The original members of the Su Hao War Group had more than two hundred members. For a start-up warband, it is already quite a lot of personnel capital. Su Hao has already figured out the development law of the world's main army in the third stage, as long as he has been stored for a long time and has enough genetic glands, then it will naturally not be a problem for the warband to be strong.

In the final analysis, it is still the number of personnel in the battle group, which restricts the strength of combat effectiveness.

After 30 years of recuperation, the number of soldiers directly under the "Red Dragon Clan" exceeded 6,000. Konoha Town has become Konoha City, and all roads around it have been opened, and two special roads have been built to connect with the inner regions of the empire. The city's flying take-off and landing platforms have been expanded several times over, enough to accommodate heavy military airships to be unloaded in bulk. The large-scale expansion of the urban area has triggered a new round of substantial increase in military installations. At present, the number of main fortresses in Konoha City exceeds three hundred, and there are as many as a thousand guard towers of various functions, and the light and dark fortifications and supporting fire points are densely packed. No matter where you are in the city, you can see soldiers with loaded guns, as well as steel-concrete structures with protective fortifications of different heights.

In addition, Konoha City is also equipped with powerful ultra-long-range artillery. This kind of thing is completely thanks to Dai Xiaolou's operation. Under normal circumstances, only Tier 1 combat teams with permission from the clan headquarters are eligible to be deployed. Although Su Hao's Red Dragon Clan has more than six thousand personnel, there is still a difference between it and the first-level team. However, Su Hao has become accustomed to wearing Xiaolou's hand and getting some special objects that do not meet the regulations. He always seems to have a variety of methods, and God knows where he got it from? And what kind of means to legalize these super-heavy weapons, which should have been prohibited?

The number of residents of Konoha City has exceeded 150,000. Here, everyone is a "worker bee". With the survival of the original "worker bees" such as Kenson and Mo Xingkui, the transformation rate of the new "worker bees" has become extremely rapid. As when Su Hao was on Earth, the transformation of the first batch of "worker bees" was always the most difficult. Later, as the number of "worker bees" increases, the expansion rate of the "bee colony" will also show a geometric multiple.

The Red Dragon Warband's minions have grown quite large. Since the main army had no limit on the number of servant soldiers, Su Hao also expanded unscrupulously. The hundreds of battalion-sized servant troops that were originally led by Vimore and He Dong have now become a group army with more than 100,000 combatants. On the servant army establishment table of the "Iron Warriors" legion, it belongs to this part of the "Red Dragon Warband", and the numbers are "Red Dragon First" and "Red Dragon Second" servant group armies respectively.

According to the Human Empire's perception of the combat effectiveness of the army, the strongest combat force is, of course, the main army. The next ranking is the Imperial Wehrmacht, followed by the Servant Army and the garrisons in each space. However, this situation is not entirely accurate. Taking garrison units as an example, there are quite a few space units whose combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the National Defense Forces. On the one hand, because of the physique and comprehensive qualities of the recruited soldiers, and on the other hand, because of the weapons and equipment of the unit in which they worked.

In this regard, the "Iron Warriors" are in a unique position. It was a regiment formed in the earliest periods. At that time, the human empire had just been born, and the emperor was still leading his people. Over the years, the Iron Warriors have developed their own unique characteristics: a strong emphasis on technology, and at the same time an almost cold rationality. This makes the legion extremely powerful, and at the same time, it has special abilities that surpass other main legions in terms of combat weapons such as chariots and combat mechas.

Taking the most famous "Ghost Blade" vehicle as an example, the products made by the "Iron Legion" are usually about 20% better than the overall performance of the vehicles built by other legions. The composition of the armor, the quality of the artillery, the internal structure, every detail is different from other Legion products. This trait comes from the Iron Legion's emphasis on technological prowess. Although they are also genetically glands, they are particularly striking in terms of technical understanding and practical application.

Among the many legions, the Iron Warriors are nicknamed "a force led by blacksmiths". There is some truth to this statement, and the Iron Warriors are staffed by an extremely large number of engineering and mechanical technicians. They are not only responsible for technology and research, but also very powerful warriors. In the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, it's like a group of blacksmiths who pick up hammers and rush into the battlefield to smash at the enemy's head. Of course, at the beginning of the legion, the specific establishment of the "Iron Warriors" was similar to that of other legions, and each company consisted of about a thousand or so soldiers. Now there has been a change in the number of personnel and the size of the company. Many companies have become teams, and even those that still maintain their original numbers have too many fighters than they did in the beginning.

