"Recommendation letter? No problem."
Bai Pu said with a smile: "However, if you all wish to serve your country, staying in Copenhagen is the best choice."
Bai Puâs words were not wrong.
Rather than returning to Sweden to reacquaint with leadership, itâs better to stick with this leader in front of you.
Copenhagen is the main battlefield between Sweden and Denmark, and there will be more battles to come.
Moreover, Bai Puâs identity is already that of the Commander of the Sweden Imperial Army, the highest-ranking officer! Staying by Bai Puâs side certainly offers better prospects than returning to Sweden.
The three of them obviously knew this as well; their earlier argument was based on this point.
But as Awakened, they can only consider immediate benefits. Their time in this world is running short. If they canât convert their merit points in time, what will they do if they get targeted by powerful natives on a dangerous battlefield?
Without a return artifact, theyâll just be sitting ducks accumulating merit points before getting killed!
"Iâm sorry, Marshal. We want to go back to our homeland for a visit," said the Awakener "Ba Fang".
"Alright. During this battle, I scavenged a swordsmanship draft from the enemy. The swordsmanship insights inside are of no use to me. I intended to pass them on to you, but it seems thereâs no opportunity now."
Bai Pu raised his hand to reveal the [Triangle Swordsmanship Draft].
All three Awakeners were taken aback.
"Brother Misheng, isnât this the combat technique insights of a native? Itâs said that such items can potentially allow an Awakenerâs combat specialization to break through barriers and directly advance to Level 7!"
Ye Zi spoke in a low voice.
"Stay calm, Ye Zi."
Misheng shook his head lightly, "The explanation for this swordsmanship draft is very clear; it can only help us gain a rare effect when advancing to Level 7 specialization! It cannot directly elevate our combat specialization to Level 7."
For Mid-level Awakeners, gaining a combat specialization that directly advances to Level 7 is exceedingly significant.
"A rare effect is pretty good too."
Even Ba Fang, who wanted to leave, couldnât help but say: "This Marshal Dior Fulri surely has the capability to guide us! If we can get his guidance, perhaps we can trigger a test mission to directly advance our combat specialization to Level 7... Should we not leave?"
The three Awakeners exchanged glances, and after a moment of eye contact, Misheng spoke, bowing:
"Marshal! We were foolish earlier, terribly sorry!
"Upon further discussion, weâve all decided to stay in Copenhagen, to follow the Marshalâs path. Please allow us to continue serving you!"
Bai Pu was unsurprised.
As an Awakener, no one understood better than Bai Pu how to handle Awakeners.
"But didnât you say that youâve been wandering too long and wanted to visit your homeland?" Bai Pu hesitated, "Staying here, your impact on the battle is minimal; itâs better to return."
The situation flipped.
Misheng excitedly said, "Marshal, we admit that weâre in a disadvantageous position in the operation to disrupt Copenhagen, luckily you timely defeated the Danish army, allowing us to complete the mission.
"However, we also have great untapped potential! Please believe in our commitment to our country, entrust us with the most challenging tasks, and we guarantee we will not disgrace the mission!"
Bai Pu did believe this.
After all, these three are all Level 6 Awakeners, and although theyâre only using the Elite Template, to reach this level, they must have some hidden trump cards, right?
If you donât put some pressure on them, they certainly wonât be willing to use them.
Bai Pu smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright then! Let me see your determination..."
...
Eastern Copenhagen Port.
Danish Royal Shipyard.
The head of the shipyard was a Level 6 Enhanced Elite, respected by the shipworkers as General Morizzi.
They also called him "Whip" Morizzi behind his back, because Morizziâs strict work regulations lashed the shipworkers like a whip, forcing them to work nonstop to produce ships for the Danish navy.
Consequently, the retreating Danish soldiers who arrived brought only bad news.
General Morizzi pieced together the information from the retreating soldiers and deduced the general course of events.
"General Rudolph, so formidable, was actually defeated by Dior Fulri..."
Morizzi felt uneasy, now only hoping that the legendary Dior Fulri wouldnât come here.
Meanwhile, Morizzi used a magic artifact to appeal to the king for help, hoping that His Majesty would return with the powerful Danish navy to hang that audacious Dior Fulri from the mast!
In the morning, no one started work at the shipyard.
The usually strict Morizzi didnât rush anyone to work either. In such a panic-stricken time, itâs unwise to stir trouble.
The entire shipyard was silent, with only a few shipworkers hiding in the living area, quietly discussing, not daring to come forth.
The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not cease.
In the morning, huge flames rose above the shipyard!
Misheng, Ye Zi, and Ba Fang, the three Awakened, led a group of Agility-type mutant creatures, storming into the Royal Shipyard!
To be precise, the mutants were responsible for the killing, while they were responsible for setting the fires!
This group of Elite Level mutant creatures showed no mercy or compassion, whether to enemies or themselves! They ruthlessly tore apart all living things in their way, fully implementing the instructions of the three Awakened.
"Goodness, weâve even managed to assault this Royal Shipyard." Ba Fang sighed. In the past, relying on their Elite Level strength, they wouldnât have dared to provoke the Danish Royal Shipyard.
"However, redeeming these twenty mutant âSharp Claw Predatorsâ has already exhausted all our merit points! We must complete this mission beautifully while maximizing our gains."
Misheng clearly remembered their investment amounted to a total of two hundred merit points, all used to redeem mutant creatures!
Marshal Dior Fulri agreed to let them redeem the Sharp Claw Predator at a "10% discount" ultra-low price. But the redeemed Sharp Claw Predators had an added restriction: they must prioritize completing the "Destroy the Shipyard" mission.
Moreover, any enemy attacked by the Sharp Claw Predators would yield no lootâthis was the balance enforced by the Spirit Realm Will.
Misheng felt like he was working while repaying a loan.
However, soon Misheng and the others found an opportunity!
Twenty Sharp Claw Predators stormed the yard like a whirlwind, while the Awakened led them straight to the head of the placeâMorizziâs dock!
Morizzi tried to flee by boat but was intercepted by the three Awakened.
The Sharp Claw Predators handled Morizziâs overseer soldiers.
Misheng and his two companions were able to surround and assassinate the Enhanced Elite head-on!
This was the gain available to the three, as long as they obtained Morizziâs Enhanced Elite Treasure Chest, the effort would be worthwhile.
