The outskirts of L City was a military defense zone that belonged to the 5th Military Region. The entire 5th Military Region had a total of 50,000 members. Every year, the number of people who were sent away or recruited was maintained, and the number didn't fluctuate much.
Back then, Wen Zhao's pride was indeed enough for him to brag about it for the rest of his life. Just think about it, every MR had 50,000 members, and 36 MR's equivalent to 1.8 million soldiers. It was indeed rare for one of the 36 elite guards in the capital.
Ever since the Three Swordsmen Xu Cheng, Luo Yi, and Li Wei left the 5th MR, it was hard to find another superstar level soldier. This made the other rookies of the 5th MR laugh at them on the military forum, saying that the 5th MR's ranking this year was going to drop to the bottom.
One by one, angry comments and retorts.
A soldier from the 5th MR: "Guys from other MR, don't get cocky. The 5th MR is just going through a period of pain, and it will rise again in the future."
Soldier from the 20th MR: "Hey, you guys are the 5th MR in name, but you're ranked 28th. What do you think when you see my 20th MR ranked 11th?"
Soldier from the 8th MR: "The pot calling the kettle black. Our 4th MR didn't even say anything, and you jumped out to show your presence? But you are right, the 5th MR is really trash. I can't refute that. "
Soldier from the 15th MR: "Another wave of mockery before the competition? Who's going to dig a hole and wait for the ranking to come out and slap their faces? "
Soldier from the 3rd MR: "Comrades from the 15th MR, you guys are ranked last every year. Whose face do you want to slap?"
Soldier from the 15th MR: "Comrades from the 3rd MR, I just want to say that this year, we are really going to slap the 5th MR's face. I think they will be the first to be eliminated from the competition."
Soldier from the 22nd MR: "Just because of what you said, I think the 5th MR's comrades will use the 'don't do it, just be a coward' tactic to stall for time. At least then they won't be last."
Soldier from the 5th MR was furious. "Whoever is a coward is a bastard!"
Soldier from the 2nd MR: "Did you hear that? The 15th MR at the bottom every year. I'm scolding you guys. Can't you grow up? You guys still have the face to come to the forum to make people hate you guys every year."
Soldier from the 15th MR: "Let me tell you, our rookies are really strong this year. If we are still last this year, you are welcome to come and dig a hole.
Soldier from the 2nd MR: "Just because of what you said, we will break through the 15th MR and watch of your stream."
15th MR soldier: (crying emoji) Bro …
A soldier from the 5th MR was on his way to change shifts, and he looked at the forum on his phone and faintly smiled. Although he was a bit annoyed, he also felt that his brothers from the other military regions were quite funny. When he arrived at the place where he was changing shifts, he put away his phone, saluted the other comrades, and then it was his turn. Just then, a taxi stopped by the roadside, and a man in camouflage uniform walked over with a bag in his hands. The man handed him a booklet from the small window.
Xu Cheng took back the booklet and walked into the military area.
The soldier that was about to change shifts was a veteran. He curiously looked at Xu Cheng's back and said, "This guy looks a bit familiar."
The recruit asked curiously, "Which battalion?"
Veteran: "I think it's Xu Cheng from the Special Ops Division."
Recruit: "Xu Cheng?"
Then, his eyes widened. "Captain, isn't Xu Cheng the leader of the Three Swordsmen?"
Veteran: "Yeah, but I heard that he got sick and had to leave the army. From what Instructor said, it seems like he won't be coming back. Did I see wrongly?"
Recruit: "Captain, is Captain Xu Cheng really strong?"
Veteran: "For sure. The other military regions are strong because of their overall strength, and the others in our military region can't keep up with the pace of the Three Swordsmen. It can be said that the Three Swordsmen are dragging the others to participate in the competition every year. Without the Three Swordsmen to support us this year, we will probably be in a mess." The veteran sighed. "It's also because our region is relatively poor. Every year, the new recruits have problems with the nutrition system. So, our overall strength naturally can't compare with other military regions. Also, unlike other military regions, we don't have enough military resources, so we can't focus on training elite soldiers. In other words, the direction of our policies is different, and it's not realistic to rely on individual elite soldiers, so we can only go the collective route."
Xu Cheng was walking on the road in the military camp. Although he had only left for a few months, he came back again and experienced the dark baptism of society, which made him a lot calmer.
People from other battalions were eating in the cafeteria, and seeing him walk by, the veterans all put down their chopsticks in surprise. "Isn't that Captain Xu Cheng?"
"It's him! It's really him! Is he back? "
"Looking at the bag he's carrying, it should be."
"That's great, the big competition is approaching. I hope Captain Xu Cheng can lead the other rookies to stabilize the morale of our military region."
The door to the head instructor's office was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps approached. Then, a sonorous voice startled the head instructor. "Reporting to Head Instructor, Xu Cheng is here to report!"
The head instructor immediately raised his head. After seeing that it was Xu Cheng and that he was carrying a bag, he smiled. "Everything settled?"
Xu Cheng: "Pretty much, I'm here to report."
The head instructor smiled and took out a key from his drawer, tossing it to him. "The dorm of the Three Musketeers has been kept. Go get settled, and we will go to the cafeteria to eat later."
Xu Cheng took the key and nodded. Then, he turned around and went to his old dorm, which wasn't far from here. Xu Cheng opened the door and went in. Seeing that Luo Yi and Li Wei's beds were empty, he stood at the door and thought about all the bits and pieces. He didn't know how the two of them were doing, but he hoped that everything was fine.
Xu Cheng took out the framed photo of the Three Musketeers from his bag and put it back on the table. He smiled. "I'm back again."
This place didn't change, but the people had changed.
Coming out of the dorm, he saw the head instructor was already waiting for him downstairs. Xu Cheng walked down the stairs and followed him into the cafeteria of the Special Ops Division. There were a lot of rookies eating there, but when some veterans saw Xu Cheng stand up, the rookies also stood up for some reason.
"Captain Xu Cheng?" someone immediately called out with uncertainty.
Xu Cheng nodded and smiled. "I'm back. Is everyone doing okay?"
Just as everyone was looking at Xu Cheng, in a corner, different voices also came. "This Xu Cheng is back. Doesn't that mean that this competition is going to be centered around him? Didn't this guy get a strange disease and withdraw from the team? Hu Bing, I'm afraid you have to give up your captain position. "
