Wei Huan could have taken the phone without anyone noticing.
After all, kobolds are stealthy in their actions. As long as they can avoid surveillance, no one will know that the contents of a warehouse were taken by kobolds the size of rats.
Moreover, the kobold is a type of zombie. As long as you don't get close enough to photograph its eyes, most people will only think that it is a dark beast that escaped from a spatial rift, and will not think of Wei Huan.
However, Wei Huan made a move against Shi Heng's group.
On the same night that the Legion's supplies went missing, the trap set by the Shiheng Group and the Osham garrison was not only broken, but also resulted in the loss of a Tier 5 stacking bombardment. That same night, the Shiheng Group was bombarded by a sky full of green flames.
Whether it was the Great Xia's intervention or the Green Fire bombardment, it was enough to draw everyone's attention to Wei Huan.
After all, this wasn't the first time Wei Huan had made a move on Earth.
Just over a month ago, he bombed a Zhanzu base on the outskirts of the Great Xia capital. Intelligence agencies from various countries had already gathered information about Wei Huan's abilities through various means.
This green firefly bomb is unique in the sky and on the ground, and only Wei Huan can use it.
You can't hide it forever.
However, if it were just a matter of taking action against Shi Hengzu, other countries would probably consider it a "personal grudge" and not bother to pursue it, out of respect for the prestige of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The premise is that Wei Huan did not sweep through the abandoned mobile phone warehouses of the three countries, and the other countries could turn a blind eye.
That won't work now, of course.
The discarded cell phones have been gathering dust in the warehouse, and no one has ever thought of taking one.
Nobody is interested in trash unless it's not trash, or a way to turn waste into treasure has been found.
Without a doubt, Wei Huan, or rather Da Xia, must have found a new use for discarded mobile phones, which is why he was able to plunder warehouses in three countries in just a few days.
Realizing this, other countries immediately locked up their old cell phones in vaults and deployed heavy security forces to guard them.
Furthermore, before anyone could even celebrate the victory in the war, a new wave of turmoil was brewing at a time when people all over the world were overjoyed.
The various countries joined forces to put pressure on Great Xia, using Wei Huan's attack on Sangshu Kingdom as a pretext, but in reality, they were forcing Great Xia to hand over the secret to cracking the discarded mobile phone.
Frequent exchanges of spies between countries have led to a turbulent international relations landscape.
Only the people of all countries are still immersed in simple beauty and joy, as if it were New Year's Day.
Da Xia said, "Let's put aside the fact that L has nothing to do with Wei Huan of our country. Let's take another step back and see if everyone has forgotten who the greatest contributor to the victory in the ancient battlefield was."
If any nation dares to attempt any unethical act against the great contributor to Earth and the hero of the world's people, they will be an enemy of my Great Xia!
It's just empty talk, who's afraid of who!
The diplomat stepped forward, pointing at the Osama diplomat, and said, "And what evidence do you have that our country did this? The world is now dominated by challengers, and there are countless challengers with special abilities. I would also like to remind a certain country here not to stir up trouble out of nothing, to distort the truth, for those who do many unjust things will surely perish."
After the negotiations at the negotiating table ended, the diplomats from Great Xia received private phone calls from diplomats from more than sixty countries.
They all used a soft tone to...
The diplomats from Great Xia spoke in a way that appealed to their interests, sending them many large foreign trade orders and supplies that Great Xia genuinely needed.
The diplomat's mouth got sore from answering so many phone calls, so he summed it up in one sentence: "Brother, what good opportunities are there for us to make a fortune together?"
But no matter how other countries used both soft and hard tactics, the "giant wave" crashing against Wei Huan was stopped by the state.
This is one of the advantages of living in a powerful country.
This country may not be perfect, and it may face many difficulties at times, but it will do its utmost to protect its citizens and will never let its heroes feel disheartened.
Wei Huan was well protected in the rear, and he didn't feel any of the aftershocks of the storm.
This day marked their official entry into the Northeast Army Corps.
The annual enlistment ceremony is held in August, but it's only April now, yet the Northeast Army has held a separate ceremony for Wei Huan's convoy.
