As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't help but look at the source of the sound.
When they saw the face of the person who spoke clearly, they couldn't help but look dumbfounded.
Because the person who spoke was none other than Yuan Hongtao.
At this moment, Yuan Hongtao was covered in blood and looked miserable.
On the chest, there was a sword wound that was deep enough to show the bone.
The cold current of "Sealing the Sky with One Sword" was still there, causing all of his strength to be frozen, and the aura of the Banbu Venerable also dissipated a lot.
"General Yuan?"
Zheng Zhi was a little surprised.
He obviously did not expect that Yuan Hongtao would be the first to speak up to support him.
"I am willing to admit defeat. I, Yuan Hongtao, am not a person who cannot afford to lose. Since I have lost, I must admit it."
Yuan Hongtao said.
"General Yuan doesn't have to be like this. I won't stay in the Blood Underworld Empire for a long time. This position will always belong to General Yuan."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly and said.
He could see that Yuan Hongtao was the kind of person who sat upright and what he said was not just for fun.
And Yuan Hongtao obviously also understood that "golden scales are not things in the pond." He saw what Zheng Zhi said and promised: "As long as Marshal Zheng is still in office for one day, I will follow your orders."
As soon as the silver moon turns, it has the strength to defeat the half-step dazzling sun realm.
What kind of monster is this?
And Zheng Zhi is only in his twenties.
With such potential, he would naturally not be willing to live in the Blood and Netherworld forever and be an empire marshal.
Yuan Hongtao, who thought clearly, suddenly felt at ease.
Instead of competing for a position that will be yours sooner or later, it is better to establish a good relationship with a genius like Zheng Zhi as soon as possible. Maybe the latter will skyrocket in the future and get some glory...
It has to be said that Yuan Hongtao can sit as the second-in-command in the army, and his structure and vision are not narrow.
"I've met Marshal Zheng!"
Seeing this scene, the high-ranking generals also handed over their hands.
At this moment, they no longer dare to regard themselves as their elders, let alone underestimate the young man in front of them.
Zheng Zhi used his strength to seize the leadership position and could not tolerate their dissatisfaction.
Besides, even Yuan Hongtao was the first to admit defeat, so what reason do they have for not being convinced?
"Meet the Marshal!"
Below, countless soldiers also saluted.
The shouts soared into the sky.
"My dear friend, congratulations on your promotion."
Yuan Tianhao stepped forward, smiled and congratulated: "The future of the empire will be left to you, and I can finally put down the burden on my shoulders and have a good rest."
Having said this, a look of deep exhaustion appeared on the old handsome man's old face.
He spent his whole life serving the imperial army and guarding the border. He sacrificed too much and lost too much.
Although he is blessed with all kinds of glory, the pressure he endures every day is unimaginable by ordinary people.
Now that he has shed all his courage, the old man feels more relaxed than ever before.
Apart from being relaxed, there is also some reluctance.
After all, it was the foundation he spent his entire life building.
Emotions are important in the military, and the friendship between comrades is profound.
He is about to leave his comrades who have been with him day and night and fought side by side. It is inevitable that the old commander will feel a sense of reluctance and loss in his heart.
Sima Yue obviously saw that his old friend was in a bad mood, but he didn't try to persuade him and just patted Yuan Tianhao's shoulder lightly.
The two brothers have worked together for many years, and there are many things that no longer need to be said.
After comforting him for a while, Sima Yue looked at Zheng Zhi again and congratulated: "My little friend, congratulations, you have reached the sky in one step!"
"Brother Yue, there's no need to be like this. It's just for everyone's sake."
Zheng Zhi shook his head and smiled, without any hint of arrogance.
He tilted his head and looked at the silent Blood Emperor.
At this moment, Yuan Yiyi also looked at Zheng Zhi.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air, but they had a tacit understanding without saying a word, and smiled at each other.
"My fellow soldiers, from today on, I will no longer serve as the marshal of the empire. My position will be succeeded by Zheng Xiaoyou."
The old commander walked slowly to the high platform, his eyes sweeping across the endless army below. Sadness, reluctance, and souvenirs, many complex emotions flashed across his old face one by one.
"Starting from tomorrow, the military industry will be my fan friend. I am deeply proud of myself for hundreds of years in the military. Over the years, I am very grateful to you for your help and loyalty. It is precisely because of you that I can fight without victory.
If you are not victorious, you can conquer everything."
"From now on, I will not return to the military to serve as a commander. If I were to come back, I would not come back, because it would be useless for me to come back. People who come after me will do better than me."
"I...will engage in some things that interest me, such as recruiting apprentices, starting a family, and going into business..."
Yuan Tianhao's voice echoed.
Every word and every word comes from the heart.
"Old handsome..."
When all the soldiers heard this, their eyes filled with tears and they were filled with reluctance.
The old handsome man has long been a spiritual pillar in their hearts.
Now that he is about to leave, everyone is very sad to leave him.
Apart from being reluctant to leave, I also feel distressed.
The old commander devoted his whole life to the empire.
Over the years, due to the busy military affairs, the old commander has not yet gotten married, and has no one to inherit his martial arts mantle.
After leaving office, it's time to enjoy your own life.
"Although it is somewhat irresponsible to step down at this time, I believe that talented people have emerged from generation to generation and have led the way for hundreds of years. I believe that those who will succeed me will do better than me."
Looking at the depressed soldiers, the old commander also had a trace of tears in his eyes, and forced a smile on his old face: "The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are still there. Don't cry, please, and move slowly."
Zheng Zhi listened and felt a little touched in his heart.
When he was in the Southern Wilderness Mo Kingdom, although he had a military career for a period of time, it was not long.
I don't feel deeply about the feeling of comrades-in-arms.
But he could also feel the emotion in the old coach's heart at this moment.
Reluctant and helpless, nostalgic and determined.
Incredibly complex!
After a moment of silence, Zheng Zhi bowed slightly towards where Yuan Tianhao was standing.
The voice of respect, driven by star power, resounded loudly.
"Congratulations, old man!"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked at Zheng Zhi.
The next moment, everyone reacted one after another.
From the top generals such as Yuan Hongtao to the captains of ten and ordinary soldiers, they all bowed down.
"Congratulations, old man!"
Seeing this scene, the old handsome man could no longer hold back the tears that he had held back, and they flashed from the corners of his eyes.
However, he did not speak, but turned around silently.
Disappeared in the attention of countless eyes...
The founding marshal of the Blood Hades Empire, and the first marshal since the founding of the country, just withdrew from the stage of history...
