"Are we going to investigate the two border towns? The previous intelligence officers failed. The tactical team's goal in the past was to attack and find out the other party's methods and situation through direct means. We can suppress them when necessary."

Hawks put down the transfer order in his hand, and a blue light flashed slightly in his hand. He put the transfer order into his space storage ring. When he looked up again, he saw two Achilles Warrior captains with black shield marks on their bodies and a medal on their waists competing in the actual combat training ground of Achilles Warriors.

The so-called Black Shield Mark is awarded by Taylor specifically to the Achilles warriors who have killed the most enemies and have the most exquisite martial arts. All those who possess the Black Shield Mark are the most powerful elites among the Achilles warriors, and all of them are at the captain level.

Medals are awarded by Kano after meritorious service. The lifelong ambition and greatest pursuit of the Achilles warriors is to dedicate everything to Tyler, so the black shield mark and various medals and honors are what they pursue internally, and the initial levels are divided based on this. The more honors and medals, the higher the status in the Achilles warrior group.

Also, because Achilles warriors basically all have the same heavy armor, the same iron body, and extremely similar weapons, as well as the same ideals and goals, they generally call each other brothers during communication.

At this time, on the actual combat playground, there were two captains of the Achilles warriors, one holding a sledgehammer and the other holding a long sword. The two of them kept colliding with each other. The sledgehammers danced vigorously and the long swords emitted a hint of cold light. The two kept colliding with each other. The crisp collision sounds echoed in the playground. The battle between the two became more and more fierce, and even the ground beneath their feet was slightly cracked in the aftermath of the battle between the two.

After the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, the Achilles warrior captain holding a long sword had lighter steps and focused more on agility. Although his strength was also good, the long sword still had a slight advantage over the heavy hammer. In the end, he put the tip of the sword against his opponent's neck.

"Looks like I win this time, Brother Weiss."

After winning the competition, Captain Achilles threw the sword used in the competition onto a rack full of weapons and reached out to Captain Weiss who was holding a sledgehammer.

"You win again this time, Barry, but I firmly believe that only a heavy hammer and strength can break all obstacles and clear the way for the great master!"

Although Captain Weiss lost, he did not lose the battle. He put one hand on Captain Barry's hand and used the other's help to stand up from the ground.

Around the two captains, the other Achilles warriors who had been watching the battle applauded and cheered. Some warriors held chainswords, some had bolt pistols on their waists, some held heavy bolt guns or standard bolt guns, and some wore grenades on their waists and held heavy flamethrowers in their hands.

They are all subordinates of these two captains.

At this moment, Hawks suddenly came here, and all the Achilles warriors present, including the two captains, immediately stood up straight, with their left hands hanging down to their chests, and bowed their heads to pay tribute to their commander of the Achilles Legion.

"Legion Commander!"

"Um."

After feeling the respect from his men, Hawks nodded, then looked at Weiss and Barry and said.

"Weiss, although your two-handed hammer has a good balance of tension and relaxation, and you have found your own way through constant practice, your control of wrist strength and the center of gravity of the hammer head are slightly insufficient. Speed ​​is your weakness."

"Barry, even though you won this time, you still can't let your guard down. Weiss has made great progress, and maybe he will have the upper hand in the next duel. You are good at using a long sword, and the standard weapon of the Achilles warriors, the chainsword, focuses on slashing and thrusting. You should improve in this aspect."

After commenting on the two of them, Hawks began to talk about the real reason he came here.

"Lord Taylor, who is great and wise and has given us the true future path, and is also our master, has issued an order to us: We are now sending a tactical team to two small cities in the remote areas of the city-state centered on Maple Leaf City, Mountain City and Boulder City, to investigate the situation. There seem to be some signs of something wrong there, and we need a tactical team to investigate. We can take direct force measures."

Weiss and Barry looked up at the same time when they heard this; they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Weiss held the sledgehammer in one hand and slapped his breastplate with the other. The dull sound echoed in the combat training ground. Even the team members behind Weiss looked proud of it. They straightened their spines quietly and exposed their chests, revealing the medals they had won in a crisis mission.

This is their honor and their pride.

On the other side, Barry's team members were a little anxious. Looking at their empty breastplates and the lack of any honor to display, they lowered their heads dejectedly. Barry, the captain, showed the black shield mark on his shoulder armor and said with determination.

"Captain, I think we can take on this mission. We have been preparing for a long time to demonstrate our value and role in front of the master. Moreover, we are a newly formed team and need the experience of blood and fire!"

Hawks took a special look at Barry. He was very familiar with Barry. In fact, this warrior with excellent swordsmanship was his direct subordinate at the beginning. He had performed various complex tasks with him many times. He had experience and various coping abilities.

Maybe I should give them a chance. Weiss and his tactical team have already made a contribution once. It's time to give Barry and his team a chance. Besides, it's just a small town, and most of the people there are ordinary people. According to intelligence, there is only one first-level life form knight who can transform into a segmented insect.

However, the giant stone city seems to have a special way to breed a mutant ant-shaped monster, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

"This mission will be carried out by your tactical team. Weiss, your team is in the second echelon. If Barry and his team encounter any accidents or force majeure, you must go to support them immediately!"

"yes!"

"Understood~~~~"

Weiss was a little unhappy, but Hawks didn't say much. After informing him, he turned and left.

These soldiers are all excellent fighters trained by him. They can respond to any crisis and difficulties in a timely manner and are extremely reliable and powerful fighters.

"Let's go, let's go..."

For a moment, Captain Weiss, who felt a little bored, waved his hand and walked to the other side with his team members.

Barry gathered all his team members together, including the Fisk brothers, who were responsible for the frontal attack with him and were armed with standard bolters, and the Taro brothers and the Leonardo brothers, who were responsible for heavy fire suppression and were armed with heavy bolters and had a row of various elemental grenades hanging around their waists.

A Venetian brother who is responsible for dealing with special situations, is good at various tactics, and has some achievements in runes.

The Willix brothers are responsible for the logistics and ammunition supply, and they hold heavy flamethrowers and spray high-energy magical flames.

Barry did not dare to neglect the first mission that their tactical team had to perform. He gathered all the team members together to discuss tactics and pre-set response plans for various emergencies.
