"You!"
"Alright, enough arguing. Now isn’t the time to discuss these things."
Lin Beichen looked at the four elites he had personally selected, showing a helpless expression. Although he already guessed that bringing them out on their first mission would make them eager to perform, he hadn’t expected the competition to reach this level.
In reality, this was Lin Beichen’s lack of understanding of soldiers. These soldiers frequently proved themselves to their families by constantly completing high-difficulty tasks. Therefore, even without Lin Beichen, they would strive to take on such tasks with all their might.
Upon hearing Lin Beichen’s words, the four instantly quieted down. As his subordinates, they naturally had to obey their superior’s orders without question.
After all, obeying orders is a soldier’s highest duty!
"Gale, you’re responsible for the outer sentries!"
Hearing Lin Beichen’s words, Gale’s face showed a prideful expression.
"Rainstorm, you handle the internal sentries!"
"Promise to accomplish the task!"
Rainstorm grinned, revealing his two rows of gleaming white teeth, smiling joyfully.
"As for Electric Flash and Lei Ming, you two come with me to capture the people inside!"
Upon hearing Electric Flash and Lei Ming’s assignment, the joyful expressions on Rainstorm and Gale’s faces instantly vanished.
They initially thought being assigned the sentry tasks acknowledged their abilities, but being able to follow Lin Beichen to complete the mission was the most crucial opportunity to showcase their skills.
Seeing the slight disappointment on their faces, Lin Beichen smiled lightly in his heart, but he pretended not to notice and waved his hand. The four immediately followed the directions Lin Beichen had just given and headed to their respective areas.
Naturally, this was all intentionally arranged by Lin Beichen. His thoughts were simple—it was essential for them to understand that only the tasks he assigned were what truly mattered. They couldn’t just do whatever they wanted.
Lin Beichen had no doubt about the loyalty of Dragon Country’s soldiers. However, the more elite the soldiers, the more peculiar their temperaments were. In order to perfectly control them in the future, certain methods had to be employed.
But Lin Beichen’s thoughts hadn’t escaped Lei Ming. Among the four, Lei Ming progressed the fastest, which indicated he was more adept at using his mind.
Even knowing Lin Beichen’s intentions, Lei Ming felt no dissatisfaction but rather great admiration. In his eyes, if Lin Beichen relied only on formidable combat power without any strategic depth, he wouldn’t earn his respect.
With Lin Beichen leading the way, Electric Flash and Lei Ming arrived outside the target courtyard. Since Gale and Rainstorm had already dealt with the outer sentries, they had a five-minute window of opportunity.
"Remember, you two only have five minutes to take care of the people inside."
Lin Beichen’s gaze turned to Lei Ming and Electric Flash, showing rare seriousness. Just as they were about to act, Lin Beichen stopped them.
Confused, the two looked at each other, and Lin Beichen continued.
"My requirement is that you do not use any moves you learned in the army. You can only use the powers you have comprehended. Even if that power is small, you must incorporate it into your moves. If you can’t handle the enemies within the stipulated time, I will step in!"
When saying the first part of this sentence, Lin Beichen’s face showed a hint of seriousness. However, when he mentioned the latter part, he revealed a playful smile.
Sure enough, upon hearing the latter part, Electric Flash and Lei Ming exchanged glances, their eyes becoming incredibly resolute.
This remark seemed like Lin Beichen was comforting them not to be overly stressed, but thinking deeper, wasn’t it also a slight on their abilities?
They were elite soldiers selected through rigorous processes, typically the ones guiding others in combat. Being spoken to like this by Lin Beichen ignited their fighting spirit.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Lin Beichen smiled contentedly in his heart. This was the result he wanted to see.
"Who are you two!"
The events that followed left Lin Beichen showing an incredulous expression!
In Lin Beichen’s eyes, these four were elite soldiers among elites. Stealth infiltration or delivering an incapacitating strike should be second nature to them.
However, these two, instead of sneaking in, openly appeared in front of the enemies. What happened not only left Lin Beichen flabbergasted but also stunned the small fries inside the courtyard.
And what followed further refreshed Lin Beichen’s understanding. The moment those small fries were dazed, Electric Flash and Lei Ming launched their attack.
Electric Flash had comprehended the element of wind, granting him incredible speed. Within just a breath, he covered the five to six meters distance to the nearest small fry, instantly appearing behind them.
Before the enemies could react, Electric Flash delivered a punch to the back of their neck, swiftly disabling them with a single move.
