Chapter 893- Promotion to Commander in Chief
In this world, everyone will comment on anything that we do and say. In this world there were too many people who like to order others around but so what, if one's heart was firm one wouldn't be affected due to the doubts of others. A lion wouldn't get angry after being provoked by sheep. That was why I wasn't angry at all, anyways Flaming Cloud City, Waterfront City had became spoils of war for China Region under my efforts. That was the final outcome. How I achieved that didn't matter anymore. Moreover, my actions were proper and logical so no one could fault me for that.
I landed in the familiar Tian Ling City and found Li Meng Yao, handing over the Saint Hall Cavalry Class Change Certificate to her. Then I arranged four people to accompany her to do her class change. At the same time, I ordered Li Mu, Wang Jian etc to lead [Zhan Long] men to Fan Shu City to assist. As for Moon City they had retreated three hours ago and we didn't know what their next step was. Moon City attacked Bridge of Fate at War God River for a full four days and nights and didn't manage to take it down, they probably retreated in defeat.
……
"General Li!"
A messenger soldier galloped over swiftly, "Please head to the palace to discuss!"
"En..."
I frowned. Waterfront City was already taken down but we were probably going to discuss another matter. Duke Luo Xun entered Tian Ling City, the Rongdi Army under him was at least a hundred thousand strong and was really decisive. Moreover he was the Marshal for the Waterfront City battle, the merits from taking down Waterfront City had made him a famous general in Tian Ling City. Who knew what Owen was going to reward him. Actually as a Duke and Marshal, Luo Xun was already only below Owen. I really wasn't able to think what else he wanted.
I summoned my God Dragon Horse, galloping all the way into the palace. I jumped off and strolled into the main hall. Within the palace hall, generals and civil servants stood in two separate rows. Even Han Yuan, Xiao Lie etc the four of them were there which shocked me. However I wasn't surprised, they were all Majors and were Majors who had great merit so they did have the right to stand here.
Apart from that, Drunken Spear, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Fang Ge Que etc were all here. It seemed like a fairly important gathering.
"Royal Army General arrives!" The guy at the gate shouted.
I stepped up, however I noticed that there wasn't Pearl anymore so I didn't know where to stand. Instantly I was a little crestfallen. Baili Ning shouted, "General Li come over to me!"
Baili Ning was a Commander in chief in the empire and I was just a Country Protector General, we were two grades different. However there was no need to care so much, I stood next to him. Opposite me was Luo Xun and Les, on the left was Louis, Qin Ye. Further left was a young general which was Lochlan. He smiled, "General Li you still need to teach me sword skills, don't forget about it..."
I nodded, "Okay."
Duke Luo Xun looked towards us and told us to be silent. At this point the Emperor Owen on the throne stood up holding his blade, his face filled with arrogance as he smiled, "Generals you have all fought valiantly for the empire, taking down Flaming Cloud City, Fire Elephant City and Waterfront City. Even the ancestors of our empire will feel proud of our achievements today. Today we will reward you all based on merit, just say what you all want. The empire will create a new era and you all are the founding fathers of this new era!"
Luo Xun cupped his fists, "Your Majesty, we live and die only for the empire!"
Owen laughed out loud and said, "Uncle, you led your troops over to assist the empire's troops from so far away, you are truly a lifesaver. I remember your kindness and help! Men, give Duke Luo Xun the title of Duke Ding Tian, passing down the generations and also give him the Duke Ding Tian Power Staff.
