Those who dared to call themselves "general" in the military camp were only those who were deputy generals and above.
Lieutenant General Cao Jianda had appeared at some point. He was one of the eight major lieutenant generals and one of the nine major generals in the military. His words had absolute power and no one dared to go against him.
"Why aren't you kneeling down and saluting General Cao?" The deputy general beside Cao Jianda shouted at the people around him.
"Greetings, General Cao!" Scattered people knelt down and saluted.
These people belonged to the other military camps, but none of the Death Legion's people knelt down. Their faces were full of disdain and they even turned their faces away and pretended not to see anything.
The deputy general was extremely annoyed. "Are you rebelling? Hurry up and kneel down! "
The Death Legion's people were still indifferent.
Who were they?
They were the Death Legion's people. They were basically sent here to be the vanguard because they committed serious crimes. After they entered the Death Legion, they never thought of leaving this place alive. Why would they be afraid of offending people?
They were already treated differently from the other military camps, so why would they care about the military's rules?
They would rather kneel to their own regiment's commander, deputy commander, or even commander than to salute anyone outside their regiment. These were the soldiers of the Death Legion.
The deputy general was really angry. Just as he was about to speak again, the Rose of Death glared at him. He instantly felt a formless killing intent entangling him, causing him to shrink back and not dare to utter another word.
"This is the Death Legion. I have the final say. Yang Wu is the deputy commander!" The Rose of Death looked directly at Cao Jianda with a domineering gaze.
In the entire military camp, there was no one else other than the Rose of Death who would respond so domineeringly to a lieutenant general.
Cao Jianda showed a trace of dissatisfaction. "Rose of Death, don't forget that you're also a member of the military. You must absolutely obey orders."
"Lieutenant General Cao, you still can't order me around." The Rose of Death responded faintly. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Unless you can ask the grand general for orders."
In the entire military camp, the Rose of Death would only listen to the highest marshal. She could ignore everyone else. This was the Death Legion's principle all along.
However, the Marshal usually had a laissez-faire attitude towards the Death Legion. As long as they were killing enemies for the army, they could do whatever they wanted.
Cao Jianda's face turned even uglier. He pointed at Yang Wu and said, "This kid offended a noble. If you know what's good for you, let him go with me. You can't protect him, and you'll get yourself into trouble."
"No matter who he offended, the fact that he wasn't directly executed proves that he didn't deserve to die. He has already atoned for his crimes with his own abilities. Don't tell me that you still want to erase these merits and forcibly convict him of a crime? If that's the case, what's the point of having our Death Legion? You might as well kill us all! " The Rose of Death's reaction was extremely intense. She walked towards Cao Jianda step by step and released her aura, making it difficult for the people around her to breathe.
"You … You've broken through to the advanced Earth Sea Realm!" Cao Jianda couldn't help but cry out when he sensed the Rose of Death's aura.
The Earth Sea Realm was commonly known as the King Realm. From the Dantian to the Earth Sea, one could truly become a fish leaping over the dragon gate and becoming a person above all others.
"I've only broken through a few days ago. Would Lieutenant General Cao like to experience it?" the Rose of Death replied indifferently.
This woman was truly too domineering. She even dared to directly challenge a lieutenant general.
It was also because of this that the Death Legion didn't dare to disobey her in the slightest. Seeing her protect Yang Wu so much, they felt that it wasn't a loss to follow such a commander.
In the past, Yang Wu had a lot of resentment towards the Rose of Death. He felt that she was a woman who bit the hand that fed her. But now, he felt that she was much cuter. He muttered in his heart, "I originally wanted to be stronger than you one day and teach you a lesson. But now that I think about it, I'll spare you this time. If you dare to bully me again, I'll definitely smack your butt in the future."
If others knew what Yang Wu was thinking, they would probably faint from fright.
He even dared to touch the butt of this queen who didn't even place a lieutenant general in his eyes. He was simply tired of living.
"Good, very good. I'll report this matter to the general. Yang Wu definitely won't become the vice commander of the Death Legion." Cao Jianda naturally didn't dare to challenge the Rose of Death unless he was tired of living.
When the Rose of Death was in the intermediate realm, she dared to exchange blows with the general. Now that she had broken through to the advanced realm, her combat strength wasn't much inferior to the general's. Why would he ask for a snub?
This was a woman who was known as the second Death War King. With her talent, she might even have a chance to surpass the original Death War King. If that was the case, the situation in Great Xia would be affected.
Cao Jianda couldn't argue with the Rose of Death. He could only turn around and leave with his men. However, Yang Wu still didn't understand what was going on. He asked, "That whatever general, do we have a grudge?"
