Chapter 288: Cruel Reality
Sansa looked at Eren with an excited face and couldn't help but ask, "What, what's the catch?" ”
Alan replied with a smile: "The harvest is not small. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info before I came here, although I found the path I wanted to take, but it was only a direction, like a bridge, I had just chosen the address to build, as for how to build, to what extent, but I didn't know anything. However, just now, I saw the movements and fighting methods of the elite warriors, and it was as if I had found a pier on this bridge, and it was a pier that I was very satisfied with. ”
"Interesting analogy!" Sansa continued, "May I ask where your bridge leads?" ”
"An unknown future!" Alan was silent for a long time, but he said an extremely vague answer, and he didn't even understand why he said that, but at that moment, he instinctively thought that this answer was the most appropriate.
Sansa was stunned, she didn't know the specific meaning of Alan's words, but she didn't know what to say. For a moment, she could only look at the smile on Allen's face, but she didn't know where the bridge was going.
After this short but fierce battle, the two men picked up their speed, not wanting to attract a large army of the Thleks.
Fortunately, after the two of them picked up speed, the outline of the forward position had gradually appeared in the sight of the two.
It was a very rudimentary fortified position. The periphery is a haphazard, even haphazardly patched together alloy steel plate. Three large-caliber alchemy cannons are erected on alloy steel plates, but the alchemy cannons have a pitted appearance, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they are scrapped. Allen's eyes were so vicious that the layout of the forward position could not escape his eyes at all.
"...... here," Alan didn't know what to say, he could only ask, "our situation seems to be a bit bad, right?" ”
Sansa replied with a wry smile, "It's not bad, it's very bad." Since the level of the Thleans has been raised, our pressure has been extremely great, and such a rudimentary forward position is the latest helpless move, in a hurry, we can only break forward the position, cut off the supply line of the Thleans in advance, once our defense line is completely suppressed, our main strategic cities outside the territory will be in crisis, which is not allowed by all human kingdoms. So, trainee mech pilots like me were all sent out. It can be seen how bad the current war situation has become. ”
"It seems that I came at the right time." Alan said, looking at the ruined position.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because of such a vicious environment, people can be more trained." Although Allen's mood was also heavy, there was a faint feeling of excitement in his heart, and his warlike heart was getting more and more excited!
Finally, the two of them arrived safely outside the gate of the forward position, on the defensive wall made of alloy steel plates, and the two soldiers raised their alchemy guns and aimed them at the two. Sansa jumped out of the mech, then showed her identification, a pale yellow metal card. This kind of identity certificate is unique to the extraterritorial war site, because the entire material is made of plastic energy crystals and integrated into a special metal fusion of the extraterritorial battlefield, so it cannot be faked.
The door to the front line slowly opened, and Sansa led Eren inside.
As soon as he entered the front line, Alan smelled a strong smell of blood. The streets were lined with all sorts of rudimentary tents, and under the tents were the wounded. The pungent smell of blood came from the bodies of these wounded, most of them were unconscious, their bodies were mutilated, either a leg was broken, or an arm was cut off, and Alan even saw a blood clan whose limbs were directly cut off, and he had become a complete waste.
"This ......" Alan didn't know what to say for a while, but his excited and belligerent heart suddenly became extremely heavy, and he suddenly felt as if he was weighing a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders. He thought that the main purpose of entering the extraterritorial battlefield was to hone his combat skills between life and death. But now, he suddenly felt that he had only one purpose for coming here, that is, to guard the human world and keep those Thleans out of the gate of the human kingdom!
"The first time I came here, I was also shocked and even a little scared." At this moment, Sansa had jumped out of the mech, and there were special personnel to recover and repair her mech, while she was by Alan's side, walking towards the command post in the forward position, "This is war, our war with the Thleans will not end. They want to leave the realm and enter the thriving human realm, and we must stop them here at all costs. This is an irreconcilable contradiction, a hatred that can only be resolved by the extinction of the race. ”
Sansa's eyes lit up with anger as she said this, and Eren sighed softly. This hatred is indeed irresolvable, survival and resources have always been the focus of the competition for all living beings, which is also the essence of war!
Plunder and killing are the eternal themes of war!
The command post at the forward position is terrible and nasty, it is said to be a command post, but it is nothing more than a military tent with air leaks on all sides. The commander-in-chief of this forward position was a general from the Republic of Stebon and an old acquaintance of Allen. The commander of the legion who once fell into Silver City - Bensen.
Benson at this moment is very different from before. Maybe he can really temper people in the extraterritorial battlefield, Ben Sen's previous level was only eight or nine levels, but now his level has broken through sixteen levels. The strong aura that condensed like substance all showed his strength. And the strength of the sixteenth level, and the strength that comes from fighting in the extraterritorial battlefield, is enough to be worthy of the rank of lieutenant general of the Republic of Stibong.
It's just that Alan really can't figure out why Benson has been able to grow to such a state in a short period of time, which can't be described as terrifying.
At this moment, Benson's shirt was unbuttoned a few times, revealing a strong chest and the huge scar on it. He and several officers were staring at the alchemy map in front of them, apparently calculating the battle situation in recent days.
Alan and Sansa waited quietly, and it took more than ten minutes before Benson looked up, and when he saw Alan, his eyes lit up.
"Alan!" Benson laughed and walked out, giving Alan a bear hug, "I knew that you kid was definitely a good seedling, otherwise you wouldn't be able to make Alexia's girl dizzy." ”
Benson's strength was so great that even Allen's body was strong, and he was grinned by the bear's hug. Sansa looked at the two men with a curious look on her face before she spoke, "General Benson, this Mr. Allen is entering the extraterritorial battlefield for the first time, so I brought him to apply for an identity card. ”
Benson nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, this kid and I are old acquaintances." I'll arrange the rest of the matter, you go down and rest. ”
Sansa gave a military salute and withdrew. Benson, on the other hand, let Allen into the so-called command post.
