From Lin Lei's words, Lu Chen has roughly understood that the tasks assigned by the military are not much different from the tasks done by the contractor, no, it is better to say that the contractor in this real world, assisting the merchant group to carry out tasks, is evolved from the army.

It's just that, knowing this, Lu Chen still has a question: "The strength of the military is so strong, why do you still need mercenaries, they will send more troops to clean it up." ”

Not counting the contractor, the gap between the mercenary and the regular army is completely different, a mercenary facing a soldier, it is likely that the battle situation is five or five, and even the mercenary can have the upper hand, and the ten-person squad fights, the mercenary can also suppress the soldiers of the main army, but the number of battles rises, a hundred mercenaries face a hundred soldiers, it is a complete defeat, and a large-scale battle, tens of thousands of soldiers can deal with hundreds of thousands of mercenaries.

"The army is indeed strong, but their numbers are too small compared to our mercenaries, and the military has important enemies to deal with, so it is impossible to continue sending us here."

"If the number is small, expand the army...... Lu Chen, who was about to say something, saw that Lin Lei and Qin Xuan's faces were a little wrong, and he didn't go any further, he thought of one thing, this world, between ordinary humans, there are also contradictions, the federal government can't fully control the humans in this world, but, thinking about the existence of nobles and lords, the federal government can really completely control this world.

The disputes between the federal government and the lords and merchants in various places were still a little far away from the current Lu Chen, and he quickly put these behind him and turned to face the current situation.

"We can pick and choose our own tasks, right? What does the army have there that we need to do? Have you inquired? ”

At this point, Lin Lei replied quickly: "I inquired." The most important thing the military has us guards do is scouting, because the enemies we face are all wild beasts. They don't have a leader, they rarely gather, which allows us humans to advance all the time, but in this world, there are a lot of beasts, and their abilities are a little strange, and most of them are something we haven't seen, in order to avoid casualties in the regular army, the military will let us scout first. After finding out the number of monsters, the special abilities they have mastered, and their location, the military will send planes and tanks to slaughter them. ”

After listening to Lin Lei's words, Lu Chen was a little speechless, he really didn't care.

"Aside from reconnaissance, all that's left is coordinated operations and rescue, and the army sometimes kills the beasts head-on. The beasts will scatter and flee, and the smaller army will not be able to divide the attack, so we mercenaries will come forward and strangle the area by side. ”

After listening to Lin Lei's explanation. Lu Chen nodded, although the military looked down on mercenaries a little, they didn't really take their lives seriously. When scouting, because the ability of wild beasts is unpredictable. Whoever goes up will be killed, and the military will let mercenaries probe it. But in a head-to-head battle, the military is the main force, the mercenaries are just cooperating, and the final pursuit is also the time when the mercenaries harvest.

With a stick, a piece of candy, and the temptation of territory, it's no wonder that although mercenaries have died a lot, there have always been merchants willing to go.

Lu Chen was discussing, the mercenaries below were also advancing, there were vehicles to transport them, the mercenaries were still moving fast, and after driving at full speed for a day and a night, Lu Chen found that the land they passed through was becoming more and more desolate.

Because there was no large-scale migration, there were not many people coming and going near the towns, but there were at least a few rudimentary roads and railways in the wilderness for vehicles to travel, and the current ground was pristine and full of potholes, without any trace of human activity.

No, if it is a simple trace of human beings, there are also here, sweeping down from the sky, Lu Chen can see that on the earth, countless potholes have emerged, and after careful observation, Lu Chen found that they are all shells or other weapons, bombarded by the cannon pits.

The continuous potholes could not be seen, and at the same time, in this area, the land had turned brown, which was dyed by the blood left on the land, of course, most of the dead were wild beasts, which made Lu Chen's heart excited.

With so many beasts killed, there was always something he needed.

