Chapter 325: Information on the Beast G.o.d
The woman’s intuition told him that she seemed to have been green.
Following that, Lugh and Lucy fought for a few more days in the Hepeng Valley.
The Mythical-level talent, Ice Age, had directly increased the Ice Moon Elf’s combat strength by several times.
Especially when using the explosive talent and releasing a large amount of energy from her body, Lucy could instantly control the Star Glory-level Fierce Beasts.
Lugh was extremely satisfied with this.
Because of Lucy’s existence, his efficiency in hunting Fierce Beasts had increased by quite a bit.
“Let’s go back. Our vacation is over.”
In Lugh’s hands, the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine was still at Middle-grade Platinum.
However, he didn’t care. That fellow was still improving very quickly. After all, it was a beast at G.o.d-tier level.
Furthermore, plant-type Fierce Beasts like it had extremely high durability and range.
Fierce Beasts of this nature were able to level up very quickly.
He also took note of the Ice Moon Elf’s experience points. She wasn’t far from being a High-grade Platinum beast.
“Yes, Major.”
After returning to the 14th emergency team, Lugh reported to Vice-Captain Barnard.
“The reward for clearing out the Beast G.o.d Cult has been handed out.”
“What’s the matter?”
“You’ve made a great contribution this time. Our Southwest Military Department thinks that according to your brain, you’re qualified to receive the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. We’ve already written a report. General Paul has also signed it and reported it to the General Military Department, but it was rejected by the General Military Department.”
Barnard said helplessly, “However, the General Military Department has also confirmed your contribution and expressed that they’ve noticed you. I hope you can perform well.”
“Mhm.”
Lugh nodded, not too disappointed.
He was still young. He didn’t care whether he could become a Lieutenant Colonel or not.
Many veteran Star Glory Beast Masters also only had the rank of Major.
Since Lugh was so calm, Barnard began to admire him even more.
“Don’t be too disappointed. The Headquarters are more restricted. With this as a stepping stone, it’ll definitely be much easier next time,” Barnard said with a smile. “Also, you don’t have to worry. We don’t have the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, but the Southwest Army can still afford the treatment of a Lieutenant Colonel.”
“Really? I don’t believe it?”
“You don’t have to believe it. You’ll know in a few days.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
“Then I’ll thank the Vice-Captain.”
“You fought for this.”
“There’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“The West Military Department seems to be paying attention to you.”
“Huh?”
Lugh didn’t understand why the Western Army was meddling in his business.
The eight military departments of the Illumination Empire Federation had an equal relationship with each other.
Usually, they wouldn’t interfere with each other’s business.
What did they mean by paying attention to him?
Or did they want to do something?
“Recently, the Western county has sent people over. They seem to want to transfer you over.” Barnard curled his lips and said, “Your reputation for wiping out the hidden forces of the Beast G.o.d Cult has already created bacteria. Recently, the Political Commissar of the Beast G.o.d Cult has been having a headache. The Beast G.o.d Cult has been causing a lot of trouble on their side.”
“Has the higher-ups agreed?”
“Not yet.”
“What about in the future?”
“Now, they only mentioned it, and General Paul directly rejected it. But it’s hard to say in the future.” Barnard smiled and said, “The West Army is close to us. Sometimes, the cities help each other. General Paul has a good relationship with their General. If they really need you, perhaps we can only let you go first.”
“Yes.”
“However, Captain Bania asked me to tell you that you can rest a.s.sured. If you don’t agree, the higher-ups will not force you.”
Barnard smiled and said, “When the time comes, the Western Military might send people to look for you. You can go and see their sincerity first. Of course, if they don’t want you to go and help them so much, that’s even better. We can’t bear to part with you.”
“I understand.”
“Tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock, there will be a memorial service. Send someone to meet with the person-in-charge of the Martyrs’ Cemetery. When the members who have sacrificed themselves return at an accelerated speed, you can receive them well,” Barnard said in a low voice, “Captain Bania has gone on a mission. As long as I’m present, everything will be done according to the procedures.”
