He was the one who acted decisively to achieve such a result. If he hesitated for even a moment, the brazier could have burned the list to ashes.
“Yes, Sir…”
The fat commander nodded, his gaze sharpening.
“Next, we will arrest these damned demon’s minions one by one!”
That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His Majesty the King now hated those evil creatures to the extreme!
At this moment, he could already see the door of promotion open to him.
“Sir,” Richard hurriedly said.
“Sir, those demon’s minions are likely to be in contact with each other. If we go one by one, it might leak the information…
“At that time, it is very likely that there will be a situation where we gain quite a lot in the beginning and then miss everything in the end.”
These words shocked the fat commander.
“Then what you mean is…”
“Deploy the army and capture everyone at once! That way, we can minimize the possibility of news leaking out.
“And we have to act as soon as possible… They had already destroyed this place. The other demons will realize that something’s wrong at any time and move on.
“If we miss, this mission will be greatly reduced!”
If he would waste such a rare opportunity, he could jump up and slap himself in the face.
The fat commander gritted his teeth and said, “First, confirm the situation of the demons. Then report the news here to the superiors. Gather the army, and eradicate the evil in one fell swoop!!”
He did not have the authority to command the army to wipe out dozens of demons at the same time…
After he tasted the sweetness and saw the opportunity for coveted promotion, the fat commander was already in a state of excitement. No one could stop him!!
Not long after, the fat commander scouted seven or eight regions and found something was wrong. He confirmed the accuracy of the list of names he had rescued from the brazier…
Then, an army arrived.
The residents in several regions saw the Templar City’s army searching for the demons.
When Richard saw the army move also, he silently crushed the crystal in his hand.
This plan could not be said to be complicated, but the thing was that at this time, both the Covenant of Evil and the Oath of Light camps were in a tense state.
Even the slightest mistake would cause great alarm.
He had just started, and the Templar City’s army took the initiative to clean up the rest.
The most crucial point was that Richard also wanted to avoid the scene of Knowles fighting with the demons…
If the mission went according to plan, the level-19 dwarf, Knowles, would drive the level-20 extraordinary hunter to get rid of the demons’ minions one by one. He would surely encounter fierce battles.
By the time he finally rescued the Vice President of the Scarlet Council, the other party would have already gathered their strength.
The final battle would probably be exceedingly strenuous.
In a collision of this level, it would be too difficult for him to ensure his safety.
It would be like trying to retrieve the holy dragon’s blood, with only a slim chance of survival.
His Regeneration skill had yet to recover, and since he was in Templar City, it would be suicidal for him to use it on the sandy ground.
Now, this plan not only allowed him to bypass the most intense main battlefield, but also ensured his safety.
It also directly eliminated all of the demons’ subordinates and weakened the Vice President of the Scarlet Council.
This made the rescue operation of the dwarf Knowles even smoother.
Killing three birds with one stone…
After the encirclement began, blood about promotion already filled the fat commander’s head.
He wished that every devil stronghold would personally lead an army to encircle and annihilate them.
Richard was arranged to enter the garrison of the guards. He was also happy to be idle, quietly eating melons at the back while he waited for the dwarf to rescue Ferguson…
The battle to suppress the demons ended very quickly.
Under absolute power, the dozens of Scarlet Council members who colluded with the demons had no room to resist and were directly eliminated.
However, the cleaning of the battlefield was not completed until dusk.
As the fat commander had said, a few high-ranking officers came to ask him about the demons.
With the super strong disguise spell, he naturally did not cower. He repeated his original story.
The other party cast a few screening spells on him. After confirming that there was no problem, he took a drop of blood from his body and left.
Richard waited until late at night before he saw the fat commander return.
After the fat commander entered his temporary settlement, his expression was exceedingly ugly.
He was not excited at all.
“Draco, I’ve been promoted. I’m now a level five commander. I can command a thousand-man army!”
Richard was puzzled. “Why can’t I see the joy on your face? Did something happen?”
“The third princess has disappeared…”
The fat commander said fiercely.
“Those damn bastards, they blamed the reason for the third princess’ disappearance on our city guards. They told me to find the princess within a day!”
