You don't want to? Everyone stared at Teng Yan in shock. Their expressions were complicated. The Emperor personally appointed him, and yet he rejected him without any hesitation?
”How dare you …” One of the officials shouted. Today, he finally experienced what it meant to be arrogant. The young man in front of him didn't seem to think much of His Majesty at all.
”General Wang, it's fine …” Zi Shengtian couldn't help but say indifferently, before shifting his gaze back to Teng Yan, ”I wonder how will General Yan be willing to lead troops?” He knew that the Empire of Ziye had no hope in facing the army of the Kassa Empire. At this moment, he could only place all his hopes on Teng Yan. Perhaps, in the entire Kingdom of Ziye, only the mysterious young man in front of him would be able to create a miracle …
Faced with all this, he had no choice but to compromise! This came from the helplessness of a high and mighty figure. It was also his sorrow. His identity, was destined to far surpass everyone's considerations …
”I don't know how to lead troops, but it won't be difficult for me to destroy that so-called army of the Kassa Empire. As for the conditions, it's very simple, there are only three of them …” However, he had already started planning everything when he first heard that the Kassa Empire was attacking the Empire of Zi Ye. This time, he would not only take this opportunity to train his brothers who were going to defy the heavens, but he would also use this opportunity to establish his own power. Even in the Kingdom of Zi Ye, he would not be able to shake them …
”I wonder what is General Yan's so-called condition? Why don't you tell me about it?” Zi Shengtian faintly said.
”First, since I am the one leading the troops, I must have absolute power. Every single person on the front lines, no matter if they are high and mighty generals or ordinary soldiers, even if I want them to die, they must obey me unconditionally …” Teng Yan didn't know what the army in this world was like, but according to the memories of his past life, as a soldier, he should unconditionally obey … If an army didn't even have the slightest amount of obedience, then they definitely wouldn't be able to become an iron-blooded division.
”Naturally, there's no problem. Since General Yan is the commander-in-chief of this expedition, everyone must listen to his commands. If anyone objects, General Yan does not need to be informed. No matter who it is, everyone can be executed first …” Zi Shengtian firmly replied. If there was any disobedience on the battlefield, it would affect the morale of the entire army. He knew this very well, so he had no objection to Teng Yan's decision and even supported him unconditionally.
”Second, no matter what I do, no one is allowed to interfere, and no one is allowed to obstruct me. As long as I enter the battlefield, even the Emperor cannot demand anything of me. Of course, I will absolutely put the interests of the empire first.”
”This can satisfy General Yan as well. Outside, there is a principle that the military order should not be taken away! This principle has never changed since ancient times. As long as General Yan does not do anything that would harm the empire, I can agree as well!” Zi Shengtian continued to compromise. However, at this moment, the generals all had complicated expressions on their faces. It was hard to tell what they were thinking.
If what Teng Yan said was true, then the army would undoubtedly be in the hands of Teng Yan. What if he turned traitor?
This could be a small matter. Someone wanted to say something, but Teng Yan had already raised his third and last condition.
”As for my third condition …” With that, Teng Yan hesitated again. This was the third condition and the last one. According to the previous two conditions, the third condition would not be simple either.
Everyone held their breath as they tried to guess what Teng Yan's third condition would be.
