Peace Order-Chapter 1495 - 2: The Title of Divine General Will Ultimately Change
"Then what am I?!"
"If it weren’t for the title [Son of Taiping Duke], how could he rally troops under heaven? Why would those renowned generals recognize him?! Why would the contemporary Red Emperor grant him a title of marquis!"
"If not for being the son of Taiping Duke, how could he have reached this point?"
"If not for being the son of Taiping Duke!"
His heart boiled over with a dissatisfaction that almost reached its peak: "Why would Tower Master Xue have affection for him?!"
"If it weren’t for the title of the son of Taiping Duke, how could he possibly come into contact with Tower Master Xue? Could it be that a peerless divine creature like Tower Master Xue would be moved by a mere commoner?!"
He held his head, half-drunk, tilting it up, faintly seeing the times of his youth when his parents’ arms crossed to form a shelter from wind, snow, and blades, an arrow piercing through his mother’s heart, and blood dripping onto his face.
Mother’s heart stopped beating.
Only then did my heart have a chance to continue beating.
But, but...
"If only I remained a poor man and pharmacist like before, picking herbs every day, how could I venture into the world, earn the title of lord, or even win the affection of someone like Tower Master Xue as a mere poor pharmacist?"
He seemed to see a child at four years old, capable of wielding a sword weighing seven or eight pounds and walking over twenty miles, that child seemingly dragging a sword, with eyes filled with a somber gaze, crossing the corpses of his parents staring at himself.
That child dared to grip the sword tightly and look at me with such eyes!
Li Xingyi, in a daze, threw the wine jar in his hand, shattering the child’s shadow, shouting: "Get lost, get lost, I am not the son of some farmer and pharmacist, no, my father is Taiping Duke, is a hereditary lord!"
"I am the son of Taiping Duke!"
"Without you, these accomplishments, this territory, this fame, and honor would all be mine!"
"Mine, all mine!!"
"You are the thief, you are the thief!"
Li Xingyi’s expression twisted, the changes in his heart eventually stirring up a trace of unwillingness, causing his heart and expression to gradually change.
Meanwhile, Yue Pengwu also mentioned to Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong: "That Li Xingyi has contributed significantly to the unity of the morale of these two Taiping Armies, he should be credited for his toil and merit, yet I gradually feel that the man harbors ill intentions in his heart, possibly posing a threat."
"Both of you should be somewhat cautious."
Xue Tianxing sighed and said, "I understand."
"It’s just, after all, he was raised in the military, always functioning as the son of Taiping Duke, guiding the army’s morale. To some extent, he directed the spies of Chen Country and Ying Country during the ten years of the young master’s stay in Chen Country, contributing to it."
"Unless it’s too much, I hope he can have a good life."
Yue Pengwu said, "Certainly."
After the three discussed the choice of strategy, not long after, someone hurried over, holding a scroll, and said: "Generals, this is intelligence from Changfeng Building, apart from some logistics items, there’s also this!"
He unfurled the scroll in his hand, Yuan Shitong’s eyes lit up, clapping his hands and laughing, saying:
"Haha, it’s the [Divine General List]!"
"After the great battle in the Central Plains, a long time has passed, perhaps The World’s First Building felt there would be no more great battles, so they finally compiled this list, let’s drink to the achievements of heroes across the world!"
Unrolling the Divine General List, it was notably different this time.
Other than [The World’s First Building],
there were also contributions from intelligence forces like [Changfeng Building] and [Ghost Market].
The world is vast, and the Country of Ten Thousand Miles has precisely four, countless generals, yet barely a hundred could make it onto this list, all are fierce warriors, but their gazes quickly skimmed past the back, hardly lingering before landing in the top ten.
Because of the deaths, victories, and defeats of one divine general after another, the positions in the top ten have greatly changed compared to the past.
The tenth name is a very familiar one.
[Yue Pengwu] — Beloved general of Taiping Duke, Grand Marshal of the Yue Family Army, possessing the Dharma Form of the Golden Winged Great Peng, wielding the fateful Divine Weapon Li Quan Divine Spear, but in his prime, was harmed by Emperor Chen, his martial prowess greatly diminished, later engaged in a desperate battle with the Divine General Gao Xiang on the battlefield, his reputation impressive and formidable.
Regrettably, during the nearly three-year world war from Tianqi 11th year autumn to Tianqi 13th year autumn, he did not engage in battle, achieving little fame, thus standing in this position, what a pity, had he joined the Central Plains battle, it would not have been so.
Yue Pengwu appeared calm, but Xue Tianxing said: "What a pity, but it is merely temporary, Pengwu, this time you enter the world, let them know your capabilities!"
"At that time, you can soar straight into the skies!"
Yue Pengwu said, "Naturally."
Xue Tianxing burst into laughter: "Good kid, not holding back at all!" Amidst the laughter, continued reading. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The ninth position — Yuwen Lie of Ying
The eighth position — He Ruoqinhu of Ying
These two were originally famous generals of the era, but due to being unprepared for the sudden return of Li Guanyi, as well as the fierce battle from Formation Leader, Si Wei, and General Xue, they suffered a great defeat, Yuwen Lie losing an arm, He Ruoqinhu almost perpetually grievously injured.
Causing these divine generals, who originally could rank in the top five, to fall into such places, despite participating in numerous great battles in the Central Plains, almost falling out of the top ten, a pity, lamentable.
The seventh position is Mu Zhahe.
A trusted war general of the Great Khan of the Turkic, unmatched Divine Shooter, who contributed greatly to the unification of the Turkic, half of the Great Khan’s achievements should be credited to this divine general’s handiwork.
The sixth position — Mysterious Divine General.
Everyone looked puzzled.
