MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel

Chapter 350 - Lieutenant General

Rudra was surprised to see the lieutenant general title for two main reasons

1) It belonged to Karna in his past life . The guy became the lieutenant general after playing the game for 3 years at peak of tier 3!

2)The road to accumulating enough merits to be promoted in the military was massive. You needed to have a life of a soldier , go on missions to slowly make ur way up from soldier to party leader to squadron leader to captain to commodore to major to lieutenant to finally a general.

Yet here Rudra was , not a day spent at the military , being promoted to the post of lieutenant!

Being a lieutenant meant that he had a lot of special privilages now , one being the absolute control of the first division of the Royal army ! He could potentially station troops within Purplehaze city now. Instead of the Greenwater military base.

He would gain the highest level of access for the military special shops and restricted areas inside Hazelgroove kingdom! State secret technology , blueprints and testing facilities would now all fall in his lap.

This was massive for Rudra who was preparing for an eventual war with the Triads , the Defense of Purplehaze city would have a definite one- up! However the most important point for him to currently consider was the fact that what was the attatched string to this problem .... What was the responsibility that came along with the power?

Rudra instantly became cautious , as he looked across the room. Bannermen holding flags of their own countries were lined up in the hall . Rudra saw the flag of Nineclouds Kingdom , Ghost kingdom , Aquahose Kingdom . NPC kingdom of Dwarves , NPC kingdom of lizardmen , and finally NPC kingdom of Elves.

Ruby was in the courtroom , with a slight tear in her eye , as she looked towards Rudra , probably because of the cast and the injury . For a moment Rudra's heart wrenched inside his chest, as he saw that drop of tear form in her eye , he never felt soo powerless or soo frustrated in one single moment as he did right now , but there was also some joy , the joy of seeing her ..... She was here!

But knowing how he could not linger her gaze over her too much longer , Rudra forced himself to focus on his shoe , as he started to analyze it in great detail ' what a wonderful shoe , what artistic design , what great tear like gems ... Tears .... Nonono what Ruby like gems ... Ruby... Have a grip , have a grip , calm! '. Rudra thought .

Then Rudra thought of the most sobering thing he could think of , the ugly Loli Hao Mi , and instantly he was able to regain control over his self. His expression returned to being blank and expressionless as he walked towards the Emperor.

Approaching the throne , Rudra took a knee as he greeted his majesty " Your humble subject greets your emminence.?I am blessed to see you healthy and on your throne ".

Cervantez smiled and gestured him to rise.?Only then did Rudra notice Patricia standing right below the throne , as she gave him a wink.

Emperor Cervantez said " How are your injuries , Mayor Shakuni ".

Rudra immediately understood the underlying meaning behind the question..... There was a clear line he drew with addressing him as the mayor of Purplehaze city and not as the Honorary bishop of the church.

Rudra sighed internally but did not let it show on the surface , as he said " Better your majesty , the church took good care of me ".

Cardinal Lee and Archbishop Peter beamed at this reply , Rudra had decided to side with the Church.

Emperor Cervantez raised an eyebrow and chuckled as he said " Well I need to thank Cardinal Lee for this then ".

Cardinal Lee bowed and replied " honorary bishop is a truly gifted and treasured personnel favoured by the goddess , it was our duty to help him ".

Emperor Cervantez said " Honorary Bishop Shakuni , I spent a great amount of time with General Patricia Won Knight , who speaks In length about your valor and a tactical mind unlike any other. I naturally value talent , and for the merit of helping me out of my prison , I decided to award you with the Post of Lieutenant of First Division of Royal Forces.

Ofcourse you may choose to accept or decline this post , however if you choose to accept , know that you will need to answer the call of war , when required , and the call will come , because I need good leaders who can drive our forces through the heart of enemy lines" .

Rudra had nothing to think about here as he said " It Is my honor to serve your emminence ".

At the decisive reply of Rudra , Emperor Cervantez smiled , this was an ideal quality of a soldier in command , deciciveness , if he would have said he needed time to think over the choice , it would have resulted in a lower evaluation from emperor Cervantez !

Cervantez said " Good , take your place in the court , lieutenant , today is an important session ".

And an important session it was !?With emperor Cervantez reaching tier 5 , the balance of power had started to shift.... Hazelgroove kingdom was stronger than before and may take this chance to expand its boundries!

Those kingdoms which were present in the courtroom today were here only to figure out one thing , what was Hazelgroove's stance going to be towards foreign aggression?

Yesterday they had arrived to the capital , and recieved the news that the Emperor had successfully promoted himself to tier 5 in the period of absence there was when everyone assumed him to be dead.

Many questions were raised as to what happened to Prince Aman , but the official stance that Hazelgroove officials were asked to take was that he was currently undergoing secluded training.

That Aman did not usurp the throne and that Emperor Cervantez was thought dead. Everyone suspected the legitimacy of the story , however noone could call the Hazelgroove officials outright liars , could they?

However the shock that everyone got regarding the king being promoted to tier 5 was massive enough for everyone to forget about everything else.

The impending question now was ... What would Hazelgroove kingdom do?

Even Rudra was anxious to know ..... Just how would the game change now that Cervantez was tier 5 and on the throne of Hazelgroove?
