Chapter 61: The Enemy
The hunt in the jungle continues, only this time, the original hunter becomes the prey.
The young woman with the dragon slayer badge on her chest frantically fled through the woods, and the lofty aura of her previous life as a hunter was gone, leaving only a lost dog in her body.
The inverse difference between the front and back is often stark.
The woman's beautiful and delicate face was a little too pale at the moment, she did not have any wounds on her body, she was in good physical condition, and I don't know why her face was so ugly.
She was covered in cyan aura, and a breeze flowed rapidly through the air everywhere she passed.
The woman's behavior is a little strange - her class in Marvel Games is a ranger known for her agility and agility, but if others see her acting at this time, I am afraid that she will not be able to equate her with the class of ranger.
Although the woman's running speed is extremely fast, the movements of her limbs are extremely uncoordinated, whether it is the lifting of hands or feet, there is such a stiff feeling, and every few steps will appear in the same hand and foot. She didn't seem to have any problems with her body, but she often stumbled and nearly fell as she ran.
Her clumsy and extremely uncoordinated movements, far from reminiscent of the dexterous profession of a ranger, make people feel ......
She was like a toddler!
The woman's expression was very urgent, and she had been trying to increase her running speed, but the extremely uncoordinated limbs were seriously hindering her movements—she felt that she had to struggle to control them, as if they were not her own limbs at all.
Run...... The monster is coming after you......
Her right hand gripped the longbow so tightly that she could even feel a dull pain in the back of her right hand from the pressure.
The woman tried to relax her right hand with the bow slightly, but found that she could not make such a simple movement.
At that moment, a strange sound rang in her ears.
There was a roar that looked like a beast and a ghost.
Her pretty face suddenly turned from pale to pale.
……
"It's almost impossible to keep peace among many races who have mutual grudges and have fundamentally different ideas and values, so I felt very unbelievable when I learned that the background setting of the Azure Continent was so peaceful - I guess you thought so at the time, Mr. Xu Ke." Lei Ruoya looked at Xu Ke.
Xu Ke nodded: "That's right...... Indeed, as Miss Ruoya said, this could not have happened at all. Often, there is only one possibility for them to maintain peace and unity in such a situation......"
"That's what they actually have together...... Something powerful that will make them let go of their hatred for each other. Lei Ruoya added for Xu Ke.
In fact, if you have reached a conclusion, it is not difficult to confirm its correctness from the beginning. If you look at it deliberately, you can see that there are many places in this game with such clues.
First of all, it is the training of soldiers who are too diligent.
In fact, according to common sense, soldiers in a small border town like Belia do not need any high-intensity training at all.
But I don't know if you found out Mr. Xu Ke......
The soldiers of the city of Belia train almost every day!
The soldiers who came to the tavern every day to drink complained that they had been training almost every day in the recent period, and that the intensity of the training was extremely high.
If only it was a short-term sexual activity, it would be fine, but it ......
According to a soldier I know, they have been training at a high intensity every day since they joined the army!
The intensity has only increased in recent times, and the frequency of their training has remained at an excessively high level since very early on.
If in a normal fantasy game or novel, you would think of the soldiers of a small border town like Belial, which is remote and mixed?
I think most of them will see them as the kind of ruffians who are scattered, unorganized, incapable of fighting, and can only make money.
After all, this kind of place is usually far away from the emperor, and the geographical location is not very important. And because of the mixture, many things that happened in the city were not really strictly controlled by the soldiers, so they had to turn a blind eye.
So under such conditions, it is very normal for soldiers to gradually become ruffians.
Then you say...... Why do the soldiers of Belial City have to maintain high-intensity training all the time, even though it is the same setting?
The Azure Continent is safe, there is almost no so-called banditry, and although Belial City is located on the border, it does not occupy an important geographical location, and there is a large city not far behind Belial City - that is the main force of the Human Empire to hold the border.
In other words, even if the peace is broken, it will not be their turn for other races to wage war against humanity......
