Chapter 17: The Humble Inauguration Ceremony
The week-long week of death finally came to an end as the sun slowly set, and after the five physically and mentally exhausted rookie teams converged again, looking at the team with only 32 people left, the rookies were filled with grief and anger.
Four people "died" in the mouth of the monster, and seven people finally chose to pull the signal rod and quit.
Except for the sentinel in charge of guarding, the rest of the rookies leaned on each other dejectedly, slowly savoring the pain and sadness in their hearts.
After Ye Xiao died in the mouth of the black wolf, they swore murderously to avenge their comrades-in-arms and avenge the comrade-in-arms who had always stood in front of them - but after seven days, not only did they not kill the black wolf, but three other comrades-in-arms died.
"Yezi, I'm sorry......" Xiao Lang looked at the front blankly, but his eyes were not focused, Ye Xiao's face kept appearing in front of his eyes, and finally turned into a bloody appearance......
"Lao Tzu quit!" Zheng Zhichun suddenly broke out, and after roaring, he ran away with his weapon - he was not a deserter, he wanted to avenge the man who had always inspired and they had always set an example for them!
A big fist struck, and Zheng Zhichun, who was physically exhausted, was knocked down by a punch before he could react, and the wolf warrior looked at Zheng Zhichun with a blue face: "Leave the weapon, you get out!" ”
This self-respecting man pointed his gun at the wolf with red eyes, and roared: "I'm going to find that beast, I'm going to slaughter it!" Instructor, let me go...... Let me go...... I want to avenge Ye Xiao! ”
Wu Si, Xiao Lang and the others stood up one after another after hearing Zheng Zhichun's roar, "Instructor, give us another chance!" We're going to kill that beast!" ”
The expressions of the old birds changed suddenly, and Zheng Zhichun's behavior of pointing a gun at the wolf warrior surprised them, ignoring the rookies who were shouting, and surrounded Zheng Zhichun, who was almost out of control.
"Put down the gun! Do you know what the nature of your gun is pointed at the instructor? Wolf Warrior asked in a deep voice.
Zheng Zhichun laughed miserably: "I will be expelled from the army, instructor, I don't regret it, I want to avenge Ye Xiao, he is my comrade-in-arms!" If I don't avenge him, I'll be a man in vain! ”
Thinking of the nature of Zheng Zhichun pointing the gun at the instructor, the rookies were frightened at this time, and Wu Si said sharply: "Brother Chun, don't get excited, put down the gun!" ”
"Brother Chun, don't be impulsive, put down the gun!"
The rookies roared anxiously, and there were already people among the murderous old birds who aimed their guns at Zheng Zhichun, who was extremely unstable-for them, the wolf warrior was their comrade-in-arms who depended on each other for life and death, Zheng Zhichun was just a rookie, once it came to the last moment, they would definitely shoot for their comrades-in-arms, even if they were in prison for it!
"Bastard!" An angry shout attracted everyone's attention, Qiu Yun's eyes were on fire, and when the rookies saw the people behind Qiu Yun, they screamed in disbelief.
"Brother Xiao!"
"Wang Silong!"
"Chen Rui!"
"Liu Yucheng!"
The rookies looked at these four familiar faces in disbelief, and for a while they couldn't believe it.
Zheng Zhichun was also stunned, the muzzle of the gun drooped unconsciously, and several figures pounced like leopards, quickly controlling Zheng Zhichun with standard capture methods.
"You're not dead?" Zheng Zhichun ignored the arm that was being slammed back, looked at Ye Xiao with a happy expression, and then came back to his senses - the damn dragon blade must be fucking cheating again!
"!!"
At this time, the kid reacted, something bad happened, and he did something earth-shattering...... Pill Bird!
The old birds quickly dropped the weapons of the rookies, and then the three-headed monster came out step by step with the old man's steps, and after seeing the stunned rookies, the monster grinned and roared in greeting.
A black wolf, a horse monkey, and a grizzly bear.
