126: Chapter 126 Don't try to take it! He's from my Seventh Battalion!

Upon hearing that Lin Yuan was there to join the army, the Regimental Commander was momentarily dazed. What was the situation? Such a powerful expert was here to be a soldier?

Experts of this level, if they were to join the military, usually went directly to the high-level military command to apply for a rank of Division Commander or higher; he had never heard of one coming to the front lines to be a common soldier.

"Are you sure you're here to join the army? An expert like you can apply for a high military rank at headquarters. There's no need to be on the front lines,"

The Regimental Commander asked with some uncertainty. Martial Dao Grandmasters were experts among experts and wouldn't casually appear on the front lines. These people would only take action if a beast exceeding the Seventh Rank appeared.

"I'm sure. I came here specifically to be on the front lines. As warriors of our generation, we should take saving the world as our responsibility. How can there be a reason not to go to the front and kill the enemy?" Lin Yuan said with his head held high, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

Not go to the front lines? What a joke. If he didn't go to the front, would ability points just deliver themselves to his door?

The Regimental Commander was moved and excitedly shook Lin Yuan's hand.

"Good! Good! You are truly a role model for the warriors of our generation. Since you have this ideal, from today onwards, you are a soldier of my Third Combat Regiment! At the next military meeting, I will submit an application for you and strive to get you as high a rank as possible. For now, please endure the grievance and serve as an ordinary soldier."

"Yes, Commander!" Lin Yuan responded loudly.

"Good, good, good. We soldiers don't care much for formalities; as long as you follow orders and obey commands, it's fine. By the way, my surname is Zhang. You can call me Commander Zhang. Let me assign you to a combat unit."

"Alright, Commander Zhang."

"Reporting, Commander! I believe Comrade Lin Yuan should join our First Battalion. Our First Battalion is the sharp knife of the combat units. With Comrade Lin Yuan's addition, we will surely be able to complete even more arduous combat missions!"

Seeing that the Regimental Commander was about to assign Lin Yuan, First Battalion Commander Li immediately stepped forward impatiently.

"Reporting, Commander! I believe Comrade Lin Yuan should join our Third Battalion. The overall strength of the First Battalion is already strong enough. If Comrade Lin Yuan joins our Third Battalion, our regiment will add another sharp knife battalion!"

"Reporting, Commander! He should join our Second Battalion..."

"Fifth Battalion..."

"Sixth Battalion..."

"Fourth Battalion..."

...

"Quiet! What kind of behavior is this? I have already made a decision!" Commander Zhang pondered for a moment. "I have decided that Comrade Lin Yuan will join..."

"Wait a minute!!!"

Just as Commander Zhang was about to announce it, an urgent voice rang out.

Four figures were seen rushing toward them from a distance. Three of them were running exceptionally fast, as if they were riding rockets...

The one who shouted for them to stop was one of these three. This person was the Seventh Battalion Commander, who had rushed over specifically to snatch the person after hearing news of Lin Yuan. Beside him were Li Chifeng and Captain Liu.

"Eh? It's the Seventh Battalion Commander. What is he doing here to join the fun?"

"Who knows? He couldn't also be here to fight for Lin Yuan, could he?"

"No way, right? With the Seventh Battalion's strength, how do they dare to snatch people? His Seventh Battalion is only responsible for perimeter cleanup. Letting a powerhouse like Lin Yuan follow them—wouldn't that be a waste?"

The various battalion commanders immediately began to discuss.

The next moment, they heard the Seventh Battalion Commander roar, "Don't snatch him! He's from my Seventh Battalion!"

"Seventh Battalion Commander, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Commander Zhang was about to announce it. Can you overrule the Regimental Commander?" First Battalion Commander Li spoke up immediately.

"That's not what I meant. Comrade Lin Yuan originally found Captain Li of my Seventh Battalion to request enlistment. I just didn't have time to finish the paperwork for Comrade Lin Yuan before he went to support the front lines first. Therefore, Comrade Lin Yuan is a soldier of our Seventh Battalion," the Seventh Battalion Commander said, refusing to back down.

