Chapter 77 Establishing Prestige (Revised and Re-released)

  Tonight, collective refinement is required, friends in need leave a message for book review.

  Then, Liú Yún gladly accepted Lóng Yún's invitation and went with him into the second floor room. The current and former squad leaders both showed their style, indicating that they wanted to negotiate alone about the unpleasant events of tonight in a friendly manner.

  The long sword on the neck of Huanren also left, and the female swordsman Aliya even chatted with him intimately, making Huanren fully feel the changeable nature of women. The injured soldier was also taken care of by the Water Spirit team's meticulous care. Ah Xiu took two team members to find that master urinator "to chat".

  A loud noise came from upstairs, the two team leaders seemed to be discussing very enthusiastically, and the ceiling was moved to drop a layer of dust.

  "This negotiation is intense! It seems like the result will be out soon." Old Ka sighed.

  "It's so frustrating when you can't get a good view." Little Ka also started complaining.

  "I think, Na Lan definitely had the upper hand in the negotiations." Nalan Duo still blindly trusted Liu Yun.

  "Fight!" The usually silent Ji Feng suddenly blurted out three words, instantly drawing a round of scornful glances from everyone. Charges such as disrupting the stability and unity within the Third Squad, tarnishing the glorious image of the leadership, making improper remarks to shake military morale, etc., were immediately piled onto his head, forcing Ji Feng to choose painful silence.

  When the cloud and dragon clouds supported each other, they appeared at the stairs with a gloomy face. People found that the new team leader had two big packages on his forehead, while the old team leader's eyes were black.

  "Damn it, you're just a stubborn cow!" Liu Yun looked at Long Yun with disdain.

  "Grandma's, you're just a wild wolf!" Long Yun rolled his eyes and exchanged a glance with Liu Yun, sparking another flash of fire.

  In the army, when officers from the same unit have conflicts with each other, they often choose a very masculine way to solve the problem: closing the door and having a one-on-one fight. Hiding and dodging is not what soldiers do, after the fight is over, the anger will also be gone. After all, in the future days, once on the battlefield, everyone will be comrades-in-arms who depend on each other for life and death. As for why they all choose to close the door, it's naturally because they can't let their subordinates see them, which would not only damage their own image but also corrupt the younger soldiers.

  This frame was later known by insiders as "fighting out unity, fighting out hope, and fighting out the future of Sanlian".

  But Lao Ka sneered and said, "This is the beginning of two rascals falling in love at first sight and from then on colluding with each other. Two clouds rose in the sky of the Third Regiment, and the poor officers and soldiers would never see the sun again."

  At this time, Long Yun was not in a good mood. Originally wanted to single-handedly find back some face, did not think that in the end it was himself who suffered a defeat. Liu Yun's moves were strange and unpredictable, causing him to be busy for a while, but later he finally gained the upper hand. However, Liu Yun suddenly used a perverted sword move, launching an endless attack like flowing water, leaving him exhausted and falling to the ground, where he was beaten by Liu Yun. In the end, they also signed an unequal treaty: Liu Yun promised to keep tonight's events confidential. As a condition of exchange, he had to hand over three battalion command rights, contentedly serving as deputy battalion commander, assisting Liu Yun in rectifying the entire battalion. Whenever any troublemakers appeared, he would be responsible for handling them.

  Liuyun had originally planned to meet with the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment on the second day, but an incident that occurred in the latter half of the night caused him to postpone his appointment by three days.

  ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

  On the third day, in the early morning, the officers and soldiers of the three regiments gathered on the drill ground. The terrified expressions of the military officers directly affected the soldiers behind them. Everyone vaguely knew that something unusual would happen this morning. In the team, a buzzing discussion sounded.

  "Run - go!"

  Under Nalan's lead, the Black Hawk Squad members wore black armor uniforms and ran into the training grounds in two columns.

