Under such circumstances, if the Forest Wolf Troop, which had suffered a great defeat before but had beco surprisingly elite after completion of its cultivation, were to suddenly achieve sothing astounding, the significance would be completely different.
So, what did it an when a new Evolutionary Body appeared—one that had never before been seen in the outside world, with an unknown origin and combat style, completely unfamiliar even to the veterans in the Legion?
It represented completely unknown intelligence, an absolute advantage, and priority in resource allocation!
At the sa ti, it also ant that this Pet Beast, the Forest Wolf, warranted the allocation of more resources and manpower.
Under such circumstances, as long as the capabilities of the Wanmu Wolf weren’t too disappointing, it would definitely be able to orchestrate a major surprise!
Not to ntion, according to Zhang Lie’s description, this Wanmu Wolf had already beco the most comprehensive top-tier Forest Wolf Evolver.
It wasn’t just Zhang Lie who was itching with curiosity; Lin Lei was too. After all, as the Division Commander of the Battle Wolf A Division, he also had a damn Forest Wolf among his Pet Beasts! Although this Forest Wolf wasn’t his main combat Pet Beast, it hadn’t evolved yet!
If force doesn’t work, resort to gentleness.
Thinking of this, Lin Lei sighed,
"Comrade—no, Squad Leader, since you hold the sa military rank as , you should also know that I’m not at liberty to distribute military honors as I please. The division indeed has a quota of honors, but all the battalions from the Battle Wolf A Division will be participating in this competition!
"With so many battalions requesting them in advance, where would I find enough to give? If I give to one, what about the next one that cos asking? I also beseech you, Squad Leader, to trust our soldiers! Those who can pass the selection are definitely the elite of the elite! Perhaps Breeder Su himself would like to do the selection?
"How about this: if your troops indeed achieve a ranking—I daren’t say first place, but as long as it’s within the top five of the entire army—it would be reasonable for to offer a second-class rit! You know a first-class rit isn’t realistic or possible, but a second-class is still feasible!
"Even if such high ranks aren’t achieved, after the event, I will still award a third-class rit. Although it’s true that for developing a brand new Evolutionary Body, if the Breeder were part of the Legion, it wouldn’t be difficult to receive a second-class rit. However, Breeder Su isn’t a mber of the Legion. So, if it really cos to that, I must ask that you and Breeder Su not publicize this third-class rit...
"As for an honorary military rank, you should also know that even I don’t have the authority in that matter."
These words were spoken with sincerity and genuine emotion.
Su Anyong gave a slight nod.
A second-class rit!
Of course, he knew this was indeed Lin Lei’s limit. He also knew that obtaining military honors as pure funding for cultivation before a battle was inherently difficult. This was precisely the outco Su Anyong had been aiming for.
The Legion was a place where strength and achievents were paramount!
Only achievents could be persuasive; only the strong could distinguish themselves.
Without achievents, it was normal to gain nothing at all.
Su Anyong’s early military experience had certainly taught him to acknowledge this.
He paused for a mont, then continued, "If the Forest Wolf Troop achieves a top-five position, then in addition to the second-class rit you’ve promised, your division will have to grant another third-class rit!"
"This... Alright!"
Top five, that will suffice! How many hidden dragons and crouching tigers are there in all the battalions of the entire army?
"Squad Leader, rest assured," Lin Lei said, thumping his chest in assurance, though he quickly added a caveat to avoid any grander demands. "It’s not just General Zhao whose attention you’ve caught; people from the other Legions also want to see the results. In terms of resource cultivation, there definitely won’t be any problems! After all, the highest level for this competition is Commander Level, so excessively advanced cultivation resources won’t be needed!"
He was truly intimidated by this ’Squad Leader.’
However, upon seeing the smile on Su Anyong’s face, Lin Lei finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright. Whenever you have ti, just send the people over quickly. I’ll be leaving in a couple of days and need to continue keeping an eye on my son during this ti."
Damn it! Zhang Lie cursed inwardly. If I had known this old fox who popped out of nowhere was leaving in a couple of days, I would have stalled for two days and brought it up then!
