Chapter 620 -634: Three People in a Team
“I declare that these three individuals will join the Vanguard Camp directly, forming their own team,” Scarface glanced at the surrounding Vanguard Camp members and spoke.
A smile hung on Scarface’s face; this time, the Vanguard Camp had struck it big. Three men and a dog, if used well, could match half the combat strength of the Vanguard Camp.
“Joining the Vanguard Camp directly? That breaks the rules. Usually, shouldn’t they be washing everyone’s clothes for a month first?”
“Hehe, have you forgotten what the rules of the Vanguard Camp are?”
“Don’t be foolish. If you could push the boss to this extent, you would also be an exception.”
The surrounding members of the Vanguard Camp all looked at Mu Can with awe; the three of them had completely won their recognition through their strength.
After all, not everyone has the ability to force Scarface to use Combat Energy Armor.
“Lord Commander, don’t forget, these three youngsters are favored by General Chang Ming, they are only here for a few days to be honed,” the soldier who brought Mu Can and the others here spoke to Scarface with a smile.
“What did you say?” Scarface’s smile disappeared, his eyes widened, staring coldly at the soldier.
The soldier felt a chill hit him, remembering that although this man held the position of Commander, in terms of strength and influence, he was not inferior to General Chang Ming.
“I mean, Lord Commander should ensure the safety of these three youngsters.” The soldier almost wanted to smack himself for meddling in the affairs of higher-ups. Now caught in a difficult spot, he had no choice but to pluck up the courage to speak. If this offended Scarface, finding an excuse to beat him up would be very likely, and General Chang Ming would certainly have nothing to say.
“Since when does a mere trusted aide get to dictate what happens in the Vanguard Camp?” A cold sneer appeared on Scarface’s face.
Although it was mid-summer, the soldier was still sweating profusely; the fear instilled by Scarface’s notorious reputation was palpable. Known for his ruthless combat, Scarface was renowned across the entire camp. Where other camps might occasionally have incidents of stealing credit, nearly no one dared to provoke the Vanguard Camp members.
They were a bunch of lunatics, a group of desperadoes.
Seeing the soldier’s tense body and anxious eyes, Scarface’s stern expression slowly relaxed. Seeing Scarface smile, the soldier finally felt he could breathe again; just a moment ago, he had been so scared, he had forgotten how to breathe.
“Go back and tell the General, once someone joins the Vanguard Camp, unless he dies or wants to leave by himself, I will not let him go,” Scarface said to the soldier.
This was also a rule of the Vanguard Camp. After joining the Vanguard Camp and surviving several deadly battles, the accumulated military contributions would be enough for a terrifying promotion in military rank. Over the past few years, every personality that emerged from this Vanguard Camp was revered by others. This was why Scarface was so confident; after all, many soldiers who had come under his command now had ranks surpassing his own, which is why even when facing a general, he was without fear.
Hearing the words of the man with the scarred face, the soldier nodded and respectfully took his leave after saluting.
He already felt that he had misspoken. Even General Chang Ming does not inquire into the matters of the Vanguard Camp, let alone understand why General Chang Ming sent these three promising recruits there.
“Same old rules, set up a feast tonight to celebrate the new arrivals,” the man with the scarred face said with a cheer, starting to smile happily as he watched the soldier leave and shouted to the other warriors around.
A cheer erupted. Although drinking was forbidden in the army, that rule was nothing in the Vanguard Camp. Every time new recruits joined, the entire Vanguard Camp would celebrate with drinking and revelry all night.
The successive generals of the main camp also tacitly acknowledged this fact, without questioning or interfering. After all, the warriors of the Vanguard Camp were always fighting in dangerous locations, and casualties were common in nearly every battle, so they had certain privileges.
“Congratulations on joining the Vanguard Camp.”
“Ha ha, finally some new recruits.” 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
“We can drink again, woo hoo, the last brother who drank with me, I’m the only one left now.”
Upon hearing the words of the man with the scarred face, a group of warriors burst into cheers. Normally, they hardly ever had access to alcohol; it was only allowed when new recruits arrived or after a major battle.
…
“Come, I toast to you, you performed well today.”
Mu Can and the other two truly experienced the intensity of Vanguard Camp’s hospitality. The rugged men coming to drink were unending, and even the most physically strong, Da Zhuang, was nearly knocked out, barely managing to stay on his feet.
“Come, drink, drink!” Da Zhuang also let loose completely, drinking openly and indiscriminately, which instantly won everyone’s favor. Vanguard Camp appreciated such warriors – good with liquor implied good character.
Mu Can also couldn’t escape the fate of being forced to drink, but fortunately, when he was halfway through, the man with the scarred face called him into the tent. This rescued Mu Can from a dire situation; the beasts of Vanguard Camp were truly like reincarnated alcoholics who drank desperately upon seeing alcohol.
“Sit!” The man with the scarred face was in a good mood, and after calling Mu Can over, he directly had him sit opposite to himself. Although he was the Commander, his treatment wasn’t much different from that of the soldiers outside. The same alcohol and dishes were laid out, but he was the only one drinking in this large tent.
“Why doesn’t Lord Commander join everyone outside for a drink?” Mu Can sat down obediently. Their, the three recruits’, future days depended on this man with the scarred face, and their rapid advancement in strength relied on him too.
“If I went out, they would be more reserved. These Vanguard warriors have it tough; they deserve some stress relief.” When only Mu Can was present, the man with the scarred face dropped his fierce demeanor, speaking with a touch of scholarly elegance becoming of a military leader.
“Then, why has Lord Commander summoned me here?” Mu Can obediently sat there and continued to ask.
