Chapter 457 - 451 Squalid in the Military
Sect Leader Guo Qijing gave Ye Zhen two options.
The first option was to make Ye Zhen one of the three Deputy Marshals of the Eastern Expedition. He could be a figurehead or hold a real post, and any position could be given to Ye Zhen if he wished.
Whether it was escorting supplies, gathering intelligence, personally commanding an army of one hundred thousand, or charging into battle, anything was possible if Ye Zhen wished.
The second option was to casually hold the title of Special Envoy Military Officer, free from obedience, only needing to mobilize the War Soul Blood Flag to coordinate with the army at the appropriate time.
Every man harbors a dream of blood-hot heroics and military expeditions, and Ye Zhen was no exception.
Under normal circumstances, most people would choose the first option because commanding an army of one hundred thousand in battle is an incredible feat.
However, after some thought, Ye Zhen gave up on the first option.
Should he command a large army, there would be basically no tactics involved. Firstly, Ye Zhen was not good at commanding, and secondly, once Ye Zhen personally charged forward, any enemy commander would be doomed, unless their commander was someone like the Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect from the Sword Origin Empire.
If that were the case, it would be exceedingly boring.
Of course, what’s most important is that taking up the post of Deputy Marshal would mean Ye Zhen would be tied down in the military camp, deprived of his freedom.
