His adjutant nodded continuously beside him, praising, "The General's state is excellent, truly remarkable."
Chen Li also felt that his barely sustained spirit seemed fine, without any obvious flaws. He was attending a banquet that evening, meant to placate the local Nobility and request more funds and manpower from them.
As a General, he had to maintain good relations with the Nobility stationed here, ensuring these nobles wouldn't become a hindrance.
"These Nobility are reasonable. When I asked for men before, they managed to bring over more than ten thousand young adults. I must thank them properly, set them as an example for others to learn from." Chen Li donned his military hat, turned his neck slightly, and saw his somewhat gaunt face in the mirror.