Originally, Yang Wu was a good youth who respected the old and loved the young. However, since the other party didn't respect him, he didn't need to respect them either. That was why he asked such a rude question.
"How dare you address General Cao like that!" The deputy general beside Cao Jianda reprimanded him once again.
"He wants to take away my position as vice commander and even wants to kill me. What else do I not dare to do?" Yang Wu replied indifferently.
"You're rebelling …" The deputy general wanted to shout again, but Cao Jianda gestured to stop him. Then, Cao Jianda said to Yang Wu, "There's no deep hatred. It's just that you injured my son."
After speaking, Cao Jianda turned around and left with his men.
Everything was on the table. He, a dignified lieutenant general, was going against Yang Wu to avenge his son. Who would dare to say anything when he was clearly using his position to avenge a private grudge?
This was the terrifying part of power.
"There's no justice in this world. I beat up the young and now the old comes. Looks like I have to work harder. One day, I'll beat you up too!" Yang Wu said fearlessly.
Many of the Death Legion members couldn't help but secretly give Yang Wu a thumbs up.
The Rose of Death had enough strength to not be afraid of Cao Jianda, but Yang Wu probably didn't have such strength yet. Yet, he still dared to clamor. He was truly a role model for their generation.
Who knew that Yang Wu's heart wasn't calm at all?
He'd offended a noble and was sent to the border as a prison slave. Now that he'd just made some progress, he was being bullied by a dignified lieutenant general. This really made things difficult for him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He wasn't willing to let his fate be manipulated by these people like this!
"I'm still too weak. I want to become stronger!" Yang Wu was incomparably eager to improve. If he could become a king, he'd have the confidence to clamor with the Rose of Death. Then, what was there for him to be afraid of?
Cao Jianda, who hadn't gone far, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles made cracking sounds. Dense killing intent permeated the air, and the people around him all shivered. No one dared to make the slightest sound.
"This brat must be killed!" Cao Jianda added Yang Wu to his kill list and shouted.
"Disperse. Remember, in the future, Yang Wu's orders are equivalent to this commander's orders!" The Rose of Death announced again.
"Yes, Leader!" Everyone replied in unison, and then dispersed one after another.
Soon, only Yang Wu and those who cared about him were left on the challenge stage.
Wan Lanxin, Little Man, and Nan Runan all wanted to go up and talk to Yang Wu. Who knew that the Rose of Death would say to Yang Wu, "Follow me!"
Then, she dashed over and lifted Yang Wu up. Then, she flew away from the scene with him in front of everyone.
When the cold-faced adjutant saw this scene, an extremely complicated expression surfaced in his cold eyes.
This wasn't the first time Yang Wu was carried away by the Rose of Death. This feeling of flying no longer made him afraid. Instead, it made him even more excited and yearned for it. He thought to himself, "Once I reach the Earth Sea Realm and become a ruler, I can condense profound wings and fly in the air. This is the symbol of a true expert!"
Soon, the Rose of Death brought Yang Wu to a solitary peak.
This solitary peak occupied an area and was quite a distance away from the other peaks. It didn't have lush trees and only a small amount of weeds stubbornly grew. It appeared so bleak and lonely.
From here, one could overlook everything in the Death Legion and also see the entrance to the battlefield. It was the best place to stand guard.
The Rose of Death put Yang Wu down with her back facing him. She gazed at the battlefield passage and didn't speak for a long time.
Yang Wu also didn't speak. He felt the gusts of wind on the mountain peak and looked at the surrounding scenery. The unhappiness in his heart seemed to quickly disappear.
After an unknown amount of time, the Rose of Death finally spoke, "You shouldn't have said those words."
"We've already shed all pretense of cordiality. Why should I be polite with him?" Yang Wu asked in return.
"You have to learn to be patient and challenge him when you have enough strength. Otherwise, you'll die even faster," the Rose of Death said indifferently.
"Perhaps you're right, but he's about to chop my neck with a blade and I'm not allowed to curse back. Even if I die, I won't be happy." Yang Wu smiled wryly and then asked in return, "Then why are you protecting me? Although you're powerful, it's not worth offending a lieutenant general for me. "
The Rose of Death didn't answer because she didn't know how to.
Indeed, everything she was doing to Yang Wu was extremely abnormal. This wasn't her style at all. Even if Yang Wu had saved her before, it wasn't enough for her to treat him like this.
Yang Wu looked at the Rose of Death's slender and plump back. His courage suddenly rose and he directly hugged her slender waist in his arms. With a gentle voice, he said, "You like me, right?"
If someone saw this scene, they would think that Yang Wu was crazy. This was an act of seeking death.
The Rose of Death was a poisonous rose with thorns. Whoever touched it would die. There were many precedents in the military.
In the end, Yang Wu suffered a tragedy!
