About an hour later, Leo and the others finally arrived at the Spartan republic’s capital on their eye-catching ride.
Though their luxurious fine-tuned car grabbed some attention, it was not much as this was a gathering of the rich and influential. There were countless other exotic cars here, so they didn’t grab as much attention as they expected.
After going through elaborate security checks to confirm their identities, they were finally allowed into the large hall where the rank promotion ceremony would be carried on.
Optimism and excitement filled the air, as the young lucky soldiers who got the opportunity to follow their mentors to the ceremony also arrived.
 
In a quiet narrow corridor that was illuminated by bright blue lights, 2 soldiers on the unique golden uniform of the Spartan army walked forward while discussing casually.“Arthur, I didn’t expect you to come, welcome. I know you came for an entirely different reason though, but forget about that”. Commander Rashford’s voice echoed across the small corridor.“How do you see the 2 main protagonists of today’s ceremony, General Oxford and Major Clark? I once heard that Clark was compared to you at some time, what do you think of him?”He turned his face a little to observe the expression on the face of his companion, after asking this. Commander Arthur’s expression did not change though, it was firmly stabilized in its poker form.He finally answered after contemplating for a second. “That Oxford, I have checked his records, his growth momentum is not fierce enough, he improves too slowly. I can bet tha
After 2 days of relentless celebration and much fanfare, the aftermath of the rank promotion ceremony finally subsided.Clark was dressed in his new military uniform, as he prepared to report to the Spartan army base for the first time. His friends also got dressed in their various clothes, before proceeding to lead him out of the hotel that they booked.For the past few days, they spent all their time going for a tour around the Spartan capital.Today was the day that Clark was scheduled to resume duty and to get his rewards from the inquiry hall, so he did not tarry.He quickly entered his car with his friends, before speeding across the road to the Spartan army base headquarters.20 minutes later, they arrived at the periphery gate of the enormous city-like headquarters. After confirming their identity, they were allowed to continue speeding inside.They drove for another 10 minutes before the exotic car finally stopped at the large compo
If not because that the mansion was smaller, it looked just like the U.S white house of the 21st century, though a more technologically packed one.The compound stretched for about 2 kilometers of land, making it seem like those depicted in sci-fi movies. It was completely colored in white, presenting it in a more beautiful and otherworldly light.The mighty fence stretched widely like a bowstring, covering the kilometers large land like the great ancient walls of China.The main mansion building stretched to the skies like the great castles propelled by the magic beans, in the epic Puss in boots cartoon movie of old. Clark was completely floored and mesmerized.“Am I the owner of this mansion?” He questioned his assistant again incredulously.Rose smiled, as with a command from her, the enormous energy-powered gate opened immediately.On entering, Clark felt like he just stepped into the beautiful environs of heaven. Bright shin
After Clark broke the training records for 2nd rank high-grade soldiers and displayed his strength in public, all the challengers who wanted to use him to take a fast climb to fame cowered back. He succeeded in using Corporal Davis as his stepping stone to cement his position in the army. Though the result of the duel drew a lot of attention, it did not affect the important things as the Spartan army continued operation like usual.To the big shots in the army, he was still just a sprouting sapling. They would pay more attention to him when he finally grew to the required level where he would be free as an eagle.He did not care about the opinion of others though, as he got the result that he wanted. He scared the hungry challengers away and got a sizable sum of 500,000 milit
Dozens of minutes after Clark took off with his entourage of soldiers, he finally arrived at the border territory of Vatican City.On arriving, he reduced the speed at which he traveled on the highway before navigating directly to the city hall, where the current diplomatic leaders of the city were waiting.After informing them some minutes ago that he was coming, they all quickly converged from wherever they were to the city hall.After another 2 minutes of driving without sidelining, he finally arrived at the large city hall.All the influential leaders of the city stood outside the hall like a group of students welcoming their principal with respectful expressions on their faces, as they welcomed their new superior.Clark did not go inside the hall to discuss with them. He just exchanged greetings with the leaders, thanked them for finding time to come out and welcome him, before apologizing as he had to go.After leaving his soldiers to
In a brightly lit and well-furnished sitting room, Emily sat on one of the chairs, discussing leisurely with her friend. Today, she got dressed again in her red and black adventure-like outfit.Not long after, they ended their discussion before going out together. This time, Clark got dressed in a combat vest also, with a pair of black designers unaffiliated military trousers to complement it.After entering the car, they quickly drove out in the direction of the weapons specialist’s town.In this part of the Landmark kingdom, the weapons specialist’s town is a town that was established only for those selling and dealing in machinery-related jobs and occupations. It was a haven for machines.It was where most of the people specializing in anything related to machines and technology are found.This was where Monkey hands recommended Clark to go, to get his mask scanned to know its exact value.As the town was not far from the loca
After getting out of the territory of the weapons specialist’s town, Clark took a sharp turn, driving to the outskirts of the town. As the town was close to the Landmark border, they were essentially going to the outskirts of the country.During their discussions back in the day, they settled on taking the simplest and most practical mission. As its location was also the closest to the Landmark kingdom, they readily settled on it.As it was a level 1 mission, it was not too difficult. For the current them, the mission was simply beans. But they still had to be cautious, as not everything was as they eye saw, complications could arise at any point.The target of the mission was a pirate soldier. Scarface was the name he was known as. He was only a 1st rank high-grade soldier, so they did not feel any pressure on taking it.The only thing that could develop to become a problem, was that the man developed a small pirate organization that already had ab
After packing up their stuff and equipment, the group of mercenaries finally embarked on their journey to the deeper parts of the forest.None of them came with cars or any other traveling companion, so they all trudged deeper into the forest by foot. The journey was completely silent, as Clark and Emily trailed behind them with the poker expressions still on their faces.The mercenary who originally seemed like the strongest finally brought out a device to check the direction that they were going at, after confirming that the frightening female mercenary was not still pissed from what happened earlier.After checking the special mercenary tracking device, he quickly found what he wanted. He opened his mouth to speak but was swift to stop himself, he secretly scolded himself for being careless before he turned to look at Emily.His look was self-explanatory, it was the permission-asking look. Please, can I speak?After getting a stiff nod from her,
