Chapter 1128

"Take good care of your health!" Marshal Xu said. "We will seriously consider your proposal."

Su Yang slaughtered the Tianxing Society members in the southeast until they cried for their fathers and mothers, making all other factions tremble under his "tyranny."

Five days after Mo Yunjian returned to Shengjing, Su Yang took the opportunity to visit Shengjing and met Mo Yunjian and Marshal Xu.

Marshal Xu told him that the Lianbang high-ranking officials were still deliberating his reward, and he should wait patiently—it might take a month, to be rewarded together with other soldiers who had distinguished themselves in battle.

Su Yang wasn't particularly eager about this.

The Lianbang's reward meant little to him.

Su Yang still believed in strength!

Fists!

Only strong fists are the true law.

Only with strength can one live better in this world.

And right now, for Su Yang, continuing to exterminate the Tianxing Society was more interesting.

A few days after Su Yang left, the Southeast Military Department completed its cleanup, compiled the battle merits from the campaign against the Beast Emperor, and submitted them to the General Military Department.

For every soldier under the Southeast Military Department, the department would write down the reward plan proposed by its high-ranking officials on the back of each soldier's merit record, then request approval from the General Military Department!

The Southeast Military Department also compiled the battle merits of the reinforcement troops from the East and South Military Departments, but did not mark any reward plans—how to reward them would be decided solely by the high-ranking officials of the East and South Military Departments; the Southeast Military Department could not interfere.

But the merit system was roughly the same, the calculation methods largely similar; any soldier who earned merit would receive rewards of comparable standards, regardless of which military department they belonged to.

Similarly, the elite troops supported by the General Military Department to the southeast were treated the same way.

The battle merits were all calculated; how to reward them would be decided solely by the General Military Department!

With this detailed report, the General Military Department began reviewing these battle merits.

The General Military Department usually directly approved the reward proposals from the Southeast Military Department, as they always respected the opinions of the high-ranking officials of each military department.

The East and South Military Departments would also submit their own reward proposals for their reinforcement troops to the General Military Department first.

When the Southeast Military Department submitted the total battle merits to the General Military Department, it had already included the East and South Military Departments' data—the General Military Department only needed to wait for their reports and approvals.

What the Lianbang high-ranking officials themselves had to decide was how to reward the reinforcement troops dispatched to the Southeast Military Department.

Namely, Mo Yunjian, Shi Fanmeng, Dengyi Gang, and other Generals, Sovereign-level experts, and other elite warriors!

These matters proceeded smoothly.

As long as they followed the established procedures, everything would go fine.

The Lianbang high-ranking officials only needed to read the documents, voice their opinions, and vote—there would be no major issues.

Then came the discussion on how to handle Su Yang.

In recent days, because Tianxing Society members had attacked Mount Dajiao, killing over a dozen civilians, Su Yang had flown into a rage and ruthlessly exterminated the Tianxing Society in the southeast—news of this had reached the Lianbang high-ranking officials.

Besides the report submitted by the Southeast Military Department, the Lianbang high-ranking officials had also thoroughly investigated the incident through various channels.

After analyzing it all, these elders had a clear understanding of Su Yang's character!

Combined with Su Yang's past behavior, labeling him as "young and impetuous" was entirely justified.

Su Yang's prestige had once again climbed to a new peak!

Naturally, in the southeast, no further explanation was needed.

The appearance of the Beast Emperor, Hurricane Roar Tiger, had left the civilians of the southeast in constant terror.

Even many wealthy families living near the Black Tiger Mountains had fled their homes with their entire households.

The news that Su Yang had killed the Beast Emperor had spread throughout the southeast.

Su Yang's prestige and fame within the Southeast Military Department were now extremely high, approaching that of Qian Qian Hailong.

For the past half-month, stories of Su Yang had also spread through Shengjing.

This genius of the Huaxia Federation, who had once single-handedly fought a quarter of Shengjing's city guard and defeated an entire nation, had once again proven himself by standing atop the corpse of the Beast Emperor, Hurricane Roar Tiger.

Now, Su Yang was the white knight in the hearts of countless women.

He was the idol of countless young beast-tamers.

He was the model for countless young soldiers!

Data showed that after Su Yang killed the Beast Emperor and the Lianbang Army crushed the Beast Emperor's forces, the number of young beast-tamers in the southeast eager to join the military surged suddenly!

The higher Su Yang's prestige among young soldiers, the more support he received, the more unstoppable his momentum became!

All high-ranking officials knew that Su Yang could not be suppressed.

He would inevitably become a Lianbang high-ranking official, a core figure of the Federation!

If they tried to suppress him, it might backfire!

Tian Lao's two sons were highly capable and had also progressed well within the military.

He had asked his two sons for their opinions; both felt there was no need to block Su Yang!

Su Yang's actions showed he was not a man of great tolerance—he was even somewhat tyrannical and petty.

Su Yang's methods were ruthless, his character cold, and his strikes merciless!

Just look at what Su Yang has done now.

The Tianxing Society had merely caused collateral damage to over a dozen civilians during the battle at Mount Dajiao—and Su Yang had launched a furious, merciless extermination, leaving not a single survivor…

What a temper!

It had stunned all other factions in the southeast!

Su Yang is now the strongest in the Federation—they have absolutely no reason to oppose him!

If they opposed Su Yang and earned his enmity, that would be disastrous!

Su Yang is not only the strongest in the Federation—he is also the Federation's top healer.

Perhaps one day, the Tian family might even need his help…

Don't think that meetings of the Lianbang high-ranking officials won't be leaked.

From now on, Su Yang would surely be part of the upper echelons.

Who could guarantee that those few Federation higher-ups who had opinions about Tian Lao wouldn't secretly tell Su Yang!

Xuyuanshuai brought up the old matter again: "What do you all think — should Su Yang be given the rank of Lieutenant General?"

After saying these military words, Xuyuanshuai looked at Tian Lao.

Last time the matter of promoting Su Yang's military rank came up, it was Tian Lao who had opposed it most fiercely!

At this moment, Tian Lao also fell silent.

But his silence did not mean Xuyuanshuai would forget about him.

"Tian Lao, what do you think?"

"The rank of Lieutenant General should indeed be given!" Tian Lao hesitated for a moment before saying, "After I went back these past few days, I also seriously considered it. Su Yang's merits are great — practically everyone in the entire Federation knows by now. Suppressing him too much really wouldn't be appropriate."

"What about the rest of you? Do the others have any objections?"
