Section 663 Succession
This is a considerable space. With a long passage, most of the ground is occupied by permanent fortifications, and the transportation tracks are interspersed and extended in the direction of the corridor. At the other end of the corridor, half a kilometer away, through the slight flashing force magnetic field, you can see the world outside the base.
The sound of gathering electronic horns came from the helmet. Su Hao heard it and felt it. It was an extremely heavy, like a drum beat, as if it was a huge heavy hammer and then hitting hard on the metal. It was extremely heavy, rhythmic, and almost breathless.
"Be careful and get out of the way."
Torugar shouted loudly, grabbed Su Hao's arm, pulled him away from his original position, giving up enough room.
The sound of the knocking is getting louder and closer. You can hear the footsteps of many people, the sound of steel boots moving on the deck.
As many as hundreds of legion soldiers, fully armed, walked along the base teleportation deck, and walked to more than ten armored personnel carriers respectively. Their power armor was painted with the eye-catching red emblem of "Iron Warriors". At the front of the team was the flag bearer holding the flag representing the company's location.
The captain's command sounded with a powerful aura, and the soldiers of the Legion stopped with a loud sound of stomping on the ground, as if they were sculptures, and then the auxiliary personnel quickly came to the team and led the soldiers onto their respective transport vehicles in rows.
Suha looked at them with emotion and enthusiasm. So many people, so perfect, so tall, so neatly integrated. These soldiers in red armor gathered here to go to the battlefield. Each of them has a clear identity, and it is simply a perfect, rigorous and spectacular picture.
"They are all legion soldiers who have completed their pre-war oaths."
Torugal whispered to Su Hao standing beside him: "Every imperial soldier must swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor when he starts serving. The main legion attaches more importance to oaths and prayer ceremonies. The loyalty and determination of these soldiers are unquestionable. However, before each mission, they will hold an instant oath and a "before war oath" to connect the task in front of them with their own determination. They will swear what purpose, demands, etc. Whether officers or ordinary soldiers, they regard this as more important than their own lives."
"I don't quite understand."
Su Hao's face showed a thoughtful look: "They have already sworn before, and the same procedure has been repeated. Is it necessary?"
"They swore to defend the truth of the human empire and the light of His Majesty the Emperor."
When Torugar looked at the soldiers of the legion, his eyes were full of respect: "Just as the name of the ritual "Pre-War Oath" suggests, every oath refers to each task alone, with a specific direction. It is definitely not an empty word that stays on the surface. If a soldier declares in the oath that he wants to kill ten enemies in this battle, he will do his best. Even if no one is supervising, he will urge himself with pious and fanatical beliefs. If he reaches, or exceeds the number mentioned in the oath, he will feel that the emperor's grace has come, and his whole body is bathed in an unprecedented glory, and is washed by the purest soul."
Su Hao asked back: "If the target is not reached and only eight or nine are killed, what will happen?"
Torugar's eyes shrank and turned to Su Hao, and replied calmly: "If this happens, it will be a great shame for the oaths. They will think that they have committed blasphemy and feel that they are no longer worthy of being guided by the sacred glory of His Majesty. Everyone will go to the church to confess, and under the supervision of the pastor or clergy, they will whip themselves, or conduct high-intensity training for self-corporal punishment. Until they think they have been forgiven, they will always warn themselves with more sincere belief that they must repay His Majesty's trust and forgiveness in the next battle in a more fanatical and fearless state."
Su Hao stopped talking and fell into silence.
The review of all survivors of the attack time has ended. Due to the sudden incident and the basic training program has ended, the training camp for the 10th camp can only go through the motions. Six people, including Su Hao, have obtained the "qualification" certificate. This is also the only time since the establishment of the 10th camp, has not issued a "excellent" certificate. It is said that Colonel Presans resigned because of this, but the senior leaders of the legion have not yet approved it.
Konoha Town has become a fixed zircon resource source for the "Iron Warriors" Legion. Of course, the large amount of weapons and equipment given to Dai Xiaolou is not his personal reason, but the legion leaders believe that it is necessary to further strengthen Konoha Town's defense capabilities. At least, it is necessary to build there into a legion stronghold and a solid military base.
In this context, it is not difficult to understand that Su Hao was sent to the PA UU space field as a member of the legion.
He has completed all training subjects and has become one of the true members of the "Iron Warrior". Due to previous military merit exchanges, Su Hao's rank of vassal officers has been cancelled and he has exchanged reciprocally, becoming a lieutenant of the army.
Of course, Su Hao is not currently considered a real lieutenant of the Legion. His rank and appointment letter are still in the Legion Personnel Department. He is just a candidate with undetermined qualifications. According to relevant regulations, he must go through the test of war before he can become a real officer.
