Chapter 295: Simple Mission

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

The 14th emergency team led by Lugh had been at a complete disadvantage the moment they entered Bluestar city.

If the 14th emergency team really followed his orders and entered Blue Star City first, they would slowly investigate the connection between Scott and the Black Feather Organization.

If time dragged on, the members of the emergency team would definitely be targeted by the combined forces of the Black Feather Organization and Scott, and they would suffer heavy losses.

However, Lugh was so decisive. Within two hours of entering Blue Star City, he gathered the main forces of Blue Star City and seized Scott’s military power. Within half an hour, he found the true stronghold of the Black Feather Organization and completely eliminated the entire stronghold with a thunderous momentum.

That was why the losses of the 14th emergency team were reduced to the minimum.

Based on this point, Barnard could not blame Lugh.

Removing the important strongholds of the Black Feather Organization, killing the peak Platinum-level expert of the Bishop of the Beast God Cult, punishing the traitor Scott, capturing an important expert of the Black Feather Organization, as well as hundreds of research talents who were proficient in training pets… Seizing a large amount of research equipment, experimental reports, research results of the Black Feather Organization, discovering the intentions of the cooperation between the Black Feathers and the Beast God Cult…

These contributions were enough to alarm the higher-ups.

Scott could not become the Guardian of Blue Star City without Barnard’s support.

Barnard knew that as long as he reported these contributions from Lugh, the others would not embarrass him too much.

Lugh could also be considered to have helped him gain face.

Barnard thought for a moment and said, “Give Scott’s corpse to Adjutant Clive. Although he has done many wrong things, he should still be buried.”

“Yes.”

“Take some time to write a report. I will get the higher-ups to confirm the candidate for the Guardian of Blue Star City as soon as possible and withdraw Gary and the others.”

“Yes.”

Lugh gave Scott’s body to adjutant Clive and returned to his office. He spent half an hour to write a detailed report.

The format was ready-made, and it was enough to be put in. There was no need for any writing, and there was no obvious language problem.

The people in the military were all boorish, and they liked to read simple and straightforward things.

If it weren’t for Lucy not coming back, Lugh would have thrown it to her.

Regardless of whether it was his first time submitting an action report to Barnard, he was more or less a little nervous.

After reading Lugh’s action report, Barnard nodded. “Okay, you can go back and rest.”

“Yes.”

In the afternoon, Lucy came back.

Those experimental instruments were all put in the warehouse near the train station. They were also guarded by ten members of the emergency team, waiting for orders from the higher-ups.

Anyway, the task of the 14th emergency team was completed.

Lugh leaned lazily on the sofa and looked at Lucy, who was serving him tea, and asked, “Adjutant Lucy!”

“Major, what’s the matter?”

“Do you want to take a leave of absence?”

Lugh just remembered that ever since Lucy joined the Emergency Response Team, she seemed to have never left.

“I don’t want to.”

“Are you sure?”

Lucy replied expressionlessly, “I’m sure!”

“Well, that’s Good!” Lugh gasped and said, “Vice-Captain Gary isn’t here. If you want to take a leave of absence, you really can’t leave.”

Lucy’s glass of water paused and quickly returned to normal.

“I’ll have to trouble you with the matters in the team. I need to go home and rest for a few days.”

“Okay.”

Lugh instructed, “Right, take care of that Clark.”

“I will.”

Lugh ran to ask Barnard for a five-day leave.

Barnard readily agreed.

The 14th emergency team had just returned, and Lugh wanted to ask for leave to go home to rest. There was no reason for him not to agree.

Unless there was an urgent mission that required the emergency team to mobilize on a large scale.

“Right, Lugh!”

Just as Lugh was about to leave, Barnard stopped him again.

Lugh had a bad premonition.

“What’s the matter, Vice-Captain?”

“There is indeed a small mission that requires you to make a trip personally.” Barnard looked at Lugh with a smile. “It’s a very simple small mission.”

“May I know what kind of mission it is?”

