The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429

The IDs of field officers were blue in color with their rank’s insignia on the cover . When opened, their details would be listed inside, as well as an electronic chip to facilitate identity verification .

Since the Shrek Seven Monsters had enlisted in the army before, all of them had their own military positions . Relatively speaking, Xie Xie’s advancement was slower, but he had still managed to get himself promoted to lieutenant colonel .

The captain’s expression froze immediately . He quickly opened the booklet and looked at Xie Xie . The serial number of the unit which Xie Xie belonged to was written on it, which also included his department and role . There was no doubt that he was a genuine lieutenant colonel .

Following orders was the most important thing in the military . The junior officers had to listen to the orders from their superiors . The greatest difference between the military and politics was that if a junior officer fought against a senior officer, the senior officer had the power to punish the junior officer . During a war, even shooting the disobedient junior officer to death could be justified .

A lieutenant colonel and a captain differed by two ranks . A rank higher would be enough to lord it over another junior officer, leave alone a gap this wide .

“Good day, senior officer!” Although the captain came here under orders, he stood still and saluted a senior officer without hesitation .

Xie Xie retrieved his ID and remained calm while he handled the pressing matter . He said, “Firstly, we have the right to utilize this piece of land here . Federal law states that civilian private property is protected and none may rob that from them . Second, all our workers have taken strict protective measures, so there won’t be any safety issues . You can go back now . If you want to talk to me, send an officer with a higher rank over . Otherwise, don’t even bother coming . ” As he said this, he waved his hand as if chasing a fly away . He turned around and walked back toward the construction site .

The captain stood there for a moment, stunned . He wore a bewildered expression as he had not expected to face such a situation . However, the man that confronted him had a genuine military rank, and that was something he could not do anything about . If he carried out his orders forcibly, what would stop this man from shooting him to death on the grounds that he went against a senior officer?

Also, this captain knew full well the kind of people carrying out Shrek’s rebuilding . Even if he wanted to subdue them with military strength, he would first have to be sure that they were strong enough! He came there to incite a conflict, but logic had stopped him in his tracks . The presence of a senior officer changed everything . He did not dare to provoke him on purpose .

“Let’s go!”

As she watched the soldiers leave with heavy footsteps, Xu Xiaoyan could not help but give a big thumbs-up to Xie Xie . “Not bad! I didn’t expect you to have it in you, seeing how foolishly you usually act . You talked with facts and reason . ”

Xie Xie’s facial muscles twitched . “Are you complimenting me?”

“You can say that,” Yue Zhengyu said casually .

The others were busy . As the Shrek Seven Monsters, all of them had to be personally involved in the process of rebuilding Shrek . Everyone had to do their bit to help the academy .

Tang Wulin was also there, wearing a simple disguise . He smiled drily and said, “This is only the beginning . Let them come as many times as they like . We’ll see what rank of officer they’re going to send next . We’ll think about how to deal with that when the time comes . ”

Xie Xie said with a smile, “We’ve marked our land exactly according to the academy’s title deed . We’ll first fence up our part of the land to declare our ownership . The few people from the Spirit Pagoda who were scared off before are quite tolerant, I see . They haven’t shown themselves until now . ”

Yuanen Yehui snorted and said, “It’s not that they don’t want to show their faces, but that they have no reason to show their faces . ”

An hour later .

“Ula! Ula! Ula!” An hour later, the deafening sirens came again . Like the last time, it signalled the arrival of a dozen cars .

This time, an impressive-looking lieutenant colonel came down from the car . He looked to be in his thirties and had a stern look . The captain who was there before trailed behind him, following every step his senior officer took .

“Where’s the person in charge?” asked the lieutenant colonel in a loud voice .

“I’m here . ” With his golden mane flowing, Yue Zhengyu strode up to him in his Shrek Academy uniform .

“Huh? It wasn’t you before this!” the captain was slightly stunned .

Yue Zhengyu glared at him and said, “It’s enough for you to know that it’s me now . Why are you here again? Didn’t you get the message the last time?”

The lieutenant colonel said with a deep voice, “Firstly, this area is off limits . Due to unique circumstances, the Federation has the right to assume temporary jurisdiction over this land for the people’s safety . You have developed this land without permission, and that’s against the law . Second, what proof do you have that this piece of land is yours?”

Yue Zhengyu replied drily, “We have the title deed . ” As he said this, he produced the document from his pocket and handed it to the lieutenant colonel .

