Universe’s Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 359 - 358: Regaining Military Control
Chapter 359: Chapter 358: Regaining Military Control
The Light Dragon Spaceship slowly landed on a Third-level planet.
Vice Admirals Gu Yang and Qin Feng had been waiting for a long time.
As Wang Hao and his party exited the Light Dragon, the two vice admirals hurriedly saluted, “Marshal, sir!”
Wang Hao nodded, “No need for formalities. Where are Guan Shi and his gang!?”
Gu Yang replied with a wry smile, “They haven’t arrived yet. I guess they want to give the marshal a hard time.”
“Ha-ha, my dear nephew, do you want your three uncles to stand up for you!?” Xiong Da laughed cheekily.
...
“As long as you let your uncles join the Female Corps, we promise to put those troublemakers in their place,” Xiong Er raised an eyebrow, looking like he was offering a great deal.
Xiong San spoke earnestly, “Dear nephew, just recruit your uncles into the Female Corps, and in a decade or so, your army won’t have to worry about the fighting strength of its soldiers.”
“Cough cough…”
The moment the words were spoken, everyone present choked. Could these three bears be any more shameless? This is a military camp, not a breeding ground for them.
To say they wouldn’t have to worry about the fighting strength of their soldiers in a decade or so, were they planning to let Wang Hao feed their sons out of the military provisions?
Ignoring the three bears, Wang Hao asked, “What is our army’s current combat strength?”
Seeing this, the three bears immediately grew displeased, huffed, and sat down to one side, their attitude declaring, we are very angry, and without the ladies, we definitely won’t forgive you.
Qin Feng quickly reported, “We have 10,000 standard Ace Army soldiers, five Courage Battleships, a Female Corps, and with the help of the headmaster’s name, we’ve also recruited 10,000 Third-level Mecha warriors, and I’ve also managed to sway a master from the Tianbei University rankings to our side.”
“A ranking master!?” Wang Hao asked curiously, “Who is it?”
This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.
Qin Feng nodded, “It’s senior Wang Yuheng. Hearing about the Alien Race invasion, he decided to go to the battlefield to enhance his real combat experience.”
After a moment’s thought, if Wang Hao remembered correctly, this was the ranking master who appeared when Qin Feng was beaten by Guan Tian last time.
But as the ranking master did not take action at the time, he didn’t know the extent of this person’s fighting ability.
However, making it into the Tianbei University rankings presumably meant a high level of merit.
“Buzz buzz…”
Just then, a series of huge roaring sounds came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a dozen massive battleships slowly descending, and squads of soldiers marched out in neat formation.
Although these soldiers were middle-aged and not as powerful as the younger ones, their spirit and demeanor were unmatched by the younger soldiers.
Especially that uniform stride, the stern faces, and the aura of killing intent that came with them, all indicating this was an elite army, invincible wherever directed.
Gu Yang frowned, “Are these the retired soldiers from the four major Ace Armies? This presence is terrifying.”
Qin Feng nodded gravely, “Although these veterans’ combat strength has somewhat declined, their discipline and battlefield experience are far superior to our 10,000 Ace Army soldiers. If it really came to a fight, the outcome would be hard to predict.”
“Ha-ha, Marshal Sir, it’s been a while!” Guan Shi arrived with a bunch of noble young men, but his expression was laced with undisguised scorn.
Wang Hao said indifferently, “According to wartime military orders, when a marshal issues a command, if it is not carried out, the light punishment is demotion, and the severe punishment is death without mercy. Tell me, how long have you been delayed!?”
“How long!?”
The noble youths were first startled, then burst into loud laughter.
“Wang Hao, did you just wake up!?”
“Really think you’re a Marshal, huh?”
“You’re just a nominal Marshal, the real Marshal of this legion is Mr. Guan.”
“We all listen to Mr. Guan, what are you?”
“…”
The three bears at the side also began discussing in low voices.
Xiong Da huffed and puffed, “Are we really just going to stand by and watch these guys bully the boss’s son?”
Xiong Er shook his head, “That definitely won’t do, even though Wang Hao hasn’t brought us any women, he’s still the boss’s son. How can we, as his uncles, stand by and watch him be humiliated?”
Xiong San pressed his hand down and whispered, “Don’t be hasty, let’s wait until Wang Hao is too humiliated to lift his head before we intervene. Only then will he realize he can’t do without us, and he’ll surely serve us with fine wine and beautiful women from then on.”
Xiong Da and Xiong Er nodded again and again, feeling that Xiong San made a lot of sense, they had to make Wang Hao understand how stupid it would be to lose them.
Wang Hao spoke indifferently, “I advise you not to provoke me, or I’ll slap you against the wall so hard you won’t be able to peel yourselves off.”
Hearing this, Guan Shi’s group of young scions were startled. After all, a man’s reputation precedes him; the entire interstellar federation knew how arrogant Wang Hao was. It was one thing to embarrass him a little, but to provoke him was simply asking for death.
“Cough cough…” Guan Shi coughed, “Marshal Wang Hao, we all understand our relationship, there’s no need to spell it out. I came here today to tell you that we’re going back to fight the Alien Race, but not to follow your orders.”
Wang Hao’s lips curled up, “I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed, because starting today, I’ll be taking back your military authority.”
No sooner had he spoken than the group started to mock him.
“Ha, Wang Hao must not have woken up, right?”
“These ranks were bought with our money, do you really think you can just take them back?”
“I always heard about how arrogant Wang Hao was, but today, instead of arrogance, I see idiocy.”
“Wang Hao, let us tell you, you can’t take back these ranks without the Grand Commander’s permission.”
“I think Wang Hao set this up from the start; he’s waiting for us to gather all the troops and equipment, and then turns on us like ‘throwing away the millstone after grinding.'”
“That makes sense, it would not only make him a chunk of money but also bring in equipment and soldiers without him having to lift a finger.”
“Pity, the Military Department isn’t something he can dictate; the Grand Commander wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.”
“Nice calculation, but utterly unrealistic.”
“…”
Wang Hao didn’t get angry; he just smiled faintly, “You’re right, I do intend to ‘throw away the millstone after grinding.’ Today, I will definitely take back military authority, even if Guan Xinxiong, that old turtle, turns up, he’ll just have to take his bad luck.”
Guan Shi shook his head, chuckling in disbelief, “Wang Hao, do you fail to see the situation clearly? We have the upper hand right now, what makes you think we’ll hand over military authority to you? Do you think your nickname is ‘Invincible Little Whirlwind’ or something?”
As soon as he finished, the group burst into laughter.
“What ‘Invincible Little Whirlwind,’ I say it’s ‘Invincible Scaredy-Cat Marshal.'”
“How can you talk about the Marshal like that? The nickname needs to be nice-sounding, easy to say.”
“So what should it be?”
“I think it should be ‘Little Lamb Baby!'”
“Wow haha, that’s a really catchy nickname…”
“…”
