Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Time flew by, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye. Outside the formation, rows of warships came meandering. The various legion units stationed at Wuyue Pavilion one after another, and then launched an attack on the pavilions in Yunxuan City.

Tang Ning stood on the city wall, with giant cannons displayed beside him. There was a black magnetic cannon every hundred feet apart.

Wuyueting City had been reduced to ruins in the previous offensive and defensive battles. The column occupied this place, rearranged the formation, and built the city outline.

It's just a pile of stones, with neither runes or seals engraved on it, and it can't be blessed by an array, so it doesn't take much effort at all.

The defense of the west side of the city wall is the responsibility of the first and second regiments, and each of the regiment stewards takes turns on guard duty.

In the distance, a wind spirit ship was speeding by, with the Qingzhou Alliance Army number flying on the bow flag.

The Fengling Ship was stopped by two Xuanling Ships ten miles away from the city.

Tangning's figure flashed and she appeared on the deck of the Wind Spirit Ship. There were hundreds of men and women lying in random directions, all of whom were injured monks on the front line. There were many people with broken limbs. It was a tragic scene in the world.

His face was expressionless, and his heart didn't even have any fluctuations. Over the years, he had seen scenes like this so many times that he had become accustomed to it.

The stone door of the cabin swung open, and a tall woman strode out inside. She bowed to the commander, turned her hand over, and handed over the token: "I am Yunxi, and I have been ordered to send the casualties of our column to Wuyue Pavilion to rest and recuperate."

Tang Ning took the token, checked her identity, and returned it to her: "Fellow Daoist Yun, I wonder if your troops can successfully capture Fengying Pavilion?"

"Fengying Pavilion has been captured, and the headquarters is heading towards Huang Yueting."

"As long as everything goes well, I'm worried that the rebels will resist tenaciously and the war will be inextricable."

"The rebels don't have enough troops in Yunxuan City, and their willingness to resist is not very strong, so all the ministries are advancing relatively smoothly."

Tang Ning asked a few questions about the fighting situation on the front line, then left the warship and returned to the city wall.

The Wind Spirit Ship slowly sailed into the city. The wounded and wounded monks from all the columns on the front line of the legion were uniformly sent to Wuyue Pavilion, Huaxia Pavilion and Fengxiang Pavilion. The specific pavilion and city to be sent to was decided by the column. Generally, they were transported according to the distance. .

During this period, the Seventh Column was attacking Fengying Pavilion, and its troops were relatively close to Wuyue Pavilion, so all the wounded of the Seventh Column were sent to this city. Then the Wu Yueting garrison would send people to the city. It would take more than half a month to get from Wu Yueting to the city. The frontline team was fighting with the rebels. Every Wind Spirit ship and every monk had to send people to the city. If it is put to use, other combat personnel will not be separated from the battle front line to escort the wounded.

Furthermore, there were groups of wounded every now and then, so it was even more impossible to send so many people to escort the wounded to the city. By the time they came back, the battle might have been over.

Wuyue Pavilion, Huaxia Pavilion, and Fengxiang Pavilion are located at the rear of the entire army, so they are also responsible for transporting the wounded.

Until nightfall, around midnight, a ray of light came from inside the city wall, and the figure of Huang Hanjiang appeared. The city wall defense duty was one every ten days, and each regiment steward took turns to be on duty. Today was Tangning's duty. the last day of.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, I will take over the defense of the city wall." Huang Hanjiang bowed his head.

Tang Ning turned over his hand and handed him the token of the city guard. In case of emergency, with this token and the identity of the unit manager, he could temporarily dispatch the city defense team.

"Then I'll thank you Daoist Huang."

Huang Hanjiang took the token and said, "Have you heard about it, Fellow Daoist Tang? The monks from the Nether Sea Organization of our column have been gathering frequently to discuss matters recently."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Tangning was confused. Since the Netherworld Sea Organization joined the coalition, its members have always behaved themselves and their performance in the battle against the rebels has been remarkable.

He is well-known among the coalition forces for his strict discipline and bravery in combat. Compared with the disciples of Taixuan Sect and those from the cultivating family, the quality of his personnel is obviously higher.

Not only in the fifth column, but also in several other columns, the members of the Netherworld Sea Organization showed great unity.

They frequently gather together to discuss matters, so they must have a plan.

Do they think the salaries and benefits are too low and want to join forces to cause trouble and force the coalition to increase their salaries and benefits? Or do you think there are too many casualties and want to conserve your strength as much as possible in future battles?

"I also heard recently that three fellow Taoists, Jiang Yu, Xu Wenruo, and Yuan Xiangdie, were scolded."

"Ah?" Tangning became even more confused: "Why are they being scolded?"

"I don't know, it's just some gossip. Inspector Fang of the headquarters column is dissatisfied with our delay in supporting the column after we conquered Xuanyang Mountain. He has a lot of dissatisfaction with the headquarters." Huang Hanjiang looked around and lowered his voice unconsciously. : "Inspector Fang originally wanted to remove Daoyou Zeng from his position as captain, but he gave up because Senior Yan Zixian and several other stewards disagreed."

"No way! Who did I hear this news from?"

