Chapter 449: Showing Off!
“There’s no need to say much about your strength. The strength of a nascent soul realm cultivator is indeed very strong, but I’m sorry, I can’t agree with your methods of managing your subordinates.
“You’re the altar master, and the others are all your subordinates. I don’t understand. Before they completely control or nullify your authority, why don’t you hurry up and finish them off?
“Why don’t you just kill them?”
Victor’s tone was very calm as if killing someone was something not worth mentioning to him at all.
“Long Yi, I heard that he has been a Flying General for seven years. To be honest, I really don’t understand.”
Victor stood up and walked in front of Feng Lian. The distance between the two was close enough to almost feel each other’s burning breaths.
“Lord, why didn’t you kill him before he fully matured?”
“I…”
The distance was suddenly pulled closer, and Feng Lian appeared to be at a loss. She took a few steps back, but Victor grabbed her wrist.
“Since lord is unwilling to speak, why don’t you let me do the talking? A total of seven years. In the first four years, you were neutral toward Long Yi’s expansion of power. You neither approved nor refused.
“In the fifth year, you suddenly discovered that the Flood Dragon Army had almost become Long Yi’s hall of fame. Moreover, for five consecutive years, there had been no candidates who were more powerful than Long Yi as a Flying General. You finally began to worry.
“In the sixth year, you finally understood Long Yi’s wolf-like ambition. His goal was not just the Flying General. What he wanted was your position as the altar master. However, at this point, you no longer had the ability to deal with Long Yi.
“In the seventh year, you met me, altar master. Am I right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Lian looked at Victor in surprise. Although she did not want to admit it, everything Victor said was true!
“That’s… That’s right. It was indeed my negligence.”
“Sigh. Actually, this isn’t a big deal. In fact, even without me, as long as the altar master was willing to be ruthless and annihilate Long Yi and the five thousand men in the Flood Dragon Army under his command, the matter could still be easily resolved.
“To put it bluntly, a woman’s visions are shallow. She wants to control Long Yi’s formidable power, but she’s also afraid that he’s out of her control. In the end, she played it too far… only then did she feel regret.” Victor sneered as he spoke. He continued, “But, my Lord, aren’t you afraid that I’ll replace Long Yi and continue to fight for the altar master’s position?”
Feng Lian’s expression changed. She bit her red lips with her pearly white teeth and remained silent.
To be honest, she had also considered this point. Even Long Yi could not be controlled by her. This person was stronger than Long Yi and had a steadier mind. Would she be able to firmly control him?
With this thought in mind, a faint killing intent seeped out from Feng Lian’s body.
Fortunately, at this time, Victor laughed lightly and explained, “I’m just joking. Don’t worry, altar master, you can sit at ease in your position. I have no interest in it.”
Seeing Victor leave quickly, Feng Lian finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Seeking the skin of a tiger… seeking the skin of a tiger…”
..
After returning to the military camp, the first thing Victor did was to have the Thousand Banner Officers come and see him.
It had to be said that Long Yi was indeed a rare talent in training the army.
When the other armies were all under the control of their respective generals, Long Yi had set up the Banner Officers, one banner officer for every one thousand soldiers. The entire Flood Dragon Army was well managed by the five Thousand Banner Officers.
At the same time, as Long Yi’s trusted aides, they were also the biggest obstacle to Victor’s desire to control the army!
The news of Long Yi’s defeat spread to the military camp one step ahead of Victor. While the Flood Dragon Army was shocked, they were more dissatisfied.
After all, since General Long Yi had made an exception and was set to be the fifth general, why not let him continue to lead the Flood Dragon Army? Instead of letting a young boy take charge of the most powerful army of the Demon Slaying Division!
Therefore, before Victor arrived, they had already joined forces to show Victor, the newly promoted Flying General, their might.
However, they did not expect that they would encounter a tough nut this time!
When they arrived at the tent, Victor walked in. The five Thousand Banner Officers had been waiting here for a long time.
However, Victor soon noticed that his main seat had been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by an older Thousand Banner Officer.
‘Hehe, trying to show off. It’s a pity that your methods are too cheap.’ Victor cursed in his heart. His expression was calm as he walked forward and kicked the officer who had s.n.a.t.c.hed his seat away.
“Don’t you have eyes? This is the position for the general. Who do you think you are? How dare you sit here?”
Everyone was shocked!
“General, isn’t it inappropriate for you to beat up your subordinates as soon as you inherit the position?”
Naturally, they could not stand Victor’s att.i.tude. They all said that Victor had no manners.
“Am I the general or are you the general? Did I allow you to speak?”
“This… your subordinate is only making a small suggestion.”
“Did I allow you to mention it? Who the h.e.l.l are you to give me advice?”
After saying that, Victor slowly stood up and gave him a slap. The Thousand Banner Officer who was being sarcastic was immediately hit by Victor and three of his big teeth flew out. His flesh and blood flew everywhere!
“Remember, from today onwards, I am the general. If I don’t allow you to speak, whoever speaks will be punished!”
Victor sneered and raised his hand, gesturing for the guards to carry the two who had fainted away, he then continued, “I believe that the few people present here are very dissatisfied with the matter of me succeeding as the general of the Flood Dragon Army. You all think that only General Long Yi is qualified to lead you, right?”
You were aware of this too?
Although the other three really wanted to say this, they still shook their heads respectfully due to Victor’s tyrannical power. “General, you must be joking. You are the general of the Flood Dragon Army. Who would dare to disobey you?”
“Is that so?” Victor turned his head around. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and revealed a slight smile. “In that case, I hereby announce that the five of you have been dismissed.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three immediately stood up and surrounded Victor.
“General, there’s no joking in the army. The few of us are the Thousand Banner Officers appointed by General Long Yi!”
“So? Long Yi has already scurried away. I have the final say here.” Victor slowly stood up and continued, “Moreover, even if he’s here, he wouldn’t dare to say no even if I dismissed all of you!”
Bang!
A m.u.f.fled sound came from the encampment. Along with the sound, three Thousand Banner Officers flew out of the encampment and crashed heavily on the ground.
“Men!”
Victor walked out and shouted. Dozens of guards walked forward.
“These Thousand Banner Officers rebelled and threatened me. They treat military law as nothing! I order these five people to be publicly beheaded!”
No one dared to move.
Yes, just like the information Feng Lian gave Victor, the current Flood Dragon Army was Long Yi, his Flood Dragon Army!
“Hehe, are you all pretending to be deaf? Interesting, very interesting!”
