Chapter 826

Gu Chen became the deputy commander of the Zhan Lang Army and settled down on Planet Zhan Lang.

Because of the evenly matched battle with Commander Xu, his prestige in the army increased greatly.

The news that he had broken Xu Yan's record on the trial planet by nearly ten times spread like wildfire. In just a few days, everyone in the army recognized him as the next commander.

Ren Zhongfei's punishment was quickly passed down. Not only was he removed from his position as deputy commander, his treatment in the army was halved.

What was worth mentioning was that Long Yun had been promoted and appointed as a chiliarch. He was assigned to Gu Chen as an adjutant, and for the first time, he enjoyed the same treatment as a deputy commander!

Gu Chen was the deputy commander and was in charge of ten thousand soldiers. There were a total of ten chiliarchs under him. Long Yun becoming his adjutant meant that his position was only slightly lower than the deputy commander's.

His position was slightly lower than the deputy commander's, but his treatment was the same as the deputy commander's. Anyone with a discerning eye could immediately tell that Xu Yan had the intention to nurture Long Yun. He would be the next deputy commander after Gu Chen!

This immediately caused a subtle change in the situation in the Zhan Lang Army. The two veteran deputy commanders who were still in their positions felt a sense of danger. They were afraid that they would end up like Ren Zhongfei and be kicked out of the position of deputy commander.

After all, there could only be three deputy commanders at most. There would only be fewer, not more!

As recruits and young people, Gu Chen and Long Yun's promotions greatly encouraged the younger generation of the Zhan Lang Army. Many ambitious people tried to join Gu Chen's command, hoping that by following him, they would have more chances to be promoted in the future.

As a result, the Zhan Lang Army formed two factions. One belonged to the energetic new generation, while the other belonged to the stable conservative faction.

Xu Yan allowed the two factions to compete with each other while he became a hands-off shopkeeper and cultivated in seclusion all day long.

For the first few days after Gu Chen arrived on Planet Zhan Lang, he realized that as a deputy commander, he did not need to take part in ordinary missions. Therefore, he was actually very idle, so he followed Xu Yan's example and went into seclusion to cultivate.

As for the battle between the two factions on Planet Zhan Lang, he chose to ignore it.

This was clearly Xu Yan's doing. He wanted to increase the vitality of the War Wolf Celestial Army, using their sense of crisis to strengthen the army.

He didn't expose this play, but he also didn't take the initiative to join in. In terms of fanaticism towards cultivation, he wasn't the least bit inferior to Xu Yan.

Gu Chen originally thought that his days on the Battle Wolf Star were quite leisurely. He didn't expect that just ten days after becoming the deputy commander, he would receive a big mission!

Early in the morning, Xu Yan solemnly gathered the three vice commanders and the chiliarchs to announce a weighty piece of news.

"According to orders from above, we have one day to gather our troops and head for the Silver Worm Planet!"

"Why are we going there?" The two veteran deputy commanders who knew about the Silver Worm Planet were stunned.

"Our superiors have ordered us to destroy the Silver Bug Planet and exterminate the Silver Blood God Clan!" Xu Yan's eyes turned cold.

When they heard this, it wasn't just the two Vice Commanders, all the Captains were visibly moved, and they discussed animatedly.

"Declare war on the Silver Blood God Clan? Although they are only a small God Clan, they are still a force of the Divine Realm. In all these years, when has our Ancient Heaven ever had such a large-scale military operation? "

"This matter is unusual. Could it be that our Ancient Heaven is no longer lying dormant and is going to come out again?"

Apart from new recruits like Gu Chen and Long Yun, everyone was very familiar with the nature of the missions that the Heavenly Soldiers usually carried out.

It could be said that most of their operations were carried out in secret. A mission like this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Commander Xu, did the superiors say to seal off the news after the Silver Blood God Clan is destroyed? Is this a secret operation, or is there no need to worry? "

Vice Commander Fang Henian asked. He was even older than Xu Yan, and could be said to be the most senior person in the War Wolf Celestial Army.

He had always been meticulous, and he directly asked the key question.

"The superiors' intention is that this operation should not be discovered, and that it should be carried out as quickly as possible. But considering the uniqueness of the Silver Blood God Clan, they did not force us," Xu Yan replied.

His words caused Fang Henian's eyes to tremble, and Gu Chen also became pensive.

He did not understand how powerful the Silver Blood God Clan was, but since the Ancient Heaven did not care much about the exposure of this operation, it meant that they were prepared for the retaliation of the Divine Realm.

There had to be a reason why the Ancient Heaven, which had been lying dormant for so many years, had suddenly become so radical!

"Alright, as Heavenly Soldiers, we are only responsible for following orders. As for other matters, don't ask too much. Here is all the information on the Silver Worm Planet. Each of you take a copy and study it carefully.

"Remember, the army will set out in one day. Anyone who causes trouble will be dealt with according to military law!"

Xu Yan left after saying this, leaving behind a large pile of jade slips.

Everyone present received the jade slips, but they were in no hurry to leave. Instead, they gathered together in groups to discuss the matter.

"Deputy Commander Gu, this mission is not simple. This old man has been in the Warwolf Celestial Army for so long, but I have never seen such a large force."

An elderly chiliarch in Gu Chen's camp spoke up.

His name was Zhao Fu, and he had extremely high seniority in the army, not much inferior to Deputy Commander Fang Henian. However, because he had been seriously injured in his early years, his cultivation had stagnated, and he had not been promoted for many years.

After Gu Chen became the deputy commander, he had been assigned to the latter's banner. Because of his vast experience and knowledge, he had been made a strategist.

At this moment, Gu Chen and the other nine chiliarchs were gathered together, listening to his analysis of the operation.

"Although the Silver Blood God Clan can only be considered a small clan among the All-Heavens God Clans, they have a terrifying backer — the Wilderness God Clan."

"The Wilds God Clan is a famous and powerful race in the Divine Realm. In the Milky Way Star Field, they can be considered a hegemon. They have circled a large star path and call themselves the Desolate Realm.

"And the Silver Bug Planet is one of the one hundred satellites of the Desolate Realm, protecting the main planet of the Wilds God Clan. To put it bluntly, they are the watchdogs of the Wilds God Clan. Therefore, if the Ancient Heaven attacks there, it will most likely provoke the Wilds God Clan! "

Zhao Fu's words caused the chiliarchs' hearts to tremble. Did this mean that they would not only have to face the forces of the Silver Bug Planet, but also the incomparably powerful Wilds God Clan?

A ripple appeared in Gu Chen's heart when he heard the relationship between the Silver Blood God Clan and the Wilds God Clan.

He recalled the inheritance left behind by the Vine Progenitor, the life mark sealed between his eyebrows.

Over the past five years, the life mark had constantly surged with vitality, nourishing his flesh and blood.

The Vine Progenitor's inheritance played a huge role in the continuous improvement of his Tyrant Physique, even surpassing the Immortal Physique cultivated by a thousand-year split soul.

The Vine Progenitor once said that he and the Wilds God Clan were fated to have an inextricable karma.
