The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 477 - 218: Followers of Ye Hanjun_2

"Have you heard? The Eaglet Troop is disbanding!"

"What? How is that possible? That’s the unit led by Master Han himself. Without his consent, who would dare to disperse his forces?"

"No one else but Master Han himself proposed it. He seems to no longer want to stay at the border and plans to return to the inland..."

Walking through the barracks, the soldiers’ discussions rang out from time to time.

As the night fell, Ye Hanjun walked alone to a camp, activated the defense array with the jade card in his hand, and then entered by lifting the curtain.

"Master Han."

"Master Han."

Renwo Kuang, Wang Xinfei, Li Jingming, Su Mei, Dongfang Xu, Lin Pingfan... they all gave their salutes one after another.

They sat on the left side of the long table, in a line.

Hu Dai, Raspberry, Gu, Tiantian, Ironstone... The veterans of the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, and the veterans of the Hardwood Mercenary Group, stood behind them.

While on the right side of the table were He Wei, Gu Feizhou, followed by Dong Feng, Gu Miaoyu, Tan Ziping, Yan Xuehui, Huo Xin, Yu Yu, Linghu Fei, Ma Nongmei, Zhuang Wenyao, Feng Chunshi, Meng Lina and others.

"After today, there will be no more Eaglet Troop in Blue Frog Kingdom."

Ye Hanjun took a seat at the head of the table, and departed from his usual relaxed demeanor, stating sharp-edged:

"The other mentors, either stay in Blue Peak City, return to the academy, or turn back home ... They can’t continue to accompany us."

"You Jin, Jin Xiaohong, Yu Qingyan, Nian Feiming, Mao Leyue... These familiar classmates also for various reasons, cannot fight alongside us anymore."

"Here, regarding choices, I will not judge."

"Everyone has their own ties, maybe it’s family, perhaps it’s the country. These are different destinies for each person. As mentors, as friends, we should respect."

"But you, willing to give up the status as students of Canghai Pavilion, daring to risk charges, even prosecution from Blue Frog Kingdom, still choose to follow me."

"I’m also willing to promise that I will do everything I can to lead you to glory."

Inside the camp, everyone straightened up to listen attentively to him.

Ye Hanjun swept his gaze over everyone, leaving aside the disciples, the Hardwood Mercenary Group that had decided to join the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, as well as the Freelance Mercenary, Gu Feizhou."

The remaining old-time thrills, old and new talents... All had given more or less courage.

No command, no decree.

Just because of his decision, these people no longer stay at the border, they no longer abide by the compulsory draft order."

This behavior certainly won’t be accepted by the royal family of Blue Frog Kingdom, if they are labeled as traitors and ordered to be arrested, it is also within reason."

"Wars... are but games between countries."

"I am from the Blue Frog Kingdom, and I do love my country."

"But I do not feel that continuous fighting day after day can bring real peace."

"Following Master Han, I see hope while getting stronger."

Tan Ziping said solemnly.

Linghu Fei, Ma Nongmei, Zhuang Wenyao, all agreed with him.

Since the Five-Academy League, stepping into the borderland, standing on the battlefield, blood splashing, ruined lands, cold corpses... If one can’t handle psychologically, it would leave serious mental trauma."

Even many old soldiers are mentally and physically exhausted.

In the peaceful years, they never killed so many people, but in less than a year they had, this guilt, powerlessness, despair, perhaps they never mention it, but it hangs over the shoulders invisibly, becoming a shadow in their hearts that can’t be erased."

"There are too few therapists on the battlefield, and they can’t take care of everyone."

"After leaving Blue Peak City tomorrow morning, you can rest for a few days, then go to the Ghost Lotus Waterfall."

Ye Hanjun began to explain the matters to be aware of.

Undoubtedly, these old and new talents who have shed their student labels, would all join the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire.

Except for Huo Xin, they still don’t know that the one who steals fire is the former fire magician, Dongfang Xu."

But this doesn’t prevent them from knowing that the one who steals fire obeys the commands of Lord Han and follows the will of Master Han."

"Yes."

The crowd nodded, answering in unison.

...

Three days later, after having rested.

He Wei, Gu Feizhou, Renwo Kuang, Wang Xinfei, Li Jingming, Yan Xuehui, Huo Xin... All wearing the uniform of the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, they carefully rode various jade infant creatures on the journey.

Ten full days were spent on the road.

Without the protection of Sun Lin, Ye Hanjun had to slow down and raise his alert level to the maximum to prevent potential dangers.

Finally, after another five days, the group left Blue Frog Kingdom and once again came to a border area between Red Frog Country and Blue Frog Kingdom.

There is a nameless small town with some wandering mercenaries and mean thieves living in it. There were fights during the day, gambling at night, and the atmosphere was extremely poor.

Without disturbing them, Ye Hanjun led the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire to settle temporarily twenty li outside of the town.

"How are things?"

Under the deep twilight, lush vegetation grew wild everywhere, insects chirped, birds fell silent, nature’s harmony was fully manifested here.

A slim figure in white jumped straight down from a tree.

Her appearance was not stunning, but she had the beauty of an elegant, demure lady.

But she didn’t have a smile, her eyes were cold, colder than the lonely moon in the sky, as if no one could enter her heart and reawaken her emotional fluctuations.
