Yang Wu had been ambushed.
This matter wasn't considered a big deal within the death corps and didn't cause much of a stir.
The death corps meant that not many people cared about the life and death of the people here.
If this had been any other military camp, everyone would've already known about it and it would've escalated into a military operation. All forces would've been mobilized to get to the bottom of the matter.
Yang Wu didn't want to let this matter rest. The other party might be from the heavy armor camp. He needed an explanation.
Cao Qingguan, who had been beaten by him, was from the heavy armor camp.
Thus, Yang Wu directly found the cold-faced adjutant and handed the exploded corpse to him. "Adjutant, I was attacked by an assassin. I found this token on the assassin's body. Please help me get justice."
The cold-faced adjutant took the token and glanced at the corpse on the ground. He then waved his hand. "I understand. Take it out with you."
Yang Wu didn't listen to the cold-faced adjutant's words and said, "Adjutant, we're all from the same camp. As the saying goes, we're all bound together for good or ill. I hope you'll take this matter to heart. I suspect that someone is taking revenge with malice."
The cold-faced adjutant revealed a cold smile to Yang Wu. "Remember, we're the death corps. In the eyes of the higher-ups, we only have death. If you're not dead, then stay put and don't cause trouble."
This time, Yang Wu had nothing to say.
He wasn't stupid. The cold-faced adjutant's words were very clear. The death corps wasn't liked by anyone and no one cared whether they lived or died.
"I understand!" Yang Wu responded helplessly and left the tent with the headless corpse.
This time, Yang Wu directly went to find the Rose of Death. He didn't believe that the Rose of Death wouldn't care about this matter.
However, when he arrived at the Rose of Death's tent, he discovered that they weren't there. He could only return to his own tent.
At this time, Li Dazui was waiting in front of his tent. When he saw that Yang Wu had returned, he immediately knelt down and said gratefully, "Thank you Vice Commander Yang Wu for saving me."
After Li Dazui had taken the bone revival pill, his broken leg had completely healed. Moreover, he'd used the medicinal effects to treat the hidden injuries in his body. Not only had his strength returned to his peak state, but he also had the opportunity to break through to the peak of the general realm again. This was a grace to Li Dazui.
Yang Wu immediately went forward and helped Li Dazui up. "Vice Commander, you don't have to do this. We should take care of each other..."
"Li Dazui.................................... if........... Li..........................
The current him wasn't as crazy as before. Instead, he was quite clear-headed. It could be seen that he truly wanted to submit to Yang Wu.
"Haha, good. Let's fight side by side again!" Yang Wu said very happily.
Just like that, Yang Wu gained another capable assistant, Li Dazui. Deng Shuangmao, Huang Mogai, and Huang Mingying, who had previously been subdued, were also a force that couldn't be underestimated in the Death Legion.
… …
In a lieutenant general's tent, Cao Jianda wasn't asleep. Instead, he was walking around in his pajamas with an anxious look on his face.
Not long after, a voice sounded outside the tent. "General, the assassination failed."
"Trash!" Cao Jianda reprimanded in dissatisfaction.
The shadow outside the tent didn't dare to speak. He waited until Cao Jianda waved his hand again before he disappeared.
Cao Jianda sat on the couch and looked at the flickering candlelight. He muttered, "I heard that the kid has the Universal Item. I'm afraid I'm not the only one who knows about this. If we can't seize the Universal Item in advance, I'm afraid there will be more problems if we delay. It would be easier if we could use the Kings. It's a pity that the Rose of Death is watching closely.
… …
The night passed quickly. The sun didn't rise in the east. The sky was overcast, and cold winds blew from time to time. The beginning of winter had quietly arrived.
Yang Wu was like the sun. His entire body was suffused with dense energy. He didn't feel cold even though he was only wearing thin clothes. It could be seen how strong his body was.
Yang Wu gathered all his subordinates. He had decided to do something big today.
That was to complete the mission given to him by the Rose of Death and make the other commanders of the Death Legion listen to his command. Now that Li Dazui had surrendered and the rod demon had been dealt with by him, there were only eight people left. All of them were high-level Generals, and four of them were even top-level Generals. They each led different troops in the Death Legion. It wouldn't be easy to make them submit.
"I called you here today to ask you to do something. I want to challenge the other deputy commanders at the same time. Let them meet on the challenge platform in two days. This is the mission given to me by the commander. They must come." Yang Wu said solemnly to all his subordinates.
"Commander, you … you're not serious, are you?" Deng Shuangmao asked with a shocked expression.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Yang Wu asked in return.
Deng Shuangmao quickly shook his head and said, "The other deputy commanders aren't easy to deal with. Commander, you have to be careful."
"Well, just do as I say. Try your best to deliver my letter of challenge to the other deputy commanders. I hope they won't be absent in two days." Yang Wu reminded again.
