Listen, the latest chapter of The King of Soldiers!

Chapter 001: The Last Mission

Bang!

In the dimly lit room, Qin Feng slowly extinguished the cigarette butt.

With the weak light, one could see that the ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts, and two empty cigarette packs were discarded on the floor. The entire room was shrouded in a haze of smoke, as if it were on fire.

He had smoked two whole packs of cigarettes in one night.

And before that, he had never smoked a single cigarette.

To be precise, since he put on his military uniform, he had never smoked a single cigarette.

Because, for a special forces soldier, especially a sniper, the smell of cigarettes is fatal!

"Phew~"

Qin Feng inhaled the murky air, got up, walked to the window, and pulled the curtains. The morning light shone through the glass into the room.

The sunlight was blinding, and his resolute face showed a brief moment of daze.

Then, he slowly shifted his gaze, surveying the military base known as the most mysterious special forces base, his eyes revealing a deep sense of reluctance.

After a moment, he closed his eyes, deeply inhaled the fresh air outside the window, and then turned, walked to the bed, squatted down, and gently touched the neatly folded military uniform.

The military uniform was specifically designed for special forces, with an arm patch embroidered with a "sharp sword."

Because of this arm patch, this special forces unit, which had no official designation and unknown affiliation, was known by foreign militaries as the "Sharp Sword" Special Forces.

It was the most mysterious special forces unit in China.

No exceptions!

But in the Chinese military, this unit was called "Dragon Tooth," the holy grail that all special forces soldiers aspired to join!

Qin Feng gently smoothed the creases of the military uniform, his movements light and slow, as if he were caressing a lover.

Finally, his fingers touched a golden medal, and his body trembled slightly as if he had been electrocuted. Then, he carefully picked it up, held it in his palm, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

"Knock knock..."

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Qin Feng heard the knock, gently placed the medal on the military uniform, picked up the uniform, and walked to the door.

Click!

The door opened, and four people stood at the entrance, blocking Qin Feng's way, their faces anxious: "Captain... Captain!"

"What are you doing?"

Qin Feng asked with a smile, but the smile was forced.

"Are you really leaving?"

The four people, their eyes red, stared intently at the military uniform and medal in Qin Feng's hand, speaking in unison.

"Not leaving, but being discharged." Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

"Captain, we'll go to the commander and plead for you to stay!"

"That's right, Mazi is already gone, you can't leave too!"

The two people in front spoke one after another, then fell into a brief silence.

The mention of "Mazi" stirred the pain in their hearts and made Qin Feng's body tremble violently!

Mazi, whose real name was Chen Mazi, was once their comrade, a brother-in-arms who could be trusted with his back in battle.

But now, Chen Mazi was gone, forever leaving this world!

This incident happened just a few days ago, and Qin Feng's discharge was directly related to it.

"Soldiers must obey orders. The higher-ups have made their decision, and it cannot be changed." Qin Feng adjusted his emotions and said solemnly.

"Captain, if you insist on leaving, we'll go with you..." The four people had a look of determination to follow him to the end.

"Don't be ridiculous, go to training immediately!"

Qin Feng interrupted them.

No response.

The four people stood like a wall in front of Qin Feng, unmoving.

"I haven't been officially discharged yet. Are you planning to disobey orders collectively? Or do you no longer recognize me as your captain?" Qin Feng shouted loudly.

"Captain..."

Faced with Qin Feng's reprimand, the four people's noses turned red, and their eyes filled with tears.

As members of Dragon Tooth, they had strong hearts and willpower. Even if they shed their last drop of blood on the battlefield, they would not shed a single tear.

But at this moment, they couldn't help but cry.

"When did you all become women? If you still consider me your captain, go to training now!"

Qin Feng shouted again, but his voice trembled.

The four brothers didn't want him to leave, and he didn't want to leave this "home" either.

"Yes!"

This time, the four people shouted in unison, saluted, turned, and ran away, their footsteps echoing through the dormitory.

Watching the four people leave, Qin Feng's eyes also turned red, but he quickly regained his composure and quickly walked out of the dormitory.

