Chapter 1225: Execute By Shooting

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After all, it would not be easy to punish a person with a major general rank despite the punishment being meted out by a superior. Nonetheless, the person who was sitting on the main seat before them was different. Although he was only a general, his authority was, in a sense, greater than the federal marshall. He had a few other identities that would startle the entire Federation.

The Sea God Army’s regimental commander! The War God Hall’s Hall Master! A Limit Douluo!

Any of these identities would be considered as of the highest grade in the entire Federation! In addition, he held the posts concurrently.

The supreme commander was one of the representatives of the Hawk Faction. However, there were different factions within the Hawk Faction itself and this person belonged to the strongest and toughest faction.

“Regardless of who the person is and for whatever the reason, the military will find the person bold enough to attack the federal fleet!”

“Reporting, sir!”

Meanwhile, a security officer shouted aloud at the door.

The supreme commander’s face darkened. “What is it?”

The security officer walked over in quick strides. He stood upright before he saluted. “Reporting to the supreme commander. There’s a troop of soldiers dressed in peculiar military uniforms out in the barracks. They said they’re the specially appointed inspectors sent by the federal headquarters. They received news that the fleet was attacked, so they are here for an investigation.”

“Specially appointed inspectors sent by the federal headquarters?” Chen Xinjie’s expression darkened. “Bring the leader into the room. I’d like to see the inspector who is sent by the Federation.”

The remaining of the joint command generals were baffled by the situation. The Federation sent over inspectors? Was it intentionally targeted at the fleet’s joint command?

According to the military rules, there was a special unit in charge of supervising the existing combat unit. However, the rules were different for the joint fleet! The supreme commander of the joint fleet was the current War God Hall’s Hall Master, the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie. Who had the audacity to invade his territory? Were these people out to dig their own graves especially when he was infuriated?

No one would dare question Chen Xinjie’s authority even if he had shot one or two men due to his current position in the military.

It was not long before a youth dressed in a white military uniform walked into the room led by a security officer.

The youth was tall and huge with wide shoulders. He had an elegant, handsome appearance and had a dignified air about him. He was about twenty-eight years old. His snow-white military uniform was so neatly pressed that there were hardly any creases. A general’s stars adorned the epaulets on each side of his shoulders. His heroic spirit was overbearing.

He followed closely behind the security officer as he stepped into the command post. Even though he was in the presence of dozens of generals, he did not flinch a bit. He walked in great strides until he was five meters away from Chen Xinjie. His right hand clenched into a fist before he thumped his fist against his chest. He saluted Chen Xinjie with a peculiar military salutation.

Chen Xinjie suddenly realized when he saw the military uniform on the man. He became acutely aware of the newcomer’s identity after observing the military salutation.

However, he frowned soon after. Since when did the army corps join the supervisory division?

“Our respected supreme commander, I’m from the supervisory division of the federal military’s headquarters. I’m the special correspondent and my code name is ‘Blood Dragon’.”

Most of the generals were expecting Chen Xinjie to have an outburst. Surprisingly, he did not. Chen Xinjie looked at the young man who was unwavering before him. He spoke with a deep voice, “Where are you from, huh?”

Blood Dragon answered, “We were not in charge of supervising the joint fleet initially, but we suspect that the joint fleet’s attack is related to the case that we are currently investigating. Skysea City is under lockdown at present. It impacts our operation to a certain extent so we’re requesting an interrogation. If it’s possible, I wish to discuss it with you in private.”

Upon hearing him, the rest of the soldiers were relieved. If they were truly sent by the federal supervisory division to monitor them, it would seem a little too soon since the explosion just occurred. Where did such a young major general come from? He was so calm and collected as he spoke to the Boundless Douluo Chen Xinjie. It was enough to make them fear him. Not everyone was capable of behaving so calmly in front of the Boundless Sea Douluo.

Chen Xinjie spoke, “Take him for a rest first. We’ll discuss later.” As he was speaking, he signaled for the security officer to take Blood Dragon to another room.

Xu Yangyun looked toward Chen Xinjie. “Supreme commander, is he from there?” The major generals and lieutenant generals could not identify the Blood Dragon. However, as a general himself, he knew about the many federal secrets so he could, at least, recognize the person a little.

Chen Xinjie nodded. “Most probably. I shall inquire later to find out if he’s from there. If he is, then he’s not related to us. Perhaps, he can provide some information on this.”

Xu Yangyun nodded. “If he’s from there, then we can’t neglect him. Their contribution to the Federation is tremendous. I’ve heard that...”

Chen Xinjie raised his hand to stop Xu Yangyun from continuing. Xu Yangyun noticed that the person sitting opposite him was the Eastsea Army Corps’ regimental commander, General Zhu Ming who was recently promoted. He appeared a little confused. Zhu Ming also realized that the major general dressed in white earlier would most likely be connected to the military secrets. As a newly-promoted general, he had yet to learn the secrets.

The Blood Dragon was brought to another reception room. He took a seat on the sofa as he surveyed the room.

The room was not luxurious but it could be considered exquisite. The door frame was engraved from wood while the wooden furniture made the room appear antique. It did not look like a general’s office but it was aesthetically pleasing.

The Blood Dragon closed his eyes to rest his spirit. He pondered over his behavior upon arriving here to ensure that he had not revealed any flaws.

Undoubtedly, Tang Wulin was the Blood Dragon. He took a risk with this trip, but he was feeling rather confident. Most importantly, he could not allow the matter to be under the Hawk Faction’s control, otherwise, there could possibly be trouble.

Thus, he made plans to come over along with his comrades. Before he came, he had made adequate preparations.

The joint command’s meeting did not last long for the core decision had already been made. They would carry out the investigation thoroughly to find the rascal!

On the other hand, the Federation had already accused the distant Star Luo Empire of being behind the attack. The approval rating of the Hawk Faction would certainly increase immensely. The cries for a war to be waged had already begun to stir the air.

When Chen Xinjie walked into his office, he saw Tang Wulin sitting there in repose.

His back was upright. His white military uniform complemented his overbearing heroic spirit. It had been four hours since they first met.

Chen Xinjie nodded in secret. This person deserved the Blood God Army’s reputation. He was not arrogant nor rash. No wonder he was capable of becoming a major general at such a young age.

However, Chen Xinjie was astonished that he was incapable of seeing through Tang Wulin’s cultivation base. He sensed that Tang Wulin’s soul power fluctuation was below eight rings, yet there seemed to be another type of energy fluctuation which was obscure but even more powerful. It was difficult to detect but definitely not weak.

Chen Xinjie could tell from his blood essence fluctuation and the details of his skeleton that the young man before him was rather impressive in having such achievements at a tender age.

Tang Wulin felt something vaguely, so he retracted his aura. He opened his eyes to see the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie’s gazing at him.

“Supreme commander.” Tang Wulin immediately stood up and saluted Chen Xinjie once again.

“Young man, do you know what my reaction was when I first saw you?” Chen Xinjie’s voice sounded gloomy and cold.

Tang Wulin shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“I should execute you by shooting.” The reply from Chen Xinjie sounded as if there was a soul beam rifle being pointed at Tang Wulin’s forehead.
