Chapter 254: Southwest Guardian
late at night
The plane roared past the sea of clouds. The smart watch on Jiang Hou's hand vibrated slightly, and he received internal information from Tianfa.
Jiang Hou, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, clicked on the message, and saw a row of text appear.
This is a new appointment.
"We now appoint Jiang Hou, the demon-suppressing warrior, as the Southwest Garrison Commander with the rank of Lieutenant General. He will control all forces of the Sky Punishment Division in the six southwestern provinces to resist possible invasions by monsters from the ruins."
"What's going on?"
The sudden promotion of his status did not surprise Lord Jiang, but instead made him frown.
But before he could ask, his cell phone rang and the caller ID showed Jiang Ruochan.
As soon as Jiang Hou clicked to answer the call, Jiang Ruochan on the other side asked directly: "Jiang Hou, have you received the appointment document issued by the headquarters?"
"I have seen the president."
Jiang Hou nodded, and then asked: "President, has something happened?"
"Something has happened, and it's serious."
Jiang Ruochan said solemnly: "A ninth-rank supreme being of Tianfa discovered the epochal catastrophe, or traces thereof, on a floating continent deep in the abyss."
"It is said that the continent is so huge that it is beyond imagination. It is full of powerful and even terrifying forbidden creatures, including a giant beast that mutated after falling."
"At present, the three major transcendent forces have issued a call for the human race. This is an agreement signed by the three true gods more than 20 years ago."
"When a threat to the survival of humanity arises, all supernatural forces, from demigods to fourth-order full members, must provide unconditional support."
"This time, the targets of the recruitment are all those above level 6. The extraordinary people on the list will go to the nearest gathering point as soon as they receive the information."
...The great catastrophe of the era, the mutated corpse of the giant beast, Jiang Hou's expression froze, and at the same time he knew why he felt that the giant beast was in danger.
The forbidden creatures that resurrect from corpses hate their own kind the most.
"President, since all the strong people above level six are being summoned, why is my appointment like this?" Jiang Hou was a little puzzled.
Jiang Ruochan on the other side said calmly, "You were originally on the recruitment list, but I crossed you off. You are not suitable for this expedition."
"Although your combat power has now reached the eighth level and looks very strong, you are still essentially a seventh-level transcendent."
"This expedition involves a catastrophe of the epoch, and the danger is beyond imagination. Even I am not sure I can escape unscathed, let alone you."
"You still have a lot of potential to tap, and your strength is still in a period of rapid improvement."
"So I asked the old man to adjust your status to that of a garrison commander to buy some time. You can join the expedition after you break through to the eighth level."
"With the realm of the eighth level and the skills of a true god, even if you encounter a demigod-level forbidden creature, you will have a chance to escape."
"...Thank you very much, President, for this time." Jiang Hou said slowly.
He really couldn't go this time, otherwise once he transformed and released the aura of a 'giant beast of heaven and earth', he would most likely be targeted by the forbidden beast.
Adult behemoths of heaven and earth are terrifying beings that feed on gods. Creatures of this level are extremely powerful even if only their corpses are left.
"You're welcome. Since I'm the guide for you and Zong Zheng Nanmo, I will naturally fulfill some responsibilities."
Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo were "discovered" by Jiang Ruochan and brought into Tianfa, so within Tianfa they belong to Jiang Ruochan's "line".
"And don't think this task is easy."
"Although this time we are calling on all the extraordinary people above level 6, the real world also needs strong people to guard it, especially those large passages."
"This kind of guarding mission is fine most of the time, but when something happens, it's usually an invasion by a seventh-level demon god or evil god."
"If we encounter an enemy above level eight..." Jiang Ruochan paused, "Then you defenders will have to fight to the death."
Upon hearing this, Lord Jiang nodded slightly.
At this time, Jiang Ruochan habitually changed her tone: "Of course, these are the worst possibilities. Maybe this expedition is not that dangerous, and the Epochal Catastrophe is just a misunderstanding."
Could it be possible that the strongest person who had only condensed the four great heavenly ways and reached the limit of demigod made a mistake?
"By the way, as a garrison commander, your loan authority has been greatly increased, with a maximum limit of two million. Please think carefully about what you need."
"This opportunity to overdraw resources in advance is rare, don't waste it." After saying this, Jiang Ruochan, who was a little busy, hung up the phone.
"Two million." Jiang Hou's eyes lit up.
Loans, especially interest-free loans, are indeed a good thing, but he has not yet repaid the previous one million, so he can only borrow one million this time.
And according to the 'loan rules', 500,000 for upgrading resources and 500,000 for other extraordinary items.
"This is something that really needs some thought." Jiang Hou touched his chin.
…………
Due to the time difference, Jiang Hou's plane landed at Nanshan International Airport at only seven in the morning.
"Uncle and the others should be up by now." Jiang Hou glanced at the dim sky, took out his cell phone and called Qin Buyi.
The phone rang twice and then the other end picked up.
"Uncle, when are you planning to go back?" asked Lord Jiang.
Qin Buyi on the other side thought for a moment and said, "Siyu still has four days of vacation left. As for me... well, I won't go back with you for the time being. Your aunt will need another two months to complete the handover."
"I understand." A smile appeared on Jiang Hou's face.
"Uncle, the war in Abudan is almost over. I have been transferred back to be in charge of the Sky Punishment affairs in the southwest, including Yidu."
"I'm almost going back today. I'll ask Siyu if she wants to go with me later."
"The war is over." Qin Buyi was stunned and a little slow to react. After all, the war on Abudan's side had reached the border of Nanshan Kingdom a few days ago.
There are also mutant monsters spreading across half of the country of Abdan, and the mutant viruses they carry will cause them to mutate if they come into contact with them.
At this time, Jiang Hou suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, uncle, my military rank has been promoted again. Now I am Lieutenant General of Demon Suppression."
"What!"
Cough cough cough! ! There was a strong cough from the other side, and Qin Buyi was directly choked by this news.
"Buyi, what's wrong with you?" In the bathroom, Natalie, who was rinsing her mouth, stuck her head out and looked at Qin Buyi, who was coughing incessantly in the corridor on the second floor, in confusion.
Qin Buyi, with a flushed face, waved his hand: "No, nothing, I'm just a little surprised that Xiao Hou's military rank has been promoted again."
"Okay, fine."
"I understand. You can ask Xiaoyu." After saying that, Qin Buyi hung up the phone. He could no longer suppress the excitement on his face and burst into laughter.
"Lieutenant General, an 18-year-old Lieutenant General, awesome, hahahaha."
"Bu Yi, why are you crazy? What lieutenant general?" Natalie was a little confused.
Qin Buyi said excitedly: "Xiao Hou, his military rank has been promoted to Lieutenant General. It should be because of his great contribution in the battle of Abudan."
For ordinary people like Qin Buyi, they don’t have much idea about what a saint-level strongman is, but the identities of general and lieutenant general are a huge shock.
Even at the banquet more than a week ago, he was shocked once when he learned about the identity of Major General Jiang Hou.
