Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 370: Cutting off the signs

The next day, the commander-in-chief woke up slowly from his coma. Thanks to the hunter's control over his body from years of training, he didn't need to do anything to notice the difference in his legs.

I lifted the quilt and saw
The commander-in-chief's eyes dimmed a lot, and he struggled to get up from the bed.

Hearing the noise in the room, the captain quickly walked into the room. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle yesterday, as the top leaders of the investigation team, they only took a short rest last night and got up early this morning to start working on the affairs of the Star Base.

Only the Grand Commander temporarily took over the position of Commander-in-Chief, and on the still intact star ship, he handled various reports and issued corresponding orders.

Therefore, when the commander-in-chief made some noise, the commander-in-chief who was working next to him immediately noticed it and hurriedly put down his work and came over.

"Carlos"

The Grand Commander looked at his old friend standing on one foot on the floor, and felt a little blocked in the heart. Although he knew very well how strong his old friend was, when faced with such a thing, how many people could truly accept such a reality?
Not to mention that he was once the most elite hunter and had his own pride as the commander-in-chief.

"It's okay."

Before the Grand Commander could continue speaking, the Commander-in-Chief showed a faint smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that after facing such a guy head-on, I could still survive. It's just a broken leg. I'm really lucky!"

The commander-in-chief's tone was very relaxed, as if he was truly grateful for having saved his life.

Seeing that the Grand Commander still looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, the Commander-in-Chief tried to hop twice on one foot. This movement suddenly intensified the pain in his broken leg, and he was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing this, the commander-in-chief immediately helped the commander-in-chief to the bed.

"Hiss, it really hurts!"

"Carlos, don't do this."

As an old friend of several decades, how could the Grand Commander not see that the Commander-in-Chief was forcing a smile at this moment.

"Ah~~"

After he sighed and recovered, the commander-in-chief looked at his legs in a daze. The commander-in-chief beside him didn't know what to say.

After a long time, when the little boy came in with a bowl of porridge, he saw the commander-in-chief who had woken up and was sitting beside the bed, sighing silently. His eyes turned red, but he forced himself to hold back the tears.

"Grandpa, it's time to eat."

For him, after his grandmother passed away, his parents, at the request of the commander-in-chief, took his grandmother's ashes back to the Old World to settle down. Here, his only relative was his grandfather, whom he had always respected so much.

But now.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." The commander-in-chief rubbed the other's head, looked at the little boy's face which was almost exactly the same as his when he was a child, and suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"Noah, do you want to go live with your mom and dad on Old Road?"

After the words fell, the little boy raised his head: "What about you, Grandpa?"

The commander-in-chief looked at his broken leg and after a long silence, he said in a low and firm voice: "I will stay here. I will stay in the New World until I become a handful of ashes."

The commander-in-chief spent most of his life in the New World. For him, the New World has become his second home.

What's more, his ideal is here!
"If Grandpa doesn't leave, then I won't leave either. I was born here, and the New World is my hometown!" Noah answered very seriously with red eyes.

"You kid."

The commander-in-chief looked at his grandson with half relief and half pity, and he didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong, but as a hunter, once he made up his mind about something, he would not give up easily.

Although Noah is still young, in the commander-in-chief's opinion, he should respect the other party's choice. "Carlos, have you really decided?"

The captain sitting nearby interrupted at the right time.

After all, the final choice of every disabled or seriously injured hunter is to return to the Old World. After all, for these "heroes" who retire due to injuries, the guild and even the kingdom of their hometown will be responsible for their second half of life.

In the opinion of the Grand Commander and his men, the best option is for the Commander-in-Chief to return to the Old World. He has suffered here for decades and has been injured like this. He should not continue to live here.

"Of course, my decision has never changed. Unless you despise me for being disabled and think that an old man like me who is holding back is not fit to stay here any longer."

"Don't talk nonsense! An old man who holds us back cannot be the commander-in-chief of the investigation team!"

As soon as the words fell, the Grand Commander and the Commander-in-Chief all laughed.

The knot in my heart had just started to emerge, but it was nipped in the bud in a few words.

"Just take good care of your injuries. Master Yuanye has already asked Xialong to use an appropriate amount of medicinal mist to treat you every evening. Get well soon, old friend. We owe you a lot this time, and many things have to wait for you to make the final decision."

Well, the captain is a careless guy and really doesn't treat him as a patient at all.

No, it can even be said that they didn't even treat him as a human being.

He's still in pain, and you're actually planning to throw this kind of troublesome thing to him?

"That's too much, you bastard!"

Although his tone was full of complaints, the commander-in-chief had a smile on his face, and two turbid tears inadvertently slid down his cheeks.

Watching the Grand Commander leave with a big laugh, the Commander-in-Chief picked up the big bowl of wild vegetable porridge and started eating it with big mouthfuls using a spoon, under Noah's puzzled gaze.

"Eat more so you can get better faster. Everyone is still waiting for me!"

Three days passed in a flash.

In the original circulation area on the first floor, the hunters had cleared a space. At this moment, the commander-in-chief, who was leaning on a cane, was arguing with the mantis that was chirping non-stop.

The Grand Commander just folded his hands and watched the scene with a heartless smile.

In the end, under Ge Mantis's very logical but inhumane argument, he had to accept the huge debt.

Not only do they have to pay for metal materials equivalent to half of the Annihilation No. 1, but they also have to send enough manpower to help Ge Mantis complete the construction of its ruins city. Of course, the main construction must be done by Ge Mantis itself, and the investigation team is only responsible for the fine-tuning of the corners.

This sounds easy enough, but don't ignore the height and size of the mantis. If you calculate carefully, the amount of work is very exaggerated. At least with the current manpower of the investigation team, it cannot be done in the short term.

Fortunately, Mantis has become accustomed to the work efficiency of the investigation team and agreed to slow down the time to within ten years.

Please note that this is only the reward for Ge Mantis's help in fighting against Fu Yuelong. Helping the investigation team rebuild the Star Base is another price.

Watching Mantis leaving happily after getting the reward he wanted, the commander-in-chief sat on the wooden stake feeling tired.

Looking at the heartless leader standing beside him, he said unhappily, "You will do it next time. Forget it, I'll continue to communicate with it."

The commander-in-chief gave up the idea when he thought of the "great achievements" he had made when he asked the Grand Commander to be in charge of the negotiations.

"Next is the Blazing Sun Dragon."
