Chapter 165: Servant Beast (Subscription Requested)
From nightfall to sunrise, it's only seven hours!
Before Allen's jet lag had recovered from Earth, he quickly put on his uniform with his swollen head and led his team to the big playground. The day of the Underworld Star is only 18 hours, the days are long and the nights are short, and when you first arrive on this planet, you have to go through a period of time to adjust. Of course, the army will not let you change on your own slowly, but will use strong means to turn you around in a very short period of time, from physical to mental.
Those who couldn't adapt were either sent back or died in an armed conflict.
On the large playground, ten squads and more than 100 soldiers lined up neatly. Today Colonel Berry came to the playground with another officer, who looked quite young, in his early twenties. Short hair is dry, gray, and dull. On his cold face, an ugly scar crossed his eyes, across the bridge of his nose, and almost cut his head open.
The eyes with azure pupils shot a cold gaze across the soldier's face. Alan noticed his right hand, which was a mechanical prosthetic. Instead of camouflaged artificial skin grafting, the cold metal bones and the energy wires that replaced the blood vessels were exposed. The officer had a tactical long knife hanging diagonally from his waist, and the knife had the emblem of an eagle's head. It was an extended version of the Steel Eagle Sword, which belonged to the standard equipment of the melee class in the army, but it was not a weapon of the Demon Martial Arts.
His epaulettes are two long swords side by side upside down, indicating the rank of major. A major uses a standard weapon, either to support the big one, or to have excellent skills in this weapon. Judging from the fierce murderous aura that he couldn't hide, Allen believed that it was the latter.
"Rookies, this is Major Cogess. It is also your instructor, and what you have to do is to follow the provisions of the soldier's manual, obey and obey again! Colonel Berry exclaimed, "Now, count!" ”
As the soldiers began to count, Berry whispered a few words to Kirgeth and pointed at Alan and Lucy before turning away. After the soldiers finished counting, Kejies stretched out his hand to signal quietness, and then said: "You have a three-month internship period, and only those who can still stay after the internship period will be officially used by the base." Otherwise, all those who are not qualified will fuck me off. ”
His voice was hoarse, like sand scraping against an iron plate, and it was definitely not pleasant. The Major's gaze swept over Alan and Lucy, and he added, "I know that some of you have special status. Hey, it's a pity that this isn't Babylon, I don't care about Miss Young Master. Here you are just soldiers! It will only be soldiers! If I let you run, you will never be able to use it for me, you understand! ”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded in unison.
Kirgeth nodded and said, "Then now, I will announce the task you have to accomplish today. Sergeant Allen, please come out with your own team! ”
Alan immediately led his men out in a procession, and Kirges walked up to Allen with a smile on his face. He casually pointed to a barn on the other side of the playground and said, "Your task today is to clean that dormitory, yes, I want to see that every corridor is spotless." This work must be done before sunset, or you won't have to eat tonight. ”
"Yes, sir." Alan replied, then gestured, and without saying a word, led the people to the dormitory designated by Cojies.
Seeing this, Hubble smirked, yesterday he had found his brother who was a major and sued Allen severely. Now that Alan was clearly being harassed by Kirges, Hubble thought to himself, and who would dare to get along with him in the future.
"Sergeant Hubble! Lined up! Kirgeth exclaimed suddenly.
Hubble hurriedly retracted his smile and led his team out of the ranks. Ke Ges pointed to the other dormitory with a blank face and said, "That's your job today." ”
"Brother, you're not mistaken, are you?" Hubble thought he had misheard.
Kirgeth said coldly, "Watch your tone, sergeant. There are no brothers here, only majors and sergeants! ”
"Yes, sir." Hubble hurried, and then left with the team in a gloomy manner.
As a result, today, all ten squads were assigned the same task. Each squad is responsible for the cleaning of a barnhouse, without exception.
The second and third days were all the same work. On the fourth day, at last, some soldiers began to complain.
"I'm gone!"
Alan was vacuuming the hallway when he heard a soldier shouting and throwing the broom on the ground, and he shouted, "Lao Tzu is here to fight, not to be a worker!" That major was clearly teasing us! ”
"It's like, even if it's like training us in the reserve regiment, you actually let us be sweepers, what is the matter?"
Several soldiers responded.
Alan raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "What is the first article of the soldier's manual?" ”
No one answered, and Alan himself said, "It's obedience." ”
"What about the second one?" He asked again.
Natsu stepped forward and replied, "Still obey." ”
"The third!" Allen's tone began to sharpen.
