"General, the Requiem Ceremony has been completed..." Xia Pingan, who had put away the Requiem Banner, came to Tang Guofeng. There was not a trace of pride on his face. Instead, he said apologetically, "Unfortunately, I was not in Xinchuan at that time, so I could not fight with them. They were all the best soldiers in this country who sacrificed their lives for the country. If possible, please send my condolences to the families of these soldiers!"
It was not until this moment that General Tang Guofeng looked at Xia Pingan seriously with a gaze that had not been there before. He nodded slightly and asked slowly, "You are... Xia Pingan!"
"Yes!" Xia Pingan nodded.
"Where are you from?"
"Xianghe!"
"Who else is in your family?"
"I have a younger sister, Xia Ning!"
"You are Xia Pingan, and your sister is Xia Ning. Your names are easy to remember. It seems that you have not been a summoner for long?"
"Yes, just a few months!"
"I heard that you were still carrying out a mission for the Demon Suppression Guard on the 14th. How did it go?"
"Yes, the mission was to track down a fugitive in the mountains. Due to the Heavenly Tribulation, a fire broke out in the forest, and I was separated from several team members. The mission was not completed, so I could only return to the provincial headquarters to report. On the way, I killed several demon rats and a demon fire spider!" Xia Pingan answered calmly without any panic.
General Tang Guofeng nodded and did not ask further about Xia Pingan's mission. For a person of his status, what he cared about was the safety of tens of millions of people in dozens of cities in Yizhou Province and the state of his troops. The questions he asked just now were just to get a general idea of Xia Pingan's situation. This was how he remembered and judged a person.
"Do you have any personal demands or goals for reporting back this time?"
After a few calm questions, Tang Guofeng finally asked Xia Pingan a crucial question.
"I want to earn a hundred contribution points in the Demon Suppression Guard and fight for a chance for my sister!" Xia Pingan said directly without hiding anything.
"100 military merit points. I understand. Other than that, what else do you want?"
"As a Summoner, of course I want to obtain more Realm Pearls. Realm Pearls are the source of a Summoner's strength, and I am no exception!"
Hearing Xia Pingan's frank words, Tang Guofeng nodded. After that, he turned around and looked at some military officers standing not far away as he shouted, "Adviser Guo, come here!"
A major immediately strode over and saluted Tang Guofeng.
"How many space invaders have the 87th Legion killed in Xinchuan City?" Tang Guofeng asked the staff officer.
Adviser Guo immediately replied loudly, "Reporting to Commander, the 87th Legion has killed a total of 187 Demon Fire Spiders, 216 Demon Liquid Spiders, 1163 Demon Rats, and 87 Sandworms in Xinchuan City..."
"This number is wrong..." Tang Guofeng said in a deep voice, "The 87th Legion has killed a total of 188 Demon Fire Spiders, 216 Demon Liquid Spiders, 1163 Demon Rats, and 87 Sandworms in Xinchuan City. Among them, the 87th Legion's High Priest Xia Pingan has killed 1 Demon Fire Spider, 6 Demon Liquid Spiders, and 31 Demon Rats. He has accumulated 101 military merit points. Xia Pingan also has a sister, who is currently in Xianghe City. Her name is Xia Ning. Xia Pingan's 100 military merit points will be used to exchange for Xia Ning's right to reside in the bunker. She will have priority to evacuate. Report this result!"
Xia Pingan was shocked. Tang Guofeng directly gave him 91 military merit points as soon as he opened his mouth. This originally somewhat difficult mission was actually completed in the blink of an eye.
"Yes, sir!" Adviser Guo replied.
The style of a soldier was straightforward and swift. However, this was not all. Tang Guofeng continued to ask.
"How many realm pearls are left in the Special Logistics Department?"
"The 113 realm pearls obtained from killing the invading creatures have all been transported away by plane last night and handed over to the Army. Two more realm pearls were discovered this morning and have just been sent to the Special Logistics Department!"
"Have the Special Logistics Department deal with the two realm pearls separately. They are a meeting gift from all the warriors of the 87th Legion to the High Priest of the Legion. I have specially approved that they don't need to be handed over to the Army!"
"Yes, sir!"
After giving out these instructions, Tang Guofeng looked at Xia Pingan. "This is the sincerity and goodwill of all the warriors of the 87th Legion to the High Priest of the Legion. Are you satisfied?"
