Chapter 871 In Trouble
They found themselves in a precarious situation.
Upon observing the scene unfolding before them, some of the perceptive scions of the wealthy immediately grasped the gravity of the situation. A sense of unease and fear washed over them. Accompanied by Ding Xian, the members of the Martial Arts Alliance had all been brought to this place. This was not a positive sign.
It seemed that they had stirred up a hornet's nest and were now facing the consequences.
As they witnessed batch after batch of wealthy scions being escorted over and disrespectfully discarded, they couldn't help but feel anxious about what awaited them.
"You better release us. Otherwise, I will make sure you understand the magnitude of the offense you have committed."
"That's right. The power I possess is beyond your imagination, soldiers. Those who know what's good for them should release me immediately and offer their apologies."
Boom!
Just as they were shouting, several cars with military license plates drove into the courtyard.
Following closely behind were gang leaders, each donning military uniforms and adorned with golden stars on their shoulders. They hastily exited the cars one after another. "Is that Chief Chen from the Armed Forces Department?"
"And there is Major General Wang from the Yenching Military Theater, Principal Zhang from Yenching Military Academy, and Minister Liu."
"And finally, is that Commander Yang Jingyu from the Yenching Military Theater?"
The wealthy scions were dumbfounded. Their eyes widened.
There were so many military gang leaders, all of whom were, at the very least, of the rank of Major General. Even the leader of the Yenching Military Theater, Yang Jingyu, was present.
The spoiled wealthy scions, who had been flaunting their backgrounds and acting arrogantly, now felt like mice encountering a cat. They didn't dare to be the least bit arrogant as they nervously stood to the side.
The next moment, Yang Jingyu approached Chu Feng and saluted smartly. "I am Yang Jingyu, reporting to Dragon Lord."
"Greetings to Dragon Lord." Then, all the military gang leaders present saluted in unison, creating a grand scene.
"He is Dragon Lord? The God of War from Dragon Soul who defeated the Xi Xia army?"
The wealthy scions widened their eyes. Fear gripped their souls.
They wondered what grave crime they had committed to even alarm the God of War from Dragon Soul.
Most of them felt weak in the legs, trembling in fear. Some of the more timid ones even wet themselves and fell to the ground, their legs shaking uncontrollably.
Chen Fengxing and the other soldiers frowned, feeling disgust and contempt.
They didn't believe that these individuals were deserving of the military achievements and honors earned by the soldiers of the Xi Ye Dragon Soul. It was simply an insult to them.
Chu Feng glanced at Yang Jingyu and the other generals as he casually asked, "Do you all know why I called you here?"
"Yes."
Yang Jingyu removed his military cap and sincerely lowered his head, admitting his mistake as he said, "Recently, someone took advantage of their position and manipulated the list of meritorious soldiers in the XiXia Battle, replacing names and falsely claiming credit.
"This not only insults the soldiers who bravely fought on the border but also humiliates our entire
military system. As the
highest ranking general in the Yenching Military Theater, I cannot evade responsibility for such a shocking incident that occurred during my tenure.
"I voluntarily demote myself by one rank and accept one month of confinement. All officers involved in this matter will be demoted by three ranks. As for those involved in serious offenses like Ding Xian, they will be suspended pending investigation.
"All those who falsely claimed credit will be sentenced to three years in prison and blacklisted. They will never be employed in the military or political sectors." Yang Jingyu's actions were swift and decisive, leaving no room for doubt.
