Chapter 162: eve of the ceremony grand entrance of the gang

After getting back to the Python military division, Clark noticed a ping notification from his implant. He finally received the message that he was expecting. The Spartan army finally contacted him.

“Good day Clark Pendragon, I am the main A.I in charge of all operations of the Spartan army. Your status has been on hold for a long time in our database, but we updated it lately after your return”.

“According to our records, you are among the brave soldiers who participated in the Spartan’s rage mission. All your comrades who survived have received their rewards, so yours is the only one pending”.

“The higher-ups decided that you will receive all the promised benefits and rewards on the same day of your rank promotion ceremony”.

“You will also receive all the right rewards for the mission and everything that you accomplished in the sea”.

“To make us not cramped up with responsibilities on the day of the rank promotion ceremony, you are expected to come to the headquarters of the Spartan army at a minimum of today”.

“Your accommodation and everything is settled, all you need to come with is just yourself. Have a nice journey here”.

After reading this, Clark’s face bloomed into a wide grin as he stood up to arrange his things. Leo and the others were with him, they helped him and he got set in just 30 minutes.

This time, he donned a blue suit. After admiring himself to his satisfaction, he bid his friends farewell before going out to enter the exotic military helicopter that was waiting for him outside.

After he entered, the helicopter took off by itself on autopilot, taking him directly to Northern Sparta.

…

In just a little over an hour, he finally arrived at the center point, the most important, and most well-developed territory of the Spartan republic.

The capital region of the Spartan republic did not disappoint in its luxury, as everywhere he looked seemed like something out of a children’s fairytale. The atmosphere was full of optimism and the drive to move forward.

Since he was born as a Spartan citizen, this was his second time coming to his country’s capital region. The first time was when he was still a child, his parents brought him here during one of their vacations.

That time, he was just seeing bright colors and people. This time was when he was able to fully take on the majesty of his country’s capital.

Though it was miles behind the outer headquarters of the Seafarers alliance where he was months ago in terms of luxury and development, it was still pleasing to the eye.

The helicopter flew above the city, presenting him with a first-person view of the whole area. After another 10 minutes of this, he finally reached the headquarters of the hegemon leading Spartan military, the Spartan army.

From up there where he was, the headquarters looked just like a city. If he was not wrong, the headquarters’ territory alone was as big as the whole Vatican City, which was completely outrageous.

Because the area was too large, he could not admire the complete splendor of it. But from the little that he saw, everywhere good, it was lit.

The helicopter carried him forward for another 2 minutes before he was dropped in one of the lesser luxurious parts of the military headquarters.

The main A. I of the military headquarters worked with his implant’s A. I connectedly, as the direction he needed to go was projected directly into his brain, through his implant.

He greeted the soldiers he found in the way with a smile of happiness. Being in the Spartan army was the dream of every Spartan soldier, and he was no exception despite the love he had for his home region.

The soldiers that he greeted responded politely, while some others responded coldly as they didn’t know him. They took him as a nobody or a newbie soldier who was just admitted into the army, so their reception to him was fairly cold.

He didn’t mind though, he never lived by the opinion of others. After 5 minutes of walking, he finally located the registration stand for new soldiers.

He was surprised at getting there, as he saw a familiar face. Captain Oxford was also there, as they worked on processing his entry into the Spartan army. Just like him, the Captain was originally not a soldier of the Spartan army.

After seeing him, the Captain was surprised as he came out to meet him immediately. This sped up his registration, as the influence of a 4th rank high-grade soldier was not small, even if it was here in the Spartan army.

Seeing this new soldier talk so freely with a 4th rank high-grade soldier, all the soldiers around had various expressions on their faces. Some surprise and admiration, others envy and jealousy.

After completing their registration, the Captain offered that Clark should just come and stay with him in his special apartment. With just one word, Clark was upgraded from his more modest apartment to an apartment befitting a General to be.

…

They spent most of their time together, while frequently going back to flesh out more details about their registration on summons as the 2 days of wait quickly passed.

The d-day was finally here, the rank promotion ceremony.

Today, the originally boisterous headquarters of the Spartan army became more boisterous as guests around the republic started coming for this important ceremony.

