Defense Star XXIX, six o 'clock in the morning.
A major general appeared abruptly on the platform in front of the drill ground and looked down at the people below.
On the drill ground, those who were still whispering all shut their mouths and looked at the major general and the officer in front of them.
"Everyone, this mission is very important. I called you back from all places because of the urgency of the situation," the major general on the platform said calmly.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this.
"I'll cut to the chase. I've sent your respective missions to you. Check them yourselves and don't leak them to anyone else."
"Then take your subordinates and head to the frontline. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The people below shouted in response.
The major general did things quickly and decisively. He didn't say much at all. His short answer surprised Wang Teng.
Then, Wang Teng and Tiki looked at their intelligent wristwatches to understand their respective missions.
"Our missions are actually separate." Di Qi's face showed a hint of disappointment as he shook his head.
"Our missions are completely up to our superiors. We can't interfere." Wang Teng didn't mind. He had many tricks up his sleeve that weren't suitable for outsiders. It was more convenient to be alone.
However, it was a little troublesome to bring his subordinates along.
He felt that he was more suited to be a lone ranger.
"What a pity. Then let's compete and see who gets more military merits this time." Tiki put on a smile and said.
"My head hurts." Wang Teng glanced at him and sighed uncontrollably.
How did the cold and aloof Di Qi become like this?
Competing in military merits.
Wasn't this forcing him to show off?
He didn't want to show off. He just wanted to earn some military merits and quietly improve his strength.
"Then we'll talk about it." Tiki didn't wait for Wang Teng's response. He settled down and waved his hand and walked toward the helipad.
"Let's go!"
"…"
Why did he have to force him?
Wang Teng was speechless as he shook his head and walked towards Tarmac 18.
The subordinates assigned to him by the higher-ups were already waiting for him over there. Now, he just needed to go over and receive them.
When he arrived at helipad 18, a total of 20 martial artists stood there in a neat row, waiting for him. When they saw him coming, they all recognized him.
"Major Wang Teng!"
The twenty warriors saluted in unison. Their movements were neat and uniform. Their expressions were solemn as they looked straight ahead.
Wang Teng sized up these 20 soldiers and martial warriors. He was judging their ability in his heart.
Firstly, they were all star level martial artists.
They had the same power as Wang Teng. In terms of cultivation level, they were at least level-7 star state and above. None of them had a lower cultivation level than him.
Moreover, judging from their iron-blooded auras, it was obvious that they were experts who had come from the battlefield. They were not ordinary martial artists.
It would be very difficult to lead such a team if they could not convince the masses.
Wang Teng suddenly thought of what General Mokalén said before.
Since he was a major, it was impossible for him to start as a soldier.
However, he gave him a group of martial artists at the same level as him as his subordinates. Was this a test of his ability or a show of strength?
Wang Teng found it funny and shook his head.
He didn't say much and returned a salute. "Let's go."
"Please!"
A tall female martial artist with an indifferent expression stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation.
Wang Teng glanced at her.
This was a female from the Fox Race. She had some characteristics of the Fox Race. She was also a white fox. Her appearance was rather seductive.
However, her face was always cold, giving people a cold and defensive feeling.
"I will be your adjutant, Paige," the female martial artist said calmly.
"Adjutant?" Wang Teng was surprised.
Wasn't this the same as a secretary?
If there was something to do, the adjutant would do it. If there was nothing to do, the adjutant would … cough cough.
"Considering that you are new to Defense Star XXIX and don't know anything about this place, the higher-ups specially sent me to be your adjutant. I will provide you with all the information you need and explain it to you."
"Also, I'm not just an experienced intelligence agent. I'm also a powerful martial artist. I've been to the frontlines 137 times. As for my military achievements, you can check them on the military's intranet later. There is a very detailed explanation there."
"Therefore, I will assist you on the battlefield in all your missions on Defense Star XXIX," Paige introduced herself.
Wang Teng put away his scattered thoughts. His expression was serious, and he looked straight ahead.
"Okay, Adjutant Paige. I'll have to trouble you from now on."
"You can board the warship first. I will introduce you to every member of this team later," Paige said.
Wang Teng nodded and didn't say anything else. He followed her and boarded the small military warship in front of him.
"This is the military warship 'Eagle VII'. It's famous for its speed and agility. Its attack power isn't very strong," Paige introduced. "Of course, it has no problem dealing with dark apparitions at the Demon King level."
After Wang Teng boarded the 'Eagle VII', the other martial artists boarded the warship one after another and sat down on the seats on the side.
