Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 375 - 363: Astounding Battle Achievements, Commendations and Praise from the Demon Extermination Army Headquarters! Coveting and Pressuring to Poach from Allied Forces

Chapter 375: Chapter 363: Astounding Battle Achievements, Commendations and Praise from the Demon Extermination Army Headquarters! Coveting and Pressuring to Poach from Allied Forces

Over the past month, Chu Feng had swept through a total of 11 Demon Clan camps.

He virtually cleared all the nails hammered by the Demon Clan within hundreds of kilometers around the Far East Defense Line!

This not only won a great deal of military merits for people like Secretary Wang, the Staff Department, the Logistics Manufacturing Department, and also for the ordinary warriors who assisted with the mopping up and garrison duties.

It also significantly compressed the living space of the Demon Clan, greatly expanding the strategic maneuvering room for the Far East Defense Line!

This was a major victory that could affect the local situation on the Eastern battlefield; even the headquarters of the Demon Extermination Army heard about this and sent a commendation order through the Eastern War Zone to the Far East Defense Line.

Almost everyone at the Far East Defense Line received commendations, and key figures like Lin Zhong and Chu Feng received special recognition.

Even a senior officer at the headquarters gave a considerably high appraisal—

He said Lin Zhong "had the insight to recognize talent, and the ability to use people effectively," and he evaluated Chu Feng as "a warrior worth a hundred thousand battle-hardened soldiers"!

When these words came out, naturally there were many who were dissatisfied and unwilling to accept them, but the achievements made by Chu Feng were glaringly evident before their eyes, silencing any objections.

The number of martial artists in the Eastern War Zone is well over a hundred thousand; counting the Senior Warriors stationed at the frontline, at least four to five groups of a hundred thousand could be formed!

However, each unit and group had their own enemies to deal with and pressures to face, and soldiers could not be mobilized at will.

Moreover, large-scale mobilization needed to be avoided to prevent hurting the sensitive nerves of the High-rank Demon Clan, triggering the rage of brainless Demon Beasts, provoking unnecessary disputes, and causing the situation on the battlefield to spiral out of control.

Therefore, for the time being, the Eastern War Zone really couldn’t spare a hundred thousand valiant warriors to sweep away the nails of the Demon Clan in the area.

...

But the situation was entirely different when Chu Feng took action with his sharp and efficient, scalpel-like precision in combat, which could be described as stunning.

He would secretly infiltrate behind enemy lines, release specially-made toxins, eliminate enemy leaders, slaughter the remaining Demon Beasts, and call for the military to cleanse the area...

Not a single Demon Clan camp survived the increasingly refined process.

Most importantly, it all happened silently; as long as he didn’t reveal his identity, it was unlikely to arouse the hostility and fury of the Demon Clan, nor would it trigger large-scale conflicts—

With no perpetrator to be found, at whom could they direct their anger?

It was not until about ten days ago that abnormalities in the first camp were discovered by the Demon Clan, and the news began to spread to other camps.

In the process of transmitting messages, other annihilated camps were gradually exposed, attracting the attention of the High-rank Demon Clan and causing panic among the lower-ranked Demon Clan.

According to frontline reports, the Demon Clan is nearly driven mad now, with core control areas continuously sending out envoys. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Despite being cut down by Human Race Warriors, they still sent out High-rank Demon Clan messengers, attempting to thoroughly investigate the incident.

But unfortunately, Chu Feng’s actions were very clean, rarely leaving any survivors.

And the warriors of the Demon Extermination Army were even more professional in cleansing the land, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Moreover, in places suitable for garrison, the Demon Extermination Army sent out warriors to garrison and expand the actual control area.

In places unsuitable for garrison, outposts were set up to monitor the Demon Clan’s every move. Upon sighting High-rank Demon Clan roaming about, they’d immediately call for experts to intercept and kill them.

Therefore, while the Demon Clan suffered heavy losses, they are still in the dark to this day, unable to find the exact culprit responsible for the slaughtering of their camps, only suspecting with high probability that it was the work of the Human Race.

Of course, one could guess as much with their toes; there was no need for speculation.

From this perspective, the evaluation of "a warrior worth a hundred thousand battle-hardened soldiers" was by no means an overstatement.

...

Commander Lin is now all smiles every day, and according to some unnamed Secretary Wang, sometimes he even laughs out loud in his sleep.

That’s because the actual control area of the region under Lin Zhong’s command has expanded by a full two-fold!

And within the territory, due to the excessive death toll of the lower-ranking Demon Beasts, lacking enough cannon fodder to resist the Human Race Martial Artists’ attacks, they had no choice but to contract their defenses, retreating to a place not far from the core control area.

This allowed the defensive lines under Lin Zhong and other commanders to connect seamlessly, filling the former gaps and creating a stable, vast rear.

Raising the pitch even higher, this could already be considered a feat of expanding territories and pioneering lands!

Privately, for this year’s military officer excellence awards, a slot was definitely reserved for Lin Zhong.