The title deed looked ancient . It was apparent that it had been around for quite some time, and the parchment was made from goat’s hide .

The officer took a look at the title deed . There was a map drawn on it and there was also a specific stamp . Although it was old, the words were still readable .

“Since ancient times, this area has belonged to Shrek Academy, as it does now . We’re now rebuilding our home on our own land . Also, we’ll gradually take care of the radiation problem here . I think our identities can be verified with that title deed, right? As for your development procedures, Shrek is on independent ground and we have autonomy . This is also the way it has been since ancient times . There was never any need to obtain permission from the Federation . So, you may leave now . ”

The lieutenant colonel suddenly smiled . His smiled was slightly peculiar . We waved the title deed in his hand, “You’re trying to prove that you have the right to this land with this thing? Well, it doesn’t exist now . ” A ball of flame suddenly rose from his hand and the title deed was instantly reduced to ashes .

Yue Zhengyu’s expression changed drastically . Even the Shrek Academy students who were working in the distance stopped what they were doing .

In the police cars and further away, a dozen cameras were trained on this spot .

They were waiting for Shrek to retaliate . Public opinion had always been something that was created . Once Shrek attacked the soldiers, the media would have plenty of material to write about . The conflict would become even more hostile when given the right guidance . The military would also be involved . Shrek’s rebuilding might not only be postponed, but it might even be completely halted .

Throughout all this, there were still many ways in which the people from Shrek could be dealt with .

“Very well . Everything you did will be kept in the records . Now, please show me your officer ID,” Yue Zhengyu showed no sign of anger and he spoke calmly .

“What right do you have to demand that I show my ID?” This lieutenant colonel was obviously more experienced than the captain .

“As an officer of higher rank than you, I think I have that right . ” As he said this, Yue Zhengyu produced a small booklet . It was also blue, but it had three stars on it .

A colonel’s rank!

“Here, take it . Burn this as well if you dare . ” Yue Zhengyu pushed his officer ID into the lieutenant colonel’s hand and made an inviting gesture .

The lieutenant colonel’s expression changed slightly . He turned to look at the captain beside him . His gaze seemed to ask, ‘Didn’t you say that there was a lieutenant colonel here? Why is he a colonel?’

He opened the military ID . It clearly stated that he was the Federal Southern Army Corps’ colonel staff officer, Yue Zhengyu .

He had burned the title deed, but he dared not do the same to the officer ID in his hand . An officer ID was proof of a soldier’s identity, and this person was his superior .

“We’ve kept a visual recording of everything you did just now . You may leave . Send someone of higher rank to see me . Oh, that’s right . I’ll be distributing the recording of what happened to some media companies soon enough . I’m sure you’ll be able to see yourself on different channels very quickly . ”

After Yue Zhengyu finished, he took back his officer ID, waved his hand, and returned to the construction ground .

This…

The lieutenant colonel was stunned .

He had expected Yue Zhengyu to hit him and had even prepared defenses . That was Shrek Academy’s title deed, after all! Clearly it was of paramount importance to Shrek Academy . In truth, when he made his move, his heart felt uneasy . However, he had been guaranteed that he would be protected before he made this trip . A hundred-mecha strong mecha battalion was already on standby not far from where they were . The mechas were ready to escalate the conflict .

However, he never expected that their response would be this mild . It was like a ball of cotton . It felt as if they had nothing to fight against .

A higher rank meant absolute superiority . What could he do? He could only return to where he came from before he made the next move .

The lieutenant colonel went into the car with his brows tightly knitted together . The police cars left in defeat again .

“What’s wrong with you!?” came a howl from the soul call .

The lieutenant colonel said with a bitter smile, “Senior officer, there’s nothing I can do! He’s a colonel . He outranks me . Also, he didn’t lash out at me and even said that he recorded my every action . I think that we’ll be in some trouble after this . ”

“Nonsense, the media is under the Federation’s control . What trouble can there be? You’re really useless, you know that? Forget it . Just come back . ”

The soul call ended, and the lieutenant colonel felt helpless . Truth be told, he was not entirely willing to handle this job . Shrek Academy’s name struck his ears like thunder!

“We have a short message . According to our latest reports, Shrek Academy’s rebuilding has started . ” The soul screen in the police car was playing the news . When he heard Shrek Academy’s name, the lieutenant colonel shifted his gaze toward the screen .

As expected, the screen displayed the bustling construction ground .
