The year 2676 is destined to be an unquiet year. Since the beginning of the year, Sha Chen's spies have been sending back messages from all over the country that large-scale armed clashes have taken place between their settlement and other settlements. It boils down to one sentence: troubled times are even more chaotic.

A few years ago, due to the gradual scarcity of resources left over from the old era, large-scale wars broke out in the eastern region, many small and medium-sized settlements were wiped out, and only a large force remained in Gan, Hui, Qian, and other places. This was followed by a period of relative peace for five or six years, and there were skirmishes, but annexation wars like those launched by Butterfly Love Flower against Hongqi Canal and Beihu were still rare.

Rongcheng now has only two friendly forces, the Academy and Beihu. Fighting life and death outside, this is unique, calm and waveless.

At the beginning of spring, refugees came to Rongcheng one after another. At first, there were sporadic few or a dozen people, and it was not difficult for Beihu and the outer courtyard of the academy to receive them. But in the following two months, a large number of refugees poured into Rongcheng, numbering more than 5,000 people. This is also the result of the truncation of the East Lake settlement in Decheng.

The population of the Donghu settlement in Decheng has exceeded 50,000. The high-level officials of the academy all knew that 40,000 of them would be sent to the ghost cave by the high-level officials of East Lake to become the raw materials for the creation of ghosts.

At the high-level meeting of the academy, Shi Yanshan slapped the table and said that he was going to exterminate the dog mongrels in the East Lake settlement.

Hu Yongsheng said: "Don't worry, watch it first." It is not difficult to pull out the cancer of East Lake, and it is best to draw out the forces behind it and do it together. ”

There are not many people in the academy, but they have the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, and at present, there are only ten black and gold warriors. Hu Yongsheng has the confidence to say this.

Lin Xiaoyou nodded and said, "Okay, I will send more people, and when Wen Lan and Zhou Ziran come back, I will let them go to the East Lake settlement." ”

Shang Shiyin went to Burma with the spring breeze to find the ghost cave a month ago, and called back more than ten days ago, asking Lin Xiaodemon to temporarily take his place and take full responsibility for the dust, and then took the initiative to cut off contact. As for the safety of the master and apprentice, the senior management of the academy is not worried, as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke trouble, the possibility of being discovered in the case of hiding is very small.

Hu Yongsheng asked, "Ziran and Wenlan are coming back?" Jiang Xia can't stand it? ”

"I received the news last night that the leader and five high-ranking people of Jiangxia were killed." Lin Xiaoyou said.

The leader of Jiangxia is a ruthless man, and his microwave ability doesn't know how many enemy soldiers have been cooked. Jiangxia's weaponry technology is also very advanced. But its enemy, the Qingyun settlement of Gandi, is the more ruthless character, having cleared all of Gandi's settlements in one fell swoop six years ago.

It is worth mentioning that back then, Qingyun uprooted the 10,000-year-old settlement with three times the population in just one day. Thousands of cluster bombs razed the 10,000-year-old settlement, and the burrowing bombs faithfully carried out the decapitation mission, wiping out the top brass of the underground command post in one fell swoop. The battle resulted in 12,000 casualties, and all the more than 20,000 survivors who hid in the underground fortifications were sent to the ghost caves.

In the past ten years, Qingyun has sent nearly 80,000 living "experimental subjects" to the ghost cave, becoming the third largest shareholder of the ghost cave. Qingyun's ruthlessness is outrageous.

This time against Jiang Xia, Qingyun repeated his old tricks, and a ground-drilling bomb appeared in Jiang Xia's headquarters like a ghost, and the six Jiangxia military commanders, including the leader, were brought to the pot.

Wang Zejun asked puzzledly: "Aren't Jiang Xia and Qingyun both shareholder forces in the ghost cave?" ”

"Jiang Xia is only a small shareholder, belonging to the peripheral forces of the ghost cave, and Qingyun is a core member of the board of directors. Herein lies the problem, all parties to the conflict seem to be inextricably linked to the ghost cave. ”

"Ghost cave strife?"