"This..."

Commander Zhang suddenly didn't know how to handle it, so he looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly. Things were indeed as the Seventh Battalion Commander said, and Li Chifeng and Captain Liu were the first ones he had met. Now that the Seventh Battalion Commander had brought the two of them along, he was clearly playing the emotional card.

However, Lin Yuan felt that joining other battalions might be more restrictive. If he entered the Seventh Battalion, it might be more suitable. Moreover, looking at the expectant gazes of the three men, he really didn't have the heart to refuse.

"Commander Zhang, what the Seventh Battalion Commander said is not wrong. Why not let me join the Seventh Battalion? However, I have one request."

"Go ahead."

"I request the privilege of independent action. If there is a battle, I must be present. As for when to strike, just follow your arrangements, Commander," Lin Yuan said.

"Good, no problem!"

Commander Zhang agreed without hesitation. He naturally hoped to place a nuclear weapon like Lin Yuan, who could be used without limit, on the front lines. This way, the casualties of the soldiers could be minimized.

With such a powerhouse as a bodyguard, the nature of this beast tide changed instantly. It was no longer a disaster, but a great opportunity for troop training...

Upon hearing this, the three from the Seventh Battalion immediately showed brilliant smiles. Their Seventh Battalion was truly about to rise.

In the future, many people would surely be willing to join his Seventh Battalion, unlike before when the personnel configuration wasn't even complete, let alone having much combat power.

...

With the issue of his identity resolved, Lin Yuan looked into the distance. Fierce beasts were beginning to gather there again. It seemed this beast tide had not completely passed; the fierce beasts actually showed signs of making a comeback.

Lin Yuan's mood immediately improved. It seemed the ability points hadn't hit their limit yet; there was still a chance.

Commander Zhang also clearly noticed that the fierce beasts showed signs of a renewed attack and immediately issued an order.

"All soldiers, pay attention! The fierce beasts show signs of a counterattack. All units, form up and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

The entire army responded in unison, their voices uniform and soaring to the clouds.

Now, with Lin Yuan as a guarantee, the soldiers were full of confidence and their fighting spirit was high.

Quickly, under the command of Commander Zhang and several battalion commanders, the army immediately assumed a combat formation.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan and the three from the Seventh Battalion were somewhat idle, as they had not been assigned to the formation.

"Comrade Lin Yuan, this beast tide has weakened, and we are sufficient to handle it. Go back to the garrison with the Seventh Battalion Commander and the others first. Settle in, and tomorrow you can join the army in battle," Commander Zhang said to Lin Yuan.

"Alright, thank you, Commander Zhang. I'll come back tomorrow then."

Lin Yuan hadn't completed the paperwork yet, nor had he received his military uniform or equipment. He also had to arrange for accommodation and other issues, which indeed needed to be handled.

Furthermore, the soul body would not dissipate tomorrow, so there was no rush. In any case, no one was competing with him.

"Don't worry, Commander. Just leave Comrade Lin Yuan to me, and I guarantee everything will be arranged!" the Seventh Battalion Commander immediately promised.

Subsequently, Lin Yuan followed the three of them and left Void Rift No. 3.

Li Chifeng and Captain Liu were now somewhat restrained when facing Lin Yuan, not as relaxed as when they first met.

After all, it was normal to have a bit of awe when facing a powerhouse.

However, Lin Yuan remained kind throughout and didn't show the slightest hint of arrogance, which made the soldiers who interacted with him feel that he was very easygoing.

Once everything was settled, Lin Yuan was considered established in the military camp.

Early the next morning, he dressed in his military uniform, strapped on his standard-issue combat saber, tucked various medicinal supplements and tactical equipment into his belt, and re-entered Void Rift No. 3.

Even though this equipment wasn't of much use to him, it looked cool. What man could refuse a handsome military uniform?
