Chapter 40: A Broken Heart

  The Second Demon Army has been training for some time, while conducting routine physical training. They were also taught a lot of knowledge about how to hide in their spare time. Although they thought these were things that only scouts needed to learn, now everyone had to learn them.

  Soon, the well-trained warriors and the monsters of the legion either hid in their tents or lay down in the nearby bushes, covering themselves with branches and leaves. Not long after these people hid, a black dragon appeared in the sky above the legion.

  "It doesn't move at all." A Carthaginian warrior said in a low voice after crawling for several minutes, looking through the gap in the grass at the black dragon still circling in the sky: "It seems to know we're here too."

  "Don't be silly." The companion beside him pulled the warrior into the bushes and said, "The entire camp has been camouflaged, it's so high up in the sky that it can't see us." The monster army's tents were specially dyed, after decorating with many cut branches, they could not be found in the air.

  And tent concealment is one of the training assessment projects. At first, because they were not familiar with how to do it, many people were penalized for not being qualified and could not eat. Now these Carthaginian and Mauro warriors are very confident that their camouflage will not be discovered.

  "After all, he still knows we're here." After waiting for a while and seeing the black dragon leave briefly and fly back, the warrior said with certainty: "Now it's just that he can't find our exact location."

  "Everyone come out." At this time, Nadal stood up from his hiding place and said to the warriors crawling in the grass: "It should be the black dragon of the city lord. The training location is only known within the castle."

  As expected, after the warriors came out one by one from their hiding places, the black dragon slowly flew down. Finally, just before landing, it emitted a flash of light and transformed into a young woman. With a huff, she rushed over to Nada, her voice full of discontent: "Really, why did you have to hide? You made me search so hard!"

  "Because I don't know whose fault it is." Nadal looked at the huffing girl and laughed, saying: "What brings you here?"

  "Orders!" Jones handed the command book in his hand to Nadal and said, "From now on, you need to go to the northern mountain range, kill a Wyvern Giant and bring back its body."

  "But our training is not yet complete." Nadal frowned, looking at the manual and said: "There are still many subjects that we have not started yet. It's not very suitable to send the legion into battle at this time, even with your help."

  "I won't be helping you with that," Jones said. "The master has ordered you to consider this on your own, and in this battle, you will not have any assistance, you must complete the task entirely on your own."

  Can a legion of monsters defeat a Wyvern Giant? Before answering this question, let's first understand what a Wyvern Giant is. A Wyvern Giant, as the name suggests, is a hybrid descendant of dragons and giants. They have the gigantic body of a giant, five to six meters tall, as well as the sturdy scales possessed by dragons.

  The hybrid of giants and dragon clans, the giant dragon, has extremely powerful strength, even if it is a stone weighing several tons, it can be easily lifted. And this time's task is in the mountain range, where there are stones everywhere, which is absolutely the home court of the giant, if the legion launches a strong attack, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

  Not to mention the Azure Dragon Giant, such a powerful demon, there are also numerous demons around. If one is not handled properly, it will lead to the annihilation of the entire legion. So what Mo Yan wants to test is not the strength of the legion, but rather its combat effectiveness.

  Although the two sound similar, they are actually different. Combat power is the power to kill enemies, regardless of the method used. On the other hand, actual strength refers only to the power of a legion of monsters fighting together.

  "It's fortunate that the Wyvern Giants don't use magic." Nadal thought for a moment and said, "In that case, as long as we have an excellent battle plan, we still have a chance of winning."

  "Who knows." Jones said indifferently, "But I'd like to remind you that you're just the training officer of this legion, and in fact, you don't have the right to command this legion. And those Maro people don't belong to the legion either, they're just here for training."

  Hearing Jones' words, Nadal suddenly came to his senses. He had only come to train these Carthaginians, who were the future leaders of this legion. So this mission didn't require him to worry, and the one who needed to worry about winning or losing was Gylla, who had been appointed as the legion commander, although he hadn't completed his training yet.

  "This is the training manual." Nadal handed the book to Kira beside him: "This is a test for you, of course if it's really impossible, just tell the lord to give up." As he spoke, Nadal patted Kira on the shoulder and walked towards his own tent. If the legion was going to set out to the northern mountains, then he could also rest for a few days.

  "That's a big shot, isn't it?" As Nadal passed by several Carthage warriors who were gossiping and had transformed into human-bodied black dragons, he maliciously shattered the beautiful images in their minds.

  "Male... male dragon." The warriors who were just discussing the beauty of the black dragon, suddenly stared at Jones with disbelieving eyes and shouted: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's so cute, how can it be a male dragon?!"

  "That's right!" Jones smiled as he walked past the shouting warriors, smoothly finishing off the enemy and saying: "Don't look at me like that, I'm actually a boy!"

  Suddenly, in the camp, there seemed to be a faint sound of something fragile shattering. Many Carthaginian warriors wept and wailed, saying they would never believe in love again. But some individuals just shrugged and said that as long as it was cute, it didn't matter even if it was a boy.

  These warriors were later avoided by other warriors without exception. And they were labeled with a term that describes people who are also interested in the same sex, called gay. These people thought they were members of the FFF team, and this term was also learned from Mo Yan.

  "Geralt, can you think of a way out this time?" Ciri asked Regal, who was watching with an air of detachment: "I don't want to admit it, but your ideas are actually pretty good. I've lost count of how many times they've gotten me out of trouble."

  "Alright." Matthew nodded behind Regal and said, "It seems like it's going to be fun, let's help out then."

  "Bastard! No one asked you!" Regal kicked Matthew away, scolding him after he had covered his head and crouched down to defend himself. Only then did he turn back to Kyra and say, "We are not a system, this is not our responsibility. You should think of a way to defeat the giant yourself, but I can remind you that at least you cannot fight him in the mountains."

  And nearby, there seems to be a swamp that's not too big, but still quite dangerous. If it were me, I'd set the battlefield there. A huge body should be easier to sink into, right? As for how to do that, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."

  "Cut... said no help." Matthew looked at Regal, who had been talking a lot, and said: "In the end, it's not that you didn't say a lot, but just short of telling them specific methods."

  "Give me a break!" Regal kicked the stall again and Matthew said, "I'm just reminding you, okay? Even if I didn't say anything, Kyra would still find that place in the end. I just saved him some time."

  "Alright, alright." Matthew hastily surrendered and changed the subject, saying: "By the way, do you know what the so-called Party Guards are for? If we don't get incorporated into the legion, what's the point of training these things. As the incoming Party Guard No. 1, what do you think we're supposed to do?"

  "Old routine," Regal shrugged and said: "It's just some catching of suspicious characters, setting up intelligence networks in enemy countries, that kind of thing. Occasionally we'll also go after traitors or assassinate important figures from the enemy country. The specific job description and training syllabus haven't come out yet. We're just here to receive some basic training for now, and after completing these courses, I think there's still a special training session."

  "Is that so." Matthew said somewhat uninterestingly, "It's those shady jobs again, really annoying. But whatever, it's still familiar work after all, taking over should be easier."