Wei Huan had just returned from a mission in the Three Kingdoms region. Before he could hand over the cell phone, which might be the relic of the "angel," he was hurriedly taken to the Northeast Army camp.
Although the ceremony was short, it was complete and solemn, with almost all the Northeast Army generals present, as if they were afraid that if they were even a second late, Wei Huan would be snatched away by someone else.
Finally, after the ceremony was completed, Wei Huan put on the insignia of the Northeast Army Corps and, together with Mu Zhong, Xu Qingqiang, and other crew members, participated in the conferment ceremony.
Wei Huan was directly given the rank of major, skipping the lieutenant rank.
Giving this rank to a 20-year-old newcomer who has just joined the legion is obviously too high, but wartime is special, so there is no need to wait for seniority to accumulate. The capable should be given the position.
This was the result of discussions among all the legion commanders.
Wei Huan stood on the conferment platform, where Commander Chai personally pinned on his major's shoulder insignia. Finally, Commander Chai hugged him, patted him on the back, and said, "Well done, young man. I couldn't have done better than you. You have no idea how happy I am right now."
After they parted, a sentimental Commander Chai bowed to Wei Huanli, adjusting his military cap and collar.
Then he looked at the other person.
Mu Zhong sat in a wheelchair next to Wei Huan, waiting to be awarded his rank.
His captain rank had been removed, and his bare shoulders looked somewhat thin, but when Commander Chai put the major's shoulder insignia on him, his whole body straightened up.
"Major Mu." Commander Chai stepped back, stood up straight, and saluted him.
"Yes!" Mu Chong returned the greeting, his imposing manner not diminished at all despite being seated.
"You will always be the pride of our Northeast Army!"
"Yes!!" Mu Zhong answered loudly, his eyes filled with tears.
Mu Dehao watched from the side, his eyes also filled with tears, his heart brimming with joy.
Others may not know how important this moment is to Mu Zhong. He is a man who has crawled back from hell, with every bone in his body shattered. The pain of this healing process is something that outsiders cannot even begin to comprehend.
But he eventually stood up and continued to live proudly.
Following Mu Zhong were Xu Qingqiang and others.
As the main combat personnel on the vehicle, Xu Qingqiang had been recommended for merit by Mu Zhong from the beginning.
However, the Legion has never awarded ranks in the [Criminal Rank]; instead, it applies for senior officer positions in a single application.
Furthermore, Xu Qingqiang's background check was also very complicated. He had worked as a bounty hunter and had previously clashed with the authorities.
Although there's no need to settle scores later, many of his past actions are recorded, making the review process very difficult.
In the end, Commander Chai had to personally make two trips to get things done.
The rank of lieutenant on Xu Qingqiang's shoulder is the highest that the Northeast Army can currently achieve.
Commander Chai was worried that Xu Qingqiang would be unhappy, so he patted his arm and whispered, "Do your best, and leave the rest to us."
Xu Qingqiang nodded. What could he be unhappy about? Did he not know his own background?
He never dreamed of what was happening before his eyes.
Commander Chai then awarded ranks to the others, all of whom were second lieutenants.
This level is normal; it's already quite high for students who haven't graduated from Challenger University yet.
After the special awarding ceremony ended, Commander Chai left to continue arguing. L had already spat out much less while he stayed.
The subsequent arrangements were left to Mu Dehao.
Because of the excellence of his son and son-in-law, Mu Dehao, who had been marginalized and almost sidelined, regained control of the Northeast Army. He not only managed the supplies, logistics and training for both the Challenge World and Blue Star, but also had a number of level 5 tanks and professionals under his command.
He was a powerful figure in the Northeast Army Corps.
Arranging Wei Huan's convoy was his responsibility, partly because Commander Chai had specifically delegated the authority to him.
From accommodation to the distribution of supplies, as well as access to various parts of the military camp, everything was handled perfectly by Mu Dehao, and it was clear that he was being given special treatment.
Such a special and obvious arrangement would have been met with fierce criticism and condemnation from the Northeast Army soldiers if it had been done by anyone else, who would have called them "favorites."
But things are different now.
