"Sir, this one's the same! Zhao's Three Heroes are in the top three!"
"This one too!"
"This one… holy crap! Sir, look! Zhao Hanfeng's Military Merits just skyrocketed again! It's 1,020 now!"
What?!
Liu Canghai's face fell. He looked at the backup Assessment Token in his hand and, sure enough, saw that Zhao Hanfeng's Military Merits were at the very top of the rankings, having reached a terrifying four-digit number!
'This… what in the world is going on?'
A drop of cold sweat beaded on Liu Canghai's forehead. The Great Xia Dragon Guards' Assessment Tokens and light screens had never malfunctioned before. In this anomaly, he sensed a conspiracy afoot.
'What should I do now?'
'The safest option would be to halt the assessment and this operation, and have everyone pull out.'
'But if I do that, my own Military Merits will go down the drain. Plus, the Grand Commander will see me as incompetent, unable to even manage a simple assessment.'
'What to do, what to do…'
