Chapter 214 - 202 Open Conspiracy
Three days later, the official military order was handed down to Lu Hong. With a temporary promotion as the captain of the Roland Knight Regiment, he led Lock Fan and others through Jinhui City and Diyalos City to receive the Second Transition masters, and they were all headed to Haiya City. This marching order had to be completed within eight days, otherwise, they would be punished according to military law for the offense.
Lock Fan packed up his bag and muttered, "Isn’t there a teleportation array? Why do we have to march by foot?"
They had already reported to the Military Department, so they were issued standard military equipment. Level seven weapons were not appealing to Lock Fan and the others. Although they hadn’t done anything earth-shattering in the mercenary group, they did manage to get their hands on quite a few handy tools from Lansa’s logistics.
Besides weapons, there were miscellaneous items like the army’s standard uniform, signal devices for calling for help, modular tents, and so on, a large pile of them. And since Lu Hong had a Space Ring, it’s not like the group had to carry everything in large and small bags, which would be too cumbersome.
"It’s probably for a short period of acculturation during the march," Lu Hong guessed correctly. All temporarily selected Roland Knight captains would lead their assigned members to establish a brief trust and hierarchical relationship during about a week of marching. If the chosen captain could not command respect after the march, he would be directly replaced by a veteran leader, and his assessment score would be reduced to zero without any explanation. Those without leadership capabilities did not deserve to be a captain of the Roland Knights.
More than three thousand teams set off from Ice Spirit City, heading toward the distant regions along the crisscrossing avenues of the northern border.
Lu Hong and Lock Fan said goodbye to Nono and stepped out of Ice Spirit City to begin their military journey.
Danni stood above the clouds, quietly watching Lu Hong disappear into the distance until he was out of sight.
"Aww, can’t bear to see him go?" Lando’s voice rang out inappropriately, oozing sarcasm.
Danni spoke calmly, "I advise you not to test my patience."
