Chapter 407: Chapter 362: Joining the Town Martial Department, Commanding the Left and Right Guards

"What’s truly important are cultivation resources!"

"At our Town Martial Department, you get access to the Cultivation Hall once a month!"

"When the time comes, I’ll take you two to see it!"

"You can experience what the Cultivation Hall is like!"

Hearing this, Wei Nan nodded eagerly.

For him and Lin Yi, salary wasn’t really that important anymore.

The school provided room and board, so there were few opportunities to spend money.

Besides, Lin Yi’s cousin, Tang Qinru, sent them composite potions every month.

This, in turn, saved them a large sum of money.

Now that they had joined the Town Martial Department, their monthly cultivation resources would be distributed to them for free. Once again, there was little to spend money on.

However, this was only true for them.

Wei Nan’s parents were ordinary people.

Although they didn’t need to cultivate, they still needed to live.

For ordinary people, money wasn’t everything, but you couldn’t do anything without it.

Besides, a long time ago, Wei Nan’s parents had wanted to buy a house.

Although they had a place to live now, it was assigned by the school and wasn’t their own.

They wanted to own their own home.

But now, things were better. Having joined the Town Martial Department, his monthly salary was several hundred thousand.

In just one year, he could buy a decent house in Songshan City or another city.

After the two of them finished their onboarding procedures, all the captains from the Left and Right Guards had arrived at the Town Martial Department headquarters.

Meng Die led Lin Yi and Wei Nan into a room.

As soon as they walked in, a dozen or so captains all stood up hurriedly.

"Sister Meng!"

"Sister Die..."

"Lord Left Department..."

Meng Die nodded, her gaze sweeping over each of them.

Finally, she said, "This is the newly appointed Lord General. His name is Lin Yi!"

"From now on, both the Left Guard and the Right Guard will be under the unified command of Lin Zongsi. Do you all understand?"

After Meng Die finished speaking, the captains exchanged glances, all seeming a bit surprised by this new appointment.

At that moment, Shan Kui stepped out from among them.

"Greetings, Lin Zongsi..."

With him taking the lead, all the others quickly bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Lin Zongsi!"

"Greetings, Lord General..."

Lin Yi nodded, committing the faces of each captain to memory.

"I’ll be counting on your guidance in the future."

"You’re too humble, Lord General!"

"Lord General..."

The atmosphere immediately relaxed.

After the introductions were made, Meng Die led Lin Yi and Wei Nan away.

The captains also returned to their respective posts to continue their work.

"Want to go grab a drink?"

"Sure!"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

And so, the three of them left the Town Martial Department headquarters and found a coffee shop outside.

They went inside and found a place to sit.

Soon, Meng Die, Lin Yi, and Wei Nan had each ordered a drink.

"Sister Meng, I have a question I’d like to ask."

After their coffee and other drinks were delivered, Wei Nan took a light sip from his coffee cup.

Meng Die nodded. "If there’s something you don’t understand, feel free to ask."

"The Left Guard and Right Guard—the names only differ by one word, but they’re two completely different departments, right?"

Hearing this, Meng Die smiled and nodded.

"That’s right. They are indeed two different departments."

"Let me put it this way for you: the Left Guard is like the Public Security Bureau."

"They have posts in every province and city in the New District, and their main responsibility is local public order."

"The only difference is that the Public Security Bureau handles urban security, while the Left Guard handles security related to brawling Martial Artists."

"The two are not the same, and their duties are distinct."

"The Right Guard... to put it bluntly, they are the combat personnel for external operations."

"Every one of them is at a slightly higher realm—the minimum is Three-Star. The Right Guard has fewer members, but each one is a valiant and battle-hardened elite."

"They are also the Town Martial Department’s main external combat force. Wei Shang and Feng Lei were both members of the Right Guard."

"They were both at the Six-Star Realm..."

As she finished speaking, Wei Nan nearly spat out a mouthful of coffee.

’So Wei Shang and Feng Lei, at the Six-Star Realm, were only considered combat personnel?’

It was clear just how difficult it was to join the Right Guard.

Although Wei Nan had gotten into the Right Guard by riding Lin Yi’s coattails, with his Three-Star Realm, he was probably the lowest-ranked member in the entire Right Guard.

Lin Yi sat beside him, not having said a word the entire time.

Only after the two of them finished speaking did he look up at Meng Die, who was sitting opposite him.

"Sister Meng, Elder He mentioned before that the Town Martial Department is currently short-staffed and lacks top commanders."

"He also mentioned the Blood Handprint."

"You’ve captured so many Blood Handprint members who were hiding in various departments. You must have extracted a lot of information from them, right?"

"Otherwise, Elder He wouldn’t have recruited us into the Town Martial Department."

"Whatever the missions are, you might as well just tell us."

Lin Yi’s directness caught Meng Die slightly off guard.

She had originally planned to let the topic brew for a while longer, at least until they had finished their coffee, before talking about the missions.

Who would have thought that Lin Yi was even more eager than she was?

Meng Die smiled and nodded. "There are indeed a few missions."

"Wait a moment. I’ll get the files for you."

After saying that, Meng Die took out several file folders from her Storage Magical Artifact and handed them to Lin Yi.

After receiving the files, Lin Yi opened them and looked them over carefully.

But his brow gradually furrowed.

"Feeding grounds?"

"Blood Handprint strongholds?"

Meng Die nodded. "That’s right. The Blood Handprint is raising a lot of demon beasts."

"To sustain these demon beasts, they capture people and process them into feed!"

"These so-called ’feeding grounds’ are the places where they supply this feed for the demon beasts."

"Previously, Captain Chu and his team already destroyed two of these feeding grounds in Jingzhao City."

"They’ve already headed to the next city."

"However, with just a few of them, their progress is far too slow."

"As for the Demon Hunting Bureau, they have their own work and can’t spare too many people for this."

"So, after some discussion, both the Blood Handprint’s feeding grounds and their strongholds have all been handed over for our Town Martial Department to handle."

"In other words, all of these matters now fall on your shoulders, Lord General."

After Meng Die finished speaking, Lin Yi nodded and continued to look at the documents in his hand.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Pointing at the locations of several feeding grounds on the list, he said, "Why is the Old District on here?"

Meng Die smiled. "The feeding grounds in the Old District are their main supply bases."

"Does that mean we have to return to the Old District to destroy these feeding grounds?"

Meng Die nodded. "That’s right."

Lin Yi and Wei Nan: "..."
