Chapter 180: Marching towards the Border (1/2)

Days passed.

In the city, Philip and the rest are having a somewhat semi-peaceful business.

The trouble-makers didn't dare to show up in the restaurant while business is going one because, in the first few days those that entered were so seriously injured that they wished they were crippled or even dead.

The psychotic punishments of the eighteen-year-old kid were circulated thoroughly within the candidates and also the troublemakers who work for money.

The most frightened of all are definitely the five noble kids, they didn't even dare to look towards the restaurant.

Their parents although angry didn't dare to make a move or instruct someone to do something as they were on a tight watch of Duke.

So, they could only grit their teeth and swallow the resentment. Their children though, didn't even want to think of a way to get revenge and that fear mainly stemmed from the thought of getting into the hands of Sam.

Even though, Philip and the rest are sometimes targeted, threatened and even ambushed outside the business hours, they still managed to pull through and after a month of hard work, they covered their losses and started to see some profits which is far more than they expected.

For the next few months, their lives are pretty much uneventful other than the cultivation breakthroughs. Philip entered the peak stage of Novice while Jack is in eight stage same as Watt.

Kelly though is only on verge of breaking though the middle stage Novice and entering the late stage.

Now there is only a month away from the shift change.

As the outside the camp is peaceful, inside the camp particularly Sam's battalion is full of battle spirit.

There is only a month for war and the main focus of this war is on the candidates and among the candidates Sam was even more special as he is a battalion commander.

His battalion soldiers are in completely high spirits compared to the other soldiers. Because, their training results made them full with confidence. They are quite sure that they can win the war as yesterday Sam explained to them that they are only responsible for defending a border town and their opponents are also only a battalion of soldiers.

When faced with equal opponents, these people are not afraid at all.

Every soldier was given uniform with their name embroidered on it along with their company number, squad number and a number indicating their position in the squad. They all have same type of uniform and the main difference laid in the colour.

Each company was given a different colour uniform.

And the ranks are separated by the stars on their shoulders. Their uniforms are mostly based on normal modern-day soldier's dress but the pockets are mostly reduced as there is minimum need for them. Every soldier uses a spatial ring so there is no need to worry about them at all.

Their uniforms are comfortable and stylish compared to their former uniforms. They felt a sense of pride and unity after wearing them.

Sam stood on the stage as he glanced at the soldiers who are assembled. He could feel their urge to battle from up there, he smirked and said in a loud voice.

”We are going to start out journey today towards the border town, since it is one of the closest borders to the southern star city.

The town we are going to guard is the Red rock canyon town. This town is separated from our enemy empire by a large red rock canyon. We are going to face our opponents head on as there is limited space for the strategies.

But still, I believe in the soldiers I trained. I want an overwhelming and clean victory. Even if there are a battalion of soldiers that we are going to face, I don't want to wait there for days.

Do you guys want to stay in a border towm?”

”No.” There is a loud roar in unison.

”So, we are going there finishing the battle as soon as we can and occupy the enemy's town. Then all we have to do is handover it to the authorities and come back to the southern star city.

Now, Depart.”
