A fleet under the Shadow Mad Dogs flag (a regimental fleet) has a Ms. Rebil mothership, as well as shieldbreaker destroyers, armored frigates, La Kairam, and supply and transport ships.

When most people see a combination like this, they would think that the Shadow Mad Dog Team is going to war.

But this regimental fleet was actually escorting a merchant convoy.

The total number of merchant ships in the fleet exceeded 300, the smallest of which was over 500 meters long and the longest over 1 kilometer.

The merchant fleet was jointly commissioned by several companies to the Tianyi Mercenary Group to escort it to the Gas Empire.

The deposit for the commission directly exceeded 10 billion Earth coins, and this was just the escort from the 3rd zone colony to the 1st zone colony.

The person who led this united fleet was Li Xiucheng. Li Xiucheng escorted a fleet of nearly 100 ships to the colony of Zone 3 and escorted the merchant fleet to a port of a certain country for repairs not long ago.

The 22nd Base immediately received a request for help from the Shadow Mad Dog Team, as most of the injured troops at the 22nd Base had already accepted other assignments, and the rest were repairing at the base. No unit could escort a fleet of more than 300 merchant ships.

The commander of the sub-base had no choice but to contact Li Xiucheng for help.

After checking the information of the merchant fleet and the amount of the deposit, Li Xiucheng agreed.

…

"Wow, foreman, I didn't expect that the one escorting our merchant fleet is actually one of the direct units of the Tianyi mercenary leader, and they even have a mobile fortress." An employee said, pointing at Lu Weijielu in the distance.

"Okay, stop talking and stop looking. We have to work. These are their patrols."

"But, foreman, our company is willing to deliver the goods to the Gas Empire only if we entrust it to the Tianyi Mercenary Group. The famous large local mercenary groups have reduced their remuneration, and our company is unwilling to entrust them. Obviously, the scale of the troops sent by those large mercenary groups is much larger than this force, and our company and other enterprises are unwilling to entrust them."

"Nonsense, do you think those mercenary groups can deliver our and other companies' cargo ships to the Gas Empire? The war in the second area colony in those years, the [Libro Colony Satellite Terrorist Collision] incident, caused many criminal groups and pirate groups to grow there, and the local countries there are in a lot of trouble. These countries have lost too many troops in the wars, and they are simply unable to deal with these criminal gangs. Apart from the Tianyi Mercenary Group, which other mercenary group do you think these criminal gangs are afraid of?"

"Indeed, only the Sky Wing Mercenary Group makes them afraid."

"Two weeks ago, a criminal gang in the colony of Area 3 offended the Tianyi Mercenaries. They were directly killed by the Tianyi Mercenaries. Not only that, but other criminal gangs related to them were also eliminated by the Tianyi Mercenaries. So now any criminal gang, especially the pirate gang, will run away as soon as they see the flag of the Tianyi Mercenaries."

"By the way, Foreman, not long ago, we passed a meteorite area. Isn't that the detention area where the Dion Army is imprisoned?"

"It is indeed the detention center area. Why are you talking about this?"

"The war has come to an end. Didn't the Dion Empire send anyone to negotiate with the Skywing Mercenary Group to redeem the captives?"

"How would I know that? If you have the guts, go ask the Tianyi Mercenary Group. Why are you asking me?"

At this time, another employee passed by and said, "I think the Dion Empire is about to have a civil war. How can they have time to care about the captured soldiers?"

…

On the other side, Li Xiucheng was looking at the reports sent by his subordinates.

At present, some outstanding ordinary human members have been selected from the main base and branch bases to join the Shadow Mad Dog Team for training, and even some children are also being trained.

These children are called war orphans by the media today because they have lost their country, homes and loved ones.

These children are either adopted by welfare homes, orphanages and other charitable organizations, or sold by human traffickers.

Or they may be trained by criminal organizations and pirate groups to be cannon fodder and tools.

