Chapter 915: Chapter 367: Eradicating the Root
"Yuchan, what’s wrong?"
Looking at Ning Yuchan’s sinking face, Xu Jin asked.
When she looked up at Xu Jin, Ning Yuchan’s pretty face already showed a slight smile. "It’s nothing, General Zhang is urging me to return to camp, saying the military affairs have become extremely heavy and we are short-staffed recently."
Xu Jin frowned, "Yuchan, when you went to the Jichuan Star Domain, didn’t you report that you were executing a special military duty?" This matter was endorsed by the State Preceptor through the Great Chen Battle Zone Marshal Mansion.
"I did report, but Governor Cui Chongguang returned, so they are urging from that side."
After speaking, Ning Yuchan said seriously, "I am a soldier, and since there is a military order, I must rush back to Xingyang Battle City station immediately, what about you guys?"
Upon hearing this, Hou Yunzhang and Ji Hongli both looked at Xu Jin.
Unintentionally, a small group centered around Xu Jin had already formed.
Xu Jin had long understood Ning Yuchan’s nature of reporting the good and not the bad, fearing that the urgent message was not as relaxed as Ning Yuchan said.
A plan formed in his mind.
Previously, Xu Jin knew that Ning Yuchan’s ’luck’ was not good, being consistently assigned high-risk missions, even outsiders like Hou Yunzhang could see it.
At that time, Xu Jin had already been attentive.
This situation now seemed a bit abnormal.
It just so happened he had time, so Xu Jin prepared to investigate.
"Captain Hou, Yu, you accompany Yuchan back to Xingyang Battle City, cultivate and wait for orders individually, if anything happens, contact me directly. I still have an important matter entrusted by the State Preceptor to handle," Xu Jin said.
Hearing Xu Jin saying he was handling an important matter entrusted by the State Preceptor, Ning Yuchan and Ji Hongli sensibly didn’t ask more questions.
Soon after, the three set off together toward Xingyang Battle City.
As for Xu Jin, he identified the direction and then flew towards Yangdu Battle City.
The Military Lord of the Great Chen Mystic Tiger Army was the Yangdu Marquis, and the military residence was located in Yangdu Battle City.
In the Library of the National Taoist Institute, Xu Jin had long known the operational relationships between the various levels of forces in Great Chen.
It’s a hierarchical command structure.
If there is a military order from the Great Chen Battle Zone Commander’s Mansion, it would be directly issued to each army’s Military Lord, and then passed down layer by layer by the Military Lords.
Except under extremely special circumstances, orders will not be issued by skipping ranks.
But within the armies it is different, orders are layered down within the armies, and at the same time, orders within the Military Mansion can also be issued by skipping ranks.
Regardless of the situation, if there is frequent issuance of orders to Ning Yuchan, a Mid-Level general, it must be from the Mystic Tiger Army Military Mansion.
Therefore, to understand the root of this issue, Xu Jin must personally visit the Great Chen Mystic Tiger Army Military Mansion.
Previously, Xu Jin hadn’t paid too much attention to military-related matters of Ning Yuchan, but now focusing on them, he discovered another concern.
Military merit!
The military merit Ning Yuchan had been accumulating recently was astonishing.
Before sustaining serious injuries, she had already acquired four Great Merits, and in the battle where she was heavily injured, although she retreated, she still killed one Sixth-tier Alien Race, severely injured one, but had to retreat when encountering Sixth Rank Ninth Layer Alien Species.
In the military laws of the Galaxy Battlefield, when facing enemies with an overwhelmingly greater strength gap, failure is not held accountable, and if you delay and warn for a certain time, you actually gain merit.
Because you cannot let your subordinate soldiers go to their deaths!
In a world where mighty power belongs to oneself, against excessively powerful enemies, no matter how strong your fighting spirit is, it’s useless, because they can kill you with just a slap.
So in the battle where she was severely injured, even though Ning Yuchan was defeated, she actually still gained merit.
According to military law, a minimum of two Great Merits, possibly even three.
This is at least six Great Merits, possibly seven.
With Ning Yuchan’s current military rank, with five Great Merits, she was eligible to be promoted to Governor.
Furthermore, regarding the Fifth-tier Huashi Star Domain, Domain Master Ji Cheng had long sent out the military merit report.
Since military merit was useless to Xu Jin, more merit was tilted in favor of Ning Yuchan, Cui Chongguang, and others who needed it, among the Huashi Star Domain, Ning Yuchan was declared the first merit by Domain Master Ji Cheng.
Normally, at the very least, it would be a Miracle Merit.
If you count the achievements from the Jichuan Star Domain, this accumulated merit should have allowed a promotion to Vice Guard General without issue.
But so far, no promotion has been seen.
Therefore, Xu Jin can almost conclude that someone within the Mystic Tiger Army is deliberately making things difficult for Ning Yuchan.
So Xu Jin must personally investigate.
Meanwhile, during his flight, Xu Jin directly reported the details of this matter to the State Preceptor.
Soon, the State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao sent a Starlight Transmission.
[Wait a moment, I’ll have Marshal Mao look into this matter. Especially regarding the military merits of Huashi Star Domain, it’s been so many days, and theoretically, they should have reported to the Great Chen Commander’s Mansion, there shouldn’t be no movement.]
[Thank you, State Preceptor.]
After contacting, Xu Jin sped towards Yangdu Battle City.
Yangdu Battle City, being the frontline, is about seven thousand miles away from Great Chen Battle City, twice the distance of Xingyang Battle City from Great Chen Battle City.
Even at Xu Jin’s fast speed, it took six two-hours to fly there.
As soon as Xu Jin entered the coverage area of the Star-picking Tower Branch of Xingyang Battle City, he received a Starlight Transmission from Hou Yunzhang.
[Boss, Mystic Tiger Army is so bullying! Vice Governor Ning had just returned to the camp today afternoon and received military duties again, going with Governor Cui to lead elite forces for reconnaissance and limited cleanup of a Fifth-tier Star Domain to prevent this Star Domain from being connected to the Alien Race’s Ancestral Land Cave Heaven.
This Star Domain is the type without a Domain Master stationed, several times more dangerous than the Huashi Star Domain and Jichuan Star Domain.
No matter how strong Vice Governor Ning is, she shouldn’t be used like this, right?]
