In the future, Earth is no longer habitable due to thermonuclear war, world-ending earthquakes, tectonic plate shifts, species extinction, and psionic awakenings...
Qin Che, an ordinary perso...
With his children all grown up, Gao Chun had entered his forties.
But he never stopped thinking about his own younger brother, who was four years older.
"I wonder how he's doing on the icy battlefield."
Quanbu laughed and asked, "He's still alive?"
"Yes, he's an officer in the First Main Force now, and I heard he's a captain in the Trapped Camp," Gao Chun said proudly.
The family members at the rear did not know what the Trapped Camp was; they only felt that their younger brother's rise to the rank of officer was the reason why their family's life was gradually improving.
The dog-like walk did not expose him.
The soldiers in the Trapped Camp were all suicide squads.
They have to be at the forefront, which is more dangerous than any other branch of the military or unit.
This Gao Jun was actually an officer in the Trapped Camp.
No wonder……
It can enable my family to live a good life.
“My workshop is all thanks to my younger brother. He sent back a lot of money from the battlefield, but he didn’t keep any for himself; he sent it all home.” Gao Chun’s expression always becomes excited when he talks about his brother.
Those were officers of the main force.
In this area, whose child can become a military officer?
Gao Chun is very proud of her younger brother.
Dog Step fell silent.
Is the war about to end?
And it wasn't a defeat.
Perhaps the King of Qin had already defeated his opponent, which is why the human army was able to cross into the northern part of the empire's territory and enter the Jade Capital.
The great enemy has been defeated.
Humans have completely taken over the ice fields.
They fought a war for decades.
Finally, the final chapter has arrived.
Logically, since the war is about to end, Inugami's mission should also be over.
But he can't leave here now.
Perhaps as soon as he leaves, the captain in a berserk state will be hunting him down.
Dogwalk is no longer able to create another wormhole.
He could only hide in this city.
After all, the captain dared not enter the city because the markings on his body were too obvious, the azure blue essence energy imprinted on his face.
Eyes like a monster's, and a powerful physique.
They might be arrested as enemies as soon as they enter the city.
Deerhead Fortress is not without its strongmen.
Since this is a major industrial city, there must be troops stationed here.
Although the presence of troops is a secret that cannot be made public to ordinary residents.
But Dog Step isn't that stupid.
Leopard Court has a large number of troops stationed in its three special zones.
Especially in major cities.
If Lutoubao were just a minor location, there would be no garrison there.
Then he wouldn't have a chance to hide here. The monster that was chasing him, his former captain, might even come into the city and kill him.
But they didn't get the chance in Deerhead Castle.
"Are we really going to be trapped here?"
Quanbu diligently performed his duties as a technician in the workshop.
Several months later, Gao Jun returned from the battlefield.
He was awarded numerous medals, all of which were the most precious and valuable.
Every single soldier in the Trapped Camp, if they can return, will not be allowed to move to Leopard Court and live a leisurely life as nobles under the Prince.
The monthly salary is enough to make many people envious.
Gao Jun was dressed in military uniform, tall and imposing. He had a buzz cut and carried his heavy backpack on one arm.
He stood outside the workshop, glanced at it, and looked pleased.
Gao Chun, who was on patrol, turned his head and saw him, and his face immediately froze!
"You're back! You're back!"
Gao Chun was overjoyed and rushed over to give his younger brother a bear hug.
Gao Jun chuckled and asked, "Brother, how's things at home?"
"Good, all good. You're not leaving again this time, are you?" Gao Chun laughed heartily as the two exchanged pleasantries outside the workshop gate.
He used a dog-like gait to conceal his figure, deliberately crouching down to avoid drawing attention to his tall stature.
There is little difference between underwater people and humans.
They are tall and handsome.
Because every newborn undergoes gene editing at birth, with their faces designed and edited to resemble the most perfect features.
They can also prevent 90% of diseases that occur over time.
Including cancer and various terminal illnesses...
Therefore, the underwater people are only different from ordinary humans in their internal structure.
But outwardly, there is no difference.
Gao Jun said, "We're not leaving this time. The war is over. The prince defeated the Icefield King of the Empire. We found ore on the opposite side of the ruins."
Although Gao Chun didn't quite understand, he still felt impressed and amazed.
What Icefield King... ore...
These are all too far, far away from him.
His only concern was that his younger brother would never leave again after returning this time.
"Brother, get ready. The military has arranged a new home for us. We'll be moving to Leopard Court from now on."
"Really?!" Gao Chun was taken aback, and immediately frowned.
He was actually a little reluctant to leave his workshop.
“I have received many honors and awards, and I have also met with the prince,” Gao Jun said. “They bestowed upon me the title of Leopard Court Noble and ordered me to move with my whole family to live at the foot of the royal city. From now on, I will not have to do anything and can leisurely receive my salary.”
Gao Jun's title was the lowest rank of nobility.
But it can be passed down through generations.
In other words, his sons and grandsons, even after his death, would still be able to inherit the same noble title.
They receive the same salary and enjoy the same status.
Moreover, the nobles residing in Leopard Court, even those with the lowest titles, wielded far more power and influence than the nobles in the countryside, even those of higher rank.
They are heroes, and their children and grandchildren are the descendants of heroes.
Decades of fighting, forged with lives.
They played an indispensable role in enabling Leopard Court to defeat the enemy and occupy the ice plains.
Gao Chun hesitated for a moment: "But my workshop..."
Gao Jun chuckled and said, "Brother, you can easily delegate this to someone else. The military doesn't restrict military families from using their titles for business. Maybe I can even help you."
Where are Mom and Dad?
“Both of your parents are at home. I told them you would be coming back soon, and they miss you very much.”
Gao Jun's eyes were a little red.
He wanted to rush back immediately to see his parents.
Then, he moved to Leopard Court with his brother and parents.
They can live there peacefully for the rest of their lives, enjoying their retirement.
Not far away, Quanbu frowned and stared at Gao Jun.
He knew what those medals on Gao Jun's body meant.
They also knew the significance of Gao Jun's meeting with the Regent.
This shows that Gao Chun's younger brother was among the group of people who made the greatest contributions on the Icefield battlefield.
In fact, unless one had made the most outstanding contributions, one would never have the chance to meet the King of Qin.
Dog Step felt his chance had come.
He wanted to follow the family and leave Deerhead Fortress for Leopard Court, where it might be safer. He needed to find a way back to his hometown to present the Essence Stone to the High King.
