The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2951 Don't worry, I have a trump card!

Fight to the death?
Are you so sure I'll lose that you're giving me a heads-up, making sure I can't back down or run away?
Under military orders, there was no room for argument. Lin Chen answered without hesitation, "Understood, fight to the death!"

Isn't winning enough?
Kong Wenlong patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and praised, "As expected of someone who has made great contributions, your awareness is truly high!"

Before returning to the ranks, Kong Wenlong calmly said, "Merit must be rewarded and demerit must be punished. Only with clear rewards and punishments can the army fight bravely. I can tell you that the Spirit Ascension Array has been built. Those with outstanding military achievements can enter it to cultivate and quickly improve their strength. In addition, there will be rewards according to the size of the merit. Those who die in battle will not only receive generous compensation, but will also be enshrined in the War Soul Shrine, where they will be remembered for eternity!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: Spirit Ascension Array!
this is not bad!

Although Lin Chen is not lacking in cultivation resources now, he still needs a lot of time to improve his strength. The effect of this Spirit Ascension Array is close to that of infusion, which can rapidly increase the strength of the cultivators within it.

Who doesn't want to be even more capable?

Now that he has only just entered the Great Luo Immortal realm, he already has the strength to fight against a high-grade Great Luo Immortal. If he can improve further, even just to the middle grade, he should not feel much pressure fighting against a high-grade Great Luo Immortal, and his ability to protect himself on the battlefield will be greatly enhanced.

Everyone else's eyes lit up, and they all looked excited.

While going to the battlefield to fight is certainly to protect the immortal realm and one's homeland, if there are no benefits and it's just a matter of dying with a heart full of passion, why would so many people rush to the front lines?

Military merit is not only an honor, but also brings tangible benefits!

"Alright, meeting adjourned. Team Five, go first, Team Three, go second."

Everyone else left, but Gao Ming and Chen Chong stayed behind on their own.

Gao Ming frowned: "There's not much to say about the Fifth Team. They are indeed a tough nut to crack for the Ninth Brigade. The Third Squad has gone through a series of changes, and its strength is not what it used to be. Sending the Third Squad to fight may make that kid unlucky, or even die in battle, but if they lose, wouldn't that be a loss of face?"

Kong Wenlong said in a deep voice, "Both sides are teams of a thousand people, it's perfectly fair. If they can't win, that's their own problem, not my fault!"

Chen Chong patted Gao Ming's arm and chuckled, "Haven't you noticed yet? That kid has turned the Third Squad into an impenetrable block, like his private army. Keeping such a squad around would just be an eyesore."

"Let them charge in and fight for a while. Given their strength, as long as the other side doesn't falter, they'll most likely suffer a major defeat. There will definitely be a lot of casualties and heavy losses. Under such circumstances, it's perfectly normal for them to flee or something. If that kid's strength falters, he might be finished."

"Even if he doesn't die, such a crushing defeat is enough for the captain to punish him. Even if he isn't killed immediately, he can be removed from his position as squad leader, demoted, and replaced with someone else as the squad leader. Then, strong reserves can be selected to fill the vacancies. After some reorganization, wouldn't the three squads be completely loyal to the captain?"

"As for Lin Chen, he doesn't hold the rank of squad leader, but he's still a soldier. With his strength, how long can he survive on such a battlefield?"

Gao Ming paused for a moment, then quickly glanced at the silent Kong Wenlong, and suddenly realized, "The captain has great foresight; I am no match for him."

Kong Wenlong frowned: "Nonsense! Everyone has to go to the battlefield eventually. He's new here, so I let him go first to get used to things and hopefully make some new contributions. Why all this nonsense?"

Chen Chong chuckled: "I was just guessing, Captain, don't worry about it."

Gao Ming chimed in with a laugh, "Yes, yes, we were just talking nonsense. The captain is fair and just giving Lin Chen a chance to make a contribution. This is actually taking care of him."

A faint smile appeared on Kong Wenlong's face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

You little brat, how dare you make my nephew lose face like this! I'll show you how to kill you!
If you lose, I can take advantage of the situation to temporarily remove you from your post. Without the position of squad leader, with your strength, one battle after another, let's see if you survive!

……

"Fifth squad, third squad!" Lin Chen returned to the military camp and, seeing Chen Shuihe and the others surrounding him, calmly gave an answer that no one was surprised by.

Chen Shuihe and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they knew this would be the outcome, they were still somewhat unwilling to accept being targeted.

"How was this decision made?"

Lin Chen replied, "He directly selected the five squads first, and then us. He said he wanted me to make new contributions, and he also told me that even if the opponent was strong, we had to fight to the death and not lose face for the Ninth Brigade..."

"Even if you can't win, you still want to fight to the death?"

Chi Ya frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction, "Does he want us all to die on the battlefield?"

Xiong Yaxiong sneered, "There are countless reserve corps in the rear. We've been outwardly obedient to our captain, but inwardly defiant. He's long disliked us. If we're all wiped out, he can just send in a batch of obedient men to fill the gaps..."

After a pause, Xiong Yaxiong glanced at Lin Chen and said, "In his mind, the sect leader must be weak, and if the opponent is strong, the sect leader's chances of dying in battle are definitely high!"

The head of the medical hall, Shi Ju, replied coldly, "Even if the sect leader returns alive, he will definitely find fault with us, saying that we didn't perform well in the battle, and then use that as an excuse to strip us of our power, remove the sect leader from his position as a squad leader, and send one of his men to manage us..."

The crowd was indignant, but there was nothing they could do, since everything was in accordance with military regulations.

Seeing that everyone was looking somber, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely win. I have a trump card!"

All eyes turned to Lin Chen, their gazes filled with doubt and curiosity.

"What's your trump card?"

Chi Ya asked, "You wouldn't be suggesting that your wives join the war, would you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "A thousand-person team is a thousand-person team. What does it matter if they participate in the battle? It has nothing to do with them."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked, "In the battlefield, if a beast tamer summons their contracted beast to fight, is that against the rules?"

Chen Shuihe answered affirmatively: "The skill of a beast tamer is to control beasts. Demonic beasts are not immortals, so it is not against the rules. Didn't some people summon demonic beasts to fight on the battlefield before?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's good."

Xiong Yaxiong asked curiously, "Sect Master, are you a Beast Tamer?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Anyway, don't worry, you'll see when the time comes. Don't feel pressured, fight openly, we will definitely win, and we will win cleanly and decisively!"

Everyone was quite happy, but they couldn't quite believe it.

Even though the sect leader is a beast tamer and can control demonic beasts, and the demonic beasts are very powerful, in this battlefield of a thousand people, a single demonic beast is like a wave in the sea, so what role can it play?

The sect leader must be trying to comfort everyone because he sees how heavy-hearted they are.

Well, that must be the case!
