Chapter 72: As Expected

Yingzhou was not very confident in his own luck; in his past life, whether it was opening crates or drawing prizes, he basically always hit the hard pity. The possibility of getting a good pull on the first try was no less than him transmigrating again.

Yingzhou was very conflicted now; he was wondering whether he should use this Random Draw opportunity.

After all, the randomness of this thing was too high, and it was easy to make his blood pressure soar.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou suddenly realized that he had randomly summoned legions twice, and both were the powerful and famous Astra Militarum. What if he ended up pulling those disgraces of the Astra Militarum in the future?

Yingzhou could not help but recall the "Scintilla" mentioned by those Catachan tough guys over the past two days, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Forget it, thinking about this now was a bit redundant; at worst, if they came out, he just wouldn't summon them.

In the end, Yingzhou still couldn't resist the temptation and said, "System, start the Random Draw."

"Consuming 1 Random Draw, Random Draw in progress..."

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 10 points."

Yingzhou's hanging heart finally died; what exactly was he expecting? Sure enough, the possibility of a good pull on the first try was too small.

He simply emptied his mind and began Gathering Spiritual Power.

"Sending a combat squad to support the Fourth Defense Zone, I wonder what the higher-ups are thinking."

"Why think so much? Our task is just to take that combat squad to the Military District Headquarters."

In a military truck, two officers were chatting idly; they were the ones who had come to pick up Yingzhou's squad to head to the Military District Headquarters.

When they arrived at the camp where the Thirteenth Legion was located, they found that only 30 soldiers were left behind to guard it.

"Ahem, I'm looking for Legion Commander Nie Hao; hasn't he returned yet?" one officer cleared his throat and said to the soldier at the camp entrance.

"Hmm? The Commander hasn't arrived yet; you guys wait for a while." The soldier glanced at the officers in front of him and said.

The two officers looked at each other and had no choice but to return to the truck to wait.

"This Nie Hao has become quite famous in the Military District recently; look, he's even putting on airs," the officer who had spoken to the soldier said.

"After all, he drove the Beast Race out of this jungle; he can be considered a renowned figure in the Military District," the other officer nodded and replied.

Nie Hao and the members of Yingzhou's squad were moving through the jungle. He asked Yingzhou with some confusion, "You asked me not to mention in the battle report that you killed the Orc Priest; I can understand that, because you haven't grown up yet. But, what is going on with you asking me not to even mention you in the report? On the battlefield, it is a very normal thing to have good performance written into a report, right?"

"Commander, just like when I first came to the Thirteenth Legion, I might be involved in some things that even I don't know about, so I try to keep as low-profile as I can," Yingzhou followed behind Nie Hao and said.

"As long as you feel it's fine, then it's fine. Once you go to the Fourth Defense Zone, be careful with everything," Nie Hao said indifferently.

"Understood."

The group passed through the jungle and returned to the previous camp of the Thirteenth Legion. Seeing a military truck parked on the muddy road, Nie Hao didn't say much and let the soldiers at the camp entrance notify the people in the truck.

The two officers obviously saw Nie Hao and the others too. They hurriedly got out of the truck, walked up to Nie Hao, saluted, and said, "Legion Commander Nie Hao! Long admired. We are here under orders to pick up the elite combat squad under your command."

Nie Hao returned the salute and said in a somewhat casual tone, "Sorry, you must have been waiting for a while. It's just that we are setting up a new camp and reconnaissance posts over in the jungle, and there are many things that need to be handled. Hmm... oh, right, this is the captain of our Thirteenth Legion's combat squad."

After Nie Hao finished saying what Hu Jie had taught him, he didn't know what else to say, so he pulled out Yingzhou who was standing to the side.

"Hmm, since your combat squad has arrived, let's set off then," one officer asked Nie Hao.

"Wait, there is one more thing. Our Thirteenth Legion suffered quite a few casualties because of the battle with the Beast Race. Have the Military District send people over as soon as possible; otherwise, if those Beast Race members come to attack again, we won't have enough people to have another fight with the Orcs. Also, the equipment, get it transported over quickly," Nie Hao changed from his lazy demeanor and said to the two officers with a solemn face.

"Uh, Legion Commander Nie Hao, we will communicate your request to the Military District," the other officer hurriedly said.

Seeing that Nie Hao was no longer blocking them, the two officers said to Yingzhou, "Captain, let's set off. The Military District has already prepared the Transport Aircraft to head to the Fourth Defense Zone."

"Alright, let's go." After nodding to Nie Hao, Yingzhou took his five squad members and entered the military truck.

There were fewer people in the military truck this time, and Yingzhou was a bit more comfortable.

Military District Headquarters.

Ji Bu was in his office, looking at a document; on it was the list of the combat squad formed by the Thirteenth Legion.

"Yingzhou? Isn't he the person who came back from the Zerg Hunting Ground? He is the captain of this squad? What is this guy Nie Hao thinking, letting this person be the captain of a combat squad? Does he really have something special?"

Ji Bu muttered to himself. At this moment, that evil voice appeared again, "Ji Bu, how is your consideration going? Look at the situation of the Human Alliance now; relying only on yourselves is simply not going to work. As long as you are willing to accept our help, you will become the hero who saves the Human Alliance."

"Get lost! You change your tricks every day to tempt me into joining you Alien Race; your heart deserves to be punished!" Ji Bu cursed in a low voice.

"Hehehe, Ji Bu, what exactly are you persisting for? Not to mention the distant things, just look at your nine-member Council; two people inside have already defected to the Alien Race," the evil voice continued, "Do you think you Humans still have hope of surviving this war on your own?"

After hearing this news, even though Ji Bu didn't want to believe it, a trace of wavering appeared in his heart.

Those guys, it was one thing for them to fight for power and profit, but to think that some of them would actually defect to the Alien Race!

No, he couldn't be bewitched by this Evil Spirit; perhaps this was its scheme.

Even so, Ji Bu still slapped the desk hard.

"Hehehe, Ji Bu, don't worry, I won't harm you. Every word I told you is true; this is the sincerity I express to you. You don't have to believe it now, but the facts will prove that what I said is correct." The evil voice gradually dissipated and disappeared without waiting for Ji Bu to drive it away.

But its words just now kept repeating in Ji Bu's mind; even if Ji Bu forcibly controlled himself not to think about those words, it was of no use.

"Damn it! This Evil Spirit is truly tricky!" Ji Bu said viciously.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A burst of knocking on the door startled Ji Bu. He sorted out his emotions, ignored the words constantly cycling in his mind, and said calmly.

"Come in."
