Chapter 106 - The Red Eagles

Frank was kneeling in front of the first prince's projection and humbly receiving his cursing.

The first prince asked in frustration

" how many of our people were able to get selected in his company.

"

Frank's hand slightly trembled while he replied

" This… even though we were able to include some of our people in the list prepared by the commander, that barbarian had completely refused that list.

But I was optimistic as three of our people were invited for the interview and they were among the strongest warriors selected for the interview….. But that barbarian, he didn't even choose one of them…

"

There was a silence and then the prince yelled out

" useless, piece of **…. I will do this on my own from now…

"

Frank felt like he was really wronged due to someone else's mistake.

…..

At the same time Dror, Levi, Alexander and chaow. Was having a discussion in Dror's villa.

After becoming a major Dror was given his own villa and many other similar perks.

Levi was the first to say

" Dror is this what you really want, we still have so many spots left. Why don't you appoint some strong warriors..

"

Dror replied with a slight smile

" trust me. There is something more important for a soldier than strength… It is their heart, and I believe the soldiers I have recruited have strong hearts to fight through any situation that will appear before them.

"

Alexander spoke with a nod

" you might be right about the heart of the soldier, but don't forget that we still need experienced and veteran soldiers to guide them and lead them... Most of our recruits are young and inexperienced.

"

Dror had a smirk on his face as he pressed his sky watch, which emitted a report.

After reading through the first part of the report, the other three were clearly shocked.

The report contained details of veteran soldiers who were handicapped in battle situations and specifically on soldiers from a platoon called the Red Eagle.

The Red Eagle was an old platoon disbanded a long while ago. It was a glorious platoon on its heyday.

The Platoon was led by an Old body guard of the previous king, After failing to protect the king and losing all his comrades in the rebellion of the 7 families.

This old guard called Zhao Meng joined the rebel army and formed this platoon called Red Eagle for only one purpose, revenge.

This platoon was extremely tyrannical in battle fields, but in the end they were destroyed in an ambush by the alliance army.

Only 18 soldiers including the Lieutenant survived.

The survivors were also badly injured and most of them handicapped.

The Red Eagle platoon disappeared ever since then.

Dror was able to find the current whereabouts of the platoon with the help of the Commander.

Alexander was the first to spoke up

" But these people are in no condition to serve in the army..

"

Dror replied

" I know that we are not recruiting them to fight but to train the soldiers that we have already recruited.

I have looked into their track record other than their last mission, they have completed all their missions without any causality.. I think it's worth a try to recruit them

"

This time it was Levi who spoke up

" I know this platoon, the commander had met with the Platoon leader after the incident and tried to convince him to remain as a trainer in the military camp.

But he clearly refused at that time… I wonder if he would agree now…

"

everyone remained silent and started pondering, in the end they were determined to give it a try.

…..

the next day in one of the deeper sections of the rebel mine.

" Everyone take cover… it is going to explode now…

"

Boom…

The small and controlled explosion further developed the tunnel for digging.

An old man with blue hair and goatee led the other miners to dig further into the tunnel.

But two small figures who were much more agile and nimble tried to over take them.

Seeing this the Old guy caught hold of the little figures by their ears.

" Ouch...ouch.. leave us you old bag of bones..

"

The people following the old man started laughing. But they were instantly silenced by one glare from the old man.

" you both kids, how many times have I told you not to run into the tunnel after an explosion, you could get into an accident…

"

The two kids, a boy and girl, were struggling to get free from the clutches of the old man.

This was Rutna and her friend Dani, who had secretly sneaked in to make some cash.

Rutna retorted

" You old fellows will collect all the metal ores if we are slow… This is child abuse, release us this instant..

"

People behind the old man couldn't stop from laughing again, one of them even spoke

" Lieutenant, you shouldn't abuse little children..

"

The old man was angry

" Abuse my ass… Letting these little children into these dangerous mines is the real abuse, let me meet with that supervisor Rick I will teach him a lesson this time..

"

Little Rutna who was listening carefully knew her path to money would be interrupted if she allowed this old guy to make problems with the supervisor.

She gave a look to little Dani and both nodded at each other, then started crying…

The people behind the old man started laughing again.

The old man felt helpless and spoke in a consoling manner

" little kid, I have already told you we will share a portion of what we mine with you, You don't have to enter these dangerous tunnels…

"

But before the old man could finish, Rutna interrupted,

" Who wants to take away the labor of you old bag of bones… we are young and competent miners too, we can make our own money…

"

Dani also repeated along with Rutna

" Yes we are young and competent miners , we can make our own money….

"

While the people behind the Old man were muttering

" hey... hey, who are you calling old bag of bones, if you call the lieutenant an old bag of bones that is acceptable… but some of us are still young and handsome..

"

The Old man yelled at them

" Is that the real problem here…. Young and handsome my ass..

"

But when the old man turned to reprimand the kids again, they had already escaped and started picking up metal ores from the debris.

As the old man was going to catch up and follow his lecture to the children, someone called him from the behind.

" Old Zhao there is someone here to meet you.

"

The Old man turned back to see the supervisor along with three young men in military uniform.

It was of course Dror, Levi and Chaow who had come searching for the survivors of the Red Eagle platoon.

The old man and his fellow workers were a little surprised.

" What can I help you with officer..

"

old zhao asked politely.

Before Dror could replay, Chaow was shouting

" Rutna... you skipped class again

"

Rutna who was picking up some small fragments of ore was shocked

" **, how did he find me…

"

Then she whispered to the nearby Dani

" don't worry just follow my lead…

"

She came to Chaow with an innocent face and questioned

" Who are you and how do you know my name..

"

Different expressions were appearing and disappearing on Chaow's face, while Dror and Levi was finding it hard not to laugh

" You little punk, see how I teach you a lesson today…

"

But before chaow could catch her by ear, she hid behind old Zhao.

" old man, weren't you speaking about protecting children and all, save us from these pedophiles…

"

There was a pin drop silence, Chaow's face turned ash, like he had eaten some kind of disgusting poison.

Dror and Levi were not much different, they were cursing in their mind

" hey, hey… why did you have to add an 's to that word. This is between you two siblings…

"

the old man and his fellow worker were staring at the three with doubtful eyes now.

Dror, Levi and chaow were thinking the same thing

" Clearly they aren't dumb enough to believe, what that punk said right….

"

A boorish man who was in the old zhao's group came forward with his hammer in his hand and questioned

" where did you say you came from again..

"

Dror wanted to ease the tension

" ha ha ha… The kids these days make such bad jokes… right, right little Rutna.. hmm.. where is she…?

"

While Dror's group were in an awkward situation with the old zhao's group.

Rutna was already making an escape with little Dani.

But suddenly

Crack, crack…..

The effect of the previous explosion had caused unexpected damage to the surrounding walls and it was starting to show the adverse effect, a large debris of rocks were coming down to where the children were escaping.

Seeing the big rocks coming down the children were terror stricken and could not move.

Old Zhao yelled

" Martin..

"

and he himself dashed towards the kids with a fire explosion on his feet.

Dror was also not ideal as he had also moved at the exact same time as the Old Zhao.

Martin was a low grade Earth elemental body, he tried to control the falling debris but was not strong enough to control the whole debris.

That is when he felt a much more powerful spiritual sense than his own controlling the whole debris instantly to a stand still.

Dror and Old Zhao each picked up a child as if agreed previously and returned to their initial places.
