The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

Only Zeng Linglong and General Liu remained in the ward.

"Little Dragon, the bait has been laid now."

General Liu looked at Zeng Linglong, his tone serious:

"When will Wu Jun and the others be released?"

Zeng Linglong walked to the window, moved his left shoulder, feeling the slight tingling sensation from the healing wound, and pondered for a moment:

"Two days later."

Two days later, my injury... was basically healed.

His gaze fell upon the distant night sky outside the window, his eyes gradually becoming sharp and profound:

"The selection and special training at the base... need to be accelerated."

"Old Liu, this incident involving the Cosmic Organization... has given me an increasingly strong sense of crisis."

"Those ten assassins, Vajra, Mad God... their combat power is all top-notch."

"This may only be the tip of the iceberg that they have exposed."

Zeng Linglong turned around, his gaze sharp, and looked at General Liu:

"The Cosmic Organization... must have an even stronger, more covert force."

"Therefore, we must... forge a truly sharp blade that can rival them, and even surpass them!"

General Liu's expression also became extremely solemn: "You mean... 'Dragon Shadow'?"

"right."

Zeng Linglong's voice was resolute, carrying a sense of both ambition and ruthlessness in his pursuit of history.

"The 'Dragon Shadow' I want to build is more than just a top-notch international special forces unit."

"It must... be able to fight alongside my Dragon Return Squad! And even, at some point in the future, be able to stand alone!"

His speech quickened, his thoughts became frighteningly clear, and a vast and astonishing blueprint slowly unfolded from his mouth:

"The selected 'Dragon Shadow' reserve members, after completing hellish special training in China..."

"We will conduct a combat exercise with the country's elite special forces."

"After that, I will contact Baroque, the leader of Hellfire."

"Secretly transport these team members to the Hellfire Mercenary Group's core training base located overseas!"

"There, they will undergo the most brutal, real, and bloody mercenary-style training!"

"Then--"

A fierce flame ignited in Zeng Linglong's eyes:

"In the name of the Hellfire Mercenaries, under the leadership of veterans like Ye Feng and Qi Liang..."

"Deploy them directly to the global mercenary battlefield! Deploy them to the most chaotic, dangerous, and lawless regions!"

"Fight in real war! Grow on the edge of life and death! Become stronger through the tempering of blood and bones!"

His voice, like the resounding beat of war drums, was awe-inspiring.

"Put down your guns, and they can be the most ordinary citizens of China."

"But pick up a gun—"

"They must be... the sharpest fangs guarding the Dragon Kingdom! The coldest killing machines! The most loyal guardians of darkness!"

"This kind of 'Dragon Shadow'... is exactly what I want!"

"hiss--"

After hearing this magnificent yet ruthless plan, General Liu couldn't help but gasp!

But his eyes suddenly burst forth with an incredibly bright and excited light!

You can imagine!

If things really go according to Zeng Linglong's plan...

This unit, named "Dragon Shadow," will no longer be a special forces unit in the conventional sense.

They will transform into "ghosts," scattered across every turbulent corner of the world.

They might be infiltrating a mercenary group, or they might be moving among dark forces around the world.

Normally, they are "non-existent".

Once the country needs it, upon receiving instructions...

They will emerge silently from the shadows of the world like the most precise "Dongfeng Express," delivering a fatal blow to the enemy! Then they will disappear back into the darkness without a trace!

Scattered, like countless stars in the sky, they monitor the world, waiting for their chance to strike.

When gathered together, it becomes a thunderous divine punishment, sweeping away everything in its path!

"Dragon Shadow"...

Zeng Linglong interpreted this name...to the fullest extent!

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

General Liu was so excited that he said "good" three times in a row, and couldn't help but step forward and pat Zeng Linglong's right shoulder heavily:

"Xiao Long! The nation...thanks to you! The army...thanks to you!"

His eyes even felt a little hot.

"You're still injured... but your heart is already set on a journey thousands of miles away, a century-long plan to safeguard the nation's borders!"

General Liu took a deep breath, forcibly calming his agitated emotions, and looked intently at Zeng Linglong:

"I know you have...another trump card."

"The intelligence network led by the former Kingsman agent... that spans the globe."

"You also have an overseas company that mainly deals in arms and strategic resources, which serves as a logistical and financial support."

He counted them one by one, becoming more and more alarmed and excited with each count:

"Combined with your plan for 'Dragon Shadow'—we now have a frontline Ghost Warrior."

"We now have a globally-covering, highly sensitive 'eyes and ears' (intelligence network)."

"We have readily available 'ammunition' and 'supplies' (arms companies)."

"Furthermore, your unparalleled reputation and influence in the international mercenary world, as well as the Dragon Return Squad members' established networks within various dark forces... provide perfect cover, transportation, and logistical support!"

"Favorable timing! Favorable location! Favorable human relationships!"

General Liu's voice trembled slightly with extreme excitement.

"Little Dragon...you have it all!"

"Hahaha!"

He couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter filled with boundless anticipation and confidence for the future:

"The country really made the right choice this time!"

"You are unique! You are irreplaceable—the creator of 'Dragon Shadow'! The wielder of the Dragon Kingdom's Dark Blade!"

General Liu gripped Zeng Linglong's hand tightly, his gaze burning like a torch:

"We old folks...are so excited!"

"I can't wait to see... the day when 'Dragon Shadow' truly emerges, becoming the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all enemies!"

Inside the ward, the lights remained a cold, white.

But an invisible, overwhelming force, powerful enough to change the future landscape, had already emanated from Zeng Linglong's calm figure—

It soared up with a roar!

And its sharpness...

It is destined to illuminate the deeper darkness of the future and the more intense journey of blood and fire!
