Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 831: Chapter 832: Three Armies Grand Commander! (3rd Update)

Ling Feng nodded. The curriculum at the Heavenly Position Academy included some explanations of military strategy, so he wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with the term.

However, this guy had skipped classes for many years, so his understanding of these topics was merely superficial.

As Lee Bufan explained, everyone finally understood.

Level 4 Alert: The enemy appears with King-level experts, numbering over ten thousand.

Level 5 Alert: The enemy appears with Peak King-level experts, numbering over fifty thousand!

Up to Level 8 Alert, the opponent appears with Emperor-level experts. At this time, the entire army is on alert, and the intensity increases by at least ten times compared to the current alert level!

And at Level 9 Alert, the opponent appears with more than ten Emperors, or mobilizes over thirty million troops. This category truly belongs to the scale of a national war, once started, it can hardly end in ten, twenty, or even several decades.

The final result is either successfully defending or the nation being devastated, but in any case, the entire Empire will suffer significant losses in Primordial Qi.

”As far as I know, Level 4 Alert has already been considered a relatively high alert level in the past ten years,” Lee Bufan said slowly.

”That being the case, the Northern Demon Clan is no longer simply harassing us but is attacking with organization and purpose. But what exactly is their goal?”

Ling Feng furrowed his brows, mulling over this puzzle.

Vaguely, a thought flashed in Ling Feng’s mind. That Jiang Biyi being a person of the Holy Land, and with her and Yee Xingnan hurrying to Luohai City with such seriousness, was their mission somehow related to this invasion by the Northern Demon Clan?

Shaking it off, Ling Feng felt that this idea was rather far-fetched. With Jiang Biyi’s capabilities, though her status was extraordinary, it wouldn’t be enough to provoke such a giant as the Northern Demon Clan, would it?

In any case, his primary objective of this trip was to enter the Ancient Tower Forest; other matters were not his concern.

An hour passed...

Two hours passed...

Fortunately, Ling Feng and his companions were not impatient. If it had been people like Ye Nanfeng, they would probably have started complaining by now.

However, Ling Feng and the others merely sat cross-legged, silently cultivating. Preparing to face the powerful Royal Sword Team, they could not afford to waste any available cultivation time.

When dusk fell, only then did Fang Wentong return, accompanied by a middle-aged man in elegant robes and carrying a feather fan.

This man, holding a feather fan and sporting a goatee, respectfully bowed to Ling Feng, ”I am Jia Wenhe, a strategist in the military, paying respects to General Wei Yuan. The Grand Commander has already prepared wine and dishes in the Commander Tent to welcome the general and young talents.”

”Then I’ll trouble you, Military Counsellor Jia.”

Ling Feng nodded, exchanged glances with Lee Bufan and the others, and then followed Jia Wenhe and Fang Wentong to the Commander Tent to meet the ’legendary’ Three Armies Grand Commander!

...

Inside the Commander Tent at the Sky-reaching Fortress.

”Grand Commander, with the Northern Demon Clan repeatedly attacking, why would you take precious time to entertain a young punk? Just let me dismiss him for you; why bother him divert your attention?”

A burly middle-aged man furrowed his brows and said brashly.

This man’s name was Wu Kui, a King-level expert with a cultivation in the Fifth Realm of the Divine Sea, boasting considerable strength and numerous military achievements.

”Wu Kui, the Grand Commander has his considerations. This guy named Ling Feng, last time assisted Gongming in exterminating the Blood God Sect rebels, resolving the Blood Spirit Corpse disaster in less than half a month. This kid has his remarkable qualities.”

Another scholarly-looking man stroked his long beard and smiled lightly.

”Hmph, just a young punk who won the Emperor’s favor and easily got rewarded as General. In my view, he’s probably just a sycophant. How capable can he be to have contributed so little during the extermination of the Blood God Sect? And yet the Grand Commander gifted him with three hundred military honor points. Sigh...”

Wu Kui showed a disgruntled face, seemingly dissatisfied.

These soldiers on the border risked their lives, earning military fortunes wasn’t easy — even Wu Kui himself had accumulated only over ninety points, still having not entered the Ancient Tower Forest to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Dao.

”Yes, Grand Commander, this time, you might be overestimating that kid.”

Soon, many in the Commander Tent expressed approval of Wu Kui’s view. Which of them here isn’t battle-hardened, with innate pride, not easily acknowledging anyone, let alone a ’kid’ who has never been to war.

Naming him General without seeing battle was already hard to accept, let alone possessing three hundred military honor points, inciting envy and jealousy.

There’s a saying: Jealousy distorts people!

”I strongly suggest that the Grand Commander retract those three hundred honor points. Giving him one or two Treasures would suffice. If he were to battle on the front lines, this General Wei Yuan would likely run back to his mother’s arms to drink milk!”

Wu Kui continued.

”Hahaha!”

The generals in the large tent laughed heartily. Wu Kui’s words, though crude, were not without merit.

A kid who has never been on the battlefield acclaimed as General Wei Yuan would probably wet himself before even drawing his sword.

”Are you questioning this Grand Commander’s decision?”

From the marshal’s seat, a white-haired elder furrowed his brows, looking at the generals with a cold voice.

This white-haired elder was the Three Armies Grand Commander, Han Li.

Clad in a black battle armor and wearing a gold-plated Heavenly King Helmet, his authoritative demeanor was imposing, commanding respect without needing anger.

”Gossiping behind others’ backs, even about a youth, don’t you generals, commanders, feel shame?”

Han Li coldly snorted, silencing everyone instantly.

”What is a soldier’s duty?”

Han Li slowly opened his hazy eyes, their profound gaze possessing a captivating suppression.

His eyes, sharp as knives, scanned every officer in the tent, speaking softly, ”As soldiers of the Empire, our foremost duty is to obey! The Emperor personally designated him as General. Who dares defy?”

”We dare not!” The officers responded, humbled and subdued.

”This Grand Commander has personally awarded three hundred points of honor. Who dares defy?”

”We dare not!”

The most vocal of the dissenters, Wu Kui, clenched his fist, but under the Grand Commander’s authority, dared not utter a sound.

”If you dare not defy, then what’s with all these complaints!”

Han Li glared at Wu Kui, a cold voice resonating, ”I hope not to hear similar comments again, understood?”

”Yes, but...” Wu Kui drew a deep breath, unwillingly holding back words he wished to utter.

”Enough.”

Han Li slightly raised his hand, slowly standing from the seat, squinting as he gazed beyond the tent, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, ”Whether this kid is truly remarkable, this Grand Commander will see for himself.”
