God of Pets

Chapter 543 An Ordinary Reconnaissance Soldier

I, Gao Weiqiang, am just an ordinary reconnaissance soldier.

Of course, some people call me the Eye of God, the No. 1 scout.

The reason I'm able to become the best among reconnaissance soldiers isn't because I have exceptional eyesight, strong abilities, or high intelligence.

Actually, I'm not good at reconnaissance work, and I don't really like this job. I'd rather be a main force soldier who can dominate the battlefield than do this boring reconnaissance work.

Well, because I don't love this job, I often make mistakes.

However, my superiors insisted on making me a scout, for one reason only: my talent was "escaping the net".

Well, it's a very useless talent.

With this talent, I would become very inconspicuous.

Just how invisible am I? Let's put it this way: my girlfriend of three years doesn't even know I exist.

Well, as long as I wander around the demon's territory, as long as I don't punch the demon in the face, no one will bother with me.

What is a very dangerous job for others is nothing to me; it's not dangerous at all.

What's most frustrating is that even my superiors always seem to forget I exist. Every time they check the files and see mine, they're startled and it takes them ages to remember I was even there.

"What a boring life, what a boring job. When will I be able to become a real warrior?"

For some reason, three months later, my superior remembered me and gave me a mission: to monitor a human team.

"Hmm, a team of over three hundred people dared to attack the demon's pass, which has four hundred and seven demons. Aren't they just courting death?"

"Humans need at least 1.5 times the manpower of a demon army to contend with a legion of the same level."

I originally thought that this human army would be wiped out soon, but things turned out differently than I expected.

This human army of over three hundred men managed to kill four hundred and seven demon soldiers guarding the pass without losing a single one of them.

I've been here for almost three years, and I've never seen a human achieve such a feat in a battle against demons.

"How exciting it would be if I were a member of this army, fighting bravely on the battlefield like them." Watching this team constantly roaming the demons' territory, breaking through barriers and slaying enemies, I recalled my original dream: to be a real soldier and kill demons on the battlefield.

Perhaps it was because I was too obsessed with my dream, or perhaps I was inspired by this team, but I don't know when, I actually joined the team and became a member of it.

I don't find it strange that they didn't notice there was an extra person in their group.

Although my uniform was different from theirs and my mount was a bit strange, I thought it was normal and nothing special.

I fought alongside them, and together we bravely slew the demons.

That man, the leader of that legion, always told us that demons were as weak as insects, and that killing them was as easy as crushing an ant if we just moved our fingers and showed them no mercy.

This is very different from what I heard from other officers when I was in Taishan City.

The officers always told us how terrifying and cruel the demons were, and that when the soldiers faced the demons, they had to give it their all, or they would easily be killed by the demons.

I think they're all talking nonsense. What this Commander Zi Donglai said is right. The demons weren't that bad. They could just be killed casually.

Why are the human troops of Taishan City so afraid of the demons, and why do they suffer more heavy losses than the demons in every battle?
"Sigh, a good commander is really important. Under the leadership of such a commander, there is nothing to fear from demons."

However, this good commander sometimes makes me a little worried. Although I don't think there's anything to be afraid of about demons, the reputation of the Demon Thousand Breakers is there for all to see.

Taishan City suffered heavy losses in several battles with Qian Pojun.

I've seen Qian Pojun's fighting prowess; he's far stronger than those demon soldiers guarding the pass.

With just over three hundred soldiers, this leader actually wanted to annihilate two thousand elite troops. His ambition was truly enormous; I fear he couldn't handle it. When the battle began, I was quite apprehensive.

I'm not afraid of dying. Based on my past experience, even if the team is defeated, as long as I retreat quietly, there shouldn't be any problems.

I'm just a little reluctant to see such a team defeated by the demons, and reluctant to see these comrades who joined us by chance killed by the demons.

Although it was only a few days, it gave me a feeling of a dream come true. I don't want this team to disappear, nor do I want this good commander to die here.

But what can I change? I'm just a useless fish that slipped through the net.

When the good officer said the order to kill them all, I felt my blood boil and I charged out with my comrades who had come to join me.

I fought alongside my team, and somehow, the number of enemies in front of me kept decreasing.

At first, enemies were everywhere, but as the group moved forward, more and more enemies fell.

The battlefield was littered with the corpses of pets and demons. My new comrades were very different from my old ones; they were all like invincible war gods, and they killed demons with incredible efficiency.

Watching them kill the demons, I felt a little dazed, as if I were seeing scenes of demons slaughtering humans in the past.

For the first time, I saw fear in the eyes of those lawless demons who knew no fear.

"This team... actually made the demons feel fear..." I felt a sense of pride. I don't know when, but I had already considered myself a part of this team.

But Qian Pojun is Qian Pojun, worthy of being the most elite demon force in Tianyang City.

They were tenacious, maintaining the stability of their battle formation even amidst such fierce fighting. The wounded demons quickly recovered their fighting strength under the healing techniques of the demon soldiers of Tianyi Star. The cavalry's killing rhythm continued, but it was not as fast or as smooth as usual.

Some of my comrades started getting injured. Seeing them fighting bravely despite their injuries, I suddenly realized that I should do something.

I don't want to see my comrades die in front of me, not a single one.

But I'm just an ordinary soldier, and my level is only barely level 51 (sixth awakening). What can I do?

Should I go and kill the enemy's commander? I don't have that kind of strength. I'm afraid my power wouldn't even be enough to break through the enemy commander's defenses.

But I had a strong urge to do something, so I broke away from the main force and headed towards the Heavenly Healer Star camp within the Demon Army.

The soldiers of Tianyi Star are not that high-level, and their combat ability is not strong, so they should be relatively easy to kill.

I crossed the battlefield and came behind a demon soldier from the Heavenly Healer Star. Then I took out my knife and slashed his neck from behind.

I continued forward, weaving through the chaotic ranks of the Heavenly Doctor Star soldiers, reaping their lives one by one with my sword.

I feel no guilt whatsoever. Killing one more demon means fewer injuries to my dear comrades.

One after another, the demon soldiers of the Heavenly Doctor Star died under my blade. I originally thought I would be discovered soon.

After all, my talent is just one of the few that slipped through the net; with this kind of killing, they will soon notice me.

I've come to realize that once I'm discovered, I'll likely face certain death.

Dying so quickly isn't necessarily a bad thing.

But today is a bit strange. I keep killing the demon soldiers of Tianyi Star, but they still ignore me. Even when I kill people in front of them, they seem to only see their teammates falling and not me killing people with a knife.

At that moment, I felt like I was the Grim Reaper on the battlefield, using my power to reap the lives of the enemy and help my team.

"So this is what it feels like to follow a good commander and have a group of good comrades!" I was somewhat intoxicated. This was the battlefield of my dreams, and this was what I should be doing.
