"This matter is not related to the likes and dislikes of any random person, this matter belong to safety of the place where you born and bred, the place that helped to raise high above, if your power is to establish the Empire it will be welcomed but if could only create conflicts then it is abandoned.

If anyone has objections to this decision, challenge this girl for battle either win or die, there will be no mercy."

His words were authoritative.

Chen Hong shuddered with fear and backed several steps, he was not a match to this girl in reality only because he felt that he was senior and would be honored this seat but this seat was not necessary as his, if he wanted to avenge for his humiliation he could postpone for another opportunity.

"Alright senior Chen, do you have any other question?" Emperor asked.

There was complete silent, no one disturb the process any more.

"General Wong is here to report Dang Ming State borders; there are visible movements on the other side of borders, though we are keeping our guards up but it is possible that Xing Mu Empire is preparing for war."

Jen bowed to Emperor and said, "Because of urgent need of crucial steps, this Head Defender wished to recruit few Veteran members for help,"

Emperor was satisfied he nodded, "I suggest to Head Defender Chen Hong and senior Fang Jin as your assistant and deputy Defender because of their senior years and experience you may proceed crucial as well."

Emperor waved his hand and dismissed the court for time being and ordered his sub-ordinates to move to palace, he was satisfied with his decision.

Everybody immediately went out, Chen Hong followed behind Jen Ming, he was appointed assistant of Head Defender and he was aware why he was appointed because he objected of Emperor.

It was already a favor that he was spared from doom.

"Senior Chen I need to know how many Veteran Experts does Zhang Ming Empire have?" he hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Head Defender, there are total of fifty Veteran Expert wandering different parts of Empire, in order to address you can order them to gather at Veteran Hall or you can send direct Emperor Order which is conferred to you."

Chen Hong finished in one breath. Jen thought for a moment and spoke, "Other than East Border, third Grade three and 2nd Grade two Veteran Experts send with one incharge on west, north and south borders and remaining Veteran Experts will report to me on Veteran Hall, at Dang Ming State, send these orders immediately, got it?"

She turned toward her camp, Yellow River encampment would move tomorrow so she went to inform them that she might not follow back to Yellow River for the time being.

She reached the entrance and went inside. Because of pack up activities everyone was busy, she inquired about Third Protector but she heard a voice from behind, "Proud of Yellow River," she turned behind and there was third Protector stood Smiling.


She felt embarrassed because in front of seniors she was still a mere disciple who had not completed Advanced Imperial Class yet.

"Jen Ming pays respect to Zhi Chang third Protector," she bowed.

He was really proud to have met this girl, when first met her at Thousand Herb Mountain, she was seven years old, he felt that this girl would prove gem for Yellow River and his words came truth. He was feeling exalted at same time because it would improve the reputation of Yellow River, he was immensely happy.

"Jen prepare your luggage we are heading back to Yellow River," third Protector informed her but Jen bowed and said, "Jen is here to inform something to third Protector Zhi Chang," third Protector smiled, "What is it?" he light asked.

She respects this senior a lot so she bowed and said, "Jen Ming disciple of Yellow River is appointed Head Defender of Zhang Ming Empire and heading toward Dang Ming State leading the Veteran Army."

As soon as the words left her lips, there was sudden silence in the Yellow River encampment, not because they were shocked, these words left them simply dumbfounded.

After gathering some consciousness they surrounded Jen with agape mouths.
