Chapter 657 - Luminous Legion (1/2)
However, Tang Shaoyang did not immediately interfere with the situation. He looked at the old Moonlight Rabbit, Auron, and then he looked at the Crown Prince Virion. ”Do you have a specific reason to appoint Auron to be the second Vice-Legion Commander?”
There must be a reason for Chief Moon to push his own people to the position even though he said they could decide that by themselves. On top of that, Alton told him that The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe were in alliance, so they should not be fighting like this for no reason.
”It's for the following battle, My Lord.” Chief Moon looked Tang Shaoyang in the eyes and explained. ”I presume we will be fighting the three human kingdoms after we conquer Gigante Forest, right?”
Tang Shaoyang did not know why Chief Moon asked that, but he nodded his head. Everyone in the meeting hall was his people now, so letting them know was the best. ”Yes. After we get all the tribes under our banner, we will start attacking the three human kingdoms. We will start with The Lionax Kingdom.”
”Therefore, I proposed Auron for the second Vice-Legion Commander. He has a lot of experience under his belt, and I think he is the right person to lead an army in the war. I need someone like him to assist me in leading the army.” Chief Moon expressed his thoughts. Yes, he never planned to fight for the position. ”While at that, since Grand Elder Auron is old, we can nurture someone from our subordinate to succeed his position after the war.”
Tang Shaoyang glanced at the group with The Elven. The Elven King and The Elven Elders were retiring from their position, and the new Elven Elders were relatively young. It could be said that they were a bunch of inexperienced. Moonsong's reasoning was right on the spot, but he did not agree immediately to it.
Since Chief Moon brought up this here, he might as well involve everyone in the discussion. He looked at Ashley, Alton, and Aki. ”What do you guys think?” He involved the only Marshal and Vice Marshal in his force. Of course, there was a reason for this, even though he could agree immediately to Moonsong's proposal. It was to give The Elven some face. He had to pay attention to this kind of thing from now on.
”I don't see a problem here, My Lord.” Alton looked at Auron before he replied with a nod. He agreed for Auron to take the position.
”Unless you have someone better than Auron, I don't see an issue as well. We need the experienced one to lead the army.” After Ashley said that, everyone in the meeting hall looked toward Virion. Even though her words were not direct, everyone got the message. Unless you, The Elven, had a better candidate, Auron was the right person to hold the position.
Crown Prince Virion wanted to fight out the second Vice-Legion Commander so The Elven could integrate quickly into the Tang Empire's military force. However, when he glanced at his father, the latter nodded his head. The current Elven King told him to agree with the proposal.
'Hah. Even though my first son knows when to fight and surrender, his vision is still lacking. How can he not see that Moonsong only wants Auron to take the position until the war is over? On top of that, Lord Tang was clearly inclined to agree with the proposal. You should not go against Lord Tang, son.' King Revalor thought to himself. At the same time, he glanced at Aleesa. The fact that she did not voice any words in this meeting, meaning Aleesa had not gotten Lord Tang Shaoyang's affection yet. Things did not go as they expected.
Crown Prince Virion took a deep breath and replied. ”I agree with Chief Moon's recommendation. We need someone at Grand Elder Auron's caliber in the war. I think this is the best for the new legion.”
”Good, then it's decided that Auron will hold the Vice-Legion Commander.” Tang Shaoyang smiled as he appointed Auron to be the second Vice-Legion Commander. ”Then we will continue with the next topic. I want to hear your plan to absorb all the tribes in Gigante Forest into the Empire.”
The first one to raise his hand was Chief Moon. Tang Shaoyang let the Moonlight Rabbit speak. ”Before we come to that topic, I have a question, My Lord. What's the name of the new legion?”
