Crisis of Blood Shadow 106
Underestimating the cohesive power of Blood and Fire Battlefield on people's hearts, the initial 750 Black Horse soldiers have been tempered into a solid entity after this battle. This shoulder-to-shoulder dependable feeling is really touching. Once experienced, it will be remembered for a lifetime.
In this 24-hour battle, Lelouch relied on his title as the Leftenant Baron to gather more than 700 scattered soldiers. Together with other small groups of Black Knights and soldiers from other camps, the number of Black Knights under Lelouch's command has now exceeded 1600, which is already a standard brigade configuration.
What Lelouch said to Kallen was quite reasonable, because before that, many other students from the academy led by Suzaku had revealed their intention to formally join the Black Knights to Lelouch, which made him a bit embarrassed.
The army is actually a place that attaches great importance to factions, and it's absolutely taboo to dig up soldiers from other academies so openly. However, Leilock couldn't bear to part with this group of brothers, so he had no choice but to come and try his luck.
He says he wants to give the governor and lieutenant general a show, but his real intention is still to test the unpredictable bottom line. If the unpredictable can really lead everyone to make a big fuss, then it means that the unpredictable has the heart to preserve this group.
If Wu Chang gave up arguing and let others take credit for his achievements, it means that Wu Chang's ambition is not that great. Since the leader doesn't want to make a fuss anymore, then the lower-ranking people can only accept their fate.
Wu Chang didn't catch the underlying meaning of Lelouch's words at first, but later when Lelouch reported to Wu Chang about the actual strength of the Black Knights, he finally got the drift.
This kid is really something, he's taken in so many defeated soldiers on his own, now nearly half of the Black Horse Camp's forces are under his control. And with 1600 people, it's a solid regimental configuration. This kid has set his sights on the deputy commander position!
"Stop this nonsense! We are the Black Horse Regiment of the Empire, heroes who have quelled rebellions. How can we cause trouble? Everything must follow military orders. From now on, you all need to cooperate with the security team's work and gradually transfer the task of maintaining stability to them..."
"Lu Li turned back and said, 'Let's clean up our Black Horse barracks, after the task handover is completed, we still need to go back and live there...'"
At this time, Relok suddenly asked "What about the soldiers from other academies? Where did they go?"
"Of course, they'll be returning to their own academy..." Just as Lelouch's expression turned gloomy, Nunnally added another sentence "If they want to come to the Black Knights' base, let them write their own application. As for whether the military department approves or not, that's not something I can decide..."
"Ugh... My legs hurt so badly, just stop bothering me with these things..."
Lei Luo listened to Wu Chang's unconvincing promise and sighed inwardly, feeling that it was all he could do. He gave a military salute and left to arrange his work.
The medical level of the Red Sand Hospital is the highest in the entire planet. When they saw Major Nokku, the special commissioner, come to the hospital for treatment, from the dean to the surgical elites all gathered around. On one hand, they revered the commissioner's power, and on the other hand, they were truly grateful to Nokku for saving Red Sand from danger. They treated Nokku with increasing care.
It's just a fracture, a very common trauma disease, but the hospital came up with a full-body examination, even including urology projects, which made me cry and laugh at the same time.
Unfortunately, being under the short eaves, Wu Chang, this immobile wounded man, could only be arranged by the doctor. When Wu Chang finally lay in bed and listened to Merlin's report, three hours had passed.
He gently touched the alloy steel ring on his thigh, feeling the coolness of the medicine inside. He was deeply moved by the medical technology in this world. A comminuted fracture, and yet they dared to guarantee that he could walk within 4 hours. If this level of medical care were brought back to Earth, it would be a game-changer.
Just as he was thinking of home, a voice suddenly came from beside him, "Boss? Are you still listening?" The sentence startled the absent-minded Wu Chang.
"Hehe, sorry about that, I was a bit distracted. Please continue." Wu Chang smiled slightly at Meilin.
"Yes, according to your instructions, I and Qian Yun led over a hundred people, and we successively raided the secret warehouses of fifteen gangs. The total value of the seized property, converted into gold coins... is... 20 million gold coins..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire ward was in a low murmur, and everyone was stunned by this number. When did these poor kids ever see so much money? 200,000 Rainbow Coins! A fast-attack warship wouldn't even cost that much, when did the boss give the order?!
Luli and Mary didn't know about the arrangement before, which actually happened after the battle at the Left Bank Building. When all the teams went out to fight, Wú Cháng gave Méilín and Qián Huī a top-secret map that had the locations of more than ten secret warehouses of various gangs.
This map wasn't provided by the Noble Alliance, it was given to Wu Chang by Meng Huo through Tian Meng. This old brother is really generous, giving such a big cake to Wu Chang.
"Not enough, absolutely not enough. You've only robbed twelve houses, I remember there are more than thirty warehouses on the map. Keep robbing, now is the time to die of bravery or starve from cowardice..."
"What? You're still going on?! " Even Cold-Faced Mei Lin's expression changed at this.
Looking at Wu Chang's firm gaze, Mei Lin stopped talking and turned to leave with Qian Yun, it seemed that another gang was going to be in trouble.
