Chapter 698 Henry in his military uniform got off the helicopter. Behind him were the envoys of Sol.
“Sir, the negotiations were a resounding success.”
Henry walked over to James with a bright smile.
They embraced and laughed out loud.
“You’ve done well. From now on, the borders of the Southern Plains will be at peace, and you’ve become a national
hero. Your name will go down in history and be remembered by Soleans generations to come.” Henry smiled
bashfully. “It’s all thanks to you, sir. I’m just an errand boy.”
“Reporting~” At that moment, Levi ran over to them and saluted James. James acknowledged him. “What’s
wrong?”
Levi exclaimed ecstatically, “I heard from the Capital that the Supreme Commander and King of Sol are heading
here to the Southern Plains to confer you a title.”
James scratched his nose.”I’m already one of the five commanders-in-chief. What title is there left?”
Henry beamed proudly. “Congratulations, sir.” “Alright now, stop kissing my *ss. Let’s have a few drinks.” Shoulder
to shoulder, James left with Henry under the watchful gaze of the generals. At a food stall in the Southern Plains…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAn entire table was drinking to their heart’s content.
Meanwhile, fully-armed men guarded the entrance. James, Henry, and the Elite Eight were drinking.
The Elite Eight stopped themselves from indulging too much, while James and Henry drank till noon.
In the military region… Many powerful people had come from the Capital. In the lead were the Supreme
Commander and King of Sol, the man standing at the top of the food chain
Close behind were the Chief Executive and the Emperor, the commander-in-chief of the Red Flame army
Many high-ranking officials were there too.
The Red Flame army escorted them.
James fixed his stare on the Emperor and smirked.
“Nice one, James.”
The Supreme Commander and King of Sol walked over to James and patted his shoulder. He praised him
enthusiastically. “You resolved the conflict without unnecessary bloodshed, and even managed to make each of the
twenty-eight nations cede five cities to Sol. You truly are the God of War and the national hero of Sol!”
James smiled. “It is my duty, after all.” The Supreme Commander turned and addressed his men. “Confer him the
title!”
Then, he immediately pulled out a red document and read it aloud. “The Black Dragon has performed with
exceptional bravery during the conflict centered in Southern Plains City. Not only did he assassinate the generals of
the twenty-eight nations and forced them to retreat, he even sent envoys to negotiate with the twenty-eight nations
and pressured them into giving up their territory.”
“His meritorious service to Sol will forever go down in history.”
“He shall now be conferred the title of the Dragon King, a ten-star rank general.”
Hearing this, James’ jaw hung open. “Ten-star rank general? I thought the highest we can go is a five-star. Are you
sure we aren’t breaking the international norm? Besides, what the hell is a Dragon King?” The Supreme
Commander flashed him a knowing smile. “This is an exception. I’m afraid you’ll be the one and only ten-star
general of Sol for the rest of its history. There won’t be another ten-star commander-in-chief ever again. As for the
Dragon King… There are many benefits attached to the title.” “Oh? Is that so? What do I get?”
The Supreme Commander explained, “We conferred you the title after a long discussion. We unanimously agree
that the territories relinquished by the twenty-eight nations will fall under your jurisdiction. Do you understand
me?”.
James could not find the words he needed to respond coherently. Was this not akin to being a king of a nation of his
own? The secretary continued.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“In addition to that, we recognize the service of the people who played a crucial role in the assassination of the
twenty-eight nation generals. We’ll now confer the Elite Eight a one-star military rank. You will answer directly to the
Dragon King.” Hearing this, the Elite Eight were delighted. After reciting the document, the secretary walked over to
James and handed him the document happily, “Congratulations, James. You’re the first to be conferred the title of
king in the history of Sol.”
James took the document and returned his smile. “Thank you.”
Many extended their congratulations.
James thanked them all.
“Congratulations, James.” The Emperor walked over to him smiling all the while. James glanced at him and said, “I
couldn’t have done it without you.”
“Haha…”
They laughed in unison.
After conferring the title, the Supreme Commander left. So did the others accompanying him.
Only when the powerful people from the Capital left did the military region erupt into loud, roisterous cheering.
“Dragon King! Dragon King!” They all chanted passionately.
