Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Seeking Common Ground Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Seeking Common Ground After all, despite his grandiloquent claims of going to rally reinforcents that day, what he did was no different from the Centurion; he just wanted to save his own skin and flee.
That must have been clear to the La Man as well.
But knowing is one thing, and understanding the importance of timing and situation is another.
Although the entire Eastern Army belongs to the Great General, the true local power at the rear defense is ng Yi. Otherwise, the La Man wouldn’t have spoken to the Great General in that manner just now.
Since he hadn’t exposed anything just before and now suddenly halted , how could I not be suspicious?
“Centurion, do you have anything to tell the Supervising Army Officer?” ng Yi looked at the La Man, full of caution.
“Supervisor ng may have misunderstood. I rely wish to express my gratitude,” the La Man replied with neither servility nor overbearance.
“Gratitude?”
“Yes, if Supervisor ng had not persuaded the Great General to co to this place, we might not have had the fortune we have today. All of this is thanks to Supervisor ng’s efforts in our behalf. In the future, the soldiers who co out of Death Valley will certainly look to Supervisor ng as their leader. Please don’t disdain us and do keep taking care of us.”
The La Man’s act of submission surprised ng Yi, who took a while to adjust his emotions before asking, “You harbor no resentnt toward ?”
“Why should I bear resentnt?” the La Man’s eyes were slightly perplexed.
ng Yi observed him for a while and, realizing he wasn’t feigning, said, “After all, I may have brought the reinforcents, but I was two days late and didn’t return at the first opportunity.”
With hands clasped together, the La Man sincerely responded, “Supervisor ng is being too serious. At such a ti, to have the Great General personally attend to the rear guard is already quite rare, let alone the fact that he brought so many troops and horses. I know all this is due to Supervisor ng’s efforts, so of course, I have to thank Supervisor ng.”
Having heard this, ng Yi finally let go of the doubts in his heart and simply nodded, “This fortune is yours. From now on, manage the Armory well and strive to make the transition from acting to official as soon as possible.”
Although ng Yi felt the La Man’s chances of getting the official appointnt were slim, since he was disabled in one leg, it was unlikely he would stay in the camp for long. Perhaps in ti, the Great General would indeed allow this group of the old, weak, sick, and disabled to be discharged and return to their fields.
However, this was not yet certain, and he could not speak definitively.
Since the La Man was interested in allying with him, there was no need for him to make an enemy.
ng Yi followed the La Man’s lead and cordially exchanged pleasantries with him, then signaled to the craftsn and soldiers here, indicating that they should recognize the La Man as their acting Centurion.
After helping the La Man take control of the situation, ng Yi then left.
It was only after achieving his goal that the La Man leisurely turned around.
At that mont, Bai Junjun once again witnessed the La Man’s strategy of advancing by retreating and was left speechless.
She had thought this La Man Uncle was a simple and honest person, never expecting him to be so adept at scheming.
The Armory’s disdain for the people from Death Valley was evident, even if their rank had been elevated. But in their hearts, they probably still looked down on them, and they might not have obeyed the La Man’s orders.
Now, the situation was different.
With Supervisor ng’s intervention, everyone naturally didn’t dare to openly disobey, and the La Man’s job beca much easier.
Bai Junjun once again realized the intensity of the ancient art of intrigue; she hadn’t expected even this military supply and rear defense location to be like this.
In their Apocalypse, such things barely existed; people relied on Combat Power to make their point. If there was disagreent, they’d settle it with a fight. Look at the H base – even the right to lead was won through combat, with no ti for such roundabout maneuvering.
She sighed, feeling that such a life was sowhat exhausting.
Li Wenli couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you know why we don’t bother with all these unnecessary things?”
