"Thank you, bro! If it hadn't been for you, all of us would have been killed by the bugs today!!"
"Yes, yes! Bro, which army are you from? Thank you so much!"
The soldiers of the Empire-shield Army around Carl expressed their gratitude one after another. At this time, some soldiers naturally noticed the insignia of the Empire-sword Army on Carl's shoulder sleeve.
Those soldiers and Carl served in different armies, so there were naturally some psychological barriers between them.
However, the soldiers were very friendly to Carl, because he saved them just now.
Just then the silver-haired woman in the middle of the team walked straight towards Carl.
Carl glanced at the woman's insignia and confirmed that she was a staff sergeant.
He curled his lip helplessly and gave a military salute to her respectfully. He had no choice but to do so, because he was just a corporal now.
In t
The soldiers of the Empire-shield Army cleaned up an area in an orderly manner. After all, they didn't want to rest in a place full of dead bugs, even though they didn't care much about the environment.Carl obediently followed Bai Ling carrying Faye on his back. Faye was still in a coma, so he had to carry her all the way to the safe area.Fortunately, after Faye received Bai Ling's treatment, her condition had improved a lot. Carl was happy to stay here and wait for her to recover slowly.The physician, Bai Ling, seemed to be a commander in the squadron of the Empire-shield Army. Therefore, Carl, Bai Ling, and Faye didn't need to do chores.Carl followed Bai Ling to a relatively safe area and put Faye down gently.It was not until then that Carl finally had a chance to communicate with Bai Ling."Thank you so much, Bai Ling. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do." Carl expressed
No bugs attacked Carl and the others during the night, probably because he had killed all the bugs chasing them.Early in the morning, the first rays of the rising sun passed through dense foliage and shone on the faces of Carl and the others.Having felt the light, Carl slowly opened his eyes, but the next second he got up from the ground as if he was scared by something.The first thing that he saw after he opened his eyes was Faye, who was smiling!Looking at Carl, who seemed bewildered, Faye smiled. "Carl, you're finally awake!"Carl nodded anxiously. His heart was pounding. After a while, he finally calmed down.Bai Ling heard the noise and slowly opened her eyes. She looked very happy when she found that Faye had recovered her spirits.Faye glanced at Bai Ling, who was smiling. A wave of hostility swept through her. She did not know from when she began to act in such an excited an
Bai Ling lost her composure, but Faye did not take it seriously. Carl exchanged glances with Faye and understood something.He stopped Bai Ling, who was walking over. Bai Ling looked at him in confusion, but he shook his head."Bai Ling, please don't blame Faye. It's just that the news that you brought us is so important... Even Shadow Blade has to order his men to try to contact Sarasca first before he can decide whether or not to send reinforcements."Carl explained to Bai Ling in a serious manner.However, Bai Ling was even more confused. She repeated her view. "But the entire Sarasca defensive zone is already shrouded in the poisonous smog produced by smog centipedes. What's the point of trying to contact Sarasca first?"From Bai Ling's point of view, since Shadow Blade already knew that the Sarasca defensive zone was out of touch now, why would he bother to try to contact? Wasn't is a waste of time?
"Understood!" Carl had to follow Faye's orders when it came to serious military matters.After receiving Carl's reply, Faye nodded and led the team to Punk Fortress.The soldiers standing guard at the gate had seen Carl and the others in the distance. Before the latter got close, some soldiers already opened the gate.A few people soon rushed out of Punk Fortress, came over to Faye, and saluted to her respectfully."Madam, according to Shadow Blade's order, you need to take the person in charge of the Sarasca defensive zone to the conference hall and meet him there when you get back."Faye nodded, turned around and said to Bai Ling, "Let's go. Please follow me."Then, she looked at Carl and said, "Please arrange for the soldiers of the Empire-shield Army to settle down. Other detailed arrangements will be made in a unified manner after Shadow Blade completes the battle plan!""Understoo
"That's right. This is the first time that these obstacles are displayed. However, only in this way can the competition be considered fair, right?" Rio said with a smile on his face.Rio was right. If the members of Carl's team had already used those facilities and could use them proficiently, it would be unfair for the soldiers of the Empire-shield Army, who had just come here.As expected, when the members of Carl's team took out the obstacles designed by Rio, they looked confused just as the soldiers of the Empire-shield Army did!"Hey, Carl. What are these? We have never seen them before!" A soldier said to Carl curiously.Carl waved his hand helplessly and said, "I have no idea. I haven't seen these things until today."The members of Carl's team placed the obstacles at the locations designated by Rio. After a short while, the entire training ground was filled with obstacles that had never appeared there be
"The last obstacle is just ridiculous! How can you climb to the top of a 5-meter-high wood board with only a few small footholds?"With his eyes wide open, Carl looked at the obstacle that John was facing. He found it a little difficult to accept it.In response to Carl's questioning, Rio just smiled and said in a noncommittal tone, "Don't worry. John is not as weak as you think. Even if he doesn't use his War Spirit power, his physical quality is still much better than that of ordinary people!"As soon as Rio finished speaking, John shouted and began to challenge the last obstacle in an indomitable manner relying on inertia.John stooped down a little and jumped up. Relying on his strong ability to jump, he skipped the lowest two footholds and reached the third one.As soon as he stepped on the foothold, he immediately moved toward the right side and leaped to the next foothold.After one second, J
"What are you doing there? Hurry up and start over again!" When the soldier of the Empire-shield Army was lying prostrate on the ground in a daze, the other soldiers began to urge him.He shuddered and suddenly came to his senses. Then, he hurried to the starting point.According to the rules of the obstacle course racing, any challenger who fell off an obstacle during the race had to restart from the obstacle.This soldier of the Empire-shield Army failed to pass through the first obstacle, so he had to restart from the starting line.By the time he stood at the starting point, Augustine had already passed through the first obstacle relying on his great arm strength and come to the second obstacle, the single-log bridge."Good job!" Carl and John exclaimed excitedly. Both the soldiers of the Empire-shield Army and the members of Carl's team cheered for their own teammates.As the initiator of the c
When Augustine jumped to the ground, the soldier of the Empire-shield Army was still standing in front of the wood board, his face ashen.All the members of Carl's team burst into deafening cheers for Augustine and officially recognized him as the third deputy captain of the team.Previously, the members of Carl's team were a little unhappy with the fact that Carl, Rio, and John thought very highly of Augustine."After all, Augustine is not a War Spirit Warrior. We're all ordinary young men. Why do you think so highly of him? Are we inferior to him in some ways?"Young people had their own aspirations. They wouldn't obey you unless you could fully convince them!Therefore, after a week of training and getting along with each other, most members of Carl's team obeyed Augustine because they had to follow the orders given by Carl and the other deputy captains.They seemed obedient to Augustine, but dee
