13: SSS-class fighter, position appointment!

Yes, sir.

The General at the cultivation room's entrance received Xu Yi's reply and respectfully performed a standard military salute.

He then turned and departed with steady steps.

Not long after he left, Xu Yi also slowly emerged from the cultivation room.

His figure vanished from his original spot like a ghost.

Leaving behind a few shimmering electric arcs.

In a few flashes, he arrived at the aircraft parking area inside the Defense Line.

A brand new SSS-level fighter jet, automatically piloted by the most advanced artificial intelligence, Ling Meng, with the Great Xia Country Council's conspicuous emblem printed on its fuselage, stood majestically!

It was like a sleeping giant beast.

Exuding a heart-palpitating aura!

The patrolling martial artists around them all cast gazes of admiration and envy.

This level of fighter jet.

It was a rare existence in the entire Great Xia Country........

Wow, is that an SSS-level fighter jet? It even has our Council's emblem printed on it, it's so cool!

Yes, this was specially equipped by the Council for our Defense Envoy. Only a Councilor can own one. I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.

.........

As everyone was discussing in low voices, they suddenly noticed Xu Yi's arrival.

They all straightened their bodies and saluted in unison.

Their voices filled with admiration and respect for Xu Yi, they said,

Good day, Defense Envoy!

Xu Yi smiled and nodded at everyone, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He then slowly walked to the hatch of his SSS-level fighter jet, a surge of emotion welling up in his heart.

Before, the highest he had ever ridden was an SS-level fighter jet equipped by the Great Xia Country for Generals.

But that fighter jet had already turned into wreckage after being ambushed.

It remained forever on that battlefield outside the borders.

Just as Xu Yi was lost in thought, a gentle yet somewhat playful voice rang out.

Identity verification successful. Welcome, Councilor Xu. From now on, you are my master~

As she spoke, the hatch made a faint sound and quickly opened.

Revealing the spacious and high-tech interior of the fighter jet.

Xu Yi heard the voice and collected his thoughts.

With a curious and expectant mood, he stepped into the fighter jet.

As soon as he entered.

Ling Meng's adorable pink dragon holographic projection flashed like a stream of light.

Hello, Master, please allow me to introduce myself.

Ling Meng's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of cheerfulness.

Xu Yi nodded faintly, signaling Ling Meng to continue.

Afterward.

Ling Meng began to enthusiastically introduce the various functions of this SSS-level fighter jet.

From the various rare materials used to build the fighter jet.

To the significant improvements in attack, defense, and speed compared to SS-level fighter jets.

She explained everything in detail to Xu Yi.

As Ling Meng introduced the fighter jet.

Xu Yi's gaze swept across the spacious interior of the fighter jet.

He suddenly noticed a beautifully crafted box placed in the center.

His senses, which had become extremely keen after integrating with the Lei Yuan Divine Body, immediately detected the rich energy emanating from the box!

Ling Meng seemed to notice Xu Yi's attention.

The holographic projector appeared beside the box at the opportune moment, continuing to introduce it to Xu Yi.

Master, this box contains two SSS-level cultivation resources that you exchanged for an SSS-level battle armor and an SSS-level weapon in the Council's Treasure Pavilion. I brought them to you.

After she finished speaking.

The beautifully crafted box opened in response.

A more intense energy instantly permeated the air.

Xu Yi focused his gaze.

He saw a purple spirit fruit with faint electric arcs Entanglement on its surface lying inside the box.

And a blue energy crystal the size of a forehead, containing immense lightning-elemental energy!

Immediately.

Xu Yi's lips curved into an undisguised smile as he slowly walked to the beautifully crafted box.

He gently picked up the two SSS-level resources inside with both hands.

He could clearly feel the majestic lightning-elemental energy leaping in his palms.

After carefully sensing it for a moment.

Xu Yi, with a thought, put them into his Infinite Storage Space.

Then he pondered for a moment.

His eyes flickered.

He began to contemplate a suitable name for his newly acquired SSS-level fighter jet.

I'll call you 'thunder ink.'

Xu Yi murmured softly.

After deciding on the fighter jet's name, Xu Yi walked out of the fighter jet.

He did not rush back to the cultivation room to absorb these two SSS-level resources.

Instead, he walked towards the General's Residence built within the Eastern Defense Line.

He intended to first handle the current series of matters in Mobei Province.

He had now been promoted from General of the Eastern Defense Line.

To Defense Envoy, who managed all affairs in the entire province.

The power he could wield was several times greater than when he was a General, which also meant that he had more affairs to handle.

And in the future, he would no longer need to be stationed at the Eastern Defense Line for long periods like before.

After being promoted to Defense Envoy, he needed to think about the overall situation from a higher perspective.......

It's time to find someone to take my place......

Xu Yi sat in the spacious office chair, his fingers gently tapping the armrest.

He pondered silently.

After he became Defense Envoy, and with nearly a hundred thousand elite martial artists and soldiers dying on the battlefield.

The General of the Eastern Defense Line, the Deputy General.

And all other important positions were vacant and needed to be filled.

In addition, there were also important positions such as the General and Deputy General of the Central Defense Line.

After careful consideration.

Xu Yi decided to have Commander Wang Xian take over his position as General of the Eastern Theater.

Although Wang Xian's current level was only Martial Saint Early Stage.

There was still some distance from the minimum requirement for the General position, Martial Saint Early Stage.

But Xu Yi believed that with Wang Xian's ability, honed through years of experience following him, he was fully capable of fulfilling this role.

Moreover, as long as he gave the order, no one would dare to defy him.

There was no need for the Council to send another Martial Saint.

Besides Wang Xian, Xu Yi also considered other vacant positions.

He then promoted all those subordinates he favored, who had performed well on the battlefield and were loyal to him.

The only drawback was that the cultivation of some Generals had not reached the minimum standard.

He had given them the opportunity.

But whether they could gain the respect of others depended on their own abilities........

After settling the personnel arrangements for the Eastern Defense Line, Xu Yi turned his attention to the Central Defense Line.

Compared to the heavily damaged Eastern Defense Line.

The situation in the Central Defense Line was much better.

There were many talented individuals, and not a few yearned for promotion.

Xu Yi used his authority as Defense Envoy to carefully review the information of the various Generals in the Central Defense Line.

He made corresponding promotions and adjustments.

At the same time, he also selected a few trusted subordinates to serve in important positions in the Central Defense Line.

To ensure the stability of both Defense Lines.

After everything was arranged properly.

Xu Yi used the communication ring on his finger to summon Wang Xian.

Soon after.

Wang Xian knocked on the door and entered.

With a respectful and puzzled expression, he said,

Sir, you called for me?
