Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7080

Chapter 6991: Declaration!

Meanwhile, through the giant communication towers, Li Tianming’s image appeared on the communication towers of the Heavenly Mandate Army throughout the old capital.

“This thing is so convenient…” Sui Shenyao exclaimed, looking at everything.

“After all, it’s the central hub of the entire unified star system, so it’s normal. The small chaotic Milky Way back then didn’t have something like this,” Aurora said with a slight smile.

Those who saw Li Tianming were all curious about the sudden contact and what instructions he had.

Li Tianming addressed the giant communication towers, loudly announcing, “Brothers of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the war is temporarily over. I have two things to announce. First, the statistics of military merits have been completed, and soon you will be appointed according to your merits.”

A clamor erupted within the Heavenly Mandate Army, filled with excited cheers!

“I single-handedly took down twenty enemies on the battlefield this time! I should at least be promoted to centurion!” someone laughed heartily.

“What does the number of people matter? I defeated a fourth-tier Dao Ancestor, which relieved a lot of pressure on my battlefield,” an older disciple said proudly.

“Why worry about positions? Following Governor Li, of course we’re aiming for the Primordial Dao. I wonder if my battle merits are enough to obtain a Dao…” someone said wistfully.

Just as everyone was discussing the rewards for their battle merits, Li Tianming added, “Secondly, disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect can temporarily choose to return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect for cultivation.”

This statement shocked many people, who stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

“What?!”

“Usually, those who follow in battle are required to guard the star system they govern for a period of time. We can go back so soon?”

someone belatedly responded.

“It’s normal, actually. After all, usually after conquering a territory, we need to prevent local indigenous uprisings and also guard against the covetous eyes of surrounding star systems. But we’re not afraid of either of those.”

“That’s right. The Divine Treasure Clan here is almost fanatical in their devotion to Governor Li. How could they possibly riot? The surrounding star systems have already been severely weakened by our attacks, so they dare not act recklessly.”

“So, normally we have the conditions to not station troops here completely.” Someone nodded in agreement.

Facing the discussion, Li Tianming glanced at the disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect among the members, his gaze sharp.

He then announced, “Of course, the premise for allowing you to return to your sect is that once I summon you back, you must respond and return immediately, unless you choose to withdraw from the Heavenly Mandate Army.”

For a moment, there was a flurry of discussion within the Heavenly Mandate Army. The matter of withdrawing from the Heavenly Mandate Army was somewhat sensitive.

Mainly because the matter of Huan Sheng had caused a great unpleasant incident, so most members of the Heavenly Mandate Army remained silent, not daring to express their opinions.

“Don’t be nervous, everyone. Leaving the legion isn’t a heinous crime here; we’ve already agreed on it,” Li Tianming smiled slightly, then continued, “As for Huansheng, his mistake was disrupting morale and deserting in the face of battle. But for now, it’s peaceful. You can leave the Tianming Army without any problem, and you won’t be punished severely.”

Upon hearing this, someone asked with a shifty gaze, “Is that really true?”

Li Tianming smiled slightly, “Of course it is. And you’ll still receive the rewards for your merits in this battle. Furthermore, if you’ve accumulated enough merits for promotion, since you’re no longer serving under me, I’ll exchange them for corresponding tangible rewards.”

Immediately, the Tianming Army erupted in commotion, all stunned by Li Tianming’s magnanimity.

“Governor Li’s magnanimity is admirable. I didn’t expect that choosing to leave would still result in a reward settlement,” someone exclaimed.

“I’m not leaving! A one-off deal is meaningless. As long as I’m still in the Tianming Army, I can earn more merits and get more rewards. Other governors might not be as generous as Governor Li,” a Tianming Army member responded.

“I…I didn’t say I wanted to withdraw, I just wanted to understand…” the doubtful person said somewhat guiltily.

Li Tianming communicated with everyone almost face-to-face through the giant communication star tower.

He looked at everyone’s faces, then said seriously, “In short, this is an opportunity to withdraw from the Heavenly Mandate Army. Anyone who wants to withdraw can say so, and your battle merits will be settled on the spot. So, does anyone want to withdraw?”

For a moment, no one directly answered the question of whether to withdraw. Instead, his actions puzzled many people.

“The current situation seems peaceful, but it is actually the calm before the storm. The variable from the young emperor next door could suddenly erupt at any time.” “

Now that he is facing pressure from a group of big shots in the Heavenly Emperor Sect, he should logically tie everyone to the same boat. Although the effect is minimal, it is better than nothing…”

“I don’t understand. If it were me, I would do the same. If I can drag someone down with me, I will. Every chance of survival is better.”

Many people discussed and speculated about Li Tianming’s thoughts, but no one chose to withdraw.

Faced with this result, Li Tianming was a little surprised.

But upon closer reflection, Huan Sheng, besides withdrawing himself, had also helped Li Tianming select and take away those with weak wills through his own efforts.

In this respect, he had actually helped Li Tianming.

Within the Tianming Army, everyone exchanged glances, and finally someone responded.

“Governor Li, I’ve decided to return to cultivate. I request approval.”

“Me too!”

“I want to go back as well; my path needs guidance from my elders.”

No one mentioned withdrawing, but many disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect chose to return to cultivate.

Among them were many from powerful clans, but these people were all worried and somewhat distracted.

After giving their replies, everyone waited nervously for Li Tianming’s response.

“Alright, all approved. I keep my word,” Li Tianming said decisively.

This was somewhat unexpected; no one had anticipated Li Tianming’s decisiveness.

“Thank you, Governor Li!” the returning disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect said in unison.

Then they all set off immediately. The battle situation was changing rapidly, and opportunities to leave were few, so they didn’t waste any time and departed immediately!

For most people, cultivation isn’t the most important thing; the crucial point is to discuss with their elders the delicate relationship between Li Tianming and the young Emperor.

Currently, due to another battlefield, a delicate balance exists between them; it remains to be seen when this balance will be broken…

After explaining everything, Li Tianming shut down the giant communication tower.

Just then, Li Muyun privately sent a message to Li Tianming.

As Li Tianming received the message, her figure appeared before him.

At this moment, Li Muyun’s eyes showed undisguised worry. She frowned and asked, “Tianming, now is the time when we need people. Why did you release someone back to the Heavenly Emperor Sect at this critical moment?”