Richard was stunned. What the hell… What Third Princess and Eighth Princess? He was not interested in these things.
He stood up and prepared to find an excuse to leave. The dwarf should have succeeded by now.
But before he could finish his words, the other party took a medal out of his pocket and handed it to him.
“This is the credit I asked for you. You are now a level one commander and can command a team of ten people.
“It’s not easy for an ordinary person to join the army, let alone become an officer.
“But under my great protection, I made an exception and promoted you to a level one commander.”
After the fat commander said that, he looked at Richard proudly.
“How about it? I’ll keep my word! Following a superior like me won’t mistreat you!
“Take the medal. This is your proof of identity. The drop of your blood today was used to bind it. This is a magic item. Remember not to lose it… Otherwise, you’ll be punished by the military regulations!”
After Richard took the medal, he was stunned.
“Sir, I…didn’t say I wanted to join the army, right?”
What was going on here?
The dragon crystal for the A-rank mission was still waiting for him to collect it. Moreover, he had to think of a way to get that dwarf’s level 20 mechanical puppet. Who would want to be a level one commander in this terrible place?
Moreover, he had worked so hard to save Ferguson this time. Wouldn’t that guy be rewarded with three to five kilograms of holy dragon’s blood?
The fat commander laughed loudly.
“This is not up to you. His Majesty the King has already issued a draft order. As long as there are capable residents, they must join the army. We must fight against the evil pact!”
‘F*ck! why was this scenario different from what I had thought.’
The corner of Richard’s mouth twitched.
At this moment, the system notification suddenly rang.
[Ding~ You have been appointed as level one commander of the Templar City Guards. You have received a level one medal.]
[Military Medal]
[Level: 1]
[Characteristics: Increases the wearer’s strength by 10%.]
[Description: An item the Templar City army used to prove their identity.]
Richard was stunned for a moment. There were still attributes??
However, the system notification was not over yet. It continued to ring.
[Ding~ Qingqiu has become the level one commander of the Templar City. The ranking board has been opened. The Lord of the Templar City can join the army on his initiative and obtain military merits. Military merits can be exchanged for unique rewards in the army. Please explore the specific situation on your own…]
[Ding~ You have achieved a special achievement — First Officer. You have obtained 1 gold point.]
[Gold Point: You can exchange for rare rewards after the time fragment ends.]
Richard’s expression was quite interesting at this moment.
‘Could this also work?’
He just wanted to avoid a direct battle between the dwarf and the Vice-president of the Scarlet Council and kill someone by using someone else as an excuse… How did he end up in the Templar City Empire’s army?
However, this golden point seemed to be a rare item.
The players in the dungeon did not know the secret behind it. When they saw the system notification, they immediately started discussing enthusiastically.
The players from the Oath of Light camp immediately became fragrant.
“Mighty Boss Qingqiu…”
“Another way to make money, awesome…”
“I didn’t expect Big Brother Qingqiu to be on the same side as us!”
“Hahaha, is this the benefit of being on our side? The things in the army are obviously of high quality…”
The discussions continued…
The people from the Covenant of Evil camp were instantly displeased when they saw that the other party didn’t have any of them.
“Qingqiu hasn’t been kicked out yet? Is there any justice in this world? Why does this pervert keep coming out to break the rules…”
“Military merit ranking? Why isn’t there an evil pact? ? It’s not fair, I want to protest! !”
“Qingqiu, why is it Qingqiu again… It wasn’t easy for him to calm down for a few days, but in the blink of an eye, he’s shaking again.”
The player continued to vex.
The players’ attitude toward Richard was quite complicated. They were both impressed and unwilling.
His points hadn’t been moved in the past two days. But even so, second place in the ranking was still 40,000 points away from him.
The other party had worked hard for three days and still had not broken through 100,000 points.
On the other hand, Richard’s points had only been hacked down in more than an hour on the first day.
Such a comparison almost suffocated everyone.
The two words “Qingqiu” were like a vast mountain that crushed down everyone’s heads.
They felt what they could see was not the sky but Qingqiu…
That guy made everyone look down.
