Lin Mo did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned around, poured himself a bowl of hot tea, and sipped it slowly.
This made Guo Wenlong very uneasy.
He considered a hundred possibilities: beheading, hanging, being torn apart by five horses, or even the extermination of his entire family.
As a border general, he actually abandoned the border and allowed the Dos people to slaughter the people of Daxia.
Such a crime deserves to be punished even if one dies a hundred times.
After a long silence, Lin Mo spoke, "You're Guo Wenlong?"
"Your Highness, it is indeed your sinful subject!"
"Hmph, I don't want to waste my breath on you," Lin Mo said, his tone laced with anger. "Tell me, how many men do you have under your command, and what types of soldiers are they?"
"Your Highness, there are a total of 5,000 infantrymen, 1,800 archers, and 700 light cavalry!"

Seeing this, Lin Mo said, "These troops will belong to me from now on. Do you have any objections?"
Guo Wenlong was overjoyed upon hearing this. "It's just a matter of losing my military power?"
"No answer means you agree!" Lin Mo said. "From now on, you are my curtain-raising general, do you hear me?"
"The Curtain-Rolling General?!" Guo Wenlong was stunned! "What kind of position is that? I've never heard of it in my life!"