So, what is the point of them still maintaining high-intensity training in such a situation?
Fear...... It's just to guard against some kind of potential enemy.
It may indeed be a little pale to take this one thing as evidence, because judging from this incident alone, the army's constant high-intensity training may also be due to the human empire's premeditated plan to wage war against the rest of the race at any time.
The more important evidence is......
The number of the permanent army of the city of Belia was eight thousand.
What is the concept of 8000?
I think Mr. Xu Ke, you must know the population of the Human Empire - judging from the total population of the Empire, not to mention that the continent is now in a peaceful background, even in times of war, it is too much to station 8,000 troops in a small city of tens of thousands of people like Belial!
Although it is not clear about the specific army of the Human Empire, according to common sense, this kind of small city may usually be stationed with a few hundred soldiers, even considering the particularity of the need to maintain the legal system in the Azure Continent, what two thousand troops say is enough.
If it is said that the army is hoarded and premeditated for foreign wars, then there should not be so many troops stationed in Belia.
Hoarding an army in a place like Belial, where all races are mixed, is very easy for news to leak out, and only a little bit of information is leaked...... As long as the other races are not fools in power, they must be able to easily perceive the intentions of mankind!
There are 8,000 troops stationed in such small cities, and there are no less than 200 such small cities in the Human Empire, and according to the budget of this size, the army of the Human Empire ......
I'm afraid it won't be less than 30 million.
The total population of the Human Empire is only 200 million.
This is almost all soldiers, and under normal circumstances, if the Human Empire had an army of this size, I am afraid that it would have started a war a long time ago.
But they didn't.
They're just training at a high intensity all the time, at a tremendous scale.
It's like a well-wound machine, running non-stop every moment.
They were ready as if they were ...... Waiting for something terrible to arrive. “
……
After making sure that there was no sign of the monster nearby, the young woman sat down with difficulty with her back against the tree.
It was noon, but the sky was a little overcast, and the inky black clouds obscured the sun's rays.
The air in the woods was a little dreary, and there was a smell of moist earth everywhere, which was a harbinger of the impending rainstorm.
The woman's black tights were torn to pieces, but the cracks in the tights did not reveal the imaginary spring light.
Almost all of the woman's exposed skin was occupied by deep claw marks, and her snow-white skin was completely red with the blood flowing from the wounds.
Every claw mark on the woman's body was terrifyingly deep, the flesh of the wound was completely turned out, and the white bones of the woman could even be faintly seen in several places.
The young woman gasped violently.
She still hadn't figured out what it was all about.
Just now, not long after she had killed the middle-aged adventurer, she heard an eerie howl coming from the depths of the forest.
The moment she heard the voice, she felt a chill.
And with that weird howl, a system prompt sounded in his mind!
The official plot of the Marvel game is triggered, and the game has entered the official stage!
Of course, up to this point, everything is still not a big problem - although the so-called official plot and official stage seem strange to her, they are not really important after all.
But the hint that came then made her face change greatly: "After the game enters the official stage, the adventurer's level will be cleared, and the attribute income brought by upgrading to the adventurer will be cleared." ”
…… Clear!?
The woman was startled, and then in the moment of her surprise......
She felt her body, which had been strengthened by many attributes...... It's getting weaker and weaker by an unusually noticeable magnitude!
The powerful power that originally filled his muscles and bones gradually weakened, and finally disappeared!
"Nope! No...... No! ”
Realizing that the zeroing process was taking place, her eyes widened and she let out an exclamation, only to find that she could not stop the process from being carried out.
The power literally slipped out of her body like this!
Countless questions welled up in her mind at that moment:
Why?
Why did the system prompt itself that the official plot was triggered and the game entered the official stage after that strange sound came out of the forest?
Why do you have to zero all levels and attributes in the official stage?
Why can the system clear all its levels in such a simple sentence!?
It so casually vetoed what it had been doing for so long, what it had done before...... What is it!?