Lin Lei, however, paid no mind to these details. Instead, his eyebrows suddenly shot up, and he asked curiously, "Squad Leader Su, to which faction do you belong? I’ve never heard of such an important figure like you in Linzhou before."
Indeed, soone of his equivalent rank would be considered a significant figure in the local Legions.
However, Su Anyong rely glanced at him, his expression turning serious once more as he stated flatly, "Comrade Lin Lei, take note! According to confidentiality regulations, your position and rank do not grant you the authority to know this information! Furthermore, you are not permitted to disclose my military rank or military experience to regular Beast Tars, including Su Ping!"
"Uh..." Lin Lei’s expression on the video call stiffened instantly.
「The sun slowly set in the west.」
Finally stepping out of the Heart of Woods, Zhang Lie heaved a long sigh and imdiately redialed the number.
"Commander, what exactly is going on?"
Lin Lei’s irritated voice ca from the other end of the phone, "What else could be happening? Either this person is an imposter struggling for an excuse—though that’s unlikely; the badge and his knowledge of the Legion’s inner workings don’t seem fake. Plus, it would be too easily exposed. Or, he’s a retired or even active mber of the Special Beast Taming Forces!"
Within the Legion, there were indeed Special Beast Taming Forces; Zhang Lie had heard of them.
Each Special Beast Taming Force didn’t have many mbers.
But each mber was very special, their identities kept confidential because the types of Pet Beasts they used were an absolute secret! This ensured they wouldn’t be targeted based on their Pet Beasts during future special missions.
Since his enlistnt, Zhang Lie had heard legends that within the Dragon Nation’s Beastmaster Legion, there was a most special beast-taming unit known as the Dragon Group.
All its mbers’ Pet Beasts belonged to the True Dragon lineage.
Those mbers represented the top-tier, ace individual Beast Tars of the Dragon Nation’s Beastmaster Legion!
Of course, this was just a legend within the Legion.
"Alright, stop overthinking it. Your current mission is to bring those selected elites of the Forest Wolf Troop here to . I’ve invested a lot in you on this! If you ss this up again, you’ll be sent to shovel dung on a farm! Do you hear ?"
"Yes, sir! I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Zhang Lie saluted subconsciously.
Only then did the call end with a satisfied click.
Staring at the disconnected call, Lin Lei also sank into contemplation.
Special Beast Taming Forces, huh?
Who within the Beastmaster Legion hadn’t dread of joining one?
Once you joined, all your previous military records within the Legion would be hidden, your public record reverting to that of an ordinary person. But in reality, every Beast Tar in a Special Beast Taming Force was an absolute ace within the Legion.
Typically, the na of a Special Beast Taming Force would have so connection to the primary Pet Beasts they employed. Therefore, the na of any Special Beast Taming Force within the Legion was an absolute secret!
Although mbers of the Special Beast Taming Forces weren’t necessarily officer class, in such units, military rank held an even more special significance. All ranks were earned through strength and accumulated rits!
After all, Blue Star was a Beast Master Civilization, and a powerful Beast Tar could sway the outco of a considerably large-scale war.
Lin Lei felt a surge of emotion.
Every Special Beast Taming Force constantly faced life-and-death situations. Each mber was truly elite, tempered through all sorts of perilous environnts.
These things were too far removed for an ordinary Beast Tar in the Beastmaster Legion. Only those with exceptional talent, true one-in-ten-thousand seedlings, would be directly selected after enlistnt.
Clearly, this Squad Leader Su must be such a person.
However, Chief Lin, currently full of wild thoughts about Su Anyong, would never imagine the truth. He envisioned Squad Leader Su as a powerful, mysterious, retired or even active Beast Tar from a special force. In reality, this sa Squad Leader was squatting at the doorstep of a side room in his own ho. He listlessly puffed on a cigarette, bewilderedly watching a small Paperman inside. The Paperman waved a paper sword around its waist and glared with its eyes. Witnessing this, Su Anyong once again found himself doubting the aning of life.
