Chen Xinjie was not afraid of the military. He had spent so many years moving through its ranks that he had no shortage of connections and favors.
He believed that even if he withdrew from the War God Temple and stepped down as commander of the Sea God Legion, out of consideration for him, no one in the military would pursue the War God Temple's war gods for colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation.
