The low and mysterious voice disappeared as if it had never appeared, and it never rang in Qi Lang's ears again for nearly half a year after that.

Ou Wu was successfully promoted to the rank of a junior warrior, which was the news that Qi Lang heard the next day.

Ou Wu consumed all the ten primary spirit stones. Although he wasn't a very gifted fighter, he succeeded. He could proudly raise his head and show off his courage and combat effectiveness to all the soldiers. From that moment on, his face became red and translucent, but his nose was always tilted to the other side of Qi Lang, and he didn't know if it was a side effect after promotion, or Qi Lang's punch that made it fall to the root of the disease.

And Qi Lang is still looking for his hope. The blow of that defeat was really big, but Qi Lang rarely retained his self-confidence. The mysterious man said that he could take another path, which was probably a route that had been designed when he was trained for combat, but in fact, Qi Lang was not happy to accept this - the warriors of the old country were almost completely wiped out in the struggle against the Otto Empire, which already showed the disparity in strength. Although the little combat memory left in Qi Lang's mind may have some outstanding skills, what he needs is a more powerful comprehensive combat ability, preferably to surpass Quill's combat power, and for this, he needs to constantly explore new methods.

Although Qi Lang had not been promoted to the rank of Beginner Warrior as he had hoped, he noticed that the other soldiers had a slightly different look in their eyes when they saw him, and there was probably some awe in them, but the hostility was also not diminished.

Gulf had told Qi Lang more than once that the soldiers were privately rumoring that he might well be a martyr. Because martyrs do not rely on spirit stones to advance like white people, although they may still have to move up one level at a time, it seems that they use some other method. Zi Lang noticed that Gurf seemed to be a little frightened when he told him this, as if he was really a monster.

This is the second time Qi Lang has encountered such an interpretation, in fact, he can really guarantee that in all his memories, the title of martyr has never appeared.

It is said that many of the warriors of the Jade Kingdom were martyrs, and they were born to dedicate their souls to a noble god in exchange for their unsurpassed courage and superior fighting ability. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Luhmann Empire, it was the craziest thing in the world, because they had always believed that people could worship gods, but the ownership of souls should never be disputed, and they could only live freely in their own shells.

Just by virtue of this groundless conjecture, Qi Lang was regarded as a monster who was rebellious.

After carrying out that reckless operation, the more than 100 corporals of the Spiral Frontier Army returned to their daily training. Quill didn't need to be seen as often now, and his disrespectful words about Major William had somehow reached the ears of the commander, with the consequence that he was left idle, and Felix was more in charge of swordsmanship. The other two warbands of the Spiral Blade Army in Xia Qi Town were sent out, and there are no more capable swordsmanship instructors here in Xia Qi Town, although Felix is not particularly good, but he has been guided by many swordsmen since he was a child, and it is said that he also has two unique skills, but he will never teach them to everyone in swordsmanship training.

Gulf scoffed at this, for according to him, Felix had been sent back for help during that operation, but he was probably so frightened that he had gone in the wrong direction, so that by the time Lieutenant Dodim received the news, the group had already returned to the town. However, Major William's backstage was too hard, and Felix was still in the mix, and less than a year later, it was already reported that Felix would be promoted to sergeant when spring came.

So more corporals attached themselves to Felix's side, and the group began to divide secretly: half were pro-Felix, the remaining half were anti-Qilang, and of course, there was also a one-man group, Owu, who still didn't deal with anyone, but no one dared to provoke him easily, because his temper was really not very good, and his fists looked quite hard.

As for Gulf, he is still a loyal supporter of Qi Lang, but under normal circumstances, he still ostensibly sides with the anti-Qi Lang faction. Only then did Qi Lang realize that Gulf had chosen to have a tryst with him in such a secluded location by the Etrian River, and he really had a reason, and this clever guy had already seen the situation clearly.

But Qi Lang didn't care about that, the promotion alone was enough for him.

Half of the soldiers in the team have already been promoted. During sword training, when they slashed out the wooden swords in unison, it was like a pack of lions roaring. Although Qi Lang had also made great progress, he knew that it was different from others, the energy in the bodies of those beginner warriors had been stimulated, their strength had become stronger, and their shots had become more stable.