"Salute!"

The moment Qin Feng stepped out of the dormitory, a shout echoed outside.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

...

The sound echoed, and ten of China's best special forces soldiers, including the four from before, saluted Qin Feng.

They, along with Qin Feng and the deceased Chen Mazi, formed the Dragon Tooth, a unit that made foreign militaries tremble in fear!

"To fight alongside you is the greatest honor of my life. I look forward to seeing a new Dragon Tooth emerge among you!"

Swish!

Qin Feng's voice was hoarse as he slowly raised his right arm and made a textbook-perfect salute.

Then, he lowered his arm and, under the ten people's reluctant gazes, slowly walked toward the base entrance.

"Master..."

Watching Qin Feng's departing back, the only female among the ten, bit her lip, wanting to say something but ultimately held back.

At the base entrance, a military-licensed off-road vehicle was waiting. A major general sat in the back seat, watching Qin Feng approach, his expression complex.

His name was Wang Hucheng, the commander of this mysterious unit!

"Reporting to the commander, Qin Feng reporting!"

Under Wang Hucheng's complex gaze, Qin Feng walked to the car, saluted, and reported.

"Get in the car."

Wang Hucheng put aside his complex emotions and spoke straightforwardly.

"Yes, commander!"

Qin Feng responded loudly, then walked to the other side of the car and opened the door.

After doing so, he couldn't help but look back at his comrades still saluting at the base entrance, then got into the car.

"Commander..."

The car started, and Qin Feng was about to hand over his military uniform and Dragon Tooth medal.

However—

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Hucheng interrupted, "You can personally hand it to the old commander. Only he can decide your fate."

Clearly, he knew that if the old commander spoke up to keep Qin Feng, no one in the military would dare oppose. Similarly, if the old commander insisted on discharging Qin Feng, no one would dare disagree!

"The outcome is already determined. Why bother going to him?"

Qin Feng said solemnly, not retracting his military uniform and Dragon Tooth medal.

Wang Hucheng was silent.

"As the captain of the Sharp Sword Special Forces and the Dragon Tooth Special Team, I crossed the border without authorization, entered a foreign country, and engaged in combat. Not only did I violate military regulations, but I also violated international law, potentially triggering a war and becoming a traitor to the nation!" Qin Feng said in a low voice.

"If given another chance, would you do it again?" Wang Hucheng asked subconsciously, then realized it was a pointless question.

"Blood for blood. Those bastards killed Mazi, I had to kill them!"

As if to confirm Wang Hucheng's judgment, Qin Feng responded coldly, recalling the events of that day, his body radiating intense killing intent, wishing he could blow the heads off those mercenaries again.

"Just a line away. If you had eliminated those mercenaries on our territory, you wouldn't have been discharged. Instead, you would have been honored as a hero. Unfortunately..."

Wang Hucheng sighed, his voice filled with regret, and he was puzzled—what organization had the audacity to attack Dragon Tooth?

So far, despite the military's best efforts, no information about that organization had been found.

Wang Hucheng shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and repeated his question to Qin Feng, "Are you sure you won't go to the old commander?"

"I know him better than you and understand some things."

Qin Feng answered indirectly, hinting at something.

"Alright..."

Wang Hucheng sighed again, then with a regretful look, took the Dragon Tooth special forces uniform and the medal symbolizing glory and brilliance, which all special forces soldiers aspired to.

The car started, and Qin Feng watched his "home" and his brothers-in-arms through the rearview mirror, his heart heavy.

"Will the captain come back?"

Watching the car drive away, the ten Dragon Tooth members couldn't help but wonder.

No answer.

But they knew that since Qin Feng had left the military camp, he would definitely eliminate the organization that had betrayed Dragon Tooth from the face of the earth!

...

"Commander, I have a request."

After the car had driven far from the base, Qin Feng finally turned his gaze and spoke again.

"Go on."

Wang Hucheng was surprised, more so by the uncertainty of Qin Feng's request.

