Chapter 27: The Military (II)
But these are not the most concerned about Tie Yan, what makes Tie Yan most concerned is the role of the army today, if the main role of the earth army tens of thousands of years ago was defense, then, now in this world, there is only one role of the army, that is, war, or killing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because in this society that has returned to the traditional feudal system, there is no such thing as garrisons, and the role of the army is war, conquest, and killing, or rather, to launch a killing of alien races.
Therefore, in this world, the army is synonymous with blood, and even a military aristocrat like the Tie family, who has always lived in the army, still has some deep awe for the army, especially when he appears in his fiefdom.
"So much!" Tie Yan was taken aback, today's army is not like the earth of 50,000 years ago, it is tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands at every turn, and now, even a big empire like the Angry Knife Empire with nearly ten star fields has only 350,000 troops, that is, there are only five fleets, so the dispatch of two fleets is not an exaggeration to call it the power of the whole country, because under normal circumstances, a force like the Angry Knife Empire has at most less than half a fleet of mobile troops, and two fleets are mobilized at a time, In many ways, it's not an exaggeration to call it a bone-wrenching injury.
Tie Yan has the most understanding of the military of the Angry Knife Empire, because in the past few years, the Tie family has not known what kind of thoughts, but they actually gave him a lot of information about the military of the earthlings, so Tie Yan slowly began to understand the current army of the earthlings, including the armies of several forces outside the Angry Knife Empire.
In Tie Yan's opinion, the Tie family may have intended to arrange him into the army, after all, as a military nobleman, the Tie family is bound to make a difference in the army if they want to develop, and Tie Yan's every move in the Blood Castle proves that Tie Yan is the kind of person who is good at management, and this is also applicable in the army, because the army of the Angry Knife Empire is more about dealing with foreign races other than the earthlings.
Zhu Ye's expression was solemn, and he said, "In addition, the military of the Angry Sword Empire has also ordered the Dark Abyss Star and all genius cultivators under the age of twenty to be gathered in the Blood Castle, we suspect that they may be planning to start a death match. ”
Even though Tie Yan had always thought that his heart was extremely powerful, he couldn't help but feel a violent heartbeat when he heard about this deathmatch.
"Deathmatch? How is this possible, on this dark abyss star, we earthlings can have a death match with whomever we earthlings, and who can enter a death race with today's earthlings. ”
When he heard the word deathmatch, Tie Yan already knew the seriousness of the matter, although he had already made an estimate after knowing the matter of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, but he didn't expect that it would eventually develop to the point of starting a deathmatch.
The original name of the so-called death match should be called the Great Race Trial, its origin has long been unknown, only know that in ancient times, the races in the universe often carried out similar competitions, that is, two different races, some friendly and some unfriendly, delineate the range, demarcate the participants, and start a battle competition within a controllable range.
At the beginning, the starting point of this kind of activity seemed to be not bad, after all, combat is the best way for cultivators to improve, especially when a group of people of the same age and strength fight together, they can often stimulate the strongest combat potential, which makes the universe later have such a saying, genius is killed, not refined.
Therefore, in the early days, the Great Racial Trial was often a way to enhance friendship between several friendly races, but later, this Great Racial Trial began to slowly change its taste, especially between some races that hated each other, so that the original Great Racial Trial became the current Death Match.
This is actually very easy to understand in Tie Yan's opinion, it is nothing more than a local war between two different races that demarcates the boundary of the conflict, which is also the main means used to solve various contradictions in the universe today, which is somewhat like a duel between nobles in the Middle Ages.
It's just because the mortality rate is extremely high, so there is also the alias of the death match, according to what Tie Yan saw in the book, generally speaking, before each death match, the two parties will delineate a winning or losing standard, and this standard is often the death ratio of one of the two sides, because this is also the easiest to control and evaluate, and generally speaking, the death ratio between two different races will be set according to the size of the grudge and the size of the cause, but under normal circumstances, a death match like this, Generally, the mortality rate starts at 30%.
That is, which side is the first to have a mortality rate of more than three to become negative, and this is only a starting point, because it is not easy to set up such a death match, after all, no one is a fool, you say that whoever fights to the death has to fight to the death? Especially in the face of death, it is not uncommon for contestants on both sides to release water to each other, and there have been one or two cases written in the book, and a death match has been fought for two or three hundred years, until one party loses because of the longevity issue.
Therefore, the later death match began to have strong incentives, so that the participants had to fight to the death in it, after all, it is better to die than to live in any race, as for the kind of people who are stimulated by all kinds of righteousness and only want to dedicate themselves, there are still a minority.
Zhu Ye's face was bitter, and he said: "The family doesn't know either, but this kind of move to recruit all the cultivation geniuses of the entire Dark Abyss Star who are no more than twenty years old can only be a death match, otherwise we can't imagine that anything needs to use these children who are less than twenty years old." ”
In today's universe, twenty years old can indeed only be regarded as a child, even among extremely precocious earthlings, twenty years old is only the initial stage of cultivation, so in this world where fists are the only standard, twenty-year-old earthlings can only be regarded as children.
In fact, it is true, compared to some star beasts with good bloodline levels, twenty-year-old humans may not be as troublesome as some small star beasts that have just been born for a few months.
But again, if you put it in a tribe like the butterfly elf, twenty years old might only be called a bug.
Tie Yan glanced at everyone in the cave, only to find that almost all of them were dead, and it was obvious that everyone was almost certain because of the deathmatch.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past two days, Tie Yan had at most occasionally sat at the entrance of the cave, and in the past two days, the Blood Castle was getting deserted day by day, and by the third day, the entire originally prosperous street of the Blood Castle was already empty.
At this time, even some ordinary people who didn't know about love had already felt that the atmosphere was wrong and began to hide at home and not go out.
On this afternoon, a loud noise that almost blew up the entire Blood Castle suddenly sounded on the Black Iron Plateau, and the drama of this loud sound can be seen from the trembling of the extinct volcano outside the Blood Castle, countless gravel slid down from the top of the head, and Tie Yan even thought that the extinct volcano that originally protected the Blood Castle had cracked, if that was the case, it would be a disaster for the Blood Castle.
But at this time, no one cared about the Blood Castle, because at the same time as this voice sounded, everyone who had been sitting quietly in the cave stood up with a low cry.
"Starship! Super Starship! How is it possible, the Angry Knife Empire doesn't have a super starship at all! ”
It was Zhu Ye who screamed, at this time he was completely pale, and among the people present, he was the only one who knew what a super starship was, and only he knew what the appearance of a super starship represented.
After a while, a behemoth that almost covered the entire sky above the head of the Blood Castle flew slowly from a distance, and then quietly stopped above the Blood Castle, although Tie Yan had seen the so-called starship more than once in the book, but when he really saw the real thing of the starship, he gave birth to the feeling that he was indeed reborn in the future for the first time.
I saw that the whole body of this starship was irregular in its original shape, and it looked like it was made of countless scales and armor, which felt both sci-fi and magical, because this starship was not as post-modern as in the science fiction movies of 50,000 years ago, but had a retro feeling, except that it really didn't look like a ship.
