Zhao Xing, seeing the situation, voluntarily descended his cloud and leveled with Chen Lu.
Chen Lu was a secondary seventh-rank, while Zhao Xing was a full seventh-rank. It was appropriate for him to salute Zhao Xing.
However, considering Chen Lu was in a divine possession state with the God of Agriculture, Zhao Xing decided to be more courteous.
"Jun Shu of the Divine Might Army, Zhao Xing."
He announced his na and returned the salute: "Mr. Chen, there is no need to be so formal. We are on the sa side. I happened to be passing by, saw an alien warship, and followed it."
Chen Lu was still very respectful and descended his cloud by half a ter: "Mr. Zhao’s spells are truly astonishing. I have never seen anyone as formidable as you. This cloud of yours, what spell is it?"
Chen Lu indeed had a preference for the occupation of Minister of Agriculture. At this mont, he even forgot the True Monarch Tian De’s instructions, avoiding mingling for credit, and instead, chatted with Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing found it amusing because he used the Bright Eyes Technique to see the Yin God possessing Chen Lu, shaking his head, obviously feeling that this follower was a bit dim.
Teaching is futile! Don’t summon next ti; I’m afraid you’ll infect with your foolishness!
"Mr. Chen, we can discuss spells later. Right now, the enemy on the Netherfla Warship has not been dealt with. Please, Brother Chen, assist ."
Actually, most of the enemies were already dealt with, and Long Xiao could handle the rest. But Zhao Xing was willing to give Chen Lu so face.
As long as he participated in the counterattack, at least when deducting battle rits, the deduction would be less.
Gaining battle rits was out of the question. With such high casualties after the city was breached, one could only hope for fewer deductions, not additional rits.
Of course, if Chen Lu had defended the city earlier, he would have had rits.
"Oh, right." Chen Lu quickly cast a spell.
Zhao Xing was sowhat surprised because Chen Lu didn’t switch to possessing another divine spirit and the attack spell he cast was relatively weak.
He seed to understand why Chen Lu, a priest, ended up as a Jun Shu.
It turns out this guy loved being the Minister of Agriculture, only worshiping the Agriculture God in routine tis.
"Whoosh~"
Gang Wind blew, as Chen Lu cast the Gang Wind Skill, blowing inside the warship, reaping the lives of the alien soldiers.
By now, Patti was already beheaded.
He couldn’t last ten seconds in Long Xiao’s hands before having his head cut off.
To his death, his eyes were wide open.
Patti truly died with a grievance; he hadn’t delved deeper, only chose to sneak attack a grain city, yet encountered two monstrous seventh-rank geniuses!
"It’s done. This gentleman is..." Long Xiao stepped out.
"This subordinate is Chen Lu, Jun Shu of the Zhenhai Army, the chief commander of City 109." Chen Lu hurriedly saluted. It was clear that Long Xiao was also a seventh-rank and at a higher rank than Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing was at the lower seventh-rank, while Long Xiao was at the upper seventh-rank.
"Divine Might Army, Valiant Captain Long Xiao."
"Brother Chen, as a commander, you are not very competent. The enemy ca to raid your ho, yet you showed no resistance." Long Xiao spoke bluntly.
From a commander’s perspective, Chen Lu was evidently unqualified.
Although the rank of this city wasn’t high, there was still a chance to resist.
Even with allied forces appearing, his response was too slow, failing to seize the mont to lead a charge. Though assistance wasn’t necessary, as a commander, the expected decisiveness was missing.
Chen Lu blushed: "This subordinate is indeed ashad."
In truth, he wasn’t suited to be the chief commander. The original commander of this city was soone else, but the Zhenhai Army fought so fiercely many commanders were reassigned.
Ultimately leaving only this seventh-rank priest to hold the fort.
Chen Lu’s mind was rather straightforward, facing Long Xiao’s questioning, he did not argue these points.
A mistake was a mistake, incapability was incapability.
"This matter cannot entirely be blad on Mr. Chen."
"The alien race was too cunning."
Zhao Xing comforted him.
"No, Mr. Long is right, it was indeed my fault." Chen Lu shook his head.
"Mr. Chen, don’t take it to heart." Zhao Xing smiled, "No major disaster occurred after all. Please, Mr. Chen, now handle this warship and the spoils of war."
Chen Lu quickly waved his hand: "No, no, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Long, how dare I touch this warship and its spoils?"
"Without the help of you two, I might have faced demotion."
No matter what, Chen Lu refused.
Zhao Xing allowed him to assist, showing utmost benevolence.
Being polite was one thing; if he insisted on sharing the spoils, it would be ungrateful.
How could Chen Lu have the face to ask?
He refused, and yet, Zhao Xing insisted on giving him so benefits.
Chen Lu was a rare honest person, gaining his favor could be useful in the future.
On the battlefield, an extra brother ant extra life.
Additionally, Zhao Xing needed Chen Lu to provide manpower to operate the Netherfla Warship.
A dium-sized warship couldn’t be handled by one person.
Wanting to take all the benefits and have soone work for free, even if Chen Lu had no objections, others might not. Could Mr. Zhao be so out of touch with reality?
After persuading for so ti, Chen Lu finally agreed to take a tenth of the spoils to appease the wounded brothers.
"Brother Chen, please lend so manpower to sail to my garrison city."
"How many do you need?"
"I’ll need fifty n."
Chen Lu nodded: "No problem!"
He didn’t have many chanical masters left; the Netherfla Warship had damaged the array while causing backlash injuries to many masters, others died or fled under the Blood Kui and heavy waterstone attacks.
Now, it was crucial to quickly repair the city’s array and strengthen defenses.
But Chen Lu still called for n to assist Zhao Xing.
After a brief rest.
Zhao Xing led his n onto the ship.
