Chapter 342: This Time, Match the Lines!


    Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    First ce in both the exploration mission!


    The appearance of Wang Ye and the other two immediately left the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army’s Netherblue Team, one of the three special forces, feeling disgraced.


    The special forces were the elites of the elites, and they were responsible for different missions.


    The Netherblue Team was responsible for scouting and reconnaissance.


    The Netherblue Team was tasked with search and remation.


    On the other hand, The Deep Blue Team was responsible for rescue and assassination.


    In all exploration missions, the Netherblue Team consistently secured the top spot.


    The only variation was which team within the Netherblue Team would take the lead.


    Even in this recent exploration mission, among the top ten, the Netherblue Team imed five spots.


    In the top three, they managed to secure the second and third positions.


    However, a rookie team managed to outshine them!


    While discovering the New Hetuo wasrgely attributed to luck, the third team of the Xu Wolf Guards didn’t make their discovery in the Pipino Gxy, as was their usual jurisdiction. Surprisingly, it wasn’t even within the Hetuo Gxy!


    They discovered the New Hetuo in the Wutata Gxy!


    Who would have anticipated that?


    In stark contrast to the Netherblue Team’s loss of face, there was undoubtedly General Xu standing in front of Senior General Ke.


    With a serene smile on his face and unable to close his mouth, General Xu Zhongkai looked at Wang Ye as if he were gazing upon his godson, his pride unconcealed.


    That was what it meant to have a keen eye!


    That was what it meant to be open-minded in choosing people!


    It was all embodied in Xu Zhongkai!


    Standing alongside several seasoned senior generals, General Xu stood tall and felt a sense of delight.


    These outdated senior generals only knew how to follow the rules.


    And what was the result?


    Defeat in the Yongshi Gxy!


    It was time for a reshuffling of the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army.


    “The third team of the Xu Wolf Guards, Captain Wang Ye, team members Ju Bairuo and Yan Sanqi.” The strategist’s voice echoed crisply, resounding throughout the martial arts field. “In the exploration mission of the Hetuo Gxy, they not onlypleted their assigned tasks but also discovered the New Hetuo. They killed numerous Super Star level demon generals, thwarting the demon race’s conspiracy and disying outstanding performance.”


    “In addition to the original battle credit rewards, we are now awarding additional mission rewards as follows.”


    “Yan Sanqi, promoted from ensign to sub-lieutenant. Can lead 1,000 troops.”


    “Ju Bairuo awarded the title of the centurion. Can lead loo troops.”


    “Wang Ye awarded the title of ensign. Can lead 300 troops.”


    The recruits who had just joined the personal guards couldn’t help but show envy.


    This was a title that they could directly obtain, without the need for military credit exchange!


    At first nce, Yan Sanqi received the most rewards.


    But in reality, Wang Ye and Ju Bairuo gained more.


    Especially Wang Ye.


    From a newly enlisted soldier to leading 300 soldiers as an ensign.


    Yan Sanqi had fought in the military camp for decades, participated in numerous battles, and went through life-threatening situations before achieving the rank of ensign.


    However, Wang Ye attained it in just one mission!


    “I can lead troops?” Wang Ye was also somewhat surprised.


    There were two ways to obtain a military camp title, which were exchanged for it from the battle credit vault or being directly conferred by the military camp.


    Thetter was preferable.


    Not only did exchange for titles from the battle credit vault cost battle credits, but it also had additional requirements.


    For example, titles at the lieutenant level.


    Even the lowest rank of centurion required qualifications for promotion from decurion.


    So, even if Wang Ye could directly exchange for the title of sub-lieutenant with his umted battle credits, he would, at most, only be able to lead ten soldiers, like a decurion.


    But now, there was no need for that.


    He could directly lead 300 soldiers onto the battlefield!


    This was the achievement effect brought about by the discovery of the New Hetuo!


    Yan Sanqi’s eyes were filled with excitement.


