Leng Yuan went to the Holy City to avenge Lu Changqing and Mo Gu. He was not a family, country and the world from the beginning, but this battle left an extremely far-reaching impact on the Red Blood Empire.

When Leng Yuan rode Niedhog down from the sky, the six-character dragon breath swept across the holy city, and all the senior generals of the Cross Church except Hoan Lisen were burned to ashes.

As the springboard for the Bishop to connect Chang'an's forward base, the Holy City suffered a devastating blow. In addition, a large number of senior generals were killed and the entire army's command system was instantly paralyzed. Huoan Risen had to re-appoint the person in charge one by one, which gave the Red Blood Empire at least one month's chance to breathe.

Moreover, according to the information obtained from the secret channels, Ho Anlison was severely injured in the battle with Leng Yuan, and his ability seemed a little unstable. He evacuated directly from the Holy City and returned to the Bishop for maintenance, which means that the empire would not have to face a top-level powerhouse like Ho Anlison in a short period of time.

But these good news does not mean that the crisis has been lifted. First of all, the two important places of Chang'an and Wangdu are still remaining in the hands of the Cross Church, and their main forces are not damaged. Tens of millions of troops are still rampant in the territory, eroding the territory of the Red Blood Empire at all times.

Once the rear of the Cross Church is rectified, Ho Anlison will surely lead a large army to attack again!

It is not difficult to foresee that even the defeated general Luo You and the eagle general Leng Yuan could not stop Huo Anlison. With the current declining empire, it is unlikely that there will be a general in one alliance.

Of course, it is better to struggle in a desperate situation than to sit and wait for death.

The primary task of the Red Blood Empire is to restore normal wartime command. Many troops that had retreated before were killed by the command layer. Now the soldiers are like headless flies, and they don’t know whose order they should listen to. A new commander must be taken to assist the army in restoring wartime order.

To appoint a commander, there must be a higher-level leader. As before, everyone can discuss equal rights for a while, but it will definitely not work in the long run. After all, everyone has different ideas. If you think it is right, I think it is wrong, and they refuse to give in to each other, and the decision cannot be implemented. There must be a final decision.

After Leng Yuan entered the hibernation warehouse, all the first leaders died, and the remaining people basically had no authority, no qualifications, and no qualifications. As for ability, they only need to be tempered by real swords and guns.

As for the position of this supreme leader, every general wants to be, but he doesn't want to be.

I think it is naturally because of my status. Once I take charge, I will be the highest person in charge of the Red Blood Empire, and the power I once dreamed of is in my hands.

The reason why I don’t want to be a man is very simple. Now that the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, once I become the supreme leader, I have to shoulder the responsibility of the entire country.

If it turns the tide, it will be remembered in history. Once it fails, it will be a devil for thousands of years.

In the conference room, every general was watching each other, no one was the first to speak, and was waiting for the first person to speak.

I was silent for fifteen minutes, not to mention a self-recommendator, even the person who spoke was not showing up.

Seeing this, Cao Zhongxian stood up. As the chief of the Internal Affairs Office, his status is insignificant, but he is the oldest and oldest among all. He said in a deep voice: "Vote."

Dong Xiaotu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Even if you vote, you have to have a candidate first, right?"

Cao Zhongxian's next words shocked the generals around him: "Everyone here is a candidate."

"Everyone?"

"Everyone."

The generals understood what Cao Zhongxian meant. At this critical moment, everyone was afraid and dared not stand up. This was normal. Since that was the case, then nominate all the generals present. If their companions trust you and insisted that you are the one who can save the country, then you must stand up under pressure.

Even if it fails, it doesn’t matter. This is everyone’s choice and has nothing to do with you personally.

This move is equivalent to everyone sharing the pressure, greatly reducing the burden in the hearts of the generals, and their faces have also eased a little.

At this time, a general joked: "I want to tell you that this position is the most suitable. You have assisted so many Grand Marshals, the oldest, and have seen all kinds of storms. You know more than anyone else what to do."

Many generals began to agree. It was not that they wanted to escape this position, but that they believed from the bottom of their heart that Cao Zhongxian was competent. After all, Cao Zhongxian was the only person who had experienced the disaster of the first year of the collapse and witnessed the rise and decline of the entire empire, even if he was not a general.

Cao Zhongxian laughed and said seriously: "If I really chose me, I would not refuse, but it might not be enough to just let everyone here vote."

The general asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"

Cao Zhongxian's words were so thunderous that they provoked the heartstrings of every general: "We want every soldier to vote!"

...

In the afternoon of the same day, the temporary command center of the Red Blood Empire conveyed election instructions to the entire army in the territory. From top to bottom, from senior generals to grassroots soldiers, each soldier enjoys equal voting rights. They will choose a general whom they trust among the 8 candidates and entrust the fate of the empire to this person.

This is unimaginable for the soldiers of the Red Blood Empire. In the past, whether it was the appointment of senior generals or the election of the Supreme Leader, they were all arrogant. In the noble Empire Hall, the grassroots soldiers below had no say and could only obey.

But at this time, when the responsibility was distributed to everyone, the soldiers finally realized that the protective umbrella that once sheltered them from the wind and rain was gone, and all the first leaders had withered. They were the last hope of the empire and decided on the future with the votes in their hands!

Among the eight candidates this time, one is Cao Zhongxian, and the other seven are all lieutenant generals elected from within. After the election, a new leader will be born among these eight people to lead the Jedi in the Red Blood Empire to fight back, or turn into dust with the empire.

Originally, a general proposed to simply expand the right of suffrage to every imperial citizen in the territory, so that everyone could vote and elect a leader who was most popular among citizens.

But the proposal was later rejected.

The reason is very simple. For the civilians, they have too few channels to obtain information and they don’t know which general is excellent. In the end, a bunch of people voted randomly or were fanned and canvassed.

But the soldiers are different. These people devote their lives to the military. They have experienced wars and wind and sand. They are very clear about which generals are truly practical and which generals are golden and jade, and their votes are valuable and meaningful.