Paige sat directly beside Wang Teng.
For Wang Teng who was used to sitting in large spaceships, this spaceship was undoubtedly a little small.
However, the internal space was actually quite spacious. It could accommodate at least 30 people.
And there were only 21 of them.
After the team members boarded the warship, they didn't say anything. However, their gazes were always vaguely glancing at Wang Teng. There was even a trace of hostility and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
This was human nature.
If a powerhouse they were familiar with was their direct commander, these martial artists wouldn't have any complaints. However, Wang Teng came from nowhere. He didn't have any military achievements and hadn't even been on the battlefield before.
It would be strange if they were convinced to hand them over to such a commander.
On the battlefield, everyone was risking their lives. If this commander wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to come back alive.
With Wang Teng's sharp senses, these gazes couldn't escape his perception.
However, he didn't take it to heart.
At this moment, the warship slowly lifted off from the tarmac and flew toward their destination — the defense base at the third frontline.
The operation of the spaceship was naturally controlled by the warship's subsystem. They didn't need to worry about anything.
Wang Teng's eyes flashed. He said in his mind, "Yuan Gungun, I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, leave it to me." Yuan Gungun chuckled and began to hack into the warship's subsystem.
He was only doing this as a precaution. It was better for him to control the spaceship himself.
If Yuan Gungun controlled the warship, even if they encountered something along the way, they would be able to detect it immediately and react accordingly.
Although this was an intelligent system used by the military, it was only a subsystem on the spaceship. Its defense wasn't that strong. Yuan Gungun could easily hack into it without being discovered.
Naturally, Paige and the others didn't know that Wang Teng had taken over the warship.
"Major Wang Teng, let me introduce you to the members of our team," Paige asked Wang Teng for instructions. After getting Wang Teng's permission, she began to introduce them.
"This is Staff Sergeant Elvin. He has been on the battlefield 87 times and has made military achievements …"
What surprised Wang Teng was that Paige knew the members of this team like the back of her hand. She introduced their strength, realm, number of battles, military achievements, and so on clearly.
Wang Teng also had a better understanding of this team.
"That's enough, Adjutant Paige. Thank you very much for the introduction." Wang Teng smiled at Paige and then looked at the others.
"It's nice to meet everyone!"
"Since you've joined my team in the future, let's take care of each other."
"On the battlefield, it's a place where one's life is at stake. The only thing I can promise you is that I won't take your life lightly. That's all."
Hearing this, the hostility in everyone's eyes finally eased a lot.
In any case, this major didn't seem like the kind of aristocratic child they had imagined. He seemed easy to get along with.
In the past, aristocratic children often didn't take the lives of ordinary warriors seriously. They often heard that some of their comrades were cheated miserably under the leadership of aristocratic children.
Some warriors who came back alive had personally experienced it, so it wasn't groundless.
Wang Teng didn't say anything more and began to close his eyes.
There was still a long distance to the third frontline defense base, and the journey wasn't absolutely safe.
Especially after they were 30 kilometers away from the military base, the degree of danger increased greatly. Dark apparitions could appear at any time.
Once those dark apparitions saw a human warship, they would immediately launch an attack.
Because of this, the warship couldn't increase its speed too quickly. Otherwise, if they encountered an accident, they wouldn't be able to dodge in time.
Paige and the others were undoubtedly very familiar with this, so they didn't dare to be negligent along the way. They even took out their weapons so that they could react immediately.
When they saw Wang Teng's nonchalant expression, they couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression.
As expected, this officer was still an inexperienced newbie!
Due to Wang Teng's good attitude and the fact that they were all on the same boat and had no other choice, they could only accept it helplessly. They also became more conscientious and vigilant.
At most, they would let 20 kings carry a bronze-ranked warrior.
The 20 warriors looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
Very good, with such determination, there was no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things … No, there was no need to worry about not being able to carry a bronze-ranked warrior.
After the warship sailed for 50 kilometers, a red alert suddenly appeared on the main control screen of the warship.
Paige stood up and walked to the front of the main control panel.
The other warriors also grasped the weapons in their hands tightly, and the aura on their bodies suddenly became different.
It was just that they didn't know that Wang Teng had already noticed the appearance of darkness origin power when the alert appeared on the screen.
"Major Wang Teng, a group of dark apparitions has appeared ahead. According to the origin power fluctuations detected by the warship, there are at least 13 demon king dark apparitions," Paige said in a deep voice.