Satisfied, very satisfied, simply too satisfied...
Xia Pingan liked this style of work very much.
In this situation, Xia Pingan felt that even half a word more would be pretentious.
Xia Pingan immediately stood at attention in front of Tang Guofeng and bowed slightly. "87th Legion High Priest Xia Pingan greets the Legion Commander!"
Although the High Priest of the Legion in the Army also had the ability to fight, fighting was not the main responsibility of the High Priest of the Legion. It was also not the most important aspect of the High Priest of the Legion.
The fireballs summoned by the High Priest of the Legion were not much stronger than the rocket launchers and flamethrowers in the hands of the High Priest of the Legion. The slave soldiers summoned by the High Priest of the Legion would also be reduced to ashes if shot by a 155mm heavy cannon. A volley of rocket launchers could make the attacks of any Demon Suppression Guard pale in comparison. The emergence of all kinds of weapons of mass destruction and all kinds of precision guided weapons gave the army of any large Fire Country a powerful combat power that could be instantly destroyed upon discovery.
As a Summoner, what ability did the High Priest of the Legion and all the soldiers value the most? There was only one, the Soul Pacifying Banner!
The Soul Pacifying Banner ability of the High Priest of the Legion allowed all the soldiers in the Legion to fearlessly charge towards the enemy and the most dangerous place without any hesitation.
After witnessing Xia Pingan's Soul Pacifying Ceremony, Tang Guofeng made up his mind to keep Xia Pingan in the Legion. Tang Guofeng even felt that Xia Pingan was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut in the Committee of Order.
"The treatment in the Legion isn't high. The salary of the High Priest of the 87th Legion is only that of a colonel. It's probably even lower than your lowest salary in the Committee of Order. However, as long as there are soldiers of the 87th Legion, you can do whatever you want in the future. All the legions in the Great Fire Country won't let their High Priests suffer any grievances!" Tang Guofeng patted Xia Pingan's shoulder.
"As a Summoner, it's a rare honor to be able to join the 87th Legion and become the High Priest of the 87th Legion when the country is in trouble!" Xia Pingan said solemnly.
"I heard that you have the ability to see things from afar. That's a pretty good ability. The High Priest of the 87th Legion is also a member of the Legion of Mages in the Military Management Committee. You might have to carry out some very dangerous missions. I have to tell you that this position isn't easy. At times like this, all of us have to do our best to face disasters and challenges!"
"Don't worry, Legion Commander. The situation is very tense right now. Even ordinary people might have to go to the battlefield. As a Legion Summoner, I naturally won't hide behind the soldiers of the 87th Legion. Since I've joined the Legion, I'm prepared to face all kinds of dangers on the battlefield with everyone at any time!"
Hearing Xia Pingan's attitude, Tang Guofeng nodded inwardly. He felt that this was the spirit that a Legion Summoner should have.
Just as Xia Pingan finished speaking, an officer walked in from outside and hurried to Tang Guofeng's side. He took out a piece of paper with something written on it and handed it to Tang Guofeng.
Looking at the document, Tang Guofeng frowned. "The Gao Family. Seven people died. When was it discovered?"
"Yes, seven. It was only discovered in the early hours of this morning. The dead included the chairman of the provincial council, Gao Peng. The police station has already sent a capable team to investigate, but they can't confirm whether a Summoner or a member of the Demon Eye was involved. They also didn't find any other useful clues, so the police station requested the Military Management Committee to send a Summoner who has dealt with members of the Demon Eye to take a look …"
"The Gao Family … Gao Peng …" Tang Guofeng pondered for a moment. This name and family still had some weight in the Yizhou Province. He suddenly looked at Xia Pingan. "Have you ever come into contact with a member of the Demon Eye before?"
Xia Pingan's face was calm, and there was no sign of abnormality. "I've come into contact with them a few times in Xianghe and Xinchuan, and I even found two hidden members of the Demon Eye in Xinchuan. A companion and I blocked them in the hotel and killed them!
"It just so happens that I have a mission for you now. Gao Peng, the chairman of the Yizhou Provincial Council, and some members of the Gao family were killed in the Gao family manor last night. Go and see if it was done by a member of the Demon Eye …"
"Yes!"
"Staff Officer Guo, go with Xia Pingan. After that, bring Xia Pingan to the logistics department to get his equipment and choose two guards for Xia Pingan …"
"Yes!"
