Chapter 1482: Bardmon City Part 12
Bardmon City, Defense Border
"Sir, all the rocks have been transported to their designated spot." Kong Ming returned and reported the situation. Nevertheless, his eyes subtly shifted to the two women who clearly didn’t belong in the military.
"These two are here to document our activities." Xu Feng naturally noticed it and explained.
"Hello," Cute Joy and Little Honey greeted Kong Ming as they introduced themselves.
"I see... documentation." Kong Ming didn’t find it amiss in the explanation.
It was common for certain people to document an event, especially when it concerned important matters.
That was how one preserved historical events and let their future generation understand the past.
"You don’t mind letting them follow you, right?" Xu Feng inquired.
Kong Ming was a bit taken aback.
"You want them to document me?" He was skeptical. "I don’t think there’s anything worthy for them to document me on."
"That’s not true!" Xu Feng cleared his throat and flashed a solemn expression.
"Kong Ming, as of this moment, you shall be the commander in defense! Everyone shall obey your words to repel the Colossuses. I’ll be in the support line to buff and heal the soldiers."
"W-What??!" Kong Ming was astonished by the sudden role. "I cannot do that, Sir."
"I don’t misjudge people. I can tell that your heart has a boiling point that seems ready to give the Colossus a hard time. Or could it be that you’re afraid of them?"
"Absolutely not, Sir!"
"Then accept the promotion and prove to me that these Colossuses had overestimated themselves!"
"YES, SIR!"
As soon as Kong Ming accepted the order, Xu Feng received a system prompt.
DING!
[Congratulations on triggering the hidden NPC quest: Kong Ming’s Rise!]
[Description: Kong Ming has been constantly waiting for a liege to serve, but to no avail. Despite being a Tier 4 expert, Kong Ming never revealed his strength much and chose to wait for a rightful liege to serve allegiance to. Successfully repelling the Colossuses with casualties less than 90% will have a high chance of recruiting Kong Ming!]
’There it is!’ Xu Feng was wondering how to trigger the quest.
Thankfully, his gamble had paid off by referring to how the historical figure Kong Ming would always personally lead the armies to battle without ever cowering in fear.
While Xu Feng was celebrating internally, he didn’t let this excitement cloud his mind.
"All soldiers, listen up!" He raised his voice and grabbed their attention.
"Kong Ming will be the commander in chief for the defense operation. Anyone who disobeys or disrespects Kong Ming will be subject to military disciplinary actions!"
"YES, SIR!" All the soldiers postured themselves in a uniform manner and saluted solemnly.
Not a single soldier objected to the arrangement.
"Alright, follow Kong Ming now. These two will be documented for future references." Xu Feng informed them.
"Hello." Both Cute Joy and Little Honey stepped forward and waved hi to them.
When the soldiers finally took notice of the two women on the defense border, their expressions revealed shock and bewilderment.
It wasn’t that they were being skeptical because of their genders, but rather that they were confused by their presence.
The defense border wasn’t some field trip or anything. There will be intense battles, and nobody will have the time to focus on defending them.
"Sir, with all due respect. The battlefield is perilous, and we cannot afford to be distracted." A soldier mustered up their courage and reported.
"You think these two can’t fend for themselves?" Xu Feng was amused.
Although they didn’t join the guild, he knew very well that these two were among the top Tier 2 players. Their skills and cooperation were enough to give numerous headaches from trying to kill them.
"Do it." He gestured for the two to demonstrate their skills to these soldiers.
Sure enough, Cute Joy wasted no time and blinked away.
In an instant, the soldier who spoke up realized a dagger was already hovering next to his neck.
Fast!
The soldier was startled by Cute Joy’s speed and agility. The movements were so fluid that they made him unable to discern when she had gotten behind him.
"It’s fast, but soldiers like us never work alone." The soldier warned her.
Once his words were finished, a sword also crept behind Cute Joy’s neck.
"Yeah, but we’re a tag team." Cute Joy smiled sweetly and tilted her head slightly.
Soon, the swordsman soldier noticed something poking at the back of his head.
By the time they realized it, Little Honey had already placed a gun on him and smiled sweetly.
"Bang, you would have died way before you could even harm my teammate." Little Honey said.
"That’s correct, but we aren’t a two-person platoon." The swordsman soldier tried to defend themselves, only to be interrupted by Kong Ming.
"It’s too late for them to even make a move." Kong Ming said and pointed at the ground. "These two ladies had laid a formation while we were conversing. Once triggered, everyone without the protective symbols would be affected."
The soldiers were baffled and dumbfounded by Kong Ming’s words. They didn’t doubt him either because his perceptions were always high.
"As expected of you, Kong Ming." Xu Feng praised and clapped his hands.
"These two often have to head to dangerous territory to do documentation, so it’s their nature to always set up numerous precautions." He explained while subtly warning the soldiers to always remain cautious and aware of their surroundings.
Even if they were currently at a supposed "safe" base on the defense border, danger could always approach them without any signs or warnings.
"We apologized for underestimating you two." The soldiers accepted their blunder and promptly saluted in respect to them.
As soldiers, they only recognized skills and nothing else. Since these two had proven themselves capable, there were no longer any issues.
"No worries." Cute Joy shook her head and accepted their apology.
"It’s our habit to make people lower their guards anyway. Makes our lives so much easier." Little Honey giggled and retrieved their setups.
