Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2866: Chapter 2869: Speaking Frankly

”This... if we do this, once the War Array Masters are all dead...”

Si Wencheng wavered but remained somewhat hesitant.

”In the Third War Zone, the Taiji Legion’s Taiji Battle Formation became the spearhead after General Jiang left. Other soldiers of the Taiji Legion and all the Vanguard Army escorted it. Wherever they passed, each legion would protect them. The Third War Zone advanced hundreds of miles independently. The Fourth War Zone... the Seventh War Zone...”

Dongfang Changkong suddenly spoke up, ”Apart from the War Array Masters in the Twelfth War Zone, who did not obey orders due to being related to the Great Emperor, all other War Zones’ War Array Masters became spearheads after General Jiang left. Now, each war zone is suppressing the enemy army and advancing the front lines. Although they are not as strong as General Jiang, they are enough to suppress the enemy and push forward continuously. As for the Twelfth War Zone, your Eighth Prince was ordered and slain by the Second Prince himself!”

Si Wencheng and the others were momentarily stunned, their eyes showing an expression of disbelief.

”Eighth Brother... was killed by Second Brother?”

Si Wencheng’s eyes showed a complex expression.

”On the battlefield, is it surprising to be slain for disobeying military orders?”

Jiang Chen glanced at Si Wencheng and said flatly, ”Do you know why the Second Prince sent the Little Princess to the Virtual Refinement Realm?”

Both Si Wencheng and Si Huang’er paused.

”Because your heart isn’t fully committed to the war. One supports the Third Prince, and the other supports the Crown Prince. But you’re more obvious, since I can be considered one of the Crown Prince’s people, so within the Vanguard Army, there is someone provoking the Blade Legion.

When they provoked the first time, I didn’t take any action; I just wanted to see what you’d do. But you remained indifferent. When the second provocation happened, you showed displeasure but had no intention to stop it. Only when the Little Princess wanted to stop it did I order the execution!”

Jiang Chen looked at Si Wencheng apathetically, ”As the chief commander of the army, yet considering personal stances over battlefield stances, Seventh Prince, you are a good brother, but you are not a good General!”

Si Wencheng’s face changed abruptly, showing a hint of panic.

”Seventh Brother, did you arrange for that man in the Vanguard Army?!”

Si Huang’er looked at Si Wencheng with anger all over her face.

Dongfang Changkong and others all frowned.

”No... without your support, even if other generals dislike me, the Vanguard Army wouldn’t have the guts to provoke a second time.”

Si Wencheng wanted to rebut, but then Jiang Chen’s words sounded again, ”I, Jiang Chen, am known throughout the domains for protecting my subordinates. For my Blade Legion, I’ve even slain generals before; would I hesitate to kill a mere Vanguard soldier?

My Blade Legion has earned a formidable reputation over the past year. Even if rumors are somewhat exaggerated, it wouldn’t be enough for a mere Vanguard soldier to dare provoke my Blade Legion. Si Wencheng, do you still want to argue?”

”Seventh Brother! This is the battlefield! Even the Third Brother wouldn’t do anything targeting the Eldest Brother on the battlefield; how dare you?”

Si Huang’er shouted angrily, now completely convinced of Jiang Chen’s words.

Not only Si Huang’er, but others were also glaring at Si Wencheng angrily.

”Isn’t the Third Prince also daring? Without his support, would the Seventh Prince do such a foolish thing?”

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

Everyone’s expressions changed instantly; the Third Prince’s position was far more important than the Seventh Prince. If he...

”Jiang Chen, you...”

Si Wencheng frowned tightly, looking deeply at Jiang Chen, ”Sometimes being too smart isn’t good!”

”I know, if today’s events reach the Third Prince, I might face endless targeting, even here in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, trouble might embroil me.”

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, ”However, this place isn’t the Third Prince’s domain. It’s ruled by the Five Continents, with the Second Prince, known as the War God, personally overseeing all domain battlefields. The Third Prince wouldn’t dare too obviously. As long as he can’t openly target me, I can rely on the military code not to give him a chance to kill me.”

”What about after returning to the Void Nether Realm?”

Si Wencheng spoke again.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, ”Seventh Prince, do you really think the Third Prince controls everything in the Void Nether Realm? Even if he can plot against me and claim righteousness in Canglan Continent, do you think I’m still the Jiang Chen who just arrived in the Void Nether Realm?”

Si Wencheng frowned lightly and said indifferently, ”Do you think you have the ability to confront Third Brother?”

”I can’t confront the Third Prince, but there are those who can, right? The Third Prince isn’t the sky of Canglan Continent!”

Jiang Chen laughed casually, ”Perhaps you’d say the Third Prince finds it easy to kill me, a Virtual Refinement Realm or Integration Path returnee, but I say, to assassinate me, it’s not just a matter of dealing with one Integration Path. Although I have a good relationship with the Crown Prince, I still haven’t completely stood on his side.

But if I were to die, do you think my mentor Zhao Buzu Zhao Zun, my grandmaster, my masters, and others, the Dan Pavilion and such forces, what would they choose? In the Dan Pavilion, I lectured, enlightening all the elders, which is a favor of teaching.

Do you think after I die, what would they do?”

”You...”

Si Wencheng’s face changed, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Si Huang’er and the others fell silent; the topic exchanged between Si Wencheng and Jiang Chen was beyond their capacity to interject, not even Si Huang’er could.

”I can only rely on leverage now. I don’t want to be enemies with the Third Prince, nor have I ever intended to get involved in the struggle for the throne. But if the Third Prince continues targeting me repeatedly, I can only lean towards the Crown Prince for protection!”

Jiang Chen looked at Si Wencheng indifferently, ”Today I made it clear to you, how to choose is for the Third Prince to decide!”

With his words concluded, Jiang Chen turned and walked towards the Blade Legion.

Si Huang’er and others felt a complex emotion arise in their hearts; Jiang Chen, a great contributor bringing glory to Canglan Continent, had been perpetually wary of the targeting from the Royal Family on Canglan Continent. How ridiculous!

”When will you leave Canglan Continent?”

Si Wencheng suddenly shouted.

”Seventh Brother!”

Si Huang’er shouted angrily, coldly staring at Si Wencheng.

”Little Sister, you don’t understand, but Jiang Chen understands. He... if he stays in Canglan Continent, he will surely die!”

Si Wencheng looked at Si Huang’er, speaking gravely, ”When that time comes, Canglan Continent will be thrown into chaos due to his death, even the Canglan Army might mutiny because of Zhao Zun. His involvement is too extensive; he’s passively entered the struggle for the throne and cannot extricate himself!”

”Why? Why are you doing this?”

Si Huang’er’s eyes glimmered with tears; she couldn’t comprehend why this was happening.

Tang Jie and others nearby all looked up at the sky, wearing expressions pretending not to have heard anything. They regretted coming along now; Jiang Chen really had no reservations in speech!

Si Wencheng did not answer Si Huang’er’s question but instead raised his head to directly watch Jiang Chen’s departing figure.

”Saint Realm!”

A voice drifted over from afar.
