"Zhu Ying!" Ren Yundu's eyes immediately narrowed when he saw the handsome young man in silver armor.
This man was a genius of the Zhu family. He had followed the army into battle since childhood, his military achievements illustrious. At such a young age, he had already become a Captain General, one rank above Ren Yundu.
A Captain General, in full a Captain General, was a type of general, though not a particularly high-ranking one.
"So it is Deputy Captain Ren. May I ask what brings you here?" Zhu Ying asked with a smile, his gaze settling on Ren Yundu.
Clearly, Zhu Ying knew Ren Yundu.
"We have come to carry out a mission on the Eighth Prince's orders. This is the document from the Military Affairs Office!" Ren Yundu said. Then, with a turn of his palm, a beast-hide document appeared in his hand.
Zhu Ying did not inspect the document. He merely nodded and said, "The general has ordered you to garrison the Ring Mountain Mine, more than three hundred thousand miles west of here. Assist the guards there and ensure the mine's safety!"
"What?" Ren Yundu's expression darkened at those words. They were all geniuses from the Divine Martial Academy, every one of them possessing cultivation in the Martial Emperor realm.
Especially him—his cultivation had reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, Ninth Layer, and his combat strength rivaled that of an ordinary Venerable.
Yet General Zhu Long had actually sent them to guard some insignificant mine.
Guarding a mine was not merely standing watch. It also meant hard labor, mining the vein itself.
Was Zhu Long treating them like laborers?
The other Divine Martial Academy disciples all wore grim expressions. They had come to take part in battle.
They would only act if war broke
