247: Chapter 247 Lei Wuji's Secret Telegram, the Political Vortex in the Far North

"Execute on the spot!"

As soon as Major General Lei Wuji said this, the temperature inside the entire cabin seemed to drop to freezing instantly.

"What a load of bullshit!"

Jiang Feng was the first to lose his temper. He sprang up from the floor, grabbed the massive mountain-cleaving axe beside him, and roared at the holographic projection with bloodshot eyes.

"We saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the capital! They don't give us any rewards, and on top of that, they want to send Brother Chen to a military tribunal? And execute him?"

Jiang Feng was trembling with rage, slamming his axe into the cabin floor and sending sparks flying. "Those sons of bitches! Is there no justice left?"

Lin Qinghan also tightened her grip on the frost longsword in her hand. A trace of extreme chill flashed through her cold, clear eyes.

"If they want to condemn someone, they will always find a pretext." Lin Qinghan looked at Major General Lei Wuji in the projection, her voice bone-chillingly cold. "Major General Lei, what charges are they using?"

Major General Lei Wuji gave a bitter laugh and reached up to rub his aching temples. His eyes were bloodshot; it was clear he had been through an extremely brutal struggle among the military top brass over the past few days.

"Charges?" Major General Lei Wuji's voice was filled with endless mockery.

"First, slaughtering the head of a top Great Xia conglomerate in public without trial, disrupting rear-line stability."

"Second, using extremely strange methods, suspected of colluding with the Abyss in private, and Cultivating evil arts."

Hearing these two charges, Jiang Feng was so angry he nearly spat blood.

"Colluding with the Abyss? That old beast Grand Elder Wang Zhentian was the traitor colluding with The Cult! A thief crying 'stop thief'! Do they have no shame left?"

"In the Face of power and profit, what is shame worth?" Major General Lei Wuji sighed.

He looked up, his gaze extremely grave as he watched Su Chen, who had remained silent the whole time.

"Su Chen, the Great Xia military is not monolithic." Major General Lei Wuji explained the current political vortex at a rapid pace.

"The reason the Wang family dared to act so recklessly in the capital, and even dared to cooperate with the Abyss Cult, is because they have an extremely massive backer behind them!"

"The Supreme Command at the Great Xia Far North Star Gate frontline."

"That is where the 'conservative warlords,' composed of old-school conglomerates and aristocratic generals, are entrenched."

Major General Lei Wuji gritted his teeth, a flash of anger in his eyes. "The Wang family is just a dog kept by the conservatives in the capital! They exist solely to amass wealth and transport resources for them!"

"You didn't just slaughter your way through the Wang family; you crushed Grand Elder Wang Zhentian to death in front of the entire city."

"This is equivalent to slapping the conservatives hard across the Face! You even smashed their rice bowl directly!"

Major General Lei Wuji stared at Su Chen.

"Those old fogies are absolutely furious. They will never allow a Genius commoner with no background, whom they cannot control, to climb above them!"

The cabin fell into a deathly silence. Only the roar of the fighter jet's engines echoed in their ears.

Jiang Feng's hand holding the axe was trembling. He finally understood what a massive state machine they had provoked.

Faced with the fury of the conservative warlords. Faced with the impending military tribunal and execution.

Su Chen still leaned quietly against the leather seat.

He was not enraged. Nor was he in any way panicked.

He simply changed his sitting posture, crossing his hands in front of him.

"Are you finished?" Su Chen looked at Major General Lei Wuji in the holographic projection, his tone as flat as if he were discussing the weather today.

"I'm finished." Major General Lei Wuji was taken aback.

"And so what?" A cold, contemptuous sneer slowly curled the corners of Su Chen's mouth.

"If they want to play, I'll just play along with them."

Su Chen's gaze instantly became as cold and violent as an abyss. "Military tribunal? Execute on the spot?"

"Let them send people. If one comes, I kill one. If a pair comes, I kill a pair." Su Chen's voice was not loud, but it carried an absolute arrogance that seemed to trample the entire world underfoot.

"As long as they aren't afraid of draining the Far North frontline dry of blood."

"I don't mind wiping out that so-called Supreme Command as well."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the cabin seemed to solidify.

Jiang Feng swallowed, feeling his blood boil. Lin Qinghan watched Su Chen, the brilliance in her eyes growing more intense. This was the man she followed. No matter what warlords or conglomerates you are, cut them down with one sword!

But Major General Lei Wuji in the projection was so scared he nearly jumped up.

"You brat, have you lost your mind!!!" Major General Lei Wuji roared hoarsely.

"That is the Far North Star Gate frontline! It's not a fighting ring in the capital!"

"There are three million elite troops of Great Xia stationed there! There are countless Advanced heavy spiritual energy weapons!"

Major General Lei Wuji pointed at Su Chen, sweating profusely from anxiety. "Do you think you're a god? Even if you have reached a Breakthrough to Martial King, even if your physical arts are Heaven-Defying!"

