The flag of the Frozen Fortress had been raised.
Brigadier General Blair had suddenly become the brightest star of the Federation Army. He was even given a seat at the meeting of the generals.
The meeting of the generals was like a command center. Everyone in the meeting could decide the outcome of the battle.
Brigadier General Blair never thought he would be able to sit on the same level as the leaders he respected the most in his lifetime and discuss the evacuation of the rainforest.
The Battle of Banlo City was a battle to retake the city.
However, the Brown Rebels were occupying the rainforest between the Scorching River and Banlo City. They had to drive the Brown Rebels to the other side of the Scorching River.
As for when they would be able to take over Half-Ridge Mountain City, it was a matter for the future.
Therefore, the first thing Brigadier General Blair did after he was given a higher rank was to reward the soldiers according to their contributions.
The vanguard had the highest death rate, but the contribution was also the highest. As such, Mason was given the most credit!
His vanguard had basically destroyed the foundation of the fortress. Otherwise, the Crusaders would not have been able to get close enough to attack the enemy.
The Crusaders' formation was very powerful.
However, there was a flaw to it.
Its attack range was limited, and its movement was too slow.
The enemy's Wind Warships were on high ground, and their three thousand soldiers were a huge target. If the Wind Gear Wheels targeted them, half of them would be killed before they could reach the enemy's range. How could they possibly stand a chance against the Frozen Fortress and the Wind Warships?
Therefore, the vanguard was extremely important. They had to get close enough to threaten the Wind Warships and disrupt their formation, allowing the Crusaders to bombard the enemy from a safe position.
"Mason, you should know that we have planted the flag of the Federation in this fortress. Many freelance Mages are willing to join us, so I've decided to put you in charge of these freelance Mages. I've just finished a headcount. There are one thousand and three hundred of them!"
"So, Mason, you are now the Brigadier General of a thousand-man platoon!"
Brigadier General Blair patted Mason on the shoulder with an admiring look.
Mason was still in shock. After witnessing the power of the enemy's Wind Warships, he finally realized how ridiculous the Rebels in the trenches were.
However, he was excited once again when he received the great contribution and rewards!
A Brigadier General of a thousand-man platoon! He was a Brigadier General with real power!
He once had a teacher who always scolded him for being brainless, saying that he would never become a Brigadier General in his life.
Reality proved that the teacher was wrong!
He was only thirty-three years old, even though he was a military commander.
After becoming a military commander, he was basically a local tyrant in a second or third tier city. He could choose the wife with the best figure and the best face. He could live in a villa with the best view. Even the leaders in the city had to be polite to him. He could do whatever he wanted!
"The next mission is to attack the enemy's rainforest campsite. Our target is this campsite. When the time comes, I hope that your bravery will continue to spread and spread throughout the entire Federation!" Blair continued to pour soup into his mouth.
"What? Many people already know who I am?" Mason blurted out in surprise.
"Of course, you can go and ask around in our platoon. Who doesn't know you're Army Horn, Lt. Colonel Mason?" Blair said.
Horn of the Legion!
This was an extremely respectful title.
Mason nodded frantically. He felt like he had been possessed by the War God.
"These soldiers of yours have contributed a lot too. They have all been promoted to Brigadier General. Keep it up, boys, you are the heroes of the Federation, the guardians of the country!" Blair patted the soldiers on the shoulder.
Mofan, Zhao Manyan, and Mubai remained expressionless, but the man with the nose ring and the other soldiers almost tilted their heads and kissed their shoulders!
As soldiers …
They were honored to be patted on the shoulder by the Brigadier General!
They felt like every spell they cast was going to be a few times more powerful!
…
Mofan, Mubai, and Zhao Manyan left the camp and changed into their uniforms.
"You three … come with me," Mason said sternly after glancing at Mofan and the others.
Mofan's heart skipped a beat.
It seemed like Mason was not an idiot. He had realized the problem after two battles.
"Humph, don't think I don't know …" Mason glared at Zhao Manyan.
"Hehe, you found out!" Zhao Manyan was proud of himself.
He was right, they were not insignificant soldiers.
Moreover, with their strength, it wouldn't be a problem for them to influence a regional battle.
"I'm not going to argue with you, but if you want to survive on the battlefield, you better stick close to me and protect me when the time comes, do you understand?" Mason said sternly.
"Huh?"
"You're not going to argue with us?"
"Stick close to you?"
The three of them expressed their questions one by one!
"What? Are you really that dumb? It's already been two times, don't you know what's going on? You were only insignificant soldiers when you first joined us, but now you're wearing the uniform of a Brigadier General. Do you really think you can do it on your own? "Mason harrumphed coldly.
"Ugh …" Mofan did not know what to say.
"Forneus, do you know Forneus? She's the Mother of the Forest, the most gentle and loyal Goddess in the Andes Mountains. I've been worshipping the banana tree in front of my house since I was five. I'm actually worshipping Forneus. It's been thirty years, and my devotion has finally moved her! "Mason said.
The three exchanged glances with one another. Their faces were filled with different expressions.
"So you're saying that the reason why you've never lost a battle, won every battle, and been promoted continuously is because you've been kowtowing to a tree since you were five years old?" asked Mo Fan probingly.
"That's right!" Mason said confidently.
"Alright, as long as you're happy," Mubai did not have the energy to explain further.
"You three have been following me for a long time. You must have been affected by my presence. But I don't mind, since we've been through thick and thin together. As long as I, Mason, am able to live a good life, you'll be able to enjoy roast chicken and venison. If it's possible, I'll bring you to Forneus and worship her together! "Mason declared proudly.
After saying this, Mason left with his huge body swaying. He was probably going to check on his new soldiers.
Mofan, Zhao Manyan, and Mubai remained where they were, staring at Mason's back.
"How rare, it's been a while since I last saw someone as dumb as him!" Mofan said.
"We're so touched by his intelligence …" Zhao Manyan said.