Although Qi Lang was still behind the big group, he noticed that others were still reluctant to practice swordsmanship with him, probably because of his skill that made others worry that it would be too embarrassing if a beginner warrior was stabbed a few times by an ordinary soldier who had not yet advanced.

However, in terms of archery, Qi Lang's progress is not small, the actual battle with the mutant lion and tiger beast with real swords and real guns has improved his psychological quality, and now even if a lightning bolt falls on his side, he can still grasp his bow without blinking, so that the arrow shot can accurately hit the ten rings thirty meters away. Although Qi Lang can't shoot three arrows in a second like Gurf and hit ten rings in a second, the arrows he shoots are the fastest, and he can make a sharp sound first.

Of course, that was also thanks to Gulf's private guidance. In the past time, except for the half-day holiday every Sunday to visit Dr. Qombe, he and Gulf have never stopped training in archery, and Qi Lang has improved very quickly because of it, and he has also mastered that skill, the kind of arrow that can bend!

That night, as usual, Qi Lang finished his work of cleaning the latrines and came to the Etrian River with his bow and arrows, but Gulf, who had always been punctual, arrived late. Qi Lang almost shot the oak leaf that was used as a target, and Gulf ran over.

"Qi Lang, I have news here, I think you will be interested. "Gulf shouted as soon as he came up, and looked very excited, as if he had won a few more Syr in some kind of gamble.

"That can't be news related to Crouch's bathroom, right?" Qi Lang replied insincerely.

"you, no kidding. Gulf was already immune to Qi Lang's teasing, but he was still unhappy with Qi Lang's coldness, "Can you pretend to be happy so that I can feel more accomplished?"

"Okay, what's the news?" Qi Lang showed a cooperative attitude.

A smile danced on Gulf's freckled face, "Did you hear that, we're probably going to choose a vice-captain." It was Ensign Maggie who secretly revealed it to me. ”

It turned out to be this news. Qi Lang couldn't continue the play, he was even guessing, I was afraid that there would be another person who would arrange other dirty work for him, I really couldn't figure it out, how could Gurf think that he would be interested: "Really, why do we need a vice-captain, isn't a Felix enough to give people a headache?"

"The official statement is to improve the level of training, but it is actually Dodim and Quill who are unhappy with Felix's set. Gulf still revealed mysteriously, "The matter of his private buying and selling of spirit stones will leak sooner or later!"

"So what. Qi Lang still didn't grasp the benefits.

"Think about it, what if that person is you?" Gulf said, the expression on his face full of affirmation of his brother, "Ensign Maggie is very optimistic about you, really, I guess she told me this news to convey this message to you." I know, she's always thought you were different!"

Qi Lang finally turned his face seriously and stared at Gulf's eyes seriously: "Why does she see it like this? Is it because I haven't advanced to become a beginner warrior yet? Or am I an Oriental who needs special care, an Oriental from a slave background?"

Gulf saw Qi Lang's suspicions, and he knew that his brother was having a bad time these days, so that all the kindness presented to him would be deliberately misinterpreted as a form of discrimination. That annoyed Gulf and he wanted to punch Qi Lang in the nose, and although he guessed that if he got into a serious fight, he would probably be beaten down in a few strokes, but he really couldn't tolerate his good friend treating the kind Ensign Maggie like this.

"I say, do you dare to be fair?!" Gulf glared at him, "don't you realize? You're like a porcupine with thorns all over your body now, and you just hide in the bushes and feel sorry for yourself! It's not like you, who only suffered a little setback, and thought that the whole world was against you!"

Qi Lang immediately conceded defeat. The evaluation of his good friend is to the point, he does have some problems with himself, and the various blows in this environment make his beliefs waver from time to time, doubting himself at the same time, but also doubting everything around him. But how does that help the future? What can it do other than bring confusion and confusion?

"Well, I apologize. But what do you say I should do?" Qi Lang calmed down, thinking about it carefully, he was indeed a man of the year in this team of 100 people, and if he wanted to compete for the position of vice captain, the favorable and unfavorable factors were probably at the point of being evenly matched.

Gulf quickly freed himself from his previous resentment: "Go for it, go for it! We have been training for a year, and as long as this winter is over, we will definitely be given tasks, and as long as we make more achievements, we will have a chance." I guess you can, you're brave, and you're strong!"
