The Brilliant Fighting Master

The bald man who had proposed to fight until death said unhappily, “So tell me what we should do.”

He looked toward the man who was down in the dumps, sitting there silently, not caring enough to answer him.

But when he threw a casual and desperate glance at the dynasty’s army, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen someone he knew well, but he wasn’t sure it was the same guy.

At the same time, the Tiger Battle Group came back.

“Dragon Rebel Army, you sinister and crafty people, you’re collaborating with the demons. What a group of losers!”

The commander of the North Mansion Battalion swaggered up to the captives, ignoring the contemptuous looks from the Bright Moon Battle Group and the Shadow Pursuing Troop after he came back. He held his knife high, intending to kill them.

In his eyes, these captives were all merely war merit points.

“Stop!”

It was beyond Jiang Chen’s comprehension that a person could be so shameless. Unable to put up with the commander anymore, he came forward.

“Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen! It’s me, Han Siming!” Han Siming hurried to shout loudly as soon as he confirmed he wasn’t wrong.

“Your trick won’t work…” The person beside him shook his head, thinking Han Siming was only a drowning man who was clutching at straws.

He had met an acquaintance in the enemy’s troop at such a moment? What a joke.

“Brother Han?”

To the others’ surprise, the man Han Siming had called Jiang Chen reacted strongly. Leading the Red Flame Battalion, he walked over at a fast pace.

The commander of the North Mansion Battalion and the Flying Mount Battalion glanced at each other, in no hurry to act.

“It’s really you?”

Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised after confirming that he hadn’t mistaken the guy in front of him for his friend.

He felt glad to see an old friend on this cruel battlefield.

Han Siming had never gotten to his feet as fast. He gave Jiang Chen a big hug.

“Jiang Chen, why are you here?”

“And you? How is the Dragon Field?”

“Alas…”

The two kept asking each other questions, both a little incoherent. Neither of them had come back to themselves yet.

The commanders of the North Mansion Battalion and the Flying Mount Battalion nodded at each other. They suddenly beckoned to the soldiers. And the soldiers from the two battalions encircled Jiang Chen and Han Siming, pointing their weapons at them.

“What are you up to?!”

Qiu Yan had a hunch that something was wrong. She led the Red Flame Battalion to protect Jiang Chen right away.

“The Red Flame Battalion have turned out to be traitors. I wondered how this Jiang Chen could have been so wonderful. It turns out he’s a spy!”

“Do you have any proof?” Zhao Wenhao said unhappily.

The commander of the Tiger Troop also came with a long face.

The commanders of the North Mansion Battalion and the Flying Mount Battalion spoke one after the other.

“The Cooling Formation of the Red Flame Battalion was modified without the troop’s permission. Otherwise, it couldn’t have had such a great power. This is a serious violation of the troop’s regulations. It’s a capital crime!”

“If we had been in the combined formation with you, we would have been killed because of the Red Flame Battalion.”

“And now, Jiang Chen and this captive are so close. What other proof do we need?”

Numerous looks were cast at Jiang Chen and Han Siming.

“Han Siming is a good friend of mine from the Dragon Field. The Dragon Rebel Army invaded the Realm of Nine Heavens while they were arresting people everywhere for their army. I had no other way to escape but to go to the Realm of Milky to join the Flying Dragon Dynasty. The same happened to my friend. Of course, it was against his will that he joined the Dragon Rebel Army,” Jiang Chen said in a cold tone.

“I don’t care what excuses you have. Anyway, he serves in the Dragon Rebel Army, and you work for the dynasty. If you want to prove your innocence, kill him.”

It was impossible for the commander of the North Mansion Battalion to be persuaded by Jiang Chen’s explanation.

“He’s my captive. I have my own way of dealing with captives. You’re only a coward who wants to take credit for the work of others. How dare you tell me what to do? You’re only a deserter. How dare you speak publicly?” Jiang Chen said icily.

A cold look flashed in the eyes of the commander of the North Mansion Battalion. Soon, he said again, “Uh-huh, you must feel guilty. That’s why you tried to shift the topic. Collaborating with the captive is definitely a capital crime.”