"Faced with the firepower coverage of millions of troops, faced with those Martial King old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, how can you fight alone?"

"This isn't called being arrogant! This is called suicide!"

Major General Lei Wuji took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

"Since I dared to let you go to the Far North, I will absolutely not just watch you get killed by them!" A trace of extremely ruthless determination flashed in Major General Lei Wuji's eyes.

"If they want to touch you, they have to get past me first!" Major General Lei Wuji said through gritted teeth.

"For these three days, I have been slamming tables at the Supreme Command with those old dogs from the conservative faction!"

"I threw the recording of you slaughtering the Undead Blood Beast in the capital directly onto the table of the Supreme Council!"

"I argued with the Commander-in-Chief, using your massive military merit of saving tens of millions of civilians in the capital to forcibly suppress the joint impeachment by the conservatives!"

Hearing this, Lin Qinghan breathed a slight sigh of relief. If the military Commander-in-Chief stepped in, the conservatives would have to give some Face.

"However, just suppressing the impeachment is not enough." Major General Lei Wuji's expression was extremely serious. "You are just a student now, a commoner. The conservatives can find an excuse at any time and use wartime military law on the frontlines to deal with you directly!"

"In order to put an absolute protective amulet on you and prevent them from playing dirty." Major General Lei Wuji suddenly straightened his back. He looked at Su Chen and said, word for word.

"I directly used the 'special approval quota' that the Zhenyuan Army only gets once every ten years, bypassing all political review procedures and all military rank promotion regulations!"

"Su Chen." Major General Lei Wuji's voice boomed inside the cabin, carrying the absolute authority of the Great Xia military. "From now on." "You are officially commissioned by the Great Xia military as..." "A Major General!"

Major General?

As soon as these two words were spoken, the giant axe in Jiang Feng's hand went "clang" and fell to the floor again. He was completely dumbfounded.

Lin Qinghan also widened her eyes suddenly, her Face full of disbelief.

An eighteen-year-old... Major General? Since the founding of Great Xia hundreds of years ago, even the most Prodigy Martial God Old Ancestor back then only achieved the rank of general at the age of thirty!

Su Chen, a freshman who had just enrolled. He directly bypassed junior and field officers. He ascended in one step! He became the youngest general in the history of Great Xia!

"With this status." Major General Lei Wuji looked at Su Chen and let out a long, heavy breath. "You are a high-ranking general of Great Xia. Even if the conservative warlords want to kill you, they dare not openly use military law to execute a Major General! If they want to touch you, they must go through a public trial by the Supreme Military Tribunal!"

A glint flashed in Major General Lei Wuji's eyes. "This gives us time to breathe and counterattack."

"Brother Chen... you've become a general..." Jiang Feng was trembling with excitement, wishing he could pounce on Su Chen and kiss him twice. "Damn, this is practically bringing glory to one's ancestors!"

However, faced with this Major General rank that would drive all Martial Artists in the world crazy.

He still leaned calmly against the back of his chair. Those deep black eyes quietly watched Major General Lei Wuji in the holographic projection.

Su Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the leather seat, making a rhythmic "tap, tap, tap" sound.

"Major General Lei." Su Chen spoke. His voice carried an extreme rationality that seemed to see through everything.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

Su Chen looked at Major General Lei Wuji's tired Face. The corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Since the conservatives wield absolute power on the Far North frontline, they couldn't have compromised so easily, just watching you place a Major General title on my head."

Su Chen pointed out the core of the issue with pinpoint accuracy. "What exchange conditions did they propose?"

Hearing this from Su Chen, Major General Lei Wuji in the holographic projection suddenly stiffened.

He looked at Su Chen's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the human heart. A trace of extreme bitterness and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"You brat..." Major General Lei Wuji gave a bitter laugh, "You really are a Prodigy; nothing can be hidden from you."

Major General Lei Wuji took a deep breath. The expression on his Face became unprecedentedly heavy. It even carried a trace of deep guilt.

"You guessed right; the conservatives held their noses and accepted your Major General title." Major General Lei Wuji gritted his teeth and said, word for word.

"However, as a condition of the exchange." "They obtained the authority to assign your... specific garrison deployment at the Far North Star Gate frontline."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Qinghan's expression changed instantly. Handing over garrison assignment authority to enemies who wanted to kill him? This was practically washing one's own neck and handing it over to the other party's blade!

"Where did they assign you?" Lin Qinghan asked hurriedly.

Major General Lei Wuji lowered his head, not even daring to look into Su Chen's eyes.

"They issued you an appointment letter... the most vicious one since the founding of Great Xia."

Major General Lei Wuji's voice was terrifyingly hoarse.

"They assigned you to the very edge of the First Star Gate defense line. An absolute death zone where the entire army's mortality rate is as high as ninety percent."

Major General Lei Wuji suddenly looked up, his eye sockets red.

"The most notorious in the entire army... the Shura Battalion."

"Serving as the supreme Battalion Commander."
