Chapter 937 Is it tolerable, but what is intolerable?
Chen Qi glanced at Shi Xinrong, "As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, isn't it natural for you to count the specific casualties of your troops after the war?"
Shi Xinrong frowned, "When the two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable, but only 80,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. Why make such a fuss?"
"What's more, I am the commander-in-chief of [Dragon Temple] now. What I want to do is my business. Do you think I can make irresponsible remarks?"
"Just?"
Chen Qi's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy, "In your eyes, the life of 80,000 soldiers can only be counted as one?"
"That's 80,000 living lives! It's 80,000 innocent families who suffered!"
"Do you know how many young children have lost their fathers because of this?
How many wives have lost their lovers?
How many parents want a white-haired person to give a black-haired person?"
"But they suffered the pain of losing their loved ones because of your wrong commands again and again!"
Chen Qi raised his head and looked out the window, "Listen, they are wailing and crying at this time, and they are heartbroken."
"And you are still here drinking and having fun, feeling complacent?"
Chen Qi stared at Shi Xinrong, "Don't you have the slightest shame?"
As soon as he said these words, there was an uproar in the hall.
As we all know, the [Dragon Temple] led by Shi Xinrong during this expedition to [Tengu Temple] did suffer heavy losses, but at least they returned victorious.
The celebration banquet held today is precisely to highlight Shi Xinrong's achievements.
However, Chen Qi brought out the 80,000 sacrificed soldiers of [Dragon Temple] to talk about Shi Xinrong, and reduced Shi Xinrong to worthless, almost even pointing at the opponent's nose and scolding him.
Is this appropriate?
"presumptuous!"
, Shi Xinrong suddenly shouted angrily.
"Chen Qi, please clarify your current identity!"
"You are just a small veteran with no power at all. How dare you offend me, the commander-in-chief of the [Dragon Temple]?"
"This is an act of rebellion against the superior, which is treason and immorality!"
Chen Qi shook his head and chuckled, "What a great official authority, General Shi. People like you who are obsessed with power may never understand what military friendship is."
The so-called military friendship means that there is no essential difference between soldiers except for their military rank.
As an officer in power, he has responsibilities and obligations and is responsible for the lives of his subordinates.
The general's life is his life.
The life of a soldier is also life!
Even if you have a high position of power, what qualifications do you have to allow others to die in vain while you are indifferent?
Chen Qi has been in the army for eight years and has grown from an ordinary soldier to the powerful master of the [Dragon Temple].
He witnessed with his own eyes the camaraderie, friendship, and trust between soldiers, and had deep feelings about it, especially after experiencing a series of life and death.
Therefore, since he took charge of the [Dragon Temple], he has treated every soldier under his command as his own.
He does not allow any soldier to die innocently.
Even if you really have to sacrifice, your death must be worthwhile and meaningful.
And how can someone like Shi Xinrong, an officer who has risen through the ranks by relying on his family's power, understand?
A single mistake in decision-making cost 80,000 soldiers their lives in vain.
He has the greatest responsibility, but instead of self-reflection, he completely brushes off the responsibility and thinks everything should be taken for granted?
Shi Xinrong was furious, "Chen Qi, stop talking nonsense here. Don't think that since you are the previous Dragon God, I won't dare to touch you!"
"Move me?"
Chen Qi glanced at Shi Xinrong contemptuously and sneered for a moment, "It's up to you, okay?"
When Shi Xinrong saw Chen Qi's disdainful look, he seemed to be extremely insulted.
Now he is the majestic commander of the [Dragon Temple], the Dragon God General in the eyes of everyone!
Chen Qi is, at best, just a washed-up retired general. Why would he dare to openly mock him in front of so many people?
Before taking office, he had been living in the shadow of Chen Qi.
After taking office, many people compared him with Chen Qi, as if he was still inferior to Chen Qi even though he was so brilliant now.
And now, Chen Qi is insulting him in public.
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
"I want you to die!"
Shi Xinrong roared angrily, suddenly burst into flames, his whole body's energy surged, and he punched Chen Qi and crushed him away.
Shi Xinrong was arrogant, but he also had his arrogant capital.
At such a young age, he possesses an extremely high level of martial arts. Among the entire military, there are only a handful of people who can compare with him.
This is also one of the reasons why he is qualified to sit on the throne of Dragon God.
However, the moment he took action, a petite figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
Rumble~~~
The fists and palms collided, causing the banquet scene to be turned upside down and turned into a mess.
Shi Xinrong's eyes widened and he looked at the young woman in front of him who was a head shorter than him in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
The woman in front of me is suddenly one of the ten generals of the [Dragon Temple], Suzaku.
Just now, Shi Xinrong was in an extremely angry situation and had already made murderous intentions towards Chen Qi without holding back at all.
He was well aware of the power of his punch just now. Even if he faced a less powerful warrior-level master, he could easily kill him.
But, it was actually blocked by Suzaku's understatement?
Ding~~~
A flame burst out of thin air and ignited the cigarette butt beside Chen Qi's mouth.
He took a deep breath and exhaled like a cloud.
"General Shi, do you know why the [Dragon Temple] that I served as was internationally recognized as the strongest?"
Chen Qi holds a cigarette in one hand, looks leisurely, talks and laughs elegantly.
"Some people abroad say that the ten generals under my command are truly powerful enough to be the God of War."
"You think this is a joke?"
Shi Xinrong's pupils trembled.
Of course he had heard of it.
The generation of [Dragon Temple] that Chen Qi was in charge of at that time was famous for being brave and good at fighting.
In particular, the ten generals under his banner are all like wolves and tigers, and their strength is astonishing.
Some people say that any one of the ten generals in the [Dragon Temple] has strength comparable to the God of War.
This is something unprecedented in history!
After all, as the God of War is the strongest combat force in the country's army, how can he be easily overtaken?
However, all these were just rumors from the outside world, and Shi Xinrong did not believe them.
But today, he experienced it personally.
"Suzaku, you are my subordinate now, and you are actually helping Chen Qi, a thief, to deal with me. Do you want to rebel?"
Shi Xinrong glared at Suzaku and scolded angrily.
Suzaku looked indifferent, "My life was given by the Dragon Lord, so I will naturally obey his orders."
"As for you, you are arrogant, care for your own selfish desires, disregard the safety of your men, and have no regard for life. It's okay for a commander like you not to listen."
