Chapter 140: The Beginning
Pruf tightened his clothes and stood in front of a machine, a little bewildered. Just as overwhelmed as he was, there were rows of recruits beside him. It's been more than ten days since he came here, and he feels like the whole world he knows has changed. When I first arrived, I thought that the front line was in an emergency, and I had to prevent them, the recruits who had not been fully trained, from going up. But when I came, I found that although the situation at the Lookout Fort was indeed not good, it was not bad enough to need to increase the number of troops, especially new soldiers.
Then the entire lookout was transformed, and a huge tower that rivaled the towers of the royal capital towered over the ground at a miraculous speed. A steady stream of materials was sent from the royal capital in piles and piles, and the resources in the Lookout Realm were also mined and refined in an equally terrifying way and speed.
After the giant tower was built, the manpower brought by the court mage, as well as a group of small flying golems, circled the tower and began to engrave one strange rune after another on the walls of the interior that people could not understand.
Their 10,000 recruits and the 25,000 soldiers originally stationed at the lookout fort have been lining up in the drill square for more than ten days to receive something implanted.
Should it be said so?
Pruf thought about it, and subconsciously touched the back of his neck again. He remembered that he had been ordered to turn around by his superiors, and then something as cold as metal seemed to be attached to the back of his neck, and then quickly moved out of the way, finishing everything in Pruf's confusion. Afterwards? Then he felt something in his head, and he could feel it faintly, because it had spoken to him in his own consciousness.
What kind of "biocomputer" does the chief call this?
It's a mouthful.
Pruf thought.
But with this "biocomputer", he will soon be able to go to the battlefield. For going to the battlefield to fight those chaos monsters, Pruf was not afraid before, and even had some expectations, but when he arrived here, he saw those chaos monsters frantically impacting the barrier of order on the walls of the lookout, and the high-spirited courage when he came suddenly was a little vented, of course, he still told himself that he was not afraid, but the tension in his heart could not be suppressed no matter what.
Instructor Sudin said how to overcome this nervousness? Pruf racked his brains for a moment.
Keep your brain blank, give your mind to the body after training, you don't need to have your own mind in the early stage, you just need to obey and believe in the commander who issued the order, devote yourself to the battle, and follow the training time?
That's what it means.
Pruf was still peeking left and right at the time, and he was relieved to find that he was not the only one around him who had been "baptized" with him. He had also received a puppet and had a little training to manipulate it. Overall, it's not difficult, it's just a matter of incorporating your training experience into a puppet of manipulation. The method of operating the puppet is also very simple, even a child can easily get started.
To this day, Pruf and his recruits are routinely taken inside the unfinished tower, standing in front of the same numbered instruments they received when they entered the tower. This instrument, which the soldiers of the lookout fort are not unfamiliar with these days, is the instrument used to manipulate the puppet. Then Prince Solan, and General Ghosn of the Lookout Regiment announced that they were going to war.
Pruf looked around blankly, and immediately turned his gaze back to the screen of the instrument. A familiar image had already appeared on the screen, and it was inside the Lookout. His eyes were moving, and Pruf knew it was his puppet moving around. Even if he doesn't operate it at all now.
This is going to be the battle?
Don't need to put on armor? Grab your weapons? Then get out of the fort and line up to deal with the attacks of those chaos monsters that have slipped in?
Although some people have taken the trouble to explain to them this new so-called puppet warfare method these days, using the consumption of resources to offset the increasingly depleted population, but when this day comes, Pruf still finds it incredible. Because he wanted to break his head, and he never thought that war would change to a completely unfamiliar way for him.
War is brutal.
The war with the Tides of Chaos is even more cruel in the cruelty.
War is also about death.
The war with the tides of chaos will kill a lot of people.
This is an iron law that has been verified by thousands of years of history in this world. Why do the tides of chaos terrify the human kingdom? That's because it has the terrible power to destroy and wreak havoc on the kingdom of humanity. The kingdoms that survive in the chaos tide are all lucky ones, and the kingdoms that can survive more than once under the erosion of the chaos tide are all powerful countries on the continent! Resources, strength, national strength. Every aspect is indispensable!
Although Pruf had never been on the battlefield before, he had heard many people talk about the horror of the Chaos Tides. The kingdom had a population of millions before the last Chaos Tide, but after a Chaos Tide that lasted at least five years, the population of Angelo Kingdom had plummeted. This is also the result of the fact that the Order Barrier is able to block the invasion of a considerable number of Chaos monsters. If you face chaos head-on, maybe a few faces, a kingdom will almost become history.
General Ghosn was loudly announcing the declaration of war, his words were passionate, and his voice was constantly vibrating under the special structure of the giant tower, which was clear to the ear. But when Pruf heard it, there was only one sentence in his ears, "You don't need to think too much, you just need to kill everything that appears on your screen, and the chaos monsters in your eyes!"
yes, there's not much to think about. No matter what kind of war it is, as long as it can survive this chaotic tide. Pruuff watched "himself" gallop out of the lookout castle on the screen, and said to himself as a puppet on an eight-legged horse in the front rushed towards the chaotic scene.
……
"Is that really okay? I thought you'd let the veterans do a demonstration first. Prince Solan glanced at Ghosn, who had been mobilized beside him.
"There's no need, they're just inexperienced. Skills or something, no matter how much training you have, it's not as good as coming up on the battlefield once. The tide of chaos is getting stronger and stronger, and some places have reached the point where it can threaten the stability of the order barrier, and the battle will become more and more fierce in the future, and the intensity will be higher and higher. Ghosn said.
"What about Master Lunn? I haven't seen him in days. Ghosn looked at the big screen behind him, which was a projection of a battlefield. The effect is no worse than if he stood on the wall of the lookout and watched directly, and it was more comprehensive. It's not just that Pruf and other recruits and veterans are not familiar with the new way of fighting, but even he is a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the new way is too simple and brainless, it doesn't take much time and effort to get started, and there will be opportunities to become proficient in the future. If it weren't for that, Ghosn and Sudin, and even the king, unless they really couldn't help it, would not have changed to a new and unfamiliar way of warfare at this juncture. That's irresponsible to everyone and to yourself.
"He? He and the mages of the court mage group he brought with him were immersed in the study of the runes of Rune. I haven't closed my eyes in two days. Prince Solan smiled wryly.
