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?
