Chapter 167 [166] Revenge Prologue

Chapter 167: Prologue to Revenge [166]

After the battle with the Red Corpse, Cheng Han has become a highly sought-after individual.

In the past, although he was a talented young man known in the Black Mountain Camp, the Black Armor Army's combat style focused on small teams and teamwork was the most important factor to consider.

Many teams were unaware of his team's abilities, so no team leader came looking for him.

But now, during the process of hunting down the Red Corpse, Cheng Han's ability to strategize and coordinate with his team was evident to everyone.

Including Vice Colonel Tiefeng, all the soldiers had a very high opinion of him.

And which team wouldn't want a powerful and excellent soldier like him?

So...

The captain of the Second Battalion, Mu Qiushan, is now facing a headache.

Four team leaders are eyeing Cheng Han, wanting to recruit him into their teams.

"I am a senior team leader! I have twenty-eight years of experience leading teams!"

One of the team leaders, named "Aofeng," gave the above reason.

"I am also a senior team leader! My temper is very gentle, and I guarantee that Cheng Han will feel the warmth of family."

Another team leader, called "Ling Handong," showcased his own advantages while secretly stepping on his competitor.

The so-called "gentle temper" clearly implied that Aofeng had a bad temper.

This was also a way to provoke him. If Aofeng became angry, wouldn't it perfectly prove this point?

But...

At a critical moment, Aofeng didn't fall for it. Instead, he showed a calm smile and said, "No one's temper can be bad in front of a talented young man."

The third team leader, not a senior team leader, spoke up and stated his own advantages, or rather, flattered the talented young man from a distance.

"From what I know, Cheng Han has a keen sense. In the past, he killed many anomalies while patrolling the bureau.

"I think this ability is very important for a team, and I am willing to share the authority of a team leader and the corresponding benefits with Cheng Han."

Ling Handong and Aofeng glanced at this person and each said to themselves: He's even willing to give up power and money. He's really impressive!

The fourth person is an ordinary team leader who acted more directly, or rather shamelessly.

"If Cheng Han is in my team, he will have the greatest say!"

The other three people looked at him sideways.

You're even willing to give up the position of team leader?

That's ruthless!

Even Mu Qiushan was a bit speechless.

This captain was a bit undecided and hadn't spoken for a long time.

Aofeng urged, "Captain, please make a decision."

Mu Qiushan didn't answer but instead asked a question, "Do you know how many battle merit points the Second Battalion has gained since Cheng Han joined the Black Mountain Camp?"

This captain continued, "Cheng Han broke the record for comprehending talismans twice, and the military commander rewarded a total of 1,500 points.

"He found clues about the looting group the day before yesterday and helped the battalion kill a group of cultists, and he cleverly killed the Red Corpse.

"He also solved nine old cases for the patrol bureau and received an official thank-you letter. The military commander rewarded a total of 2,500 battle merit points."

According to the Black Armor Army's system, the battle merit points earned from hunting down cultists were more abundant than killing anomalies, which is why the reward this time was so high.

Mu Qiushan raised four fingers, "A total of 4,000 points!"

The faces of the four team leaders changed completely.

They naturally knew what this number meant.

Under normal circumstances, a Black Armor Army team could resolve about eighteen anomalies on average per year, earning about 6,000 battle merit points.

Adding in various other gains, they usually obtained around 8,000 points per year.

Note.

This is not for one person.

It is the harvest of an entire team.

And in less than half a month since Cheng Han joined the Black Mountain Camp, he earned battle merit points for the Second Battalion equivalent to half a year's effort for a team.

Who would believe that this is the achievement of a newcomer?

Aofeng took a deep breath and eagerly said, "Captain, I think Cheng Han can be in my team."

With such an impressive figure, if they could win him over, they would likely experience what it's like to be the "strongest team in the Black Armor Army" next year.

In that case, is it necessary to value the title of a mere team leader so much?

The other three also realized this and began to compete.

"Whatever Cheng Han wants me to do, I will do it in the future!"

"Cheng Han is my father!"

The last sentence of "acknowledging his father" made Mu Qiushan's face twitch.

He waved his hand, saying, "Allowing Cheng Han to join any team would be unfair to the other teams."

Ao Feng really wanted to say, "It would be fair if he joined my team," but he didn't dare to joke around in front of the captain.

Mu Qiushan made a decision: "I plan to grant Cheng Han 'discretionary power' so that he is not bound by the team system."

