Chapter 960: Guard Team

Britannia Empire, northern border, Avalon Fortress, suburbs, Delan Undying Town.

Early this morning, all members of the Delan Immortal Team were summoned and asked to gather in the square of Immortal Town.

If all members are summoned to the square, there is usually only one situation - the leader needs to inform all members of the team if he has something to say.

Sure enough, after all the members of the Delan Immortal Team gathered in the square of Immortal Town, their leader stood on the high platform of the square and announced to them:

"Everyone! There is a new mission!"

After hearing the words "new mission", many people immediately cheered up.

Many people subconsciously thought that there was going to be another war.

Darlene frowned slightly, looked at the officer on the balcony, and thought to herself:

——New mission...Is there another war? Who are you going to fight this time?

In the past two years, Darlene has not changed much.

If there were any changes, it would be that the scars left during training have become more numerous, and the calluses on my hands have become more numerous and thicker.

During these two years, Darlene has been living a boring military life.

Except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, which are things that humans have to do every day, Darlene has almost only done one thing in the past two years.

That’s training, training, training.

The holiday system of the Delan Undead Corps is the same as that of other troops. It is a "rotation system", and a group of soldiers are given holidays in turn.

In the past two years, Darlene also took advantage of a rare long vacation to go back to her hometown to visit her parents.

After Darlene joined the army, their family's life has improved a lot thanks to her military salary.

Although they are not wealthy, their family no longer has to worry about food.

When many people, including Darlene, thought there was going to be another war, the commander's next words made them all breathe a sigh of relief.

"The two wives of the leader are going to the Imperial Capital, so we need our 200 people to be their escorts! Escort the wives of the leader to the Imperial Capital!"

As soon as the officer finished speaking,

Darlene felt a big stone in her heart fall to the ground.

——What, it turned out that I was escorting the captain’s wives to the imperial capital... I thought there was going to be another war...

Like Darlene, many people present felt like a big stone in their hearts had fallen to the ground.

After all, those who like to fight are only a very small number of lunatics with abnormal minds.

The vast majority of people are still happier to live their current life: train every day and get high military pay.

——Escort the leader’s wife to the imperial capital...

Darlene said secretly in her heart.

——This task feels really boring. Whoever wants to go can go. I hope I won’t be drawn.

Darlene is not alone. There are many people who have the same idea as her.

Escort mission—this kind of mission can be very boring just by imagining it.

It’s okay to be very tired, and the food you can eat every day will definitely not be much better. How can you be comfortable in Delan Immortal Town?

However, what the chief said next instantly changed everyone's negative thoughts.

"Because the wives of the captain will stay in the Imperial Capital for a while, those responsible for escorting the wives can have a good time in Pendragon for a few days after arriving in the Imperial Capital!"

As soon as the officer said these words, many people's eyes immediately lit up.

Darlene is no exception.

Although the Delan Immortal Team is the ace unit of the Michael Knights, most of them are actually a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world.

There are more than 2,000 people in the Delan Immortal Team, and not many of them have seen the bustling metropolis.

Of course, not counting Ariel.

Although the members of the Delan Undead Team had seen Ariel, the capital of the Holy Shiran Empire, during the "Aurora" offensive two years ago, Ariel at that time was no different from a ruin, with no trace of a metropolis in sight. The glory it deserves.

Among the Delan Immortal Team, the only people who had been to the Imperial Capital were the dozen or so people who had participated in the award ceremony two years ago.

Two years ago, Darlene had been depressed due to the shadow brought by the "Aurora" offensive. Therefore, Darlene, who was in a bad mood two years ago, was not interested in going to the Imperial Capital. After learning that she was defeated and had no chance to participate in the award ceremony, In the end, she didn't feel too sad.

But now two years have passed, and with the passage of time, Darlene has long since emerged from the shadow of the "Aurora" offensive.

After learning that this escort mission would give her the opportunity to spend a few days in the bustling imperial capital, Darlene's strong curiosity burst out of her heart.

To say that Darlene is interested in the prosperous Imperial City is definitely a lie.

Darlene came from a farmer's background in the north, so naturally she wanted to see what a prosperous city Pendragon was with a population of one million.

In just a few seconds, Darlene's mood changed like a sharp turn, from the original lack of interest in the escort mission to the current extremely interested one.

There are more than 2,000 people in the Delan Immortal Team, and the commander just said that 200 people will be selected from them to shoulder the escort task.

The commander then also stated the selection criteria for the escort team: only the 200 people who usually train the most seriously will have the opportunity to participate in this mission.

After learning about the selection criteria for the guards, some people showed pride, some showed disappointment, and some showed no expression.

These expressionless people were basically those who had no interest in going to the imperial capital.

And Darlene was one of the many people who showed pride.

Darlene was very confident - she never slacked off in her usual training, and she also practiced from time to time, so she thought she had a good chance of being selected.

Sure enough, when the officer read out the list of the selected candidates, Darlene's name was on the list.

After the names of the 200 selected candidates were all read out, it was natural that some families were happy and some families were sad. The selected ones were happy and encouraged, while those who were not selected were sad and hated themselves for not working hard and seriously enough in their usual training.

Although Darlene was also selected, it was a pity that Darlene's acquaintances and friends were not selected.

For example - Darlene's best friend in the army: Yara.

None of Darlene's acquaintances and friends were selected, which undoubtedly made Darlene feel a little regretful.