After driving from the gun pit for a long time, Lu Chen and they saw the traces of the army in the distance, the army was fighting at this time, the beasts all over the mountains were frantically impacting the position of the army, after Lu Chen's body was strengthened, his eyesight was also greatly strengthened, but even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the edge of the enemy, and the number of beasts this time was too much.

But what surprised Lu Chen even more was the military, so many beasts attacked, the military did not all dispatch, just the defensive measures of the original position, artillery, laser cannons and a small number of mechas, which blocked the impact of the beasts.

The beasts are very ferocious, nearly a million beasts impact together, even in the sky, Lu Chen can feel the shaking of the earth, this scene appeared in front of Lu Chen, making Lu Chen extremely shocked, if it was him, he would definitely not be able to stop these beasts from impacting for a second.

But the army dealt with these beasts very easily, artillery, laser cannons, heavy machine guns, formed a line of death, rumbling explosions kept ringing, when the ferocious beasts rushed to the front of the military formation five thousand meters, they would be attacked, and this five thousand meters of distance was completely covered by all kinds of weapons attacks by the military, shells and bullets did not let go of an inch, as long as they entered, the beast would die.

The five-thousand-meter road is like a natural danger, all the beasts are half the distance of the impact, most of them are dead, only a few powerful ones can hold on for a while, but only for a little longer, still can't escape the end of death.

The reunion of death lasted for half an hour, and when Lu Chen and the others arrived, the beasts were finally dead, and the death of millions of beasts did not even arrive in front of the military's formation, which made Lu Chen feel the strength of the military.

As soon as he came to the battlefield, he saw such a war, and everyone next to Lin Lei became excited, and some people even shouted: "Long live the army, the human race will win." ”

Originally, the mercenaries were a little reluctant to go to the battlefield, but the appearance of this scene made them feel it. The battlefield is nothing more than that, and they can build their careers from it. Even Lin Lei, who was next to Lu Chen, had a little flickering in his eyes. If the beast was really that easy to deal with, he might have made the right bet this time.

But he quickly calmed down and gave up the idea that the beast was easy to deal with, if the beast was really so easy to deal with, how could the rich children of other families not come, there must be a reason for this.

It's just that although Lin Lei calmed down, he didn't stop the shouting of his subordinates, and the high morale was better than the demoralized team. Especially when the morale of mercenaries is low to low, there will be mass defections.

Lin Lei's convoy was still not small, and after it arrived, it also attracted the attention of some people, and there were many idle soldiers pointing around.

Lu Chen took a closer look, and the onlookers were all businessmen's guards or hired soldiers, and there was no real regular army, and there was no one, and they were pointed at. Lu Chen was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything, after seeing the strength of the army, Lu Chen didn't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble in the army. But soon, Lu Chen frowned, and the pointing words of those people reached Lu Chen's mind.

"Another bunch of idiots came and died."

"Lao Luo. Don't say that, people are here to make a contribution. ”

"Make a difference. Bah, a group of people has only dealt with a few beasts. I feel that I am invincible in the world, do we see few such people, if you don't make a bet, I bet that half of these people will be killed in ten days, dare to take it, Lao Li. ”

"Don't dare." Hehe smiled, the mercenary known as Lao Li didn't dare to take this bet at all, obviously, he didn't trust Lu Chen and them who had just arrived.

Not only did he not trust it, but the onlookers next to him also had the same opinion, most of them thought that Lu Chen and his group would die half of them in ten days and a half.

After Lu Chen observed it carefully, he asked Lin Lei next to him: "Is there your opponent in the army, or is there more than your opponent?" ”

"Right?" Unlike Lu Chen, Lin Lei, who has an ordinary physique, can only feel that the people around him are pointing fingers, but he can't hear what he said, so he doesn't understand the meaning of Lu Chen's question, but soon, he said: "Other businessmen or families in the army can be regarded as our potential opponents, after all, there is only so much land, but there is an army here, and there will be no large-scale civil war, so there is no need to worry about other people, they will not give us assistance at most, they will not attack us, our main enemy is still a beast." ”

Lin Lei's words made Lu Chen understand that he had no special enemies in the army, but after understanding this, Lu Chen's face not only did not have a happy expression, but became even more ugly.

