Chapter 688 - Leeks Coming from Everywhere! (1) (2/2)
Han Xiao was speechless.
“Okay, got it. I’ll go to see Lagi now.”
Han Xiao closed his door and walked for a while before recalling something. He turned to Harmon and asked, “By the way, how many years till the selection battle for your tribal chief?
Harmon was one of the heirs of the Luhan Beastman Civilization’s Rockfall Tribe. The side mission from him was to join his War League and help him become the chief.
If he remembered correctly, this should be a Version 3.0 side mission, but in case the storyline had changed, Han Xiao decided to ask again.
Harmon counted with his fingers for a while and said with a hesitant tone, “I think eleven years less three days.”
The average life expectancy of the Luhan Beastmen was about 250 years, which was quite long. The selection of chief was a major event, it usually gave more than ten years to the candidates for them to form their War Leagues. This was because one selection often determined the chief for the next two hundred years.
“It’s a good thing you have comrades,” Han Xiao said with resignation, “otherwise I suspect you’d miss the selection battle and lose your position as an heir…”
Harmon opened his eyes wide and blew his lower lip unhappily, his thick lips shaking.
Han Xiao went straight to the bridge and immediately saw Lagi, who had been waiting for a long time. He smiled and walked forward, patting Lagi on the shoulder.
“You’re back.”
“Yes, I didn’t die on the way,” Lagi murmured. “I think it took all the luck I have in my life.”
Han Xiao’s smile stiffened. You’re too pessimistic!
“Ahem, do you remember what I said before you left?” Han Xiao said with resignation.
“Yes.” Lagi nodded and said, “You said you were going to cancel my workload and give me a raise.”
“No, I didn’t. Don’t bullsh*t!” Han Xiao clenched his teeth. “I said when you get back, you’ll be my vice captain!”
“Oh, then I remembered wrongly.” Lagi’s kept a straight face.
“Are you sure?” Han Xiao was suspicious. Why do I feel like you did that on purpose?
Hearing Han Xiao’s doubt, Lagi’s face became upset as he muttered, “You don’t trust me… Sigh, I should have known. People like me have no credibility.”
“Enough, you,” Han Xiao said with resignation. “Since you don’t have any objection, I’ll announce to the whole army that you’re the first vice-captain. By the way, I’m also planning to announce your past. You were once the Hidden Red Robe Abbey’s Forbidden Sorcerers’ commander. This past will increase your reputation, and no one will be unhappy about you becoming the vice-captain. Do you have any questions?”
Lagi nodded. He had no objections, but he did emphasize one point. “Don’t forget, you promised that my vice-captain position is just a title, and my workload won’t increase.”
Don’t you f*cking remember that crystal clear?
The appointment of the vice-captain was quickly transmitted to the communicators of the hundreds of thousands of official members of the Black Star Army.
When opening the Black Star Army’s mercenary group resume, under the ‘leader’ column, the vice-captain position that had always been empty finally had a first name written in it—Lagi Schwer.
Lagi had only joined for a very short time, so there was still a huge number of mid- to low-level mercenary members within the army that did not know him. With curiosity, confusion, surprise, and so on, they opened Lagi’s resume and were immediately shocked.
Not only was this newly appointed vice captain a Grade A+ Super, he was also the Hidden Red Robe Abbey’s Forbidden Sorcerers former commander, as well as the fourth disciple of ‘Magus’ Austin!
Lagi’s past was very impressive. Few outsiders knew about what had happened between Lagi and Austin; to many, this was a core member of a Beyond Grade A organization leaving and joining the Black Star Army!
Han Xiao was at the height of his popularity, so his every action attracted attention from countless people. Not only the army members, the various organizations that were paying attention to him were also shocked.
One of the Magus’ core members is now the vice-captain of the Black Star Army. Are they now working together?
The perception of the Black Star Army had subtly changed for countless people, including its members. Black Star’s recent achievements and the Black Star Army’s expansion seemed to show an inexorable rise.
As many people could see, Black Star wanted to use his soaring influence to benefit the Black Star Army, intending to become a Star Field level VIP!
The question that followed suddenly sparked interest from all sides.
What would Floating Dragon do if Black Star rose?
After all, the Black Star Army was nominally Floating Dragon’s field team. Now that Black Star showed Beyond Grade A potential, if he did deliver on that potential, would he continue to stay under Ames given the amount of ambition that he had shown?
While it was still unclear whether Black Star would become a Beyond Grade A, ambitions were not easy to erase. Black Star’s soaring position would change the way he thought sooner or later, inflating his ambitions.
Countless people were excited when thinking about the possibilities of the future.
If the announcement of the vice-captain drew attention, Han Xiao’s subsequent announcement triggered an earthquake.
The Black Star Army publicly issued a large-scale recruitment order to the entire Shattered Star Ring!
Han Xiao planned to tap into the ‘Beyond Grade A seed’ title to attract a large number of talents.
He believed that there were plenty of people willing to bet that he would become a Beyond Grade A.
Joining at this time would be more valued than joining a Beyond Grade A organization, it was equivalent to becoming a partner at the start of a business. Even if they lost the bet, it would only cost them time, so the loss would be within an acceptable range.
It was a huge gamble!
As the Black Star Army made the announcement, countless people and organizations across the ten or so Star Clusters in the Shattered Star Ring were tempted.
