Sometimes, small figures had their strong points, namely, nobody would remember them; neither would they meet any big trouble. Given their poor abilities, little responsibilities and small targets, they could barely catch the eyes of big figures. During these couple of days in the encampment, everything was calm. The 3rd unit of the legion of Sword of Brilliance in Hicks Peninsula appeared to forget about him. Zhang Tie also enjoyed leisure time. Besides taking food at two fixed periods per day, he just sat in the room with crossed legs and slowly recovered his battle force. Additionally, he would wash his clothes and clean up himself…
Almost all the fighters of the 3rd unit of the legion of Sword of Brilliance in Hicks Peninsula were dispatched from the other places across Holy Light Empire. Most of them were unfamiliar with each other. As more and more people fought to the death, fresh men constantly entered this unit. As a result, there were increasing fewer familiar people in the unit. Those comrades-in-arms whom Fred knew had already sacrificed in the mountain woods or were still executing tasks. Additionally, there were many strict regulations and commands in Sword of Brilliance such as members of Sword of Brilliance were forced to drink, act as pimps, gamble or gather up in a group of more than 3 people. It was desolate everywhere in the encampment. Zhang Tie just stayed in the small house alone. Nobody disturbed him at all.
On the 6th morning after Fred’s return, a bodyguard of Sagula came to Zhang Tie’s house and asked him to tidy up well and register at the gate of the headquarters.
After tidying himself up and his luggage as fast as he could, Zhang Tie followed the bodyguard of Sagula to the gate of the headquarters.
Sagula and a black colonel in regular uniform of Holy Light Empire whom Zhang Tie had not seen before were already waiting for him there.

My respects to you, Lord Sagula!
Zhang Tie greeted Saguli. Closely after that, he made a salute to the two people.
In the armies of the Holy Light Empire, they always called clergies like priests lord. Those pure officers who assumed positions in the armies were called sir. There was no general in the armies of the Holy Light Empire. The highest rank in the armies of the Holy Light Empire was colonel; because those who could assume the position of general were all knights. If they became knights, they would promote to truncheon chief priest in the Holy Light Empire automatically.

You’re Fred?
the colonel asked as he took a look at Zhang Tie.

Yes, sir!


Do you know why I’m here?


Yes, I do!


Hmm, get in the car!
The black colonel sent order as he pointed at a military SUV next to him.
Zhang Tie then sat on the front seat.
This vehicle was driven by dual-engine and fiery oil. In the theater of operations, it was the symbol of high identity.
After talking with Saguli for a short while, the black colonel made a salute to Saguli. After that, he got on the vehicle and started the car. Then, they left the encampment.
The black colonel was a bit reticent. He didn’t introduce anything to Zhang Tie; neither did Zhang Tie ask any question.
They came straight to an expanded military airport in Feinan City. A large transport airplane with the symbol of the Holy Light Empire was waiting there. The hatch door of the warehouse at the stern of transport airplane was open. The SUV then directly drove into the warehouse of the transport airplane through the hatch door.
When the black colonel opened the door of the SUV, some fighters on the transport airplane had already fixed the wheels of the SUV onto the parking place with steel wire and metal buttons. Meanwhile, the hatch door at the stern of the transport airplane was slowly closing up.

Sit here!
the black colonel said as he pointed at a seat inside the airplane. After that, he entered the cockpit, leaving Zhang Tie in this warehouse alone.
Disguising as such a small figure, Zhang Tie didn’t mind it. Therefore, he walked to the front of the seat and sat down there before buckling up his seat belt. In less than one minute, the four engines of the transport airport had been started. With the earsplitting noises of engines, the transport airport slowly moved. After making a vertical turn, it started to accelerate on the runway. Finally, after moving over 1,000 m forward, Zhang Tie felt that the nose of the airport suddenly raised as the transport airport took off.
…
After over 8 hours’ flight, the transport airport finally landed at the airport outside a big city which was 10 times larger than that of Coldwater City. After running for a while on the ground, it finally parked.
The black colonel then returned to the warehouse and asked Zhang Tie to get on the SUV. Then, he opened the warehouse and backed out. After that, he drove out of the airport at high speed. After driving dozens of miles, he took Zhang Tie to another camp with the banner of Holy Light Empire…
Everything was in the plane. Step by step…
It was Garby City, the capital of Sterland Republic and the encampment of the headquarters of allied human forces in the East Line of Western Continent.
Ockham was in this city. However, Zhang Tie was not here to meet Ockham. Given his current level, even though he was not cannon fodder anymore, he was still not qualified to meet the holy light chief priest of Holy Light Empire at his will.
Zhang Tie was here to acquire another identity.
…
Two days later, Zhang Tie changed a set of uniform with the military rank of fire lieutenant in the camp. After that, he was taken into a large tent inside the camp and stood well among two teams of high-level fighters whose level ranged from LV 10 to LV 13.
Given his low level, Zhang Tie could only stand close to the gate. Among the two teams of fighters, there were only 4 LV 9 officers like him.
All the fighters here were highly spirited. Chesting out, they were waiting for something. So was Zhang Tie.
Ten minutes later, two truncheon chief priests were welcomed in the large tent respectfully by some officers and guards.
One of the two truncheon chief priests looked gray-haired, the other looked in the prime of his life.

