Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 107: Chapter 101 Military Merit Rewards, Special Beastmaster Troops?_2

Under such circumstances, if the Forest Wolf Troop, which had suffered a great defeat before but had become surprisingly elite after completion of its cultivation, were to suddenly achieve something astounding, the significance would be completely different.

So, what did it mean when a new Evolutionary Body appeared—one that had never before been seen in the outside world, with an unknown origin and combat style, completely unfamiliar even to the veterans in the Legion?

It represented completely unknown intelligence, an absolute advantage, and priority in resource allocation!

At the same time, it also meant that this Pet Beast, the Forest Wolf, warranted the allocation of more resources and manpower.

Under such circumstances, as long as the capabilities of the Wanmu Wolf weren’t too disappointing, it would definitely be able to orchestrate a major surprise!

Not to mention, according to Zhang Lie’s description, this Wanmu Wolf had already become the most comprehensive top-tier Forest Wolf Evolver.

It wasn’t just Zhang Lie who was itching with curiosity; Lin Lei was too. After all, as the Division Commander of the Battle Wolf A Division, he also had a damn Forest Wolf among his Pet Beasts! Although this Forest Wolf wasn’t his main combat Pet Beast, it hadn’t evolved yet!

If force doesn’t work, resort to gentleness.

Thinking of this, Lin Lei sighed,

”Comrade—no, Squad Leader, since you hold the same military rank as me, you should also know that I’m not at liberty to distribute military honors as I please. The division indeed has a quota of honors, but all the battalions from the Battle Wolf A Division will be participating in this competition!

”With so many battalions requesting them in advance, where would I find enough to give? If I give to one, what about the next one that comes asking? I also beseech you, Squad Leader, to trust our soldiers! Those who can pass the selection are definitely the elite of the elite! Perhaps Breeder Su himself would like to do the selection?

”How about this: if your troops indeed achieve a ranking—I daren’t say first place, but as long as it’s within the top five of the entire army—it would be reasonable for me to offer a second-class merit! You know a first-class merit isn’t realistic or possible, but a second-class is still feasible!

”Even if such high ranks aren’t achieved, after the event, I will still award a third-class merit. Although it’s true that for developing a brand new Evolutionary Body, if the Breeder were part of the Legion, it wouldn’t be difficult to receive a second-class merit. However, Breeder Su isn’t a member of the Legion. So, if it really comes to that, I must ask that you and Breeder Su not publicize this third-class merit...

”As for an honorary military rank, you should also know that even I don’t have the authority in that matter.”

These words were spoken with sincerity and genuine emotion.

Su Anyong gave a slight nod.

A second-class merit!

Of course, he knew this was indeed Lin Lei’s limit. He also knew that obtaining military honors as pure funding for cultivation before a battle was inherently difficult. This was precisely the outcome Su Anyong had been aiming for.

The Legion was a place where strength and achievements were paramount!

Only achievements could be persuasive; only the strong could distinguish themselves.

Without achievements, it was normal to gain nothing at all.

Su Anyong’s early military experience had certainly taught him to acknowledge this.

He paused for a moment, then continued, ”If the Forest Wolf Troop achieves a top-five position, then in addition to the second-class merit you’ve promised, your division will have to grant another third-class merit!”

”This... Alright!”

Top five, that will suffice! How many hidden dragons and crouching tigers are there in all the battalions of the entire army?

”Squad Leader, rest assured,” Lin Lei said, thumping his chest in assurance, though he quickly added a caveat to avoid any grander demands. ”It’s not just General Zhao whose attention you’ve caught; people from the other Legions also want to see the results. In terms of resource cultivation, there definitely won’t be any problems! After all, the highest level for this competition is Commander Level, so excessively advanced cultivation resources won’t be needed!”

He was truly intimidated by this ’Squad Leader.’
