"Didn't Grand Commander say before that if Liu steel can rush back to Yi City, he would hand over the command of the Red Dragon Token and Yi City to him?" As Commander Wang spoke, he took out the Red Dragon Token from his bosom and held it like a sacred object.
When the various commanders saw the Red Dragon Token, they could not help but be shocked. Previously, when Liu Cheng said that he would give the Red Dragon Token to Bai Yuhao, because the situation was urgent, the commanders did not manage to react and only after they had safely returned to the Yi City did they remember that Liu Cheng had actually given such an important Red Dragon Token to Bai Yuhao. They were extremely surprised.
At the same time, it was also a symbol of status. In the entire Red Dragon Legion, other than Grand Commander, only Vice Commander Liu Yunxuan owned the Red Dragon Token, so if Liu Cheng wanted to give the Red Dragon Token to Bai Yuhao, it would be equivalent to giving a heavy responsibility to Bai Yuhao.
However, it was precisely because of this that the commanders were extremely baffled.
"Didn't this Bai Yuhao just get removed from his position by Grand Commander, and relegated back to Logistics Battalion? But, why would Grand Commander give the authority of Red Dragon Token and Yi City to Bai Yuhao? " In next to no time, a commander appeared.
All the commanders looked at each other in dismay. No one knew why Liu Cheng would make such a contradictory decision. Of course, they didn't know that the Red Dragon Token was already Bai Yuhao's. It was just that after Liu Yunxuan's accident, Liu Cheng had taken back the Red Dragon Token because he wronged Bai Yuhao.
"That Bai Yuhao still hasn't appeared. I think he is probably a coward. Hmph, I really don't know what Grand Commander is thinking when he said that … " Amongst the commanders, there was also Zhao Zhaofeng who had a deep enmity with Bai Yuhao. Hearing that Liu Cheng had actually handed over the Red Dragon Token to Bai Yuhao and even had Bai Yuhao command the Yi City and defend the army, their hearts were naturally unbalanced.
Amongst all of the commanders, only Ma Lan knew the reason why, but Bai Yuhao still hadn't appeared. This made her extremely worried, because the thirty thousand strong army from Woodgod Kingdom was about to reach the city gates.
"That Bai Yuhao will definitely not come." "I think we should choose one of the four people, Commander Wang, Commander Rui, Commander Li, and Commander Lin, Elite Cavalry Commander, to command the garrison." A commander of the Thousand Horsemen suggested.
"I think we should just leave it to Commander Wang. If not, Grand Commander would not hand the Red Dragon Token over to Commander Wang. This probably means that if Bai Yuhao does not come, Commander Wang will be the commander of the defense. " Zhou Tie immediately said.
"I can't do that. If we're going to talk about having the ability and the experience to lead the garrison, then Commander Rui is the only one …" Commander Wang hurriedly waved his hands and said as if he had received a hot potato.
"Me? Last time, when the Woodgod Kingdom army was fighting to the third stage, a traitor was revealed, and his Jiatian Pass was almost lost. I think it would be better to let Commander Lin lead the way, are the Yi City and base camp guards always under Commander Lin's responsibility? " Commander Rui didn't seem to want to take on this task either.
"Don't joke around, with my little ability to command, I'm not even comparable to Commander Li!" Commander Lin had an awkward expression as well.
"Among the four of us, Elite Cavalry Commander, I have the least experience. Even the three of you are so modest, let alone me." Commander Li even rejected immediately.
The four Elite Cavalry Commander and the rest obviously did not want to accept the command of the Yi City army. After all, the Woodgod Kingdom army's thirty thousand strong army was way stronger than the Yi City army's command, so it would not be easy for them to defend the Yi City. If they were to accept the command and were unable to defend it in the end, then they would definitely be condemned as a sinner throughout the ages. They only sat in Elite Cavalry Commander's position after twenty to thirty years, so they naturally didn't want to lose their jobs because of some mistake. And obviously, they all felt that if it wasn't for Liu Cheng overseeing it this time, the Yi City would definitely be lost. Hence, they didn't dare to bear this responsibility.
Seeing that none of the four Elite Cavalry Commander's wanted to take over the command, Ma Lan's face showed anger. At this time, these people were still trying to shirk their responsibilities and shunning each other.
If even the four Elite Cavalry Commander were in such a state, there was no need to even mention the rest of the Thousand Cavalry Leaders.
"Since the four Elite Cavalry Commander are not willing to take over the command of the Yi City, then let me lead." Ma Lan's gaze was resolute as she immediately stood up and spoke in an astonishing and charming voice.
When the commanders heard this, they were stunned because they never thought that Ma Lan would actually stand up to receive such a hot potato. This courage was extraordinary.
However, Ma Lan was the youngest of all the commanders present and also the most inexperienced. If she took over the command of the Yi City, it would undoubtedly be like slapping the four Elite Cavalry Commander's face.
"I think we should wait a little longer. Maybe Bai Yuhao is already on his way." At this moment, Commander Wang also had a look of awkwardness as he found an excuse to explain.
They all felt that it was impossible for Ma Lan to take over the commanding authority. Firstly, it was because Ma Lan was too inexperienced, and secondly, Ma Lan was also a woman, so this small battle was not bad, but how could they let Ma Lan take over the commanding authority in this kind of war that involved the success or failure of Red Dragon Legion and honor. If Liu Cheng knew about this, the four of them would not be able to finish.
"Commander Ma, it's fine as long as you have this intention. However, with your ability, it's better for you to not be too overconfident." Elite Cavalry Commander's Commander Lin immediately taunted him.
The other commanders also whispered to each other as they all thought that Ma Lan wasn't suitable for this task.
"You all …" Upon seeing this, Ma Lan was so angered that her beautiful eyes widened. She immediately flung her body forward.
When it was night, three kilometers away from the city, a long dragon-like flame suddenly snaked and flowed. The black mass of countless figures that were like a torrent swiftly headed towards the direction of the Yi City under the contrast of the light of the fire.
Upon seeing this, the guards on the walls of the southern gate of Yi City were startled, they immediately lit their beacons, and rushed back to their headquarters. "When the sentries on the tower of the base saw the beacon fire on the walls of the south gate, they immediately went to the council chamber to inform them.
When the commanders who had been staying in the chamber heard that the enemy had arrived, they all revealed a sullen expression. It was about time, but they exchanged a few glances, as if none of them wanted to step out first.
At this moment, a guard ran in anxiously and called out, "Fellow commanders, Commander Ma has gathered five thousand men and horses and is moving towards the south gate. It seems that he is going out of the city to meet the enemy …"
When the various commanders heard this, their expressions all changed. This Ma Lan actually ignored the military discipline and privately led her troops to meet the enemy at this moment …
