Chapter 1581

Next up are the squad-level awards.

To Zhao Chi's delight, this time the Zhao family's Stream Squad 3 was included again.

The one who took the stage this time was not Clan Head Zhao Shizhang, but his eldest uncle Zhao Qizong.

The Zhao family receiving commendation showed that their combat strength was growing higher and higher.

Looks like having a dragon really does make a difference.

No matter what, Zhao Chi was genuinely happy for them.

Besides, most of Zhao Chi's grain was basically sold to the Zhao family at fair price — it could be considered his small, modest contribution.

Right now he still needed money badly.

Once this month's bumper harvest came in, he could appropriately lower some of his grain prices; even lowering them just a little would amount to an enormous concession.

It was a way of repaying the Zhao family for their past kindness to him.

After the squad commendations came the platoons.

And only two platoons received commendation.

Li Ruanyu's Jasper Platoon, and… Shangguan Ting's Phantom Platoon.

This time Shangguan Ting rose very quickly, dashed forward in two steps, blocked Li Ruanyu, and was the first to mount the stage.

And stood right in the center.

Li Ruanyu gave a light snort, walked right up against Shangguan Ting, and stood beside her.

Shangguan Ting shot her a glance, silently moved aside two big steps, pulling the distance between them to over a meter — clearly not wanting to stand too close to Li Ruanyu.

Seeing her objective achieved, Li Ruanyu gave a faint smile and also took a small step.

This way the two stood on the stage in relative balance.

Many lords below the stage were watching the show.

Horn Cliff Town fell under the jurisdiction of Binghe Corps, and lords within the same corps knew each other fairly well; they had long known that Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting did not get along.

Watching these two top-grade beautiful squad leaders fight openly and covertly was also quite an entertaining affair.
