Sometimes, small figures also had their own advantages. They would not be remembered by people; neither would they encounter any trouble. They had small abilities, small responsibilities and small targets. Therefore, they could barely be noticed by big figures. Take this moment as an instance, Zhang Tie had been calm these days since he returned to the encampment. Even the 3rd battalion of Sword of Brilliance in Hicks Peninsula seemed to have forgotten about his existence. Therefore, Zhang Tie was happy to be free. Besides having meals outside at two fixed times, he would take a rest in his room and slowly recover his battle strength. Besides that, he would wash clothes and clean himself...
Almost all the fighters of the 3rd battalion were transferred here from all over Sacred Light Empire. Most of them didn't know each other. As more and more people fought to death, new people were constantly replaced. As a result, fewer and fewer people knew each other. Fred and some of his comrades-in-arms had either sacrificed themselves in the mountain ridge or were still executing tasks and had not returned to the encampment yet. Plus the rigid and strict rules and orders of Sword of Brilliance forbidding soldiers to drink, visit prostitutes, gamble and gather with more than 3 people in private, the encampment was tranquil. Zhang Tie stayed alone in the cabin. Nobody came to disturb him at all.
Not until the 6th morning after Zhang Tie came back did a waiter of Saguli come to Zhang Tie's room and let Zhang Tie put on clothes and report at the gate of the headquarters.
Zhang Tie put on his luggage as fast as possible. After that, he followed that waiter of Saguli to the gate of the headquarters.
Saguli and a black colonel in the regular military uniform of Sacred Light Empire with a grim look were already waiting there.
"Lord Saguli, sir!" Zhang Tie gave a salute towards the two people.
In the army of Sacred Light Empire, clergymen such as pastors should be called lord. By contrast, pure military officers in the army should be called officer. There was no general in the army of Sacred Light Empire. The highest military rank was colonel. Because all the generals were knights. After promoting to knights, they would automatically promote to mace pastors in Sacred Light Empire.
"You're Fred?" That colonel threw a glance at Zhang Tie.
"Yes, sir!"
"Do you know why I'm here?"
"Yes, I do!"
"Well, get in!" The black colonel pointed to a military jeep parked next to him.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything as he directly sat on the co-driver's seat.
This vehicle used a dual-drive engine which burned Fiery Oil, which was a symbol of status in the theater of operations.
After saying something to Saguli, the black colonel gave a salute towards Saguli. Closely after that, he got on the vehicle and started it before driving out of the encampment.
The black colonel didn't say much and didn't introduce anything. Zhang Tie also remained silent and didn't ask any questions.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The SUV took Zhang Tie to an expanded military airport in Feinan City as fast as a lightning bolt. A large transport plane with the symbol of Sacred Light Empire was already waiting there. The hatch at the rear of the transport plane was open. Zhang Tie's SUV directly entered the belly of the transport plane through the hatch.
When the black colonel opened the door, several soldiers on the transport plane had already used steel ropes and metal buckles to fasten the wheels of the vehicle onto the cargo space inside the plane cabin. The rear hatch of the transport plane was also slowly being retracted.
"Just sit here!" The black colonel said as he pointed at a seat in the cabin of the transport plane. Closely after that, he walked to the cockpit in front of the transport plane and threw Zhang Tie into the cargo cabin.
Playing a small role, Zhang Tie didn't mind it. He walked to the front of the seat, sat down and fastened the safety belt. In less than one minute, the four engines on both wings of the transport plane started. With the deafening sound of the engines, the transport plane slowly moved. After making a 90 degree turn, it slowly slid on the runway under the flag of the command platform in the distance. It moved faster and faster. Finally, after sliding for over 1,000 m, Zhang Tie felt the body of the transport plane lift up as it left the ground and flew into the air.
…
After flying for over 8 hours, the transport plane finally landed at an airport outside a big city which was ten times larger than Coldwater City in the evening. After gliding for a short distance, it stopped.
The black colonel then walked out of the front hatch and called Zhang Tie to get on the vehicle. After opening the hatch of the transport plane, he reversed the vehicle. After that, he drove out of the airport as fast as a lightning bolt. After driving dozens of miles, he sent Zhang Tie to another camp with the flag of Sacred Light Empire …
Everything was in the plan step by step …
This big city was the encampment of the headquarters of allied human forces in the eastern front line of Western Continent and Garby City, the capital city of Sterland Republic.
Ockham was in this city. However, Zhang Tie didn't come here to meet Ockham. Given his current level, even though he was not cannon fodder for the time being, he was still not qualified to meet the halos chief priest of Sacred Light Empire casually.
He had only come here to obtain another identity.
…
2 days later, after changing into a military uniform with the rank of first lieutenant, Zhang Tie was taken into a brilliant tent in the camp and stood in two rows of high-level fighters from LV 10 to LV 13.
