Chapter 222 Training

Erend and Billy entered the briefing room shortly after.

Around them were several soldiers who would join this training. But Erend felt strange because there were quite a few of them.

Aren't military operations usually carried out in large enough numbers to deal with an equally large threat? Unless this is a covert operation.

But if this was indeed covert special operations training, shouldn't they choose experienced members?

Meanwhile, Erend and Billy are soldiers who are on the front lines and only know war openly. Why did they join to participate here?

"Why so few?" Billy asked. Turns out he has the same concern as Erend.

"I don't know," Erend said.

They found where Adrien was seated. They both came to him and sat next to him.

"Why are there so few members, Captain?" Billy asked the same question he had asked Erend earlier.

Adrien sighed. As if he was about to say something bad. That made Erend and Billy frown.

In an instant, they already knew that what Adrien said was not something good.

"I'll be honest with you," Adrien said. "They probably have the intention to embarrass us."

"What?" Erend asked.

"You know who they are? They are members of the military special forces. They were chosen from difficult tests. Even though they are still considered beginners." Adrien said.

Erend and Billy spread their eyes around. The soldiers seemed to stare at them with disdain.

Some of them even snorted openly when they met Erend's or Billy's eyes.

Erend and Billy immediately understood what Adrien was saying.

"They really underestimated us," Billy said without taking his eyes off them.

If they could snort and laugh at them openly, then Billy wouldn't be afraid to make eye contact with them as if to show that he wasn't intimidated.

"Yeah," Erend replied curtly. But in his heart was a wave of burning anger.

Erend didn't even know what reason had made General Lennard put them into this special military operation training.

Did he also want to see them humiliated? As one would expect from someone as wily and conspiratorial as him.

Erend's anger piled up making him want to burn the laughing faces and the eyes that stare at them with disdain like that.

But Erend managed to control himself not to do that now.

There were only twenty seven soldiers here including the three of them. Indicating that they are only going to carry out special operations training in a small group.

Not long after someone came in and stopped at the front of the briefing room.

He was a man with dark hair and a tall build. His eyes were always sharp as if to say that he always hated whoever he saw.

He is Geralt Ronder. A military officer who used to always hate and most aggressively underestimate the soldiers who fought in the bunker against the Elves.

Geralt Ronder became the person most hated by the soldiers in the bunker.

Several thousand soldiers who had gathered in the bunker shared the same hatred for Geralt Ronder.

He is a figure more hated than the president who forced them to go to war and die against the Elves.

He is the figure that unites the soldiers who previously did not know each other.

They all come together to hate Geralt Ronder so they can blend in more easily with one another.

Now that Geralt was in front of them it was clear that he would be the one leading this operation.

That's not a good thing for Adrien, Erend, and Billy. They sighed and cursed in their hearts.

Geralt's gaze finally found them. And all three of them swore they saw Geralt put on an evil grin.

The grin only lasted for a few seconds. But it was enough to make the three of them feel that this training would not end well for them.

"Okay, today we will start the briefing for the practice we will be holding." Geralt said it in an unnaturally cold and calm tone.

This made Erend, Billy, and Adrien even more convinced that he was planning something for them.

But the three of them could do nothing but participate in this training. They believed that their participation was also with the approval of General Lennard. They couldn't possibly refuse.

The briefing lasted for three hours non-stop. After that, they dispersed to leave the briefing room to start strategy training.

The training place was made to resemble the real location where they would carry out the training.

The place was made to resemble a ship. The scenario is they have to save the hostages from the pirates.

They got off the platform that stood a few meters above the ship. Make them feel like they're coming down from a helicopter.

The command is held by Major Geralt Ronder. Twenty soldiers go on board the ship from the helicopter and from the boat.

Meanwhile, seven other people provided sniper support from the boats around the ship.

During the training, Erend and Billy had a hard time adjusting because they were not used to this kind of operational strategy.

Those two have never received a proper military education, let alone education on special operations.

So they find it difficult to do this. In contrast to Adrien who had joined the special forces before.

Erend and Billy got what they expected. The insulting words that came out from the special forces' mouths came out like a barrage of bullets from their rifles.

Billy almost got out of control and hit one of the soldiers who according to him had the most annoying face.

But Erend stopped him before it happen.

"The time will come later."

That's what Erend said. Hearing Erend's words, Billy realized that he was also angry. But Erend can keep his anger.

Billy knows how terrible Erend can be when he let out that rage. So Billy held back his emotions because Erend, who had been struggling to hold back his rage, might just go on a rampage here if he acts up.

It could have a more severe effect than just a bruise on the soldier's face.