Overall, the Iron Warriors are a group of expert-level and even master-level tunnelmen, engineers, and miners. This statement is not derogatory at all, but uses easy-to-understand words to show the greatest merits of the "Iron Warriors" legion. Each of them is proficient in powerful construction machinery and weapons of war. These include tunnel diggers, large transport ships, high-speed combat magnetic assault boats, and a variety of heavy combat vehicles. They are accustomed to using heavy fire to cover the enemy, and this practice is very effective in battle. The Iron Warriors follow a very simple battle rule: they must first bombard the enemy with all their firepower. Of course, this is not an indiscriminate bombing. Every bombing campaign has been carefully calculated and planned to maximize the effectiveness of every weapon. Typically, such bombardments can last for weeks until every stone in the target area is blown into sand. And the "Iron Warriors" never seem to be short of ammunition. They are proficient in mastering their weapons, maintaining a good formation to bombard the enemy, and then quickly moving before the enemy can launch a counterattack. Their entire forces would suddenly concentrate their fire on the enemy's weak points before mercilessly crushing the counterattackers struggling in despair.

This is the real reason why Su Hao's department, the current "Red Dragon Clan", can be greatly expanded, and even has two servant group army numbers.

Su Hao's current military rank has been promoted to colonel. For thirty years, the rank was only two levels higher. Such a thing would have been unthinkable in the Reichswehr. That's enough for an ordinary soldier to grow into a colonel, or to turn an obscure second lieutenant into a general. The war between the Empire and the Dark World has always been fierce, and there is never a need to worry about the end of the war, and the military is not likely to do anything. This also shows from the side how difficult it is to promote the ranks of the main corps. You may be able to go from soldier to second lieutenant very quickly. However, to become a major from second lieutenant to major, it must take the effort and hardship of climbing to the rank of general of a Wehrmacht soldier.

Konoha City has an extremely large stockpile of weapons and ammunition. All of these are the logistical materials given by the corps headquarters to the "Red Dragon Clan". With the help of Dai Xiaolou, Su Hao successfully obtained the weapons production line from the corps headquarters. It was a series of heavy workshops with a huge output, and Su Hao was authorized by Legion Commander Hoffman to set up a large military factory in Konoha City. There are more than 6,000 regular legion soldiers, as well as as more than 100,000 servant troops, which makes Konoha City more and more prosperous and powerful.

Subconsciously, Su Hao even faintly hoped that there would be dark creatures who would take the initiative to provoke them as before, or attack Konoha City in groups. He couldn't wait to see how strong the fortified city's defenses really were. From an outsider's point of view, it is difficult to understand this terrible thinking. However, Konoha City can almost be said to have been created by Su Hao. He knew better than anyone how strong and weak the city was. This kind of thing can only be judged in battle, and in normal times, this is at most a city, but on the outside, it looks like it has a lot more cannons and guard towers than other cities in the inner region of the empire.

There are still a lot of uncomfortable feelings in the brain and body. The cold of the night was gnawing at Su Hao's exposed face and neck with its fangs. At this time, a terrible mental exhaustion made Su Hao's thoughts so sluggish and drowsy. Fear, loneliness, helplessness, and worst of all, deathly silence around you. Su Hao still clearly remembers: he had just been blown away by a heavy throwing gun, and when he fell, his ears were filled with the harsh noise of the battlefield, the high-frequency roar of the shotgun, the explosion of the heavy blow grenade, the roar of the "salamander" self-propelled cannon, and the wails and screams of the wounded and dying people were mixed together, resounding through the sky and echoing everywhere like thunder.

It felt so real that it didn't feel like the effect of meditation at all.

Then, the sound gradually fell silent, slowly fading into the distance, until a qiē returned to silence. And Su Hao never thought that a person would miss and enjoy the once harsh noise so much. Just as the roar of the battlefield was terrifying, the silence that followed brought a deeper sense of fear. At this moment, in the depths of darkness, fear became his most loyal friend, unreservedly and unrelentingly tormenting his already fragile heart.

Or the damn question from before: how long has it been until now? It seems that this damn problem will not let him go, and Su Hao is helpless about it. He felt that he had woken up a little early, earlier than usual, so that his brain was still in a state of semi-wakefulness, and his ability to perceive the outside world had also decreased significantly.

Su Hao had never found himself so hated war, violence and killing.

But if you don't, the person who is killed will become yourself, the closest people around you.

Su Hao felt that there must have been some kind of deviation in his thinking. His brain space "saw" other scenes that were completely unfamiliar.

It's warm, it's bright, and it's two worlds from the darkness you're in now.

As the sun sets, the sunset stains the western sky red, and the endless waves of wheat gently stir in the evening breeze, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, slowly immerse themselves in the depths of the ocean where the intoxicating golden yellow and amber meet.

Su Hao is seventeen years old.

