Chapter 884 - Appointment (2/2)

Now, Xian Tian Palace's power was exactly like an eagle that stretched its wings forward and the Xian Tian Palace located right at the eagles' heart while Heaven Suppressing Prefecture was the beak.

Thus, Heaven Suppressing Prefecture was extremely important and it must not be lost at any cost; it could support the wings if necessary, making enemies that attack the wings suffer extreme losses instead of hurting Xian Tian Palace's power.

On the other way round, if enemies were to attack Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, reinforcements from the wings would arrive in no time.

Now, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wanted either King Zi Guang or Zhong Yue to be stationed at Heaven Suppressing Prefecture.

King Zi Guang, who was standing at the side, was also examining Heaven Suppressing Prefecture and he frowned. He too felt that things were a little bit tricky.

Heaven Suppressing Prefecture was way too important; if they were to start a war with the other powers, the enemies were definitely going to tackle Heaven Suppressing Prefecture right away, making it a great challenge to safeguard Heaven Suppressing Prefecture and they could already foresee how much blood will be shed here!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said, "Zi Guang, if you were to guard Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, how many forces do you think you'll need?"

"As many as I can get!"

King Zi Guang replied, "At least 5,000,000 armies or it'd be almost impossible to guard Heaven Suppressing Prefecture! In addition, I'd need at least 3 Imperial Emperor level existences to aid me!"

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had a scare and he frowned at this reply he received, which he found a little bit unpleasant, "You are asking too much. I may have Imperial Emperor level existences serving me but they all have their own assigned positions. Besides, if I gave you 5,000,000 men, I'd have to thin out the numbers in the other places. I can only give you 1 Imperial Emperor level existence and 1,000,000 men at most."

"What you ask for is too much!"

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then turned around to Zhong Yue and asked, "Mister Yi, how about you? How many men do you need? If what you asked is the same as Zi Guang, then forget about saying it out loud."

Zhong Yue stared at the map and after considering for a moment, he exhaled deeply and said seriously, "Sometimes, more men doesn't equate to a better outcome. With my own men, the 8,000 Fuxi and the ancient universe's humans, I will be able to protect the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture!"

"Just that little? Do you not want more men?" exclaimed Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

King Zi Guang frowned and added, "Indeed, your men is not enough at all."

To answer their question, Zhong Yue enlarged the detailed star map, looked at the landscapes around Heaven Suppressing Prefecture and gave King Zi Guang a glance and said, "What I told you is more than enough! Your Majesty, if you grant me permission to command the armies stationed around Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, I could even support the wings!"

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was very moved by this suggestion but he still hesitated, "Zi Guang asked too much and you asked too little and because you asked too much, I felt even more uneasy about this…. My dear advisors, you are making things too difficult for me."

King Zi Guang frowned as well since the number of men that Zhong Yue requested seemed way too little. This time, he did not object Zhong Yue because of personal affairs as Heaven Suppressing Prefecture was just too important of a locations that it must not be threatened at all!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian remained silent for a long time before he said, "Mister Yi, Heaven Suppressing Prefecture must not be lost!"

"If I lose Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, I will bring my head to you!"

King Zi Guang on the other hand, quickly warned, "Mister Yi, this goes beyond our personal squabbles, please think this over…."

"Alright! The decision has been made! I will pass the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture to Mister Yi and he will be in charge!" shouted Imperial Emperor Xian Tian as he slammed onto the table when he got up.

"What else do you need?" asked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

"The power to prosecute!"

"Granted!"

"The power to act before reporting!"

"Granted!"

"Whatever I decide, Zi Guang must not interfere!"

"Granted!"

"What I do can bypass Your Majesty for the time being!"

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian hesitated but after a while, he said, "About this, don't you think you have to tell me first…."

Zhong Yue immediately said, "It takes a year to travel back and forth Xian Tian Palace and Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, reporting back to Your Majesty will serve no good but to impact the situation negatively."

"Fine, do it your way." said Imperial Emperor Xian Tian hesitantly.

"Then Your Majesty can start the appointment ceremony now!"

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian immediately summoned the many officers and before their witnesses, he personally took out the army talisman and seal, bowed at Zhong Yue and said, "Heaven Suppressing Prefecture will be in your hands now!"

In front of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, Zhong Yue stood there proudly and confidently, bowed back as he took over the talisman and the seal and replied in a rumbling voice, "I will not fail you, Your Majesty!"
