“They have successfully defended Lunan City.”

This senior officer was the highest ranking officer who was overall in charge of all the troops in the capital and its surrounding areas, the capital’s Supreme Commander Yao Xianming!

If the lords of the various military zones throughout the country were like feudal lords with their own troops, he would be the head of the imperial troops guarding the capital and its surrounding areas. In other words, he was the person in charge of the security of the capital and its surrounding areas.

At the same time, once any of the country’s major military zones fell, he had the authority to mobilize the full strength of the troops from the capital and the other military zones to go to the rescue.

Having just reported the news from the Gamma Military Zone to the top brass of Flame Country, Yao Xianming was still in a state of bewilderment.

After receiving news that Lunan City was about to fall, the next thing he knew, news arrived saying the city had been successfully defended. Such drastic changes within such a short time was a bit hard for him to digest.

“Someone was able to save a city on the verge of falling within such a short period of time. I would like to meet this character.” Yao Xianming’s eyes revealed a look of interest.

In the Gamma Military Zone’s reply, the content focused heavily on Lu Yu’s contribution. This was the first time Yao Xianming encountered a military lord of a military zone promoting one of his own subordinates so vehemently. At the same time, he was also shocked that this guy Lu Yu was able to accomplish the impossible.

“This…” Ji Xi was also stunned after reading this document. Her brain was confused for a while.

This guy was just a Great Grand Master. Did he really have the ability to accomplish such a task?

Ji Xi, who had a noble status, was still very respectful to Yao Xianming. She said, “Commander Yao, since the crisis has been averted, do we still go?”

“Of course! We will still go there. There are many things that I want to verify for myself. We must not overlook anything.” Yao Xianming replied nonchalantly.

Immediately, Yao Xianming and Ji Xi set off and rushed to the Gamma Military Zone.

Meanwhile, on the Ying family’s side, Ying Qu Feng and the black-clad woman did not return to the family after a long time and no matter what means the

Ying family used, they could not get in touch with them. The great elder of the Ying family, Ying Wei, appeared increasingly more gloomy.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, he had a vague guess that something bad must have happened to Ying Qu Feng and the black-clad woman.

“Great Elder, your wishes have been executed accordingly. Under my secret arrangements, Lu Yu’s son and daughter have absolutely no chance of passing the college entrance exam and getting into the martial arts university.”

Soon, a clansman of the Ying Family brought somewhat more positive news.

Ying Wei nodded his head in satisfaction, and then he said in a low voice, “That

Lu Yu has another woman. Arrange an accident for this woman, so that she will disappear completely from this world.”

“Yes, Sir!” The Ying family’s clansman bowed deeply before turning around to leave.

At the Gamma Military Zone, the various reparation works in the aftermath had entered the final phase. At this moment, Song Yu applied for leave which was approved by Xu Qingguo,

A day later, Xu Qingguo prepared to present the rewards based on merit, and held a grand ceremony. All the cultivators who had participated in the battle to protect Lunan City and put up an outstanding performance were present.

Xu Qingguo held the name list and read out each name in succession. With every name mentioned, the corresponding cultivators trembled slightly, overwhelmed with emotions.

This was particularly evident with Zhang Xilai, who was weeping openly. He refused the reward given by Xu Guoqing on the spot and only accepted a medal, saying that this was what he should do. The strength of his emotions and the depth of his sincerity moved Xu Qingguo deeply.

Admittedly, within the current federal government, there were many people who enjoyed the generous cultivation resources and grew stronger step by step, only to hide behind and let the cultivators at the bottom level fight with the Fearsome Beasts. These were selfish, self-serving people who only cared for their own power.

However, there were also selfless heroes like Zhang Xilai, who were prepared to sacrifice their lives. It was precisely because of them that humankind could continue to survive.

Eventually, Xu Qingguo appointed Zhang Xilai to a vacant post of battalion deputy captain, which granted him access to many benefits.

Zhang Wu also fought bravely in this battle. Right now, a medal was hanging on his chest. Though his contributions paled in comparison with the others, he still held his head up high, feeling very proud and deeply honored.

“The person who has contributed the most to the defense of the city is none other than Lu Yu. I hereby grant Lu Yu 3000 kgs of spiritual energy ore. I further promote him to be Deputy Major General of the Gamma Military Zone, with a salary of 3 million federal dollars.”

Lu Yu’s reward was presented. The whole hall went silent at once as looks of bewilderment flashed across the spectators’ faces. Lu Yu’s heart skipped a beat, but he accepted the reward without any expression.

After the ceremony, Lu Yu returned to the 4th Battalion. After the battle of defending the city, everyone in the 4th Battalion was completely won over by Lu Yu, and they looked up to him with respect and reverence.

“Captain Lu.” Niu Xianzu gave a salute. His tone no longer contained the previous indignation. He then said, “I have offended you many times in the past. In the future, if you need anything, just issue me your order and I will definitely carry it out, even if it means risking my life. If I so much as frown while carrying out my mission, I am not considered a real man.”

Lu Yu laughed softly, and cast aside all the previous unpleasant things. This guy Niu Xianzu was quite a man of honor and worth making friends with.

“Captain Lu, I think the reward this time is unfair. You have clearly made the greatest contribution, yet they only awarded you the post of a deputy major general. With your ability, you can definitely be a full major general.”

After chatting some more, Niu Xianzu also poured his heart out completely. He kept patting his chest and voicing his displeasure deep in his heart, feeling that a great injustice had been committed against Lu Yu.

A deputy major general was just a position in name, and was not as real and dependable as the post of a battalion captain.

However, Lu Yu simply laughed and said, “Then you do not understand the intricacies. It is not the Military Lord being unfair to me, but my contribution is too great. He dared not reward me too much since this reward rightfully should come from the federal government.”

“Looking at the time, it won’t take long for someone from the federal government to show up.”

If it was just an ordinary merit, the Gamma Military Zone could simply present the reward internally. There was no problem with that. However, Lu Yu’s merit was really too big. If the military zone gave their own generous reward, where would that leave the federal government?

Although in this post-apocalyptic era of Spiritual Energy Renaissance, the various major military zones operated like a feudal lord system and possessed a high degree of autonomy, on paper, they were still under the jurisdiction of the federal government.

Xu Qingguo, who was the head of the military zone, could not possibly make this kind of muddle-headed mistake at such a critical juncture.

Just as Lu Yu was giving instructions to Li Tieniu to take Zhang Wu into his platoon and train him up well, a message was delivered. The representatives from the capital had arrived. The identity of the visitor was not insignificant. He was the capital’s Supreme Commander Yao Xianming.

Niu Xianzu, who was still stuck in a fog of confusion earlier, suddenly widened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

Lu Yu hit the nail right on the head!

This guy Yao Xianming was a very big shot. He was not only in command of all the troops in the capital, he was also a War Demigod! Someone with this sort of stature was bound to be taken very seriously when he visited any of the military zones.

Immediately, Xu Qingguo welcomed the guest with the highest protocol. At the same time, he also sent someone to summon Lu Yu..
