Chapter 512: Elite Squads
Chapter 512: Elite Squads
A non-specialist actually became the mentor for the reserve squads of various countries!?
What kind of development is this?
The top brass of each country never imagined such an outcome, even in their wildest dreams.
Naturally, their shock was immeasurable!
You have to understand, the reserve members of these special squads, while not the top prodigies, are still among the best of their peers worldwide.
They will become the backbone of the major armies in the future.
By all accounts.
Such a group of individuals should be proud and arrogant, highly unlikely to lower themselves to ask for guidance from a level sixty-something non-specialist.
But now...
The reality was right in front of them.
What does this show?
It shows that this non-specialist from the Dragon Kingdom had completely gained the recognition of these reserve squad members!
Otherwise, this phenomenon would never have happened!
"I wonder how those top-tier squads on SS-rank missions will react when they return and see this non-specialist."
General Li couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
The term "elite squads" naturally referred to the most powerful teams within the Hundred Ghost Fortress.
The Fourth Squad of the Dragon Kingdom.
The Third Squad of the Free Federation.
The First and Second Squads of Fusang Kingdom.
The Third Squad of the Duchy of Rhine.
The Fifth Squad of the Holy Light Empire.
The Second Squad of the Dark Night Empire.
The Third Squad of the Forest of Elves.
The Fourth Squad of the Giant Kingdom.
The Third Squad of the Dwarven Empire.
The Sixth Squad of the Orc Empire.
......
A month ago, these squads had been dispatched to the northeastern region of the Fusang Kingdom on a secret SS-rank mission.
The Ghost Slaves of the Takamagahara Forbidden Zone had built a ghost nest in that area.
The task of these elite squads was to destroy this massive ghost nest.
It was rumored that the nest was guarded by one Heavenly Ghost General and two Earth Ghost Generals.
The Heavenly Ghost General was named 'Onmoraki'.
The two Earth Ghost Generals were named 'Amabie' and 'Kawa Akago'.
Onmoraki had just been promoted to a Heavenly Ghost General, at level 99, just half a step away from reaching level 100. Among the Heavenly Ghost Generals, he was considered the weakest.
Meanwhile, Amabie and Kawa Akago were at level 91 and 90, respectively.
Only the top-tier squads had the ability to handle such an SS-rank mission.
Furthermore...
The members of these elite squads were all at least level 85, and their teams were rated as SS-level.
It had been mentioned before.
On the front lines.
Squads were also classified by ranks.
The strongest were the SSS-level squads, composed entirely of level 100, fourth-tier powerhouses.
Following them were SS-level, S-level, A-level, and so on.
The current reserve squads from various countries were only rated as A-level because they still contained some junior students who had just entered the battlefield.
Thus, their overall strength was somewhat lower.
In the Four Great Forbidden Lands.
Each country had its elite squads assigned.
These elite squads were essentially the future flag-bearers of their respective nations.
It's even possible that within these squads is a future Grand General of a nation's army.
After all, the current Grand Generals of various countries also trained in elite squads during their youth.
It's worth mentioning...
That the members of these elite squads weren't just seniors.
Some were 'veterans' who had already graduated but chose to remain in the squads for further training.
"We don't even need to guess; those people will definitely look down on this non-specialist."
"After all, didn't the squads from various countries also look down on him when he first arrived at the Hundred Ghost Fortress?"
The adjutant couldn't help but add.
Upon hearing this, General Li showed no sign of worry and laughed heartily: "That might not be a bad thing. If everyone's temperament was calm and humble like an old man, with no arrogance, wouldn't that be boring?"
"The young should be full of spirit!"
"When you reach my position, you can't afford to be so spirited anymore."
"Besides..."
"Those old guys who recommended Ling Zhan to me swore that he's already qualified to lead an SS-level squad on his own. Do you know which squad they initially wanted him to lead?"
Faced with this question, the adjutant cautiously answered, "Could it be... our Fourth Squad?"
"Wrong! It was the Second Squad, stationed on the front lines of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss!"
General Li laughed as he spoke.
As soon as General Li finished speaking.
Hiss!!
The adjutant couldn't help but gasp!
What?
They wanted this newly-arrived non-specialist to be parachuted into the Second Squad as its captain?
Damn!
Were the higher-ups out of their minds?
The captain of the Dragon Kingdom's Second Squad was already a level 99 figure, reportedly just half a step away from reaching level 100 and undergoing the fourth-tier transformation.
And the First Squad was entirely composed of fourth-tier members!
Just imagine.
The strength of the top-ranked special squads of the Dragon Kingdom.
Yet the higher-ups wanted a level sixty-something non-specialist to be parachuted in to lead such a powerful squad!
"General Li, isn't that a bit too ridiculous?"
The adjutant couldn't help but voice his criticism.
"Yeah, I also thought it was too hasty. Even though this non-specialist shone brightly in the Warcraft Tournament, he's still just a rookie on the battlefield."
"Sure, his potential is great, and his progress shows that the path of the non-specialist is viable, but he still needs time!"
"Throwing him into an elite squad filled with strong veterans would put him in a delicate position."
"After a thorough discussion by the army's top brass, he was finally placed in my Ninth Squad."
"But now it seems... this non-specialist is even more monstrous than we thought. In less than half a month here, he's already become a mentor to the reserve squads of various countries!"
"For him to make these young elites bow their heads really speaks to his abilities."
General Li laughed with admiration.
His tone was filled with appreciation for this non-specialist.
"Looks like things in this Hundred Ghost Battlefield are about to get lively."
The adjutant chuckled along.
"Indeed! How could it not be lively?"
"When those elite squads return, the real show will begin!"
General Li's face was full of smiles.
As if he was eagerly awaiting the spectacle.
Or rather...
He even hoped that the clash between the elite squads and the non-specialist would be fiercer!
At the same time, he wanted to take the opportunity to see if this non-specialist really had what it takes to sit in that position!
