I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Chi Xiao leaned to the side and nudged Qin Zhenshan's ribs with his elbow.

"Old Qin."

"Did you figure something out? Those three on stage seem to be really being held back by this kid."

"I have to admit, this kid's got a knack for making empty promises; even I'm tempted."

Qin Zhenshan didn't turn his head, but sighed.

"What Shen Tian just said, if you were to say it aloud, it would be like drawing a pie in the sky."

"If it came from Shen Tian, ​​it would be a lifesaver."

Qin Zhenshan knew exactly what was going on.

The Tian Shu Bureau needs border stability, Wuhan University needs high combat survivability, and the Tian Gong Division needs advanced materials.

Shen Tian's move effectively put all three families' lifelines in his grasp.

But this is a huge matter, and when it comes to making a decision, whoever speaks first will be at a disadvantage.

The bigwigs on stage are training the eagles.

The younger generation is already going crazy from being cooped up for so long.

Gu Jian sat to the side and slightly behind Yan Jinghan, his bottom feeling as if it were sitting on burning charcoal.

The entire territory was pacified in a year?

If someone else had said that, Gu Jian would have spat in their face.

But when Shen Tian said it, Gu Jian felt his blood rush to his head. He didn't consider any conflicts of interest, resource allocation, or political checks and balances at all.

He had only one thought in his mind: Shen Tian is going to take us flying!

Gu Jian frantically gave Yan Jinghan meaningful glances, his eyelids twitching rapidly.

Yan Jinghan caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of his eye.

He, who usually seemed quite clever, now looked like a complete idiot eager to sell himself off while helping the seller count the money.

What's the worst thing to do at the negotiating table? Revealing your hand.

With your pathetic, desperate look, how am I supposed to lower the price?

Chu Feng on the other side was even more exaggerated.

He leaned half his body over the edge of the chair, frantically gesturing to Gu He under the table.

Spread your five fingers and grab hard.

It means: Take it! Take it now!

Gu He, who was initially maintaining a composed demeanor, was now completely taken aback by Chu Feng's actions, his beard bristling.

That idiot.

This kid has completely disgraced the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

Someone throws out bait, and you swallow the hook too? You think you've swallowed it deep enough?

The two old men tacitly looked away, pretending not to have seen their apprentice's disgraceful behavior.

Lu Changming sat in the main seat, observing everything with a cold eye.

He's more shrewd than anyone else when it comes to calculating things.

Shen Tian wanted military power, resources, and official recognition.

To give or not to give?

Lu Changming's gaze fell on Shen Tian's file. This was a top-secret document that Tianxuan Division had sent overnight before the meeting.

My father, a frontline guard in Jiangcheng, died in battle.

My mother, a logistics medic, died when the city was breached by alien beasts.

There are no complicated family marriages, and no secret shareholdings by powerful conglomerates.

Clean and tidy.

It's like a blank sheet of paper with only two words written on it: slaughter.

Once those scions of powerful families gain control of a large army, their first priority is to secure benefits for their families and carve out territory for them.

They treat their soldiers as bargaining chips in the struggle for power and profit.

But Shen Tian is different. He fought his way up from the bottom of Jiangcheng, and his hatred for alien beasts is etched into his very bones.

This kind of person, if you give him enough knives, he will keep slashing until he cuts himself or his enemy to pieces.

Is the risk high? Extremely high. If it gets out of control, it's a powder keg.

Is the benefit significant? Significant enough to reshape the entire defensive structure of Tianyun Prefecture, and even push back into the wilderness.

"Shen Tian".

Lu Changming's voice broke the deathly silence of the meeting room.

"Take the head of the Tian Shu Bureau's personal guards."

"I support you in building an iron army."

"But I can only give you military command of two garrisons for now; you can choose any two garrisons you like."

"In an emergency, you may also temporarily mobilize the military power of the eight garrison cities."

A hammer is fixed.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Lu Changming has already placed his bet.

Yan Jinghan and Gu He exchanged a glance.

Gu Jian, who was behind him, gasped for breath in anxiety.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yan Jinghan turned around and glared fiercely at Gu Jian before turning to look at Shen Tian.

"Longyuan Martial Arts University over here."

Yan Jinghan's voice was somewhat deep.

"You'll be the vice-principal. As for the students, I'll ask for their opinions and act accordingly."