"Cheng Han can cooperate with any team... of course, limited to the teams of the Second Battalion. He can freely choose the tasks he wants to do."

All the team leaders were stunned.

Ao Feng couldn't help but say, "Captain, isn't this unprecedented? Will the military commander agree?"

Mu Qiushan glared at him, "Who said there's no precedent? The Black Armor Army had a similar situation over a hundred years ago."

From this sentence, it can be heard that the captain had already had this idea and had specifically taken the time to inquire about it.

Ao Feng quickly flattered, "Captain, you are wise."

Mu Qiushan began to dismiss people without courtesy, "Alright, that's settled. You all can leave now."

The team leaders didn't dare to disobey and obediently left.

After walking for a while, Ao Feng suddenly turned in a different direction and walked quickly towards the ordinary dormitory area.

This person was a senior team leader and lived in a luxurious dormitory. His intention was self-evident when he headed towards the ordinary dormitory area.

At this moment.

Cheng Han was riding on the feathered beast Gua Gua, heading towards the blacksmith shop in Heishan Camp.

The Black Armor Army allows soldiers to bring their mounts into the camp and provides free care, but the feathered beasts must wear identification items.

This time, when returning from Qinglin City, he deliberately brought Gua Gua with him.

"Yah!"

Gua Gua walked briskly in the snow, looking around curiously at everything.

Cheng Han's gaze had no focus, and various thoughts were swirling in his mind.

"Ordinary people only know about the three major divine beings, and they don't know much about the specifics. But I have studied the history of the Middle Ages through the system and have a lot of information."

"The first divine being is the most powerful, holding several divine positions. In addition to 'manipulating flesh and blood,' there is also 'revenge.'"

"Any action that aligns with 'revenge' will increase the power source of the first divine being. After killing the bald Gute earlier, it tried to bring down a trace of power precisely because of this."

"Although I used the aura of the trash boss to scare away the first divine being, the Destruction Legion is an organization under that divine being. They will most likely seek revenge."

This is the most troublesome aspect for followers of divine beings.

In order to please the divine beings, these people often behave like madmen and frequently do crazy things in the eyes of ordinary people.

"The Black Armor Army must be aware of the revenge, but they don't know that the Destruction Legion's retaliation is likely to be more fierce than expected."

"In the last fog level of the new recruits' training, I secretly killed an executive of the Destruction Legion, and that lady was a powerful Xuan-level expert."

"The Destruction Legion suffered a big loss, but they couldn't find the culprit. They probably have been holding a grudge and couldn't find a target for revenge. They must be full of anger."

Thinking of this, Cheng Han couldn't help but sigh, "This time, a group of followers died. These people probably want to settle both old and new scores together."

As a qualified playwright, he immediately had an idea, "Can I use this to write the next script?"

He decisively established a soul connection and instructed the female team leader, "Pay attention to the internal movements of the Destruction Legion. If there are any changes, report immediately."

"I will follow your orders!"

Qie Xiaoying's response was as prompt as always.

A dozen seconds later.

Gua Gua approached the sapphire-like Blue Lake.

Looking around, a large number of servants were working hard, sweeping away the accumulated snow on the lakeside road.

They immediately noticed the feathered beast and low voices of conversation sounded.

"It looks like Sergeant Cheng!"

"Everyone, make way!"

"Give way to Sergeant Cheng!"

Gua Gua had a red ribbon tied around its neck by a little girl. It liked it very much, even if the ribbon was dirty, it refused to take it off.

Although Cheng Han was wearing a thick snowproof suit, this characteristic was remembered by someone with a keen eye, so the servants recognized his identity.

Soon.

The servants moved to the sides of the road.

Many people greeted him proactively.

"Sergeant Cheng, good morning!"

Cheng Han nodded politely and greeted, "Good morning, everyone!"

With a thought, he activated the power of the Body Tempering Seal, "Ling".

"Poof! Poof!"

The snow suddenly wriggled, and several chubby snowmen emerged.

The servants were startled.

The snowmen opened their arms made of ice and snow, and the surrounding snow automatically adhered to them. They moved in a sliding posture, effortlessly pushing a large amount of snow towards the Blue Lake.

"Thump!"

The snow touched the water surface and instantly melted into the blue lake water.

The Blue Lake possessed a magical power, and its water would never freeze.

The snowmen themselves possessed the power of ice and snow, and their snow-clearing efficiency was equivalent to that of twenty servants. With just one push, a four-meter-wide road instantly became clean.

This was the snow control technique Cheng Han had learned from the snow dog in the past.