It is precisely because of this background that the deacon Torugar, the Holy See, decided to follow the advice of his mentor Bishop Modilinia, voluntarily resign from his current position, and joined Su Hao in the 118th team, becoming a military priest.
This is also one of the regulations of the main legion: no matter what status or position, clergy, who serves as a legion for the first time, must start from the position of a combat squad as a military priest. The main legion only recognizes people with practical experience and does not need to sit in the office to read newspapers and drink tea. Even if there is such a person within the legion), then he must have been a soldier, obtained approval from the legion superiors, and assumes the responsibilities and obligations he deserves.
The main legion has never been a waste. Even the most inconspicuous logistics personnel are soldiers who can fight to kill the enemy in critical moments. This is simply incomparable to the Imperial Defense Forces, and it is also the reason why the main legion ranks first in the imperial army.
Under the leadership of Torugar, Su Hao walked into the Chimera personnel carrier numbered "UU5".
He bent over, held the guard above his head, and walked forward in the aisle. The interior of the car was not spacious, and you could see the legion soldiers sitting face to face on both sides. The weapons were locked in the cabin of the chariot. When there was an emergency, they would immediately unlock and start fighting.
Su Hao sat down in his seat according to the number on the power armor.
He has undergone a second operation. Like last time, this operation is also to wear a power armor. The shoulders and pelvis are penetrated, and nerve bundles and regenerate muscles connected to the armor are implanted. Su Hao has seen this type of power armor in Captain Nelson before. The comprehensive performance is excellent, far stronger than the low-performance quantization armor provided to the servants before. The weapons distributed are more sharp and are truly special equipment on the battlefield.
Turning sideways, Su Hao can see the cockpit of the personnel carrier. The two drivers turned their backs to the members of the car. The entire cabin is dim, with only various instrument indicators flashing, and some red and hot lights can be seen at the front hatch.
Opposite, a young soldier smiled at Su Hao, revealing his white teeth.
His name is Lusen, and like Su Hao, he is a recruit from the 118 team.
Sitting on the side was the team pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan. He was a person who almost never smiled and was very rigid. Although he was wearing the rank of lieutenant on his shoulders, like Su Hao, he was a newcomer who had just walked out of other training camps.
There were a total of twenty people in the carriage, including Torugar, forming a 118 team.
Su Hao felt very unfamiliar with his subordinates.
He almost didn't know them at all. But that's how he became a comrade-in-arms who had to rely on each other in a small team.
On Earth, such things are unimaginable.
But in the third stage of the world, everything becomes natural. The legion will not give you more time to adapt, and the army is very indifferent to interpersonal relationships. If you want to be recognized, the only way is to achieve the record. If you kill more on the battlefield, you will naturally get more.
Both new recruits and veterans must participate in the battle. The difference is that the new recruits have a lower risk in combat missions and have a greater chance of survival. Veterans are responsible for more heavier tasks, more tragic, and the most dangerous.
The empire has a huge territory, an astronomical population, and a wealth of resources. It is precisely because of these that the army dared to survive the fittest in such a cruel way and choose elites from countless soldiers.
The mission goal of Su Hao's team is clear: to reinforce the PI7 position.
The atmosphere in the car was dull, the cabin door was closed, and the personnel carrier began to start with the roaring engine. At this time, all hope and future could be left to the driver of the vehicle, praying that they would not blindly drive the car into the control area of the dark creature, or plant it from the cliff and crash into a ball of scrap iron.
The detailed tactical plans were sent to everyone's power armor computer. They did not require verbal instructions, but could fight according to their location. Under this comprehensive and digital management, the meaning of the existence of an officer is equivalent to the spiritual symbol of a small team. He can be a fool who cannot understand the tactical map or an idiot who does not know how to use combat equipment. But no matter what, he must be a warrior, who dares to rush forward at the most dangerous time, shouts fanatical slogans, and fights against the enemy to the death.
Private Lusen, who was sitting opposite, first broke the dull atmosphere in the car. He looked at Su Hao curiously: "Sir, how about you trained in the 10th camp? Isn't it scary?"
The three words "10l" immediately drove away the troubled elements in everyone's mind, and their thinking became lively in an instant. The attack caused by dark creatures had already spread within the legion. The familiar soldiers whispered and focused their eyes on Su Hao at the same time. Even the pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan, who had been closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and released a cold look.
"Scary? You used the wrong word."
Su Hao shook his head and said lightly: "Only for those who do not abide by the rules, this is terrible. Of course, the assessment standards will be stricter than other training camps, but as long as you do it seriously, anyone can pass the test."
