After a muffled groan.
A figure flew backward and crashed heavily into the Tenth Company's camp.
Boom!
After the dust settled, a deep, human-shaped crater, several meters deep, came into view.
The soldiers of the Ninth Company glanced at the sunken statue that stood firm and unmoved, then at the deep pit. After a brief silence, they erupted in thunderous cheers.
None of them expected that Chen Qian would not only not disappoint them, but would even far exceed their expectations.
One move!
The centurion Bi Xiu was defeated immediately.
The soldiers of the 10th Company found it even harder to accept this fact. In their eyes, their invincible company commander was no match for a mere greenhorn.
Dust churned as Bi Xiu leaped out of the deep pit.
Unlike the dejected soldiers of the 10th Company, Bi Xiu was full of anger, with a hint of confusion in his expression.
He didn't understand how he lost. In a daze, he only felt a strange force, and then he was inexplicably blasted into the ground.
Bi Xiu roared and drew his long sword from his waist, ready to charge forward again. However, as soon as he took a step, a series of "crashing" sounds came from his body.
With a clang, his armor suddenly shattered into countless fragments, falling to the ground.
Bi Xiu was stunned.
He looked at his unharmed body, then at the scattered metal pieces on the ground, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Bi Xiu then silently lowered his long sword, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
He then realized that Shen Qian had actually held back; even the alloy-material centurion armor couldn't withstand a single blow from the opponent, let alone his physical body.
What an amazing top scholar!
Bi Xiu couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from giving up the meaningless struggle.
"You have to pay back whatever amount you took."
He left a single sentence before sinking away, ignoring Bi Xiu completely. He turned around, picked up his long stick, and headed towards the Eighth Company's encampment on the right.
"Company commander, are we really going to..."
After Shen Qian was escorted away by the warriors of the Ninth Company, a centurion of the Tenth Company couldn't help but speak up.
"If you're not as skilled as others, there's nothing more to say."
Bi Xiu, looking slightly dazed, raised his hand to stop the other person from speaking. "Give up all the territory that originally belonged to the Ninth Company before dark. In addition, take two hundred sets of new battle armor from the warehouse and send them over."
"Company Commander, returning the territory is fine, but sending armor... is that really necessary?"
The centurion exclaimed in astonishment, "Those new suits of armor were only allocated last month, and our own men haven't even been fully equipped yet!"
"Just do as I say." Bi Xiu glanced deeply in the direction Chen Qian had left, his eyes flashing. "Don't worry about temporary gains or losses; I know what I'm doing!"
"yes!"
...
Shen Qian dragged his long stick and strode to the entrance of the Eighth Company's camp.
Behind him were the spirited soldiers of the Ninth Company.
They never imagined that one day, people from other companies would no longer be swaggering around the Ninth Company's gate, but that they could take the lead.
Some veterans who had served for several years even had tears in their eyes at this moment.
They were said to be the elite of the Jiangzhong Army's Lushu Camp, but they didn't even dare tell their families when military dependents were allowed to visit each year.
For no other reason than...
That narrow, winding path, which even a dog might not want to walk on, is enough to block everything.
They've simply become complacent and unmotivated; it doesn't mean they've lost all sense of shame.
The guards at the entrance of the Eighth Company witnessed everything that happened in the Tenth Company. When they saw Shen Qian striding closer, they all became nervous, but none of them dared to shout.
"Company Commander Shen, please halt!"
Just as Shen Qian was about to enter the gate, a smiling voice rang out.
Shen Qian looked up and saw a slightly plump, fair-skinned middle-aged man hurrying over.
He was dressed in civilian clothes and gave Shen Qian a standard salute, his gaze falling on the military insignia shining on Shen Qian's shoulder with a complex expression.
A seventeen-year-old major—a figure never heard of since the restoration of human order.
It's like the little rascal has grown up... and become utterly outrageous!
But just now, back at the base, he witnessed Shen Qian instantly kill Bi Xiu, and it didn't seem so hard to accept anymore.
"I am Guan Xuexian, the adjutant of the Eighth Company. Our company commander said that the occupied territory will be returned by tomorrow, so there is no need for Company Commander Shen to make the trip in person."
The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and spoke quickly.
Shen Qian nodded slightly and indeed did not linger. He turned and left, which made Guan Xuexian secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lin Tong!"
Shen Qian showed no intention of turning back, but instead called out.
"arrive!"
Lin Tong, his face beaming, quickly ran up.
"Which company was responsible for injuring you?"
"Fifth Company... Company Commander, I'm actually fine, there's no need..."
"You think I'm here to avenge you?" Shen Qian rolled his eyes. "Aren't you going to just leave the stolen Feast Pills and concentrated juice?"
Lin Tong then realized he had misunderstood and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
After a slight hesitation, he still said, "Company Commander, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the Fifth Company has always been the strongest in the Deer and the Shu Battalion. Its combat strength, equipment, and numbers are all top-notch, and it is extremely united. It's not as good as us..."
"lead the way!"
Shen Qian interrupted him indifferently.
Seeing that Shen Qian's attitude was firm, Lin Tong didn't say anything more and took the lead in leading the way.
Soon, the group arrived at the Fifth Company's encampment.
Before arriving, I noticed that among the ten companies of the Deer and the Shu Camp, the fifth company had the best location. Not only was it the largest in area, but you could also vaguely see a stretch of blue water in the middle of the camp, which was like having its own sea view.
