1247 Are You Sure?
Three candidates.
Everyone was surprised by the sudden withdrawal of one of the candidates.
The smile on Wang Teng’s face disappeared within a split second. No one noticed it.
General Cameron was attracted by this piece of news, so he didn’t notice Wang Teng’s expression either. If he did, he would guess that it had something to do with him.
Crofts went back to his seat silently after announcing the news. Although this fight had nothing to do with the Parkers now, it would be impolite and inappropriate to leave immediately.
Besides, Wang Teng was still one of the candidates.
The other candidate was the deputy regimental commander of the Tiger Strike Force, Huo Qiya. He was a favorable candidate.
It was still not confirmed if Wang Teng would get the commander’s position.
Crofts had the right to vote. He could vote for Huo Qiya and make some trouble for Wang Teng.
“Everyone, since Wendell has given up the chance to fight for the commander’s position, we will decide between Major Wang Teng and Colonel Huo Qiya,” General Cameron said after coughing to attract everyone’s attention.
No one had any objections.
Wang Teng scanned their surroundings. He finally knew why so many people were mobilized. It was to find the commander of the Tiger Strike Force.
General Darte had told him about this matter in the past, but Wang Teng didn’t think that it would happen so quickly. He thought that he had to wait for some time. Moreover, he was one of the candidates.
He blinked and understood why Wendell decided to act on his way back to the main base. It was for this.
Wendell knew his ability, so he had no confidence. That was why he chose to take the risk and find someone to get rid of him. If he succeeded, with the help of the Parkers, he would have an 80% chance of getting this position.
Brutal. Wang Teng snorted in his heart.
After experiencing all these situations, he understood how filthy and despicable these noble families were.
Never take any chances with them. Wang Teng warned himself.
“So based on what we have decided, Major Wang Teng and Colonel Huo Qiya will have a duel. The winner will be the commander of the Tiger Strike Force,” General Cameron continued.
“Duel!” Wang Teng was stunned. “Why are we using such a method to decide the commander’s position? This is like child’s play.”
“We have seen your resume. Both of you have pros and cons. That’s why we agreed to let your abilities be the deciding factor,” General Cameron explained. He understood what Wang Teng was thinking.
Wang Teng nodded in deep thought.
“Since there’s no objection, let’s head to the arena,” General Cameron said.
Wang Teng and Huo Qiya had no objections.
Everyone left the spacious hall and headed to the field.
The group attracted many people’s attention on their way. The martial warriors around them stopped walking and saluted, sending them off with their eyes.
“It’s hard to see these generals normally. Why are they together today?”
“Is there something happening?”
“Look, isn’t that the deputy regimental commander of the Tiger Strike Force?”
“It’s him. I heard that the commander of the Tiger Strike Force has been promoted. Are they competing for the commander’s position?”
…
The martial warriors around them discussed in low voices. They quickly found the reason behind the gathering and got excited. Hence, they followed the crowd.
Soon, they arrived at the field.
General Cameron and the others didn’t stop the martial warriors from looking on.
Watching a duel between powerful martial warriors was invigorating and could lift the morale of military martial warriors.
Also, this duel would decide who would be the commander of the Tiger Strike Force. Having more martial warriors as witnesses would help the winner in controlling the Tiger Strike Force in the future.
There were many arenas in one corner of the field. These were for normal duels.
Wang Teng and Huo Qiya stood opposite each other in an arena.
A pile of martial warriors was gathered around them. They were burning with excitement. However, many of them were unfamiliar with Wang Teng, so discussions were heard continuously.
“That’s Major Wang Teng, right?”
“Wang Teng? Major? Who’s that? I don’t know him.”
“I know, I know. I just came back from the third frontline. Major Wang Teng made a name for himself this time!”
“F**k, tell me more. How did he make a name for himself?”
“Come closer. I’ll tell you secretly.”
“What do you want to do? I’m not gay. If there’s something, tell me directly. Don’t whisper into my ears.”
Silence.
Weird conversations were heard occasionally. It sounded a little inappropriate, but Wang Teng’s achievements started spreading through the crowd like wildfire.
Many people widened their eyes in disbelief.
He helped General Darte from the third frontline kill a mid-tier devil emperor. Was it true?
Major Wang Teng seemed to be a celestial-stage martial warrior. How could a celestial-stage martial warrior threaten a mid-tier devil emperor? This sounded absurd.
Emotions were ignited after the news spread. The atmosphere became even more heated.
Some believed while others were in doubt. Discussions filled up the field. But as more and more people confirmed his achievements, the crowd started to believe it.
There was no point in hiding such matters. No one would make a joke about this, so the reliability was quite high.
The strong were always respected by the martial warriors. Everyone started to look at Wang Teng in a different light.
This young major looked like a formidable character!
Huo Qiya stood opposite Wang Teng. He didn’t know anything about Wang Teng’s abilities or achievements. Hence, when he heard that he was fighting for the commander’s position with a newbie who had only executed three missions, he got furious. He felt humiliated.
He had been the deputy regimental commander of the Tiger Strike Force for a long time and made many great contributions to the military. He was also extremely familiar with the troop.
By right, after the commander left, he was the best choice. He didn’t expect these two airdrops.
One was from the Parkers, so his background was powerful. He didn’t hear about the background of the other person, but he was a newbie. If he could have a place in this fight, it meant that his connections were not bad either.
He would stand on his hands if Wang Teng didn’t have any connections.
Huo Qiya couldn’t get over it.
When Wendell gave up his chance, he was surprised because he didn’t understand his decision. But at the same time, he was furious.
He came and left whenever he wanted. What did he treat the Tiger Strike Force as?
Huo Qiya had put a lot of effort into the Tiger Strike Force so he had strong feelings toward it.
That was why he detested Wendell and Wang Teng who treated the Tiger Strike Force as something to play with.
When he heard the discussions of the people below, he was stunned. How could a martial warrior who killed a mid-tier devil emperor be a newbie?
There seemed to be some misunderstanding!
What did he say just now? Did he say he would stand on his hands?
No, he didn’t say that.
Huo Qiya shook his head to clear his random thoughts. Since this young man was powerful, he mustn’t let down his guard. He couldn’t hand over the Tiger Strike Force to another person.
“I don’t care who you are or what background you have. The commander of the Tiger Strike Force can only be me,” Huo Qiya said to Wang Teng.
“So?” Wang Teng replied calmly.
“So, I will defeat you.” Huo Qiya stared at Wang Teng intently. “I’m at the seventh level of the cosmos stage, but my combat prowess is much higher. You’re only at the celestial stage. You won’t have a chance no matter what methods you use.”
“Are you sure?” Wang Teng smiled.
Seventh-level of the cosmos stage?
He just defeated three martial warriors at the peak of the cosmos stage. Furthermore, one of them possessed the Ultima. How was Huo Qiya compared to them?
