Chapter 627

Instead, they were sent to assist with city defense matters.

To counter the Shoushen Sect, the Western Military Department withdrew more than half of its Emergency Unit members.

The rear defenses were dangerously weak!

According to intelligence obtained by He Jin, the Thirteenth Emergency Squad suffered no losses.

Currently, the stationed beasts are in the western cities of the Western Military Department, as the city lords there reported unusual beast activity and suspect an impending beast tide.

However, after Su Yang's Thirteenth Emergency Squad was stationed there for nearly a month, the unusual beast activity has gradually subsided—perhaps it was just a false alarm.

The Southwest Military Department frequently encounters such incidents.

Not having a beast tide occur is certainly a good thing.

He Gang promised that once Peng Xiangming withdraws, Su Yang's Thirteenth Emergency Squad will be recalled.

After waiting two days at the guesthouse, Su Yang finally met He Jin and Zhou Wanshan.

"Major Su, Zhou Wanshan needs to go to the Zongjunbu to submit several important reports for me!" He Jin said directly. "In the documents, I've already formally requested that General Shi treat your injuries—you just need to accompany Zhou Wanshan there."

"Mm."

"The Zongjunbu is full of hidden talents—you should go and see for yourself!" He Jin smiled. "I hear there are several prodigy beast tamers there too; perhaps you'll find some common ground."

"Is the Zongjunbu that strong?"

Su Yang asked curiously.

"The Zongjunbu wasn't naturally strong—it's just that it's drawn in countless prodigies from the Eight Military Departments!" He Jin said. "It's the capital of the Huaxia Federation, after all. You know how it is—just like Yilan City and Changwu City in the west and northwest!"

Su Yang continued: "What level would I be considered at the Zongjunbu?"

In this world, communication mostly relies on shouting.

Information is extremely isolated.

Su Yang didn't know much about the Zongjunbu.

He'd only heard of a few Zongjunbu elders.

Every Huaxia person knew.

"If you only consider beast tamer rank, you wouldn't even make the list—but if you add an age restriction… you're utterly unique. At least, I've never heard of a prodigy beast tamer who matches you," He Jin chuckled. "Don't undervalue yourself. Your talent is top-tier in the Huaxia Federation—I guarantee it. When you get to the Zongjunbu, as long as you're in the right, don't fear anyone. Myself and Qin Pengcheng still hold some influence there."

"Got it."

Whether He Jin or Qin Pengcheng, in a feudal dynasty, they would certainly be powerful regional governors with real authority.

Their influence at the Zongjunbu must also be considerable.

Su Yang believed this.

But this trip to the Zongjunbu, Su Yang only wanted treatment for his injuries.

He had no intention of stirring up trouble or drawing attention.

He wasn't the type to seek the spotlight.

Reputation meant nothing to him.

He didn't live off his reputation.

One day later, Su Yang, Liu Mengyun, and Zhou Wanshan left Yilan City.

Summoning the Storm Eagle, Liu Mengyun and Zhou Wanshan leapt onto its claws—one on each side.

The Storm Eagle turned its head away, refusing to acknowledge them.

The smooth, practiced movements of the two made it heartbreakingly clear.
