Chapter 9: Origin of the Mission (2)
"But at that time, the Gamma Empire was already in tatters and crumbling. Not only are there very few remnants, but even decent weapons and equipment are extremely scarce! ”
"In this case, no matter how much Julius Caesar tried to fight back, the Gamma Empire would not be able to meet his needs. So......"
"So he changed his strategy, and after switching from offensive to defensive, and successfully established a defensive line, he began to vigorously develop national strength, accumulate grain and troops, and accumulate troops?" Leo said quickly on the side, looking at Carl, John, and Bai Ling with a look of surprise.
The greedy wolf didn't feel any surprise at this, but showed a more appreciative expression, nodded and said, "That's right, in the past few decades, the Gamma Empire has finally reached its current appearance by recuperating and recuperating.
By the way, it was precisely in order to better develop the national strength that Julius Caesar ordered the existence of the Zeg Zerg to be hidden from all the newborn ordinary people. ”
"I see! No wonder we had never heard of the existence of an enemy like the Zeg Zerg before we joined the army! John yelled scolding, looking a little unhappy with the decision.
Carl and Leo were also a little dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, Julius Caesar made this decision at that time, in fact, he was forced to have no choice.
Imagine if you were born and learned that there is a hostile race on the planet Loland that uses humans as food, and once you reach adulthood, you will be forcibly recruited into the army to fight the Zeg Zerg.
In this case, will you still be in the mood to live well?
Some people may think that enlisting in the army and fighting the Zerg is at least something that happens after you are 18 years old, and it has nothing to do with your youth.
But you can't deny that there are a small number of people in the world who are born extremely pessimistic. In their opinion, since after the age of 18, I will definitely die on the battlefield fighting the Zeg Zerg, then I will die sooner or later, don't I have to die?
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and once people lose their reverence for death, that is, when the social order collapses.
At that time, without even the help of the Zeg Zerg, these remnants of human beings will kill themselves and completely exterminate on the planet Loran.
The problems that had been bothering Carl and them all had been solved now. At this time, they finally understood why Julius Caesar would strictly prohibit the existence of the Zeg Zerg to be revealed to the common people.
As for John...... He didn't need to think about these things, in his heart, there were only two words fighting, which ran through his life.
After seeing that Carl and Leo had digested their previous descriptions, the greedy wolf continued with a smile: "So under this kind of decision, after decades of recuperation, the current military strength of the Gamma Empire has also entered a bottleneck period.
Perhaps in Julius Caesar's mind, the current Gamma Empire has met the conditions for a formal counterattack......"
"So, before the official counterattack, there is still a need for a signal?" Leo asked curiously, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes, the signal began with your successful destruction of the two beehives near the Punk Fortress...... Coincidentally, a few days later, the swarm forcibly captured the Sarasgar defense area and attempted to attack the interior of the Gamma Empire. ”
Leo frowned, from the greedy wolf's words, he captured some information points, but a flash of inspiration did not firmly grasp those thoughts.
The greedy wolf also noticed Leo's expression, smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to continue explaining.
Sure enough, after a while, Leo's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he asked directly: "So, the Zeg Zerg's attack on Sarasgar is also a signal?" ”
"Huh? What signal? What a thing! John said with some unhappiness, the conversation between Leo and Greedy Wolf was obviously not something that a single-celled brain like him could understand.
After hearing the word "signal", the greedy wolf was even more satisfied with Leo in his heart, he nodded, and continued with a smile:
"That's right, it can be said that in the past few decades, although humans have been on the northern defense line and have been constantly fighting with the Zeg Zerg, in the area outside the northern defense line, it is the first time in history that the hive of the Zeg Zerg has been successfully exterminated!"
"This incident is not only a signal of counterattack for Julius Caesar, but also a wake-up call for the Zeg Zerg!"
"Humans, who have never fought back against them, have pulled out two hives in one day! It can be said that this extremely sudden incident made the Zeg Zerg completely panic! They finally felt that the remnants of humanity had become an extremely terrible threat to them! ”
"So, the subsequent Sarasgar defense area has become a signal that the Zeg Zerg have made up their minds to attack the human race?" Carl asked curiously.
"That's right! It is precisely because of the events of Salasgar that Julius Caesar decided to join forces with the two armies of the Imperial Shield and the Imperial Sword to officially launch the first wave of counterattacks! ”
Listening to the words of the greedy wolf, even John, who did not understand it very clearly, trembled in his heart.
"This Diesel base is the military base that our Imperial Sword has established since the beginning, look at the geographical location where it sits, there are at least 6 beehives around, or even more!"
"Perhaps, from that time, Julius Caesar ordered our Imperial Sword to establish a military base in such a place, in order to launch a formal counterattack against the Zeg Zerg at any time......"
Carl and the others silently followed behind the greedy wolf, digesting the information they had just heard.
John followed behind everyone with a depressed face, not that he didn't want to try to understand, but in his words, there were too many information elements to understand.
Fortunately, this long journey was finally coming to an end, because the greedy wolf suddenly pointed to a building in front of him, and said with a smile:
"It's finally here, look, this is your new home in the future!"
Carl and the others looked in the direction of the greedy wolf, and on a two-story building in front of them, there was a sign hanging on it, which clearly read: "War Spirit Team Five".
"Is this where we're going to assemble in the future? It looks too big, right, how many people are there in our Warrior Spirit Fifth Team? Carl asked in disbelief as he looked at the two-story building with some surprise.
After all, in the Cyberpunk Fortress before, they didn't have a fixed meeting place, and all the missions were to assemble and set off at any time.
"Not much, not much, our fifth team of war spirits, counting the four of you, is only about 50 people!" The greedy wolf laughed, but saw a person walking out of the building with a curse.
"Damn it, greedy wolf, why did you come now, you old boy! We've been waiting for a long time! ”
