Chapter 297: Wait and See

“Here our ideas diverge,” Lan Jue announced “You’ve done it right – the well-disciplined do not break But don’t forget what the Clairvoyant told us; ill face a cataclys not even the Iron Ared a powerful unit, but it isn’t absolute What if it isn’t enough to repel the invaders? I feel that the Iron Ar would do better if disseminated to a wider audience The more soldiers you turn in to warriors the better, not just sitting on our haunches”

Lan Qing’s brows knit tight “You don’t understand the ed units can’t stand up to one crack tea a path only the greatest soldiers have walked When you serve here, you do so with the best of the best My men, are all supersoldiers If humanity should encounter a terrible war for survival, you can bet the Iron Ar to his brother, was struck with how little he understood about this world His brother was called the god of wisdoht But I’ll prove that these kids I’ve brought are the best of the best”

On the bedside tables there had been placed MREs for breakfast, arranged at some point while they slept To them this was bed side service!

Tenin orderly rows at the door to the barracks

Lan Jue in his golden yun in silver, stood facing them

Gao Lei, in the saent to the training field

There was surprise written in the eyes of the battalion coi pilots to be ready in such a short ti to go, as opposed to how they looked yesterday T was like they were entirely different people

“Drill” Gao Lei addressed Lan Jue “For the next roup in training, but we are only responsible for executing the prograes can keep up How much they can handle, is up to them”

“Fine” Lan Jue’s response was as tepid as his brother’s

Gao Lei turned away, and looked at the students with a distinct light of scorn in his eyes He shouted at the voice “Atteeeeention! Left- face! Get to running, ots!” He was off like a shot, with his small coterie of soldiers close behind

Lan Jue folloith his assistants and students in tow

As they left the barracks area, Gao Lei picked up speed The base had been under constant development for the last ten years, so it was vast and well paved Everything fell under a protective shielding that kept An Lun’s toxic atmosphere at bay while they worked

There was a tradition a the Iron Army soldiers, that unless you were on official business or there was an urgentonly by virtue of your oo legs It strengthened both one’s body and one’s will
