Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Alice Abdicates, Jiang Chen Becomes the Legion Commander_1
Black Phoenix looked at Jiang Chen with an icy expression.
"There are two types of Legion Wars. The first is of the Ordinary Level, and the second is of the Do-or-die Level. But regardless of the type, there are always grievances involved."
"There is a lot of friction between Legions, but few people initiate Legion Wars because once a war starts, the other Legion will cease to exist."
"The first to propose a Legion War must be the Legion Commander; it’s mandatory."
"After submitting the application, you must put up 50,000,000 as the war fund, which is non-refundable unless the opposing Legion is willing to pay compensation."
"The fund for the second type can even go up to 100,000,000, precisely to deter Legion Wars from happening."
"Must it be the Legion Commander?"
"Yes, ordinary people simply don’t have the qualification to start a Legion War. Jiang Chen, from what you’re saying, who do you want to fight?"
"The Three Union Corps, the Three Union Corps."
Black Phoenix grew thoughtful. These two Legions indeed had a grudge against Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, what if they refuse to fight?" Angelina asked, voicing her doubt.
Black Phoenix nodded. "That’s also possible. If they don’t respond to the challenge, you can do nothing to them. However, once you initiate the Legion War, the whole world will know."
"Every member within the Legion will also receive a notification."
"If they value their honor highly, they will surely respond."
"Where do I go to apply?"
"The Legion Alliance."
The four of them crushed their Town-return Scrolls and returned to Shenlong Academy.
If Jiang Chen wanted to initiate a Legion War, he had to be the Legion Commander. The first step was to obtain that position, and there were only two ways to do so. The first was to establish his own Legion. The second was for the current Legion Commander to retire voluntarily or die, allowing the Legion members to vote for the next commander.
Alice had once said that if Jiang Chen needed to establish his own Legion, she could step down from her position as Legion Commander.
Jiang Chen immediately contacted Alice. But before doing so, he wanted to make sure they were all safe.
He went directly to the public channel and opened the chat.
Jiang Chen: "Jiang Qiu, how are you?"
Jiang Chen carefully watched the public channel. They had blocked his messages, but he hadn’t blocked them, so they could still receive his.
After waiting for quite a while, there was still no response.
Jiang Chen grew more anxious.
Could it be that they had encountered danger?
Alice: "It’s okay. Jiang Qiu just suffered some minor injuries, nothing serious. The five of us have regrouped, and we’re now in a small town."
Jiang Chen read Alice’s message.
As long as she’s okay. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had given Jiang Qiu a Resurrection Scroll, it didn’t guarantee it would be useful. In Different Worlds, the Resurrection Scroll had no effect; it could only revive someone if they encountered danger in the same world.
Jiang Chen: "As long as you’re okay."
Caroline: "Jiang Chen, why don’t you ask if we’re okay?"
Xueli: "Exactly! We treated you like a little brother, but you didn’t even bother to ask. You’ve shattered my heart!"
Muriel: "Jiang Chen, do you still consider us your sisters? Damn it, I’m actually angry!"
Jiang Chen: "It’s good that you all are fine. Alice, resign and give me the position of Legion Commander."
Alice: "....."
Caroline: "....."
Xueli: "....."
「In the small town.」
The five of them exchanged glances. Did Jiang Chen just directly ask Alice to step down?
"What does Jiang Chen want to do?!"
"I thought he wasn’t interested. Why does he want to be the Legion Commander now?"
"Do you think... he wants to initiate a Legion War?"
"Does he even have that much money?"
Jiang Qiu: "What are you planning to do?"
Jiang Chen: "Nothing much, just want to avenge you all. You were bullied; how could I, as your brother, swallow this? Make me Legion Commander, and I’ll wipe them out."
Jiang Chen didn’t beat around the bush and stated his goal directly.
Alice pondered for a moment.
Alice: "Do you know what it means to start a Legion War?"
Jiang Chen: "Of course, I know. Don’t worry. None of you need to take part in any Legion War; I alone am enough. I forgot to tell you, I just went and killed a Demon King—chopped him down in two strikes."
Reading Jiang Chen’s message, the others were greatly surprised.
Has he become that strong already? He killed another Demon King?
Alice looked at the other four. "You all decide whether or not to give Jiang Chen the position of Legion Commander."
"Give it to him. He has to take care of us in the future."
"We were ambushed this time; we can’t let it go just like that. Let him initiate the Legion War and get revenge for us."
"We need to teach them a profound lesson and make them realize that our Dark Legion isn’t to be trifled with!"
They all supported giving Jiang Chen the position of Legion Commander. After all, he was Jiang Qiu’s brother, and they had nearly died in the ambush in the Different Worlds. They weren’t about to let it slide.
Alice turned to Jiang Qiu. "What do you think?"
"Give it to him. But we’re participating in the Legion War too."
"Understood."
After Alice performed a series of operations, Jiang Chen received a notification.
[Alice has transferred the position of Legion Commander to you. Do you accept?]
[Accept.]
Jiang Chen got his wish and became the Legion Commander.
He smiled. The rest should be much easier now.
Jiang Chen turned to Angelina. "Little Na, how much money do we have?"
"Around 30,000,000."
"That little?"
"Do you think money is that easy to earn? Having 30,000,000 is already pretty good! That’s from me picking up equipment for a long time to accumulate wealth!" Angelina rolled her eyes.
Uh... not enough money! How can we initiate a Legion War?
Jiang Chen called Black Phoenix. "I have some equipment to sell. If you’re interested, let’s talk."
"Okay, let’s meet at the tavern."
Angelina said, "If we don’t have enough money, we can sell those two pieces of Gold Equipment. I can’t wear them yet anyway."
"No need. I have a lot of other equipment to sell. Besides, I was planning to clear out my warehouse anyway. The unnecessary equipment can be sold directly to Black Phoenix. They have a Legion, so they naturally have channels to sell them."
「In the tavern.」
Black Phoenix arrived with a middle-aged man.
Black Phoenix introduced him. "This is Li Hui, our Legion’s Financial Officer. Whatever equipment you have, you can sell to us. If it’s not enough, I can authorize a transfer of some money to you."
"That won’t be necessary. I was going to sell some equipment anyway and take the chance to clear out my warehouse."
Without another word, Jiang Chen took out all the equipment. These were all items he had phased out.
Level 20 - Silver-grade Underworld Set.
Li Hui looked at the Silver-grade Set. "This equipment is good. Although the level is a bit low, it’s the best for Level 20 novices."
Level 30 - Phoenix Song Heavy Armor, three pieces.
Level 30 - Demon Slaying Heavy Armor, two pieces.
Angus Greatsword (Diamond level)...
Jiang Chen took them out one by one. This equipment was all just taking up space for him; he might as well clear out his warehouse. He and Angelina had obtained all of it from dungeon raids and monster drops. It had all been sitting in Jiang Chen’s warehouse.
