364 The Life of a Suicide Squad

However, Shangguan Yun immediately cursed himself for being petty. A young woman was drinking here without any inhibitions, and he, a grown man and the commander of the Tiger Guard Army, was still so fussy.

Surely I can't subdue a mere Foundation Establishment stage girl with my strength? Hehe... Don't worry too much!

After enjoying the good food and wine for a while, everyone started to relax and unwind.

Zhu Hanhua, a robust man of over eight feet tall, swayed as he stood up and said loudly, "Gentlemen, we all sincerely pledge our allegiance to the Tiger Guard Army today, and are at the command of our commander. Let us raise a toast to our commander to express our sincerity..."

“That’s right…that’s exactly how it should be, Commander, please…”

Everyone raised their glasses.

Shangguan Yun laughed heartily, stood up, and drank a cup with everyone, indicating that they should not be reserved.

"Gentlemen, the Tiger Guard is inclusive and open-minded. Shangguan Yun is not a narrow-minded person. Since we are all cultivators, we don't need to follow the rules of the military in everything we do."

If you have any needs, or if you have any special skills you'd like to utilize, please feel free to let me know. I can make arrangements and provide convenience as appropriate..."

"Well... Commander, we don't have any special requirements. Since we've come to the Tiger Guard Army, we should strictly follow military regulations."

But modern warfare uses firearms. Even if we have some martial arts skills, we can't utilize them effectively amidst gunfire and thousands of troops. This...

"Hehe, I just wanted to ask you for a favor. Could you please ask Captain Zheng not to assign us to the suicide squad? We're still young, sob sob..." Wang Xueli looked at the group and said with a bitter face.

Zheng Xin, who was standing nearby, immediately jumped up and started chasing after Wang Xueli to hit him.

"Alright, now that the commander is standing up for you, you've all gotten bolder, haven't you? Trying to rebel...?"

"No, no, big sister... stop hitting us! We... we'd rather lead the charge, we don't want to be a suicide squad, it's too damn dangerous!"

"Fine, Zhao Guangyu, you've rebelled too! I'll teach you a lesson..." Zheng Xin started to rage, and the tent was thrown into chaos.

Shangguan Yun was speechless, thinking to himself that women are really scary. How could such a beautiful girl be so tyrannical? Luckily, she's not my wife, hehe!

"Ahem...everyone...um, Young Hero Zheng...stop for a moment, I have something to say...stop..." Shangguan Yun's roar was laced with a hint of mental pressure.

The situation was finally brought under control. Zheng Xin stopped what she was doing, glanced at Shangguan Yun, and then sat down to drink in a huff.

"Thank you, Commander... I can never repay your kindness... You saved a bunch of poor kids..."

Everyone straightened their clothes and sat together to keep warm.

Shangguan Yun waved his hand. "Actually, our Tiger Guard Army... uh, we don't have a suicide squad as a unit. Captain Zheng just wanted to keep you guys together to keep you in check, because he was worried you'd cause trouble for the ordinary officers and disrupt the normal training in the barracks. Right, Captain Zheng..."

Zheng Xin, who was standing next to her, snorted and didn't say anything.

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and their eyes lit up with joy.

Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "None of you are ordinary people. You should know that in this world, there may not be one cultivator with spiritual roots among 100,000 people."

"You suddenly gathered ten people and showed up at the Tiger Guard Army's headquarters. Anyone would think twice, so you really can't blame Captain Zheng. He only did this because he was concerned about the safety of the Tiger Guard Army..."

Zheng Xin, standing to the side, was taken aback. A hint of smugness flashed in her eyes as she looked at Shangguan Yun. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and tossed a peanut into her mouth.

"However, with your abilities, it would be a waste of your talents to lead troops into battle. My Tiger Guard Army does not lack generals who can charge into battle, but it does lack a special team."

Since you mentioned protectors before, I think your existence should revolve around this function.

"The military academy's training team is just for you to get some experience; it doesn't have any special significance. But I have some tasks and positions here that are very suitable for you," Shangguan Yun said with a smile.

The expressions on everyone's faces kept changing. They thought to themselves that it still had a bit of a suicide squad feel to it, but they all nodded deeply, indicating that they agreed with Shangguan Yun's statement.

"Um... Commander, are you worried about your personal safety and want to hire some bodyguards, or..." Li Song asked tentatively.

Shangguan Yun shook his head. "I would like to, but with your cultivation levels... sigh! Besides, I really don't need any bodyguards. In this land beyond the Great Wall, there aren't many people who can hurt me..."

Everyone blushed, and Zheng Xin muttered something under her breath, but she rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun smiled slyly, "Their role is similar to that of a suicide squad..."

Everyone shuddered, glancing fearfully at Zheng Xin, who was laughing so hard she was doubled over, and wiped away a cold sweat.

Zheng Xin was almost dying of laughter, pointing at the group and clutching her stomach, "Well... that wasn't my opinion! Look... you guys are all daring suicide squad material, aren't you... hahahaha..."

Everyone's faces darkened, and they complained bitterly.

They were hoping the commander would take charge of things for them, but it seems this new mission isn't looking too promising!
