If it were just Lin Su alone, he could still get promoted, but that would undoubtedly be much slower than having someone to cooperate and help.
"Are you sure?" asked the commander of the First Legion.
"I'm sure that we got wrong information and broke directly into the Zerg's nest. We immediately sent out a distress signal, but no one came to support us," said Lin Su.
No one came to support because the signal was not sent out at all.
"So after you dealt with those Zergs, you thought it might be a problem with the transmitter. Why didn't you think that the Second Legion deliberately didn't support it?" The commander of the First Legion looked at him and asked.
Lin Su met his scrutinizing gaze without avoiding it: "I believe in the soldiers of the empire."
He seemed to have fortitude engraved in his bones, and he had a spirit of rather breaking than bending. He didn't quite understand the politics, but soldiers themselves needed this kind of spirit, instead of playing word and conspiracy games like those politicians in parliament every day.
"Lin Su, you are an excellent soldier. Even I would have found it difficult to survive facing so many Zerg in my early years." The First Legion Commander stood up and walked in front of him. "Bruno has been arrested by the military court. The evidence is irrefutable. Even though you are on the side of justice, you cannot return to the Second Legion."
"Is it because of Commander Brian?" Lin Su asked.
"Yes," said the First Legion commander. "While speaking ill of others behind their backs isn't a good habit, Brian isn't very broad-minded. Going it alone, you might get stuck. I intend to have you join the First Legion. The merit you've achieved in killing so many Zerg this time is enough to earn you a promotion to Major General."
Although it was an exception, no one would object after seeing such a battle.
"Thank you very much for your protection." Lin Su looked at him and said, "But I want to return to the Second Legion."
The commander of the First Legion frowned and said, "Lin Su, you must know that soldiers can only serve the empire and protect the people if they are alive."
"Yes, I understand." Lin Su looked at him and said, "But after this incident, I have clearly realized one thing. When there are termites in the legion, it is possible for it to collapse on its own without the need for the Zerg. I want to be the one to eliminate the termites."
There is fortitude in his eyes, but also ambition, and he may become more than just a dependent.
The commander of the First Legion suddenly smiled and said, "Only you?"
"I want to cooperate with you," Lin Su said, looking at him. "Perhaps my current position is not suitable for discussing cooperation with you, but one day I will be at a high enough level."
"No, you're qualified." An Bingde pressed his shoulder and said, "Your outstanding combat ability will make you a role model for all those who aspire to become soldiers. After Bruno's sentencing by the military court, I'll build momentum for you so Brian won't dare do anything to you in the short term."
"Thank you." Lin Su said.
"Do your job well, I have confidence in you." An Bingde said.
The cooperation between the two families was thus reached, but it was only a verbal agreement. This meant that if Lin Su remained silent, he would most likely no longer be able to get help from the An family. Only by casting a wide net could he catch a big fish. There was nothing wrong with the An family's approach, and Lin Su was only temporarily taking advantage of the situation to prevent the other party from acting rashly.
When he has enough power, the cooperation between them will become stronger.
The fact that Lin Su was sent back to the Second Legion almost surprised the other legion commanders, including Brian.
The military court took Bruno away without hesitation. In a few days, he would wait for the verdict, and then the result would be decided. But this did not prevent him from hating Lin Su's existence, because the excellence he showed now made him a blind general in the eyes of others.
But this was just the emotion in his heart. Brian had already prepared for Lin Su to leave, but when he planned to stay with him, he realized that he currently had no way to deal with this annoying person. He couldn't even be too harsh on him, otherwise he would be considered as retaliating.
Now that the outcome is uncertain, he even asks him for help. As long as this only survivor can testify for Bruno, his son's life can be saved.
"Lin Su, you did a great job in the battle of Nabuber this time, but you have to believe that Bruno didn't mean it. He was just eager to save people. The messenger delivered the wrong message, which is why he entrusted you with such an important task." Brian stood up and walked in front of Lin Su and said, "You are all colleagues in the Second Legion. If you are willing, I can make you a major general, or even higher."
"Captain, you've led troops against the Zerg before, so you know how it feels to watch your comrades being slaughtered and eaten by the Zerg." Lin Su looked at him and said, "Captain, if he's wrong, he's wrong. You can't put the blame on anyone else. I won't forgive him, nor can I forgive him on behalf of those who died on the battlefield. He will definitely die."
"Lin Su!" Brian was a little irritated by his tone. "Don't be so unreasonable."
"Captain, do you know why Bruno targeted me? Because I found out that he stole other people's military merits and wanted to steal mine. I told him that if it happens again, I will definitely send him to a military court." Lin Su said.
This was the original body's experience. He was a graduate of the orthodox Imperial Military Academy. He was tough in his bones and could not tolerate filth and oppression of his colleagues. If such a person had a good boss, he would definitely be able to achieve his ideals, but he encountered the worst situation.
All of these things were what Lin Su hated the most, because military merits were earned by others at the cost of their lives, and comrades were people you could trust with your back or even your life on the battlefield, but that person snatched them away easily and let others die without any burden.
"I will submit all his crimes to the military court and make it impossible for him to survive." Lin Su looked at Brian and chuckled.
His eyes, originally like cold stars, revealed the desolation of the night, but now his smile carried a hint of contempt.
Brian had an inexplicable feeling that what he wanted most now was not Bruno's life, but his.
"Lin Su, you will regret going against me today." Brian was not brought up to be intimidated. He had also come out of countless battles. However, in order to maintain the absolute control of the Amos family in the Second Legion, there were some things that had to be done.
"You will also regret that you have disappointed so many people for your own selfish desires." Lin Su saluted him, then turned and left.
