Chapter 291 Is it an illusion or reality?
Soon, the middle-aged man arrived at Lin Que and the others' side.
"Hello, Marshal!"
Everyone stood up and greeted them.
Then, at the middle-aged man's signal, they all sat back down in their seats.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man also sat down with the others.
Seeing this, Lin Que asked in surprise, "May I ask what brings the Commander here to see us?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man first glanced at Zhang Mengde beside him, then smiled and said to Lin Que, "A new team has been formed in the military camp."
"We are currently short of an army commander."
"I'd like you to be the commander of this unit. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, including the soldiers and guards around them.
"Commander!"
"Isn't this a bit too..."
One of the guards standing behind the middle-aged man couldn't help but speak up anxiously.
But before he could finish speaking, the man from Central South China waved his hand, interrupting him.
Without uttering any further words or paying attention to the shocked crowd, the middle-aged man still looked at Lin Que with a smile, waiting for his answer.
"how?"
The middle-aged man spoke again.
Unlike the others, Lin Que's expression was not one of shock. Instead, he calmly asked, "Why does the Commander-in-Chief think I am qualified to serve as the army commander?"
"Besides, even if I agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public."
"Why don't you let him be the army commander instead of the general?"
After saying that, Lin Que pointed to Zhang Mengde, who looked completely bewildered, beside him.
Lin Que knew that the military camp was a place that valued merit and achievements, and they had just entered the military camp and did not have any outstanding achievements.
If he were to become the army commander now, he would absolutely not be able to gain the support of the people.
But if I had to choose one of them, it would have to be Zhang Mengde.
The reason is simple: Zhang Mengde's performance last night has already earned everyone's respect, and it is believed that if he were to become the army commander, no one else would have any objections.
After all, Lin Que could tell from the eyes of the soldiers and guards around him that when he mentioned letting Zhang Mengde take the position, they were very upset.
The tense look in everyone's eyes immediately relaxed.
To everyone's surprise, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "I had considered him before, but based on my observations last night and just now..."
"Although he was brave and fearless, unfortunately he was not cut out to lead an army."
"After all, war is not a game for one person."
"Among your group, only you have the potential to lead the team to victory in this game."
"It's because I can see that you have a natural leader's aura, which makes people unable to resist getting close to you and making you the center of their world."
"Didn't you notice it yourself?"
"Among your group, everyone spontaneously listens to your opinions and revolves around you."
"And there was no conflict whatsoever, which is something that not everyone can do."
These words stunned everyone!
At this moment, Feng Wudao and Su Yuyan couldn't help but have a strange thought pop into their heads.
Yup!
It seems that, just as the middle-aged man said, I don't know when it started, but as long as Lin Que is by my side, I feel at ease and don't need to think about anything else.
This idea is strange, but it's true.
Even Murong Yuheng, Qiao Jinfeng, and Nangong Qing were the same; they had known Lin Que for only a short time, yet they were able to trust him unconditionally.
It's as if he possesses a unique, invisible charm that draws them in, making them feel completely relaxed!
As for the Liu brothers, they've had this habit for a long time, so they don't deny it.
Chen Jiuge, on the other hand, always appeared lazy and didn't want to think too much. Given his indifferent attitude, he figured it would be better to leave all the troublesome and thoughtful matters to Lin Que, and he would just need to step in at the crucial moment.
As for Zhang Mengde... well, no need to say more!
After all, under normal circumstances, when he gets scared, he will act according to the signals of Lin Qing'er and her sister, as well as Lin Que.
"is it?"
"Why don't I think so?"
Lin Que muttered a few words under his breath, leaving the middle-aged man speechless!
Perhaps this is what happens when you're not involved in the situation, so you can't see things clearly.
After thinking for a moment...
Lin Que replied with a smile, "I'm willing to serve as the army commander, but I have one condition."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded.
"you say!"
"I will only serve as the commander of our group's army. As for the commander of the new army that you mentioned, please find someone else," Lin Que continued. "Furthermore, I need you to grant us a certain degree of freedom."
"I can guarantee that we men are no worse than any army!"
"No problem! I agree to all your requests!" As soon as Lin Que finished speaking, the middle-aged man agreed without hesitation, which surprised Lin Que.
After a moment, Lin Que shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So you had already predicted that I would fall into a new pit, and the old pit was just a smokescreen."
"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man burst into laughter: "Wasn't it because I was afraid you wouldn't be willing to put in the effort?"
"Now look what's happened. With so many eyes watching, it's too late for you to back out now."
"Anyway, I already know what you're thinking. As long as you're willing to do your part for the military, that's fine."
"Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
"Hahaha!"
After saying this, the middle-aged man laughed and stood up, then walked out of the tent with his bodyguards.
It turned out that he had already calculated that Lin Que would definitely not agree to serve as the commander of the new army. After all, Lin Que's achievements were not enough to convince the people, so the middle-aged man settled for second best.
The middle-aged man was afraid that Lin Que and his group hadn't come to the military camp with genuine sincerity.
So now he's relieved and at ease.
After the middle-aged man left, Lin Que had another question in his mind!
Is this the real world or an illusion?
If it were an illusion, it would be fine, but if it were the real world, Lin Que and his group would undoubtedly be strangers to the military camp.
Why did the military camp have no doubts about their identities, and why did the middle-aged man trust them unconditionally? Shouldn't they have investigated their backgrounds first to see if they were enemy spies?
That's truly unbelievable!
Thinking about this, Lin Que wanted to immediately overturn his new guess.
Anyway, he's really stressed right now.
But a moment later, Lin Que immediately shook his head.
Forget it, let's not think about it too much for now. Maybe we'll understand after we deal with the orcs.
This time!
Feng Wudao suddenly asked Lin Que with a puzzled look, "You said you'd only be the army commander for our group, does that mean the subsequent operations will only involve a few of us?"
"Then how are you going to lead us to deal with the orc army? You have to understand that in terms of numbers, the few of us are no match for the orc army at all."
"Are you going to rely on... forever?"
As he spoke, Feng Wudao gestured towards Zhang Mengde with his lip.
Seeing this, Lin Que knew what he wanted to express, but he just smiled and shook his head.
"Not really!"
"I have my own way, Joe, don't you think?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Qiao Jinfeng with puzzled eyes.
"what?"
"Why are you all looking at me?"
"Brother Lin, I didn't know!"
Qiao Jinfeng looked completely bewildered.
"Hey hey hey!"
"You'll know!"
At this moment, Lin Que's smile became mysterious...
