Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 756: The Vanguard Army Driven Away by the White Mist

Looking at Moose and Jasmine being taken away, Koda shook his head. He had no sympathy. He just looked at the head of the dark guard with a fiery face and coughed lightly, saying, "Um... Chief, do you think there is any chance for me to enter the Campbell Dark Guard?"

"Haha, of course. Our Campbell family has never rejected talents. As long as you can pass the assessment and screening, you can naturally become a Campbell secret guard. I can guarantee you this."

As Bai Hao's business grew bigger, the Campbell family began to be short of manpower, especially the Campbell Secret Guards. This secret agency was responsible for too much work.

Surveillance, stealth, espionage, assassination... Campbell's secret guards are needed in too many places.

Therefore, a few years ago, Bai Hao began to expand the Campbell Secret Guards and even implemented a unique "regularization and promotion system."

As long as they pass a simple assessment, ordinary people can directly become Campbell's secret guards, but they are just peripheral trainee members.

Afterwards, trainee members must accumulate merits, pass monthly, quarterly, and annual evaluations, and complete rigorous advanced training before they can finally become a formal member of the Campbell Secret Guard, and the fastest time is three years.

It is worth mentioning that in the past, it took exactly three years to train a regular Campbell secret guard.

The "regularization and promotion system" created by Bai Hao is very suitable for the current Campbell Secret Guards. It not only solves the urgent need for manpower, but also ensures the quality of the Campbell Secret Guards. It even allows the Campbell Secret Guards to prosper and become larger in size, and has begun to radiate to other territories.

After saying goodbye to the chief of the secret guards, Kodak once again boarded the magic truck heading to the military camp. His face was full of excitement, his eyes were full of energy, and he even began to imagine what he would look like wearing the Campbell Secret Guard uniform.

Kodak planned to apply to become a trainee member of Campbell's Secret Guard as soon as he returned, and then conscientiously complete every assigned task, strive to become a regular employee within three years, become a regular orc, and reach the peak of his life from then on.

At the same time, on the plains outside the Beast Forest, tens of thousands of vanguard soldiers were retreating in an orderly manner. Most of the soldiers did not understand why their superiors had issued an order for an emergency retreat, even though the western outer position was already within their grasp.

Not only the soldiers, but even officers like Galen did not understand the order, but he noticed that when the superiors gave the order to retreat, a thin white mist just floated over from the Beast Forest.

It looked like the vanguard army was being driven away by the white fog.

And then, the actions of the Seth Empire also confirmed Garen's guess. At the frontier base, a large number of wind elemental mages gathered there. They all cast wind magic towards the Beast Forest, blowing the slowly drifting white mist back to the Beast Forest.

Galen found an officer in charge of publicity in the Vanguard Army, named Locke, who was a distant relative of Galen. It was he who recommended Galen to the commander to spend money to buy a promotion quota.

"Uncle Locke, this emergency retreat should be related to this white fog."

"Of course, my smart cousin," Locke smoothed his sparse bangs, looked towards the Beast Forest and shook his head, "There is a big problem with this white fog. I heard from the higher-ups that if our soldiers accidentally inhale it, the Abyss Potion will most likely become ineffective!"

Galen suddenly realized what was going on, but soon frowned and said, "Speaking of the Abyss Potion, I found that the soldiers who had taken it before seemed to..."

"Shh!"

Locke quickly interrupted Galen's words. Since the vanguard army returned to the military camp, the topic of death after taking the Abyss Potion has been banned from discussion.

But all the soldiers were in a panic. They didn't expect that the potion they took to save their lives was actually poison!

Locke looked around and made sure no one was paying attention. He then whispered mysteriously, "In fact, the side effects of the Abyss Drug were announced the day before the expedition. All regular troops knew about it, except for us in the Vanguard Army."

Hearing this, Garen was shocked. He was very smart and he immediately figured out why the superiors only hid the secret from the vanguard.

The reason is very simple, because the soldiers of the Vanguard Army are all people who are afraid of death. They are originally death row prisoners and people abandoned by the empire. Correspondingly, the soldiers of the Vanguard Army have no loyalty to the empire at all.

Ordinary soldiers are fine. They have the honor of being a soldier and take obeying orders as their bounden duty. They will regard Yuan's medicine as a last resort to serve the empire and will not resist. Instead, they will only feel more passionate.

But it is different for the soldiers of the vanguard army. They have no awareness of "rather die with honor than live in disgrace". The Abyss's Potion will only be regarded as a deadly poison and will probably be thrown away as soon as they arrive at the battlefield.

After all, there is a very realistic problem. The soldiers of the Vanguard Army are mainly concerned with saving their own lives. They do not want to sacrifice themselves for the empire at all. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to take the Abyss Potion which is 100% lethal.

The battlefield is dangerous, but at least there is a glimmer of hope for survival. However, taking the Abyss Potion will lead to death. Even if they are in desperate situations, the soldiers of the vanguard army will no longer take the Abyss Potion.

Garen was silent. He now began to feel that the Abyss Potion in the inner pocket of his robe was extremely hot. He wanted to throw it away immediately. Even he, as an officer, thought so, not to mention the other vanguard soldiers.

Soon, an extremely absurd but reasonable idea came to mind.

Garen looked towards the foggy beast forest in the distance. If I "accidentally" absorbed this terrible poisonous fog, I would no longer be able to take the Abyss Potion and would "regrettably" lose the qualification to die in glory. Then the higher-ups would not be able to blame me for anything.

As if he had sensed Galen's thoughts, Locke shook his head and smiled, "Don't think about it. The higher-ups have issued a death order. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the base without permission, let alone go to the Beast Forest. Otherwise, they will be treated as traitors."

Garen sighed when he heard this, and prayed to himself as he looked at the white mist that was constantly blown away by the strong wind, hoping that this "poison mist" would be stronger and float over as soon as possible so that he would be unfortunately poisoned.

Inside the central military tent at the headquarters of Seth's First Legion, Satim looked at the strategic topographic map on the table with a serious expression. This operation of purifying water mist really caught him off guard.

Even though it has lost the help of the second dose of Burial Abyss, the Seth Empire is still confident of defeating the Beast Forest, but the casualties will rise sharply.

"Lord Jace, do you have any good ideas for this poisonous fog?"

"Haha, give me a few days and I can develop a solution." Jace responded confidently, sitting in a chair and drinking with a calm expression.

"A few days? If the war is delayed, something might happen. The vanguard army is a bunch of cowards who are useless. Their only value is to pave the way for the warriors of our empire."

Seeing Satim's angry look, Jace took a sip of wine, showing an intoxicated expression, and said casually: "I have a way to make the soldiers of the vanguard army actively transform into giants and severely damage the Beast Forest!"
