All Chapters of Eternal Empire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The time period between receiving the news of the field exercise and heading out flew past fairly fast. Shen Leng knew that the harsh trainings that he forced his men to go through were not sufficient, but he hoped that his men were able to at least guard their lives in the face of danger.Last month, the total number of new recruits who had passed the evaluation was less than three hundred. The battalion commander, Wang Gendong was in charge of leading the troops. This was a very simple mission. The water bandits they were ambushing was Zhao Dengke and his men that were located upstream. According to the intelligence reported back by the scouting team, they had only a hundred odd people. They were hiding in one of the waterways of Nanping River, and plunder passing merchant ships from time to time in the middle of the night.Three Xiong Niu battleships had headed upstream towards their camp. The Xiong Niu battleship was a medium-sized battleship of the Nav

Despite having been through Shen Leng’s strict and arduous trainings over a period of time, running three miles while carrying a heavy load was still not an easy feat. Fortunately, they only had to be a little faster than the water bandits behind them.Even though the water bandits only carried a dagger with them, they could not run faster than Shen Leng and his men, who were carrying more than ten to twenty pounds worth of equipment with them. This made Shen Leng’s squad somewhat pleased with themselves… “Du Weiming, take two people with you and go over to see if there is anybody holding down the fort in the water bandits’ camp.”Shen Leng yelled. He turned around and grabbed Wang Kuohai. “The rest of you keep going! You stay behind with me!”Wang Kuohai turned around and headed back with Shen Leng. After they walked a few steps, he heard Shen Leng yell, “Shield!”Wang Kuohai lifted the shield from the ground and he

When it was nightfall, it suddenly started raining. The drizzle turned into a lashing storm in just a brief moment. After the ten-man squad returned from the battlefield, Chen Ran was the first to charge out into the rain and let the rain wash over him. Apart from Shen Leng, the rest followed suit. Perhaps they needed the rain to wash over them to calm them down because of the stench of blood, or perhaps they were still reeling from what happened earlier. They were cheering in the rain and strained their voices. After they got back to the barracks, the few of them huddled together and laughed like fools, rocking back and forth.Chen Ran flipped his hair back and said, “What a downpour…it’s raining cats and dogs…” Shen Leng sat by the window and retorted, “Why didn’t it crush you to death.”Chen Ran replied, “Leng, no, I mean, squad leader…did you see those people out there?” Of course Shen Leng saw them. On the dril

Zhuang Yong was half drunk, whereas Shen Leng was about thirty percent drunk. After they were done drinking, both of them sat in the tent in silence for quite a while. Thereafter, Zhuang Yong let out a long sigh. His sigh was filled with sorrow. He did not know whether his heart ached more for Li Yong or for himself. “General, you are a model general.”Shen Leng cleared the food on the table, and took the empty pot of wine with him as he prepared to take his leave. Since they had finished the wine, and had quite a long conversation, it was already more than enough…In front of Zhuang Yong, Shen Leng always acted somewhat like a child. That was because he knew his limits. After all, Zhuang Yong was a general. He was the commander of the Navy. It’s impossible for them to be too close to one another.“You are a model soldier.”　Shen Leng walked and shrugged. “Hence, I am a good soldier, and you are a good general. Whethe

Amongst the hundred soldiers, some had collapsed to the ground, and some were frightened. Shen Leng casually knocked down at least a dozen soldiers all by himself. Their haughtiness had beaten out of them and dissipated. What was even left?“You people truly have nothing to be proud of.”Shen Leng looked at the people who were laying on the ground. “People who want to leave, I will not make you stay. The ones who are willing to stay, you will have to follow my rules. When you were combat soldiers in your respective camps, you were considered to be eliminated. If you get eliminated here too, isn’t it more humiliating?After he finished saying that, Shen Leng turned around and walked off. “For those who are willing to stay, wake up an hour earlier than usual tomorrow and attend additional training with me.”Those soldiers stood there, without budging, for a long, long time.When Zhuang Yong got wind of it,
