Chapter 943 - Little General Wang Ze Cheng (2/2)
As he said that, Lochlan said, ”Men, give Luote the title of Commander in Chief and posthumous title of Marquis Zhongyong!”
Everyone was shocked. No one expected that Lochlan would actually give Luote the title of Commander in Chief. One must know that there were only three in the empire: Qin Ye, Les, and I. However, he was dead and being a Commander in Chief was pointless — he wouldn't get any salary at all.
At the side, the soldier looked at the pieces of Luote's body. Lin Wan Er frowned and looked at me uncomfortably. I hugged her and said, ”Stop looking... Don't look...”
I didn't bother as I had seen such gory scenes more than once. I had killed many, and it was normal for the Artificials to be sliced into dozens of pieces by Xiao Hei.
……
Lochlan calmed down Louis and headed back onto the throne.
After sitting down, he looked toward the crowd and said, ”The Generals have fought for Tian Ling Empire; I have seen all of this. I hope everyone can work together and force back the Hybrid Demons. After this I will reward you one by one, I won't treat any of you all badly. Now report the various losses and general deaths!”
The various army clerks tabulated their results and handed the scrolls over.
Lochlan looked at each and every one of them and said, ”Three Majors from Fire Dragon Army died. What a waste, even the deputy general died. Alright, Major Fang Ge Que has fought well, he will become the Deputy General. The rest of the major slots will be replaced by meritorious lieutenants.”
Longzhong cupped his fists and said, ”Yes, Your Majesty!”
Lochlan looked toward me, ”Master Li, the Royal Army also has a shortfall... Major Mowen died in the battle. It is time to promote a new major.”
Luo Xun said, ”Your Majesty, the Rongdi Army has many generals. I don't mind lending a few to the Royal Army. My Lieutenant Chouqi is really strong and can be a major.”
Lochlan turned toward me, ”Master Li, what do you think?”
I couldn't help but laugh, ”The Royal Army has many talents. Our Lieutenants are definitely no weaker than the Rongdi Army majors. I am worried about the Rongdi Army that had so many deaths. Do they need a few lieutenants to help make up for their losses?”
Luo Xun said furiously, ”Li Xiao Yao, what kind of words are those? How can the Royal Army's Lieutenants compare to my Rongdi Army majors?”
My brow rose up, ”Why not I select five lieutenants to fight five of your majors and we can see who wins?”
Luo Xun was instantly afraid; if they really fought, it would be tough to say. The Royal Army had been through many wars and our lieutenant levels and grades were really high. Them not losing to the Rongdi Army majors was true.
Situ Xin, Baili Ning, Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, and the other generals laughed. Luo Xun's face turned red but he didn't dare to challenge me. He wanted to place spies in the Royal Army but who would’ve known that I would bite him back and want to send Royal Army Lieutenants into the Rongdi Army? As long as a dozen enter, half of their strength would be mine!
……
Lochlan smiled and said, ”Father, don't compare with Master Li. You are my father and he is my teacher, don't put me in a tight spot.”
Luo Xun cupped his fists, ”Yes, Your Majesty!”
Lochlan continued to read the scrolls, ”Fire Axe Army Deputy General died too — out of the 6 majors, 3 died. The most suitable one to become a Deputy General is Bei Chenfeng. How about we promote him to deputy?”
Marquis Louis stood up, ”Your Majesty, I have another choice. ”
”Oh, who?”
”It is this Little General behind me.” Louis moved to the side. Behind him was Wang Ze Cheng who carried a spear and shield, whose shoulder shone the dark gold of the lieutenant rank.
Lochlan was shocked, ”This Little General Wang is just a lieutenant?”
Louis cupped his fists and said, ”Yes, Your Majesty, but I have seen his courage. He risked his life to save me and also took care of Luote's body. I have made my mind up. How about we appoint him as the deputy general?”
At the side, Q-Sword’s face was really ugly, ”Marquis, why not let me take over?”
Louis looked toward Q-Sword and said expressionlessly, ”When I ordered you to protect Luote, did you do it? I ordered you to strike Barbarian Wolf Cavarly's docking point, but did you listen to my orders? The Fire Axe Army needs generals that listen obediently and not arrogant generals. General Beichen, you still have more to learn!”
Q-Sword was annoyed and embarrassed. He suppressed his anger and cupped his fists, ”I will learn a lot by following the Marquis. Don't worry, I won't let you down.”
Louis nodded his head and smiled, ”That's the way!”
……
I was silent as I stood opposite them. However, in my heart, I was laughing out loud. F***, Q-Sword who was said to be the most perfect male in the China Region, was actually facing such a situation!
At the same time, it also proved that no matter how much effort you spent in doing something, other people could just suck up. That was life, and one just had to accept it!