When the passing soldiers saw Wei Huan and the others being led away by Mu Dehao, they excitedly rushed into the dormitory, their faces flushed, shouting: "Wei Huan and the others have finished their rank conferment and are heading to dormitory area A. Luckily, Wei Huan is related to Commander Mu. I heard he almost joined the Southwest Army, but our corps intercepted him, hahaha, Commander Mu is awesome!!"
Yes, that's how double standards they are!
Others can't get in through connections; they're considered nepotism hires, parachuted-in soldiers. But Wei Huan joined the corps through connections, which is our competitive advantage. Luckily, Captain Mu—no, Major Mu—used his beauty, uh, no, his male charm… Anyway, it's an honor for the Northeast Army that Wei Huan was able to join!
This was a tragic era, and countless martyrs are buried in the eastern suburbs.
But it was also a brilliant era, a time when heroes shone brightly and competed for supremacy.
A new order is built on ruins. The admiration for strength is the main theme of this era. There are no literati or noble families. Only those challengers who demonstrate absolute power in the face of attacks from the dark beasts can be truly respected.
Without a doubt, Wei Huan's team is not just strong, but incredibly strong.
For the Northeast Army, the most heated discussion these past few days since it was confirmed that Wei Huan and others had indeed joined the legion was not about the end of the war, nor about the joint encirclement that Great Xia had encountered in international diplomacy, but about the two empty seats left in Wei Huan's car.
Ordinary people only care about small things.
The soldiers of the legion only cared about their own little "pit" matters.
Joining Wei Huan's racing team means joining the future leaders' team.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wei Huan will eventually achieve success in the real estate industry.
A figure like the captain.
The people in his car were all true heroes.
In this era, no one cares whether you are a glamorous celebrity, a respectable person, or the child of a wealthy leader.
These glories paled in comparison to the heroic leader's chariot, utterly devoid of any appeal.
Wei Huan's charm in the Northeast Army was truly captivating!
After joining the Northeast Army, Wei Huan lived a secluded life, or rather, he rarely appeared in public. He spent his free time in the "King of Soldiers Simulation Training Room" learning the combat skills of the King of Soldiers.
But the other passengers on the bus have been having countless "chance encounters" and direct self-recommendations whenever they leave their residences these days.
Even Mu Dehao privately asked Mu Zhong if he had any thoughts about the two remaining team members in the car.
Mu Zhong said, "Should we, as the tank commanders, decide this matter, or do we absolutely have to recruit soldiers from the Northeast Army?"
Mu Dehao shook his head: "Of course not. As a special convoy, you must have special privileges. But remember one thing: you can choose not to recruit members of the Northeast Army, but the people who get on your vehicles must be members of the Northeast Army."
It was a very difficult sentence, but Mu Zhong understood it.
He nodded: "Don't worry, strength isn't the key point, compatibility is more important, and we have our bottom line."
The conversation ended there, and Mu Dehao asked again, "Have you asked Wei Huan when he plans to participate in the Level 4 assessment?"
With Wei Huan's strength, they are indeed capable of going to the front lines. Staying in the rear would clearly be a waste of resources.
Mu Dehao had already found them positions in the Northeast Army Corps; as soon as they joined, an army corps would guide them.
But Mu Zhong said, "Wei Huan is about to advance. Once he advances, we'll go back to challenge the world."
"Almost advancing?" This was the first time Mu Dehao had heard this news. "It's only been a little over 50 days since you advanced to the third rank, right? Currently, the fastest advancement from the third rank to the fourth rank on Blue Star is 160 days."
"When did Wei Huan follow the usual practice?"
Mu Dehao thought about it and agreed, "Only 50 days, can things be stabilized so quickly?"
"I don't know, but I believe Wei Huan will handle it well. He is not a person who is eager for quick success."
"I believe it too." After saying that, Mu Dehao still reminded him, "Ask more questions and show more concern. Also, you need to choose the right direction for your own career. The shaman sequence is of paramount importance to your team, but the pilots already have training grounds, which will improve the overall situation of Blue Star. You need to make a choice between the two."
Mu nodded.
After the father and son finished talking, Mu Dehao left and headed towards the office building.
Mu Zhong headed towards the training ground with a sense of urgency. The good news he had been waiting for had finally arrived!
...