“I trust Jiang Chen. If he was a spy of the Dragon Rebel Army, he would have made a terrible one. He made the Dragon Rebel Army suffer a great loss, and he exposed his identity for such a trivial thing?” said Zhao Wenhao.

Many people nodded at what he had said. They had all witnessed what Jiang Chen had done for the troop.

Even the neutral Shadow Pursuing Troop came forward to speak for Jiang Chen. “I trust the Red Flame Battalion. What they’ll do with the captives has nothing to do with the North Mansion Battalion.” And the guy who had spoken was Zhang Tianyi.

If the talented guy who had lost to Jiang Chen during his service for the Third Legion spoke up for the latter, it must have been convincing.

“North Mansion, Flying Mount, you’ve gone beyond your authority,” the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop said coldly.

The Shadow Pursuing Troop didn’t like the Tiger Battle Group at all.

The commander of the Tiger Troop had noticed that and had actually been looking for a way to make up for it.

“Let’s forget about the captives for the moment. I’m more curious about the Cooling Formation!” The commander of the Tiger Troop expressed his biggest doubt after thinking.

The performance of the Red Flame Battalion had been extremely surprising, not normal at all.

Qiu Yan was about to speak, but the commander of the Tiger Troop cut in. He said in a serious tone, “I don’t want to listen to any explanations. I only have one question—did you or did you not modify the Cooling Formation without the troop’s permission?”

It was a vicious question. According to the military rules, if the answer was affirmative, the Red Flame Battalion would be in big trouble.

As a deserter, although the Red Flame Battalion wasn’t really his enemy anymore, he still wanted to discredit them.

If the Red Flame Battalion were really spies of the enemy, his guilt as a deserter would be relieved, too.

“No. I didn’t modify the Cooling Formation. The Cooling Formation is still the same as before,” Jiang Chen said.

“How do you explain its power then?” the commander of the North Mansion Battalion said in a sarcastic tone.

Smiling coldly, Jiang Chen said, “You see a rich man walking on the street, and you go up to him to tell him that he shouldn’t be so rich, that he has to prove he earned his money in a legal way. If you do that, you’ll be beaten to death.

“Unless you have solid proof, don’t make me sick with your ignorance.”

He not only spoke to the North Mansion Battalion and the Flying Mount Battalion, but to the Tiger Troop as well.

The commander of the Tiger Troop said, “All right. Let’s combine the formations then. The Holy Arrow Battalion and the Red Flame Battalion will combine their formations. If no problems arise, I’ll shut up. But if there are any problems, don’t blame me for anything.”

Zhao Wenhao nodded at Jiang Chen, expecting him to agree.

“Sure thing.”

Jiang Chen was very confident. These people were undoubtedly courting death challenging him on tactical formations.

Then the Holy Arrow Battalion and the Red Flame Battalion combined their formations successfully, even perfectly. The arrows they shot carried violent flames.

In this way, the three commanders of the Tiger Battle Group all grew distressed.

“It’s time to end this farce. I’ll report your ‘heroic’ behavior to the higher-ups,” the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop said to the commander of the Tiger Troop.

“Huh.”

The commander of the Tiger Troop wasn’t happy with it, but he could do nothing to stop his colleague.

“No, it hasn’t ended.”

To people’s surprise, Jiang Chen, who in their opinions should have been relieved, still looked serious. His look was stern and emotionless.

“What do you want?” the commander of the North Mansion Battalion said unhappily. The commander of the Tiger Troop was unhappy, too.

“The North Mansion Battalion and Flying Mount Battalion committed a big crime. You’re a blight on the whole troop. You’re standing here without any guilt after you escaped…”

“Jiang Chen.” The commander of the Tiger Troop was very unhappy.

“Shut up! Don’t think you’re all right just because I haven’t said anything about you. Tigers symbolize courage. Your troop is supposed to be a strong troop formed by brave men, but it’s been ruined by a pig like you.” Jiang Chen’s word surprised everyone. He had even had the nerve to reproach the commander of the Tiger Troop, and in such a serious way.
