Chapter 53: 053 Sharp Blade hasn't arrived, but a pack of wolves came first

053 Sharp Blade hasn't arrived, but a pack of wolves came first

Zhang Bei, who had returned to the Nantian settlement, didn't stay idle and quickly found Daniu, who was training the city defense.

"Select fifty people; I'm planning to establish a new combat squad."

Daniu was startled: "Isn't one already being built?"

Zhang Bei shook his head: "Not Sharp Blade, another one."

Hearing Zhang Bei's words, Daniu flipped through the list: "It can be selected tonight. Do you want to see them?"

"No need, see them tomorrow."

The Nantian settlement was never short of people, and the city defense team was the pre-selection for the combat squad.

And Daniu's task every day was more about selecting suitable personnel.

The sky gradually grew dim, and Zhang Bei rubbed his swollen brain, leaning back in his chair.

By now, nearly half the time in the Ice Age had passed.

Although he had already obtained Transcendent status and possessed not-weak strength.

But Zhang Bei knew very well that this strength was far from enough.

Not to mention those clues about the Ancient Gods discovered by accident, even just some Overlord-level fierce beasts were not existences he could deal with.

And there was one thing Zhang Bei was very concerned about, and that was the attitude of the higher-ups toward them, these Transcendent beings.

Was it mainly based on peace, or did they want to control them by any means necessary?

He sighed silently and closed his eyes.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Zhang Bei rubbed his eyes and stood on the plaza.

And before Zhang Bei stood fifty people, neatly arranged.

Light flickered in everyone's eyes.

They were the batch of people who had joined the city defense team the earliest.

It was just that because their strength was insufficient, they hadn't been selected by Iron Blood.

Look at the Iron Blood people; how long had it been, and their strength had increased by several times.

Even several captains could hunt Level 10 fierce beasts alone.

Everyone was waiting for Zhang Bei's second selection.

Facing more and more fierce beasts, the appearance of a second combat squad had become inevitable.

And these fifty people were the ones who had prepared from the beginning to become those fifty warriors.

Zhang Bei's gaze swept around: "Captains, step forward!"

As the words fell, five upright figures immediately stood out.

Zhang Bei waved his hand, and fifty skill books fell to the ground.

"One for each person, captains come and collect them!"

Fifty skill books were quickly distributed into everyone's hands.

As pale blue light flashed, all fifty people possessed the same skill.

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Bei's eyes: "Release!"

The plaza was immediately surrounded by pale blue, and gray wolves, each half a person tall, stood before the fifty people.

Daniu, standing to the side, was full of surprise in his eyes.

If a creature like a wolf was just one, it wouldn't pose any threat at all.

At most, it would just harass the enemy during battle, but once a wolf pack was formed.

Then the combat power would increase exponentially.

If at the same level, ten wolves could kill a tiger without injury.

If there were thirty, they could even fight a rhinoceros.

And here, there were a full fifty!

Daniu could already imagine that if this group of people could grow up in the short term.

Their combat power would likely far exceed Iron Blood.

Ye Fan: 【Holy crap, how spectacular!】

Li Qinqin: 【When they fight, the other side will be beaten by wolves before they even touch anyone.】

Wu Yingcai: 【This level is still low; if the level was high, would you panic if fifty big BOSSes stood before you?】

Zhang Bei turned his head to look at Daniu: "Think about who can lead this group of people?"

Hearing Zhang Bei's words, Daniu's brows also furrowed.

A thousand soldiers are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.

This was the current situation of the Nantian settlement.

As long as Zhang Bei was willing, relying on dungeons and Crystal Cores, he could spawn an army of thousands in a short time.

But generals had always been a problem.

If Xiao Cheng hadn't thrown himself into the net, perhaps even Iron Blood would have needed Zhang Bei to lead it personally.

Looking at Daniu's expression, Zhang Bei naturally also knew the current situation.

He hesitated for a moment before dialing Xiao Cheng's call.

After the beeping sound, a voice filled with exhaustion rang out.

"Boss, what's the matter so early?"

Zhang Bei coughed lightly: "Good news, come to the plaza, there's a surprise waiting for you."

Last night, the entire Iron Blood team had undergone night training, which counted as familiarizing themselves with the newly arrived power.

However, upon hearing Zhang Bei's words, the body that was still filled with exhaustion immediately grew excited.

"Alright, Boss, I'll be there immediately!"

He hung up the call and looked at the crowd before him: "Put them away, give your Captain Xiao a surprise!"

In less than two minutes, Xiao Cheng, biting into a chicken leg, stood excitedly before Zhang Bei.

"Boss, what surprise!"

Zhang Bei didn't speak, pointing his finger at the neatly standing team.

Xiao Cheng's originally excited expression immediately stiffened: "Sharp Blade?"

"No."

"If it's not Sharp Blade, then what is this for?"

The corner of Zhang Bei's mouth curled into a smile: "A new team, for you to lead!"

Xiao Cheng's heart, which had just settled, rose again.

Don't look at the fact that Iron Blood only had fifty people, but for such a long time.

Basically, everyone was brought up by Xiao Cheng personally.

This had already consumed too much energy, let alone adding another fifty people.

Looking at Xiao Cheng's reluctant expression: "Captain Xiao's surprise should be revealed!"

Pale blue light immediately surrounded Xiao Cheng.

Gray wolves immediately surrounded him, their eyes filled with chill staring fixedly at Xiao Cheng's body.

Xiao Cheng was stunned on the spot, but soon his eyes grew sharp.

What Daniu could think of, he could also think of, and he even thought far deeper than Daniu.

Cavalry!

The height of these gray wolves was enough to form a cavalry, a mobile squad.

Even, if this group of people could grow up, some places filled with wild beasts could be attempted.

Looking at Zhang Bei's smiling face, Xiao Cheng sighed: "Let's say it first, since you're letting me lead, these people are mine!"

Zhang Bei nodded: "Alright, except for Sharp Blade, these people are all yours!"

As a combat establishment with the same nature as Iron Blood, handing them over to Xiao Cheng again wouldn't achieve the greatest effect.

What the Nantian settlement needed was another combat squad that could exert its effect, not a second Iron Blood.

Ye Fan: 【Came excitedly, only to find it's a new mission!】

Li Qinqin: 【Laughing to death, Xiao Cheng never expected that Sharp Blade hadn't arrived, but a pack of wolves came first.】

Niu Xuanming: 【Xiao Cheng: I want a holiday!!!】

Watching Xiao Cheng's bitter face, Zhang Bei reached out and patted his shoulder.

"If you bring this team out, I have a reward."

Hearing Zhang Bei's words, Xiao Cheng immediately stood straight: "Guarantee to complete the mission!"

A beeping call request came, and Zhang Bei frowned and clicked to answer.

Jin Xin's urgent voice came: "Come back quickly, something big!"
