As soon as Jia Guozhong said this, many generals below frowned.
Guan Xiong'an, the general of the Eastern Conquest who was second only to Yue Pengfei in terms of real power, immediately said: "The empire should reward Chen Qingtian, but before that, we should also discuss how our Eastern Legion should reward and arrange for him."
Jia Guozhong still insisted: "For such a great contribution, the reward, military position, and title should all be decided by the central government of the empire. I stick to my opinion."
"You are so stubborn!" Guan Xiong'an said angrily: "Jia Guozhong, it is not your turn to take care of the Eastern Legion's affairs. I have tolerated you for a long time, you'd better not say anything!"
"What are you talking about!" Jia Guozhong said with a gloomy expression: "General Guan, I, Jia Guozhong, am the commander-in-chief of the Army personally appointed by the emperor. I am qualified to intervene in anything the Eastern Army does. If you dare to insult me like this, I will report it to the Central Committee! "
Then he looked at Yue Pengfei and said seriously: "General Yue, I hope you will respect the central government of the empire and follow the emperor's will!"
Yue Pengfei glanced at him lightly and reached out to stop Guan Xiong'an who wanted to continue to be angry.
Then he said calmly: "The Eastern Legion is the legion of the Great Xia Empire, but the emperor said that I have the power to do everything within the legion."
"The matter regarding Chen Qingtian can be arranged internally within the legion. As for titles and other rewards, they will be arranged by the central government. I don't think they will be stingy."
"You..." Jia Guozhong glanced deeply at Yue Pengfei, then lowered his head.
Chen Qingtian saw everything that happened in front of him, and he felt it clearly.
These generals don't seem to care that much about the attitude of the Central Committee of the Daxia Empire.
The commander-in-chief, Jia Guozhong, seemed to have no authority at all, and no one could speak for him at all.
After Yue Pengfei finished speaking, Shan Wuhui, the commander-in-chief of the Huwei Army, said: "Let me tell you, with Chen Qingtian's merits and strength, he can definitely arrange to be our deputy commander-in-chief of the Huwei Army, and lead the Huwei Army with me!"
"Why!" Yuan Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Dragon-Slaying Army, immediately retorted: "It's too unfair for you to be the deputy general of the Huwei Army. Our Dragon-Slaying Army is strong, and Chen Qingtian will be more useful now!"
Unexpectedly, another general commanding the army said: "That's not appropriate! I think it's best for me to kill the Xiong Army!"
"Are we, the Wolf Warriors, not good enough?"
"Hmph! We still have to come to attack the Eagle Army..."
Chen Qingtian watched all this silently, as if he was their trophy, and he wanted to take it away one by one.
After a long time, Yue Pengfei saw that they had calmed down and said, "I have thought about letting Chen Qingtian lead the army alone. What do you think?"
ah!
Suck~
As soon as these words came out, many strong men from the Eastern Legion exclaimed.
Chen Qingtian was also surprised. He didn't expect Yue Pengfei to think so highly of him. Leading an army alone sounded domineering.
"No!" Jia Guozhong was the first to jump out and object: "The Tenth Army of the Eastern Legion was appointed by the central government of the empire. How can we expand the army again? This is absolutely impossible!"
This time, General Guan Xiong'an did not continue to criticize Jia Guozhong, but hesitantly said: "General, Chen Qingtian has only joined our Eastern Army for half a year. Besides, he is so young and has too little qualifications. I'm afraid he won't be suitable!"
The other generals also fell silent. If Chen Qingtian were to be placed on an equal footing with them, they would not be able to accept it for a while.
Thinking about it, these people have at least been fighting for the empire for more than a hundred years, and have experienced countless lives and deaths before they reach their current position and have such a status in the Eastern Legion.
But they didn't quite understand the young man in front of them, who was only twenty years old. Although he was talented and powerful, it was unjustifiable for him to lead an army with one big achievement.
Seeing that no one spoke for a moment, Shan Wugui said in a deep voice: "I think the general's suggestion is a good one. I know what you think!"
"But I want to ask you, how many of you have done it before Chen Qingtian killed the celestial realm talent of the Howling Wolf Clan!"
"And he was able to escape under the scheme of a powerful person in the Heaven and Earth Realm and under the nose of the leader of the Golden Tiger Demon Clan. Who among you dares to say that he can escape in the hands of that ferocious tiger in the Heaven-reaching Realm?"
"And I also want to say that Chen Qingtian has not only made great achievements, but also slapped the entire demon clan in the face. You have all seen his own potential. It may not be long before you will only be suppressed when you face him!"
"In the final analysis, the problem is still in your heart. You can't let go of your figure for a while, and you are too obsessed with qualifications and face."
"Ahem!" Yuan Hongli, the commander-in-chief of the Dragon-Slaying Army, frowned and said slowly: "Old Dan, you can't say that. In the army, seniority is still important!"
"We all know Chen Qingtian's potential and achievements, but he is young after all and does not fully understand our Eastern Legion."
"If he were to lead an army all at once and be promoted too much, it would be unprecedented! This would easily harm him. I think this matter can be waited for!"
