vrcanaries Chapter 255 First Mission
Chapter 255 First Mission
Elder Yan stood on a high place in the square, his eyes sharp as torches as he scanned the neatly arranged soldiers.
His voice was loud and powerful, and through the spread of spiritual power, it echoed in every corner of the square:
"Today, Senior Zheng Su and Commander Li have important matters to attend to, so I will be in charge of the daily affairs of the barracks. Adjutant, assign tasks to the teams as before."
The adjutant responded and, with the captain behind him, quickly assigned tasks to each team.
His movements were skillful and quick, and every command was clear and precise.
After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly dispersed and prepared to go to their respective patrol areas.
Elder Yan turned to Hu Qing and Gu Yang and said gently:
"You two should join a patrol squad. Although your strength is not weak, military operations are different from those of a sect. They require more teamwork and actual combat experience. Start as squad members first and gain some experience."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang nodded in agreement. Although they were a little expectant, they also understood Elder Yan's good intentions.
They followed the adjutant's instructions and joined the ten-man team led by Captain Lin Feng.
Lin Feng is a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage. He looks a little shy, but his eyes reveal a calmness and determination, giving people a sense of reliability.
"Welcome two new members to join us." Lin Feng's voice was gentle. He extended his hand to Hu Qing and Gu Yang as a friendly gesture.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang also responded politely, their hearts full of goodwill towards the captain.
Since you have joined the team, you may become friends with them in the future, so you should deal with them well.
Lin Feng then introduced the other team members to the two, saying, "From my left to right, they are Sun Haoran, Zheng Zimo, Feng Yichen, Zhou Han, Sima Xingzhe, Wang Jingxing, Wu Ze, Han Chen, and Duchengfei. Let's go on our mission first. We'll get to know each other better as we chat."
The other members of the team nodded and smiled when they heard their names, and looked at Gu Yang and the others curiously, especially staying on Hu Qing for a few seconds.
How come this person is also in the early Nascent Soul stage, at the same level as the captain, and is actually a team member with them.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood in the team, feeling the eager gazes around them, and they scratched their heads uncomfortably.
In the sect, they rarely communicate with so many people, let alone become the focus of everyone's attention.
They looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
At this moment, there was a slight movement on Gu Yang's back.
Xiao Zi had been sleeping on Gu Yang's back for a while. Now she finally woke up and slowly opened her eyes.
It stretched and yawned, seemingly unconcerned with the noise around it.
However, when it climbed to the top of Gu Yang's head and saw the curious eyes of the ten people in front of it, Xiao Zi was frightened and retreated repeatedly.
Gu Yang was startled and was about to reach out to help, but he saw Hu Qing's quick eyes and hands, who grabbed Xiao Zi's tail and prevented it from falling to the ground headlessly.
The other members of the team were even more excited when they saw the little dragon.
They were all wondering which family this young master was from who was out to gain experience. Not only was he very powerful, he also had a dragon as a pet.
Wu Ze walked forward eagerly, wanting to touch Xiao Zi.
The others were not willing to be left behind and stretched out their hands towards Gu Yang, wanting to observe the little dragon up close.
"Wow, is this a real dragon? It's not scary at all. Spread your legs so your brother can see if it's the younger brother or the younger sister?" Wu Ze exclaimed, his eyes full of envy and curiosity.
"Zezi, are you a pervert? You don't even let the dragon go. What kind of breed is this? It looks really cute." Zheng Zimo asked curiously.
"Gu Yang, where did your little dragon come from? When you give birth to a dragon in the future, can you give me one? I can exchange it for something." Zhou Han on the side couldn't help but ask, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
"I also want!"
“I’m ordering two.”
"Why, old Sima, you're just booking a ditch!"
……
Gu Yang and Hu Qing smiled at each other, feeling a little helpless. They didn't expect Xiao Zi's appearance would cause such a sensation.
Hu Qing gently patted Xiao Zi's head to calm its fear, and said to the team members:
"Xiao Zi is our good friend. She won't let anyone touch her easily."
When the team members heard this, they were a little disappointed, but they didn't continue to pester him.
They know that in the military, everyone must respect each other's partners, whether they are people or pets.
Just then, the adjutant came to their team and coughed lightly.
When the team members came to their senses, they found that the other teams had left, leaving only the twelve of them standing stupidly in the square.
They showed an awkward smile on their faces and saluted the adjutant to express their apologies.
The adjutant smiled slightly and waved his hand to show his understanding.
It is inevitable that everyone is curious about the new members and their special partners.
He said gently, "Well, you should hurry and carry out your mission. Remember, no matter when or where, do not forget your responsibilities."
The team members responded in unison, quickly formed their formation and prepared to set off.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang also followed the team. Although they were still a little excited, they felt more of a sense of responsibility.
He is not in the sect now and cannot be considered a disciple of the sect, but a member of the army, shouldering the responsibility of defending his homeland.
The team began patrolling along the predetermined route. Hu Qing and Gu Yang followed the team, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Xiao Zi lay obediently on Gu Yang's shoulder, looking at the new environment curiously.
Its appearance not only brought joy to the team, but also made Hu Qing and Gu Yang more integrated into the group.
The team led by Lin Feng has embarked on a patrol route to the northernmost coastline of the city wall.
This was the task their team had drawn by lot. Although the task was difficult, no one complained because everyone knew that this was an important part of defending their homeland.
"Our main task is to prevent monsters or demons from destroying the city walls."
As they walked, Lin Feng explained the details of the mission to Hu Qing and Gu Yang. "Once you discover anything unusual, you must immediately send a signal to notify other teams and the military camp."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang listened attentively, their hearts filled with nervousness and anticipation.
This is their first important mission in the military camp and also a test of their abilities.
The group walked slowly along the coastline. The sand under their feet was warmed by the sun, and the sea breeze, with a salty and humid scent, gently brushed their cheeks.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked up and saw that the city wall was like a giant dragon, winding and twisting, with no end in sight.
They couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the grandeur of the city wall, and they also understood more clearly the responsibilities they shouldered.
During their patrol, they passed through villages, fields, and forests, and wherever they went, they would carefully check for any traces of demons.
Although they did not encounter any danger along the way, they did not relax their vigilance at all.