Your Excellency Bordili, these people are all excellent officers in the encampment of Garby City. Please select them at your will. It’s the God of Brilliance’s favor for them to have an opportunity to be your personal attendant and follow your orders…
The gray-haired truncheon chief priest then pointed at the two rows of officers standing in the large tent and said in a passionate and ingratiating manner.
The young truncheon chief priest then nodded reservedly. After that, he slowly passed by the two rows of officers and scanned their faces one after another.
When this young truncheon chief priest passed by, all the officers held their breath as they all tried to display their best side.
The personal attendant of Bordili had already sacrificed in the battle in Fengzi City 3 months ago. In the same battle, Bordili killed a knight of Sacred Alliance Empire and won his fame immediately. He then became an elite among all the truncheon chief priests of Holy Light Empire in the frontline. It was said that he was even received by a holy light chief priest. His future would be unpredictable.
This time, Bordili would like to select a personal attendant from these people. It was a very rare opportunity for these officers and fighters who were still far away from promoting to knights to be a truncheon chief priest’s personal attendant in the Holy Light Empire.
Under the silent gaze of everyone else, the proud truncheon chief priest stopped in front of Zhang Tie. He then glanced over Zhang Tie from his head to toe with sharp eyes as if he wanted to see through Zhang Tie.

You are from Sword of Brilliance?
Bordili asked Zhang Tie in a low voice; however, it didn’t feel oppressive. He appeared to have recognized Zhang Tie’s identity given the latter’s qi.

Yes, Lord!


What’s your name?


Fred!


How many people have you killed on the battlefields?


27!


How many on the same level?


3!


Not bad!
Bordili then nodded as he pointed at Zhang Tie and said,
I will choose you. Come over here.


Yes, Lord!
Under the admiring, jealous and hateful eyes of all the others, Zhang Tie took one step back and stood on Bordili’s side.

Your Excellency Rooney, now that Fred comes from Sword of Brilliance, I think he could work as a good example for all the fighters of Sword of Brilliance on my side. Is there any problem?
Bordili told the old truncheon chief priest.

No problem. Of course, no problem. All the members of Sword of Brilliance here will follow my arrangement. Even though Your Excellency Bordili doesn’t favor anyone of them, they still couldn’t go to the battlefield without receiving hard training. Of course, it would be better for any one of them with Your Excellency’s guidance and supervision…
The truncheon chief priest called Rooney with a smile. Closely after that, he turned around and fixated onto Zhang Tie with a serious look,
Now that Your Excellency Bordili has selected you as his personal attendant, I hope you live up to the expectation of His Excellency Bordili and bear your responsibility in mind all the time!


Yes, Lord!


Your Excellency Rooney, I got get going!

After saying these words, Bordili took a glance at him and walked out of the large tent, followed by Zhang Tie.
A pitch-dark limousine was parked somewhere not far from the large tent. An officer of the Holy Light Empire was standing beside the door of the vehicle. When he saw Bordili coming here, he instantly opened the door for Bordili with full respect and had Bordili sit on the back seat. After that, he closed the door. Zhang Tie came to the door near the co-pilot seat. As the personal attendant of the truncheon chief priest, he could only sit in front.

Fred, come to the back seat. I’ve got something to talk to you.

After hearing the truncheon chief priest’s words, Zhang Tie sat on the back seat.
After Zhang Tie closed the door, the black limousine had started and left for Garby City outside the encampment. The glass between the front row and the back row of the vehicle had risen up. As a result, the backspace of the vehicle was completely isolated. No matter what the two people talked about in the back, the driver and outsiders could never hear or see it.
Licking his lips, Bordili watched Zhang Tie with deep curiosity. Zhang Tie then didn’t behave meticulously and humbly anymore. He didn’t even look at Bordili; instead, he took out a bottle of Brandy and two glasses in the car. He made two glasses of liquor, one for himself, the other for Bordili.
In this process, Bordili remained silent as he still gazed at Zhang Tie as if there were some rarities on Zhang Tie.
After being hesitant for half a minute, Bordili took the glass frankly.
After sipping a mouthful of liquor, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and sighed satisfactorily.
I’ve not drunk such a pure cherry Brandy for long. What a memorable taste!
