Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins
Chapter 1224 Successor (Thanks to the great certification of Zhigongli from Big Brother 2 Jiecheng!)
Chen Mu wanted to persuade him again and say some encouraging words like "old but still strong".
After all, he is his general, and the only capable general now. He cannot retire just because of an injury.
Where would his army find a loyal, reliable, capable and experienced general?
As if seeing Chen Mu's worry, the Duke smiled and said:
"Boss Chen, don't worry. I'm not quitting.
It's just one injury. I've been through so much of this kind of thing, how could I lose my fighting spirit just because of this one injury?
I can still fight, and I dare to fight.
As long as Boss Chen wants, I can fight for you for another hundred years, no problem at all."
After hearing the Duke's assurance, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel relieved.
But Chen Mu was very confused, "Then why did you suddenly say that just now?"
"Of course, it's for your consideration, Boss Chen." The Duke said with a smile: "My ability to fight again does not conflict with what I said just now.
To be honest, in the recent wars, I can feel that I am getting old and starting to fall behind the times.
First of all, my rank is that I am only a Gui general. In the early days of your business, Boss Chen, I was still enough.
But now there are already a lot of evil generals in the army, many evil kings, and even evil lords.
I am just a cunning general, and my strength is not enough.
Moreover, due to age issues, it is no longer possible to further improve his strength, or even to enter the Guimen to improve his strength.
My upper limit is stuck at the level of a ghost general.
Boss Chen, just imagine, in the future war led by the Gui Zun and Gui Zhu, is it really appropriate to let a Gui General lead the army? "
Chen Mu said, "Wangjiang Shouwang is selected based on talent. If he has commanding ability, why not?"
The Duke smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Boss Chen, you haven't been to the battlefield much, so you don't know much.
Let me tell you this, this time I was seriously injured. If I were the Ghost King or Ghost Master, would I be injured?
In high-end warfare, the commander's strength is too low and he lacks the ability to protect himself, which is a major hidden danger for the army.
Moreover, unless you reach the level of Ghost King or Ghost Lord, I cannot understand many of the tricks involved.
Facing a battle between top-tier warriors, if Boss Chen were to rely on the experience and vision of a spooky general to lead his troops, he would probably suffer a great loss."
Hearing what the Duke said, Chen Mu fell silent.
He had to admit that what the Duke said did make some sense.
As the Wangjiang Watch Army expanded, it became increasingly difficult for Gui Jiang to do his job, both in terms of self-preservation ability and vision experience.
"There's more to it than that," the Duke continued.
"My combat experience is the sum of many years.
When Boss Chen came to me, I had actually already retired.
Can those pre-retirement experiences, which have been eliminated by time, still adapt to the ever-changing wars of today?
Not only is my experience outdated, but my learning ability is also getting weaker as I get older.
This time I was seriously injured, and I have to admit that in terms of updating combat methods and tactics, I was indeed one step behind the monster and failed to keep up with the times.
I have some experience in small-scale combat in the past.
The war is now at the level of a 'flood', and the abilities of the strange beasts are evolving at an ever-increasing rate. To be honest, I'm on the verge of being eliminated by the times."
When saying this, the Duke's tone did reveal reluctance and loneliness.
In many cases, it takes a lot of courage to actively admit one's own shortcomings.
What's more, the current Duke holds a high position and is considered one of the top figures in Wangjiang Shouwang.
At this time, he should perform well in front of Chen Mu, even if he has to put on a brave face, he must maintain his image in Boss Chen's heart.
Only in this way can you maintain your position.
As a duke who had once been in the vortex of power, he must have known this.
But now, revealing one's weaknesses in front of Boss Chen is tantamount to destroying one's own future.
After hearing these words, Chen Mu will definitely think about changing the coach.
Chen Mu said: "Your Excellency the Duke, you want to..."
"Boss Chen, to be honest, I have been with you all this way and have received your kindness. Deep down, I already consider you a brother, so I said those words out of consideration for you." The Duke said:
"So, Boss Chen, right now, while I can still hold on for a while, it's time to consider a coaching change in the future.
The era of the old will eventually pass. The future belongs to the young."
Since the Duke said it frankly, Chen Mu stopped being pretentious. He believed that since the Duke said so, there must be a suitable candidate.
"May I ask the Duke, if he retires in the future, who can take over?"
Chen Mu was not very familiar with war, so he naturally had no idea who was proficient in war and who could take over the Duke's position.
The Duke said, "Boss Chen, do you think the Night King can take on this important task?"
"Xiao Ye?" Chen Mu was a little surprised, because in his memory, Xiao Ye and the Duke didn't seem to be particularly close.
Chen Mu originally thought that the Duke would recommend someone who was very close to him. This would also make it easier for the Duke to exert influence in the army in the future.
Unexpectedly, the Duke actually nominated Xiaoye, a person he was not familiar with.
"Yes, it's him." The Duke analyzed:
"The Night King is young and promising, much stronger than me. Furthermore, he is still young enough to join the Guimen Sect, so it's reasonable for him to continue to grow stronger in the future.
More importantly, the Night King started from the grassroots level. In the past, he helped Boss Chen to carry out missions and accumulated a lot of combat experience.
Later, he entered the Inquisition and held important positions there. He led many small-scale battles and achieved outstanding results.
In many waves of strange beasts and even in the "Four-Direction Flood", the Night King performed brilliantly and possessed the ability to command large-scale battles.
Before I was injured this time, the Night King also reminded me not to go too far forward.
To be honest, I didn't listen to the advice.
After I was injured, command was handed over to the Night King.
When Boss Chen returned, he should have seen that the Night King did a great job and kept the battlefield in good order.
To sum up, the Night King already has the ability to succeed me, he just needs time to gain experience.
I don't have any personal relationship with the Night Walker, but Boss Chen, as you said, we at Wangjiang Shouwang only promote people based on their talents, not their connections."
Chen Mu nodded repeatedly after hearing what the Duke said.
Judging from professional qualities, Xiaoye has indeed passed the test.
Chen Mu was more concerned with loyalty. Even from the perspective of loyalty, Xiaoye was fully qualified.
Moreover, not having a personal relationship with the Duke also prevented Chen Mu's army from becoming a private army.
No matter from which aspect, Xiaoye, the successor, is indeed a very suitable candidate.