"yes……"
"General, I also think that Chen Qingtian's proposal to lead an army on his own can be postponed until he is fully integrated into our Eastern Army. We are still discussing!"
For a time, most of them were opposed. The remaining few people remained silent, and their meaning was obvious.
Yue Pengfei was not too surprised and said with a smile: "Chen Qingtian, what do you think?"
Chen Qingtian had already thought about it and said without hesitation: "General, the generals are right. My qualifications are too shallow. Even if I have made some contributions to the empire, I am not qualified to lead an army alone. I refuse!"
Yue Pengfei nodded and said again: "Okay, Chen Qingtian, if you have any suggestions, you can tell me."
Chen Qingtian said calmly: "General, let me tell you straight. I am willing to leave the Eastern Legion to kill the demon clan, but I am loose by nature and don't like to be restrained."
"If possible, I don't want any military position. From now on, I will directly take orders from you, the general. If there are missions and battles to kill monsters, just tell me. I will make arrangements for the rest of the time."
Um! These generals, I didn't expect Chen Qingtian to say this. They don't want any military positions and want to be free from control. They are so free and easy. Are they angry words?
Yue Pengfei was also slightly surprised and said: "Chen Qingtian, is this what you really think?"
Chen Qingtian's eyes were clear and he said loudly: "I hope the general will fulfill my thoughts from the bottom of my heart!"
Yue Pengfei hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Even if you don't want anything, I can't do this."
Then he made up his mind, looked directly at Chen Qingtian and said: "You come to my demon-suppressing army, and I will appoint you as the leader of the third formation of the demon-suppressing army."
"After combining your ideas, you can arrange the third army under your command at will. You don't have to listen to anyone's orders except me. I will give you full freedom."
Be the leader!
Chen Qingtian didn't expect that he was just asked to be the leader of the formation.
But he soon realized something was wrong. The generals around him all showed expressions of surprise and contemplation.
Chen Qingtian really didn't think much about it. Since Yue Pengfei said so, he agreed casually.
"General, since you have arranged it this way, I will listen to you!"
"Well!" Then Yue Pengfei continued: "Chen Qingtian, I know that you are definitely not short of treasures. The Eastern Legion will give you a physical reward. Whatever you want, you can go to the arsenal and choose. Of course, the upper limit of those things is also set. There, you can just take care of it yourself!”
Chen Qingtian smiled. Indeed, he did have a lot of good things, including skills and so on.
How could the Eastern Legion's arsenal be compared to the Immortal Martial Treasure House? To others, this was a coveted good thing, but to him, it was just the icing on the cake.
Even if it is a magic weapon, he has killed so many demons above the Divine Pill level this time and has more than a dozen spiritual weapons on his body. The most he can do is go to the arsenal to get top-quality spiritual weapons. Good things like Taoist weapons are definitely not available.
But Chen Qingtian still said loudly: "Thank you, General, for your generosity!"
Soon, the discussion about Chen Qingtian's military exploits came to an end.
As soon as he walked out of the general hall, Shan Wuhui followed him, volunteering to help Chen Qingtian handle the next matter.
The two of them walked on the broad road and seemed to have a lot to say.
Shan Wuhui spoke first, "Chen Qingtian, I didn't let you lead the army alone, so you don't have to think too much."
"It's just hard for these guys to accept it for a while. When you stay in our Eastern Legion for a while and make some shocking new achievements, I think those guys will naturally be speechless and won't object anymore."
Chen Qingtian nodded, knowing in his heart that Yue Pengfei's suggestion to let him lead the army was just to test something, or to pave the way for him next time.
It seems that the general really thinks highly of him, and he should really have the idea of letting him lead the army alone.
At this time, he shook his head indifferently and said: "General Shan, I don't have anything else on my mind. I can also understand the mood of all the generals."
Shan Wugui sighed: "Speaking of which, the general thinks highly of you, which is actually beyond my expectation, but I believe you will not let him down."
Chen Qingtian felt that Yue Pengfei was very discerning, and now he dared to cultivate himself in this way.
He suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, when the general appointed you as the leader of the third formation of the Demon Suppression Army just now, why did you all look like that?"
"Hahaha!" Shan Wuhui smiled and said mysteriously: "Chen Qingtian, our Eastern Legion has a very long history. Do you know where General Yue stayed for the longest time before he became a general."
Chen Qingtian shook his head.
He only had a rough understanding of Yue Pengfei's past, and thought his life was legendary.
Shan Wuhui said: "The general once served as the leader of the third formation of the Demon Suppressing Army for hundreds of years!"
"Oh!" Chen Qingtian was surprised for a moment!
Shan Wuhui continued: "Our Tenth Army of the Eastern Legion, the demon-suppressing army is definitely the strongest, and it is also directly commanded by the general."
"There are a total of ten formation armies inside. The first three formation armies are very strong. There are a large number of strong people in the Gang Body Realm, Feitian Realm, and even the Divine Pill Realm and even the Transformation Realm."
"So once there is a battle, they will be the absolute main force. Now you will become the leader of the formation and preside over the battle formation. You can definitely fight against those strong men in the ninth or even tenth realm of Fatong."