This sentence has a very comfortable and tolerant element. After hearing this, many of the soldiers showed a knowing smile. Although they didn't have a long time to contact, their first impression of Su Hao was still good, not as bad as they imagined.
Private Luther should be the kind of person with a strong curiosity. He continued to ask, "Sir, can you tell me about the dark creatures attacking you? I heard that many people died at that time? Is that true?"
Su Hao's body kept shaking with the bumps of the car. He nodded calmly: "It's very miserable. No one expected that such a thing would happen. The portal was less than thirty meters away from me, and dark creatures came out one by one. They were all Dark Knights, the strongest one was the Dark Earl. Their weapons were very primitive, but they had thick skins and scales equivalent to the power armor of our bodies. The people and friends I knew were dead. Some of their heads were split in half, and some were directly hit by guns and nailed to the tree. There were minced meat and blood everywhere, and only I and the other five people survived by chance."
A soldier sitting a little further from the side asked, "Why didn't you fight back?"
"We can't fight back."
Su Hao glanced at him and said seriously: "That was long-distance field training. According to the fixed condition, no one can carry weapons and equipment except for the training set on his body. The attack position chosen by the dark creatures was very clever. We were divided into two halves during the rock climbing process. They suddenly appeared without any expectation. We were unprepared. Although we fought to kill several dark knights, they were not their opponents after all."
The carriage fell into silence again.
After a long time, Private Lusen slowly said: "You are a lucky commander. Following you, I should be able to survive the chief combat mission."
This statement is somewhat flattering, but it is not malicious.
"That's not necessarily."
Su Hao smiled faintly, his tone suddenly became deeper, and his voice was full of seriousness: "I just want to kill a few more dark creatures, and it is best to completely clear them from this world. I vowed in front of the emperor's statue: I will use the heads of dark creatures to blood to sacrifice those dead people. Each dead person must put a hundred monster heads in front of the spirit. If I die in battle before this, then the soul will also go to hell and bear the torture of flames forever."
The PI7 position is located on the side of the mountain range. The Chimera personnel carrier can only walk to the mountainside. A section of the too rugged behind can only rely on soldiers to walk forward.
When he jumped out of the car, Su Hao felt the cold air coming to his face. This place is located at a higher altitude in the entire space field. The air is very thin, and the thick clouds block the sunlight. The shape of the mountain peaks in the distance is vaguely visible, like a sharp ice and snow spire at the tip.
The sky is white, the peaks under the sky are white, and the clouds in the air are white. Downwards are steep rifts and glaciers, and in front of the high ground are the peaks that are vaguely exposed in the smoke and clouds facing the sun.
The soldiers of the 118 team organized their respective weapons and equipment, arranged their teams neatly and in an orderly manner, and under the leadership of Su Hao, they stepped into the thin and cold air.
The steel boots crushed the ice slag on the ground, making a crisp sound of breaking.
Half an hour later, the position set on the top of the mountain was already far away.
This is a circular fortification made of steel and concrete and large rocks. Dozens of Imperial Defense Forces in snow camouflage uniforms are stationed here. They are wrapped in heavy coats and breathing aids. When they see the soldiers wearing red armored legion soldiers, Su Hao clearly felt that the guards all released a relief expression on their faces.
A captain officer came over and saluted Su Hao simply. He wore a filtered breathing mask that could provide oxygen, and his voice sounded vague and dull: "Emperor, you are the first legion reinforcements in two months. I thought that only our National Wehrmacht was responsible for the battle. With you, the next thing should be simple."
Su Hao nodded, looked at the cliffs shrouded in the white morning light on the side, entered a string of instructions in the laptop computer, pointed to the files flashing on the holographic screen, and said, "This is our squad number proof. From now on, the battle will be taken over by us."
"I have to remind you that the dark creatures on the opposite side are very powerful."
The Wehrmacht Captain checked his identity code and warned: "The terrain on both sides cannot be crossed, only the stone bridge in the middle can pass through. Every time we pressed it, we will be suppressed by their long-range firepower. I think they have no advantage in quantity, but they occupy extremely favorable terrain. It was simply a slaughterhouse. We lost hundreds of people here, and those dirty dark creatures had several shooting positions that could be cross-controlled. Bows, guns, single-shot weapons... Although these weapons are very primitive, it is still necessary to admit that dark creatures do have an advantage in physical strength and strength. We..."
"I understand that from now on, we will take over everything here."
Su Hao repeated the previous words: "I want to solve these dark creatures as soon as possible, just like you think. I will remove them one by one."
"We, just go on like this?"
Su Hao's words silenced the National Defense Force Captain for a few seconds. When he spoke again, his voice was already mixed with a hint of sourness and bitterness: "We have been fighting here for several months, and the bodies are piled up in hills, so many that you can't believe it."