"Don't laugh, it's not easy to pull an army, especially the situation in this forward position is very bad, so everything is simple." Benson poured a glass of boiled water and put it in Allen's hand as he spoke, and then said to the officers around him, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is my old friend, Allen." When you come to the extraterritorial battlefield for the first time, you brothers should take care of it. ”
The officers around all smiled and greeted Allen, these were Benson's confidants, so the gaze that looked at Allen was a little more eager and sincere. Alan also greeted with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for his luck, obviously meeting such a familiar top boss would definitely be a boost to his development in the extraterritorial battlefield.
"I'll tell someone to do it later, come on, come on, we have encountered some problems, and it just so happens that you come over to discuss and discuss together." As he spoke, Benson moved Alan to the alchemy map.
This is a batch of alchemy maps specially commissioned by the Stypen Republic for the purpose of extraterritorial battlefields. This kind of map can reveal the surrounding environment in three dimensions, and can be considered to mark the terrain, etc., and the function is extremely powerful.
Benson pointed to a red area on the map and said, "This area is a gathering place for the enemy, and judging by the size, there are at least three elite warriors guarding the town......"
As soon as Benson said this, Alan interjected, "No, there are still two elite fighters left. Sansa and I have already solved one on our way. ”
Alan took out the fist-sized plastic energy crystals as he spoke, and suddenly saw such a large plastic energy crystal, even Benson was a little stunned, and Alan obviously felt the heavy breathing of the officers around him, and there was a little more complicated look in his gaze, a trace of jealousy, a trace of envy and even a faint hint of killing intent!
Benson smiled wryly, and pressed it on Allen's hand: "You kid, are you seducing us to do it, hurry up and put it away." Alan didn't know why, but he obviously felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, so he hurriedly put away the plastic energy crystal.
"Everyone, today's meeting is here for the time being, Brother Allen and I still have something to say, let's make a decision tomorrow, how about it?" Benson said suddenly, and the officers around him saluted goodbye in a playful manner, and left the command post one by one.
Seeing that everyone should have disappeared, the smile on Bensen's face was put away, and then he turned his head to look at Alan with a solemn face: "You are really not afraid of death." ”
Benson suddenly said a sentence Allen was stunned: "General, how do you say this?" ”
"In an extraterritorial battlefield, this crystallization is equivalent to currency. With this thing, you can exchange it for everything you want, equipment, secret methods, alchemy potions! In particular, the plastic energy crystals dropped by elite soldiers are even more valuable. Because the royal warriors are not yet something we can deal with, the plastic energy crystals in the bodies of the elite warriors have become the most valuable thing. So, the wealth is not exposed, brother! ”
"Could it be that there are still people who dare to rob it?" Alan asked in confusion.
"Bright robbery? Haha, it's not just a robbery. Benson said this, then looked around, and then said in a low voice, "You should know that our three kingdoms have come together again, and although we nominally cooperate with each other against the Thleans, we also compete with each other in private. There was once a direct war between the two great powers for the crystallization of plastic energy, and three forward positions were destroyed. ”
Alan couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this plastic energy crystallization a kind of energy stone?" Is it worth making such a big fuss? ”
"Energy Stone? Ha ha! Benson couldn't help but let out a laugh, and even a little distortion in his smile, and it took a long time for Benson to stop laughing, "The energy stone is just a front, what scholars are talking about replacing steam power with this energy source in the future...... It's all about farting. There is only one biggest effect of this plastic crystallization - that is, to stimulate the potential of living beings. Otherwise, how do you think my sixteenth-level cultivation came about? ”
Hearing this news, Alan was completely stunned, he looked at Benson, and his insight into the world suddenly opened. Benson saw Allen's eyes light up suddenly, and then he felt an inexplicable force fall on his body, and he knew that the other party was probing his body.
"Actually, there's nothing to hide. Although the Plastic Energy Crystallization can increase our potential and greatly stimulate our combat power, there is also one of the most fatal weaknesses, that is, we ourselves will be eroded by the energy generated by the Plastic Energy Crystal. The light ones shorten their lifespan, and the heavy ones ......"
Benson said that there was a sudden pause, and Alan hurriedly asked, "How is the heavy one?" His instincts told him that what he was going to hear was absolutely hard for him to accept.
"The heavier ones will become slaves to the crystallization of plastic energy, and become ...... Become a new Thlean! Benson said with a pained expression.
"What did you say?" Alan stood up suddenly, and grabbed Benson's neck with both hands, "What did you say?" ”
The sudden conflict between the two attracted the attention of the people around them, and Allen, apparently realizing that he was a little out of shape, let go of his hands, and then sat down on the chair with some dejection.
Benson sat down with a pained face and some decadence: "You know, we are fighting hard here. The Thles were blessed with a unique fighting power that made it difficult for us to resist. And our strong men are far inferior to our opponents, until we discover the secret of plastic energy crystallization. The balance of the number of strong people allowed us to gradually grasp the initiative, but, with the first energy explosion, our cutting-edge powerhouses were all transformed by energy afterwards, and the royal warriors in our mouth were transformed by those human warriors during the energy explosion period. Back then, their strength had reached at least the realm of human kings, and many of them had even reached the realm of legends! ”
Alan looked at Benson in a daze, and suddenly found that he was a little short of words, he didn't know what to say, and what to do now.
There was silence for ten minutes before Alan asked, "All the Thleans were converted by our people?" ”
"No, these are just a few of them. And the main army of the real Threes, we have not encountered ...... so far"
