In the afternoon, sitting on the stone steps on the seaside of Jolo Island, holding the M82 anti-materiel sniper rifle that I just got, looking at the blue sea from afar, the light sea breeze blowing on my face, the afternoon sun is lazy and pleasant, the sea water gently washes the silver-white sand, and on the horizon where the water and the sky meet, a few seagulls hovering among them, adding the finishing touch to this beautiful picture, I think heaven is nothing more than that.

I wanted to bring Xia and Xia to Manila to have fun and spend a few days in a rare free time, but I didn't expect the Philippine military to put us together and ask the recruits to participate in the training to end the one-month intensive training with actual combat.

Especially after learning that the goddess and I arrived, this order was issued two days in advance, obviously to use Caesar's power to eliminate the pirates, since the training period has not arrived, as the instructor of the Grim Reaper and the devil naturally have to lead the team to set off, and we can't watch the two of them go to the battlefield and stand idly by, so that the Philippine military hired four Caesar team members without spending a dime.

To be honest, I really admire the general who gave this order, and forced us to carry it out because he threw his wishful thinking on our heads.

The most rampant in the waters is the Abu Sayyaf Group, an Itearanist extremist group that is the most powerful rebel in the Philippines, but there are many other scattered small groups.

These sea bandits only bully unarmed merchant ships, taking hostages and demanding ransoms, are not unlike Alphadi, the king of Somali pirates, who would normally retreat after a tentative attack as long as there were escorts and weapons on board.

As for this Abu Sayyaf organization, it is a difficult role, and ordinary merchant ships basically explain it when they encounter it, and the Abu Sayyaf organization was founded in 91 by the Abdul Ragak organization, an Izoran missionary, and has received great assistance from al-Qaeda.

After the outbreak of the war in Afghanistan, al-Qaeda was busy with its own affairs and the Abu Sayyaf group was at peace for a while, but recently it has come back to trouble, orchestrating dozens of hostage-taking incidents and demanding millions of dollars in ransom from the government in just a few months.

After sending troops to encircle and suppress them many times to no avail, the government still has a very tough attitude, shouting slogans that it will never compromise with the bandits; of course, most of the hostages taken are not Filipino nationals, and they are not their own family members, so they naturally do not care whether they are dead or alive.

Although we had to follow the ship, we didn't plan to take these recruits to fight the Abu Sayyaf organization, just find a few soft persimmons and pinch them, just enough to make a difference.

"Hey, it's a good idea to watch the sea here alone!" The devil doesn't know when he will appear behind me.

"Aren't you supposed to give your recruits a pre-war mobilization? How can you come here when you have time, leaving your post without permission is not your style. I smiled and turned my head to look at him.

"Go to the damn pre-war mobilization, that's their military's business, Lao Tzu is too lazy to care, it's good that these bastards are all dead outside." The devil snorted disdainfully, obviously dissatisfied with this order from the military.

"They are the soldiers you lead, and you are the one who can't win the battle and is ashamed." I cocked my legs and rubbed my fingers on the barrel a few times.

"Is this possible? The four of us are enough to deal with that waste, not to mention the five hundred recruits to be cannon fodder. "The devil doesn't seem to be counting on them at all.

"Let's say okay first, I just want to sit on the deck and watch the scenery, don't look for me about the war." I stretched out comfortably, and I came with the mentality of traveling.

"No problem, if you can dodge the enemy's bazookas, I don't mind if you keep watching the show." The devil shrugged and had an indifferent expression.

"I'm not going to let the bazooka fire, that would disturb my mood." I patted the sniper rifle in my arms, and if I really didn't want to go to war, I wouldn't have gone on board with him.

"If you can kill Abdul Lagak with a single shot, you probably won't need those recruits." The devil gestured to the waterfowl hovering over the sea in the distance and made a gesture to shoot.

"Is he more difficult to deal with than Abadi?" I turned my head to look at the devil and laughed at the same time.

It is not difficult for us to kill the bandit leader, but it is just to see if there are enough chips, the Philippine military wants to solve this rebel group that has been entrenched in the south for more than ten years without spending a dime, it is simply a fool's dream, as long as Abdulajak does not put his head into my scope, I will not take the initiative to kill him, I don't want to be a gun for no reason.

"Have you two made out enough, and you're ready to go." At this time, the voice of death came over the radio.

"Let's go, take these children to see the battlefield." The Devil reluctantly stood up with his M249 machine gun in his arms, and he was not as excited when he first mentioned killing.

"I hope they don't pee their pants." I smiled softly and followed the devil to the docks.

"The soldiers I train are not as weak as you think." The devil looked back and said triumphantly.

"Yes, it's not easy for them to survive until now, be careful not to be stabbed in the back by your own soldiers, I think at least half of the recruits have made enemies with you so far." I know too well how the devil is trained, and it's a matter of sloppiness.

"Haha, I would like someone to do that, and those who dare to challenge the strong are qualified fighters." The devil's ideas are always unexpected, and perhaps he was the first to want his own soldiers to assassinate his own instructor.

The military dispatched 10 small ships, there are thousands of islands throughout the Philippines, many small islands are connected to narrow waterways, large warships cannot pass and are useless, many times when the bulky warships arrive at the accident site, the pirates have long fled.

With the previous lesson, this time they sent small ships, which greatly increased their flexibility, but also lost heavy firepower, but against pirates, a few carrier-based cannons were enough.

Five hundred recruits were standing neatly in the open space behind the docks, several officers were standing in front of the line, and a guy who looked like a general was giving a lecture, and it seemed that he was the commander-in-chief of the operation.

Not to mention how effective it is, after a month of training by the Grim Reaper and the Devil, these recruits have the consciousness of soldiers and have become a real army, not stragglers or rabble.

"Hey, who's that old guy?" I walked behind Death and asked, pointing to the general who was lecturing.

"The head of the military, the commander of this operation." The Grim Reaper held PSG and pouted expressionlessly, his tone full of disdain.

"He's not going to come aboard with him, is he?" I was surprised and asked, I don't want to be criticized in battle, especially if I'm an obnoxious guy.

"Don't worry, an officer of this level will not risk his life, but a few guys standing next to him can't say for sure." The devil pointed to the other officers.