"The resource library is now open to you."

Not to be outdone, Guhe made the decision immediately.

"I have nothing to say. If you want, the Heavenly Crafts Bureau is yours."

Shen Tian nodded and cast grateful glances at the various bigwigs.

But he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, and now it was their turn to make demands.

Lu Changming was the first to speak.

"But there are three conditions."

"As the head of the Lord's personal guards, you may choose to bring the Po Jun Division troops of two garrison cities under your command."

"But I'll only cover their logistical support for one month."

"After one month, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

This is called a weaning test.

We'll provide you with start-up capital, but we won't keep idle people around.

To test Shen Tian's ability as a commander-in-chief.

Yan Jinghan followed up with his own words.

"After each major battle, the casualty rate was less than 30 percent."

Guhe gently shook his head.

"I have nothing to say."

"You can use the foundation from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau as you see fit."

The entire audience was stunned, and Chu Feng stared wide-eyed from behind.

This is the layout!

This is the vision of our Tiangong Division!

"I have only one request."

"No matter how fiercely you kill outside, no matter how many soldiers you lead."

"Don't forget you're still wearing the badge of the Weapon Foundry Guild."

"Don't let your weapon-forging and crafting skills go to waste."

"Take a trip back to Tiangongsi when you have time."

Shen Tian looked at Gu He, his eyes filled with gratitude.

The old man then laid out all his savings without making any further requests.

"Please rest assured, Elder Gu."

"I, Shen Tian, ​​will definitely not let you down!"

He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the three bigwigs on the stage.

He accepted the conditions set by the three men.

The hall erupted in thunderous applause! This was accompanied by even more enthusiastic discussion!

"The three big shots actually all agreed!"

"What's this? Tianyun Prefecture has been a city for hundreds of years, when has anything like this ever happened?"

"The military power of the Po Jun Division, the talent pool of Wu Da University, and the arsenal of the Tian Gong Division are all in the hands of a seventeen-year-old boy!"

Zhao Kuang still found it unbelievable.

How come the whole Tianyun Prefecture has changed after just one performance review meeting?

The change was so rapid that he couldn't accept it for a while!

The town magistrate rubbed his temples, feeling like he was dreaming about today's meeting.

The town garrison commander of Yancheng was keeping a close eye on Shen Tian, ​​plotting how to send his son to Shen Tian to get some prestige.

Anyone with eyes can see that, although the lord said he would only provide logistical support for one month, it's obvious to everyone.

This is the highest-ranking army in the history of Tianyun Prefecture.

At the beginning of the army's formation, the chief of the prefectural lord's personal guards took command, Wu Da provided elite troops, and the Tiangong Division handled all the equipment.

This lineup is absolutely amazing!

Qin Zhenshan picked up his teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.

The tea flowed down my throat and into my stomach, feeling warm and comforting.

He turned his head and looked at Chixiao.

"Our Jiangcheng is really going to produce a dragon that can pierce the sky this time."

Chi Xiao grinned.

"Let's leave our Jiangcheng behind."

"He's the master of Tianyun Prefecture now."

"But we're really clinging to this powerful figure."

Gu Jian was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands together.

Become!

Students at Wuhan University no longer have to be blank line dolls; by following this killing god, they'll gain both practical experience and military merit!

We need to quickly notify our team to go find Shen Tian to get an internship certificate!

Chu Feng's face was flushed, and his eyes were full of hope!

Finally, the problem of resource shortage at Tiangong Division can be solved!

Lu Changming stood up, ignoring the noise from the audience.

The oppressive aura of the seventh rank swept across the entire venue once again, forcefully silencing all the discussions.

"Now that the terms have been agreed upon..."

Lu Changming looked down at Shen Tian.

Which two acropolises do you want?

Shen Tian raised his head and scanned the eight town garrison commanders.

The eyes of the various garrison commanders all revealed hope; following Shen Tian, ​​they were sure to live a life of luxury!

However, the prefect has only granted Shen Tian military command over two garrison cities for the time being.

As for which two acropolises?

Is there even a need to think about it?

Naturally, Jiangcheng and Fengcheng were the first to latch onto Shen Tian's coattails!

Thinking of this, the garrison commanders couldn't help but drool with envy.

Why didn't I meet Shen Tian sooner!

Shen Tian held up two fingers.

"Windy City, River City".
