In Alistair"s military system, the lowest rank were the warriors, who were around the third step. And the one after that was a brave warrior. Warriors usually had a cultivation level around the fifth step, but not every warrior of the fifth step would be able to obtain the qualifications to become a warrior. Only the truly brave warriors of Asgard would be able to obtain this honor. The warrior cla.s.s, on the other hand, means having a relatively free right to own private property, including a house, wife, and children.
If a warrior could be promoted to become a Holy Spirit Master through missions and achievements. Holy Spiritualists were usually powerhouses of the eighth step. Not only could they own private property, but they also had their own army, factories, and even their own territory outside of Asgard. As for those who were a level higher, their power and power would increase accordingly. Only, so far, Asgard only had five Sovereigns. During the thirty-year war, six of the seven Sovereigns of Asgard had perished. During the next twenty years, the five Sovereigns who had been created successively had become five new Sovereigns. Until now, there had not been a sixth person who had received the honor of entering the Twelve Sovereigns" Hall.
But even being a warrior was a status that most people in Asgard envied. Even among the five legions, with the exception of the Doomhammer, whose members were all brave warriors, most of the soldiers at the bottom of the legions were of the warrior rank, and most of them were mere slaves.
Now that he knew that he had become a warrior, Zero"s expression didn"t change at all. It was as if power and ident.i.ty were irrelevant to him.
Ben shook his head and said, "I"ve already approved your loan. You can go to the Ministry of Finance at any time to collect the money. "However, I suggest that you bring the people and materials that you need to Asgard. In any case, the environment here is better than in other cities in the wilderness."
The emotionless Zero finally changed. His indifferent gaze gradually became pa.s.sionate. He nodded heavily at Ben and said, "Thank you."
"Nothing, this was something I promised you before. "Moreover, the money for the goods is not for free. Remember to return it to me."
"I know."
"Then that"s it. When your injuries are all healed, scram to report to Hammer of Destruction." After saying this, Ben took his leave.
As soon as he left, Zero heard a few murmurs from outside. Following that, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a man in casual clothes entered. She was holding a bouquet of flowers, more like hay than flowers. Although it was not as beautiful as the flowers of the old era, it was still rare to find such a wild flower in this era where everything was changing.
Sue smiled as she placed the wildflowers by Zero"s bedside. Then the door opened again, and it was Ma Pei and Feng who squeezed in. Feng walked at the back, pus.h.i.+ng out the nurse who had a mouth full of "patients need rest". While busy, he still had time to rub the average looking nurse"s perky b.u.t.tocks. The young nurse let out a soft cry and looked at Feng with both a grumbling and a pleased expression in her eyes.
Looking at Feng Feng, who was closing the door with a wicked smile on his face, Zero suddenly felt that it was great to be alive.
Feng and the others were currently wearing the formal uniform of the Hammer of Destruction. This was a set of pure black military uniform, with golden edges at the cuffs and collar. The epaulettes on his shoulders were also inlaid with a golden ta.s.sel, and on the left side of his chest, there was a hammer pattern embroidered with golden threads wrapped with lightning. A domineering aura immediately a.s.saulted his senses.
Doomhammer"s uniform was calm, but it did not lose its tension. The uniforms were well-cut, perfectly accentuating the temperament of Sue and the others. Just this set of uniforms would be enough to earn him a fortune in the wilderness. It could be seen that the status of an official member of the Doomhammer was probably even higher than that of an ordinary warrior. However, very quickly Feng told Zero that this uniform had cost them 300 contribution points, and it was a compulsory payment. For some reason, upon hearing this news, Zero naturally thought of Ben"s completely unscrupulous face.
The arrival of Feng and the others also told him some other information.
For example, the latest news about the military base in the Cossacks. After they had retreated, the bombardment continued for a day before most of the mutated beasts were successfully driven to the southwest. Valkyrie and Carrio also appeared not long after. According to them, all the bases below the second layer of the underground base had been destroyed. The height of the earth and water had also reached the third floor from the fifth floor. Fortunately, most of the strange fish had been caught up in the battle between them and Angie. They were either killed by the energy turbulence or turned into dust when they hit each other. It could be said that in this battle, the young children of Angkulitte had died the most unjustly.
