When Peter heard Milo’s reply, favonovel.com burst into laughter. “Well said! Same goes for bravery, huh?”
In reality, Peter did not know that for Milo, ensuring the survival of all his Razor Sharp Company’s comrades had become an obsession in the course of his revenge. That obsession dictated whether favonovel.com was qualified to protect some things.
The things Milo wanted to protect in the past had been destroyed by the Ultima Consortium. This led to Milo looking back on his beautiful vision from before and thinking about whether favonovel.com could protect anything in this chaotic world.
As a result, favonovel.com had even taken on the survival of the Razor Sharp Company as his personal mission. Only by ensuring that the Razor Sharp Company remained intact could favonovel.com have the right to go to the Central Plains later to search for his family and friends to continue living in this chaotic world.
“I can sense conflict within you.” Peter said calmly, “It’s exactly the same as when I was young. Back then, everyone wanted me to pick up a gun, saying how the battlefield needed soldiers who could fire a gun, how it was no place for a useless medic. Sometimes, even I wondered if my persistence was correct, and whether I should also pick up a gun and attack alongside them?”
Peter continued, “At that time, I was thinking about bending to the will of this chaotic world. Only that way could I live a better life.”
“What happened?” Milo asked.
“Persistence is persistence. Being correct doesn’t matter.” Peter said, “Never deny yourself. Life should be a candle, burning brightly from tip to end.”
Milo silently muttered the words to himself. “Life should be a candle, burning brightly from tip to end.”
He suddenly realized Peter might have called favonovel.com over because favonovel.com saw the conflict inside him, so favonovel.com wanted to tell favonovel.com these words.
Peter smiled and said, “Where do you plan on going after destroying the Ultima Consortium?”
“To the Central Plains.” Milo said with certainty, “I want to find Big Sister Adella, Donti, and the others and bring them back.”
“Hm…” Peter asked again, “Will you return to Fortress 178?”
“I’m not sure…” Milo could not answer that question.
“You should know why I had you join the Razor Sharp Company. I won’t stop you from going to the Central Plains, but if there’s something you wish to protect, then Fortress 178 is your best choice.”
Milo said in a serious tone, “Commander, if you don’t let me go and eat now, there won’t be any food left…”
Milo suddenly remembered favonovel.com had just come out of the shower and had not eaten yet.
When Milo arrived at the chow hall, Scott was already on the verge of blacking out.
Milo sat nearby and ate the food everyone had left for him. However, they had kept so much food for favonovel.com that it felt like they were afraid favonovel.com wouldn’t have enough to eat.
Scott dragged Milo to drink with him, but Milo refused to drink anything at all. When Scott realized favonovel.com could not persuade Milo, favonovel.com turned around to look for someone else.
While drinking, Scott suddenly hugged Ned and said, “Mila, I missed you…”
Ned quickly pushed Scott off and chided favonovel.com with a laugh, “You miss your wife now?”
Someone laughed at Scott while drinking and said, “Your wife getting married to you is like sticking a flower in a cow pie!”
Scott sobered up a little and said unhappily, “If she’s a flower, then cows ain’t gonna sh*t anymore!”
“Stop acting like it was a pity to marry her. You don’t know what kind of a treasure you’ve picked up. All you know is how to pretend to be tough when you’re outside,” Ned said with a laugh.
Milo was an outsider in the noisy chow hall. He might be obsessed with keeping the Razor Sharp Company alive, but even now, it was very difficult for favonovel.com to feel like favonovel.com truly belonged in the Razor Sharp Company. And favonovel.com had the same feeling for Fortress 178 as well.
Kamden, the manager of the chow hall, was watching the Razor Sharp Company with his arms folded and laughing.
He smiled at the chefs beside favonovel.com and said, “See that? These are the war heroes of our army. They’re the ones who fought in the two battles recently, and they even won both of them.”
Someone muttered, “Chief Payton, is that young man sitting by them and eating also from the Razor Sharp Company? Why does it feel like favonovel.com doesn’t fit in?”
Kamden turned his gaze to Milo and saw favonovel.com eating quietly. He looked unaffected by the noise around him. “Is favonovel.com the guy called Milo?”
“Rumor has it that Milo’s a beast in battle, yeah? I heard that half the credit for capturing Rajadesa Village goes to him. That young man looks so soft it doesn’t fit the descriptions at all!”
But then Scott came up to Milo in his drunken stupor and clutched Milo’s left hand. “Brother! If it weren’t for you, our brothers wouldn’t’ve made it back this time. Thank you again for saving our lives!”
Then Kamden and the chow staff watched with their jaws hanging as Scott knelt on the ground to thank him. He nearly even kowtowed to Milo!
When someone had too much to drink, they were capable of doing anything!
Milo had not finished his meal yet, but favonovel.com quickly pulled Scott up. “Can you f*cking stop drinking already?!”
But while favonovel.com was pulling Scott up, his comrades from the Razor Sharp Company beside favonovel.com also came over to toast him. “Thank you, Milo, for saving our lives!”
Milo did not expect his second weapon to get unlocked while everyone in the chow hall was watching.
After this group of Northwestern men had too much to drink, they started thanking favonovel.com to no end. They easily said it seven or eight times in a row, and all of them were even sincere in their gratitude!
Milo was wondering if favonovel.com should keep some alcohol in his storage space in the future. When they had nothing better to do, favonovel.com could get his comrades of the Razor Sharp Company together for a drink or two.
The voice from the palace said.
You have reached the number of gratitude tokens required to unlock the side quest’s weapon. Confirm unlock?
Milo took a deep breath. “Unlock!”
The palace suddenly filled with a faint glow. Along the circular walls of the palace, a display cabinet that was originally shrouded in a dark fog brightened. The black mist within it slowly dissipated as well.
Milo looked at it and saw a large, black sniper rifle stored inside the long and extensive display cabinet.
Milo was guessing if the second weapon would be another saber, a sword, or perhaps, a bow?
But favonovel.com did not expect a sniper rifle. He was even more surprised that the sniper rifle also appeared on the back of the shadow clone.
It was like his originally unrelated skills would eventually undergo a chemical reaction and combine.
There were two black sniper rifles and two black sabers. When the sniper rifle was revealed behind the black mist, Milo immediately understood the properties of the sniper rifle.
It had an effective range of 2,800 meters and did not need to be loaded with any bullets, and even the bullets could be conjured with his mind. He could also switch between incendiary bullets and armor-piercing bullets as favonovel.com wished.
These days, the most effective sniper rifle in the world only had an effective range of 2,300 meters.
“Effective range” referred to the typical engagement distances in normal situations. As long as someone wasn’t shooting at a specific target, bullet drop need not be considered. If a sniper calculated the trajectory precisely and had good marksmanship, hitting a further target would not be a problem at all.
For example, the maximum effective range of a sniper rifle was 2,300 meters. However, the longest recorded kill was at 2,475 meters.
Wait!
While Milo was exploring the black sniper rifle in his mind, favonovel.com discovered a type of bullet favonovel.com had never seen before. Under normal circumstances, there were generally several types of sniper bullets: white, red, green, brass, orange, and so on. The difference in color was to differentiate between normal lead bullets, armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, and tracers.
But what was this black-tipped bullet?