In the Great Xia, the training facilities of the [Farmer Sequence] are the most complete. The Great Xia not only has the warrior training ground - "Battle Tower", but also training rooms for various "combat skills" developed on the basis of the Battle Tower.
Just like using the microscopic world to increase spiritual power, doing explosive exercises to increase agility, and engaging in combat skills training will also increase strength.
In his previous life, Wei Huan was stuck at the True Soldier level. During the five years he stayed there, he mastered the True Soldier combat skills to perfection.
Now reborn, although I've chosen the path of a summoner,
However, Wei Huan never stopped training in real combat skills. He probably performed this set of tactics more accurately than most farmers, and it also provided him with a strength bonus of 2 to 3 points each time.
These past few days, after joining the Northeast Army, Wei Huan finally had some free time to devote to training, so he spent almost all his days at the combat skills training ground.
There's a long queue at the elite soldier combat skills training ground, which has an extremely high density of personnel. He can go there anytime to train and stay for a whole day.
It might affect the training of others, but Wei Huan must learn the King of Soldiers' combat skills, and he must learn them absolutely correctly.
He knew his time on Earth was short, so a set of standard elite soldier combat skills was the foundation for him to remain powerful in his challenges to the world.
So even though these past few days might affect others, Wei Huan could only apologize.
But what is the reality?
When Mu Zhong arrived at the combat skills training ground, he saw Liu Xiaotian and others standing outside the training ground, craning their necks to watch the live broadcast of the training ground, and then a group of people kept clicking their tongues.
"This is the most powerful summoner I've ever seen."
"Look at this, all of you. When I ask you to train, one or two of you try to slack off. You get all arrogant and conceited over the smallest achievements. Look at Wei Huanqiang, why is he so strong? He even practices the soldiers' combat skills meticulously. How can he not be strong?"
"Wei Huan has overturned my definition of a back-row mage. Look at the power of his punches, it's not just fancy footwork, his power is used perfectly, he might even be able to fight a warrior one-on-one."
Liu Xiaotian recalled that Wei Huan had attacked him in Sangshu Kingdom before: "It's so low to fight a warrior one-on-one. I went on a mission with Wei Huan before, and I felt that his strength was no less than that of a King of Soldiers... Of course, he is far inferior to me, especially if I were wearing the King of Soldiers armor, I could easily take on two of them at once."
"Brother Xiaotian." Hearing this, Mu Zhong couldn't help but speak up, "Although I think you're really low compared to a ranged attacker, I have to say that you might not be stronger than Wei Huan without armor."
Liu Xiaotian felt as if his lungs had been pierced, and he puffed out his cheeks in anger: "I am Liu Xiaotian, a man who is about to become a Martial King! Don't use me as a comparison when you're praising someone! You're ruining my reputation! If a King of Soldiers like me can't even beat a Summoner, what am I supposed to do?"
Mu Zhong smiled but remained silent.
It wasn't that he blindly believed; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It was genuinely true that if Liu Xiaotian hadn't worn his armor, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Wei Huan.
Wei Huan's attributes are too high. He has consumed all the strength potions, including those for the gold level. He also needs to train in real combat skills when he has free time.
Most importantly, Wei Huan possesses a pseudo-divine artifact that grants a 25% bonus to all attributes—anyone who uses it will know how powerful it is. Combined with the 25% bonus to all attributes from the title "King of Dark Beasts Nation," it's incredibly strong.
Without armor, the elite soldier is half as weak and would definitely be no match for Wei Huan.
Besides, Mu Zhong wears glasses.
Liu Xiaotian is stronger than Wei Huan, but much weaker in agility. He's a sitting duck when he meets Wei Huan and can only take a beating.
Mu Zhong saw things clearly, but there was no need to explain them too thoroughly, and it was impossible for him to make Liu Xiaotian and Wei Huan fight over a mere verbal dispute.
How dare you make others fight just because you said it? You're so shameless!
However, because of Mu Zhong's words, the onlookers' opinion of Wei Huan underwent a subtle change; they were no longer simply experts looking at laymen.
Rash.
With a change of mindset, they discovered that Wei Huan's punching power was indeed much greater than they had imagined. They were unsure whether he could fight a king of soldiers, but he would have no problem fighting a real soldier.
