Chapter 771 - 771 264 Wish Fulfilled 【2 in 1】_4

Chapter 771: Chapter 264: Wish Fulfilled 【2 in 1】_4 Chapter 771: Chapter 264: Wish Fulfilled 【2 in 1】_4 He originally intended to rush over to see Wu Tiejun, but now that Wu Tiejun is seriously injured and he, the deputy commander, is not present, nobody is left to oversee the hundred-thousand-strong army camp, which could easily breed rebellion due to worry alone.

Especially at this moment, when it is still uncertain whether there are any enemy agents at home, it truly is a critical time where one cannot afford to let their guard down.

Normally innocuous words can now prompt deadly fights.

Take for instance—

“The Great Marshal is gravely wounded; we don’t know if he can pull through.” These words are perfectly normal, expressing worry and concern.

However, upon hearing this, some might respond with a punch, or even a knife: “Only you bloody don’t pull through!”

Why has the military always been the place with the strictest discipline?

The reason lies here.

Without strict discipline, is it even possible to manage these often violent soldiers who are ready to throw a punch or wield a knife at any disagreement?!

In line they may seem obedient, but in reality, each person is a distinct individual.

A hundred thousand people mean a hundred thousand different temperaments!

Absolutely no two people are exactly the same.

Without respected figures like Wu Tiejun, Fei Xinyu, Ma Qiange keeping the peace, the army camp is like a powder keg ready to ignite at any moment. How could anyone possibly contain the different desires of these hundred-thousand hearts?!

Who are these men? Each of them is a fiercely proud warrior, a hardened fighter who has rolled heads in front of the King of Hell!

Are they easy to manage?

Even if these men are not individually powerful, the vast majority share one trait: they consider their own lives as insignificant.

Ordinary soldiers who could even take each other’s lives in a fight, how can they be expected to behave well? It would be like a fool’s dream.

It’s the straightforward character of Wu Tiejun that shaped this army, providing commands as law, and the ability to indicate and execute plans without hesitation.

But once Wu Tiejun is gone, the situation changes dramatically. Even figures like Fei Xinyu, when sitting in Wu Tiejun’s position and dealing with matters, often feel inexplicably strained and sense that many people around them seem to bear ill will.

It feels as if these guys worry that he may seize the opportunity to usurp power.

This feeling angered and frustrated Fei Xinyu. He wished to seize power… but unless Wu Tiejun dies, he has no chance!

Even if Wu Tiejun dies and Ma Qiange is watching eagerly… what turn would it be his?

As for the old bastards above, each one is stupidly saying that he is only fit to be a general, not a commander… His head isn’t big enough to wear the commander’s helmet!

“What are you looking at?”

Fei Xinyu finally exploded under the cold stare of a deputy vanguard: “What does that look you’re giving me mean? Do you believe I can pluck out your eyeballs and stomp on them?”

The deputy general leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and scoffed: “I don’t believe it! I have no hidden motive! I just can’t stand you sitting in Commander Wu’s seat, looking so comfortable! Doesn’t your ass feel uncomfortable?”

“Damn you! When Wu Tiejun was here, I also often sat in this seat! Now that he’s seriously injured, I, as the deputy commander, take command of the troops. Which imperial military law does this violate? Tell me! What business is it of yours whether my ass feels comfortable or not?”

Fei Xinyu felt even more indignant and roared angrily.

“I didn’t say you were breaking any military laws!”

The deputy general snorted, knowing his words were indeed unreasonable.

Just as Fei Xinyu said, when the main commander is not present, has been sacrificed, or is too injured to manage affairs, it’s only natural that the deputy commander immediately takes control of the commanding role to continue leading the troops.

This is logical and expected. Otherwise, wouldn’t a unit without a leader be in chaos?

But even knowing this, when the deputy general saw Fei Xinyu sitting in Wu Tiejun’s seat, he still felt uncomfortable!

It simply upset him!

Deep down, he felt: this is Commander Wu’s position, are you even worthy to sit there?
