"Henry, your performance in battle has been astonishing. I knew you would win, but I never expected such a resounding success."
Soslan said amiably, holding the battle report Henry had just submitted. "You are destined to be a rising star of the Empire. I have a feeling the King will grant you a higher title for your military merits."
Henry smiled and humbly replied that he had only fulfilled his duty as a Vassal to the great King. As one of the King's students, he could not bring shame upon the headmaster.
"However, your request for more elite soldiers... that will be difficult."
Henry's expression remained unchanged. He asked, "Legion Commander, my abilities are beyond question. Why can't I be given temporary command of more soldiers?"
Soslan frowned, rising to point at a map. "In the northeastern Tianyin Plains, the Seventh and Eleventh Legions are completely encircled by the Half-Beastmen's main elite force."
