The trembling hands of Mi Mu were filled with astonishment.
How was this possible?
Her most prided strength had actually lost to someone else.
Even Mi Ye, standing by, couldn't help but be stunned.
She had never witnessed such a scene.
She knew that Chen Yu's strength was definitely above Mi Mu's, there was no doubt about that.
The complexity of Lan Feng City.
Under such circumstances, the fact that he could still fight his way out of the jungle surrounding Lan Feng City, where monsters had besieged them, to save her when she was critically wounded was telling enough.
However—
She hadn't expected Mi Mu to be so utterly defeated in terms of strength when facing Chen Yu.
She had never seen such a scene.
At least, not since she had known Mi Mu.
Mi Mu, still shaking her hand after their punch, continued to do so.
In contrast, Chen Yu remained composed, standing unmoving in his original position.
"How about it, do you want to continue?"
Mi Mu, who was shaking her hand,'s eyes widened instantly. The moment Chen Yu finished speaking, she frowned and retreated several steps, looking at Chen Yu as if he were a formidable monster.
"No!"
"I concede."
Mi Mu conceded decisively, showing no inclination to continue with Chen Yu.
The surrounding soldiers who had gathered to watch cheered and raised their arms.
"Long live Master!"
"Long live!"
Hei Lu, who had rushed back from outside after receiving news from the camp, happened to witness this scene.
"Didn't you say someone attacked the camp?"
Hei Lu, his eyes filled with confusion, looked at the fervent scene in the camp and tilted his head, looking at the general under his command.
The general scratched his head, remaining silent for a while.
"Uh..."
He was also bewildered.
When he had left the camp, that female brute was still causing trouble within the camp.
"Be more steady in your actions from now on."
Hei Lu shot a disgruntled glance at the general.
"With the boss here, who would dare cause trouble in the camp? The boss's strength is far greater than mine."
After saying this, Hei Lu, who was about to enter the camp, suddenly froze.
In his peripheral vision,
He saw Mi Ye standing unharmed in the camp.
Upon seeing her, Hei Lu's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, staring at Chen Yu in the camp, and he bolted towards Chen Yu.
"Alright, I won."
Seeing Mi Mu concede, Chen Yu shrugged and turned his gaze to the soldiers in the camp.
"This matter ends here."
"I don't want to hear anyone discussing what happened in the camp today. You all need to learn from this. This is a camp, a crucial stronghold for your entire legion."
"If you can't even defend the camp!"
"How can you be entrusted with defending Feng Qi City and Freedom City with peace of mind."
"Pull yourselves together."
"General Mi Mu's arrival was indeed timely. I know that since you followed Commander Hei Lu, you have been invincible, and your morale has become too high. Relying on your superior equipment, you believe your legion is already the elite of the cave.
"And now?"
Chen Yu scanned his surroundings. The soldiers who had been cheering moments ago, without exception, wore crestfallen expressions and slowly lowered their heads.
Chen Yu had long had his thoughts on the Hei Lu Legion.
Pride!
They had never lost since the legion was established. While their morale was high, it also nurtured arrogance.
Chen Yu had observed their training.
It was very lax!
Whether it was daily training or patrols, he couldn't feel the same sense as under Ya Bo. Chen Yu saw it but couldn't find the right time to speak about it.
Mi Mu's rampage in the camp served as a timely alarm bell for Chen Yu.
They were not invincible!
The cave was much larger than they imagined, and what they had encountered was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Before long, they might have to fight the demons.
Such laxity would cost them their lives. He could clearly see the monsters in Lan Feng City; those monsters were formidable. Even Chen Yu, with his affinity for elements in the thousands, couldn't guarantee a completely safe return when facing them.
He had to be fully focused.
If he was like this, how much more so for the soldiers in the legion.
Moreover—
A significant portion of their pride in their strength came from the Commander's Talisman.
Never mind that most of them were Gold or Silver.
Even Obsidian was abundant.
The problem was that some of their realms were bestowed upon them by the Commander's Talisman, and they also enjoyed cultivation resources that others could not.
Any legion under Chen Yu.
The funds he invested were calculated in the hundreds of millions, and their equipment were sets that were difficult to purchase even with significant wealth elsewhere.
With such investment, to achieve this result.
He was not satisfied.
Mi Mu's strength was indeed impressive, but in Chen Yu's opinion, she shouldn't have the ability to single-handedly infiltrate the legion's camp.
If she could infiltrate it.
The hundred-meter giant monster in Lan Feng City, or the Witch Gu tribe that had critically wounded Mi Ye.
What would they use to resist them?
How would they resist?
"Think about it carefully, think about the weapons in your hands, think about your loved ones behind you, and think about why you joined this legion?"
"Is it for benefits, or for protection!"
His resonant whispers reached the ears of the assembled soldiers, who remained silently with their heads bowed.
"Disperse."
Chen Yu gestured, and the soldiers dispersed.
He knew that these soldiers should have something to ponder. As for what specific changes would occur, he had done his best to awaken them. The outcome would depend on their self-awareness.
"Boss."
Only after Chen Yu finished speaking did Hei Lu, who had been waiting nearby, run over.
"You're here."
Chen Yu glanced at him and whispered.
"Just in time, you also need to properly train this camp of yours. If such a large military camp can be so easily breached by one person, how can I confidently hand over the border of Feng Qi City to you."
Although Chen Yu's words were soft.
Hei Lu could still feel immense pressure. He knew that Chen Yu was truly angry this time.
In the past, Chen Yu had never cared about these things.
Hei Lu couldn't help but look around. The fragmented remnants of battle shields on the ground caught his eye. Then, his gaze shifted to Mi Mu, who was still shaking her hand.
"Boss, don't worry, I will handle it."
"I trust your work, otherwise I wouldn't have been so uninvolved with your legion for so long," Chen Yu said softly. "But the fact that the legion's camp could be so easily breached, despite the resources and supplies I provide you, and I always prioritize your legion. Yet today, seeing such a disgraceful scene, not a single person in the entire legion could stop the intruder. If Lord Mi Ye hadn't appeared in time, what you see now wouldn't be a pile of broken battle shields, but countless corpses. I understand your laziness and your delegation of authority, but at least you should have a clear understanding of the situation, shouldn't you?"
"Yes."
Hei Lu, lowering his head silently, clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth with force.
"I promise, this will never happen again."
"Absolutely!"
