Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Chapter 326: The Melancholic Taigore


"There's no finish line at all!"

The personnel testing of New 191 Battalion does not use the conventional timing tests of regular special forces, nor does it involve overly complicated tasks.

It simply takes a variety of basic tests to assemble a circular test course, and then the circular trial begins.

Although there is a time requirement for each task, this time requirement is considered very generous for soldiers from any country.

And after each task, there's a 5-minute break!

After a set of tests, there's a one-hour rest period where soldiers can eat, drink, and even sleep.

But when the time is up, they must continue to compete!

The test was determined by Mountain Eagle because he was short on time, and without much thought to spare, he chose the simplest of tasks, then relentlessly repeated them in high intensity to break the will of these soldiers.

This high-intensity cycle will continue until only the last 200 soldiers remain.

Then, these 200 people will fly with him to Kamui to undergo special training from the United States Seal Six Team in a newly built camp, and in the end, only 100 will become official members.

Taigore, in a ruthless move, used his granduncle's connections to issue 900 test invitations to the most elite units of the Thai Army Special Forces – the First Special Warfare Division, Third Special Warfare Group, the 90th Special Task Force of the Army's counter-terrorism unit, and the 31st Battalion of the Thailand Quick Reaction Force Infantry.

These invitations all included a list of benefits for joining New 191 Battalion...

Participating in the test entitles you to a reward of ten thousand Thai Baht, passing the test earns a reward of fifty thousand Thai Baht...

Becoming an official member of the 191 Battalion after making it through Devil's Week earns a reward of fifty thousand Thai Baht.

At the same time, the salary standard for the 191 Battalion will increase by 30%, along with various training and mission subsidies.

As soon as these invitations arrived at the military units, they were snapped up by the Thai soldiers because just for participating they would get ten thousand dollars, which was indeed very tempting for soldiers who struggled to make ends meet.

The test started at 6 a.m., and by 1 p.m., 7 hours had already passed...

Since there was a one-hour break in between each round, not many were eliminated, and those who were fastest had already completed the fifth round, ready to sprint into the sixth.

Taigore, who had rushed to the training grounds along with Mountain Eagle and several officers, tugged them under a sunshade...

Several trucks loaded with supplies drove to the end of the training ground, then the rudimentary emergency food was replaced with various fresh seafood, meat, vegetables, and fruits.

Mountain Eagle watched as Taigore personally opened several large meal boxes and reached out, inviting himself and the other officers to share a meal...

He looked at the marks on the meal boxes, then at the chefs and waitstaff jumping down from the trucks, and chuckled, "You're paying out of your own pocket for a big feast for so many people. Are you not getting by?"

Saying that, he picked a lobster and placed it on the lid of a rice box, putting it on an empty chair for Balang to eat...

Taigore grabbed a huge burger stuffed with Wagyu beef, took a bite, then wiped the grease from his chin with his hand, and while chewing said, "The best soldiers deserve the best treatment!"

Mountain Eagle saw Balang eating happily, glanced at several excited officers next to him, shook his head slightly without saying a word...

He took half a lobster, the huge steaming lobster meat with cheese, and stuffed it boldly into his mouth, setting an example for the other officers who were a bit at a loss...

Watching their future boss eat with Mountain Eagle without any elegance, the officers exchanged glances and then lifted their meal box lids and dug in heartily.

Good taste or not, they just wanted to outdo Taigore in rudeness and enjoyment.

When a leader lowers his guard, it means he's either very angry or he wants to show his down-to-earth attitude to win over some people.

Mountain Eagle saw the sign, and naturally, he was ready to go along with it!

Ever since Samantha was rescued, this guy has been in a great mood.

That state of a man's pride being satisfied can't be concealed from others.

But there's a lot he can't say to others, and not even to his family; Mountain Eagle has nearly become his only confidant.

This kind of confiding includes work, life, emotions...

Taigore has come to regard Mountain Eagle as a truly close friend!

Even because of recent successes, he has unconsciously become dependent on Mountain Eagle regarding work issues...

Looking at the officers eating with happy faces, Taigore put down the half-eaten Wagyu burger, picked up a bottle of soda water, took a sip, then said to Mountain Eagle, "Will this test you've set up work?

Aren't those Seals supposed to listen to you? Why don't you let them test according to Seal standards?"

Mountain Eagle looked at Taigore, full of pride, with disdain and waved his hand, "That's something for Kamui later.

This test will only keep the 200 who last the longest, then they will go to Kamui, and take the test again according to Seal standards.

At that time, another 100 will be eliminated, until after they survive Devil's Week; only then will the official tactical training begin."

Taigore, looking at the soldiers scrambling on the training field, smacked his lips and said, "Isn't that a bit too much of a pity?"

Mountain Eagle was taken aback by Taigore's tone, then said irritably, "A pity? Do you know how much it costs to train a member of the Seal Six Team?"