    Being promoted from ensign to sub-lieutenant wasn’t easy. Just the expenditure of 100,000 battle credits was already a substantial amount, and they still had to gain approval from the military camp.


    Below the general level, reaching sub-lieutenant was already at its peak.


    Moving up further would be the second lieutenant, requiring bothmand experience and a track record of achievements, not just qualifications.


    Ju Bairuo clenched his fists, a graceful smile on his face, reveling in his joy.


    This promotion had directly saved him ten years!


    Experience needed to be earned.


    Without a background, special talents, certificates, or outstanding achievements, it typically took ten years of experience in the military camp to be promoted to centurion.


    What a great start!


    “Captain Wang Ye, awarded a full set of second lieutenant-grade standard equipment, with a bounty of one million!”


    “Team members Ju Bairuo and Yan Sanqi were awarded a full set of lieutenant-grade standard equipment, with a bounty of one hundred thousand each!”


    The strategist’s resonant voice echoed.


    The soldiers couldn’t help but be envious. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    In the military camp, there were rewards for battle credits, but mary rewards were rare!


    A bounty of one million, equivalent to a million cosmic dors, was nearly the entire wealth of an advanced Dark Energy level expert.


    Even a bounty of one hundred thousand was already a substantial amount.


    As for equipment, it could be obtained through the exchange of battle credits.


    Aplete set of second lieutenant-grade standard equipment cost around a million battle credits.


    Lieutenant-level standard equipment required one hundred thousand battle credits.


    The difference in cost was negligible whenpared to exchanging for military titles.


    “Thank you for the general’s reward!” Wang Ye and the other two bowed and expressed their gratitude.


    Senior General Ke nodded.


    He gave the three of them an extra nce, especially Wang Ye.


    He was highly satisfied.


    The timing was crucial on the battlefield!


    The demon race had already discovered the New Hetuo.


    If not for Wang Ye, the demon race would have quickly invaded the Wutata Gxy and seized control.


    Following that, the expansion would ur, gradually spreading out from the New Hetuo’s center.


    At that point, with the devil race’s Yongshi Gxy and the demon race’s Autuo Gxy as support, the New Hetuo would be impregnable.


    Without a seven-star life, the Hetuo Gxy would be left as an empty shell.


    While the previous explorations might not have been in vain, the benefits would have significantly diminished.


    But the situation had changed now!


    They could upy the New Hetuo ahead of the demon race!


    Although a battle was unavoidable, considering the current circumstances, taking the initiative to establish a defensive perimeter around the New Hetuo would provide them with a substantial advantage!


    There was a vast difference between the two!


    This Wang Ye is not just a talented individual but also a fortunatemander!


    “Report to Senior General, I’m willing to exchange a reward for some dignity.” Wang Ye’s voice suddenly echoed.


    Ju Bairuo and Yan Sanqi, who were preparing to step back, were momentarily taken aback.


    Yan Sanqi was still somewhat bewildered, but Ju Bairuo immediately grasped the situation, giving Wang Ye a deep look.


    This guy was truly one to bear a grudge. He wouldn’t ept any loss!


    “Dignity? What dignity?” Senior General Ke furrowed his brow.


    Wang Ye lifted his head, his eyes piercing. “The dignity of the Xu Wolf Guards, the dignity of the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army!”


    “What do you mean?” Senior General Ke stared at Wang Ye.


    Wang Ye spoke with seriousness, “To be honest, during my execution of the exploration mission, the families of the five cosmic nations sent four powerful individuals to ambush me. Theypletely ignored my identity as a Xu Wolf Guard, a member of the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army!”


    “Really?” Senior General Ke’s expression turned ominous.


    “I can testify,” Ju Bairuo and Yan Sanqi spoke up.


    Wang Ye continued, “It was precisely because we shed with the powerhouses from the families of the five cosmic nations that we entered the Wutata Gxy and stumbled upon the New Hetuo. However… I can’t let this slide!”


