Chapter 133: Bestowing the Title of Commanding Genral
He got up from the bed and put on his robe and the next moment he approached Diya again.
"Take care, love. I will see you soon, until then, work hard in your training. I am looking forward to coming back again." Yohan kissed Diya on her forehead, she was in a deep sleep after the tiresome night she had spent with Yohan and her body was already at its limit after getting a breakthrough in the Body Strengthening realm.
Yohan smiled as he looked at Diya and the next moment he left the room.
"Grandpa told me that he is going to meet me at the entrance of the Lin city, so the time has finally come, huh," Yohan mumbled as he left the Lin clan.
Meanwhile…
Two figures could be seen standing in the sky and they were looking towards the ground where thousands of figures were present and their gazes were on these two.
"Arjun, is everyone here?" The old man Lin looked at Arjun as he said those words. Last night, he had already asked Arjun to gather everyone from the elite force of the Lin clan, and he had given him details about Yohan. Arjun nodded towards the old man Lin in response, and the next moment he took a deep sigh as he opened his mouth.
"Master, are you sure that you want to send young master Yohan to that place? Things might be very hectic and chaotic this time." Arjun looked at the old man Lin as he said those words.
The old man smiled and nodded his head in response. He had been expecting Arjun to ask this question.
"Don't worry about him. Sooner or later this day would eventually come. He has the blood of the Lin family running through his veins and I am proud of him for taking the initiative this time. I am positive that you will look over him on the battlefield." The old man petted Arjun's shoulder as he said those words.
Arjun took a deep sigh and nodded his head in response.
"Master, you don't have to worry about him. I will protect him throughout my life," Arjun responded to the old man.
Lin smiled in response and his gaze went towards the ground where more than thousands of armed soldiers could be seen standing and waiting for instructions.
The old man Lin and Arjun were standing in the sky, while these soldiers were gathered on short notice at the River Shore city entrance. They were all confused about this gathering, but all of them remained calm and composed as they knew that everyone here was elite among elites.
Old Lin took a deep breath and looked at these soldiers of the Lin clan.
"Attention, everyone! Today you have been gathered here for a very serious issue and that issue is related to the Nichole Clan. As you all know, the Nichole clan is at war against us and now they are marching towards the Hundred Poison valley sect to take over that sect.
Their next target is Pang city after that, and they are probably going to attack the Lin clan in the near future, and here I gather you all and give you a chance to represent the Lin clan in this war. You all are going to help the Hundred Poison valley to save their sect," the old man Lin said in a domineering voice as he dictated the current issues which they were facing right now.
Hearing those words from old Lin's mouth, everyone became excited as they heard that they were chosen for this battle. Excitement and blood lust could be seen on all of these warriors' faces. After all, it had been a while since they had gone to battle alongside the old man Lin and Arjun.
These warriors hadn't participated in the last battle as the old man Lin had used his personal force and seven guardians in the last battle. These warriors were mostly assigned on the borders and finally called for on a short notice. Everyone was excited as they heard old Lin, but their excitement didn't last too long as they heard the old man Lin's next statement which took them by surprise.
"This time I am not going to lead you in this battle nor is Arjun going to lead you, he is going to be second in command this time. You have a new commander who is going to lead this battalion in this battle," the old man said.
Hearing those words, everyone was taken aback as they all exchanged glances between them. This had never happened before. Aside from the old man Lin and Arjun, no one ever commanded these soldiers. These soldiers were only reserved for war, as they belonged to the Elite Force of the Lin clan.
The whole place turned dead silent as the soldiers looked towards the old man flying into the sky. Arjun was also silent as he looked at these soldiers and their blank expressions.
"This time my grandson Yohan is going to lead you all in this war. He will be the commanding general of this battalion and I hope you will welcome him with open hearts." The old man Lin finally revealed the name of Yohan as a commanding general, and asked them to support him in this battle.
Hearing Yohan's name, everyone dropped their jaws on the ground as they heard the old man, with their expressions becoming dark and solemn after hearing the name of Yohan.
And the next moment their gaze went towards the direction of the city gate where a young man could be seen walking towards them. Old Lin and Arjun also looked towards Yohan.
"I am finally here," Yohan mumbled and his gaze went towards the sky where his grandpa and Arjun were standing and looking at him. Seeing Yohan, the old man Lin and Arjun descended on the ground.
"Grandpa, I am ready," Yohan said as he looked at the old man Lin and he gave a nod to Arjun who was looking at him with a smile.
Old Lin nodded his head in response.
"Yohan, I am giving you a right to command the elite force of the Lin clan. You know what it means, right? You are responsible for everyone's life. It's your duty and sole responsibility to look after these soldiers." The old man Lin looked at Yohan as he said those words.
Yohan nodded his head in response as he already knew that his grandpa told him that he was going to be given a battalion in this battle.
Yohan knew what his grandfather meant. One mistake by him would lead these soldiers to lose their lives. Indirectly, it was Yohan's duty to protect these warriors and bring them to victory.
Yohan nodded his head towards his grandfather as he heard his words and then the next moment he looked towards these armed soldiers who were looking at him with blank expressions. Yohan took a step towards the battalion of these soldiers.
He knew what these soldiers were thinking right now. Because of his tarnished image and personality, everyone knew that he was a good for nothing young master.
Yohan took a deep breath as he looked at these soldiers.
"My name is Yohan Lin and I am going to command all of you in this battle. This is the first time I am going to join the battlefield. I am looking forward to participating in this battle, and I promise you one thing: that I will not let anyone down, no matter how much power our enemy has, no matter how many they are in numbers, no matter who is leading them.
Trust me, I am not going to let them take over the Hundred Poison valley. I need your help. I know you all are elite soldiers of the Lin clan who have witnessed countless battles in your whole lives and served the clan with utmost dedication.
I promise that we will bring glory to our clan, and those who dare to oppose us will pay the price with their lives, so just trust me and accompany me on this venture." Yohan's voice echoed in the whole surrounding as he said those words.
His words were powerful yet domineering. His words contained the confidence he had in his strength. Everyone looked at him with confused gazes after hearing his speech.
Old Lin and Arjun also heard his words, both of them already knew that Yohan was capable and way more powerful than any of these warriors, but these soldiers didn't want to put their lives in the hands of a kid they knew as trash. Commanding an entire battalion was not an easy job, everyone present here knew this. Yohan didn't get any response from anyone, as he had expected.
He took a sigh and closed his eyes and opened them the next moment.
"I don't care what you guys think about me, and I don't care about those rumours you heard about me. We don't have any more time to waste here. If you guys want to say anything, feel free to come up and ask me, I will be delighted to answer anything," Yohan said.
