Chapter 250 The Worst Time I’Ve Ever Been Hacked!
"Okay," Chen Yu replied.
Contacting the high-level military would help him understand the situation and plan how to complete the mission.
"Alright, follow me," the sergeant said upon seeing Chen Yu's agreement, his face showing delight as he led Chen Yu away.
Before long, they entered another, larger military camp.
Seated at the main position in the central tent was a middle-aged man clad in battle armor.
Three golden pentagrams hung from his chest, and he was currently studying a map with his head lowered.
His face was square-shaped, with prominent facial features, giving off an imposing aura even when not angry.
From his expression, it was clear that his mood was not very good at the moment.
"Apologies for the interruption, General Derek," the sergeant said as he approached, "I have brought Captain Salando to you."
General Derek raised his head, his sharp gaze fixed on Chen Yu, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"Hello, General Derek," Chen Yu greeted casually.
"Salando," General Derek nodded, "Your reputation has grown in the past few days."
"You flatter me," Chen Yu smiled and clasped his fists.
General Derek paused for a moment, apparently not understanding the meaning behind Chen Yu's gesture.
However, from his tone, one could hear the humility.
He didn't pay attention to these details and instead said, "You possess extraordinary speed and specialize in a life force that can restrain the Fallen. Is that correct?"
"That's right," Chen Yu nodded, "May I ask what orders you have, General?"
"Do you know the specific situation of the current war between the Empire and the Abyss?" Derek didn't directly assign a task but instead asked.
"I don't know," Chen Yu answered truthfully.
"Come here," Derek brought Chen Yu to a large sand table and began explaining the war situation.
Chen Yu couldn't understand many of the professional terms and jargon used.
However, he could roughly understand the general meaning.
In short, the human side is currently at an absolute disadvantage.
Both in terms of quantity and quality, the human army is far inferior to the Abyss.
The frontline legions are stubbornly resisting with the support of the war fortress, Kele City.
Once Kele City falls, humans will have no defenses, and the Fallen will be able to advance unchecked.
Kele City is located about thirty kilometers behind the frontline camp.
The Abyss raiders from the past two days have effectively bypassed the Kele City defense line and entered the human rear.
"Is there anything I can do to be of service?" Chen Yu asked.
His mission is to defend Kele City for three months.
However, at this moment, Chen Yu does not have the Plant Life Legion at his disposal, so his means are limited.
He also doesn't know if he can defend against the onslaught of the Fallen army and numerous Demon bosses alone.
Therefore, it is necessary to seek external assistance.
It would be best to take on more military tasks, improve his military rank, and have more available forces under his command.
"There is a significant intelligence gap between us and the Fallen," Derek said.
"Because the Fallen can freely enter the non-corrosion zone."
"While our people are restricted when operating in the corrosion zone, severely weakening our strength."
"A large number of scouts have been killed, making it difficult for us to determine the movements of the Fallen army."
"So, I hope you can infiltrate the corrosion zone and gather intelligence."
"No problem!" Chen Yu immediately agreed.
Gathering intelligence is his specialty!
"At this location, there is a Fallen force of nearly a thousand stationed," Derek spread out a sheepskin map and pointed to a spot.
"They are a gathering of Abyss raiders and may take action soon."
"I hope you can find out their movements and, if possible, obtain their action route plans."
"No problem! I'll go right now," Chen Yu said, turning to leave.
"Wait!" Derek called out, stopping Chen Yu and walking up to him.
"General, what's your command?" Chen Yu asked.
"You forgot this," Derek said, taking off Chen Yu's badge and replacing it with one that had two pentagrams engraved on it.
...
Due to Chen Yu's many achievements, Sophia's rank had also been promoted.
She had jumped from a one-star soldier to a three-star soldier.
One more promotion and she would become a captain officer leading a small team.
At the moment, she was in the military camp vividly recounting her "battles" with Chen Yu.
In reality, Chen Yu's battles were not very exciting.
The whole process consisted of only two steps: 1. Summon the bloodthirsty demon, 2. Wait for the enemies to be killed.
The thrilling and exciting storylines were all made up by Sophia.
However, she was indeed skilled at storytelling, and the surrounding soldiers were all filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
"At that time, I thought it was just a routine ambush, and we could easily kill those despicable fallen ones."
"But I was wrong. The leader of that group of fallen ones turned out to be a Rank Four epic demon!"
"I advised the captain to retreat and seek reinforcements."
"But the captain told me that warriors must have the determination of warriors!"
"Soldiers must bear the responsibility of soldiers! He had to protect the civilians!"
"So, the captain drew his sword without hesitation and charged at the epic demon!"
"...After hundreds of rounds of intense battle, the captain was covered in blood, both his own and the demon's."
"But he persisted, never falling down, determined to strike the final blow."
"I was terrified at that time, but the captain was fighting desperately. How could I retreat?"
"I remembered what the captain said: even in the last moment, even in the depths of despair, we must not give up the fight."
"So, I..."
"So what did you do?"
"So I gathered the last bit of my fighting spirit and charged at the epic demon..."
"Ah? Captain?!!!"
Seeing Chen Yu's completely black face, Sophia immediately fell silent.
"Lord Sarando!"
"Look, it's Lord Sarando!"
The surrounding soldiers cheered and surrounded Chen Yu, treating him like an idol or a celebrity.
"Why are you all crowding here? Don't you need to go back and train?! Don't you know the saying? Sweat more in training, bleed less on the battlefield!" Chen Yu shouted sternly.
"Lord Sarando is truly wise in his words!"
"Everyone, disperse and train hard, don't disappoint Lord Sarando's expectations!"
"Yes, let's all go train!"
The soldiers, as if injected with chicken blood, started their training with great enthusiasm.
Chen Yu watched, feeling completely bewildered.
When did I have this kind of leadership influence?
I'm not a failed art student!
After the soldiers dispersed, Chen Yu turned his gaze to Sophia.
He swore that this was the most miserable he had ever been in his entire life!
When did a mere Rank Four demon boss become capable of battling him for three hundred rounds?
When did dealing with a Rank Four demon leave him covered in injuries?
He seriously suspected that Sophia, after being reprimanded, held a grudge against him and deliberately slandered him.
Damn little chick, daring to openly reveal her true colors!