"According to the information currently available, the Qingyun settlement, the Liandu settlement in Yidi, the Guanzhou settlement in Qiandi, the Changqing settlement in Ludi, and the Jade Elephant settlement in Guidi are all major shareholders of the ghost cave, and they were the first to provoke this war. The targets of the attacks are also the marginal forces of the ghost caves. ”

Shi Xiangyun's fingers tapped lightly on the table: "What did the minority shareholders do?" Inviting liquidation of major shareholders? ”

Lin Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "There is no relevant information yet. ”

Hu Yongsheng asked: "Are the settlements with which we have signed an agreement safe?" ”

"They haven't been affected for the time being."

The senior leaders of the academy all breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just a dog-eat-dog war, then the academy didn't have to worry too much.

Shi Xiangyun has a different view: "We have only seen the liquidation of small shareholders by major shareholders, and we do not know their real purpose, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not make a move on other small and medium-sized forces after completing the internal purge." I am ready to suspend the construction of the Flying City in the Outer Courtyard and comprehensively strengthen the defense forces of the Outer Courtyard and Beihu. ”

Hu Yongsheng agreed: "What Brother Shi said makes sense, we must prevent it before it happens. This time, the outer courtyard has taken over more than 5,000 refugees, and sooner or later it will be targeted. Spitfire baby, the backbone of the escort team was drawn to help the outer courtyard and Beihu train a group of elite soldiers. ”

"Okay." Charizard agreed, and said, "The inner courtyard guards should also be expanded. ”

The escort force in the inner courtyard currently numbered one hundred and fifty people, which was indeed a small number compared to the large forces with thousands of armed men at every turn.

Hu Yongsheng thought for a while and said: "The inner courtyard is in the dark, and there is no need to deal with external threats for the time being. Our guards are all paranormals, unmatched by other forces. Besides, sooner or later, the outer courtyard and Beihu will come together, and their soldiers are still the soldiers of the academy. ”

Charizard thought about this reason, and finally trained herself. He said:

"Okay, Brother Dao is in charge of the outer courtyard, and I am in charge of Beihu. Beihu Laolin, Mr. Hu will go and say hello. We'll go there in the afternoon. ”

Mi Doudou said: "Knife, I'll go with you, get back all the blood samples of the people in the outer courtyard, and I will pick out those who may activate the ability." Little demon, the character is controlled by you. ”

Dao Xing and Lin Xiaoyou replied at the same time, "Okay, eldest sister." ”

Although the knife shop is limited to holding hands with Second Sister Jiang, the relationship between Lin Xiaoyou and Liu Xun has just been transferred from underground to aboveground. But both of them coincidentally substituted themselves into Luo Youcheng's group of relatives and friends.

"Big sister is going to exert her strength." Shi Yanshan rubbed his hands excitedly, "A thousand people in the inner courtyard will be brought out by the eldest sister Nearly two hundred people with abilities, and more than 20,000 people in the outer courtyard, when the time comes, the four or five thousand people will be pulled out, and people will not be scared to death." ”

Mi Doudou was amused by him, how can there be such a proportion, no one stipulates that there must be two abilities out of ten people. But with a base of 25,000 people, there are not too few people who can be stimulated. As for North Lake, Midoudou didn't consider it for the time being. Although the younger brother holds a 20% stake in Beihu, Beihu has not yet become a real family member. Once her ability activation technique is spread, the major forces will dig into the ground and find a way to find out the academy.

Towards the end of the meeting, Hu Yongsheng suddenly remembered something, he remembered that his husband had said that he would absorb the Ecstasy Academy into the academy and open up the second world, so that the dying could live in another form. He asked Lin Xiaoyou if the Baiyun settlement in Yangcheng had been attacked. Lin Xiaoyou said that although Bai Yun had done business with the ghost cave, it seemed that he was not even a peripheral force, and he was currently safe.

