Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The stiffest tree is the most easily broken. General Ji, if you want to attain your goals and progress in your military career, you must learn how to advance and retreat as appropriate. You fought resolutely for the citizens’ survival today and earned their gratitude, but... I am afraid Zhan Fei’s enmity towards you was also greatly increased.” Yang Shun sighed. He felt sorry for Ji Fengyan’s current dilemma.
He had not exited his tent from the start and had only heard of the ongoings of the camp from his Blaze Army men. After learning of Ji Fengyan’s arrival, and news of the Wolf Smoke Regiment getting the best tents and the easiest assignments—Yang Shun already surmised it was all part of Zhan Fei and Situ Ba’s ploy to destroy the Wolf Smoke Regiment.
Yang Shun had not taken action as he didn’t think it would be of any use. It was usually best for bystanders not to meddle in the military affairs of others. This was also a way for Ji Fengyan to develop and grow.
But Yang Shun had stepped in this time as he knew things would deteriorate badly if allowed to continue.
Ji Fengyan was very grateful for Yang Shun’s kind intentions and well-meaning advice. With Yang Shun’s current standing, as long as he didn’t go head-to-head against the Green Nightmare Army, there was nothing Situ Ba could do about him. The Blaze Army was nearly as large as the Green Nightmare Army, and although they have not been as prominent these past few years, people still regarded them highly.
It could even be said that the citizens might still favor the Blaze Army over the Green Nightmare Army due to the former’s many years of past achievements.
“Thank you, General Yang.” Ji Fengyan looked sincerely at Yang Shun. She was still a greenhorn in matters of the military. For Yang Shun to be willing to advise her like this, it was both extraordinary and valuable.
Yang Shun shook his head smilingly. “You are most welcome. If General Ji has nothing on this period, you can follow me around. Although I am ‘very ill,’ it will not affect my interactions with General Ji. If you are willing, I am more than happy to share with you my experiences in leading an army.”
Ji Fengyan’s eyes brightened.
Yang Shun was prepared to teach her how to lead an army into battle?
“My utmost gratitude to General Yang’s kind intentions. I will trouble you in future then.” Ji Fengyan hastily got up and bowed to Yang Shun. Although they were both generals in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, they led different troops. They may be fellow officers on the surface but were also rivals in certain aspects.
There was only so much military recognition to go around in any given battle. One’s gain would be someone else’s loss.
That was why Terminators who were leading troops rarely interacted with each other. They were typically extremely guarded with each other.
The generosity displayed by Yang Shun was a truly rare thing.
“No trouble. After all, I am free spending all my days in this tent. Take it that you are keeping an old man company.” Yang Shun smiled.
Yang Shun was only 34 years old and still in prime condition. However, he always referred to himself as an old man. In reality... he was not old at all, but... there had never been a Terminator who lived past the age of 35.
For a Terminator, reaching 34 years of age was akin to having one foot in the grave.
But the reasons behind the Terminator deaths remained a mystery.
They looked like coincidences in some ways, but not in others.
“Alright, General Ji must be tired. Go back and have a rest first,” Yang Shun said pleasantly.
