Chapter 6: Roaring Staff Sergeant!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The noisy barracks did not scare Rayen. On the contrary, he was very calm. He looked around curiously and used his unique ability to look at the various vehicles and weapons on the soldiers.

The soldiers here were strong, well-equipped, and the vehicles were well maintained.

All in all, the Vulture Corps gave him the feeling of an elite in the army.

He did not know how much stronger they were compared to the Miscellaneous Corps that his father had been in.

Ten minutes later, under the guidance of the sentry, Rayen came to an empty space in the camp.

The facilities here were completely different from the other camps.

The square playground was surrounded by a few factory-like buildings and in the center of the field stood a group of misfits.

These guys wore different clothes, and their nervous expressions showed that they were the same as Rayen who was also a recruit.

In front of them stood two men who looked like officers. One of them, a bearded man, saw Rayen and shouted, “What are you standing there for? Get over here!”

The sentry tapped his military cap and turned around to leave. He whispered to Rayen, “Good luck, buddy. Staff Sergeant Steven has always had a bad temper.”

Rayen quickly walked to the left side of the team and stood there. The bearded man counted the number of people with his eyes and shouted again with his loud voice, “Attention!”

Everyone tried their best to stand in a neat and orderly manner.

At this time, another person who looked like an officer opened his mouth, “Let me introduce myself! I am Major Li Qiang! I am the Battalion Commander of the Foundry Battalion under the Vulture Corps! I am also your immediate superior! Welcome to the large group of 50,000 people called Vulture!

“This place will become your family, your restaurant, your cinema, and your military court!

“From today onwards, you will no longer be hooligans, merchants, swindlers, and peddlers, but vultures! Vultures who yearn for dead bodies! Our corps has never needed any kindness, only the ferocity of the enemy! They will eventually die because of us!

“Our Foundry Battalion is responsible for the production of death. We must provide an endless supply of equipment for the empire’s vultures to tear the enemy apart! When necessary, we will also go to the battlefield!

“Am I clear enough?!”

“Yes…” Rayen and the recruits’ voices were weak, and their drawl sounded like endless sheep dung.

In Rayen’s opinion, this Battalion Commander named Li Qiang did not look like a soldier. His refined temperament, appearance, and outstanding eloquence actually had the flair of a politician.

That bearded Steven seemed to be very dissatisfied with the volume of Rayen and the others’ voices. He roared, “Louder! You b*tches! !”

“Understood!” This time, the voices of Rayen and the others were still not unified, but the volume was loud enough.

At this time, Battalion Commander Major Li Qiang nodded and spoke again, “The one beside me now is Staff Sergeant Steven. He will be in charge of leading you through the three months of new recruit training period! After that, you will be promoted to an official team!”

The others looked at each other, not knowing what to say, so they simply kept quiet.

However, this silence made Battalion Commander Major Li Qiang very dissatisfied. This time, his voice was clearly louder. “Are you all mute? Don’t you know how to speak?!”

“Yes!” Everyone tried their best to raise their voices again.

Following that, Li Qiang sized up the group of recruits a few more times. Then, he gave a few instructions to the bearded Steve and left.

This was definitely not a good sign for the recruits, because this bearded man looked very difficult to get along with.

Sure enough, Major Li Qiang had only walked a short distance when the bearded man roared, “I am Staff Sergeant Steven of the Foundry Camp, your squad leader! When you speak to me, you must first salute and say, ‘Sir’! You must salute all the people who are higher in rank than you, and call them ‘Sir’.”

Then, he drew air out of the whip in his hand, to show that what he said just now was not a joke.

“We don’t have officers here who would waste time teaching trash. So, I’ll train you… who sneezed just now?”

Rayen did not do so, but no one in the team replied, which made Steven ask again, “I asked who sneezed?!”

“I…” A recruit’s voice answered in the team.

“I what?” Steven slowly walked toward the recruit with a threatening aura.

In his nervousness, the recruit shouted, “I… I sneezed just now…” He immediately realized that his answer was wrong and said loudly again, “I sneezed, sir!

“I feel cold, sir.”

“Oh!” Steven stood in front of the recruit and asked, “Your name?”

“My name is Eli… sir.”

“Eli? Why does it sound like a girl’s name?” Steven’s words made the recruits laugh.

Steven continued, “Little girl, since you feel cold, I have to think of a way for you!” Then he raised his finger and pointed at a warehouse not far away. “See that armory over there?”

Rayen looked over there. Apart from the empty space, there was nothing else. There was only a lonely building at the end of the sky.

“Go! Bring a piece of dark steel over here in half an hour! I’ll time you! If you’re a second late, I guarantee you’ll be standing here in the wind until tomorrow morning!”

“Yes, sir!” The recruit named Eli received his first mission in the military before he could put on his uniform.

He ran toward the target building in the distance with a frustrated expression.

Steven’s order made the hearts of all the recruits, including Rayen, begin to tremble.

As the most common weapon material on the planet, dark steel was very heavy.

Any ten-year-old child knew that a piece of window-sized dark steel weighed at least 200 pounds!

Such a long distance was enough to torture an adult..