Shi Yanshan said: "Brother Hu, I'll go for a run, if Mother Lin is willing, I'll bring her back." ”

When Shi Yanshan heard about the Ecstasy Courtyard from Jia Dan, he was fascinated, and now he can't wait to jump out. Hu Yongsheng didn't really want him to go, after all, there were more than 5,000 mouths in the outer courtyard now, and the food was under a lot of pressure. Shi Yanshan said that the members of the Hunting Division have all grown up, and it is almost the same with him or not. Hu Yongsheng couldn't resist him, so he agreed.

Jiang Xiaoyu warned Shi Yanshan that he was not allowed to come to Hu Lai, that Mother Lin was not bad, but she was a real old goblin. With the heavy taste of the little brother, he may really gnaw on the old grass. Shi Yanshan said that he would go with the people from the material department, there are so many people, there is no chance to do bad things.

In the afternoon, Charizard and Knife Shop each took a team to Beihu and the outer courtyard.

Mi Doudou took five medical intelligences and went to the outer courtyard with Dao Xing and Lin Xiaoyou. Although Jiang Xiaoyu can't let go of her hands and feet emotionally, she has always been very concerned about the matter of knife business. She didn't have a position in the academy, and she was an idler, so she also came over to help.

Mi Doudou was busy collecting blood, and the knife shop was responsible for recruiting troops. The Outer Courtyard Guards were numbered at 2,000 men, and the sword shop was worried that he would not be able to fill the quota, but he soon found himself worried. Since joining the Guardian Team contributed twice as many points as normal work, a long queue quickly formed at the registration office.

Those who sign up have to go through a physical examination machine and walk through a three-meter-long passage, and their body data will be entered into the brain. If the body is unqualified, the physical examination instrument will turn on a red light to warn. After registering their identity information, applicants who have passed the physical examination will enter the discussion session of Lin Xiaodemon in the letter review room. Lin Xiaoyou's question is only one, why do you want to join the Guardian Army. In front of Big Sister Truth or Dare, it is difficult for ordinary people to hide their true thoughts. After passing the review, you can receive a set of escort uniforms.

In less than three hours before dark, the knife shop is expected to complete the recruitment of 200 people. Therefore, those who were after the two hundred were given signs to come back tomorrow.

The registration process went smoothly, and the recruits with military uniforms all lined up in the square outside the recruiting office, their faces full of pride and irrepressible smiles, sharing their happiness with their teammates. The instructor from the inner courtyard didn't restrain them too much, but just made them stand up straight. When the devil training begins, this group of recruits may not have a chance to laugh.

When it got dark, the registration for the day ended, and a total of 210 recruits were recruited. There are still more than 100 people queuing up at the number tag collection area, but 2,000 number plates have already been distributed. The knife shop asked people to use the printer to make a temporary number plate. After all, judging from today's enrollment situation, the elimination rate of unqualified physical examinations accounts for 20%. There was no problem with the letter review side, the first batch of people who signed up were all from the outer court, and the new refugees were still waiting.

The recruits were taken to the newly opened barracks on the north side of the outer courtyard, where they happily changed into military uniforms and admired each other's military appearance. The assembly call sounded, and the rookies rushed out of the barracks in a swarm, like a flock of free-range ducks. Five minutes later, a not-so-neat queue was formed, and there were still many people in the team talking to each other.

The knife shop was patient, and gave them ten minutes before they spoke. It's not too loud, but it's definitely imposing.

"When you enter the barracks and put on your uniform, you are soldiers. But where do you look like a soldier? I want a strong army, not a bunch of chirping sparrows. You don't know how to be a soldier, that's okay, I'll teach you what it takes to be a good soldier. ”

The audience was silent. Dao Xing's face was expressionless, and he raised his hand to the instructor beside him. The instructor ran to the front of the line and shouted:

"All of them, turn right. Five kilometers of cross-country, running and walking. ”

There was a wail on the field, and only a few people ran out.

"Aren't you waiting for the other recruits to come along?"

"Instructor, we haven't had dinner yet."

The recruits gossiped and said:

"I changed my mind and went six kilometers off-road. If you want to run seven kilometers, you can keep arguing. ”

The recruits were immediately silenced. They realize that hellish life has begun.
