1299 The Must Kill List!
Jarrod saw everything and paid more attention to Wang Teng.
Justus was captain commander of the Elite Guards. He was always by the side of the devil emperor and held a high status.
That amount of care meant that Wang Teng was seen in high regard.
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind as he asked politely, “What is your name?”
“Sir, my name is Justin.” Wang Teng said.
“Erm, your name… Are you serious?” Jarrod was stunned for a moment. He felt that there was something wrong with the name.
“I’m very serious,” Wang Teng replied solemnly.
“My apologies. I was just a little curious.” Jarrod shook his head. “Right, you don’t have to address me as sir. I’m just a small captain temporarily helping Jarrod manage Elite Guards’ matters.”
“Sure, Captain Jarrod,” Wang Teng replied.
The captain smiled with relief, seeing that Wang Teng didn’t disrespect him despite being admired by the higher ups. “I will gather everyone. You can select fifty of them to make your team.”
Soon after, he gathered all the devil armor apparitions in the open space; they lined up neatly.
Wang Teng looked at them and his eyes flickered. There were more than a thousand of them who were devil kings at least.
Based on Jarrod’s briefing, those apparitions were the elites of the whole Devil Armor Race. There were more of their ordinary kindred elsewhere.
That was quite a frightening number.
Besides, there were more apparitions from other races; their numbers wouldn’t be much lower in comparison. They were all gathered in their respective areas.
Wang Teng estimated the number of elite apparitions from all races and could come up with a rough number. His heart felt heavy with what he found.
So many!
There were too many apparitions gathered there!
Humanity was clueless about this. It would be a catastrophe if all of them appeared at the same time.
Furthermore, there was also that Dark Behemoth.
This implied that the creatures had a plan; they were definitely not having a picnic down there.
“Everyone, this is Captain Justin who has just been personally appointed by our Sir personally. If any of you wish to be part of his team, please step forward.” Jarrod’s voice pulled Wang Teng back to reality.
The group of elites exchanged glances and looked at Wang Teng while discussing softly.
“Sir appointed him personally. Is he from a noble family?”
“I know him. He fought a low-tier devil emperor out there, and they were evenly matched. He’s strong.”
“He was able to end in a tie. No wonder he was appointed as a captain.”
“I want to join Sir Justin’s team.”
“Me too, count me in.”
…
Soon after, there were several apparitions stepping out to express their interest in joining.
The process was smooth, and there was no dissatisfaction within the ranks.
Dark apparitions respected the strong, and Wang Teng’s strength left them with no doubts.
After all, many of them had seen him in action.
The strength to fight evenly with a low-tier devil emperor was not something to sneeze at.
Just like that, Wang Teng became a small captain of the Devil Armor Race’s Elite Guards, marking a successful infiltration into the enemy’s inner ring.
It took him less than half a day to make a name for himself amongst them. If General Cameron and the others knew about it… their eyes would have popped out of their sockets.
However, Wang Teng’s dark force would be exposed if they really found out.
After all, such an infiltration job wasn’t something doable with ordinary means.
By then, even if General Cameron didn’t act on it, others in the military would try their best to keep him lurking inside enemy ranks.
Years after years!
Wang Teng couldn’t help but shudder at the thought.
Night fell, but it didn’t make much difference in a forest shrouded by black mist. It was the time for dark apparitions to go out and hunt.
A large number of dark apparitions moved out to look for food.
On the other hand, the advanced-rank apparitions were still in the building. There wasn’t any movement.
Wang Teng took advantage of this opportunity, leaving a clone outside, hiding it well. It would deliver a message to headquarters during the day.
From the looks of it, he would have to stay among the dark apparitions for a while. General Cameron and the others could think he was dead already if no news were relayed.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Wang Teng spent that period in the dark apparitions’ nest. Aside from being sent out on patrol the second day, there was nothing else to do.
The devil mind apparition never showed up, as if having vanished completely.
