33: Promoted, Deputy Company Commander Ye!

Ye Liuyun stared blankly for half an hour, but unfortunately, no more adorable flying Vicious Beasts came to their deaths. However, his gaze was already drawn to the scene in the distance.

A black torrent of steel stretched like a Great Wall across the mountain ridge. In the distance, smoke billowed, and even from this far, he could smell the scent of blood.

“That’s the front line. Small groups of Vicious Beasts launch assaults every day,” Xu Feng said in a low voice. Death happened here daily.

The daily death toll from Daxia’s six front lines combined was an astronomical number.

Ye Liuyun’s pupils trembled. Battles were fought every day. The peace and tranquility existed because people were shouldering the burden. Looking inward from the blank area, it was a scene of blooming flowers and towering buildings.

Outside the blank area, smoke filled the air. This blank area was like a chasm, with the inside and outside being two completely different worlds.

And this was the real world.

“Landing countdown, five minutes.”

As the voice sounded, the hatch slowly closed. Once they reached the front line, there would be no more Vicious Beast attacks from the sky.

Those stragglers were mostly low Rank, having fortunately evaded the anti-air corps’ blockade.

As the countdown went from five minutes to ten seconds, and then ended.

The transport ship landed steadily.

The hatch opened, and Ye Liuyun immediately followed Xu Feng outside.

Seeing it from the sky was one feeling; now, standing firmly on the ground was another.

There were many other transport ships around.

“Assemble!”

As Xiao Chen’s words fell, the soldiers inside the cabin quickly rushed out and stood in a line. As Ye Liuyun was about to join, Xu Feng grabbed him.

“From now on, Ye Liuyun is appointed as your acting Deputy Company Commander of Battle 95th Company.”

“Huh?” Ye Liuyun turned back, looking at Xu Feng in astonishment. He had just started and was already an officer?

Good heavens, the promotion was so sudden.

“Return to the camp for rest and recuperation. You will be officially integrated into the combat sequence tomorrow,” Xu Feng waved his hand, then turned and left.

No one was dissatisfied with Ye Liuyun’s direct promotion to Deputy Company Commander. His strength had already been demonstrated by that single act just now.

Besides, everyone knew he was only here for training and wouldn’t stay here indefinitely.

Following the team into the living area, rows of black structural houses stood, each clearly marked with its regiment, battalion, and company.

It was easy to identify.

After the soldiers entered their rooms, Ye Liuyun was led by Xiao Chen to a room in the corner.

“Deputy Company Commander Ye, this is your dormitory. Dinner is at 7:30 PM.

I’ll have someone call for you later.”

“Alright, thank you, Company Commander.”

“Don’t be so polite. It’s quite simple inside, so please make do,” Xiao Chen said with a smile.

“I didn’t come here to enjoy myself. I didn’t even imagine having a single dormitory at first.”

Ye Liuyun shook his head. He hadn’t dared to dream of such treatment before coming. He had inexplicably been promoted and now had a single dormitory.

Xiao Chen briefly introduced the camp rules to Ye Liuyun and then left.

From his introduction, Ye Liuyun learned that the camps here were generally divided according to their organizational structure. Unless there were other circumstances or orders, soldiers were not allowed to wander around and had to stay in their barracks, in case a battle broke out and people couldn’t be found.

This was especially important because inspectors would occasionally check the camp, and if anyone was found wandering, the punishment would be severe.

Ye Liuyun, having come here, would certainly abide by these rules. He wasn’t a fool who would deliberately go against their system.

However, what truly shocked him was that the Eastern Theater Command currently had over a hundred regiments spread out.

The defensive areas of each regiment, when combined, covered thousands of miles of territory.

It was truly a grand spectacle.

Lying on the bed, Ye Liuyun felt quite excited. Going to the battlefield was still a very unfamiliar concept to him.

He relished a place others avoided. From the flying Vicious Beast group he saw today, he knew he had come to the right place… Battle 85th Regiment Command Post.

Inside the command post, many electronic screens were displayed, with a person sitting in front of each screen, monitoring in real-time.

Artificial intelligence performed double checks to prevent any Vicious Beasts from breaking through the defensive zone.

“Report, Xu Feng has completed his mission and requests to return to the team.”

Outside the door, Xu Feng stood at attention, saluting and speaking loudly.

“Return to the team.”

On a high platform, a resolute middle-aged man nodded slightly at the returning Xu Feng. “Well done. A provincial top scorer emerged from the examination hall you supervised this time, and the officers of the Northern Theater Command even commended our unit.”

Regiment Commander Zhao Donglai said with a smile.

“Regiment Commander, that top scorer came with me.”

“What?”

Zhao Donglai’s face showed confusion upon hearing this.

The staff present all turned to look at Xu Feng.

“It’s like this, Regiment Commander. This top scholar wanted to train on the battlefield. His adoptive father, Old Ning, the Chief of Lu Province, Ning Nanguo, called the officers of the General Command Department.

Since I was in Quancheng, I brought him along when I returned.

This kid just now, on the way, personally defeated over thirty Sky-hunting Eagles. He’s very formidable.”

Listening to Xu Feng’s words, Zhao Donglai frowned. “Train on the front line? What does he think this place is? Who will be responsible if he gets hurt?”

“Regiment Commander, your worries are completely unnecessary. That kid’s strength is no less than mine. He killed over a hundred low-level Vicious Beasts during the college entrance examination.

Dozens of first-tier ones, and even one second-tier one.

His combat power is outstanding! And it was the General Command Department’s order, so I couldn’t refuse,” Xu Feng said, spreading his hands helplessly.

“Where is he now?” Zhao Donglai’s expression was displeased. He utterly detested such matters. This was a battlefield, not an amusement park.

“I’ve assigned him to Battle 95th Company as Deputy Company Commander. He’ll lead the charge during tomorrow’s battle.”

“Charge?”

“Yes, he requested it himself. Regiment Commander, rest assured, he is absolutely not here to gild his resume or gain experience. All of his relatives died in a beast tide, so he harbors a deep hatred for Vicious Beasts.

That’s why he gave up his vacation to come to the front line to fight and train against Vicious Beasts. Moreover, he is from National Martial Arts University.”

Xu Feng looked at Zhao Donglai and relayed all of his worries.

He felt bitter inside. This General Command Department was truly causing trouble. They told him but not Zhao Donglai, which was clearly setting him up.

“Let me make it clear, I won’t give him any special privileges. Everyone is treated equally here. I’ll just consider him a soldier.” Zhao Donglai said nothing more after hearing Xu Feng’s explanation.

But he still harbored a grudge about the matter. He was an upright and honest man and truly disliked such things.

“Absolutely no special privileges. That kid is eager to kill more Vicious Beasts,” Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. His Regiment Commander was famously rigid and inflexible, known as the “Black, Foul, and Hard” in the Eastern Theater Command.

Dark skin, foul expression, hard personality.

Many people in the meeting room overheard their conversation, and their eyes were filled with curiosity about this top scorer.

When it was time to eat, they wanted to see this Genius who had voluntarily requested to come to the front line.

“By the way, what was that kid’s name again?”

“Ye Liuyun.”

“Tomorrow, withdraw Battle 102nd Company from defending Sector 792 and replace them with Battle 95th Company. If he shows even a hint of cowardice, send him back to me.”

“Yes!”

Xu Feng smiled bitterly to himself. Although the Regiment Commander was all excited now, he probably wouldn’t bear to let Ye Liuyun go once he got to know him…
