Chapter 4506
- The Black Dragon Army presented itself as a united front; a monolithic entity where its members shared the same conviction and goal. Outsiders would be hard-pressed to topple them altogether.
- However, there were cracks beneath the surface. Soldiers sometimes clashed among themselves, resulting in violent skirmishes. Under these circumstances, the weaker captain’s battalion would, naturally, be much more cautious and non-confrontational when faced with battalions led by more superior captains. After all, any skirmish that escalated to full-blown conflicts always harmed the groups with weaker backings.
- For this reason, when news broke about the death of Huang Ji Bing, not only did his men grieve his death, but they were also worried about the possible hardship they might have to endure. After all, it was not certain if the captain who would be replacing Huang Ji Bing would be a good captain like Huang Ji Bing! This was why they were particularly anxious about the prospect of their new captain. They had no clue about their new captain’s strength. Should he proved to be too weak, then, they would have to discard their previous superior attitudes. Moreover, many soldiers from the other battalions might even seize this opportunity to bully them. Previously, when Huang Ji Bing was still alive, no one in the army dared to look for trouble with them. Now that Huang Ji Bing was gone, if their new captain was weak, those with an ax to grind would definitely seize this chance to seek revenge.
