Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2279: Chapter 2280: Life and Death Are Mine to Decide, Honor and Disgrace as Well (Part 1)

Under this immense awe-inspiring presence, even the strongest elite troops must bow their heads obediently.

Some tried defying this imposing force, but without exception, all failed.

Which filled them with deep fear.

Even if Xue An held the Command Troop Token, it’s impossible to have such a powerful presence that prevents everyone from lifting their heads!

But they didn’t know, when Yue Guannan handed the Fine Gold mask to him.

The once flawed commanding presence was completely restored, leaving no imperfections.

Thus, the commanding presence Xue An possessed now was perfectly complete, naturally extremely powerful.

Now Xue An said slowly, ”From this moment on, I am your master, life or death is in my hands, honor or disgrace is also with me. Do you... concede?”

With this question, Xue An stood proud, his cold gaze sweeping over the elite troops.

The commanding presence on him became heavy to almost manifest substance.

Under this dual pressure, the psychological defenses of these elite troops began to crumble, and someone finally took the lead to kneel on the ground entirely.

”I... am willing!”

Once someone took the lead, these elite troops finally began to admit defeat on a large scale.

After all, they were originally supposed to obey Xue An who held the Command Troop Token.

Previously, it was just because they were defiant and assumed Yue Guannan backed them.

But now Yue Guannan left and gave the mask to this white-clothed youth.

This was equivalent to acknowledging his status and authority.

In such circumstances, bowing down to Xue An wasn’t considered disgraceful.

However, there were always some stubborn ones struggling to understand.

For example, the squad leader who had mocked Xue An before, he now forced himself not to kneel.

He thought it through clearly.

Even though the trend of the soldiers’ allegiance is irreversible, as a squad leader, no matter what Xue An wants to do, he needs to rely on him, otherwise, he’ll achieve nothing.

With this thought, he almost fearlessly resisted, though suppressed to kneel, he still refused to yield.

Because he wanted to wait for Xue An to personally lift him up.

So this way, his dignity would be maintained, and Xue An could lead these elite troops, benefiting both parties with a compromise.

In fact, many others held the same thought.

These people all forced themselves not to yield.

Because they wanted to wait for Xue An to extend kindness to them.

Actually, this sort of thing is quite common in the Bing Family.

As a commander wanting to lead elite troops, one must rely on the lower-level officers.

It’s impossible for a commander to personally issue orders to the lowest soldiers!

In such circumstances, the commanders of the Bing Family and lower-level officers often form a tacit understanding.

Like now.

Anyone with some Bing Family knowledge would step forward to help those squad leaders up, offering comfort and encouragement.

The purpose is to show sincerity, so both sides can continue to cooperate.

But this time, those squad leaders’ plans fell through entirely.

Because they were facing Xue An, who had no Bing Family background and played unconventionally.

Xue An looked at these squad leaders unwilling to surrender, his lips curled into a cold, amused smile.

”What’s this? Not planning to yield? Or do you still want to give me a hard time?” Xue An said indifferently.

As soon as he spoke, these squad leaders trembled, a sense of doubt arising in their hearts.

Does this guy truly not understand or is he pretending?

But regardless, the situation has become clear now; it’s impossible to hide anymore.

So one of the bolder squad leaders looked up at Xue An.

”Commander-in-Chief, we dare not test you any longer!”

”Oh? Then what does this mean now?” Xue An asked coldly.

”Cough, cough, we just want to know if after you take command, will we still serve as squad leaders?”

”Yes! After all, we’ve been in this role for a long time, and the brothers below trust us. If you don’t rely on us....”

Even though unsaid, the implication was evident.

If you dare not choose us, we’ll drop the ball.

It was a covert threat to Xue An.

If it were anyone else, they might have complied.

After all, what they said wasn’t wrong.

But Xue An wasn’t swayed in the slightest.

He chuckled coldly, ”What’s this? Using this to threaten me? Fine, you want an answer? I’ll give you one now!”

With that, Xue An casually pointed to a soldier kneeling next to a squad leader.

”What’s your name?”

The soldier trembled all over, then bowed his head to the ground, ”Commander-in-Chief, my name is Yue Yangping!”

”Oh? Your surname is Yue too?”

”Almost all elite troops are from the Yue Clan, even outsiders are given the Yue surname!” Yue Yangping explained.

Xue An understood.

On the battlefield, the strongest ties are often those of blood.

And the Yue Clan apparently did this to bind these elite troops, thereby maximizing combat power.

Xue An nodded, suddenly saying, ”Then Yue Yangping, are you willing to replace the person next to you as squad leader?”

This statement stunned Yue Yangping on the spot.

Not just him, the squad leader who had been calculating Xue An’s reaction was also dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

He’s publicly replacing his position?

Ridiculous, after years of effort, he can’t do it! Yue Yangping might not even dare to agree with him!

The squad leader thought to himself.

But just then, a sentence from Yue Yangping shattered him completely.

Yue Yangping lowered his head, solemnly saying, ”I am willing!”

”Uh....” The squad leader made a gurgling sound deep in his throat.

He never dreamed Yue Yangping would truly dare to agree.

Now Yue Yangping turned to look at him, speaking seriously, ”Squad leader, please don’t blame me; after all, you openly defied the Commander-in-Chief’s orders, which is already a major offense. Besides, you’ve been in this role for so long, it should be time for change!”

The squad leader’s face instantly turned white, then red, then purple, finally looking like a piece of black charcoal, extremely unpleasant.

Xue An couldn’t help but chuckle softly; this Yue Yangping was indeed a smart person, speaking very appropriately.

Therefore, he said indifferently, ”Since this is the case, Yue Yangping, are you confident to manage your subordinates well in the coming days?”

Yue Yangping bowed solemnly, ”If I fail, sir can take my head!”

”Good! From now on, you are the squad leader!”
