I Have Awakened The Deduction System

70 Chapter 70

In the blink of an eye.

More than half of the soldiers in the barracks left.

The enormous Azure Dragon Legion soldiers did not take much time to leave. The other Marshal could not help but feel a little sad seeing this scene.

The strongest Legion had left, so this Glory City... Could it still be defended?

Should it still be defended?

To be honest.

Although they had never been on good terms with the Azure Dragon Marshal and had constant friction with each other.

However, when faced with such an external crisis, they did not want the city's defensive forces to be reduced to such a degree.

Putting aside the factions, they were all soldiers guarding the city!

However, up until now, there was only a Sergeant standing outside a tent, and he had never moved.

One person!

The mighty army was now only guarded by one person. It would be laughable if word got out.

He Chuan slowly walked forward.

"Aren't you leaving?"

The Sergeant immediately bowed.

"Reporting to the City Lord, I am a soldier of Glory City, not a soldier under the command of the Azure Dragon!"

He Chuan raised his eyebrows, "You really think so?"

The other party nodded heavily.

"This morning, when that old man in the city was causing trouble, I was there too."

"He is my father."

"After listening to what you said, I have decided that you are a good City Lord who truly serves the country and the people."

"Worthy of my lifelong loyalty!"

As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists, "Sir! As long as you give the order, I will die without a second thought!"

After hearing his words, the few Marshals standing not far away looked at each other and suddenly felt they might lose their positions because of this.

At that moment, they no longer thought about those miscellaneous things. One by one, they went forward and knelt on one knee like the Sergeant, vowing their loyalty.

The Captains and Deputy Generals of the Legion also ran over and expressed their positions.

"Alright, this is your own decision," He Chuan replied helplessly.

At this point, the power of the remaining three legions in the military camp had been taken by He Chuan.

However, everyone understood that all of this was only temporary.

Everyone present was clever.

They knew how to judge the situation.

At this time, they were standing on He Chuan's side not because of his identity as the City Lord but his title as a prince.

They were counting on He Chuan to ask for reinforcements from the imperial court.

He Chuan did not consider what these people were thinking.

He asked Xu Ke, the Military Chief of Staff, to distribute all the armor he had just harvested to the remaining three legions to strengthen the military strength.

Since this thing was of no use to him, he might as well give it away and activate the Law of Karma to get more returns.

Such a generous act naturally made the three Marshals very satisfied.

More or less, they gained some trust.

After that, the atmosphere in the military camp was unusually easygoing.

The vicious fights that frequently happened in the past never happened again.

Everyone stayed in their posts, each doing their part and doing their best.

Not only that.

After Glory City lost that batch of civil servants, it seemed that their efficiency in handling government affairs had increased significantly.

Many invisible obstacles had been reduced.

This time, Xu Ke finally understood.

It turned out that all of this was within His Highness' expectations.

He had long guessed there was a 'spy' among the civil servants sent by the Azure Dragon Marshal to infiltrate the internal affairs.

Taking advantage of the Azure Dragon Marshal's request for resources this time, he took advantage of the other party's character flaw and directly pushed the boat with the current, driving out all the army's pests.

By doing so, not only he gathered the army's morale but also made those who stayed behind feel a sense of belonging to Glory City.

Moreover, they could use of the resources they had just obtained more effectively.

They would be able to avoid being embezzled by people like the Azure Dragon Marshal, so as to fill their own pockets!

It was really killing two birds with one stone!

Xu Ke was deeply shocked.

Initially, he thought that the prince, He Chuan, who had been pampered all year round, had a bad temper. He disregarded everything and wanted to bring down the Azure Dragon Marshal, who had dissed him.

Ultimately, he did not expect his seemingly unintentional and casual move to bring so many positive effects behind the scenes!

No wonder it was said that accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor's heart was like the sea. He had to think twice before doing anything. He did not seek to figure out the emperor's intentions but only hoped he would not make a mistake in it.

Looking at it now, it was not an exaggeration at all!

"After all, he was once the crown prince. Although he is no longer the crown prince, his intentions are not something that a small subordinate like me can guess..."

Xu Ke sighed softly. Thinking back on what he had done, he started to feel lucky again.

Yups!

He did not do anything wrong!

His choice was not wrong at all to follow His Highness!

...

In the next few days, the soldiers in the army were all familiarizing themselves with the newly distributed weapons and equipment and researching new battle strategies.

In case they were not used to the battlefield when the time came.

The remaining three legions in the army were not small either. Although the White Tiger mainly led the Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, in reality, they were still in charge of their affairs due to their lack of energy.

This made them look like a pile of loose sand.

He Chuan had to find a new Marshal to prevent the situation from happening.

Initially, he was going to choose one of the three Marshals.

After that, he would nominate someone from the next rank to replace the vacant Marshal position.

However, after he understood it, he realized that.

Whether it was the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, or even the White Tiger Legion, they all had the same characteristic.

That was stability!

This was not within He Chuan's considerations.

Stability meant they could only have good command ability and not make mistakes in battle.

However, their overall view of the big picture was not enough. They were not the type of strategic talents.

The position of Marshal required one to have a view of the big picture.

If one did not have the ability and forcefully occupy it, it would only delay military affairs.

He Chuan had no choice but to announce throughout the city. He welcomed everyone to bring out talents and let those with talent come out to benefit everyone.

There were no conditions and ages restriction.

There were no requirements.

If you had the ability, you could be the Marshal of one of the three armies!

This kind of appointment model was unprecedented. In everyone's eyes, it was very new. Hence, countless people responded.

The applicants lined up from streets to alleys to the City Lord's Manor gate.

They all came to join in the fun, from an 80-year-old man to an eight-year-old child.

Even Xu Ke volunteered and eagerly came to do the test questions He Chuan gave.

He wanted to see if he had the honor.

In the end...

Among the people who came to do the written test...

Not even a single one passed!
