Chapter 132 The transfer order was issued, and a torrential downpour began.
"What's the reason for this? Our team leader, Chen Muye, is also Black Impermanence, the 037th in the extremely high-risk Forbidden Ruins sequence... Besides, we don't have any objections, so why are you bringing this up again?"
"Keep your mouth shut, and don't cause any trouble during the oath-taking ceremony later!"
Baili Pangpang panicked, wanting to explain, "But..."
Lin Qiye pulled Baili Pangpang, who was getting a little agitated, and slowly said, "What's the big deal? We don't mind at all... Besides, this is just our guess. I don't even know where I'll be assigned! Who knows where Liu Lang heard this rumor from? Don't believe it."
“Yes, we’ve only ranked everyone based on their total scores so far… the higher-ups haven’t assigned us where we’ll be going yet! At the swearing-in ceremony the day after tomorrow, they’ll announce our assigned cities, and after we receive our Star Blades, cloaks, and medals, we’ll be separated,” Cao Yuan echoed.
Baili Pangpang shrugged and sighed, "If you weren't my friend, I wouldn't care about any of this!"
With your strength, you could easily have been assigned to the Beijing team, but now you're staying in Cangnan... There's simply no stage for you to showcase your abilities here; staying in Cangnan is just a waste of time...
I feel so sorry for you all!
"That's not necessarily true," Liu Lang said with a grin. "No matter where we are in the future, we'll always be Night's Watch... I think it doesn't matter which squad we join..."
.........
The afternoon hours seemed to be cooked thoroughly by the high temperature, and the whole world was shrouded in a dull and oppressive atmosphere.
All the new recruits gathered on the training ground, standing in neat square formations.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, piled up in layers, like a huge gray curtain slowly being unfurled.
The sky grew increasingly dark, and the clouds looked heavy, as if they were brimming with endless rain, ready to pour down at any moment.
However, despite the sweltering heat, the rain never fell; only occasionally did a cool breeze brush against the recruits' faces.
Instructors Yuan Gang, Hong Hao, and others stood on the training platform, looking at the Night Watch recruits standing straight below.
They all had serious expressions, and the naivety of a year ago was long gone.
Hong Hao took the leather belt from Yuan Gang's hand. "At ease! Attention!"
After shouting, he took out a document from the leather bag and slowly said, "Next, I will announce your respective transfer orders so that you can prepare in advance."
"Molly, Suzhou City Squad 017!"
"Lei Yingdian, Cangnan City 136th Squad!"
"..."
"Baili Tuming, 010 Team, Guangzhou-Shenzhen City!"
"......"
"Cao Yuan, 006 Squad of Shangjing City!"
"......"
"Shen Qingzhu, Huaihai City 007 Squad!"
"Liu Lang, Team 136, Cangnan City!"
"......"
"Lin Qiye, Squad 136, Cangnan City!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lei Yingdian's transfer order, and looked at Lei Yingdian in surprise.
Later, Liu Lang and Lin Qiye also joined Squad 136...
Everyone looked puzzled. Lei Yingdian, Liu Lang, and Lin Qiye were the three best performers in this recruit training.
The three of them ranked first, second, and third in total score.
Why would someone be transferred to a third-tier city like Cangnan?
Is there some shady dealing involved?
Some of the new recruits turned their gazes to the group of people who had gotten along best with Liu Lang and his two companions, to see their reactions...
However, they seemed not to hear it and continued to stand silently and upright.
Moreover, Lin Qiye was not saddened at all after hearing Instructor Hong Hao's announcement; instead, he smiled with satisfaction.
I don't understand it, I really don't understand it....
They all chose to remain silent, but there was one exception.
"Report!" Shen Qingzhu's voice rang out from the quiet crowd.
"speak!"
"I don't agree!"
"Why were Lei Yingdian, Liu Lang, and Lin Qiye, the top three, all transferred to Cangnan City? Also, there has never been a time before that so many reserve night watchmen were assigned to the same team at once! I, Shen Qingzhu, am not satisfied with this result!"
Before Hong Hao could speak, Yuan Gang, who was standing at the front of the group of instructors, slowly asked, "I know you're not convinced, but... you need to understand that this transfer order wasn't arranged by us instructors, but by the Night Watch's higher-ups based on your individual circumstances."
I am more puzzled, angry, and even feel sorry for the three best trainees from this training camp who were transferred to Cangnan City than you are!
However, a soldier's duty is to obey orders!
The transfer order has come down. We are the Night Watchmen, but we are also soldiers.
Every soldier must obey orders...
Although we don't know who issued the orders to transfer the three of them, I believe the Night's Watch leadership sees things much more clearly than we do.
They must have had their reasons for making these arrangements!
Yuan Gang looked around at the group of new recruits below, his eyes still filled with indignation, especially towards Shen Qingzhu. "That's all I have to say. Think about it yourselves... Your transfer orders will be issued shortly."
After saying that, Yuan Gang turned and left.
Hong Hao looked at the crowd's indignant eyes, snorted coldly, and said loudly, "All of you, put away your nonsense ideas. This is a decision made by headquarters after careful consideration."
That's it, let's disband!
Although everyone still had doubts, they dared not say anything more.
Shortly after Hong Hao finished speaking, large raindrops began to fall from the sky.
pat--!
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, followed by a dazzling bolt of lightning that streaked across the horizon, accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder.
Large raindrops fell heavily.
One drop!
Two drops,
Three drops.
In an instant, a torrential downpour began.
.......
"This rain is really heavy..." Liu Lang said, leaning against the dormitory corridor and looking out the window at the torrential rain.
Baili Pangpang wiped his hair, which had just been soaked by the rain, and said, "If it's going to rain, it should just rain. It's been hot all day, and it had to rain when we were outside. Now look what happened... we're all drenched."
"Let me correct you, you're the only one who got soaked to the bone..." Cao Yuan said quietly from the side.
