My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1926: Outstanding

Yiyi’s heart ached, her eyes reddened, and tears nearly rolled down.

Feeling that she could no longer stand it here, she turned and ran out of the conference room.

...

For several consecutive days, the strong assault launched by the Aus Empire and the United Army of Yalan Country left the rebels utterly defeated, and at this critical moment, the Aus Empire voluntarily proposed negotiations to the rebels, saying that as long as they were willing to surrender, the conditions could be discussed.

The senior figures on the rebels’ side were no fools; the war situation was extremely unfavorable for them, and persisting would only lead to even worse outcomes. Since the other side was willing to propose negotiations, it was equivalent to giving them a way out. If they did not agree at this time, the consequences might be unimaginable.

So, a day later, both sides announced a ceasefire agreement, deciding to end the months-long civil war.

This war caused significant losses to Yalan Country, but for the Aus Empire and Eagle Country, who intervened in the war, there were considerable interests.

And in this war, the most eye-catching element was the birth of a legendary hero of the Aus Army, who was none other than the son of the controversial yet revered Councilman of the Aus Empire—Helian Ling Kong.

He became famous overnight, emerging as the most outstanding star of this war, making people worldwide recognize this rising star! His charm, his bravery, his strategy were all extraordinary and impeccable, making him a god-like presence among the younger generation of military talents and not at all inferior to those seasoned generals.

And his handsome and charming appearance, along with his prominent status, further made him an idol-like, captivating figure.

Now he is even more popular and illustrious than world-class stars.

"How is your health? Your performance today truly impressed me; now the world’s eyes are all on you." The tone of the Grand Councilman on the phone was unmistakably proud and delighted.

For the exceptional performance of this adopted son, he hadn’t felt this gratified and joyful in a long time.

Ling Kong, as the center of attention this time, showed no particular feeling towards his sudden rise to fame, nor was he conceited or narcissistic; on the contrary, he remained incredibly calm and collected, as though he was not the decisive hero of this event.

In fact, he did not hold the so-called honor and merit in high regard.

He was always self-confident, feeling that such an achievement was not that remarkable.

"There’s nothing wrong with my health. This time’s operation, at least, achieved the intended goals, allowing me to firmly establish my footing in this war and achieve results that make people dare not question my capabilities. I think afterward, my military rank can be elevated to the rank of Major General, and I can assume important positions within the military. This plays a considerably important role in infiltrating the military and political sectors. With you and I working in tandem, controlling both state power and military power tightly, perhaps no one else in the Aus Empire could rival us."

The Grand Councilman nodded and then said, "I heard you suggested that the ceasefire negotiations should take place in Eagle Country; how did you suddenly decide this?"

"I want them to understand that although they contributed less to this war, taking advantage isn’t as easy as it seems. Also, you must be aware of the rumors about the stash of weapons they unearthed in the southern part of Yalan Country. This time, my goal is to find out if what they got their hands on is indeed that rumored troublesome batch of weapons."

(Recently, I haven’t been feeling well, and it’s not just the kidney stones, so updates might be infrequent going forward.)
