Volume 3: Rise of the God of War Chapter 577 One Month's Harvest
During this nearly one month, Li Jiu and his team members' lives were very monotonous. It could be said that apart from completing tasks one after another, there were no other activities. Even the time for rest was very little.
However, the rewards for this hard life are quite considerable.
During this period of time, on average every day, the team members can earn 50,000 to 60,000 merit points!
Before this last mission today, except for Bella, all other team members had been promoted to the rank of captain!
Even Bella, before this, already had more than 1.9 million merit points, and after completing this mission today, she will be able to earn 2 million merit points and be promoted to the rank of captain!
As for Li Jiu, he has now broken through the 5 million military merit points mark and been promoted to lieutenant colonel!
After returning, he planned to buy a quadruple gene enhancer to improve his physical fitness...
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Scar Brother’s current military merit points are already more than 2.8 million. He is only a few hundred thousand away from being promoted to the rank of major!
However, after discussion, everyone decided not to continue the mission.
Because, if everyone persists for a while longer and Scar Brother's rank is promoted to major and he becomes a level three fighter, it will be of great help to the Fifth Team in the city-level competition in the near future.
However, there are only three days left before the city-level qualifying tournament officially begins!
Within these three days, Li Jiu and his team must first rush back to the alliance, and then rush to the urban area of Shoushan City, which will take a lot of time.
Not to mention, after nearly a month of non-stop tasks, everyone is already quite exhausted both mentally and physically, and it requires some time to rest.
In addition, after returning, Li Jiu will also buy double gene enhancers for the team members and let them take them to adapt to the body speed of the second-level warrior for a period of time to achieve the best fit, which also takes time.
So, on the whole, there is not much time left for everyone. The team members can no longer stay in the Nordic battlefield and must hurry back to the alliance.
In addition to this, there is another very important reason. After nearly a month, the battle between the 3rd Legion's 8th Legion Base and the defenders on the beach not only did not end, but even became more and more intense!
When Li Jiu and his team first arrived here, the scope of the battle was mainly in the area between Egil City and the Northern Sea, and only a small area of Egil City was affected by the war.
But now, the flames of that battle have already spread to the entire city of Egil. The entire city has been completely reduced to ruins in this war. The tall buildings that originally remained in the city have now all collapsed and turned into rubble on the ground.
Apart from that main battlefield, the Third Legion and the Defenders' army launched fierce battles in various places across the Nordic continent.
Li Jiu vaguely felt that the purpose of this battle had changed from competing for the underground energy to a life-and-death battle in which both sides wanted to completely destroy each other!
As the war situation escalates, the mercenary group in this place has more and more missions, but the risks the mercenaries have to bear are also getting greater!
You never know when, on the way to the mission location, the mercenaries will unexpectedly encounter enemy forces!
In fact, Li Jiu and his team had unexpectedly encountered many small groups of enemies in several previous missions.
There was even one time when they encountered a large enemy force of several hundred thousand people, which made Li Jiu a little frightened...
For these unexpected enemy forces, if their numbers are small and their strength is not very strong, then Li Jiu and his team members may be able to kill them easily.
But if they encountered a large-scale force like that of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, Li Jiu and his men would naturally try to avoid them as far as possible once they discovered the enemy.
Enemy forces of that size usually don't have much interest in Li Jiu's six-man team. As long as Li Jiu and his team don't actively seek death, the enemies are too lazy to pay attention to them.
But no matter what, frequently encountering enemies on the battlefield is not a good thing for mercenaries.
After all, the role of mercenaries is like that of special forces in the virtual world. They are used to perform relatively secretive and critical tasks rather than fighting the enemy's large forces head-on.
Therefore, when mercenaries are on duty, secrecy is very important. Once they encounter the enemy, the purpose of the action is likely to be exposed, causing the risks that the mercenaries have to bear to soar exponentially.
It was for this reason that Li Jiu and his team members unanimously agreed that this battlefield was no longer suitable for everyone to stay for long, and it would be best to promote Bella's rank to captain and then return to the alliance as soon as possible.
"The goal of this month has been achieved. We can't let everyone take any more risks. It's time for us to go back." Li Jiu thought to himself, looking at the ragged team members beside him and smiled slightly.
"Captain, the C4 is about to explode, let's go." Scar walked over holding the golden M60, took a look at the C4 explosive pack placed by Bakus, and said with a smile.
"Well, let's go." Li Jiu nodded.
Afterwards, everyone walked out of the compound with smiles on their faces.
After completing this last task, everyone can return to the alliance, so the team members are all feeling a lot more relaxed.
When they reached the edge of the town, everyone stopped, turned around, and looked from afar at the enemy stronghold where the C4 was placed.
“Boom!”
A moment later, with a loud explosion, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly and dazzling flames burst out.
Immediately, the strong blast from the explosion flattened the entire enemy position like a whirlwind.
After confirming that the mission was accomplished, Li Jiu and his team smiled slightly, turned around and walked away, preparing to return to the No. 8 Legion base, and then take a transport plane back to the alliance.
"leave!"
But who knew, at this moment, a slight explosion suddenly sounded in the distance!
Just before everyone heard the voice, a blood-red hole suddenly appeared between Li Jiu's eyebrows!
A bullet, carrying a red and white substance violently, flew out from the back of Li Jiu's head!