The few soldiers who wanted to strike reluctantly replied: "Obey." ”
"That's right, it seems that you haven't forgotten that you are a soldier. The order of the major, all we have to do is obey and do our best. Instead of thinking about whether this order is for us to clean the dormitory, or to go into battle and kill the enemy. Besides, if you have the strength to complain, it is better to try to get through the internship period as soon as possible. After becoming an official establishment, are you still afraid that you will not have the opportunity to fight? Alan said in a deep voice, "Then, if there are no other problems, let's keep working." ”
"Yes, sir."
"It's too quiet for me to hear."
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers shouted.
Standing in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory, faintly hearing a roar coming from upstairs, Kerges smiled and turned to leave.
Soon a week passed, and this week Eren and their tasks can be described as boring. But every day, Alan would ask his soldiers to do their best and do it strictly according to the Major's requirements. At the same time, Alan also quickly adapted to the environment of the Underworld Star. On Monday of the second week, when he stood on the large playground again, he had fully adapted to the law of the Underworld Star, which was long and short nights.
Today, Major Kerges has an extra tablet brain in his hands. On the screen of Zhi Brain is a table that lists the results of the ten teams this week. Among the ten teams, only Allen's daily score is "A", the rest are all AB, and some teams even have a C rating. After announcing the results, Kirges said, "From this moment on, Sergeant Allen and his team will enter the second phase of learning. As for you, when you get all A's in a week, that's when you can move on to the next stage of your studies. ”
"I know it's boring to clean the dorm. But this task tests your obedience to your superiors, and on the battlefield, the orders of your superiors are a qiē. There is no time for you to question or object, all you have to do is to do it as quickly as possible. If you can't obey orders, then what's the point of fighting? Kirges said.
One of the sergeants raised his hand and said, "Major, do you mean that even if the order of the superior is wrong, we must do it?" ”
"Yes, there can be no doubts in the army, at least absolutely during the fighting. One person's doubts sometimes affect the overall layout, and even drag down the battle situation in other places. "Of course, if it is confirmed after the war that the order is wrong, then the person who issued the order will be punished accordingly." Perhaps, this is unfair to the soldiers involved in the fighting, but the military department can only do this. At the same time, it also requires everyone who gives the order to understand that they are shouldering the life and disgrace of the entire team! Every order, you have to be careful! ”
From this day onwards, the place where Alan and the others gathered was no longer a playground, but a tactical conference room that could accommodate thirty or fifty people. Of course, for the time being, this room is only Alan and the team. Kirges stood on the podium in the conference room, behind him was an electronic curtain wall. Now, some pictures are emerging on the electronic curtain wall. These images are all dangerous species on the planet of the Underworld, and Corgeth reaches out and presses against the curtain wall, pulls out a picture from it, and enlarges it.
In the picture, there is a giant ant with a human man next to it as a reference, so it is not difficult to see that this ant is the size of a light motorcycle. The ant's carapace was reddish-brown, with dark hairs on its joints and limbs, and two scimitar-like jaws protruding from the mouthparts of its head. The most striking thing is its pair of forefeet, which have a knife-edged tip.
"This is the Sword Ant, one of the most common dangerous species on the Underworld Star, and it is also a servant beast that the Sword Demon Tribe can tame and use as cannon fodder for war." "The Blood Eagle base, although it is in charge of logistics, is located in the rear of the battle line. But trust me, your chances of encountering the Sword Demon Servant Beast will not be much less. Just like this knife ant, they are highly adaptable and have a short reproductive cycle, and almost every medium-sized tribe will keep servant beasts like this in captivity. ”
"Knife ants are aggressive, and the blades of their forefeet can lightly cut an adult in half. However, they are fragile and can be effectively killed by ordinary firearms rifles. The reason why knife ants are troublesome is not in their individual combat strength, but in their swarming. Often, when you see a knife ant, there will be at least one colony of thousands of ants in the vicinity. ”
Korges opened another picture, which was a long worm. The same adult male as a reference, it can be seen that this insect has a body as thick as an oil drum, no eyes and nose, and many pairs of feet. There is a big mouth hanging on his head, and his sharp teeth are turned out, and he looks hideous. The major introduced: "This is a burrowing worm, and it is also one of the servant beasts in captivity of the Sword Demon Tribe. It's just that unlike the knife ant, which is responsible for attacking, as its name suggests, the main job of this insect is to dig tunnels. Drillers and swordsmen are the two most widely distributed and most abundant dangerous species on the Netherworld. Even if they are not kept in captivity by the tribe, they are still the objects we need to be vigilant and eliminated. ”
"There are some knife ant nests and ground insect nests near the Blood Eagle Heights, and a large part of the task of the soldiers at the base is to sweep away these dangerous species so that they do not break into the base and cause damage."
As soon as Cojess finished speaking, a shrill siren suddenly sounded outside! R1058
