Chapter 235: Preparation

After three days of practical training, the combat experience of Ajie, Charlie, and the others had improved to a certain extent.

At least they wouldn't be knocked down quickly by the Catachan muscle men like they were at the beginning.

After giving Ajie, Charlie, and the others their training Task for the day, Yingzhou left the New Recruit Training Camp.

Commendation Site.

Following the method taught to him by that evil voice, Ji Bu placed six stones of different colors around the Commendation Site.

The accompanying 312 Corps had long since camped in the surrounding area, hiding their Prowler Tanks behind a gentle slope according to the positions Ji Bu had arranged beforehand; all soldiers were fully armed, waiting for the next order.

"Old Fang, why did Chief Ji Bu put the Commendation Site here? Besides, this setup doesn't look like a commendation; it looks more like the rhythm of a battle."

A burly man in military uniform looked through binoculars at the deployed Prowler Tanks and said to Fang Manbin, who was eating dry rations beside him.

After swallowing the dry rations in his mouth, Fang Manbin spoke up.

"Regiment Commander, the Chief must have his reasons for doing this; we should just follow the Chief's arrangements and execute the orders."

The burly man was none other than the Legion Commander of the 312 Corps—Xiao Kuishi; the 312 Corps was the final destination for those soldiers whose original legions could no longer be reorganized, a legion for emergencies and protecting the Outer City.

Xiao Kuishi curled his lip and said to Fang Manbin.

"Of course I know I should do that, but isn't this just speculation? That Yingzhou certainly deserves to be commended, but this is the first time I've seen a commendation held in a place like this."

Fang Manbin wiped his mouth, sat directly on the ground, and said, "That's not something we can guess. Every time the Chief does this, everyone guesses, but has anyone ever guessed right? What, do you have some strange ideas this time?"

"Hahaha, no, it's just that the Chief went to such great lengths this time, I wonder if that Yingzhou will be scared."

Xiao Kuishi laughed, sat cross-legged on the ground as well, and looked at the site not far away where Yingzhou was to be commended.

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. There must be a reason why that Yingzhou could achieve this much in such a short time, so stop overthinking it."

Just as the two were talking, a pungent smell drifted over from behind. The two turned their heads to look and discovered a cavalry unit of nearly 700 people had arrived at their side; they wore wool robes, had long hair, and had scars on their faces.

That wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was that the smell emanating from them made Xiao Kuishi and Fang Manbin feel their noses twitching.

"Which unit are they from? How are they so... distinctive?"

Fang Manbin wanted to say "stinky," but after careful consideration, he complained euphemistically.

Behind these cavalrymen, a military jeep drove over. Ji Bu's Guard got out of the car, trotted over to the two, and only then let out a breath.

"Phew, thank goodness, it's not too heavy here."

Xiao Kuishi asked suspiciously, "Which unit are they from, and why would they appear here?"

After catching his breath for a few seconds, Ji Bu's Guard spoke to Xiao Kuishi.

"Don't worry about it, this was approved by the Chief."

Xiao Kuishi nodded, looked at the Guard who was taking deep breaths of air, and couldn't help but ask.

"How come I've never heard that we had a cavalry unit before?"

Hearing Xiao Kuishi's words, the Guard smiled helplessly and said to Xiao Kuishi, "You know Yingzhou, right? These are the soldiers he summoned."

"This? Wasn't it said before that the soldiers he summoned wore gas masks? What the hell is this? And this smell is too pungent; does a commendation require summoning soldiers?"

As Xiao Kuishi spoke, he looked at the cavalrymen behind the Guard and locked eyes with the leading cavalryman.

"Regiment Commander Xiao, the Chief has already approved it, so you don't need to worry; just execute the orders. Furthermore, some armored units have also gone to your Prowler Tanks' location."

Hearing the Guard say this, Xiao Kuishi immediately picked up his binoculars and looked toward the location of the Prowler Tanks, only to see armored vehicles and three tanks larger and with thicker barrels than the Prowler Tanks appearing in his field of vision.

"This... is this also... summoned by that Yingzhou?"

Seeing Xiao Kuishi's surprised expression, the Guard also felt a wave of emotion; after all, when he first saw this armored unit, his own expression of shock was even more exaggerated than Xiao Kuishi's.

"Yes."

Xiao Kuishi wanted to say something more, but Fang Manbin beside him received a communication request from the Prowler Tanks' side. Fang Manbin picked up the communication, only to hear the urgent inquiry of the Commander on the other end.

"Regiment Commander, an unidentified armored force has arrived here. A person in a bright uniform asked me to initiate a communication with you, asking us to give up our advantageous position. Please instruct."

After hearing the Commander's report, Xiao Kuishi looked at the Guard standing opposite him, who nodded at him, and then replied to the Commander on the other end.

"Listen to them, follow their requirements, give the good positions to them, and you all pull back a bit."

Apparently, the Commander on the other end of the communication didn't expect Xiao Kuishi to say this. After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied.

"Yes!"

After hanging up the communication, Xiao Kuishi looked at those cavalrymen, shrugged his shoulders, and said.

"Fine, if they are just staying over there, we can endure it."

Hearing Xiao Kuishi say this, Ji Bu's Guard let out a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted, and immediately stood up to take his leave.

"Then I won't disturb you any further; I'll head back to report to the Chief first."

Having said that, he walked quickly into the jeep and left the area where Xiao Kuishi was.

At the same time, Ji Bu stood at the Commendation Site, looking at Yingzhou who had come to receive the commendation.

"You really came; I knew you would. This time, I rejected the idea of those guys from the Inner City coming over. That Evil Spirit in my mind doesn't contact me for four to five days after each time it communicates with me. It's time to end it."

Yingzhou looked at Ji Bu, whose expression was somewhat relieved, and said to Ji Bu.

"Chief Ji Bu, I cannot judge what you have done, but if you want to eliminate the Alien Race, then I will certainly help you. However, what I didn't expect was that you had already had the Guard notify me in advance. Now I have quite a few soldiers standing by in the surrounding area; as long as an Alien Race appears here, they will eliminate all of them."

Ji Bu raised his head, looked at the nearly 2.8-meter-tall, strong-bodied Yingzhou before him, and spoke slowly.

"Yingzhou, will the things you said before come true?"

"Which ones?"

"That we will defeat the Alien Race, drive them out of our world, and make them pay the price they deserve for their actions."

Yingzhou looked at the middle-aged man who had already made up his mind and answered in a solemn tone.

"I will, I promise!"

"Hahaha, that would be truly wonderful."
