“Wait!” Milo suddenly turned around as favonovel.com was leaving.
Next to him, Miriam was taken aback. “What’s the matter? Are you wondering why no one is chasing after us?”
“No,” Milo said, “It’s only reasonable that they aren’t chasing after us. P5092 has accepted full blame in order to secure the Pyro Company’s future victory, so who would want their commander to go to jail over such an unfortunate matter? The entire Pyro Company knows that he’s actually a hero and not a criminal.”
“Then what’s wrong?” Miriam wondered.
“Gratitude!” Milo looked back at the Pyro Company’s base in the distance and said firmly, “The 7th Division hasn’t thanked me yet!”
Miriam was speechless.
In Milo’s opinion, favonovel.com could forget about the other divisions’ gratitude since favonovel.com did not personally save them. Even if favonovel.com were to ask them to thank him, it might not be sincere.
But the 7th Division was different since favonovel.com had risked his life to save them. Under such circumstances, how could favonovel.com possibly give up on earning those gratitude tokens and leave?
At this moment, the 7th Division’s commander, P5067, had just received news that P5092 had been abducted.
On the other end of the line was the voice of the 1st Division’s commander, “It’s actually a good thing that P5092 was taken away. If favonovel.com doesn’t leave, he’ll have to spend more than ten years in prison. No one wants to see that happen. When favonovel.com told us not to worry, we should’ve known that favonovel.com was going to bear all the responsibility by himself.”
P5067 sighed and said, “That’s right, we owe favonovel.com too much. After this war is over, I won’t have the dignity to continue being a division commander. I won’t even be able to walk with my head held high in front of my own soldiers when I used the freedom of another to secure my future.”
“I heard that the person who abducted favonovel.com also participated in this battle. I think he’s the one from the Northwest?” the 1st Division’s commander asked.
“Yes, it’s White Mask from the Northwest,” P5067 confirmed. “When 7th Division got ambushed by the barbarians in the battle, favonovel.com was the one who saved us. Speaking of which, you might not believe it, but favonovel.com was still in the mood to pick his ears when facing more than several thousand barbarians of the expeditionary army. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, it would be very difficult for me to imagine that such a powerful figure has already appeared in the world of supernatural beings. It’s no wonder he’s as famous as the Demon Whisperer. Moreover, favonovel.com used some unknown method to kill thousands of barbarians later. How extremely fearsome.”
“Fortunately, he’s from the Northwest, so we don’t have to make an enemy out of him. However, this is probably the first time someone’s dared to abduct a person from our Pyro Company’s base. If word gets out, he’ll probably become known as the best kidnapper in the world,” the 1st Division’s commander said.
P5067 nodded and said, “Yes, our goal is actually the same as the Northwest.”
But at this moment, a staff officer suddenly walked hesitantly into P5067’s command center. P5067 did not hang up. He wondered, “What’s the matter? Didn’t I tell you to go and rest?”
The staff officer said, “It’s like this, someone’s looking for you outside…”
“Who is it?” P5067 asked. He wondered who would come looking for favonovel.com at a time like this.
The staff officer answered, “It’s the person who saved us on the battlefield.”
“Huh?” P5067 gasped in shock and nearly choked.
Over the phone, the 1st Division’s commander’s voice rang out, “Is someone looking for you?”
“Yes,” P5067 said.
“Who is it?”
“The kidnapper…”
With that, P5067 hung up and rushed outside. Many soldiers had already gathered at the entrance of the military base to watch. P5067 frowned at the soldiers and said, “What are you all looking at? Disperse.”
“Don’t go!” Milo’s voice rang out, “I was just looking for them.”
As P5067 spoke, favonovel.com pushed through the crowd. He saw Milo carrying P5092.
P5067 would admit that favonovel.com was stunned for a moment when favonovel.com saw this sight. This kidnapper was way too bold.
The other party did not leave after abducting a person from the 3rd Division but came here to the 7th Division instead?
Wasn’t favonovel.com afraid favonovel.com would get taken out by the Pyro Company?
However, P5067 also understood that the other party was probably aware of their thoughts and knew no one would make things difficult for favonovel.com at this time.
P5067 said amiably, “How can I help you?”
As they spoke, everyone automatically filtered out P5092’s presence on Milo’s shoulder as though they did not see anything.
Milo chuckled and said, “Did you forget what I said earlier? I’m waiting for the 7th Division’s soldiers to thank me…”
P5067 had to admit that his mind went blank again.
This guy actually came to the 7th Division just so we could thank him?!
Are you crazy?!
What are you thinking?
Is it that important to be thanked?
Can you eat it?’
Milo gave favonovel.com a strange look. “Hurry up, I’m in a rush!”
P5067 explained patiently, “It’s like this… Most of our 7th Division soldiers have already gone to rest. It’ll take a while to wake them up at this time. Moreover, we could be in for a huge battle tomorrow. If we don’t let them rest up now…”
Milo smacked his lips. “Then just have those who aren’t resting yet to thank me.”
“Okay, Okay!” P5067 quickly ordered his adjutant to organize the troops.
Ten minutes later, favonovel.com said to Milo, “All the soldiers who aren’t resting yet are here now. Total strength: 1,091. Present strength: 1,091. Even the cooks are here too.”
Milo found it a little pitiful. This was not what favonovel.com had imagined. After all, there were still more than 5,000 soldiers left in the 7th Division. He had rushed back here because favonovel.com thought there would be 5,000 gratitude tokens for favonovel.com to earn.
He thought for a moment and said, “Then we’ll have everyone say three rounds of thanks to me.”
After that, more than a 1,000 soldiers stood in front of Milo and thanked favonovel.com in unison. For the first round, there was an increase of 1,091 tokens. For the second round, favonovel.com earned over 500 tokens. By the third round, favonovel.com only managed to get about 200 tokens.
The soldiers could not be blamed for being insincere. This situation was simply too bizarre, so they were unable to thank favonovel.com seriously.
Seeing P5092 still lying unconscious on Milo’s shoulder, they realized favonovel.com was totally unaware of what was happening here. Once favonovel.com woke up and found out about this, they wondered if favonovel.com would have the courage to face everything that was happening now.
Milo’s gratitude tokens shot up to 7,000 in total. Having lost interest, favonovel.com waved off the soldiers. “Alright, I’ll be leaving then!”
As P5067 watched Milo leave, favonovel.com realized that P5092 was probably going to be taken to the Northwest.
In truth, the Pyro Company’s impression of Fortress 178 was still very good. At the very least, both of them were tasked with protecting the Central Plains. And now that P5067 thought about it, favonovel.com felt it might not be a bad thing for P5092 to escape prison and head to the Northwest.
Moreover, Fortress 178 might be a better home for P5092 than the Pyro Company, which lacked human compassion.
But this young man was rumored to be the future commander of Fortress 178? Although no one knew where this news came from, favonovel.com thought it should be true.
The 7th Division’s commander recalled everything that had happened just now and muttered to himself, “Is it really alright for Fortress 178 to have a future commander like that?”
Another group of military policemen ran over. They looked at P5067 and asked, “Where are they?”
P5067 replied frankly, “They’ve left…”
The commander of the military police frowned. “How can you just let favonovel.com leave like that? He’s now a wanted criminal of our Pyro Company!”
P5067 rolled his eyes. “Go and arrest favonovel.com then. He can kill thousands of barbarians single-handedly. I’d like to detain favonovel.com too, but I’d have to have the balls to do that first!”
