talk
In front of the campfire, perhaps due to the atmosphere of the dark night in the wilderness, or perhaps because there was nothing to do at night, everyone began to talk about some of the past at a long time.
"Do you remember the Great Patriotic War that took place three years after the Honkai Revolution, when the Federal Heavy Industries Corps used air power to drop more than 3,000 heavy mechs and countless soldiers into our territory, swallowing up our entire eastern coast in one night in the name of the peacekeeping garrison of the old days. "Eric is talking about a war four years ago, when Luoyang was still struggling to survive in the wilderness, and he had not experienced or witnessed this war, he only knew that the night sky during that time was blood-colored, the earth trembled all the time, the sadistic wind carried the smell of gunpowder and blood wafted in the wilderness, all the mutated creatures were rioting because of the terrible earthquake, and even the sky above his head seemed to be about to collapse!
"There are many, too many people who have died. Al's eyes were slightly red, and he whispered, "At that time, I was doing voluntary assistance on the front line, and the Red Sun Empire had already issued a death order to 'keep leaving the front line', and the soldiers carried down were basically not complete, and many people could not be rescued." ”
"There are too many strong generals who died in the first year of the Dawning Era, which led to the collapse of the Red Sun Empire in the next few years, and once did not figure out the rules of the cube, nor did they have a complete set of military strengthening system, but the group of rabbit cubs in the Federation are smart, they don't rely on any evolutionary people, and they don't get any bloodline genes, they just exchange for the most advanced materials and energy, vigorously develop the military industry, and build the most powerful armored troops. It all had to be killed by the soldiers who rolled down to the chassis with explosives in their arms!" Eric, as an early settler, had no less affection for the empire than the native citizens, and at this time, at the mention of such a tragic past, coupled with the sadness of drinking, this iron-clad tough guy actually choked up like this.
Eric rubbed his cloudy eyes, suddenly drank all the wine in the bottle, and said arrogantly: "But so what! We have a lot of talents! I heard that when the war pattern was about to collapse, there was an evolutionary captain in the Red Sun Empire, and I don't know what ability it has strengthened, it is called an unstoppable! What mecha, what tank, and beat them into scrap metal with their fists, and scared the young master soldiers in the iron turtle to the point of urine, and beat them all over the wolf for three months, hahaha, relieve their anger!
"That legend, I think, is a false rumor. Ghost Hand snorted coldly, and said contemptuously, "When Honkai was 3 years old, there were no particularly powerful evolutionaries in the territory, and even now, there are not many evolutionaries who can fight against an armored force alone! And even if there is, how can it be a captain? After the first year of Honkai, the Red Blood Empire has put personal strength into the number one indicator of military rank, there is really such a character, he has already become a general, everyone knows it!" But if you look at the three generals now, one is a vegetative man who is in a coma all day, one is an old man who does nothing, and the other is a Confucian general who only talks about the scriptures and Taoism. ”
Lu Ren, who had rich experience in warfare in the old era, also smiled and said: "These things will always be passed on in the war, and there were people in our mercenary army who claimed to have taken a squad to capture a company, which scared us into a stunned moment, and thought it was the reincarnation of the god of war, but later I learned that the company he said was a ragtag army of civilians who didn't have guns, hahaha." "The ghost hand squinted,
said in a cold voice: "And you have also seen the final result of that war, no matter how fierce the battle was before and how evil it was spread, in the end, those dovish soft eggs of the Red Sun Empire were not compromised, and signed the terms to allow the Federation to garrison troops on the territory and divide a part of the city for them to govern, otherwise which round will get Marquis Charles to manage Dawn City?"
"Hey, the loss of power and humiliation of the country, it is really the loss of power and humiliation of the country! Regardless of whether that 'captain' is a legend or not, I really hope that the Red Sun Empire can produce a hawkish general who provokes the big beam as soon as possible, and it can't go on like such a soft egg anymore!" Eric looked like a patriotic hot-blooded young man at this time, he sighed sadly, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and said, "By the way, boys, little girls, do you have the idea of joining the army?" To be honest, I really have such thoughts, but I can't do without the Dawn team now, and I'm not strong enough, but I think I'll wear that imperial uniform one day, but I don't know if they'll take me as a bad old man, hahaha. ”
Ghost Hand sneered: "What's the point of joining the army? Anyway, it's all about fighting and killing, living freely in the wilderness, killing whoever you want, how good is that? Besides, the regular army of the Red Blood Empire is not necessarily very powerful, and I haven't encountered the cube squad of the imperial army." ”
Lu Ren also shook his head and said: "I don't know if the regular army is powerful, but just like the ghost hand said, I am used to freedom and I don't like to be managed." What's more, now the military headquarters of the Red Blood Empire is all doves, the whole territory is mainly fortified, and the army is basically invested in construction and city defense, which is not suitable for me at all, I don't want to stay in the city every day to farm and build walls. ”
"Glory to my lord. Al drew a cross on his chest and said in a soft feathery voice, "If there is a need, I will contribute." ”
"What about you?" said Eric, looking at the three "new kids".
In the process of carrying out the Foundation's mission, Luoyang generally doesn't pay attention to questions that have nothing to do with the mission, but this question is to hook up some memories in his heart, and in the blockade of the city of Sunset, the heroic posture of those soldiers who blocked him as a "monster" with iron and blood resurfaced in his mind.
In the old days, when Luoyang was a student, he was very thin, coupled with his soft appearance, he was always bullied, so he always had a wish in his heart, that is, when he grew up, he could become an imperial soldier, and use his iron body to tell those classmates who bullied him that he was no longer weak.
Now, Luoyang is indeed no longer weak, but those who bullied him are no longer there, they are all buried in the historical dust of the Honkai Era, and the once familiar Imperial Army was also wiped out in the first year of the Honkai in order to protect civilians.
Therefore, the idea of joining the army has long cooled in Luo Wei's blood over time, not to mention that his only goal now is to find Luo Wei, and it is still a question whether the Red Blood Empire can help him complete this matter.
After being silent for a while, Luoyang pointed at Ge Nuo and said, "Ask our captain."
"Huh?" Ge Nuo was stunned for a long time, then he remembered that Luo Wei had pushed the captain's responsibility on him before, and in the face of everyone's gaze, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and after being embarrassed for a long time, he kicked the ball back quietly, "Hahaha, let's see it when the time comes, and ask for the opinions of the players." ”
"Okay, yo, I've been chatting for so long, and it's not early, let's rest, take care of your energy, tomorrow may be a hard fight." Although Eric is an old man, he is more humane, he heard the perfunctory meaning in Arnold's mouth, and he also knew that now is not the time to think about this problem, because there is a cube task in front of him, and instead of thinking about the illusory problem of joining the army, it is better to think about how to deal with this mission first.
Everyone began to get ready to rest, but Luo Wei was still sitting in front of the campfire. Luoyang raised his head, looked at the darkening inky night sky, the stars were like the rings of history, changing in thousands of ways, he pondered for a while, got up and extinguished the bonfire, and then came to a quiet place, found a rock and leaned on it, held the magnetic rail sniper rifle in his arms, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
This night, Luoyang dreamed of the country of the old era, the ancient civilization precipitated for thousands of years, the boundless brilliant magnificent star field, and the vast and vast land, which was a pure land, a place that could never be returned, called "home"...