Now that Cheng Han had mastered the characteristics of ice-based arcane arts and had the reputation of a young genius, he could display it in front of others without any worries.

The servants were all dumbfounded.

It wasn't until the feathered beast walked more than ten meters away that they finally came back to their senses and bowed to Cheng Han.

"Thank you, Sergeant Cheng!"

"Sergeant Cheng is so kind-hearted!"

These servants had been in Heishan Camp for many years, and it was the first time they had seen a soldier willing to help them with their work.

Amidst their heartfelt admiration, there were also exclamations of amazement.

"It's so magical!"

"Snowmen clearing snow, today I've seen something new!"

Not long after.

Cheng Han arrived at the blacksmith's shop.

The blacksmith immediately recognized the famous young genius and respectfully asked, "Sergeant Cheng, may I ask what you need?"

This burly man took a glance at the feathered beast and immediately understood, "Is this your feathered beast? Do you want to have it fitted with an identity copper ring?"

Cheng Han nodded, "Please."

After saying that, he fell into a contemplative state, silently conceiving the next plot in his mind.

The blacksmith was a little hesitant.

Feathered beasts were not very intelligent animals, and fitting them with a copper ring was a complex task that required the cooperation of the feathered beast's owner.

But this young genius had an otherworldly demeanor, and the burly man didn't dare to disturb him rashly.

The blacksmith could only place the copper ring on the workbench and wait for Cheng Han to come back to his senses.

"Ang!"

Suddenly, Guagua let out a cry.

The blacksmith looked at the feathered beast, puzzled.

Guagua extended its long beak and lightly pecked at the copper ring.

"Ding!"

In its pair of vertical pupils, there was a clear sense of urgency.

The blacksmith seemed to understand something and tentatively asked, "Are you willing to cooperate with my work?"

"Ang!"

Guagua cried out again.

Not only that.

The feathered beast also spread its wings, lifted its right foot, and struck a strange pose of "standing like a golden rooster".

This appearance was truly amusing.

Guagua's observation was very keen. When it entered Heishan Camp yesterday, it had already noticed that the feathered beasts here all wore a copper ring on their right ankle.

The moment it saw the copper ring just now, it understood the purpose of its owner bringing it here.

The blacksmith was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "So clever!"

"Ang!"

Guagua's cry was filled with a sense of pride.

The blacksmith pointed at the workbench and politely said, "Please place your right foot on it."

Guagua followed the instructions.

The craftsman picked up two half-circle rings and put them on the feathered beast's ankles. Then, he used tools to adjust the tightness, ensuring a snug fit without being too tight.

Guagua tilted its head, looking very focused.

Look at its appearance, it seems to be studying the way of loading and unloading with great concentration.

Three minutes later.

The tightness was adjusted.

The craftsman took out four small parts and some auxiliary tools, and began to fix the half-circle rings.

"Ding! Ding!"

"Dang! Dang!"

After a series of hammering, the rings were installed.

Throughout the process, Guagua cooperated very well, showing intelligence far beyond ordinary feathered beasts.

The craftsman praised generously, "You are the smartest feathered beast I have ever seen!"

This strong man exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being a genius, even the domesticated feathered beasts are becoming extraordinary!"

"Ang!"

Guagua accepted the praise.

Then.

It did something unexpected.

Guagua suddenly lifted its right foot and stood on one leg like a golden rooster, with a long neck like a bird. It quickly pecked four times.

The sharp bird beak accurately hit the copper ring.

"Ding! Ding!"

Four consecutive times.

The newly installed copper ring instantly shattered into pieces.

The craftsman was dumbfounded and quickly exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

He never expected that the copper pillar, which could only be hammered in with an iron hammer, could be easily pecked out like this.

As a blacksmith who had worked in Heishan Camp for decades, he had never seen such a strange thing.

Is this feathered beast defying the natural order?

"Ang!"

Guagua called out again.

This feathered beast immediately did something even more surprising.

Using its long beak, it quickly picked up all the parts, placed them on the workbench, and then put its right foot on it. Its beak moved swiftly like a tiger.

"Ding! Ding!"

The copper ring was installed back.

Exactly the same as before.

The craftsman was completely petrified.

Is this feathered beast a monster? Do you want to be a blacksmith too?

Beside them.

Cheng Han, after some contemplation and deduction, finally roughly determined the outline of the new script.

It includes many elements:

Dark revenge;

Just punishment;

Bloody slaughter and desperate battles;

Loyalty, honor, and never giving up!