Tang Ning was a little in disbelief. No matter how strict Fang Xuan was, he would not be dismissed from the position of captain of the regiment. In any case, the second regiment had successfully completed the task assigned by the column to conquer Xuanyang Mountain.

"I met fellow Taoist Kuanghua a few days ago, and he revealed during a chat that you know that senior Kuang Jingxian, the column manager of our headquarters, is his uncle. How can his words be false? Nine times out of ten, he will not be wrong."

Tangning was speechless, and a very strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

He had never thought that such a thing would happen before. This was a bit beyond his inherent knowledge. He had been practicing in the Xuanmen sect since he was a child.

Although the Qianyi Sect is a small sect, the system it adopts is no different from the Xuanmen sects in the world. After the Qinghai War, when it was transferred to the Taixuan Sect, at most the internal and external situation became more complicated, and the Xuanmen system did not change at all.

He has lived under this system for hundreds of years and has long been familiar with it. Even now, he can be regarded as a fish in water and is living quite comfortably.

The Xuanmen system can be said to be very tolerant to its disciples, fully protecting the rights and interests of the lower-level disciples.

Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand why he had clearly won the battle and successfully completed the mission, but just because he was a little slow in rushing for reinforcements, he could be held accountable and even dismissed a captain.

This strong contrast made him very uncomfortable. It was like a wealthy young man who was well-dressed and well-fed, and suddenly became a long-term laborer in the street market.

The first emotions that welled up in his heart were disgust and disgust. When these emotions subsided and he calmed down, he felt that it was reasonable to do so. Only by strictly enforcing military discipline can the lazy troops become Have fighting ability.

His emotions instinctively rejected this approach, and his rationality told him that this approach should be implemented. He fell into a dilemma for a while. After a while, he sighed: "This is too harsh."

Huang Hanjiang continued: "Who says it's not true? When I first heard about this, I was a little unbelievable. I knew that the Nether Sea organization has strict discipline, but I didn't expect it to be so strict. Fortunately, Senior Yan and several stewards had the brains was sober and did not agree to his request.”

"If you act like him, you will be offended in the future. We fight with the rebels and go through life and death. If we win the battle, instead of being rewarded, we will be punished and dismissed from our posts. What is this?"

Tang Ning asked: "Is it because our headquarters was too slow to rush to the rescue that three fellow Taoists Jiang Yu, Xu Wenruo, and Yuan Xiangdie were scolded by Senior Fang Xuan? What does this have to do with them? The order to recuperate in place was issued by our headquarters. The decision was made jointly by the team. I remember that the three Taoist friends didn’t seem to express their stance at the time, so we can’t blame them!”

"Of course it does matter. They are all members of the Netherworld Sea organization, which represents the influence of the Netherworld Sea in the headquarters. Senior Fang Xuan thinks that they have adopted a default attitude because they did not argue with reason."

"This is a collective decision made by the alliance. Even if they object vocally, what's the use?"

"Collective responsibility means collective irresponsibility. This is what Senior Fang Xuan said."

Tang Ning smiled in her heart. This was a phrase often said by members of the Netherworld Sea Organization. It was used to attack Xuanmen's system of officials protecting each other and evading responsibility to show the superiority of the system.

The organizational structure of Nether Sea is actually very similar to that of Xuanmen.

Each department of Xuanmen is composed of chiefs, supervisors, deputy captains, and stewards.

There are no supervisors or deputy captains in Nether Sea. The management consists of the chief, two deputy chiefs and the steward.

Unlike Xuanmen, the chiefs of their ministries have unlimited rights and can even appoint and remove officers at the same level. In each branch, the chiefs at each level are the emperors who have absolute authority over their branch and have absolute say and authority. Control.

Therefore, the principal needs to be responsible for all affairs. No matter what goes wrong, the principal's responsibility is indispensable.

They have no collective decision-making. All decisions are made and held responsible by the principal. Even if it is a decision that everyone agrees with, if something goes wrong, the principal is responsible.

Vice versa, no matter how many people object to the decision made by the principal, it must be implemented as long as the principal insists.

The two chatted for a long time, and Tang Ning was about to leave.

A ray of light shot out from outside the city walls, and a man hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Senior, I've noticed a strange phenomenon ahead. I don't know what the cause is."

"A vision?" Huang Hanjiang frowned slightly: "What vision?"

"When my subordinates were ordered to inspect, the sky in one of the areas with a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly flickered from dark to bright, approaching strong winds, thunder and lightning, rain and snow. Within a quarter of an hour, the four seasons were constantly changing visible to the naked eye."

When Tang Ning heard this, her heart moved and she quickly asked, "Where is that place?"

"Less than three thousand miles from the city walls."

"I'm going to take a look." After Tangning said that, the light flew up, and soon she arrived at the place the man mentioned. From a distance, she could see the entire space shaking violently, as if she had been hit by a huge impact. It's like falling apart.

At that time, all the strange phenomena had disappeared. The space with a radius of hundreds of miles was boiling and surging like heated water, forming an uneven shape like a mountain. In the center, a huge black hole was torn apart in the space, and it was still... expansion.
