Chapter 507 - Cannon Fodder
“This is a great opportunity for you, but you don’t want it. Do you have to choose a harder path to go on?” The lieutenants were evidently not very happy with him. They thought to themselves that youngsters nowadays were too naive.
Mu Xuan didn’t speak right away. He sized Jiang Chen up carefully. The resolution in the young man’s eyes told him that he wouldn’t be able to talk him out of it no matter what he said.
“The Iron Dragon Army is responsible for the recruitment of generals. If you don’t want to join my Direct Battalion, you’ll be sent to the camp. The environment there isn’t very good. Be prepared for it,” Mu Xuan said calmly.
“Thank you, general,” Jiang Chen said sincerely.
Mu Xuan was a respectful man in many senses.
Jiang Chen left the general’s tent. The Iron Dragon Army would leave him at the next camp they passed.
Before that, he would stay with them. Gradually, he started to observe this elite troop.
His inquiry made the lieutenants think better of him.
“He’s been demoted from rank one of the standard class to rank one of the secondary class!
“That means from now on, the Iron Dragon Army will be too ashamed to raise our head in front of the other troops.”
Speaking about this, the lieutenants were very reluctant to accept the fact, but they had nothing against Jiang Chen. They were only unhappy with the dynasty.
“Isn’t this too much? No one died or was injured. And it’s the Infinite Sword School that provoked us first, and the Dragon Rebel Army stirred up trouble. If what the general did deserved such a punishment, wouldn’t the dynasty’s soldiers walk with their tails between their legs?” Jiang Chen was shocked.
The difference between rank one of the standard class and rank one of the secondary class was like the difference between president and vice president in a school.
“Jiang Chen, if you appreciate what the general did for you, don’t let him down. Make achievements as quickly as possible to make everything the general did worthwhile,” a lieutenant said.
“I will. Please tell the general I feel sorry for him,” Jiang Chen said. Then he went aboard the ship to the camp.
While watching Jiang Chen leave, the lieutenants couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh.
“He’s a great guy. It’s a pity to let him go.”
“Why didn’t the general keep him here?”
“The general said he didn’t have to keep a talented guy besides him. After his adventures out there, he’ll develop more rapidly.”
“Hopefully.”
Under the gazes of the lieutenants, the ship Jiang Chen took left the Iron Dragon Army to head somewhere unknown to him.
He noticed the ship was flying back to the Realm of Milky. It kept flying in clouds, and he could see nothing but the clouds.
Due to the high speed, his holy awareness detected nothing.
“Sit tight!” After a long time, the passengers on the ship heard a voice, then they felt the whole airship diving down.
When Jiang Chen and others were about to fly off, they heard the voice again. “Don’t fly off on your own. You’re responsible for any possible consequences if you do that!”
They had to conquer their fear, hoping the ship wouldn’t crash when they could see their surroundings again, because if that happened, even if they didn’t die, they would be seriously injured.
