Online Games: I Met a Mysterious Old Man

...

30 minutes later.

"Adventurer Chen Xing has been ordered to transfer the Crocodile Company of the Second Infantry Battalion of the Eighth Division of the Third Army of the Mainland Allied Forces. I am here to report."

As he spoke, Chen Xing saluted Karel with a military salute.

Karel returned a military salute to Chen Xing.

Then Karel said to Chen Xing.

"Nice to meet you, Chen Xing. My name is Karel Berman, and I am the company commander of the Alligator Company..."

Karel's words were listless.

"It seems to have a great impact."

Seeing Karel's look, Chen Xing muttered in his heart.

As the company commander of the Crocodile Company, Karel was hit hard by the company's successive failures, and he was under great pressure.

Deep-set eyes, messy hair, tattered military uniform, chipped sword, dark yellow skin, dirty face, pupils that are trembling at any time, etc.

Karel's image at this time was not that of a knight, but a defeated warrior.

"I wish I could fight with you, please..."

At this moment.

"Company commander, it's time for us to leave."

"Just keep working."

"We don't know how long we can survive."

"How can such an incompetent guy be a commander? Alas, if this continues, everyone in the company will die."

After successive defeats and the death of many people, these adventurers did not get much experience points, so they complained again and again.

"......ha."

Karel sighed deeply.

"By the way...Chen Xing, right? Why don't you apply to transfer to another team now?"

"Uh. What do you mean?"

"Stay with me, you won't live long."

"..."

"No one can stay with me for too long. Soldiers keep dying, and adventurers are leaving one after another. Before I let you down, you'd better apply to transfer to another team."

"No."

Chen Xing shook his head.

"This is my first day here, how can I apply to transfer to another team right away?"

"You'll regret it."

"Just wait and see, company commander."

Karel and Chen Xing gave each other a military salute.

...

"What happened?"

Chen Xing asked the soldiers and some adventurers about what happened to the Crocodile Company and Karel.

Whether they were soldiers or adventurers, the answers they gave Chen Xing were the same.

"Oh? Really?"

"Oh, it would be great if I could apply to transfer to a team...Adventurers are not regular troops and can apply to transfer to a team at any time, but we can't. Alas, I feel like I won't live much longer."

"It's better to fight like this than to commit suicide here now. At least it will feel better."

"This is the first time I have seen such an incompetent commander..."

"Ah, the upgrade is not far away. I'm going to participate in one more battle and then apply for team transfer. Otherwise, applying for team transfer will be a little troublesome, so I will apply now."

"Should I run away? As soldiers, will we be hunted down? Ah..."

Everyone in the company had a very bad opinion of Karel. In their eyes, Karel was incompetent and the worst commander.

Especially among the evaluations of those soldiers, Karel's evaluation was even worse.

Because adventurers are immortal, and they can apply to transfer teams at any time, but as soldiers they cannot. Whether they like it or not, they can only entrust their lives to the Crocodile Company and the company commander Karel.

"How incompetent are you?"

Chen Xing complained speechlessly.

...

It didn't take long for Chen Xing's doubts to be answered.

afternoon.

"All members of the Crocodile Company, gather in front of the camp!"

Chen Xing, who had been asking the soldiers and adventurers about the situation, hurried to the camp after hearing the order.

"An order from a superior. In one hour, a raid will be carried out on the territory of the mutated creatures!"

After hearing Karel's words, the expressions on the soldiers' faces were distorted.

"Damn it!"

"Why did you send us out again today? Didn't you just return just now?"

"Oh my god, what crime did I commit in my previous life?"

"How can I trust these bastards? Why are we being sent out on a mission again?"

"Ah, Mom, I miss you."

The soldiers all showed extreme dissatisfaction and kept muttering in their mouths.

This was evidence of the peak of distrust and anxiety about Carell.

"That...Captain?"

A soldier suddenly asked Karel.

"How many troops are involved in this operation?"

"Just us."

"What?!"

"This is an order from our superiors. Only our Crocodile Company is involved in this raid."

"What the hell! Is this a joke?"

The soldier cursed a few words.

"No, what's the point of this? It has only been five hours since our battle ended, and now we are asked to go out to perform a mission. Do you still treat us as human beings? Doesn't this mean we are going to die?"

Other soldiers shared the same sentiment.

"Why?"

"Do those people really think that dealing with mutated creatures is so easy?"

"Who gave this order?"

Because of failure and fatigue, the soldiers were very resistant and dissatisfied.

"This is an order from superiors."

As a junior officer, Karel had no choice but to carry out the orders of his subordinates, even if the soldiers were so dissatisfied.

Although he also felt very tired.

"The company commander is incompetent, so we can only die?!"

"Why do we have to put up with this incompetent company commander."

"I want to go home."

The dissatisfaction of the soldiers has reached its peak.

"We'll be leaving in an hour..."

Karel didn't care about the soldiers' dissatisfaction and curses at him. He only left these words and entered his camp.

"...what a mess."

Chen Xing, who had been watching all this quietly, shook his head and whispered.

...

An hour later.

Chen Xing's crocodile company began the raid.

"Their company is going to die again."

"Tsk, tsk, these soldiers are really pitiful."

"I hope they can come back safely."

The soldiers of other companies all looked at the soldiers of Crocodile Company with pity on their faces.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The soldiers of the Crocodile Company were heading towards a group of mysterious creatures, and a silence enveloped the entire company.

"This is just a minor raid. Don't be too nervous because the opponent is not that big..."

Karel was only incompetent in the hearts of the soldiers, so there was nothing credible about what he said. The soldiers didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all.

"At the end of this forest, there is a small group of enemies..."

Just as Karel continued to speak.

"A small group?"

"What the hell?"

"Are you kidding me?"

The soldiers' dissatisfaction began to spread again.

"A small group..."

Looking at Karel, Chen Xing muttered, because he also thought Karel was a bit ridiculous.

The so-called small group that Karel talks about may not even be able to deal with a battalion.

"That's... that's..."

Karel's voice trembled.