In public, this was a small step for Longhua People in reclaiming lost lands, at least worthy of inclusion in local annals!

However, with joys, there inevitably come certain annoyances.

Although Lin Zhong had long issued orders to classify Chu Feng’s existence, true battle record, and corresponding gains as top-secret information, not to be disclosed by anyone.

But his peers were no fools.

When they connected the dots that only Chu Feng had a record of annihilating camps and discovered that Chu Feng, who should have been wearing a mark of shame at the vanguard camp in the frontline, had actually been borrowed by Lin Zhong...

Wasn’t this as obvious as fleas on a bald head?

This string of significant events could only have been done by that kid Chu Feng!

...

Initially, when the Demon Extermination Army was dragged into a media war by the Academy Alliance, many military personnel were actually somewhat discontent with Chu Feng.

They considered this young man not only rash and rebellious but also completely unsuitable for military service.

More than one high-ranking military official had privately mentioned that if Chu Feng fell into their hands, he would undoubtedly be dealt with by military law the next day, with his head cut off and hung above the main gate.

But now, they had all changed their stance and were treating Chu Feng as a hot commodity.

Especially after seeing that Lin Zhong’s forces had effortlessly reclaimed vast territories and had pushed the defense line right up to the doorstep of the Demon Clan’s core occupied area...

They were practically salivating upon seeing Chu Feng’s photo!

Their eyes were red with desire!

"Chu Feng, the virtuous shall occupy your position!"

"You Lin Zhong, a junior, what right do you have to monopolize this treasure and not let go!"

Adhering to the mentality of "sharing the spoils," they had all gone mad, taking turns to pressure Lin Zhong.

They tried everything: discussing relationships, making deals, and displaying authority... All manner of tricks were aimed at Lin Zhong!

Although Lin Zhong rebuffed them all, with the prospects of a glorious future at stake, who would care about the opinions of a mere Deputy Commander from the Far East Defense Line?

They naturally kept up the pressure, even starting to poke at the higher-ups.

During this period, Lin Zhong, bearing a sense of indignance and defiance, kept slapping away the hands that his peers reached out.

At the same time, he personally urged Chu Feng to speed up the pace and make sure to eliminate all Demon Clan camps within his jurisdiction before leaving!

He had a deep understanding of how shameless his fellow colleagues could be.

If things dragged on for too long, they would certainly stoop to getting the military headquarters involved to snatch people away!

...

Sure enough, much to Lin Zhong’s anticipation and disappointment—

A month later, today, his boss’s boss, the First Deputy Commander of the Demon Extermination Army’s Eastern War Zone, a Hunyuan Realm powerhouse, Ji Min, personally contacted him.

Ji Min was a seemingly gentle little old man but there was an inexplicable air of authority about him.

"Little Lin..."

He began with a kind greeting, but Lin Zhong, this brash man, immediately stiffened his neck and yelled out, "Even if you remove me from my post, I will not let Chu Feng go!"

He planned to resist to the bitter end.

Ji Min didn’t get angry upon hearing his words but instead chuckled, "Little Lin, you’ve grown some backbone, daring to talk back to me now?"

"..."

Lin Zhong shrank his neck back in submission, muttering, "Commander Ji, keeping Chu Feng is for the good of our Eastern War Zone!

"Give him some more time, and this lad could sweep our rear clean!

"Then, we could free up all our fighting strength to send to the frontline to suppress the Demon Clan."

Ji Min smiled and said, "I know, how could I not understand? You’re my subordinate; your achievements naturally reflect on me. Why would I pressure you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhong’s complexion eased slightly. But then Ji Min sighed and said, "But this time, even I can’t withstand the pressure.

"My former superior, the First Deputy Commander of the Demon Extermination Army, has spoken. He told me to relay to you that someone has already taken the issue up with him.

"If you don’t let Chu Feng go now, someone will accuse you of misconduct for temporarily transferring a frontline felon and allowing him to move freely."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhong’s anger erupted violently as he cursed out loud, "Those shameless bastards!

"Back then, when asking them to help Chu Feng, only a few were willing to put in effort, all watching and laughing from the sidelines, speaking cold and mocking words!

"If it weren’t for the Dragon Speaker speaking up, that lad might have really ended up getting wrecked in there, doused with dirty water by those Noble Clans!

"Now that they see he’s useful, they have the audacity to come snatch him? Go snatch their grandma’s leg!"

Enduring a litany of swearing, Ji Min helplessly straightened his face and said sternly, "Alright, carry out the orders! Here are the orders:

"Following the decision made by the Demon Extermination Army’s Eastern War Zone Operations, Captain Chu Feng is assigned as a special envoy of the Far East Defense Line to rotate and participate in combat in the Eastern, Central, and Western War Zones, for a duration of three months."

Lin Zhong didn’t say a word and after a long while, he grumbled, "I have two conditions.

"If you don’t agree, I’ll cancel the loan transfer, and let Chu Feng go back to the front lines to risk his life, and nobody gets to use him!

"Aside from my command, he doesn’t listen to anyone else!"
