Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 174 Mission

"Squadron Leader, are you going to promote him two levels in a row?" the Wolf-Leader Overseer frowned even more after hearing Fingleton's reasoning.

In the orc army, when the officer position reaches the squadron leader level, he will start to set up a deputy position, and the blade will be promoted, if it is only promoted by one level according to the normal steps, then it should only be promoted to deputy squadron leader. However, Fingleton intends to promote Blade directly to squadron leader, which is obviously going to be promoted by skipping the ranks.

"My lord, we all know that you are strict with your family, but you can't deliberately suppress Blade just because he is your son, right?" Wolf-Headed Overseer's expression fell into Fingalton's eyes, and of course he understood what he was thinking, so Fingleton took the lead and blocked what Wolf-Headed Overseer wanted to say.

After a moment of silence, the wolf-headed overseer suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: "You're right! As the saying goes, 'a virtuous person does not avoid relatives', my son is already a great talent, and he has made great achievements many times, so he deserves to get what he deserves! Hehe, since I was reinstated, I have been walking on thin ice, and in order to prevent Your Majesty from becoming suspicious of me again because of my excessive power in the army, I have now become too cautious. In terms of rewarding meritorious deeds, I have indeed been unfair to my son!"

Fingleton didn't dare to express his opinion on the Wolf-Headed Overseer's grumbling about the Lionheart, so he had to pretend not to hear what the Wolf-headed Overseer was saying.

"You go and draw up orders!Blade can be promoted to squadron leader!" the wolf-led overseer said lightly.

In just half a day, the blade received two orders in a row.

The first order was a mandate. In the appointment order, Blade was promoted, and he will continue to serve in the 3rd Wing, but will no longer be part of the current 2nd Squadron, but will be transferred to the 5th Squadron as a squadron leader in the 3rd Squadron.

In the battle, the Fifth Brigade was the first wave of cavalry units to attack the Sea Clan's turtle men, so the casualties were relatively large, and several squadron leader-level officers were killed in the battle, including the main and deputy squadron leaders of the third squadron. In these two vacancies, the main position of squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron was taken over by Blade, while the post of deputy squadron leader was promoted from a squad leader who originally belonged to the 3rd Squadron.

After learning that Blade had been promoted two levels in a row and became a squadron leader, the soldiers of the fourth squad were all thunderous. Although Blade is about to leave for another brigade and will leave everyone again, the soldiers of the fourth squad are still sincerely happy for the captain's promotion.

However, the jubilation did not last long, and Blade soon received a second order.

The second order was a mission order that required Blade to go to Fort Riptide alone to scout the enemy before leaving for duty in the Third Squadron.

After Blade received the second order, the emotions of the werewolf warriors of the fourth squad changed from joy to anger in a blink of an eye.

"Going to Riptide Fort alone to investigate? Now Riptide Fort is full of rebels, no different from Longtan Tiger's Den, who gave this bastard order, didn't this push you into the fire pit, boss?"

"Don't the people who gave the order know that the captain is the son of the Overseer?"

"Even if we want to go to Fort Riptide to investigate, we can't let the boss be the only one in danger!

"Yes, let's go find the theory above now!"

Seeing that the werewolf warriors of the fourth squad were about to break out of the barracks with great momentum, the blade had to reach out to stop them, and scolded:

"Give me all peace!"12

Although Blade was no longer the captain of the fourth squad at this time, his prestige was as high as ever, and as soon as the words came out, the noisy barracks was instantly quiet.

"Don't make a fuss! this order must have been given by the Overseer himself!" Blade said slowly. It is said that knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father, and the same knowing father is also Mo Ruozi, the first time the blade got the task of detecting Riptide Castle, he guessed that this should be his father's tempering of himself.

"What?" the werewolf warriors all opened their mouths wide in astonishment when they heard the Blade's conclusion.

"Old ...... Boss, this ...... How could the Overseer give such an order? Aren't you his son, how can a father do this...... Son?" Beta asked, slurring, incomprehensible about this.

"It's just a reconnaissance mission, and I don't think it's that dangerous. Blade shrugged his shoulders, his face light. It's not that he's pretending to be relaxed, in fact, he really doesn't think it's a difficult task.

Although there are many mercenaries in Riptide Castle, many of them are masters, but this mission is just a reconnaissance, as long as you cover your identity, the chance of fighting with the mercenaries in the city is not great. And his own combat power is not low, even if his identity is really exposed, if he wants to escape, those mercenaries want to keep him, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

After receiving the task of scouting Fort Riptide, Blade quickly packed his luggage, disguised himself as a lone orc mercenary wandering on the grassland, rode a wolf, and set off for Fort Riptide in the northeastern part of the prairie that day.

Until Blade left, the Wolf Overseer did not meet him again. Because of the wolf leader overseer at this moment, there are more important people who need to be sent.

On the walls of Moon Bay Fort, the Wolf Leader Overseer and the Seven-Star Sword Saint stood side by side, saying goodbye.

"Lord Overseer, now that this is the case, it's time for me to take my leave!" Scythe said.

"Steelsickle-sama, are you going to continue to investigate that matter?"

"It's already a bit of an eyebrow!" Scythe nodded.

"That dragon can't really be a god-level dragon, right?" Fury Wind's expression suddenly became solemn.

"How is that possible?" Steel Scythe laughed dumbly, "Actually, after receiving Quentin's report, the temple analyzed that the dragon was definitely not a god-level dragon. After all, Quentin has not entered the Holy Rank, and his vision is still not enough. Although 'Spatial Flicker' is known as a divine skill, it does not have to be performed only by god-level powerhouses. For some Saint-Rank powerhouses who are known for their spatial supernatural powers, even if they fail to step into the Divine Rank, they can still perform this skill. Of course, this kind of powerhouse who can master the 'Spatial Flicker' in the Holy Rank Realm is so strong that at least it is not comparable to a person like me!"

"Since the temple has made up its mind on this, what else did it send you to the Northern Frontier Grassland to investigate?" said Fury Wind.

"Walking in the form of an elf dressed in seven-colored clothes, and also able to 'flicker in space' divine skills, according to the temple texts, hundreds of years ago, there was a dragon who had a great enmity with the Empire, which seems to fit the aforementioned characteristics!"

Hearing this, after thinking for a while, Fufeng suddenly changed color and said, "Could it be ......?"

Steel Scythe put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and said word by word: "The real purpose of my coming to the Northern Frontier Grassland this time is to investigate whether this dragon is O'Fallan!"