It was these three demonic beasts that ate the four comrades of the rookies - now that everything is revealed, it is obvious that these three bastards are their own people......
"Da Hei, an eighth-level demonic beast, a guardian beast of the third brigade of the dragon blade, with the rank of lieutenant colonel!"
"Hu Falcon, seventh-level Demonic Beast, Brigade Guardian Beast, Major rank!"
"Xiong Yan, seventh-level demonic beast, brigade guardian beast, major rank!"
With the introduction of the old bird, the three-headed demonic beast psychic returned the kindness of grinning teeth to the rookies, but the rookies ignored it arrogantly.
"Don't you know how to salute when you see the chief?" Qiu Yun asked coldly, and the rookies saluted the monsters one after another, and one by one they were reluctant, causing the old birds to kick a few unlucky eggs fiercely.
The disrespectful behavior of the rookies made the major angry.
Akiyun was angry, and the consequences were serious - the rookies who could have taken the spaceship could only walk to the camp on foot, which would take at least eight hours.
But for the rookies who can see their resurrected comrades, the eight-hour punishment is like a girl's greeting!
The rookie who came back to life was retaliated by the rookies who had been sad for a long time, but only Ye Xiao escaped such an emotional catharsis - he announced to the rookies:
"I have good news for everyone, Purgatory training has ended, and you don't have to worry about the last week of Purgatory Week! We have officially become the soldiers of the third brigade of the Dragon Blade, the special forces of the empire! ”
"Really?" The rookies couldn't believe it, they were ready to continue to be refined, but they didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly!
"It's more real than real gold!" Ye Xiao's wanton laughter opened the prelude to the rookies to vent, they roared, laughed and cried, so many comrades-in-arms walked into the purgatory of the dragon blade, walked into the gate of hell, many gave up, left, and were eliminated, they thought they couldn't see hope, they struggled in the sharp sarcasm of the old birds, in the face of despair, fear and death, they struggled hard, finally, finally survived to the end!
"We made it!" Zheng Zhichun, whose arm was still in severe pain, was also giggling, he wanted to tear off the rookie chapter with irony and contempt, but was stopped by Ye Xiao.
"Don't tear it, our rookie career isn't over yet...... The reason why we were agreed to enter the Dragon Blade in advance is because we have to participate in the formation of a test unit to conduct a military reform test, and we will continue to receive training in the test unit until we become a real special forces! If you can't persist in training, you will still be kicked out of the Dragon Blade, the Dragon Blade is the top special forces in the empire, and the standard must be the top! I hope that my brothers can persevere in their training and transform into qualified dragon blade warriors! ”
"Not done yet?" The rookies lamented in unison, especially Zheng Zhichun, whose expression was even more uncertain - did he quit by himself or waited to be kicked out? This baby thought of the proud withdrawal after deciding to join the Dragon Blade, but at this moment she hesitated.
He didn't want to leave this collective that had been struggling for more than twenty days, and he didn't want to leave the Dragon Blade!
Ye Xiao understood what Zheng Zhichun was thinking, and he grabbed Zheng Zhichun's shoulder: "Actually, the dragon blade is quite good." ”
Zheng Zhichun rubbed his aching shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Will I be kicked out?" ”
"No, three days at most, and you have to be prepared when you go back...... After all, it's excusable, but there will definitely be no next time! Ye Xiao smiled.
Zheng Zhichun was happy at first, and then suddenly became angry, and wanted to slam Ye Xiao to the ground, but Ye Xiao flexibly avoided it, and the angry child scolded: "Bastard, it's not you who caused it, squat and walk away with Lao Tzu!" ”
After the rookies heard that Zheng Zhichun was fine, they began to laugh at this unlucky child - as for confinement? That's a big deal!
Then he remembered that he hadn't vented his passionate emotions to Ye Xiao, and under the coaxing of Xiao Fatzi, he surrounded Ye Xiao and threw him into the sky......