“A publicity mission,” Barnard explained, “Skylight City has a total of five high schools that specialize in training Beast Masters. Every year, we’ll send some members of the Emergency Response Team to teach at these five high schools. Apart from teaching those new Beast Masters, we’ll also need to publicize our Southwest Military. After thinking about it, I’ve found that among the people left in the Emergency Response Team, sending you is the most suitable.”

Lecture?

Lugh’s first reaction was to refuse.

The difficulty of lecturing was too high.

It felt even more difficult than killing a Top Platinum-level expert.

“Vice-Captain, look, I just graduated from school not long ago.”

“That’s pretty good too. You’re not much different from them in terms of age. You can just mingle with them and have more common ground.” Barnard smiled and said, “It’s not like you’re really going to teach them any knowledge. You can even tell them stories and publicize our Southwest Military. You can show your strength and let those youths know that after joining the Southwest Military, they can become even stronger. Do you understand these things?”

Lugh naturally understood this point.

He wanted to publicize the glorious deeds of the Southwest Military Department and also train the recruits.

Even if these youths were still young, sooner or later, they would grow up.

The Southwest Military Department hoped that these youths would be given priority to enlist in the military after graduation.

This mission seemed simple, but it was actually very meaningful.

“How long will it take?”

“Five key primary schools. You only need to be in charge of five classes for the third grade of Skylight First Middle School. Each class may take half a day of your time.”

“What about time?”

Vice-Captain Barnard had already given the mission.

Lugh couldn’t refuse.

Although Lugh wasn’t quite used to this kind of mission, it wasn’t that he couldn’t accept it.

“I’ll ask Adjutant Clive to arrange it for you. It’ll be after your vacation. When the time comes, Lucy will take you there.”

“Alright.”

Lugh returned to the camp of the 14th emergency team. He simply told Lucy about the vacation and the mission of Vice-Captain Barnard. After asking Lucy to pay attention to it, he left.

When he returned home, Lugh found that his aunt, Hestia, wasn’t at home.

He asked the maid and found out that she had been dragged by her friends to go shopping.

Lugh inquired with the maid and found out that his mother’s friends were female neighbors who lived nearby.

In this way, his aunt had gradually adapted to the environment here.

Thinking of this, Lugh was still somewhat happy.

In the afternoon, Lugh heard Hestia’s voice. She was saying goodbye to her friends.

When Hestia pushed them away, she had a smile on her face and was holding two bags of ordinary fruits in her hands.

“Lugh, you’re back?”

“Yes, not long ago.” Lugh smiled and asked, “Auntie, did you go shopping?”

“Yes, they took me with them.”

“Yes.”

“They also asked me about you.” Hestia sat beside Lugh and spoke with a smile.

“What is it?”

“Do you have a sweetheart?”

Lugh immediately sat up from the bed. “Auntie, I’m still young.”

Hestia said with a smile, “It’s okay. I know. I can keep an eye out for you now.”

Keep an eye out?

He was not even seventeen yet.

Lugh laid down on the sofa.

“By the way, son, have you been doing well in the military recently?”

1

“Yes.”

Lugh nodded.

He didn’t tell his family about the promotion.

He had never told his family about the military or his experience in the field.

He just didn’t want them to worry.

Hestia whispered, “No wonder they have been asking me about you recently and are very enthusiastic about me.”

Hearing this, Lugh could not help but laugh.

Those who could live in the inner city of Skylight City were considered nobles of Skylight City. They all wanted to have a relationship with the Southwest Military Department.

They were well-informed and knew Lugh’s identity. He would definitely be promoted.

Thinking about it, he still said, “Aunt, I have been promoted recently and became a squad leader.”

Hestia said in surprise, “Squad leader?”

“Yes!”

Hestia asked in a low voice, “With the promotion, is it not so dangerous?”

Lugh hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. “It’s smaller.”

In the eyes of ordinary civilians, an officer was definitely safer than an ordinary soldier.

But the truth was that ordinary officers usually rushed in front of the team.

“That’s great.” Hestia stood up from the sofa with a face full of joy and rushed to the kitchen. “Let me cook today.”
