CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 374: THE SILENT CHOICE

Camel used 4 more bullets than Chickpea and also fell behind in time.

The retired Arctic Fox encountered the peak Arctic Fox, and in the critical moments of their confrontation, Camel lost!

This is related to Camel’s tactics and choice of weapon, using a revolver to hit an 80-meter target is an incredible move.

The 7.62mm SCAR-H he borrowed from Mountain Eagle is not his usual gun, and due to the recoil issue, he simply couldn’t speed up.

Watching Camel unconcerned with his performance after the shoot, he approached Chickpea and began to exchange their shooting experiences...

At this moment, Mountain Eagle realized he had underestimated the tightness of the relationship between the new and old members of Arctic Fox, and also underestimated their sense of belonging to Arctic Fox.

Despite significant differences in nationality, age, and even ethnicity, the older members were willing to impart their experiences without reservation...

This special emotional bond, which is akin to a bloodline connection, might be the core reason why Arctic Fox has persisted to this day.

In Mountain Eagle’s career, he had never seen such emotion and spirit in any group.

The teams he cooperated with in the game might be stronger than Arctic Fox, but he could never forge an emotional connection with NPCs, which led to his Lone Wolf style...

Even now, despite having skilled helpers like Butcher and Daria, he hadn’t completely changed his issues.

He could only cooperate with Butcher and the others tactically, but it was difficult to maintain a consistent rhythm.

Either he would overwhelm them, leaving them exhausting to keep up, or he had to slow down his own pace to accommodate them.

Under these circumstances, when simply discussing the integration of combat power, Mountain Eagle’s 1+1 was actually less than 2.

Mountain Eagle could only use his battlefield perception to make up for the shortfall in the 1+1 being less than 2 but could never fully utilize the team’s abilities to make 1+1 greater than 2!

Arctic Fox certainly can achieve 1+1 greater than 2; otherwise, they could not become number one in the world!

As Mountain Eagle pondered his own shortcomings and Arctic Fox’s strengths on a higher level, Silver Fox took the stage and vividly demonstrated another kind of Commander trait...

Silver Fox didn’t miss the first two targets, and for the third target at 80 meters, he still chose his handgun.

Despite rolling a ’2’, he still chose to move sideways to observe, completely unconcerned about the waste of time.

After he shot down the two rows of targets with his M9, he didn’t try to hit the bottle caps with his pistol like Camel did, but saved 5 bullets, picked up an old-looking M4A1 rifle, and rather embarrassingly placed it on a table to steadily shoot down 5 bottle caps...

This guy is two years older than Eddie, but his behavior seems twenty years older.

In the Arctic Fox team, Silver Fox isn’t particularly outstanding, but he is cautious, stable, and manages to perform slightly above average while keeping without mistakes.

This guy is like a clock’s hour hand; no matter how the minute and second hands move, it’s the hour hand’s movement that dictates effective actions.

Such a Commander’s personality ensures the lower limit of a squad’s performance.

As the squad members get used to the Commander’s style, the squad’s potential upper limit is also closely related to the Commander’s abilities.

Silver Fox’s abilities, by military standards, rightfully earn him the title of ’super-strong’...

But in reality, by Arctic Fox’s standards, Silver Fox’s ’1’ suppresses the other experts of Arctic Fox, preventing them from unleashing their full combat power and serving only the strategy.

Whether it’s right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, after all, the team is greater than the individual...

Being able to integrate a team and allow everyone to execute tactical maneuvers smoothly makes one a qualified Commander.

Considering the average ability rather than individual prowess, Silver Fox firmly achieves 1+1 greater than 2.

His presence may limit the performance of a few, but while it stabilizes the position of Arctic Fox, it also reduces the number of casualties.

This is probably why Blood Fox chose Silver Fox to be the active Commander of Arctic Fox, and also the reason Eddie detests him...

In Blood Fox’s mind, Arctic Fox needs stable operation, as they can’t afford more deaths.

While in Eddie’s heart, an Arctic Fox without zealous spirit is no longer the Arctic Fox he envisions.

In his view, Silver Fox is the one responsible for the downfall of Arctic Fox!

Mountain Eagle can discern some of Silver Fox’s personality traits just by observing his shooting style...

Initially, he was merely curious about Arctic Fox with no specific likes or dislikes, even feeling a bit negative towards Silver Fox due to his conservative stance on retirement fund management.

But after interacting with the people of Arctic Fox and becoming emotionally involved, he found that someone like Silver Fox is indeed very respectable.

Because he is almost fated to be the scapegoat for Arctic Fox’s downfall, and he is likely well aware of it!

It is normal for such a person to be conservative; if he, facing a high-profit report, were to hastily hand over that billion...

It would mean he’s opting out of taking responsibility, entrusting Arctic Fox’s most crucial matters to a newcomer.

Such a person does not deserve to lead Arctic Fox, nor even qualify as an adequate leader.

There aren’t that many chosen ones in the world, and having a Silver Fox that fits the current needs of Arctic Fox is somewhat fortunate for the larger Arctic Fox organization.