After this battle, Angie Gulet once again entered a deep slumber. He was now fast asleep in the depths of the abyss. Without external interference, Angie Gulet might not wake up until the second breeding period. As for the year in which the Nerubian Lord reproduces, it usually takes a hundred years. In other words, Angie Gulet would not wake up for a long time. From this, it could be seen that the damage sustained by the Nerubian Lord wasn"t light.
In the same way, Valkyrie and Carrion were not easy. The two of them had already been secretly sent to some place for treatment, and it was expected that it would take at least a week before they could recover.
In addition, it was also a question of where the Wind Treader party would go from here.
The members of the Doomhammer usually only reached a size of two to three hundred people, and most of the members in the new barracks were in squads. The most common team in the Hammer of Destruction was led by powerhouses of the fifth step and above, and they recruited low-ranked warriors from the military system. They even recruited powerless slave soldiers to become their own team members. Of course, whether it was a warrior or a slave, neither of them were official members of the Doomhammer, so naturally they would not be able to enjoy its salary and benefits.
All expenses incurred by the warriors and the servants would be paid by those who were capable of being the captains.
Now, according to Feng and the others" intentions, they hoped that the team would not disband their forces and keep the team together. The advantage of doing so was that they would be able to maintain a higher combat strength than the ordinary team. The disadvantage was that the benefits and rewards would be divided equally. Since the four of them are all official members of the Doomhammer, the proceeds cannot all belong to the captain, so the distribution must be redone.
"On this issue, I suggest that zero should remain the leader. As for the income, we will split it 30%, and share the rest among us. What do you think? " Feng suggested.
Actually, the three of them had already considered this method of allocation, but they didn"t know if they should agree to it or not. Now that Zero had awoken, Feng took the opportunity to make this suggestion, wanting to hear Zero"s suggestion.
Unexpectedly, without thinking too much, they agreed, and the Wind Walk team finally avoided the end of their teammates. Now, as soon as he was released from the hospital, he would be able to register the Wind Treader at the team registry of the Doomhammer. Then, he would be able to accept all kinds of missions and orders issued by the headquarters in the name of the team.
Other than that, there was another problem. It was Eva, the woman who had spent two years in the underground base. Although Maple and the others had rented her a bungalow on the outskirts of Asgarth with their merit points, she was not a person of Asgard. She was not allowed to stay in the city for a week.
When the one week deadline was up, Eva would be forcibly deported from Asgard. Unless...
"Let her become a slave to any of us?" Zero frowned.
"That"s right, we can recruit mercenaries from the wilderness. As long as you become a slave, you"ll be able to stay, although you won"t be able to enter the center of the city. " Sue nodded.
This method was not bad, but who would dare to have a woman with strength at least at the eighth step as their slave soldier?
"I should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow. Let me talk to her. Perhaps, she can feel wronged for the time being. " Zero said he didn"t have much confidence in himself, but now he couldn"t think of any other way to make Eva stay legally in Asgaritri.
At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open. The nurse who was taken advantage of by Feng and a middle-aged woman who looked like a head nurse walked into the ward together and kicked the three of them out. The head nurse was very aggressive, as if the hospital was her home ground, completely disregarding her status as someone who was much higher than her. The nurse"s eyes lit up as she looked at the head nurse with admiration.
Zero didn"t know whether to laugh or cry as he watched this scene. After Feng and the others left, he was the only one left in the room, and the world became quiet again. As he closed his eyes, the image of a young lady slowly appeared in his mind.
"Leah, wait for me. Very soon, you will be alive again. " He said in a soft voice that only he could hear.
As Feng and the others left, Ben appeared in a tightly guarded biochemical laboratory in Asgard. In front of Ben was a row of tanks, but there were only two tanks working at the moment. Valkyrie and Cario were in two tanks filled with various base liquids. Both of them had their eyes closed. The basic fluids from the culture trough entered their bodies through their skin, helping them heal their cell level injuries.
There were also tens of thousands of nan.o.bots in the base fluid. They covered the surface of their bodies and were constantly working to restore the creations on their bodies. The electronic watch below the incubator was entering the countdown. When the numbers on the electronic watch returned to zero, the incubator would stop working. This was also when the two of them had recovered.
At that moment, an old man with a bulging, bulbous body came up to Ben. The old man lifted the gla.s.ses on his nose and whispered to Ben, "You"d better take a look. The gene lock with zero has almost broken through to the second stage."
