Chapter 161: Reclamation Troops
Because this world was infested with Fierce Beasts, and resources were scarce, many technological developments had taken a different path.
For example, ordinary vehicles, from being able to burn fuel, had been transformed into burning Fierce Beast essence crystals!
The 15th Reclamation Unit.
Yi Dong and Lugh met the 15th Reclamation Unit’s leader, Sang Kun!
Sang Kun was a middle-aged burly man. His skin was dark, and he had a big beard. His expression was extremely solemn.
He was a Gold-Grade Beast Master and was very powerful!
“Captain Sang Kun, this is Lugh!”
“Captain Sang Kun!”
Lugh gave a standard military salute to Sang Kun!
“I’ve seen your information!” Sang Kun’s serious and cold face suddenly broke into a smile. “Very good!”
This smile made Lugh feel a little flattered!
“Captain Sang Kun, I’ll leave Lugh to you!”
“Protect yourself. I’ll take good care of Lugh!”
After Yi Dong and Sang Kun greeted each other, he left Mysterious Fantasy Mountain.
The Reclamation Unit had Beast Masters also had ordinary soldiers!
However, the Reclamation Unit’s mobile unit was made up entirely of Beast Masters.
The 15th Mobile Unit of the Reclamation Unit had a small unit under its jurisdiction. There were a total of Beast Masters who ate eight different kinds of food. Among these Beast Masters, the weakest one was also at Bronze-Grade.
Sang Kun stroked his big beard and asked, “I heard that you have a flying pet. That pet can also fly you?”
“Yes!”
“Then do you fight in a group or alone?”
Lugh was surprised. “Is there a choice?”
“Of course there is a choice!” Sang Kun smiled and said, “Beast Masters can summon several Divine Beasts to fight. Because the Divine Beasts are equipped with different equipment, they often have different fighting styles. Some Beast Masters are suitable for fighting in groups, and some Beast Masters are more suitable for fighting alone!”
“I want to choose to fight alone!”
Sang Kun nodded. “With flying-type divine pets that can carry people, you are indeed a one-man combat team. I will a.s.sign you to the First Team. All of them are experts who are good at fighting alone. They can be considered the elites of our 15th Mobile Unit!”
“Thank you, Captain Sang Kun!”
Then, Sang Kun found the captain of the First Team, Mora, and introduced Lugh to him!
“Captain Mora, Lugh was sent here by the army, and he’s a genius. You have to take good care of him!”
“Could he be a student who graduated early?” Mora couldn’t help but ask when he saw Lugh’s extremely young appearance.
“Yes, he just graduated early a few days ago!”
Mora nodded. “Alright, follow me!”
Lugh followed behind Mora, and Mora asked him, “Then do you know Moqiong from Grade 3 Cla.s.s One?”
“No!”
Lugh didn’t have any recollection on this name.
But this was normal. After all, he didn’t stay in school for long, and most of his time was spent fighting.
This was a Grade 3 student, so he was even less familiar with him.
“That’s my nephew!” Mora stopped as soon as he finished speaking. He looked at Lugh in surprise. “Didn’t the captain say that you graduated early? How could you not know my nephew?”
“I skipped a grade. I only stayed in Grade 3 Cla.s.s One for a few days, and I graduated straight away. I don’t know many of the students in Grade 3 Cla.s.s One!”
“What? You skipped after a few days? Where were you originally from? And age? No way, graduated two years early?”
“No, I’m a freshman this year. I graduated three years early.”
Mora widened his eyes and looked at Lugh as if he was looking at a monster.
“How long have you been awakened?”
“More than a month!”
Mora was suspicious. “You graduated through the back door?”
“No, with the strength of a Bronze Divine Beast, I should be able to graduate, right?”
“You’re a f*cking genius!” Mora was in a mess. He pulled his hair hard. “But when it comes to our team, you have to be careful. Our First Team has a lot of troublemakers. Maybe they will find trouble with you. But don’t mind them, they don’t have any bad intentions!”
Lugh nodded. “I understand!”
The First Team were all fighting alone.
Other than them being suitable for fighting alone, they definitely had some strength. Perhaps there were some problems with their personalities, and they were not suitable for teamwork!
Perhaps the First Team was a concentration camp for troublemakers!
After pa.s.sing through layers of sentry posts, Lugh followed Mora to a wooden barracks.
In the empty s.p.a.ce in the middle of the barracks, there were three to four men with strong auras lying on the gra.s.s leisurely, as if they were chatting about something!
The moment Mora approached them, they sat up from the gra.s.s.
When they noticed Lugh, their eyes lit up!
There was a newcomer?
This meant that there would be fun!
“Let me introduce everyone. This is Lugh, the genius who just graduated from the Divine Beast Academy earlier today!” Mora emphasized, “He awakened a month ago and applied to graduate earlier a month ago. He’s the strongest genius in the history of our Seven Star City!”
“F*ck!”
“Boss, are you bragging?”
“That’s right. I also graduated from the Divine Beast Academy. Don’t lie to me. Bronze-Grade in a month?”
…
Mora said, “Just because you guys can’t do it, doesn’t mean that others can’t do it?”
At this moment, Mora had completely forgotten how shocked he was when he heard that Lugh graduated in a month!
“Well, Lugh, you can find an empty barracks to live in first!” Mora said, “Our First Team doesn’t have any big rules. We only go out to carry out missions when there is a mission. When there is no mission, you are allowed to hunt Fierce Beasts, but you need to report in advance!”
Lugh was surprised. “So free?”
A middle-aged Beast Master next to him smiled and said, “Of course, only our First Team is famous for its freedom!”
“The First Team is a bunch of lazy and undisciplined people, but they are Beast Masters!”
At this point, Mora couldn’t help but sigh!
But they were all Beast Masters!
In this world, Beast Masters were the safety of the base city.
Seven Star City wanted to recruit as many Beast Masters as possible and gather them under their command!
Even some Beast Masters who were undisciplined would think of ways to recruit their subordinates, in order to unite the strength of a base city as much as possible!
“The task of our First Team is very simple, but it is also very difficult. You are a Bronze-Grade Beast Msster, and your basic task every day is to hunt the Fierce Beasts of Yellow Fantasy Mountain. You have to hand in at least three Bronze-Grade beast essence crystals!”
Lugh could understand this character!
Of course, the Reclamation Troops was not to farm, but to exterminate the Fierce Beasts and expand the living s.p.a.ce!
“The military will not be greedy for these beast essence crystals. At the end of every month, we will pay you a stipend.”
“Ninety Bronze beast essence crystals per month. If you fail to complete the mission, we will deduct your monthly stipend. In any case, you will get more for your hard work!”