“Okay.”
As for meeting with the person-in-charge of the Martyrs’ Cemetery, Lugh asked Lucy to do it.
Lucy arranged for Clark to receive the family members of the sacrificed members. She picked 10 female members of the 14th emergency team to be in charge.
On the day of the memorial service, all the members of the 14th emergency team were present. They also included Turner, Charles, Daler, and all the crew members of the 1056 train.
Lugh did not like this kind of overly sad atmosphere.
He could hear the heavy sounds of mourning and the cries of the families of the sacrificed members.
Standing on the stage, after reading the eulogy that Lucy had written for him, Lugh hurriedly left the stage.
After leaving the stage, Lugh saw a young woman holding a five-or six-year-old baby and crying. He said in a low voice, “I’m sorry for your loss. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to the 14th Emergency Response Team to find me.”
“Thank you, Captain Lugh.” The young woman looked up at Lugh. She wiped away her tears and said, “Captain Lugh, don’t blame yourself. I heard from my husband that you’re a good Captain. The casualty rate of the 14th emergency team members is already very low. It’s all because of his bad luck.”
Originally, Lugh did not blame himself very much.
Because he felt that he had already done his best and had a clear conscience.
But after hearing what the family members of the sacrificed members said, he actually felt a little sad.
The majority of the sacrificed members of the emergency team were motivated to be extremely reasonable.
Perhaps these family members had already mentally prepared themselves.
After the memorial service, it was the commendation ceremony.
The members of the 14th emergency team were very excited.
After all, this was related to their honor and personal interests,
As for their comrades who had died, they didn’t think too much about it.
As Gold-tier Beast Masters, they had seen far too many casualties.
Even Lugh was numb to it.
After the 14th emergency team returned, work got back on track.
Members were sent out one after another.
After the third day of the commendation ceremony, Lugh was lying on his bed when he suddenly heard an urgent knock on the door.
“Captain Lugh, there’s an emergency mission.”
After hearing the voice, Lugh turned his head and saw a young woman running to him in a hurry.
She looked at him anxiously with a look of disbelief.
“What made you so fl.u.s.tered, Clark?”
“Major Lugh, there’s… There’s something big.” Clark panted and said intermittently, “It’s an emergency order from Captain Bania. He wants you to find him quickly.”
“Captain Bania is looking for me?”
Lugh felt a little strange. He was looking for him at this time? Could it be that there was a new mission or something?
But he quickly stopped thinking. Instead of thinking randomly, he might as well ask him directly.
Thus, Lugh went to Bania’s office alone.
But Bania’s office was empty. There was no one there.
From the teacup on the table, the tea was already bright. It meant that he had been out for some time.
Just as Lugh was hesitating whether he should wait or not, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the office door.
Lugh turned around and saw that it was Bania.
And there were two other people beside him. One of them was General Paul.
The other, Lugh did not know, but he had a neat buzz cut and was dressed in a neat military uniform. But from the military rank on his shoulder, it was clear that this person was a General. Although his rank was the same as Bania’s, his military uniform was from the Headquarters Military region.
Lugh looked at the three people in front of him and was about to ask them what had happened, but he did not expect General Paul to directly wave his hand and a green screen of light appeared, covering the entire room.
“Let’s cut the c.r.a.p, Lugh. Let me directly introduce you. The person next to me is General Harris from the Central Military Region.”
When he said this, Lugh was immediately shocked.
He had thought that the other party had a great background, but he had never thought that his background would be so great.
The General of the Central Military Region, wasn’t that the commander?
“h.e.l.lo, Commander Harris,” Lugh said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
“It’s really better to meet than to be famous. Lugh, I have long noticed you in the Central Military Region. This meeting has indeed affected the youth.” Harris saw that Lugh was in high spirits and directly praised him.
“That’s good too. Now that we have met, I will repeat the information I received previously,” Bania said solemnly.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Bania directly said, “The Beast G.o.d has appeared.”