……
It took only seven hours for the rookies to get out of the jungle after the estimated eight hours, and after a hurried clean-up, the rookies lay down in their long-lost tents, and fell asleep after a while.
After sleeping for less than four hours, the wake-up call squeaked and a new day began.
It's the rhythm of the day, but it's soft for the rookies!
I only ran for an hour of morning exercises, without increasing the amount and price, and then had breakfast, and after breakfast, the welcome ceremony from the dragon blade officially began.
Major Zhao You acted as the person from the headquarters, presided over by Qiu Yun, and the command of the third brigade came forward together, and this hurried welcome ceremony began.
The process that Ye Xiao was extremely familiar with, but the rookies felt extremely strange, especially after learning that the dragon blade was the last seed of the Imperial Black Flag Army, the rookies were full of an unprecedented sense of responsibility and honor!
"The Black Flag Army is an indelible existence in the history of the imperial army, whether it is the empire's founding war or the three Great Patriotic Wars, this great army in black clothes and black armor has made peerless feats!"
"It is undeniable that more than half of the prestige of the Black Flag Army was obtained through barbarism and slaughter, and we will not inherit this barbarism and massacre, but we must inherit the honor of perseverance, indomitable battle, and loyalty to the empire!"
"Everyone swear an oath to me!"
"From today onwards, I join the Black Flag Army's Dragon Blade Force! Defend the interests of the Empire! Defend the people of the Empire! Loyal to the Empire! Swear not to betray the Empire! Don't tarnish the honor of the Black Flag! ”
In a solemn oath, the rookies joined the Imperial Dragon Blade Force, became the warriors of the Third Dragon Blade Brigade, and really received their own military rank - Ye Xiao hung up the rank of sergeant, but no one raised any objections.
Most of the rookies crossed the rank of private and hung up the rank of private, and only a few who performed well were hung up with the rank of corporal.
The rank of corporal means that they become full-fledged soldiers, not compulsory soldiers – they can receive a formal pay and make it a profession to be a soldier, rather than being a conscript, after eight months of recruit training plus two years of compulsory military service.
After the rookies solemnly hung up their ranks, the inauguration ceremony of the third experimental detachment officially began, and a total of 84 people, including 36 rookies and 48 old birds, formed the vanguard of the imperial military reform.
There was no firecrackers, no flags, not even spectators!
Simple, simple, and low-key!
If it weren't for the brigadier general's exciting speech that put everyone on their backs and set off the inauguration ceremony of the third detachment of the imperial military reform, there would not have been even a trace of waves!
"The third detachment is an attempt to reform tactics, and you will conduct an unprecedented experiment, and I can tell you that this is an attempt across the era, an attempt to rewrite the chapter of military warfare!"
"You are pioneers, so you will encounter many, many problems, and if there are problems, it is not terrible, just solve them! Don't be intimidated by failure, don't be defeated by disappointment. The road of pioneers is extremely bumpy, and I hope you can step on the bumpy road and walk out of a glorious road! ”
Brigadier General's inspiring speech gave the participants a heavy sense of mission, and at this moment, they were extremely enthusiastic and proud, even if there were thousands of mountains in front of them, they firmly believed that they could step on the flat!
"You are lucky to catch up with the establishment of the third detachment, and you ended the assessment of the dragon blade in a hurry, don't be lucky, because the dragon blade is the most stringent unit of the imperial standard, and there are only 10 training points per person every year, once you deduct the training points, sorry, you can only leave the dragon blade, so don't relax your requirements for yourself! In the third detachment, you still have to temper yourselves and make yourself a true dragon blade warrior! ”
Qiuyun ended the hasty inauguration ceremony of the third detachment with a warning - before the results, the army was always so low-key.
When the results appear, they have the capital to be proud and proud! And now, all they have to do is step out of the way!
Ye Xiao silently watched this army that had been fought for by himself, but his heart became excited-the rewriting of the future starts here!
The Empire, there will be no more failures!
