Reward, Brother Platoon Leader!

"In recent days, I and the other generals have received news of Sword-toothed Country spies infiltrating our military camps."

Guan Shan's expression was stern as he said coldly, "Those who are not present today are basically confirmed to have colluded with the enemy and committed treason!"

"Their families will also be implicated because of this!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts!

The punishment for traitors was the same in all countries.

One person betrays the country, and all their relatives are implicated!

Although it wouldn't lead to the extermination of the entire clan, as long as the evidence was conclusive, the traitor's family would have no peace.

There was no use for any pleas for mercy from the traitor.

Only in this way could the number of betrayals be minimized to the greatest extent!

Forces like the Gu Family of Wushan City were not uncommon in the entire Running Wolf Nation.

If Gu Chen colluded with the enemy and committed treason, the Gu Family as a clan would cease to exist.

After all personnel were dispersed and sent to labor service across the country, it would already be considered a lenient punishment!

This level of punishment was enough to make anyone who was tempted have doubts.

But in the end, there were still people with weak convictions, or those who harbored a fluke mentality, who chose to betray.

The military would not show any mercy when dealing with such people.

"I hope none of you will become scum like Lei Chao and collude with the enemy and commit treason!"

When Guan Shan's words fell, those who had previously thought that Lei Chao had accepted benefits from Gu Chen and therefore let Gu Chen return alive were all dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, I didn't expect that guy Lei Chao, with his honest face, to be a spy?"

"No wonder when that guy came to the Warrior Camp to cause trouble that day, he still wanted to spare Gu Chen's life. Now that I think about it, he probably valued Gu Chen's talent and wanted to drag Gu Chen down with him!"

"Fortunately, the generals discovered the problem with Lei Chao and the others in advance, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would have occurred!"

After the murmuring gradually subsided, Guan Shan slowly said, "Gu Chen and Gu Han, the brothers, made great contributions in successfully apprehending the spies this time."

"After unanimous approval from myself and the other generals, Gu Chen is hereby promoted to Platoon Leader of the warriors and granted rank one!"

"Gu Han is appointed Platoon Leader of the logistics soldiers and granted rank one!"

"And they are bestowed armor and swords!"

"Although both are conscript soldiers, their treatment is equivalent to that of officers!"

As Guan Shan's voice fell, two quartermasters stepped forward, holding a set of armor and the sword symbolizing a platoon leader.

Conscript soldiers did not have a formal military position.

But because of their great contributions, Guan Shan bestowed these extra rewards upon them!

In the crowd, Li Qiang saw Gu Han still standing there blankly and not moving, so he nudged him impatiently, "What are you still standing there for? Aren't you going up to receive your reward and express your gratitude?"

This was a treatment that others could only dream of!

Gu Chen and Gu Han had no prior psychological preparation and could only step forward and accept the armor and sword with both hands, following the rules as they imagined them.

The hundreds of warriors and logistics soldiers around were stunned as if struck by lightning.

"These spies were actually caught by Gu Chen and Gu Han?"

"Is this f*cking luck too good? A blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse?"

"Damn it, why don't I have such good luck?"

Almost everyone felt that this was just Gu Chen and Gu Han getting lucky.

Although these two were a bit stronger than them, their strength was limited.

How could they possibly catch a spy like Lei Chao?

It was just good luck!

Such luck was rare and unpredictable, and the Gu brothers must have used up all their luck for this period!

But no matter how jealous they were, the positions of Platoon Leader for the two were set in stone.

According to the military regulations of the Running Wolf Nation, during their conscript service, unless they made great contributions, they would not be granted officer positions.

Most conscript soldiers remained mere privates until their departure.

Now, in just half a month, the Gu Chen and Gu Han brothers had become Platoon Leaders.

This had surpassed the vast majority of people!

"The imperial court's political situation is unstable now, and the Sword-toothed Country is coveting Mushan City."

Guan Shan offered a few more words of encouragement, "I hope you will all continue to cultivate diligently and prepare for the war that may break out at any time."

There was one more thing Guan Shan didn't say out loud.

That was, without becoming a true Martial Artist, they would only be cannon fodder on the battlefield!

After speaking, Guan Shan turned and left, leaving Deng Li and the other instructors to continue the drills.

Gu Han and the other logistics soldiers returned to their respective camps.

Ma Tie and a few others clustered around Gu Han, unable to hide the envy in their eyes.

"Old Gu, you're really amazing now!"

"If I could become a Platoon Leader, wouldn't the folks in my hometown for miles around be green with envy?"

"That's something that would bring honor to the family. After going home, the county office might even arrange a job for me!"

Unlike Earth before Gu Han's transmigration, where serving two years as a conscript soldier could even earn you money.

Here, not dying on the border was already a stroke of luck.

In just the past half month, seven logistics soldiers had already gotten lost in the mountains and forests.

Since no bodies were found, no one knew whether they were killed by demonic beasts, by people, or if they were truly lost.

But for most people, being able to return alive was good enough.

To be able to become an officer and have a job arranged upon returning home was absolutely something they would only dare to dream of.

"As long as you work hard, you all have the chance to become Platoon Leaders."

Gu Han smiled, not considering the position of Platoon Leader to be particularly high honor.

However, he understood that this was due to differences in background and perspective.

His predecessor was, after all, a collateral descendant of the Gu Family. Although his background wasn't high, it was still much better than that of ordinary people.

Ma Tie and the others smiled, knowing that Gu Han was just comforting them.

The group walked very quickly and soon returned to the camp.

Gu Han, as usual, headed straight out of the camp to hunt demonic beasts.

He was busy helping Little Wolf improve its bloodline and had to venture deep into the wilderness to hunt stronger demonic beasts whenever possible.

For this reason, he specifically informed Ma Tie and the others that he might not return to rest for the next few days.

Ma Tie and the others believed that with Gu Han's strength, as long as he wasn't reckless, he wouldn't encounter danger, so they agreed to conceal his departure from the camp for him.

Shortly after Gu Han left, the warriors quickly split into several teams.

Led by the instructors, they advanced majestically into the wilderness.

"For this wilderness trial assessment, I must get into the top ten!"

Many warriors secretly resolved in their hearts.

After half a month of normal training, only two weeks remained until the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition.

To quickly improve the new recruits' combat experience, the instructors discussed and decided to open up a wilderness training ground.

The sparring between warriors always held back.

Only when facing demonic beasts where they had to fight for their lives, in moments of life-or-death crisis, could their potential be unleashed!

As for danger?

Those who feared danger could stay in the camp and train on their own.

The instructors did not impose any mandatory measures regarding this.

But no warrior was willing to admit that they were timid and afraid of trouble.

Everyone chose to come to the wilderness and face one-star fourth-order or even one-star fifth-order demonic beasts.
