Chapter 686 The Ambition Of A Five-Star General

Lu Yu and the other two jumped down from the dragon's back and walked toward Lin Zhanyu.

"General Lin, did you miss me?" Lu Yu walked over with a smile.

Lin Zhanyu patted Lu Yu's shoulder and said, "I've been thinking about you daily. Alas, you finally came out and gave me such a big surprise."

"I've been through a lot in these five months. It hadn't been easy to tame this dragon." Lu Yu was a little discouraged, but he immediately smiled. "Fortunately, there's a good result, and all our previous efforts were not in vain."

"Let's go back to my office and talk."

The surrounding soldiers looked at the huge Water Spirit Dragon in shock. Everyone was nervous, afraid that this colossal creature would suddenly start killing everyone.

Lu Yu turned around and waved the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand. The next moment, the Water Spirit Dragon entered the Water Spirit Pearl.

After that, Lu Yu followed Lin Zhanyu and headed for the battle command center.

"General Lin, can you tell me what happened in the past five months?"

Lu Yu asked Lin Zhanyu.

"Over these five months, many things have happened, and many things can only be discussed between the few of us."

"What's the situation in the ancient ruins?"

"Skirmishes between the Truth Department and us have already begun. Many people have perished and been replaced. The changes are tremendous."

"What about the others? By the way, how's Han Xuefei's condition?"

"I'm not sure about that. I haven't been paying much attention to her as I've been busy recently."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, not planning to continue asking about Wang Meng's situation.

"Let's go back to my office first. I can only talk about some things in private."

Lu Yu nodded slightly to Lin Zhangyu's words silently.

Soon, they returned to the battle command center and came to Lin Zhanyu's office.

Lu Yu sat opposite Lin Zhanyu, while Xu Yuan and Yun Ziruo stood behind him.

Lin Zhanyu tidied up the documents on his desk and glanced at Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou.

"Can you trust these two people?"

The sudden question confused Lu Yu.

"Xu Yuan is from the military and has been here for a long time. I trust him."

"As for Yun Zirou, I trust her even more. She has no one else to rely on, and I'm her best friend."

"As long as it's something Lu Yu wants me to do, I'll do it without a second thought. I'll never betray him!" Yun Zirou firmly added.

Lin Zhanyu looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "What about you? Tell me your thoughts."

Xu Yuan was dumbfounded and answered with some difficulty, "General Lin, I've been in the military for a few years. My background is all written in your files."

Lin Zhanyu snorted lightly, his face a little gloomy.

"Lu Yu, do you know about Wang Wei?"

"Of course, I killed his son."

"That's right, he's been transferred away,"

Lu Yu frowned slightly. "Wan Guliu?"

"No, it was General Yan who transferred him away."

"General Yan? I don't know him." Lu Yu shook his head slightly.

"He's the only five-star general in the military. He once made outstanding military achievements for the Freedom Federation. However, he has always been suppressed due to issues with his way of doing things."

In deep thought, Lu Yu lowered his head and asked, "Is his power second only to the Wan Guliu in the military?"

"That's right. Now you know what I'm worried about?"

Lu Yu gulped anxiously. "Someone wants to deal with Wan Guliu."

"That's right. That's why we must be careful with every step we take. I'm unsure how many of General Yan's men are here, so I can only carry on important conversations here."

Lu Yu sighed. "I understand now. Between General Yan and Commander Wan, who is stronger?"

"I can't say for sure. They haven't fought for ages, and I doubt they even know each other's trump card. Moreover, they won't reveal those with their status, or else it will be a big problem."

Lin Zhanyu suddenly stretched out his right hand and held Lu Yu's hand. He said with a serious expression, "Lu Yu, you must stand by our side!"

Lu Yu furrowed his brows and pondered momentarily, unable to decide.

"Didn't I just say that most of everyone that entered the ancient ruins from the start is dead? Those who entered later are all General Yan's men!"

"The most important thing is that the number of deaths among his men plummeted after they entered. It's as if the two sides have come to an agreement in the ancient ruins!"

"It's a strange matter, and Commander Wan wanted to send someone in to investigate but was stopped."

"General Yan has already taken full control of the ancient ruins,"

Lu Yu took a deep breath. "You mean they might have colluded with the Truth Department?"

"It's possible. He's been suppressed by Wan Guliu for so many years that he's been harboring hatred. Now that he has this opportunity, he'll take advantage of it."

"If you join them, we'll be finished!" Lin Zhanyu concluded with a firm expression.

Lu Yu nodded slightly. "I understand your situation. Since they chose to collude with the Truth Department, I will never join them."

"By the way, where's their base?"

"Base twelve!"

Lin Zhanyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "I have something to tell you. Your aunt is in base twelve."

Lu Yu's eyes widened, and he asked, "What? Why would she be there?"

"Well... that's a base far away from the front lines. Your aunt was transferred there to let her live a stable life in the military."

"At that time, neither commander Wan nor I had realized General Yan's ambitions. Now that we have, it's too late."

"Two or three months ago, we began negotiating with them to transfer Liu Yi over. Unfortunately, we didn't get what we wanted, as they are determined not to let her go."

"So, you all assigned General Yan to the safest base probably because you didn't want him to cause trouble. After all, the military's elites are all on the front lines. However, that guy has been biding his time in the rear, giving birth to an impending disaster."

Lin Zhanyu let out a long sigh. "Anyway, this is the current situation in the military. What's your next step?"

"I plan to find my friend first. If I want to continue with my next plans, I need to have someone I can trust working with me. Currently, in the military, I only trust Xu Yuan."

Lin Zhanyu laughed awkwardly. "That's fine. You can go and do what you need to do. I'll let you know as soon as I get more information."

Lu Yu added, "You've raised a backstabbing wolf, so this is a disaster that the military brought upon yourselves. You'll have to deal with this yourself, and I'm afraid the help I can provide is limited."

Lin Zhanyu shook his head. "How could that be? If you help us, you will be a great force. After all, you have such incredible potential!"

After seeing the Water Spirit Dragon, he knew Lu Yu's future was bright. He had only tamed one dragon, but wouldn't he be invincible if he tamed a few more dragons?
