Chapter 390: Chapter 378: Headaches and Follow-up, Favor of the Big Shots, Struggle for Ownership
"..."
Give directions my foot!
In this situation, who can still give you directions, you overpowering dragon?
The words brimming with guilt from Chu Feng sounded rather harsh in the ears of a few officers.
They looked at Chu Feng, then at each other, their expressions somewhat helpless.
When they had decided on the trial, they never considered that Chu Feng could actually withstand and even crush the combined Qi of over a thousand veteran warriors!
Not only that, he used his still forming but already excessively bloody Martial Dao True Meaning to counter-crush the warriors’ wills!
Now, the scene had turned ugly!
Seeing those soldiers wilted on the ground, crying bitterly.
Thinking about having to deal with so many psychological issues, and facing Commander’s livid face once this got out, their scalps tingled uncontrollably.
The rather green-looking youthful figure standing before them was no doubt the chief cause of the current situation.
But...to pin the responsibility on Chu Feng, they simply couldn’t bring themselves to say it.
Today, did Chu Feng do something wrong?
He wasn’t wrong!
He didn’t initiate the attack but was first subjected to the warriors’ oppressive Qi, essentially amounting to an attack, and of course he had the right to counterattack!
Were the soldiers at fault then?
They weren’t to blame either!
They were merely following orders from their superiors, perhaps with some reluctance, and ultimately, they hit a wall.
So whose fault was this?
Obviously, it was these few officers who had proposed to test Chu Feng’s abilities!
If it hadn’t been for their insistence on having the warriors initiate the attack, Chu Feng wouldn’t have retaliated, and the warriors wouldn’t have been influenced by Chu Feng’s Martial Dao True Meaning.
They were also wrong in completely underestimating Chu Feng’s strength.
They had never expected he could overpower three thousand men and nearly assimilate their Martial Dao Beliefs!
Thinking about the impending trouble and accountability, their heads instantly felt massive.
At this moment, they were also crying foul internally, what the hell kind of monster had sprung up!
Who could have predicted that this guy’s battle reports were utterly factual, without any exaggeration or padding, all real deal!
"...cough cough, Captain Chu, please don’t take it personally, we meant no harm. We just wanted to gauge the capabilities of a young hero who could consecutively eliminate twelve Demon Clan camps within a month."
The leading officer coughed twice, breaking the awkward silence and took the initiative to explain.
"Ah, I understand, really sorry about that, I truly meant no harm either, just too young and inexperienced, I might’ve been a bit too heavy-handed, my fault!"
Chu Feng scratched his head, displaying an embarrassed smile like a sunny, big boy, causing the officers to somewhat question their lives.
Looking at this green-faced kid, are you kidding me? Who are you trying to fool!
The leading officer gave a wry smile, and gestured with his hand, "Captain Chu, this isn’t the place to talk, please follow me."
He then looked back at another officer and ordered, "Colonel Yao, please take care of the soldiers and see how they are doing!
"Cough, and also, write a report on the situation and hand it over to me."
"...ah? Me?"
After saying that, the leading officer ignored Colonel Yao, who stood helplessly with his mouth agape and eyes showing helplessness, and led Chu Feng into the building.
Colonel Yao, left with a face full of annoyance, was left to clean up after their bad advice.
...
The leading officer led Captain Chu Feng into a conference room; after they were seated, everyone’s expressions had returned to normal.
Not only had they returned to normal, but their gazes towards Chu Feng even carried a hint of fervor.
The look made Chu Feng extremely uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on his body.
The leading officer smiled and began, "Hello, Captain Chu Feng, welcome to your visit.
"Let me introduce myself; I am Li Zhong, a major general, currently serving as the deputy commander of the Second Field Army of Demon Suppression City."
As soon as Li Zhong finished speaking, the dark-skinned officer immediately to his right continued, "I am Lu Jin, major general, serving as the deputy commander of the Third Field Army."
The third tall, thin officer also smiled and said, "Hello, Little Chu, I am Zhong Kedi, a major general, currently the commander of the Fifth Army.
"I must say, I and your superior, Commander Lin, were classmates. I wonder if he has ever mentioned me to you..."
"Cough, cough!"
Zhong Kedi’s attempt at familiarity was interrupted by a cough from Li Zhong, causing him to glare at Li Zhong resentfully.
"......"
Listening to these people introduce themselves, Chu Feng’s pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.
The officers leading the group turned out to be major figures on par with Lin Zhong!
This made Chu Feng quite stunned.
In both the Demon Extermination Army and the Demon Annihilation Army, the discipline was strict, with deep rifts between ranks that were hard to bridge.
Chu Feng had managed to get acquainted with Lin Zhong through Yan University President Ge Yunsong, who had facilitated this rare exception.
Under normal circumstances, with his status, he wouldn’t have had the chance to interact with someone of Lin Zhong’s caliber.
During his time on the Far East Defense Line, he had more or less figured out the workings and understood what it meant for Lin Zhong to personally protect him multiple times.
—It meant that Lin Zhong truly regarded him as his own family, caring for and nurturing him without reservation!
This kind of treatment, if made known, would drive many in the Demon Extermination Army crazy with envy!
Therefore, before coming to the Eastern War Zone, Chu Feng made a special trip to consult with Secretary Wang to understand the rules,
so as not to fall short anywhere, causing Lin Zhong to lose face and become the subject of ridicule.
Speaking of treatment, according to his rank, sending a captain from the Eastern War Zone would have been standard, and sending a major would have already been exceptional treatment.
Now the three major generals had come together to receive him, which was a highly esteemed gesture!
He immediately stood up, saluted again, and said, "I am truly honored by your kindness, chiefs. Thank you for receiving me!"
"Hey hey hey, please sit, Captain Chu, no need to be so formal!"
Li Zhong pressed his palm down, gesturing for Chu Feng to sit, barely able to contain his smile, "It’s good to know how to be grateful. A heart full of gratitude is a fine trait of the Longhua people!
"Since you possess such a heart, I won’t be shy about taking it on—I’ll have you join my Second Army to serve under me..."
"Hold on, join what? Old Li, you’re being rather unseemly!"
The dark-skinned commander of the Third Army, Lu Jin, glared and interjected with a laughing scold, cutting off Li Zhong’s words.
The Fifth Army commander, Zhong Kedi, also said with a smile, "Li, you can’t keep this good fortune all to yourself; you have to consider your younger brother here,
"With Chu’s achievements, Lin Zhong has already secured a spot for this year’s Outstanding Officer, and brother, seeing it, desires it greatly too!"
"......"
Chu Feng, unable to get a word in, just watched open-mouthed as the three generals quarreled over who would claim him.
