Chapter 519 - Office of Military Justice
Jiang Chen had proven through his strength that he wasn’t making a show in the army, but had real talent.
Questions about his background started to rise among people, like where he was from and who his master was.
It turned out that no one knew. The young generals that had come to the Third Legion with him knew nothing about him. Even the other three men who also had joined the army from the Infinite Sword School had no idea, either.
This guy seemed like he had appeared out of thin air, which made people even more curious about him.
The higher-ups must have had his profile, but average soldiers had no access.
“He’s from the Realm of Nine Heavens? And he’s in exile?”
In a nicely-decorated cabin on the warship, the youngster who had helped Jiang Chen was reading his profile.
“Qiu Yan, without you, the army will keep functioning, but you can’t just leave as you wish,” the officer said coldly.
“I won’t participate in any battles anymore,” Qiu Yan said desperately.
“The Red Flame Battalion won’t fall apart without you. Since you’ve violated military code, you’re relieved of your post. Lieutenants of the Red Flame Battalion, come here,” the officer said.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and went forward.
“It’s you?” Upon seeing Jiang Chen, those in the Office of Military Justice all turned pale.
They all remembered the fight between Zhang Tianyi and him. Not until then did they recall that he was from the Red Flame Battalion.
The senior officer said severely, “Where are the other lieutenants?”
“They all died in war for the dynasty. I’m the only one,” said Jiang Chen.
“So, you’ll be the commander of the Red Flame Battalion from today onward,” the officer said impatiently.
Qiu Yan threw a glance at Jiang Chen. It was hard to tell from her look what was on her mind.
“Officer, the Red Flame Battalion had its day under the leadership of Commander Qiu Yan. They made many contributions. I’ve only been here for four or five days. If I’m designated to command them, I’m afraid people won’t be impressed.
“Besides, what Commander Qiu asked for is totally reasonable. Your decision will disappoint countless people who are fighting for the dynasty,” said Jiang Chen.
Qiu Yan was more surprised than anyone else to hear this. She had prepared to die when she had come to the Office of Military Justice. She hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to support her.
People who thought the affair was over realized it had actually just begun.