It's not the enemy, so many words from the onlookers underground, it's not that other businessmen deliberately let them say it, it's the real thoughts of those mercenaries, and even those mercenaries have been here longer than Lu Chen, and the words they said are all their personal experiences, which makes Lu Chen understand that the danger of the army is far more difficult than he imagined.

As if he could sense Lu Chen's bad thoughts, Lin Lei next to him couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, sir?" ”

Without hesitation, Lu Chen told Lin Lei everything that the mercenaries said just now, and told him his inner judgment, the current Lu Chen and Lin Lei are a community of interests, one is prosperous, and one is lost, but there is no need to hide too many things.

After Lu Chen's words were finished, Lin Lei's face became ugly, he turned his head to observe for a while, and he spoke: "Those mercenaries come from dozens of families, some of them are enemies, it is impossible to unite together, as Mr. thinks, those are very likely to be what they have experienced personally." ”

After saying this, Lin Lei said again: "Among those mercenaries are people who are familiar with our family, I will contact them later and ask about the situation." ”

In the town, although Lin Lei inquired, he had not been to the battlefield, and the information he inquired about was a little inaccurate after all, or those who had personally experienced the war, knew the danger best.

Lin Lei's response made Lu Chen very satisfied, and he inquired in advance, and he would reduce some losses.

Just a few minutes after Lu Chen talked to Lin Lei, the person sent by the army to answer finally arrived, and a person with the rank of major on his shoulder came to Lin Lei's side, holding a piece of paper in his hand and asked: "You are Lin Lei, and the people behind you are all the teams you have supported." ”

"Yes." In the real face of the military, Lin Lei did not dare to slack off, put away the frivolity of the past, and his answer this time was very short and powerful.

Seeing such a situation, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh that Lin Lei would be a man, unlike him who had always been an indifferent voice, when Lin Lei faced the children of rich families, he was more lazy and frivolous, but in the face of the army, he behaved very seriously, and he didn't say any nonsense, which was also to different people, saying different things.

"The number of people brought is 1,200 people, one contractor, and that is true."

"Hmm."

"I think you understand your strength, take your people to that area, camp on the spot, you can go to our military headquarters to apply for anything you lack, however, you have to understand, it is not without a price, the materials applied for will be offset by your military merits, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, there will be an order issued by the military, but you can complete it."

After dividing an area for Lin Lei and pointing out the location of the logistics department, the major walked away with his subordinates.

At this moment, Lin Lei wanted to stop the major, give him a red envelope, and let him take care of himself, but thinking of the atmosphere of the army, he could only give up this idea.

Lu Chen took a look at the base that the major had assigned to them, it was not bad, it was behind the army, not in the direction of the beast's impact.

As for what the major said about looking for them in exchange for supplies, Lin Lei didn't have any Xi'ina norms, they came here to earn military merits, how could they not come yet, so they paid for military merits first.

When he came over, Lin Lei had already considered all the logistics, and under his order, the mercenaries moved the supplies from the car and quickly set up camp.

After wandering around his camp for a long time, Lu Chen found that with Lin Lei and Qin Xuan, he didn't need to do anything, just watched, Qin Xuan and Lin Lei's manager had a hand, and at the same time, all aspects were also very thoughtful.

Half an hour later, Lu Chen's tent was set up, and seeing that there was indeed nothing to do with himself, Lu Chen returned to the tent alone to recuperate.

In this regard, Qin Xuan and Lin Lei have no opinions, a good knife is used on a steel blade, Lin Lei asked Lu Chen to come over, and he didn't do these trivial things, what he needed was Lu Chen's strength, the strength of fighting, Lu Chen rested and maintained his state, which was what he wanted to see.
