168: Chapter 167: Captain Mu Wu Ya!_1 168: Chapter 167: Captain Mu Wu Ya!_1 “We will spare no effort and completely exhaust ourselves in service to the Gu Yuan tribe, even unto death!”

The next moment, the newly appointed Punishment Hall Elder Tie Shi, the new Changong Hall Elder Lin Shan, the new Internal Affairs Hall Elder Xiao Tan, the new head of the Hundred Herbs Shop, Mu Qing, the new head of the Dark Guardian Hall, Tie Wen, and the new head of the Guard Hall, Huang Liang, all rose to their feet in the middle of the Great Hall and received their appointments from Xiao Chen.

Among the six, Huang Liang and Tie Wen were particularly shocked.

When the Grand Elder announced the new appointments, they thought they had misheard, and were overjoyed when they finally understood.

They could hardly contain their excitement.

They had not expected Xiao Chen to entrust such important roles to them.

After all, many older tribe members had fought and shed blood for the Gu Yuan tribe, and received many honors for their efforts.

And if Xiao Chen was willing, he could easily improve their martial arts.

Xiao Chen looked kindly at the crowd from his stone chair.

Each appointment had been carefully planned.

Without exception, all appointments had been made from his own close aides, staunch supporters of Xiao Chen, vital to his control over the Gu Yuan tribe.

With these staunch supporters, the Gu Yuan tribe, under Xiao Chen’s leadership, would experience less internal strife.

The tribe’s limited resources would be better used, united against external enemies.

“The three Halls and three Chambers are the Gu Yuan tribe’s most important institutions for controlling the tribe and maintaining stability.

The elders and heads of these institutions are the pillars of the tribe.

To hold high office is not only an honor but also a heavy responsibility.

I hope you all remember that our Gu Yuan tribe, with a history of over 800 years, was built on the blood and bones of our ancestors.

As tribal elders, everything you do should be for the greater good of the tribe, to protect our people from disaster, and to ensure the survival of our Gu Yuan tribe for generations to come.”

“We accept our duties!

As members of the Gu Yuan tribe, we will do everything we can to preserve our tribe’s lineage, even if it means shedding our last drop of blood!

We will honor the will of our ancestors and protect our people, our land!”

Underneath Xiao Chen’s stone chair, the six men bowed and shouted loudly, their voices resounding throughout every corner of the Gu Yuan tribe, causing all the members of the tribe to lift their heads and gaze upon the top of the towering stone tower at the center of the tribe.

On accepting the six men’s formality, Xiao Chen reflected on how far the Gu Yuan tribe had come from the near-extinction crisis it faced just a year ago.

Through his own power, Xiao Chen had proven to the tens of thousands of members of the Gu Yuan tribe that he was capable of leading the tribe towards even greater future prosperity, and becoming the dominant power in the Great Wasteland.

Xiao Chen’s eyes were calm as he signaled for everyone to return to their places.

Looking around, he saw everyone in the Great Hall looking at him attentively.

“Grand Elder, let’s announce the new appointments for the tribe’s soldiers accordingly.”

“Very well!”

“In accordance with the Chief’s orders, the former War Soldier Commander, Ding Shan, will no longer serve in this position.

He is promoted to the rank of Centurion, overseeing a thousand soldiers.”

“Shi Ya will serve as the second Centurion, Xiao Pangkun as the third Centurion, and Huang Liang, who also heads the Guard Hall, will serve as the fourth Centurion.

As the tribe’s soldiers are not yet fully assembled, the fifth Centurion position will provisionally be held by Mu Wu Ya!”

“Mu Wu Ya!

How can it be him!”

Upon hearing the name of Mu Wu Ya from the Grand Elder, everyone’s gaze abruptly turned to Mu Wu Ya, who had been sitting amidst a group of other Centurions.

The Centurion Mu Wu Ya himself was completely taken aback, having never anticipated that Xiao Chen would issue such a command.

Xiao Pangkun, an immediate blood relative of Xiao Chen, was similar to Xiao Bangtu, who recently broke the martial arts realm with his potential.

They were both staunch supporters of Xiao Chen’s main line, so it was reasonable for Xiao Chen to promote him to the position of Centurion.

Who was Mu Wu Ya, after all?

He was just a centurion who had fled from the long-destroyed Withered Wood Tribe not long ago.

How could he take on such a high position?

Moreover, there were many other Centurion-level warriors in the Gu Yuan tribe who outranked him in both age and battlefield achievements, let alone Mu Wu Ya, who had joined the Gu Yuan tribe not too long ago.

The appointment of the Centurion of the Guardian Clan Soldiers was not unexpected but what was unforeseen was the appointment of Mu Wu Ya.

Looking at the bewildered expression on Mu Wu Ya’s face, everyone present realized that this might simply be an uncontested order from their chief.

Immediately, all eyes turned to Xiao Pangkun and Mu Wu Ya, their faces filled with envy.

According to the unsaid rule in the Great Wasteland, a warrior who commands a thousand men needs to have reached the Blood Refining Realm.

However, these two individuals were merely at the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm, suggesting that if they were to truly become Centurions, Xiao Chen would need to advance their martial arts.

Reminiscing about the recent breakthrough of five Blood Refining Realm warriors in the tribe, along with Tie Wen who had returned from Duanmu City just one day earlier and had already broken through his previous stage, everyone couldn’t help but wonder if Xiao Chen possessed some spiritual pills.

This was the main reason for their envy.

“Silence!”

With a loud shout from Xiao Chen, an invisible pressure permeated from his body, immediately suppressing the entire Great Hall, causing everyone present to become still.

The reaction of the tribal people was within Xiao Chen’s expectations.

The appointment of Mu Wu Ya, who had recently joined the Gu Yuan tribe, as a Centurion was intended to show the tribe that Xiao Chen was willing to invest in new talent.

With half of the Gu Yuan tribe newly merged with other tribes, integrating these people into the core of the tribe would not be a short-term effort.

The promotion of Mu Wu Ya, a recent arrival, to a high-ranking position in the tribe, was a display of Xiao Chen’s intentions.

Xiao Chen wanted to show these scattered newcomers that, as long as they were loyal to the Gu Yuan tribe, they would be treated the same as the original members of the tribe.

This appointment also gave the newly joined tribe members hope, a reason to serve with dedication.

It allowed those who were still feeling confused and uncertain to settle down, and work together for the development of the Gu Yuan tribe.

“Well, does anyone have any objections to the appointments I made?”

“Chief, we think it’s completely reasonable to promote Xiao Pangkun to the position of Centurion.

But we do have objections about promoting Mu Wu Ya to the position of a new Centurion!

There are dozens of warriors at the Centurion level in our Gu Yuan tribe.

Many of them are much more qualified and have accomplished a lot more than Mu Wu Ya in terms of service and military feats.

Moreover, Mu Wu Ya has been with our Gu Yuan tribe for only a short period of time.

We ask you, Chief, to reconsider his appointment.”