As Zhang Tie's level was low, he was arranged to stand in the most remote position. There were only 4 LV 9 military officers like him.
All the fighters here were in high spirits as they chested out and waited for something, including Zhang Tie.
10 minutes later, two mace chief priests entered the tent under the welcome of some military officers and attendants.
Of the two Scepter Pastors, one looked to be in his sixties, while the other looked to be in the prime of his life, full of mettle.
"Your Excellency Bordili, these are the excellent military officers gathered in the camp of Garby City. You can choose them as you like. It's the grace of the God of Brilliance that they have the opportunity to become your personal attendants and listen to your instruction …" The 60 years old scepter chief pastor said to the young scepter chief pastor as he pointed at the two rows of military officers in the big tent passionately and flatteringly.
The young mace muling just nodded reservedly. After that, he slowly walked to the middle of the two lines and glanced over the faces of the commissioned officers of Sacred Light Empire with his sharp eyes.
When this young mace chief priest came to the front of those military officers, all the military officers held their breath and tried their best to show their best side.
The helmsman of mace muling Bordili had already sacrificed in the battle in Fengzi City 3 months ago. In that battle, mace muling Bordili killed a knight of Sacred Alliance Empire and became famous at once. As a result, he became the top among all the mace muling in the frontline of Sacred Light Empire. It was said that he was even received by the sacred light muling. His future was limitless.
Bordili, the mace chief priest, was preparing to select another personal attendant for himself. It was a very, very rare opportunity for these military officers and fighters who were still far away from promoting to knights in Sacred Light Empire to be the personal attendant of a mace chief priest.
Under the gaze of everyone else, the arrogant mace chief priest suddenly stopped in front of Zhang Tie as he looked at Zhang Tie from head to toe with his sharp eyes as if he wanted to see through Zhang Tie.
"You're from Sword of Brilliance?" Bordili's voice was a bit muffled; however, it didn't feel too oppressive. It seemed that he had already sensed Zhang Tie's qi.
"Yes!"
"What's your name?"
"Fred!"
"How many enemies have you killed on the battlefield?"
"27!"
"How many on the same level?"
"3!"
"Not bad!" Bordili nodded as he pointed at Zhang Tie, "It's you. Come here …"
"Yes, sir!" Under the envious eyes of so many people, Zhang Tie strode out of the team and stood on Bordili's side.
"Your Excellency Rooney, now that Fred comes from Sword of Brilliance, I think it's okay to have such a person on my side as a good example for all the fighters of Sword of Brilliance …" Bordili said to that senior mace muling.
"No problem, of course. All the members of Sword of Brilliance here will follow my arrangement. Even if they were not favored by His Excellency Bordili, they would also have to undergo arduous training before going to the battlefield. With the guidance and supervision of His Excellency Bordili on one side, of course, it would be better …" The mace chief priest called Rooney said with a flattering smile. After saying that, he turned around and looked dignified at Zhang Tie, saying, "Now that His Excellency Bordili has selected you as his personal attendant, I hope you could live up to the expectation of His Excellency Bordili and bear in mind your duties all the time!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Your Excellency Rooney, I have to go!"
After saying that, Bordili threw a glance at Zhang Tie before leading Zhang Tie out of the main tent.
A black limousine was parked not far from the main tent. A military officer of Sacred Light Empire was standing beside the door of the limousine. At the sight of Bordili, the military officer had opened the door of the limousine for Bordili respectfully. After letting Bordili sit in the back of the limousine, he closed the door of the limousine. After that, Zhang Tie made a detour from the other side of the limousine. According to the rules, as the personal attendant of the mace chief priest, he could only sit in the front of the limousine.
"Fred, sit in the back. I have something to tell you …"
After hearing the mace chief priest's order, Zhang Tie "naturally" sat in the back of the limousine.
After closing the door of the limousine, the black limousine started and drove towards Garby City outside the military camp. The privacy glass between the front and the back of the limousine had been raised, turning the back of the limousine into a private space. No matter what they talked about in the back, the driver in the front and the people outside the limousine could not hear or see anything.
Licking his lips, Bordili watched Zhang Tie with sparkling eyes full of endless curiosity and exploration. Zhang Tie hid his vigilance and humility. He didn't even look at Bordili; instead, he calmly took out a bottle of brandy and two glasses from the liquor cabinet on the vehicle. After making two glasses, he took one and passed the other to Bordili.
In this process, Bodi the mace muling didn't utter a sound; instead, he was still gazing at Zhang Tie as if Zhang Tie had some rarity in the world.
Only after being hesitant for half a second, Bordili had taken the glass from Zhang Tie calmly.
After having a sip, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and let out a sigh satisfactorily, "I've not drunk such a pure cherry brandy for a long time. How nostalgic …"