Before he knew it, Wei Huan had finished a round, rested for a bit, drank some water, and then returned to the center of the court to continue.
People came and went as they watched.
No one said that Wei Huan shouldn't have occupied the training room. Most of them would gather together and watch L with great interest for a while, and then sigh, "If a summoner can be so strong, why am I wasting my life here?"
After observing L for a while, Mu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
It's hard to describe his feelings right now. If he had to put it into words, it would be like bringing his lover back to her parents' home, and he's afraid she'll look down on them, and he's also afraid her family will gossip and drive her away.
Now those concerns have disappeared.
Wei Huan's reputation in the army was probably much higher than his.
After waiting for more than an hour, Mu Chong saw Wei Huan taking a break and pushed open the door to go in.
Wei Huan walked over, covered in sweat. His rising heat seemed like real hormones, making Mu Zhong slightly tipsy.
After a pause, Mu Zhongcai said, "Angel Ji has arrived. Come over after you finish training."
Wei Huan nodded, he knew about it: "I'll take a shower and then go."
After saying that, he was about to get back into the car when he saw Mu Zhong still standing there. He asked him, "Was the journey smooth? Are you going to wait for me?" Seeing Mu Zhong nod, Wei Huan said, "I'll hurry."
After I finished speaking, it was indeed much faster.
Less than five minutes later, Wei Huan, looking refreshed, reappeared before Mu Zhong.
As soon as he arrived, he went around to Mu Zhong's back, pushed Mu Zhong's wheelchair forward, and began to talk in hushed tones.
Soldiers passed by from time to time along the way, and when they saw them, they stood at attention and saluted. The two men stopped to return the salute, and they barely finished their conversation when they were almost at their destination.
Both of them have been busy these past few days.
Wei Huan not only had to learn the combat skills of a top-ranking soldier, but also had to adapt to the responsibilities he would have as a mid-level general, and get to know many people.
Mu Zhong was busy unlocking the unclaimed phone.
More than 80 million mobile phones instantly filled the Northeast Army's armory to the brim, exceeding the value of the supplies stolen from the Northeast Army a hundred times over. Furthermore, all the stolen supplies were recovered without exception. This time, the Northeast Army won a resounding victory.
In the past two days, Mu Zhong has been invited to various military regions to retrieve the belongings of his fallen comrades and to return the scattered supplies to the Great Xia military treasury.
After the great battle of the ancient battlefield ended, the Great Xia's treasury was full. Compared to other countries that were exhausted, the Great Xia could launch another war of the same intensity at any time.
In addition, Mu Zhong was also discussing the construction of a "mecha legion" with various military departments.
Mu Zhong obtained the "Steel Factory," a professional training ground for pilots, and possessed mecha technology that was far ahead of Tula, which had been developing this field for four or five years earlier. It was imperative for Great Xia to form a mecha legion.
Upon arriving at their destination, Mu Zhong concluded by saying, "...The formation of the mecha legion is on the agenda, but our team needs to focus more on cultivating the shaman sequence right now. I think the commanders want me to primarily improve the pilot sequence level. I didn't expect this conflict to occur. I'm sorry, I will try my best to make arrangements."
Wei Huan patted Mu Zhong's shoulder reassuringly: "Do whatever you want, I'll figure out the rest."
What?
Mu Chong looked up at him, about to say something, when another soldier passed by and saluted, "Greetings, Major Wei; greetings, Major Mu."
The two stopped talking and raised their hands in return.
This interruption left me wondering where to begin asking what "finding a solution" meant, and what solutions an individual could come up with for such a national strategic initiative.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at this four-story building located in the military area.
"This is it," Mu Zhong said. "Let's go in."
The building's exterior showed no abnormalities, but its interior was filled with an indescribable element.
It was an extremely gentle element with healing power. Everyone who entered this space felt the air was fresh, their eyes were brightened, and they felt extremely comfortable.
Mu Zhong felt that even the temperature in this building was just right, not too much or too little.
The anxiety from a moment ago completely faded away here, and the tense shoulders and back relaxed.
"As expected of a place where angels reside, even the air feels different," Mu Zhong said relaxedly.
But Wei Huan, standing behind him, subtly changed his expression.
