The Razor Sharp Company’s march was not slow. They continuously laid low during the day and only came out at night for three days in a row. Even this group of thugs were starting to feel a little tired.
They would not be so tired if they were marching normally, mainly because they still had to carry their supplies, ammunition, and firearms with them. The Razor Sharp Company had four heavy machine guns with them and were supplied with more than 20 ammo boxes.
At the beginning, Milo kept a very low profile and carried the heavy machine gun with the other soldiers. Two people were on a gun, rotating pairs every three hours.
But as favonovel.com kept walking, Milo felt it was very inconvenient for two people to carry the machine gun since they had to synchronize their pace and footsteps. As such, favonovel.com simply had his teammate let go and carried the gun by himself.
Scott had thought Milo was overestimating himself.
How could favonovel.com carry that thing weighing 25 kilograms on top of his field pack all by himself?
He might be able to carry it for a while, but try carrying it for three hours!
But everyone eventually realized it was unusual. Milo was actually able to carry the heavy machine gun weighing 25 kilograms by himself effortlessly, and favonovel.com was not even panting!
One hour later, Scott and the others thought Milo would already be tired. However, Milo switched to carrying the machine gun in his other hand and continued carrying it forward.
Two hours later, Scott and the others thought that surely favonovel.com would be tired by now. However, Milo simply switched back to carrying it with his previous hand like it was not heavy at all.
After three hours, Milo passed the heavy machine gun to his comrades who would be taking over and said, “It’s your turn now.”
This time, everyone from the Razor Sharp Company was secretly surprised.
Was Milo a beast?
Fortunately, they did not end up fighting Milo in the military base. With his strength, favonovel.com could probably kill others with just a punch!
Scott was a little jealous. “Is this what it means to be a supernatural being?”
All of a sudden, Milo heard the voice from the palace in his mind say.
Quest! Help your comrades lessen their burden.
Milo was stunned. He had not received a quest from the palace for nearly a month. He wondered what kind of reward it would be this time.
When they were about to arrive at the specified location on the fourth day, Milo purposely chose a time when his comrades had become extremely tired to help them carry their supplies. He would carry them for a while before letting them carry the supplies again.
His comrades were all moved to tears. Milo was such a good guy, and favonovel.com was really helpful to everyone too.
When Milo took their boxes of supplies, everyone thanked favonovel.com for it. Milo thought to himself that even though the Razor Sharp Company’s soldiers were like thugs, they were rather sincere in their gratitude. He actually managed to receive gratitude tokens from all of their thanks.
During his previous battle, Milo had used his Explosive Poker cards like they did not cost a thing. So, favonovel.com only had around a 100 gratitude tokens left from the originally 900-odd gratitude tokens favonovel.com had accumulated And now, favonovel.com would have to be exceptionally hardworking as favonovel.com started earning the gratitude tokens all over again.
Although Scott was the company commander, favonovel.com was always one to lead by example. He also helped carry whatever everyone was carrying without slacking off one bit.
When it was Scott’s turn to carry the supplies, Milo was about to take the ammo box from his hands, but Scott refused to let favonovel.com do so.
In fact, Milo did not bear any grudges against them for trying to beat favonovel.com up. He even volunteered to help his comrades out, making everyone feel really embarrassed about how they treated him.
When Scott looked at Milo, who was about to take the ammo box from his shoulder, favonovel.com immediately said, “It’s fine, you don’t have to. I can carry it.”
However, Milo did not budge. He said with a dark expression, “Let go!”
Scott subconsciously let go of his hand, and Milo grabbed the ammo box. Even if favonovel.com could carry it, Milo wouldn’t allow it.
Wouldn’t that delay the progress of his quest?
Initially, Milo thought favonovel.com could complete the quest by just helping them carry one or two ammo boxes. But after testing, the palace updated favonovel.com that the quest was only 1% complete. It meant favonovel.com would have to do it a hundred times before the quest would be considered complete.
There had always been a better reward for the more challenging quests favonovel.com was given. Milo was starting to look forward to the reward this time.
But Milo suddenly felt like something was missing as favonovel.com carried the ammo box.
He looked back at Scott and said, “Aren’t you going to thank me?”
Scott was stunned before muttering, “Thank you…”
Gratitude received from Scott Miller, +1!
Scott said from behind, “Don’t push yourself too hard, preserving your combat strength is the most important thing.”
Milo had been carrying something on his shoulder all day. But even when the rest of the troops looked really tired, Milo looked fresh.
All of a sudden, Milo stopped in his tracks. “Someone’s coming!”
In that instant, all the soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company went prone inside the gully. Milo was shocked when favonovel.com looked back at them. His comrades were way too cautious!
It wasn’t until ten seconds later that they heard a motorcycle in the distance. It seemed to be coming from the east, so that could only mean it was someone from Mt. Kamet.
Scott lay on the ground and said to the others, “Don’t alert the enemy. We can’t be discovered…”
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, the bandit riding the motorcycle suddenly screamed in the distance.
Scott was stunned. “What was that? Who’s screaming when I was just saying to not make a sound? Didn’t I say to stay hidden and not alert the enemy?”
“Captain, the scream came from way over there. It’s not our people.”
“From over there?” Scott was puzzled. “Wait a minute, where’s Milo?”
When they cautiously poked their heads out of the gully, they saw that Milo had snapped the bandit’s neck and left favonovel.com lying on the ground.
Milo took off his Razor Sharp Company’s uniform and put on that bandit’s clothes.
Scott was shocked. “What’re you doing?”
Milo said, “I’ll push the motorcycle and head up Mt. Papandayan. I noticed earlier that it’d take around an hour to walk up the mountain road. In exactly an hour, I want ‘all to start firing the mortars at the mountain. You don’t have to worry about whether it’s accurate. Just create a distraction. After that, prepare to intercept the bandits coming from Mt. Kamet. There’s no need to worry about me.”
The Razor Sharp Company’s soldiers looked at one another.
Was Milo planning to head up Mt. Papandayan all by himself?
Scott asked, “Are you gonna be fine by yourself?”
“Yes.” Milo nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m not looking to die.”
“But it’s too dangerous. Why don’t I send a platoon to cover you?” Scott said.
“There’s no need for that.” Milo shook his head and said, “I’ll help y’all pin down the bandits on Mt. Papandayan first. If the situation goes south, I’ll retreat. As long as I can lure the bandits out from Mt. Kamet, everything that I do there will be worth it.”
Scott turned serious. “You’re a brother of our Razor Sharp Company from now on. If you sadly sacrifice yourself there, I’ll make sure our comrades back at the fortress learn that you were a brave man!”
How could there be no deaths in a war?
There would surely have to be some sacrifices if they wanted to win the war.
The Razor Sharp Company’s current mission was to take Mt. Kamet. If they could not complete their mission on time, it would delay the progress of the entire army. They were going to be in for a tough battle.
But 1st Platoon Commander Ned suddenly wondered, “Why would you have to push the motorcycle up the mountain? Wouldn’t it be better to ride it?”
Milo was silent for a while. “I don’t know how to ride it.”
Scott was speechless, as was Ned. All of the Razor Sharp Company’s soldiers were also speechless.