The security around the headquarters tightened and became more organized. On important occasions like this, the republic was always careful as their rival, the Mocan republic and the pests hovering around them, the Persian tiger’s organization was lurking around the shadows.

Soldiers of different statuses and ranks came to this important ceremony to better decorate it with their prestige and presence.

The news media was always ready like hawks ready to prey on their chicks, as they moved with speed to meet and get an interview with all these influential people.

They already prepared and set up their equipment days ago, showing their dedication to their job.

Today, the attention of every Spartan citizen was temporarily focused here, as such important ceremonies are always broadcasted on the public projection bases throughout the country.

With this, every Spartan citizen can see, know, and respect the new soldiers that are rising through the ranks.

After everything was set up, the leader of the Spartan army finally went to meet these new soldiers to give them a short speech in a large hall where they were all gathered.

All the soldiers were excited, no matter what rank they were as they laid their eyes before the 2nd strongest individual in the whole Spartan republic, Commander Rashford.

The Commander’s speech was small, as he was sure that all the soldiers here already read through the rules and regulations of the army before coming.

He just encouraged them, emphasized the importance of following the rule more, before personally congratulating the protagonist of today’s ceremony, Captain Oxford.

As a soldier being promoted to the General rank, he was the most important celebrant of today’s ceremony.

The latter’s expression was flushed from excitement and disbelief, as he shook the hand of his long-time idol. In the Spartan republic, more than half of the soldiers took their President as their idol, while the rest took Commander Rashford as their idol.

All other idols that they took were just side chick idols, these 2 people were the main protagonists that were holding the Spartan republic upright.

Clark was also very excited, as he laid his eyes on this Spartan legend. He imprinted this moment deep in his heart, this was an unforgettable moment to him.

After all these, the Commander finally left for his office. Despite him not there again, his presence still reigned as the excitement refused to die out of the faces of these soldiers.

…

Back in the Python military division, Leo admired himself in the mirror with a smile planted on his face.

He was in a red velvet suit, with nice decorative brandings of his current military rank. Though he was still just a first rank high-grade soldier, he already received some promotions through the last few years.

He was no longer just a Sergeant; he was now a Sergeant first class. His gold-rimmed military rank indicator shone brightly, perfectly complimenting his red suit. After admiring to his satisfaction, he nodded before he turned to leave his room.

On reaching the parlor, Benny was also ready in a red velvet suit. They bought identical suits to specially commemorate this special day in their friend’s life.

Not long after, Smart man also came from his apartment to meet them. He was in a white Gucci hand-stitched suit. He had a smug smile on his face, as he showcased the fine linings on his suit.

The 2 soldiers ignored him, as they all finally started going outside. Today, they were taking the Spartan capital by storm, the people shall know that a group of soldiers entered the capital.

Though Leo already bought his car after so long of serving under the Python military division, he did not take it. Why drive a car, when a beast was left for them to cruise to the ceremony in style.

After getting into Clark’s car, they set their direction as Vatican City, prompting the car to speed away on autopilot.

…

After arriving at Clark’s ancestral home, they parked and went inside the house to get the 2 sisters.

All 3 soldiers were stunned by the breathtaking sight that greeted them, as soon as they entered the house.

The 2 gorgeous sisters smiled on seeing their incredulous expressions, making a faint tint of rose color form on their already perfect faces, taking their gorgeousness to the next level.

They both dressed up in the same pink, Gucci brand, long flowing gown. The long skin-tight dress brought out their maturity and curves more, making them look like 2 beautiful goddesses.

“Kate, you look gorgeous, you look completely made from heaven”. Leo spoke out at this moment, perfectly finding the time to flatter.

“Let’s go, sweet talker”. Emily quickly butted in with a soft laugh, as they all discussed while going outside in a harmonious mood.

For the past 2 days, they have all been in constant contact, so they were now familiar with each other. Especially Kate and Leo, their relationship was already going beyond the normal, showing the prowess of shameless sweet talking.

The car took on a larger form to freely accommodate all of them. After they all entered, it sped away amid their cheerful laughter and discussions.

Today, the whole North Sparta shall witness the grand entry of the buddies of Clark Pendragon in its whole splendor. They shall welcome the gang.