Just then, the ward doors were suddenly kicked open and a black-clad soldier panted out "It's bad, the security team has arrived, they want to arrest Blood Shadow and say they will execute Blood Shadow..."
Wu Chang suddenly sat up in bed and almost jumped out "Where's the wheelchair? Hurry up and push it over, dare to kill my lifesaver, I'll kill him..."
A group of Black Horse Camp soldiers, pushing an unstable wheelchair, rushed to the dermatology clinic on the first floor. As they turned a corner and saw the door to the clinic, they found that the Black Horse soldiers had already clashed with the security guards, fortunately without fighting.
"My god, who dares to go in? Without our commissioner's order, no one should even think about going in..."
"Are you crazy? That's a bio-person, a humanoid weapon banned by the Empire's law. You're secretly hiding forbidden weapons, are you planning to rebel?"
"What kind of soldier are you? Not only is he a good person, but also the benefactor who saved our commissioner. You dare to move your hands, I'll dare to kill you..."
At this time, the Black Horse Camp had just retreated from the battlefield, and the killing intent on their bodies hadn't dissipated yet. The guards didn't dare to be rough with these killing gods. The two groups confronted each other, pointing fingers at each other's noses and cursing loudly.
The leading guard's nose was twisted in anger. "Can't you see reason? How can a bio-person be considered human? They're stitched together from different people's corpses, humanoid weapons that are prohibited by imperial law. Is it necessary for you to protect this inhuman monster?"
The security guard was about to persuade him when he suddenly heard a loud shout from behind "Get out of the way..." The wheelchair finally came over.
"What the hell is humanity? What is humanity? Although Blood Shadow is a bio-chemical person, he followed me to quell the riot, and the thugs he killed were no less than anyone else. In my eyes, he has more humanity than you..."
The security guard who had been scolding Wú Cháng didn't even dare to fart, his face red with anger as he gave a salute "Director... we're just following orders, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you... yes, the law is like this, there's nothing I can do..."
At this moment, the terminal of the squad leader suddenly lit up, and the figure of Lieutenant General Ye Wenshuai appeared on the screen.
"Trash, what's wrong with you? It's been half a day and still no response. Can't even handle such a simple task?" Just as Ye Wenshuai was scolding him, Wu Chang suddenly snatched the terminal from him and placed it in front of himself.
Wu Chang was very polite, he first gave a salute to the lieutenant general, and then asked "Lieutenant General, may I ask why you want to arrest my subordinate? Xue Ying is a meritorious general who helped me pacify the rebellion. You didn't even reward him, so why do you want to execute him..."
Before Wu Chang could finish speaking, Ye Wenshuai was already furious, pointing at Wu Chang's nose and scolding: "What is your identity? How dare you be arrogant in front of me! Where did your commissioner identity come from? I will personally go investigate. Now I ask you, what makes you say you are a lieutenant colonel? You scammer, how dare you put on airs in front of me?"
Ye Wenshuai's face was twisted with rage, he shouted at the security team "Execute the order, whoever dares to block will be arrested..." Ye Wenshuai seemed to still have some sanity and did not give the order to open fire.
At this time, Wu Chang was also scolded by Ye Wenshuai, he actually took out a pistol and slapped it on the armrest of the wheelchair "I'll see who dares to make a move! I don't believe it, just because of my merit in pacifying the Hot Sand Rebellion, I can still save Xueying's life..."
Wu Chang finally clashed with Ye Wenshuai, because he had already sensed the intense hostility from Ye Wenshuai's expression and tone. What crap imperial law, that was just Ye Wenshuai's tool to bully people.
At this time, Ye Wenshuai's face had already turned black and he stared at Wu Chang's face as if looking at an archenemy from three lifetimes. "You'd better think carefully, a commoner like you can get this much credit is not easy, don't let this trivial matter delay your future. Don't say I didn't warn you in advance..."
"Thanks a lot..." Wu Chang said in a raised tone, with a sarcastic and mysterious air.
Words didn't match, Ye Wenshuai nodded "This lawsuit we'll take to the military department, you think you can get off scot-free......" After finishing speaking, he pointed at those few underlings and scolded "Useless things, still not rolling back......"
Watching the departing security team, Wu Chang took a deep breath and then controlled the wheelchair to walk to the stunned doctor's side, asking in a low voice.
"How is Blood Shadow's condition?"
The doctor in charge is now sweating profusely. He's really afraid that the unpredictable patient will cause them trouble, because the information about the biochemical person was proactively reported by the doctor to their superiors.
Wu Chang seemed to understand his idea and smiled, saying "You're just following the rules, this matter isn't your fault, don't worry, no one can make things difficult for you"
Until then, the doctor in charge was relieved "The skin grafting operation was very successful and the vital signs are now stable, but..."
"Go on, don't be afraid"
The doctor removed his mask and said, "But the patient is unlikely to wake up again. He inhaled a small amount of nerve toxin, which has already damaged his brain nerves... You also know that the IQ of bio-people is originally low, even the slightest amount of toxin will cause permanent damage..."
"It's likely that the adult warrior will become a vegetable..."
