Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1915: Chapter 177: Who Could Withstand Such a Trial?

…

Immortal Fortress No. 3.

This is an important stronghold defended by the Human race of the Immortal Dynasty in foreign territories, and also the command center for Defense Zone No. 3 of the Immortal Dynasty.

Two distinguished leaders at the Transcendent Void Realm have stationed here year-round, one of them being the commander-in-chief of Defense Zone No. 3.

Princess Su Yun, however, has been promoted to the deputy commander of this defense zone by virtue of her formidable strength and years of accumulated military achievements.

Because of a promise made to Immortal Emperor Muyun, Princess Su Yun did not personally go to the frontline this time, but instead has taken on the role of deputy commander, assisting the commander-in-chief with manpower deployment, strategic planning, and logistical supply tasks within the defense zone.

This work is exceedingly complex and demands precision; performing it thoroughly can be even more tiring than being the commander-in-chief. Every day, she receives intelligence and battle reports from various channels, organizes them properly before reporting to the commander-in-chief, then refines the strategies proposed by the commander-in-chief and allocates tasks accordingly.

Nevertheless, this is also a necessary step in her journey to become the Immortal Emperor.

Many intricacies of positions can only truly be understood by actually holding the position. Only by truly comprehending these intricacies can one avoid being deceived and be qualified to become the Immortal Emperor and oversee the overall situation.

The Immortal Emperor, as Lord of the Immortal Dynasty, has far more complex matters to handle than this minor deputy commander of Defense Zone No. 3.

Fortunately, Princess Su Yun is not fighting alone; she has an entire team of staff officers from Princess Mansion assisting her in various tasks, and this staff officer team will soon become her first group of key allies.

At this moment.

Inside the deputy commander office dedicated to Princess Su Yun within the fortress, Princess Su Yun is busy at work with her staff officer team.

“Your Highness, the latest batch of logistical supplies has arrived at the fortress, here is the list, which I have verified and organized, and it needs your stamp,” said Yuan Xiuyuan, a renowned young talent within the Yun family, as he handed over a thick list, “Regarding the distribution of this batch of supplies, I have also formulated a preliminary distribution plan based on the application requirements from each battle zone within our defense zone, which requires your review and stamp.”

Princess Su Yun, upon hearing this, put down her work and carefully studied Yuan Xiuyuan’s distribution plan before saying, “The Eastern Forward Fortress has too big an appetite, demanding over thirty percent of the logistical supplies in one go; we can give at most twenty-five percent.”

“Your Highness, the Eastern Forward Troops have recently been straining to fend off joint attacks from three Demonic King forces,” Yuan Xiuyuan explained, “Marshal Zhao has sent multiple messages to blame us, accusing the commander-in-chief of incompetence, accusing the Eldest Princess of being stingy, accusing us of not empathizing with the frontline soldiers! He even said that you have a grudge against him and are taking private revenge by shortchanging his supplies every time.”

“Logistical resources are limited; if he takes more, others get less,” Princess Su Yun said calmly, “The Eastern line is strained, but aren’t all lines and routes strained? Who isn’t scraping by, calculating every penny? Xiuyuan, we have to comprehensively consider the allocation of resources.”

“Besides, I know Marshal Zhao; twenty-five percent is enough. As for him scolding me, let him scold, it’s not as if he’ll lose a piece of meat.”

This Marshal Zhao truly enjoys kicking up a fuss, believing that the child who cries the most gets the milk; something minor he exaggerates into a major issue.

From her understanding of Marshal Zhao, if he is only writing to scold, the situation still isn’t too dire. If resources were truly insufficient, he would send someone personally to cry and complain in front of her.

“Yes, Your Highness, I will revise the plan,” Yuan Xiuyuan hurriedly took back the resource allocation plan, ready to make modifications.

“Wait.” Princess Su Yun called him back, instructing, “Write a letter to the family, asking them to sell some of the Princess Mansion’s less important assets and purchase more logistical supplies, and send them over together next time.”

“Your Highness!” Yuan Xiuyuan was anxious, “Those are property allocated by the Yun family to support you, belonging to your personal assets.”

“Most of my time is spent on the battlefield; what need do I have for that support?” Princess Su Yun waved dismissively, “Alright, go ahead.”

However, this time Yuan Xiuyuan, who always followed orders, did not leave.

“Anything else?” Princess Su Yun frowned.

“If you truly want to sell personal assets, I have no objections, nor can I have objections,” Yuan Xiuyuan said discontentedly, “But the Immortal Dynasty does not only have one princess; it can’t always be you digging into your own pocket to support the battlefield. The second princess has her own defense zone which is fair enough, but should the third and fourth princesses not also contribute to the Immortal Dynasty?”

“Their support is theirs; as the elder sister, how can I demand their assets? That would only invite ridicule,” Princess Su Yun firmly refused, “Don’t bring this up again.”

Yet mentioning the third and fourth princesses reminded her of another matter, and her eyes lit up as she said, “However, we can write to Wang Ningxi and ask for some money. I heard he is an Artifact Refining genius, who has earned quite a wealth from selling rights since childhood. Tell him that if he is willing to support the external battlefield, this princess will forgive him for undermining the Immortal Dynasty and can speak favorably for him before the Immortal Emperor to lift his ban from entering the Immortal Dynasty.”
