Wang Tong learned that the thirty-two GN node tactics that his comrades were cultivating were called the Tactics of Steel Blade. It was an offense-focused tactics that transferred the soul energy to pure damage output. It dealt decent damage to lower tier Zergs, but quickly fell short when it was used against better armored higher tier Zergs such as the Were Kong.
It was almost impossible for Jansining and his platoon to switch to other tactics because they had spent a considerable amount of time on their current tactics. Not only was it difficult for them to adapt to other tactics successfully, but forcing different tactics into their system could also be deadly.
Wang Tong scratched his head as he struggled to come up with an effective method to improve his teammates' combat ability.
Members of the ninth platoon were down to the earth and not judgemental. To them, Wang Tong was as capable as any elite soldiers despite his young age.
After a day of training, soldiers were throwing banters at each other while cleaning up their new METAL suits. Jansining walked into the locker room and brought news to everyone.
HQ had assigned them another student.
Members of the ninth platoon hoorayed when they heard the news, hoping that it would be another badass addition to the team like Wang Tong.
However, their heart sank as soon as they heard more about this new student.
She was from one of the Great Houses.
”What? Are you sure? Is she here on tour or what? What's there to see on Norton anyways.”
”Haha, we might as well change our job title to travel guides.”
”Why would princess want to come to this sh*thole? Can you refuse the assignment, lieutenant?”
No one on the ninth platoon wanted a useless burden, let alone one that required 24/7 care and protection.
Wang Tong's mind reeled as he wondered if it was Li Ruoer who came after him for revenge. If it was true, he not only worried about his own life, but also those of the entire platoon. It would be effortless for the Li family to let the ninth platoon to 'disappear,' they just need to order them to go on a suicidal mission.
Frustrated and feeling helpless, Wang Tong finally regretted ever offended Li Ruoer.
”This is an order from the higher-ups. We got no choice.”
”Lieutenant, do you think we should pull some tricks on her and scare her away?” Little O suggested.
”Little O, why don't you use your brain? This girl is from one of the Great Houses! My question is, why did she choose to join us?” Big Head scowled at Little O and then was immediately puzzled by his newfound question.
”Wang Tong, you two are of similar age. We will be counting on you to look after her. Don't let us down.” Jansining quickly threw his best soldier under the bus. But unknown to him, he might as well have just sent Wang Tong to his doom.
”Could you please let someone else look after her? I... I... ouch.. my stomach hurts. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to carry out the mission. Iron Tooth, how about you take over my duty?”
Iron Tooth took a step back into the shadows. ”No. I like busty mates, not interested in prickly little princesses. Choose someone else.”
”Ah... Lieutenant, I need to do dishes.”
”OH...right, I need to tidy up my room.”
Soon all the members of the ninth platoon were gone, leaving Wang Tong and the lieutenant alone, staring at each other.
”Wang Tong, you are part of our team now. You are our most trusted comrades and the most capable fighter. I am the lieutenant, and I have too many things to deal with every day. So, I have made my final decision to leave the duty of looking after this new member to you. We appreciate your sacrifice!”
Jansining gave Wang Tong a look that was half pity and half relief before he walked out of the room.
Wang Tong wiped the bead size sweat off his forehead as he became worried about his safety at the hands of the new team member.
After Wang Tong mulled over this conundrum for a while, he conceded that he would not be able to avoid the consequences of his actions. He hoped that time would eventually wash away this old feud. However, judging from the current situation, Wang Tong figured that Li Ruoer would return every ounce of suffering she had endured back at him.