"Can you tell Mazi's family the real circumstances of his death?" Qin Feng turned his gaze, looked at Wang Hucheng, and his expression was particularly serious.

"No, that's against the rules!"

Wang Hucheng firmly shook his head. The Dragon Tooth special forces were the sharp edge of China's special forces. The members' files were confidential, and if they were killed, the death notice would conceal the true circumstances, stating it as a training accident.

"I know it's against the rules, but have you ever considered that they risk their lives to protect the country and people, yet after death, they cannot be honored as martyrs, and their true cause of death must be concealed. Isn't that too cruel?"

Qin Feng's emotions were visibly agitated.

"Indeed, it is cruel, but rules are rules. Moreover, you should know that this is also a way to protect the families—special forces often fight on the border, and if their identities were exposed, it would be a nightmare for their families!"

Wang Hucheng spoke solemnly, then handed Qin Feng an envelope, "This is Chen Mazi's death notice and compensation. The password for the card is six ones. You are responsible for delivering it to Chen Mazi's family—this is your last mission!"

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment but silently took the envelope.

"After completing this last mission, what do you plan to do?"

After the car arrived in the city, Wang Hucheng and Qin Feng got out of the car, and Wang Hucheng couldn't help but ask.

"This task won't be easy to complete."

Qin Feng's words were surprising.

"Uh..."

Wang Hucheng was taken aback, not understanding.

"Goodbye, commander!"

Qin Feng saluted and turned to leave.

That day.

He didn't tell Wang Hucheng that on the day Chen Mazi died, although he had crossed the border without authorization and killed twenty-eight mercenaries with a single gun, some mercenaries had escaped.

He also didn't tell Wang Hucheng that Chen Mazi had violated regulations on every mission by carrying a photo of his sister.

And that day.

He didn't find the photo on Chen Mazi's body or on the bodies of the dead mercenaries.

...

On the afternoon of the day Qin Feng was discharged, in the capital, at the top floor of a private club that the rich and powerful dreamed of entering.

A young woman in a business suit stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the dense skyscrapers and the endless flow of traffic below, lost in thought.

The setting sun's rays shone through the glass, illuminating her stunning beauty and impressive figure, as if she were draped in a golden veil, beautiful to the point of making one's heart race.

Knock... Knock...

After a moment, the knocking sound broke the silence in the room and brought the young woman back to reality.

"Come in."

The young woman slowly spoke two words, not using "please," and her originally calm eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Sister Xueyan, I heard Qin Feng was discharged from the military."

A young man wearing a gold-rimmed glasses entered the room, stopped three meters away from the young woman, and spoke.

"I never thought you would return in such a way..."

The young woman looked into the distance, her response indirect, her tone complex, as if mocking or sighing.

"Sister Xueyan, are you still hesitating?"

The young man with the gold-rimmed glasses frowned slightly, hesitated, and said, "Actually, from the day he chose to become a special forces soldier, your fate was already determined—you were to become the wife of a king, while he was just a soldier on the border."

"Even a king of soldiers is a king."

The sunset was blinding.

The young woman closed her eyes slightly and spoke softly, as if responding to the young man or talking to herself.

"But he's not even a king of soldiers anymore."

The young man with the gold-rimmed glasses argued, "To put it bluntly, without the glory of the Qin family, he doesn't even have the qualifications to carry your bag!"

"You underestimate him."

The young woman shook her head lightly, her expression gradually becoming firm, "Once, he could dominate the courtyard in the capital, daring to break Yang Ce's leg in public. Later, he became the only Dragon Tooth in the Republican Team. Who can say he will achieve nothing in the future?"

"I'm not saying he will achieve nothing, but I think he doesn't deserve you." The young man with the gold-rimmed glasses hesitated and said.

"Three years old, seven years old, a lifetime. I believe the man I, Li Xueyan, chose will not disappoint me."

The young woman stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her hands resting on it, gazing into the distance, as if seeing the future, her tone firm and her voice resolute, "Even if he disgraces the old Qin family and is outdone by others, I will consider myself blind as a hawk."
