Chapter 178 Meeting (Subscription Request)

Li Shundao entered the main hall of the Thunder Commandery, where all the immortals were already waiting. Upon seeing him enter, they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Commander."

"Alright, everyone, please sit down," Li Shundao said, taking a seat in the center of the main hall. The others then gradually took their seats as well.

To Li Shundao's left and right sat Wang Chong, the Left Commander of Fate, and Wang Yue, the Right Commander of Fate. Next, to his left sat the four Vice Commanders of the Capital, and to his right sat the remaining four Thunder Generals.

Sitting at the top, Li Shundao felt that the main hall was empty and there were too few people.

Li Shundao looked around and slowly said, "Alright, let's begin. Everyone should know me, so I won't go into details."

In order to integrate into the Thunder Commandery more quickly and for me to get to know you all faster, each of you should introduce yourselves, especially clearly explaining the specific responsibilities you are currently in charge of.

Alright, let's start with Zuo Siming.

Wang Chong slowly stood up, bowed to Li Shundao, and then slowly said, "The Siming Mansion is mainly responsible for the daily management of the Thunder Commandery, including the mobilization of the legions, logistics, and personnel replenishment..."

After Wang Chong finished speaking, it should have been the Right Master of Fate who introduced Wang Yue, but since Wang Yue was a newly appointed official, the introduction was skipped, and the four Vice Commanders continued the conversation.

The four vice-commanders explained things in more detail than Wang Chong. Each of them was in charge of a specific area, which was usually managed by the Office of the Minister of State, but they could also report directly to Li Shundao, the commander.

The four Thunder Generals spoke less, since the army was relatively simpler and less complicated.

"Alright, I have a pretty good understanding of the general situation," Li Shundao nodded, somewhat satisfied. He turned to look at Zuo Siming Wang Chong: "Zuo Siming, please prepare. You will come with me to Beihai in three days."

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Shundao to be so decisive. As for going to Beihai for inspection, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, most of the Thunder Command's legions were stationed in Beihai, so it was normal for Li Shundao to go and take a look.

Isn't that too fast? You have to know that the previous commander, Liyang, served for a hundred years before going to Beihai once. By then, he had already been in office for fifty or sixty years.

Although surprised, Wang Chong nodded in agreement, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Commander, which legion do you think should be mobilized this time?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Li Shundao frowned and turned to look at Wang Chong.

Looking at Li Shundao's indifferent gaze, Wang Chong felt a slight pressure creeping into his heart.

"That's right, Commander. Previous commanders were escorted by legions when they went to the North Sea, after all, the North Sea is different from other places."

Upon hearing this, Li Shundao immediately understood what was going on and chuckled inwardly, "I didn't expect that even the officials of the Heavenly Court like to show off."

He waved his hand and said, "What kind of trouble could possibly happen on a trip to the North Sea? Even if there are demons, I doubt they would dare to attack us."

If he really dares to come, that would be even better. I haven't had enough killings on the border between humans and demons yet.

"That's settled then. In three days, it will just be the two of us, plus the two vice commanders. We'll set off lightly."

"After I leave, the Thunder Commandery will be fully managed by the Right Commander Wangyue, assisted by the two Vice Commanders, and everyone else will obey orders. What do you all think?"

The group exchanged glances, then stood up in unison, clasped their hands in salute, and said, "We will obey your command."

"Well, then everyone can leave," she said, giving Mochizuki a look before walking away alone.

After watching Li Shundao leave, the crowd also began to walk out in twos and threes.

In particular, several of Lei Jiang's men gathered together and started talking about what Li Shundao had just done.

"Tell me, does our Commander dare to venture into the North Sea with three Golden Immortals? Is it because he's genuinely confident, or is he just trying to save face?"

"Who knows? We'll have to wait and see when he gets back."

"That's true, but I still think he must have some skill. After all, didn't he kill four demon lords by himself during the ambush incident?"

"Tch~ Who can really tell what's true and what's false? Besides, do you think demon lords are like cabbages, to be killed whenever you want?"

"By the way, Zuo Siming, what do you think of this new Commander?"

When Wang Chong heard the question, he smiled slowly and said, "Everyone, let's not say too much. We'll find out if it's true or false with one try. Go back now, I still have some arrangements to make." With that, he took the lead and left.

One of the generals glanced at him and cursed inwardly, "Old fox!"

As Wang Chong walked, he was filled with emotion, marveling at Li Shundao's killing two birds with one stone... or rather, killing many birds with one stone.

This time, when he went to Beihai, he transferred himself and the two vice commanders away, while leaving behind his trusted confidant, the Right Commander. It is estimated that before they even return, Wangyue will be able to win over half of the people's hearts for Li Shundao.

He went to Beihai right after taking office, and he was even lightly equipped. If things go smoothly, this high regard for him will, to say the least, win over half of the people in the Beihai naval corps stationed there.

This free time also allowed them to gradually understand the true strength and weakness of the Thunder Commandery. Thinking of this, even Wang Chong couldn't help but give Li Shundao a thumbs up.

Thinking of what the Thunder Generals had just said, he chuckled to himself. He didn't know anything else, but he did know the inside story of how Li Shundao had killed four demon lords in that ambush.

It's true that he killed four demon lords, and it's even said that he injured one of them. Thinking of this, Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh: "Indeed, people can't be compared!"

This is why, even though Li Shundao transferred him away just now, and he knew it was a power grab, he didn't object at all; he knew he couldn't resist it.

Although he held a high position and great power as the Left Commander of the Thunder Division, the Commander's Office did not only have him as its head; there was also a Right Commander, who was Li Shundao's confidant.

Furthermore, besides the Office of Fate, there are four Vice Commanders. If they really get the support of the Commanders, they could even sideline the Office of Fate.

Seeing Wangyue walk in, Li Shundao nodded and slowly said, "After I leave, you don't need to have too many conflicts with them. If you can help them, then help them; if you can't, wait until I come back to deal with it."

"I'm keeping you in the Thunder Commandery this time mainly to get a feel for things, but if you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can consult Venus. Just say it was me who suggested it, and he'll handle it for you."

Wang Yue nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Isn't it a bit too few of you four to go to Beihai? Why don't you bring more people with you?"

Li Shundao smiled and said, "It's alright. Don't you know me? Besides, more people will attract attention. Even if I can't beat them, I can still run away."

Wangyue listened and nodded, feeling somewhat relieved. The two talked for a while longer before Wangyue left the Commandery Hall with a solemn expression.

Li Shundao sighed inwardly. In fact, he knew that it was not appropriate to entrust these scheming and intrigue matters to Wangyue; Zhang Yang would have been more suitable.

However, he currently has no capable people to take on, and the Right Master of Fate is also an important position with little danger, which is a good opportunity to curb Wangyue's temperament.

Shaking his head, Li Shundao went straight out the door and headed towards Lingxiao Club. He had also made an appointment with Huajian to drink together today, and also to ask about some things concerning the North Sea Demon Clan.
