In the end, Zhan Guo, Karp, He, and Zefa all left with Skeleton Kong.
The drill ground was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone watched their backs as they gradually left with burning gazes.
It wasn't until they were out of sight that everyone started to clamor.
"The Steel Skeleton General actually agreed. My God, I'm so envious.”
"Is this the treatment that only the strong get? The main general had personally invited him, and he had to agree to the conditions.”
"Chance, hiss…We have to be soldiers for a few years after graduation, but it seems like the Sengoku Empire can ignore this step.”
"With their strength, I don't know what position they will hold the next time we meet. At that time, we might have to call them senior officers.”
"Oh ~~~ I really want to be with Brother Zhanguo.”
"Hey, stop looking. You'll lose your balance if you look too much.”
"Those two bastards, Karp and Zefa, are simply too comfortable. They will get a lot of benefits just by following big brother Sengoku.”
“……”
………………
General's office.
Ignoring the thoughts of the others, the few of them had already entered the exclusive room of the steel skeleton.
"Don't be so formal. Sit anywhere you want."
Gu Gukong walked to his office and said to the four members of the War Country with his hand supporting his chin.
Crane and Zefa were still a little uncomfortable. They stood where they were without moving.
Sengoku and Karp didn't think too much about it. They found a comfortable spot on the sofa and sat down.
"You have to get used to it. We are already the Steel General's men.”
Zhan Guo's voice sounded in the office. He Cai took a deep breath and sat beside him.
Seeing this, Zefa also sat down beside Karp.
"Hahahaha, Zhan Guo is right. The moment you leave with me, you will be my people.”
Gu Gukong smiled brightly and nodded."In the future, be more relaxed in front of me. I prefer a free atmosphere.”
"What a coincidence, Uncle Kong. I'm also such a person.”
When Karp, who was not bothered by trifles, heard this, he placed his hands flat on the back of the sofa and crossed his legs. He grinned and said,"Let's get along well in the future. We're all on the same side, haha.”
“……”
Steel Skeleton's face darkened.
Should I not have said that?
With Karp's interruption, the atmosphere in the office improved a little.
The expressions on Crane and Zefa's faces also relaxed slightly.
When Cyborg saw this, he didn't care about Karp's improper behavior. He continued,
"The last time we met was four years ago. Speaking of which, I don't know much about you. By the way, why did you join the Navy? Crane, you go first."
"Yes, sir!" Crane subconsciously stood up and said in a pleasant voice,""I joined the navy to protect civilians from pirates.”
Gu Gukong nodded and did not express his opinion. He shifted his gaze to the other side."Zefa, what about you?"
"Carry forward justice and let the banner of justice be planted in every corner of the world.”Zefa replied firmly.
"What about you, Karp?"
"Oh…I just hate pirates and want to beat them up. After thinking about it, it seems that only the navy specializes in fighting pirates, so I came!”
Karp scratched his head and thought for a while before answering.
Zefa smiled.
This was the most interesting answer he had heard in his decades in the navy.
Compared to the other reasons that were exaggerated, he liked this simple and unadorned answer more.
When he first joined the navy, it was also because he wanted to gather with a group of like-minded people and beat up a pirate.
Justice, protecting civilians, he didn't understand these things at such a young age.
He looked at Karp with a more satisfied gaze, then at the calm and quiet Sengoku, the person he cared about the most and was most curious about.
"Zhan Guo, why did you join the navy?”
Zhan Guo pursed his lips. A mischievous youth with an afro seemed to appear in front of him. He sighed and said,
"For the sake of a promise, he wanted to become the strongest naval soldier and protect all civilians, so I came to fulfill his wish.”
"Is it the owner of the tomb you buried on top of Mount Osillon?”Steel Skeleton thought for a moment and asked softly.
"Yes!"
"It seems like he is very important to you, but kid, I have to tell you that this wish is very difficult to fulfill. The strongest naval soldier is not a general. Above a general is a marshal, and he protects all civilians. Unless you make the pirate profession disappear, it will be very difficult.”
"Everything depends on one's own efforts. How will we know if we don't try? I will become a marshal."
Zhan Guo shrugged and continued,""Speaking of which, since we've already become your officers, have you thought about how to arrange us?”
Even Karp pricked up his ears when he heard this topic.
"Hehe, kid, didn't you want a chance to become a Great General? I'll give it to you."
The Steel Skeleton King laughed meaningfully and scanned Karp and the others from left to right."I know you want it too."
Karp, Zefa, and Crane's eyes lit up, and they nodded frantically.
The desk drawer was opened, and a stack of bounty notices was held in the hands of the steel skeleton.
"According to the rules, the top three graduates of the academy are colonels, and the fourth place is major. You have to follow behind your superior to capture pirates in the world. Those who perform well will be recommended to be promoted to brigadier general three years later, and then have the opportunity to lead troops to war.”
"After becoming a Brigadier General, you will lead the soldiers to complete the mission alone. Then, you will be promoted to Major General, Major General to Lieutenant General, and Lieutenant General to General.”
"Every promotion requires not only capturing pirates to accumulate merit points, but also time.”
"But since you guys are people I think highly of, and you've also promised Zhan Guo, I can open the back door for you. Do you see this stack of bounty notices…"
Gu Gukong placed the bounty on the table and divided it into five parts. He continued,
"First, complete the task as a team. Then, each of you can rely on your own abilities to capture the target of your bounty. Then, you can skip the colonel, brigadier general, major general, and more than ten years of hard work to become a lieutenant general in the navy.”
"Little fellows, opportunities always correspond to crises. This is equivalent to pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Do you still want to accept it?”
Zhan Guo and Karp stood up at the same time and accepted the three bounty notices on the table without thinking.
"What about the general's mission?" Zhan Guo asked.
"I'll give it to you when you become a lieutenant general.”Steel Skeleton replied.
"Alright, I don't want to waste any more time. We're leaving now.”
"I will stay in the headquarters for the next two years. You can deploy my warships and soldiers at the port. Of course, whether you can make those arrogant people listen to you in the end depends on your own ability.”
Zhan Guo nodded and didn't say anything else. He had been waiting for this moment for four years and was prepared for it.
He looked at He He and Zefa and said slowly,""Think carefully. You don't have to keep up with us. After all, fighting pirates is not a joke.”
"That's right, Ah He, Zefa, why don't you two train for another two years?”Karp also advised.
Zefa was only 18 years old, and He was only 20 years old. They were not monsters like Sengoku and Karp. Although their strength was outstanding among their peers, they were still inexperienced when it came to fighting.
Crane and Zefa looked at each other, nodded, and stood up." Don't we have to complete the party bounty first? The Steel General wouldn't make such an arrangement for no reason. His intentions are obvious, so…"
"We want to join together. Anyway, if we feel that our strength is not enough after the party mission is completed, we can forfeit at that time.”
Crane looked at Steel Skeleton and asked.
"Of course. Crane, your brain works really fast. Actually, the most suitable position for you should be an advisor, not a combatant.”Gu Gukong sighed.
"Thank you for your suggestion.”
With the bounty in their hands, the four of them turned around and left without hesitation.
Gu Gukong looked at the four young figures with a deep gaze.
"Don't die, little ones.”