The Tiancui Mercenary Group once discovered these orphans when they destroyed several criminal organizations and pirate groups that had offended them.

These war orphans are investigated to see if they have really lost their country, parents or even relatives.

Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming adopted these war orphans to train future Tianyi mercenaries.

Taoxiang was not very supportive of this matter. She felt that all children might not be suitable to be mercenaries in the future and that some tests should be conducted on these children.

Long Fei supports his wife's idea of ​​testing what skills these children are good at and then developing them.

In response to this, these war orphans underwent various tests on IQ, physical fitness, etc., and then were differentiated.

The children who are separated will be raised and cared for. These orphans will go to school for a period of time like children from ordinary families, but the teaching is different. The subjects in which the children are good at will be focused on.

More than half of the adopted children have been assigned to the Tianyi Mercenary Group to be trained as future mercenaries.

There are 8 hours of classes a day, 3 hours of which are the same subjects as those in ordinary schools, and the remaining 5 hours are for military training.

Most of these children will officially join the Tianyi Mercenary Group after they turn 18, except for some particularly outstanding children who will join earlier and undergo more rigorous elite training.

The other part of the war orphans who were not assigned to the Tianyi Mercenary Group were trained as talents and employees for the subsidiaries of Tianyi Group.

The children trained by Li Xiucheng's Shadow Mad Dog Team were also selected from these war orphans and trained among the more outstanding ones.

Li Xiucheng went to the cafeteria to eat. There were dozens of children eating there, and several female members were responsible for taking care of them.

These dozens of kids are pickpockets. A few days ago, when they were repairing a certain national port, Song Guowei and several members went out to eat and encountered these kids who actually wanted to pickpocket their members' wallets or valuables.

They caught him in the act.

They originally planned to call the police and let the local police handle it, but the locals told them that even if the police came, they would only detain them for a few days at most and then release them. Then these pickpocket children would continue to be controlled by the adults and continue to be pickpockets and thieves.

They listened to the locals and let the children go.

Not long after, those members passed by a place and found that the children were being beaten by the adults who were controlling them.

A few members couldn't bear to watch and gave the adults a good scolding. The rescued children did not thank the members for their rescue, but were very scared instead.

Several members were puzzled and learned from the children that even if they saved them once, they would continue to be beaten even more viciously by these adults when they returned.

After the children found out where the hiding place was, Song Guowei directly ordered a team to rescue the other children and control the adults.

Song Guowei saw dozens of children at the scene, all with scars from beatings and whippings on their bodies. Some of the children had even been killed and their organs had been removed.

Although Song Guowei and the other members had become somewhat numb after several years of war, they were still extremely shocked and heartbroken when they saw the bodies of the children whose organs had been taken away and who had died in such a miserable state.

Then, we learned from the children that these dead children were often beaten because they often failed to meet the adults' requirements. The frequent beatings made their bodies unable to bear the pain and they died from serious injuries. After death, the adults took out their organs and sold them on the black market.

The adults who did these cruel things did not feel any remorse, but instead shouted to the Shadow Mad Dog Team who caught them: "There are a lot of people doing this outside, why can't we do it? We have to eat too. These children have no parents, so we can use them if we can, and sell them if we can't. No one will pity them anyway."

After hearing these words, many members couldn't help but shoot them.

Song Guowei raised his hand to stop them, allowing these people to torture these adults temporarily and extract information about their black market organ organizations.

After getting the information, Song Guowei asked several people to disguise themselves, and then said to these adults: "Since you just said it, there are so many people doing this kind of thing anyway. Anyway, you are all a bunch of scum. No one will pity you if you die. Then we can sell your organs and make money. Anyway, we also want to find money to spend, so let's sell your organs."

The adults were so scared that they cried and begged for forgiveness, but they didn't dare to do it anymore.

Song Guowei said coldly, "It's too late." He waved his hand and dragged these adults out.

Then, Song Guowei reported the matter to Li Xiucheng.
