Chapter 252 There Must Be A Place For You In The Thirty-Sixth Beacon Road
Frontline, central military camp.
Inside the main military tent, Chen Yu placed the Abyss Marauder's marching route map on the legion commander's desk.
"Good! Captain Sarando, I knew I didn't misjudge you."
Legion Commander Derek was delighted.
"By the way, they didn't discover your whereabouts, did they?"
If the Abyss Marauders discovered that their marching route map had been stolen, they would definitely change their plans.
The troops sent to intercept would be in vain, and the villages in the rear would suffer great losses without any defense.
This was Derek's biggest concern.
"General, rest assured, they definitely haven't discovered it," Chen Yu said.
"Furthermore, there are only 500 Fallen in that Marauder's base, and another part of them may have already started their actions."
"Please make arrangements as soon as possible to avoid any losses."
"Hmm, I understand," Legion Commander Derek frowned and looked at the operational map.
After a moment, he looked up, his face full of smiles.
"If this route map is genuine, then there are only this number of Abyss Marauders in that base, and the intelligence I received before was incorrect."
"Also, Captain Sarando, do you mind if I talk to your deputy to understand the situation?"
Legion Commander Derek already knew that Sofia was Chen Yu's guide and generally did not participate in combat.
Sometimes, observers have a more objective and comprehensive understanding of the overall situation.
"Of course, please go ahead."
Chen Yu walked out of the tent and called Sofia, who was waiting outside, to come in.
Immediately, Sofia's excited voice began to flow endlessly.
Her voice was smooth and beautiful, full of emotional tension, vividly describing the scene.
Even the two soldiers guarding the tent couldn't help but listen attentively.
Some passing soldiers were also attracted by Sofia's fluctuating narrative.
In a short while, more than ten curious soldiers gathered at the tent entrance.
These listeners quickly immersed themselves in the story, as if they were there themselves.
Only Chen Yu's face grew darker and darker.
After a long time, Chen Yu was called back by Legion Commander Derek.
In the gaze of Legion Commander Derek, besides shock, there was also a sense of respect.
"Captain Sarando, did you really wipe out an entire Abyss Marauder base?"
"Yes, General," Chen Yu replied.
"This is truly a miracle!" the Legion Commander exclaimed.
"It's hard to imagine that in such a dangerous situation, you were able to stand up for the Empire's civilians in the rear and fight against the Fallen."
"However," the Legion Commander's tone changed, "you still need to act rationally in the future."
"Although you are powerful, there are countless strong individuals in the Abyss Corrosion Zone."
"The goddess of luck will not always favor the same person. You have proven your abilities."
"Your importance is no less than that of an entire legion. Please ensure your own safety as much as possible."
"Okay, I understand, General," Chen Yu nodded, "please assign me the next mission."
"You are seriously injured, so you should rest and recover first," the Legion Commander said.
"Thank you for your concern, General, but I am not injured. Please assign me a mission," Chen Yu glared at Sofia fiercely.
Sofia immediately shrank her neck.
"Sarando, don't make things difficult for your deputy," the Legion Commander sighed, "her choice to speak the truth was correct."
"I know that you are eager to serve the Empire and defend its safety."
"But you must understand, you must stay alive in order to better serve the empire."
"Alright, enough talking. Rest for three days and take good care of your injuries. That's an order."
"Furthermore, you will single-handedly annihilate an entire marauder camp. This achievement is a reward for your brave actions."
The legion commander handed a hexagram badge to Chen Yu.
"You can choose personnel from various camps under my command or the reserve camp."
"During these three days, make sure your warrior camp is well-equipped."
"Alright, you may go now."
"Thank you, General." Chen Yu saw Derek's resolute will and knew that he wouldn't give him any more tasks. So he reluctantly took the badge and left.
Sophia followed behind Chen Yu, keeping her head down the whole time, afraid that Chen Yu would explode in anger and subject her to inhumane torture.
In reality, Chen Yu didn't blame Sophia.
If previously in the small camp, Sophia had acted on impulse and bragged to the soldiers,
Then in front of the legion commander, she definitely didn't have any gossiping thoughts, but was instead trying to promote Chen Yu's achievements.
It must be understood that
Giving everything and risking one's life to accomplish a heroic feat for the country and the people
Is completely different from easily surpassing the superior's requirements and completing a military order.
The former is awe-inspiring and seen as a hero by superiors and the public.
The latter may make superiors suspect your background.
Even if Chen Yu reported it himself, he would use some linguistic artistry to embellish the process.
Just not as exaggerated as Sophia.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Humans and fallen ones were in a standoff, with no major conflicts occurring.
The Abyss marauders continued to harass incessantly.
Since all the marauders who took Chen Yu's path were wiped out, only a small number of fallen ones managed to infiltrate Derek's defense zone, which meant Chen Yu didn't get any extra kills.
As a one-star camp commander (warrior captain), he could have 30 warrior squads under his command.
Chen Yu felt that selecting personnel was too troublesome, so he let Sophia take care of it.
He had no worries at all about whether Sophia was capable.
This guy had an incredible ability to inspire people, as if she was born to do this.
If she had been born in the late period of an ancient Chinese dynasty, she would probably have had a place as a leader of a peasant uprising.
Sophia didn't disappoint Chen Yu.
In less than a day, she selected thirty elite warrior squads from various warrior camps.
In the remaining two days, she embellished Chen Yu's deeds and used various brainwashing techniques.
In just two days, these initially reluctant soldiers were tamed and regarded Chen Yu as their guiding light in life.
The three-day vacation ended, and Chen Yu went to the central military camp to request a mission from Derek, the legion commander.
Derek didn't hold back and directly handed him a mission map.
Unlike the previous trial mission, this mission was to gather intelligence on the fallen vanguard army.
The map indicated the possible range where the fallen vanguard army might be stationed.
What Chen Yu needed to do was to find the exact location and gather information on their movements.
The fallen vanguard army consisted of at least two thousand to five thousand soldiers.
The quality of the army was higher than that of the Abyss marauders, and there must be at least five or more Rank Four demon bosses among them.
The more soldiers there were, the more demon bosses there would be.
It was also possible for some elite fallen vanguard armies to have Rank Five demon bosses.