In his past life, he had seen a sunset like this a thousand times. The scenery was so beautiful, so spectacular, that he always stood there looking at the horizon in a daze, silently distracted.

There is no cold, no darkness, only an incomparably soft light and warmth. It's like a thick quilt that wraps around your body on a cold night.

When Su Hao was a child, the first time he saw this sunset, he was deeply attracted to her. At that moment, he was ecstatic, and the chores at hand were left behind. Su Hao stood there with a surprised face like this, the world around him was quiet and peaceful, watching the night slowly fall, and a nameless emotion slowly surged up from the depths of his heart.

There must be other sunsets in this world.

What Su Hao meant was that there must be more suns elsewhere. For a child, there is nothing wrong with this thinking. Warmth and brightness are what everyone yearns for, and they all want more. However, there is no sun that is more important to him than the one in front of him. It was the first time in his life that he had seen, the first time he had felt, the first time he had dream-like thoughts. So fascinating, so intoxicating.

At this moment, nothing could be more meaningful than standing by a wheat field and looking at the sunset over your hometown one last time.

Family.

This word alone was enough to make Su Hao turn his head, past the waves of wheat that were undulating and swaying back and forth in the breeze, and looked at the clusters of farms on the edge of the fields in the distance. He saw old barns with broken planks, round towers with grain storage, chicken coops he had built with his father, and livestock fences for stallions and pigs, and cattle and chickens and ducks.

It feels weird. Why did I suddenly think of my father?

Su Hao felt a little funny. His memories of his father had faded. Even the most basic framework of appearance has long been forgotten. It is not surprising that in the future world, everyone will have to work hard to survive. One piece of noodles is enough to decide life and death. Although he was a researcher, Wang Qinian's patronage of the Academy of Sciences kept him away from the war. But in any case, Su Hao has already learned to face death in a long time.

My father, who was supposed to be a scholar.

But in the picture of his mind at this moment, he has become a farmer.

The identity shift between humans is so wonderful. The poor fantasize that they will one day become rich, and the ugly woman fantasizes that she will be able to get a glamorous and peerless face. And why did I fantasize about my father becoming a farmer? This is clearly not quite logical. Is that, in my subconscious, thinking like this?

Su Hao cast his gaze into the distance, and he saw the farmhouse where he was born and raised. It is two stories high and has a wooden foyer in front, and the shutters on the windows are always open to let enough light into the house. Thinking about the daily chores that are repeated at home every day, Su Hao can guess what happened at home without even entering the house.

Oh! That's Mother.

A thin woman, who almost never smiled, and whose face was always full of distress and sorrow.

This is reality, not imagination.

In Su Hao's "sight", a middle-aged woman wearing a floral cloth waist and a slightly chubby figure was constantly busy.

Mother is preparing dinner in the kitchen, and there is a younger sister, her own sister, who is helping her set the table, and what about her father? Fiddling with his tools in the basement.

Then, as they do every night, they finish their work and go to the table for dinner together.

Tomorrow night they will repeat the same thing.

This pattern of life is day after day, with only slight changes at the turn of the seasons.

Yes, I have family, a lot, it's complete. The family structure is no different from others. I have what they have, and I have what they don't. Isn't it? The mother and father are contemplating a few more children. The farm is big and the house is huge. The crop produced is enough to feed the family, and it can live well. We are very happy, since we were children.

It's just that the world in the mind is not Kunming, nor is it the Academy of Sciences that the future world will be familiar with. Su Hao couldn't find clues about the specific location from his thoughts. Aside from the endless wheat fields and farmsteads, and the brilliant warm sunsets in the sky, he had no specific characteristics of that world.

There, it seems, is flat.

But this time tomorrow, Yiqiē will be a little different, and he will not be standing here anymore.

Su Hao knew very well that this should be Konoha City, it should be the dark world, and it should be a war between humans and dark creatures.

The world is dark again. This feeling of falling directly from the light to the darkness was terrible, Su Hao felt as if he had been suddenly tied to a heavy stone on his body, and he was kicked off the top of the mountain or the boat sailing on the sea, and the "bone lulu" rolled directly to the bottom of the deepest pit. The retinal nerves were unable to adapt to the sudden changes, instantly congested, with only a terrible black color in front of them, and they could not touch anything with their real form when they stretched out their hands. There were shouts of killing and screams everywhere. It makes people's scalp tingle, their legs weak, and they don't even have the courage to get up and run away.

I don't like the world, really.

What am I here for in the future?

Is it to grow old and die in this day-to-day responsibility and exploration?

This is the third stage world, a strange world.

But why, does it feel so familiar to me?

Like Earth, my opponent is not a dark creature, but a mutated creature that has always existed from beginning to end. I1292