All his subordinates accepted the order and went to spread the news. As for the letter of challenge, it was delivered by Li Dazui, Deng Shuangmao, Huang Mogai, and Huang Mingying.
Yang Wu was prepared to defeat all these deputy commanders in one go and make them all submit to him. He wanted to complete the mission given to him by the Rose of Death as quickly as possible.
At the same time, he also wanted to test how strong his combat strength had become after reaching the General Realm.
After Yang Wu ordered people to spread the news, it immediately caused a disturbance in the Death Legion.
"Yang Wu is so arrogant that he wants to challenge all the deputy commanders. Is he crazy?"
"It seems that his victory on the challenge platform has made him dizzy. The combat strength of every commander in our Death Legion is not comparable to that of an ordinary commander. Yang Wu is digging his own grave."
"Maybe this is the order given to him by the commander and he has no choice but to carry it out."
"Could it be that Yang Wu wants to be the chief commander? This position has always been shouldered by the adjutant. "
"What an arrogant brat. Let's see how he'll be beaten to death in two days."
…
However, when the news spread, the higher-ups ordered that the battle between the young commander and the major general would be held in half a month. This was a grand event that happened once every five years, so the use of the challenge platform was temporarily suspended.
After this order was issued, Yang Wu's declaration of challenge instantly became a joke.
Yang Wu was also depressed. Originally, he wanted to challenge the other vice commanders on the challenge platform and earn some points while defeating them. Now, it was as if he was climbing a ladder. He felt as if he had just climbed up a ladder, and as soon as he stepped on it, he fell back down.
This made his challenge a laughingstock.
"If there are no merits, then there are no merits. The challenge will continue as usual. The challenge venue will be in the Death Legion's camp!" Yang Wu announced again.
Yang Wu did not care whether the deputy commanders would accept his challenge invitation or not. He had already arranged for people to clear out a space for the battlefield.
Yang Wu did not continue to pay attention to these trivial matters. He took his Bone Revitalization Pills and went to the back warehouse.
He planned to use one or two Bone Revitalization Pills to exchange for some merits. He needed to determine the value of the pills and see if he could find a new way out for himself.
He always felt that there were definitely many people in the army who did not want to let him have an easy time. He needed to have more capital to be able to contend with them.
When Yang Wu arrived at the back warehouse again, he found the old general from last time and took out a Bone Revitalization Pill. "How many merits can this Bone Revitalization Pill be exchanged for?"
The old general looked at the round pill in Yang Wu's hand and his old eyes immediately flashed with astonishment. Then, he snatched it and slowly examined it.
After a while, he exclaimed in surprise, "This quality, this color, this medicinal taste, it's actually so perfect. It can be called a top grade spirit pill!"
This time, the surrounding soldiers also noticed the pill in the old general's hand. Someone could not help but ask Yang Wu, "What's the use of this Bone Revitalization Pill?"
"It can heal broken bones and treat serious injuries!" Yang Wu answered decisively.
"That's a Spirit Level Healing Pill." The soldier exclaimed softly.
"Didn't you hear what that sir said? This is a top grade spirit pill. Who knows how many merits it will cost? If possible, exchange for one for self-defense. It's also a life!" Another person said from the side.
"Vice Commander Yang Wu, there aren't many of these pills. Do you really want to exchange them for merits?" Someone asked from the side.
"Yes, yes. Right now, I'm in urgent need of merits." Yang Wu casually answered.
At this time, the old general put down the work in his hand and said to Yang Wu, "Come, let's go to the side and talk."
Obviously, this old general did not want to discuss the matter of exchanging pills with Yang Wu in public.
Yang Wu did not mind. He followed the old general to a place where there was no one around to see what the other party had to say.
"Kid, do you know that the value of this pill is equivalent to a life? Do you really want to exchange it?" The old general asked Yang Wu like the previous person.
Yang Wu nodded and said, "As long as I have enough merits, I'll exchange it."
"Very good. This can be considered a top grade Bone Revitalizing Pill, but it's still only a Spirit Level Pill. I'll give you the highest price of Spirit Level Pills, thirty thousand merits." The old general stated his conditions.
"That's fine, but I have a condition. You can only exchange it if you agree to it." Yang Wu replied.
"Speak."
"In the future, when I exchange things, you have to give me the same price as the other battalions. You can't double it."
"That won't do. This is a rule set by the higher-ups. This old man can't do it."
"What if I have three more of these pills?"
"Even if you have ten, it won't change the fact."
… …
In the end, Yang Wu was unable to convince this old general. He could only exchange this pill and not take out the rest. He felt that he had to properly plan this matter. Perhaps he would have to wait for the Rose of Death to come back and discuss it with her. Perhaps she would have a way to solve this problem for him.
Yang Wu did not expect that this pill of his would cause a disturbance among the upper echelons of the army. At the same time, it also gave him some leverage to gain a foothold in the army.
