Upon hearing this, the thousand-person commanders were unhappy.
If this were truly implemented, wouldn’t they be caught in a chokehold? Aside from eating and medical treatment, everything else would have to be exchanged for points? This would shift power from the clan to this kid.
Furthermore, this change directly affected the benefits of the warriors, a system that had remained unchanged since the establishment of the Star-Eye Clan. If even welfare had to be actively fought for, who would want to join the Bronze Camp in the future?
Even if they didn’t say anything and pretended to agree, how would they explain it to the ordinary warriors when they returned? They couldn’t accept it.
“Lord Ling, this approach is questionable, isn’t it?”
Since the Assault Camp had just proven its strength and demonstrated Ye Zhongming’s training abilities, Zhong Hongke spoke politely but clearly expressed his disagreement.
“Yes, once these benefits are taken back, it will become difficult to manage the warriors below. They might not protest silently like today, but they could directly go to the clan to cause a ruckus, which would have a bad impact, and it wouldn’t be good for you either.”
Zhi Chaka actually felt a bit intimidated by this powerful commander. He had no choice, and neither did the others.
First, this individual had killed Kalan Ka, a person who was nearly the top expert in the Bronze Camp even if not counted as the first during his time there, yet he was killed by this person with a single encounter.
The situation had been discussed privately multiple times by several thousand-person and hundred-person commanders who had good relations, confirming that it had to be a premeditated ambush. Perhaps the target hadn’t been clearly defined; anyway, whoever opposed was killed, and Kalan Ka happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Even a sneak attack was terrifying enough, especially since he had turned around and eliminated Ling Jiao, who was on the same level of strength as the thousand-person commanders.
Secondly, the recent victory of the Assault Camp made them realize that this commander had extremely high training standards. Sixty-five people had undergone a transformative experience in less than ten days, a skill level that made the others unable to refute.
Moreover, capable individuals naturally earn respect and trust.
Finally, the thousand-person commanders had better insight than ordinary warriors. Regarding the three previous matches, ordinary warriors might take some time to figure them out, but they immediately understood.
Lord Ling had taught the Assault Camp some precious techniques, provided each of them with high-quality equipment, and demonstrated top-notch methods of winning people’s hearts, generating strong cohesion and nearly peak morale.
Combining these three aspects, and given today’s situation, they truly recognized this newly appointed commander from a comprehensive capability standpoint.
Zhi Chaka opposed this decision internally, but he knew that the qualifications of the thousand-person commanders present were somewhat lacking. After all, everyone here were his subordinates. If he didn’t oppose, it would be a disservice to himself; if he did oppose, it wouldn’t hold any weight.
So he could only elevate the matter to a level of persuasion, hoping to pressure Ye Zhongming into retracting this decision.
“Not possible, the clan has already agreed. This is an authorization document signed by both lords; you can take a look.”
The conference table was a screen. Ye Zhongming tapped his terminal a couple of times, and a massive authorization video appeared on it. The two lords had clearly authorized Ye Zhongming to reform everything in the Bronze Camp, including but not limited to material supplies.
This meant that not just equipment but even food and medicine could be decided by Ye Zhongming.
Since the clan leader had spoken, what use was it for others to oppose? The twenty thousand-person commanders fell silent.
