I really became a king.

Chapter 568 I’m coming!

As soon as the order for the competition for the vanguard officer was announced, the originally quiet training ground became noisy again.

Many people were talking to each other with a hint of excitement on their faces. They obviously had ideas about the position of vanguard officer and were quite confident in their own abilities.

In this army of 100,000, the vanguard officer leads 10,000 men. This is already a high position and it is a shortcut to promotion. Otherwise, it is unknown how long it will take to fight on the battlefield to accumulate enough military merits.

However, only a very small number of people were interested in this. The vast majority of people looked indifferent, with their eyes even a little vague, and it was obvious that they were thinking of something.

Jiang Yi was not surprised by this. After all, anyone who was not a fool would understand that this expedition had basically no chance of success, and if they wanted to survive, they had to make plans early.

"If we really drag them to the battlefield like this, I don't know how many people will be left when we reach the western frontier. There will definitely be a lot of deserters..."

Jiang Yi was not too sad about the competition for the vanguard officer. Instead, he was thinking about how to survive this expedition.

It was only then that he realized that he didn't even have a weapon...

His eyes couldn't help but look at the princesses on the podium. Each of them had only a long sword hanging on their waists, while Mistress Jiang had a long spear.

It was unknown what material the spear was made of. It looked very light, but the tip of the spear was flashing a cold light.

Several of King Will's palace's retainers, such as the short-bearded old general, had a variety of weapons, including broadswords, battle axes, and painted halberds.

Everyone's weapon is suitable for charging on the battlefield, except for the long swords on the waists of the four Princesses of Will that look a little out of place.

Recalling that in the ancient times of the previous life, the weapons of generals were usually kept by their personal soldiers, and they would only carry them with them when they really went to the battlefield, Jiang Yi guessed that the princesses should be the same, but he didn't know how good they were.

As for the parade ground... Jiang Yi took a look around and nodded secretly. Most of them agreed with the standard weapons being equipped. In this respect, it did have a bit of the meaning of a regular army.

What really aroused his interest was the martial arts of this world, which, as he guessed, did not go beyond the scope of the mundane world.

There is simply no comparison with the martial arts of the wild continent.

Hundreds of people stood up to compete for the position of vanguard officer, and were divided into more than ten groups. The leader of each group was then divided into groups to compete for the position of vanguard officer.

Although it was not as good as the martial arts of the Wild Continent, Jiang Yi watched it with great interest.

There were only three people who really attracted his attention. One was a giant man who was more than two meters tall, with lumps of flesh all over his body, arms as thick as his thighs, and his weapon was an iron rod.

After the entire group competed, there was no one who could match his opponent. No one could withstand the power of his stick. It was truly a case of strength defeating skill.

The second person was a thin man. He wasn’t ugly, but he looked a little timid. However, his physical skills were amazing.

He was like a loach throughout the whole competition. No one could get close to him. Moreover, he had amazing endurance and simply drained his opponent's strength and won easily with a pair of daggers.

The last person used a large knife, and his knife skills were sharp. If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be "fast!"

It was really as fast as lightning, which just proved the saying "The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed"!
As for the others, although they all had decent martial arts skills, there was nothing special about them.

In addition to Jiang Yi, the mistress of the Jiang family and several old generals of Prince Will's Palace were also watching very seriously.

As for the four princesses, although they sat upright, they were just pretending, especially the other three concubines, who all looked impatient. After a round of screening, only ten people were left, including the three that Jiang Yi favored.

According to the process, the next ten people will compete for the Vanguard Officer. When Jiang Yi was wondering which of the three would win, a voice suddenly came:
"I've heard for a long time that Sister Jiang is very skilled in martial arts. Now that she is the chief commander of the army, why not show off your skills and compete with them so that these ten soldiers will be convinced."

The person who spoke was one of Prince Will's concubines. She looked very pretty, but her words were obviously meant to make things difficult for him.

Hearing her words, the ten contestants who were waiting for the final competition had different expressions.

Some people hesitated and retreated, including the three people Jiang Yi favored. Some people were eager to try, as if they were expecting something. Others looked a little confused, and their reactions were obviously slow, and they hadn't understood what this meant.

"What Concubine Dong said is very true. Chief Steward Jiang should show his skills, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the crowd. But even if he fails in the end, it doesn't matter..." The short-bearded old general followed up, as if he was afraid that Madam Jiang would refuse, so he turned his head and asked towards the training ground:

"Do you want to see the demeanor of our marching general?"

"miss you!"

"Show me your skills, Chief Steward..."

The entire parade ground was filled with boos and whistles, without the slightest sign of respect.

Jiang Yi frowned inwardly. Everyone understood that the fact that Madam Jiang took up the position of Chief of the Army had nothing to do with her martial arts. The reason why she was able to take the position was more because of her status and experience in leading troops.

Besides, with four princesses around, her position as the chief military commander was more of a symbolic one and she had no real power at all.

But why did the side princess and the short-bearded veteran join in the fun? Was it just because they were unbalanced? I'm afraid it's not that simple!
What are these two people planning?
No matter what, Madam Jiang is also Prince Will's woman. Fighting with a group of soldiers? In the extremely strict hierarchy of the Tunyun Dynasty, this is already a great disrespect.

Jiang Yi looked at Princess Will, who raised her eyebrows slightly, seeming a little unhappy, but for some reason did not say anything to stop him.

For a moment, accompanied by the whistles and other noises in the parade grounds, everyone's eyes were focused on Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang's face showed no expression, but her fingers tightly grasping the spear revealed her inner unrest.

This is not just a provocation, it's also insulting.

Because everyone, including herself, understood that it might be okay for others, but for the three people including the Iron Tower Giant, no matter how outstanding the martial arts of the Jiang family mistress was, she was no match for them.

Seeing that Princess Will did not speak to stop her, Madam Jiang was in a dilemma. At this moment, a voice sounded behind her:
"No need for my mistress, I'll do it!" It was Jiang Yi.

Madam Jiang looked back at him, as if asking for confirmation.

After all, if she were to go on stage, even if she lost in the end, she wouldn't have to worry about her life, after all, her status was there. But if it was Jiang Yi, I'm afraid his life would be in danger.

Jiang Yi grinned, said nothing, and took a few steps forward, passing Madam Jiang.

Several princesses, including the short-bearded veteran, seemed not to have expected this scene, but in the end they didn't say anything.

Jiang Yi is a servant of the Jiang family. He will also go with the army this time, and he will be Jiang's personal bodyguard. It is reasonable for him to go down to fight on behalf of his mistress.

During this period of time, I have been helping my children with their homework at night. I am completely crazy and feel exhausted. It is really too difficult... The updates will be stable as soon as possible.
