Chapter 205: Chapter 204: Great Yan Military God_2
“`
It is said that in the beginning, Mu Zhan did not think a woman who was merely a “Hero” could become an Emperor.
But in the end, he was still convinced by Xi Qing.
Many rumors circulated, some claimed that Xi Qing, with her own power, defeated the rejuvenated Military God one-on-one, others said Xi Qing had discussed the ways of the world and gained his acknowledgment, and there were even whispers that Xi Qing promised great benefits to get the Military God to yield.
Regardless of the version, Mu Zhan’s strength and status were always prominent.
Just this name alone, within the entire Great Yan Immortal Dynasty’s military, is a living legend!
However, the actual reason was not that complicated.
Mu Zhan simply saw “Hope” in Xi Qing.
Yes, Hope.
He was loyal to the Great Yan, his love was also for the Great Yan, not the Royal Family, serving the previous Emperors was only because they were the stable foundation of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, and in the last Trial, Xi Qing was the only choice to ensure the continuation of Great Yan.
So, he actually did not hesitate much at all.
The same goes for now.

Mu Zhan could see very clearly that the current alliance with Human Civilization was the only choice for the entire Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.
After receiving the appointment from Xi Qing, he donned his War Armor and arrived at his central command tent, which he had used for hundreds of years and even refined into a Magic Treasure, from where orders were continuously issued, organizing this immensely vast Legion into orderly operation.
“Marshal.” A subordinate general walked into the tent signifying the authority of the Military God and bowed as he said, “The Human Civilization’s General team has arrived.”
“Let them in,” Mu Zhan said in an unchanged tone, but with a deep voice.
A moment later, Yang Jun led a dozen commanders, also in military attire, into the tent.
Their first glance was captured by Mu Zhan.
This was an older man than expected, his face lined with wrinkles, just the face alone looked as old as centenarians from Human Civilization’s past.
But, in stark contrast to his aged face was his burly figure.
Even in War Armor, one could feel the overwhelming power contained within that towering frame, which even surprised Yang Jun to some degree.
As one of Shen Hao’s earliest direct subordinates, Yang Jun had ample confidence in his own strength.
He was certainly among the top echelon of Human Civilization, next only to the President.
His Level had even reached Level 18!
But at this moment, he vividly felt the presence of this man before him exerting no small pressure on him.
His Level was surely no weaker than his own, but the authority forged from hundreds of years of military service was something young Yang Jun simply couldn’t compare with.
In fact, at this moment, Mu Zhan too was observing Yang Jun. Although his expression remained unreadable, he felt both surprised and a bit puzzled internally.
The surprise was due to the strength of Yang Jun, which Mu Zhan could also sense as a threat emanating from him.
That was an instinct honed through countless trials.
This man’s strength, although not as experienced as him, gave him a sense of extreme danger, evidently carrying an extraordinary ace up his sleeve.
The puzzlement, however, stemmed from Yang Jun’s demeanor.
With just one glance, he could tell this was a strong Soldier, not a strong General.
Yet, despite his mind brimming with thoughts, Mu Zhan still stood up.
“Welcome, Generals,” Mu Zhan said in a deep voice, “According to the Alliance, the Alliance will be led by Human Civilization. I would like to know who the Main General is, please take a seat.”
As he spoke, the expressions of many Great Yan Generals in attendance changed.
While no one said anything, the looks they cast at Yang Jun and his peers turned sharp, carrying with them an invisible pressure.
“`
The covenant does indeed specify that this alliance war is to be led by Human Civilization, but evidently, they only recognize the Military God!
Faced with this situation, Yang Jun wasn’t too surprised.
“It seems that Marshal Mu doesn’t fully understand our military system yet,” Yang Jun glanced at everyone around him and said, “In this war, there’s only one supreme Main General, and that’s the President. However, the President isn’t a military commander and hence won’t directly intervene in military operations. Under the President, various military authorities will be coordinated and allocated, with decisions made by the Command Center.”
“You mean there’s no supreme commander?” Mu Zhan understood Yang Jun’s words, seeming to be somewhat surprised.
“Exactly,” Yang Jun nodded, “That’s because the war environment of Civilization Trial actually exceeds all our past experiences. Even General Mu has never experienced such warfare, has he?”
“I understand your point,” Mu Zhan pondered and nodded slightly, “Indeed, this war is completely different from previous ones.”
“Rather than blindly trusting in an individual’s ability, it’s better to pool our wisdom,” Yang Jun went on, “If conflicting opinions arise between us, there are three options: first, vote to decide; second, report to the President. In fact, under the assistance of multiple parties, the majority of situations can maintain consensus.”
After all, outstanding military command thoughts always connect with one another.
The general direction is often clearly evident.
At most, there are differences in the details, which require more people to refine together.
Moreover, they now have Fiora.
All decisions made are subjected to Fiora’s rapid simulation calculations to get a rough prediction of the outcome.
Although it isn’t 100% accurate, it’s unlikely for major problems to arise.
If any unforeseen situations do occur, then Shen Hao will need to step in.
With such a terrifyingly powerful individual at their disposal, although he cannot resolve the crisis alone, turning the tide at critical moments is still within his reach.
Therefore, Shen Hao still holds the position of the Main General with the highest authority.
Generally speaking, Shen Hao does not interfere with military command at will, but once a divergence arises, his decisions take priority over the entire Command Center.
It was just like the last Desert Tower war.
In the Desert Tower war, the Command Center believed the objective of the war had been achieved and there was no need to continue risking an advance to the Desert Tower Civilization’s Mother Planet. However, Shen Hao made a judgment on his own, confident that with the spaceship and his Teleportation ability, he could suppress the entire Desert Tower Civilization.
In the end, it was proven that Shen Hao indeed accomplished this.
All these factors together have formed a unique military command system that doesn’t comply with the past or common sense but fits the present situation perfectly.
At this moment, aside from Mu Zhan, the rest of the generals found this all unbelievable and even quite absurd.
“Report to Marshal!” a general couldn’t help but stand up, “To let someone who isn’t a general, with no military leadership ability, assume the role of Main General, isn’t this turning the war into a joke?”
“Exactly,” someone also agreed, “The soldiers will question the military orders.”
“My Great Yan has invested over a hundred million fine young men; how can this be child’s play!”
“Why not let the Marshal take the position of Main General? The Marshal is known as the Military God in our Great Yan, undefeated in battle! There is a proven track record!”
“…”
The tones of these generals weren’t sharp, even quite polite, but Yang Jun and the many commanders behind him could see doubt and concern in their eyes.
This is the difference in perception.
Before Yang Jun and his team arrived, the Analysis Department had actually predicted this issue.
After all, while the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty may be powerful, their strength lies in power, not thought. Their thinking has not truly opened up and is still constrained by the framework of civilization.
This point is evident because they had never considered making contact with other civilizations.
Human Civilization, on the other hand, sought to observe and make contact with other civilizations at the first opportunity. In contrast, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty only thought about solving their own crises and remained wary of outsiders.
Such differences in perception and culture are bound to cause certain difficulties for the Alliance.