    “Although I’m just a soldier, if I allow the families of the five cosmic nations to bully me without retaliation, it will undoubtedly tarnish the reputation of the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army andpromise our dignity!”


    “The families of the five cosmic nations have offended you. It’s like inheriting eight lifetimes of bad luck,” Ju Bairuo muttered inwardly.


    He could already anticipate what would unfold.


    If Wang Ye were just an ordinary soldier, his words might not be taken seriously.


    But now, he held the title of ensign personally conferred by Senior General Ke, was the standout figure in the exploration mission, and was the hero who discovered the New Hetuo Star!


    While it might notpletely salvage the reputation of the Azure Mountain


    Milky Way Army, in the current situation…


    His words carried no less weight than those of ten thousand generals!


    Especially since this guy shamelessly intertwined his matters with the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army!


    Senior General Ke’s expression grew solemn.


    The counselor by his side had already exined in detail the connection between Wang Ye and the families of the five cosmic nations.


    At this moment, the surrounding soldiers and personal guards also wore stern expressions.


    Especially the members of the Xu Wolf Guards.


    Amon enemy!


    It ignited a burning fury.


    Wang Ye had certainly elevated the reputation of the Xu Wolf Guards this time!


    To be oppressed by a mere cosmic nation family, how could he endure it?


    D*mn them!


    “Quite audacious!” After listening to the counselor’s exnation, Ke Yuanba’s eyes gleamed with a sudden rage, emitting an imposing aura.


    “They think they can defeat my Azure Mountain Milky Way Army!”


    Bang!


    The mixed ck giant hammer emanated a chilling ck light, and a terrifying aura was released.


    The power of the indestructible artifact resonated with Ke Yuanba’sbat prowess, causing the atmosphere to instantly be tense.


    Ke Yuanba stared directly at Wang Ye. “Take the reward given to you. I’ll take this matter on your behalf!”


    “I dare not trouble the senior general,” Wang Ye said. “This is a private matter, and I should handle it myself. With the army about to set out, the Senior General should not be distracted by such a minor issue. The battle with the demons is the top priority.”


    “What a skillful way to retreat to advance. You’ve said all the right things…” Ju Bairuo thought.


    This time, the five great cosmic nation families were probably in for a disaster.


    “Yuanzhen!” Ke Yuanba called out with an appreciative look.


    “I’m here.” A young man in white armor stepped forward from Deep Blue Team. He was handsome and had amanding presence, sharing 70% of his facial features with Ke Yuanba, suggesting a blood rtionship.


    “I’m entrusting this matter to you. Handle it properly! Don’t bring shame to the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army!” Ke Yuanba ordered.


    “Yes, Senior General.” Ke Yuanzhen nodded respectfully.


    His gaze shifted to Wang Ye, and he nodded in acknowledgment.


    “Wang Ye is under mymand. I must be involved in this matter. I won’t let him down,” Xu Zhongkai said, looking at Wang Ye. “I’ll have Commander Yu make arrangements. Take the Xu Wolf Guards, be bold, and do what you need to do!”


    “I’ll bear all the consequences for you!”


    Xu Zhongkai’s voice was resolute, and he exuded a sense of pride.


    In this mission, Wang Ye had demonstrated his capabilities.


    As a general, it was only fitting for Xu Zhongkai to make a stand.


    “Thank you, General Xu,” Wang Ye bowed.


    Although this was a strategic move to win support, themitment was genuine.


    Not only did he have the support of the Xu Wolf Guards and General Xu, but the entire Azure Mountain Milky Way Army had be his pir of support since Senior General Kemitted.


    A hundred thousand-strong army!


    It was time to settle scores, old and new.


    He wasn’t one to seek trouble, but he wasn’t afraid to confront it either.


    For a long time, the five cosmic nation families had been like five relentless hounds, biting onto his clothes without letting go.


    Come on!


    This time, let’s have a proper showdown!


    Weren’t they just relying on their numbers and strong backing?


    Now, let’s see whoes out on top!
