi that if the General Headquarters sent a new Lieutenant General to take over his position, Sovereign Jiazi could come north to rendezvous with Su Yang.

But a few days ago, Su Yang returned to Northern Ice City, and the person replacing Sovereign Jiazi had not yet arrived.

Su Yang estimated that the General Headquarters had delayed it slightly.

The appointment of a general for the Northern Military Region is no small matter.

It seems normal for the appointment of a new Northern Military Region general to be delayed for a period of time.

Just after returning to Northern Ice City, Sovereign Jiazi told Su Yang that she had received an emergency order from the Federal General Headquarters.

The Federation ordered all regional military commands to guide each city in inspecting and reinforcing their shelters, ensuring that the shelters in every city reached the highest earthquake-resistance standards.

Half a year later, the General Headquarters will dispatch experts to be responsible for the inspection work.

At that time, if any city's shelter fails to meet the standards, the city lord will very likely be sent to a military tribunal!

Additionally, the Federation ordered all major cities to store an extra year's worth of food.

The quantity of stored food will also be included in the assessment.

Su Yang laughed: "The Federation's actions are quite fast!"

Sovereign Jiazi nodded: "They are indeed taking it very seriously. Since it could lead to a military tribunal, I imagine no city lord would dare to be negligent!"

"How is the matter Bureau Chief Si is responsible for going?"

"I asked him; it is currently underway. Within half a month, he will certainly be able to produce a result that satisfies General Su!"

"Tell him to speed up the progress!"

Once the general of the Northern Military Region is replaced, it will be difficult for Su Yang to intervene in the affairs of the Northern Military Region.

Si Liu Derong must complete the task before Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun officially resign.

"Yes!"

Su Yang accompanied Liu Liu Mengyun to rest in Northern Ice City for a day, then returned to Shengjing City alone.

He would take the opportunity to check on the progress of the Federation's top brass.

From Marshal Xu, he learned that the new city lord for the Northern Military Region had already been selected and would set off for Northern Ice City in three days.

General Lian General Lian Feihong, holding the rank of Lieutenant General with peak King-tier strength; Su Yang had met him before, but his impression was not particularly deep.

Of course, Su Yang not having a deep impression of someone does not mean that person is incompetent.

General Lian General Lian Feihong also possesses an ice-type main battle pet, suitable for fighting in the cold northern climate, and he himself is a veteran of many battles, having personally killed over five Emperor-tier fierce beasts.

Regarding this, Su Yang had no objections.

He had no intention of having his own people hold any important positions.

Seeing that Su Yang did not object, Marshal Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yang's influence regarding the choice of general for the Northern Military Region is actually quite significant.

After all, he is the current incumbent!

Moreover, the other two beast tamers surrounding him, together with him, have already formed a force so formidable that even the Federation takes note!

Su Yang, Liu Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi...

Marshal Xu asked: "General Su, I heard that Sovereign Jiazi has become an Emperor-tier beast tamer?"

"Correct!"

"Is she interested in holding a general position?"

"You don't mind her background?"

"As long as she serves the Federation sincerely, our Federation will naturally accept her!"

"She doesn't seem to have any military merits, does she?"

"How could she not?" Marshal Xu said, "Didn't she assist you in wiping out the Emperor-tier Human-Faced Spider legion? That merit is already enough to be promoted to general!"

Su Yang smiled; he always felt that Marshal Xu was trying to poach his people.

"I have no objections; it mainly depends on her wishes!"

"You agree?"

"I didn't say I agreed... of course, I didn't say I disagreed either!" Su Yang laughed, "It mainly depends on her preferences. After all, she is also an Emperor-tier beast tamer, an existence on the same level as me, so I cannot force her."

"Uh..."

Marshal Xu always felt that these words sounded very familiar...

Back when he wanted to recruit Liu Liu Mengyun, Su Yang seemed to have said the same thing!

Marshal Xu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He always felt that the recruitment plan might fail again...

"By the way, Marshal Xu, can you let me talk to General Lian General Lian Feihong?" Su Yang said, "I implemented a policy in the Northern Military Region and want him to help me continue it."

Su Yang was also worried that Si Liu Derong might be slow and fail to complete the task within the stipulated time, so this was just preparing a backup plan.

After all, the rewards given by the system are quite enticing.

"Oh! What policy? Tell me about it!"

Hearing that Su Yang was implementing a policy in the Northern Military Region, Marshal Xu suddenly became curious.

Su Yang's reputation as a hands-off manager is known to everyone in the upper echelons.

Suddenly hearing that Su Yang wanted to implement a policy, he wanted to hear about it.

Su Yang gave a brief explanation, and after listening, Marshal Xu nodded as well.

"I feel it's quite good!"

Su Yang's policy of cracking down on local criminal forces is actually nothing new.

It's just that the Federal Military has not had the time to deal with this for the past hundred years.

"I will have General Lian General Lian Feihong called over for you!"

"Then thank you, Marshal Xu!"

Since Marshal Xu is going to call the person himself, this matter will surely succeed.

No matter whose person this General Lian General Lian Feihong is, he must give face to both Su Yang and Marshal Xu!

After sending people from the secretariat to notify General Lian General Lian Feihong, Marshal Xu continued: "General Su, recently the Eastern, Southeastern, and Southern coastal regions have almost simultaneously issued warnings to our General Headquarters."

"Is it sea beasts?"

"Correct!" Marshal Xu nodded, "In the last month, the number of sea beasts coming ashore has been increasing. The three major military regions of the East, Southeast, and South all believe that a sea beast tide may appear within three months."

"Is the information reliable?"

"How could it not be reliable?" Marshal Xu said with worry, "These three military regions all have specialized sea beast research departments. Combining the experience from before the previous three sea beast tides, they believe that a sea beast tide is a high-probability event."

"Fortunately, I killed a large batch of Ice Banshees in the north, so they shouldn't have a chance to cause trouble for the time being."

Marshal Xu frowned and scratched his graying hair, as if pondering some problem.

Su Yang noticed that he had actually pulled several hairs from the top of his head.

Su Yang narrowed his eyes; only then did he notice that Marshal Xu's hair seemed to have thinned quite a bit... it was truly terrifying!

Marshal Xu said from the bottom of his heart: "To be honest, if it weren't for you, I don't know what our Federation would have become!"

"I believe that if it weren't for me, there would certainly be others to step up!"

Su Yang would not fall for Marshal Xu's trap.

He always felt that Marshal Xu just wanted to dump the hot potato of "Marshal" onto him!

What is so good about being a Marshal?

The responsibility is too great, the pressure is deadly; he is still young and doesn't want to go bald. He doesn't even have children yet, and he certainly doesn't want to age before his time!
