Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Because of this merit, after Yang Zhenshan took charge of Chongshan Town and awarded honors, he was promoted to thousand commander of the Right Camp.

Lin Anguo was an old soldier, having experienced the war in the Northern lands and the battle for Chongshan Town, a Military Officer who had worked his way up from the very bottom.

If not for his advanced age and only reaching the Postnatal Third Layer of cultivation, his achievements would be far more than just a thousand commander.

He was bold and resolute on the battlefield, willing to fight and switch sides when needed, bringing his soldiers into the fray; this much attested to his courage and determination.

”Who are you people, daring to force your way through Chongshan Pass?” Lin Anguo asked coldly.

”We are the Imperial Guard Department on a case! How dare you obstruct us?” Although irritated, the tall, thin man did not dare to be too arrogant given the situation.

With hundreds of arrows pointed at them from the city walls, and hundreds of iron-clad soldiers blocking the city gate, even if he was backed by hundreds of the Imperial Guard Department’s experts, he did not dare to claim they could withstand the soldiers in front of them.

”Imperial Guard Department!”

Lin Anguo narrowed his eyes; he was unaware of what sort of government office the Imperial Guard Department was, as it had almost never ventured out of the Imperial City before.

Not to mention a borderland Military Officer like himself, even officials from the Capital City probably wouldn’t understand what type of office the Imperial Guard Department was.

”Sheathe your weapons, leave the city gate at once, and wait for an order!”

”Before a command is issued from the General Mansion, if you dare step through the city gate again, you will be treated as mutineers!”

Lin Anguo showed no intention of backing down.

He wasn’t clear about the severity of the Imperial Guard Department, but he knew the military law of the Five Camps was strict.

He couldn’t bear the responsibility of allowing foreign soldiers into the city on his own accord.

Once something went wrong, the higher-ups could very well have his head according to military law.

The expression on the tall, thin man’s face turned uglier. He thought the arrival of an officer meant they could enter the city.
