Chapter 38: Bestowed Rewards, Brothers Squad Leaders!

Recently, the commander and the generals have received news that spies from the Jian Chi State have infiltrated our military camp.

Guan Shan's expression was stern, and he spoke in a cold voice,

Anyone absent today is basically, with solid evidence, deemed a traitor who colluded with the enemy!

Their families will also be implicated because of this!

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts!

The punishment for traitors is the same across all nations.

One person's treason implicates all their relatives!

Although it does not go as far as exterminating their clan, as long as the evidence is solid, the traitor's family can forget about having any good days.

This point has no effect, no matter how the traitor begs for mercy.

Only in this way can we minimize betrayal to the greatest extent!

Forces like the Gu Family of Wu Shan Cheng are countless throughout the Ben Lang Guo.

If Gu Chen were to collude with the enemy and betray the nation, the Gu Family's power would not even dare to continue existing.

After dispersing the personnel and sending them to perform labor service across the country, that alone could already be considered showing leniency.

Such a level of punishment is already enough to make anyone who is tempted have doubts.

But after all, there are still those with wavering faith, or who harbor a fluke mentality, who choose to betray.

The military will show no mercy when dealing with such people.

I hope everyone does not learn from Lei Chao and his ilk, colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation!

As Guan Shan's words fell, some who originally thought Lei Chao had let Gu Chen live and return because he had received favors from Gu Chen were all astonished.

Holy shit, I never expected that Lei Chao, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually be a spy!

No wonder that day, when that guy came to the Warrior Camp to cause trouble, he actually wanted to spare Gu Chen's life; now it seems he valued Gu Chen's talent and wanted to drag him into trouble!

Fortunately, the generals discovered the problem with Lei Chao and his group early on; otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble might have arisen!

After the crowd's discussion gradually subsided, Guan Shan then slowly said,

This time, successfully capturing the traitor, the brothers Gu Chen and Gu Han have made the greatest contribution.

After the commander and the other generals unanimously approved, Gu Chen is specially promoted to Combat Squad Leader and granted a first-rank title!

Gu Han is appointed Logistics Squad Leader and granted a first-rank title!

And they are bestowed armor and a sword!

Although they are conscript soldiers, their treatment in all respects is equal to that of officers!

As Guan Shan's words fell, the two military logistics officers stepped forward, holding a set of battle armor and a sword symbolizing the squad leader.

Conscript soldiers originally have no place in the military establishment.

But because they have achieved great merit, Guan Shan therefore bestowed upon them an extra reward!

In the crowd, Li Qiang saw Gu Han still standing there dazed, and hurriedly shoved him with an annoyed push,

What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go receive the reward and give thanks!

This is a treatment that others can only dream of!

Gu Chen and Gu Han had no prior mental preparation; now they could only, according to the rules they imagined, step forward and receive the armor and sword with both hands.

The hundreds or thousands of combat soldiers and logistics soldiers around them were all struck as if by lightning, frozen in place.

This traitor was actually captured thanks to Gu Chen and Gu Han?

Damn, their luck is too good—like a blind cat finding a dead mouse!

Damn, why don't I have such good luck?

Almost everyone thinks this is just Gu Chen and Gu Han having run-of-the-mill shit luck.

These two are somewhat stronger than them, but only limitedly so.

How could they possibly capture a traitor like Lei Chao?

It's just good luck, that's all!

Such luck is hard to come by; Gu Han and the two of them have surely exhausted their luck for this period!

But no matter how jealous they are, the squad leader positions of the two are already set in stone.

According to the military regulations of Ben Lang Guo, during conscript service, unless one achieves great merit, they will not hold an officer's position.

The vast majority of conscript soldiers, when they leave, are still just ordinary soldiers.

In just a short half month, the Gu Chen and Gu Han brothers have become squad leaders.

This already surpasses the vast majority of people!

Now the court situation is unstable, and the Jian Chi State is eyeing Mu Shan Cheng with a tiger's gaze.

Guan Shan again offered a few words of encouragement,

I hope you all continue to diligently cultivate, in preparation for the war that may break out at any moment.

There is still another sentence that Guan Shan did not speak aloud.

That is, if one has not become a true martial practitioner, going onto the battlefield will ultimately be nothing but cannon fodder!

After saying that, Guan Shan turned and left, leaving Deng Li and the other instructors to continue drilling.

Gu Han and the other logistics soldiers then returned to their respective camps.

Ma Tie and a few others gathered around Gu Han, unable to hide the envy in their eyes.

Old Gu, you've really become incredibly awesome!

If I could become a squad leader, when I return home, the folks from the surrounding ten miles and eight villages would surely envy me to death!

That would be a matter of bringing glory to one's ancestors; after returning home, the county office might even arrange a job for me!

Unlike Gu Han's Earth before his transmigration, where serving two years as a conscript soldier still earned him money.

Here, not dying at the border is already a fortunate thing.

Just this half-month's time already saw seven Logistics Soldiers get lost in the mountains and forests.

Because no corpses were found, nobody knows whether they died at the claws of monster beasts, at human hands, or truly got lost.

But for most people, just being able to return alive is already good.

Being able to become a military officer and arrange work upon returning home is something only dare to dream of.

"As long as you work hard, you all have a chance to become a Squad Leader."

Gu Han smiled and did not regard the Squad Leader as too great an honor.

But he also understood that this was due to differences in background and vision.

His previous incarnation, no matter how you say it, was a branch-family descendant of the Gu Family; although his origin was low, he was still far stronger than ordinary people.

Ma Tie and the others smiled, knowing that Gu Han was just comforting them.

Everyone's pace was extremely fast, and they quickly returned to the camp.

Gu Han, as usual, headed straight out of the camp to hunt monster beasts.

He is currently busy enhancing Little Wolf's bloodline, needing to venture deep into the wilderness to hunt as strong monster beasts as possible.

For this, he specifically greeted Ma Tie and the others, indicating that he might not come back to rest these few days.

Ma Tie and the others believed that with Gu Han's ability, as long as he didn't act recklessly, he would likely not encounter danger, and thus agreed to conceal his departure from the camp.

Soon after Gu Han left, the Combat Soldiers quickly split into several teams.

Under the instructor's leadership, they marched mightily toward the wilderness.

"This time's wilderness trial assessment, I will definitely place in the top ten!"

Many Combat Soldiers secretly made a resolution in their hearts.

After half a month of regular training, the day of the Ten Camps Competition is now only two weeks away.

In order to quickly improve the new soldiers' combat experience, after several instructors discussed, they prepared to develop a wilderness training ground.

When the Combat Soldiers spar, they will hold back.

Only when facing life-and-death monster beasts, in a critical moment of survival, can their potential be unleashed!

As for danger?

Those who fear danger can simply stay in the camp to train on their own.

Regarding this, the instructors did not take any compulsory measures.

But all the Combat Soldiers are unwilling to admit they are cowardly and fearful.

Everyone chose to come to the wilderness, facing monster beasts of one-star fourth-rank, even one-star fifth-rank.