  The eyes of the three troops were instantly attracted by these uninvited guests. The 200-man team, from arm swings to footsteps, every move was neat and tidy, as if they were all carved out of the same mold. Each young face was so firm and calm; each pair of eyes was full of confidence and hope; each body had the power and wildness of a cheetah; every person exuded the temperament of a seasoned soldier.

  "Halt!" With Nardole's loud command, the advancing Black Hawk Guard suddenly stopped, just as the vanguard arrived at the reviewing stand.

  "Turn left!"

  The team members turned around in unison, facing the officers and soldiers of the third battalion, their eyes fixed on the front. There was no extra movement, no extra sound, everything flowed naturally like a cloud flowing smoothly.

  "Team leader is here!"

  Liú Yún walked into the parade ground accompanied by Lóng Yún, slowly making his way to the reviewing stand. Lóng Yún naturally fell half a step behind him, showing the difference between the main and secondary roles.

  "Hail!"

  Naruto's command echoed again, and the two hundred people grasped their knives, drew them out, raised them, and the long knives cut through the air in a beautiful half-circle before returning to their chests. Turning around, the eyes of the two hundred people focused on Liú Yún, and moved with his footsteps. The precise, unified, and neat movements brought a strong visual impact to the three troops, accompanied by a bright rhythm. A solemn and majestic atmosphere suddenly rose on the drill ground along with the two hundred drawn long knives.

  Liuyun smiled as he walked past the team members, very satisfied with the scene in front of him. With a majestic demeanor, what could be more perfect than an excellent honor guard?

  "Bow!"

  After Liú Yún took the stage, the Black Eagles quickly assembled into a square formation and entered the sequence of three teams.

  This scene shocked the old soldiers of the Third Battalion, who could already see from the aura of the Black Hawks that this was a truly elite unit. This scene also made the new recruits of the Third Battalion envious, because compared to the Black Hawks, they felt that they didn't even qualify as soldiers. The appearance of the Black Hawks brought an eerie silence to the drill ground.

  Standing beside Liu Yun, Long Yun opened the appointment order of the Imperial Military Affairs Department.

  "Imperial Military Affairs Department Order No. 57351: Appoint Viscount Liú Yún Kǎi Dé as the Commander of the Third Battalion, Third Regiment, Fifth Imperial Army Corps. Imperial Calendar 753, January 25th. Below, please give a speech by the newly appointed commander!"

  Liú Yún walked up to the front of the stage, smiled at the officials and soldiers below, nodded slightly, and then said:

  "Soldiers, over two hundred years ago, a general of the Kayd family created an extraordinary army that turned the tide in a time of imperial crisis and achieved great military merit. Two hundred years later, as a member of the Kayd family, I am honored to return to this unit once again."

  Then, Liú Yún briefly reviewed the history and achievements of the three regiments. These words made every officer and soldier feel a strong sense of honor in their hearts: We are members of the heroic troops!

  "Everyone knows that the first batch of soldiers in the Third Regiment were all prisoners on death row and those serving life sentences. In the early battles after the founding of the Third Regiment, out of 30,000 soldiers, only 3,000 survived the flames of war. They used to be the empire's convicts, but they have washed away their crimes with their lives and blood, leaving glory to the Third Regiment."

  Looking at the officials and soldiers who were listening attentively, Liuyun suddenly turned around and said: "However, what I saw in the three regiments today made me deeply disappointed! I had heard that the soldiers of the third regiment were not afraid to die on the battlefield. Now I know that before you go into battle, you rely on drinking, gambling, and playing with women to numb yourselves, so you're not afraid to die! In terms of morale, you are a group of cowards!"

  After hearing Liu Yun's words, Long Yun's face turned blue and purple, and a wave of anger surged up in his heart.

  "Grandma's, you have an opinion, but do you need to slap me in the face like this?"

  The officers and soldiers of the three troops also made a loud noise.

  "Don't think I'm belittling you, you're not even worthy of being called real warriors! Today, I'll let you see what a true soldier looks like!"
