Chapter 17 Graduation
There is an unwritten rule in the Imperial Army that if you reach the second rank before the age of eighteen, you can enter the Special Legion. However, the top ones of the special legion only recruit second-level soldiers who are less than seventeen years old. And this is only the minimum threshold, and there are many other conditions that must be met before it can be favored by the most elite legions of these empires.
Thousand Nights is already sixteen.
It takes time to ignite the nodes, consolidate the strength, and then prepare for the graduation exams. If you don't reach the second level until you're close to the age of seventeen, then it's probably going to be difficult for Qianye to get admission to the Special Legion.
Graduates of the Yellow Springs training camp almost always serve in the Imperial Army for a few years before they seek their own development. From the moment he walked into the training camp, Qianye had already secretly set up his ambitions. Not only does he have to come out alive, but he also has to enter the top, at least the first-class special forces.
Only in this way, Qianye felt that he would not insult the surname he would get, Lin.
Qianye is not lacking in talent, but that old wound has almost ruined everything for him! However, in this world of war and turmoil, everyone only looks at the result, and no one cares about the process.
Qianye is already sixteen years old, but he has not yet broken through the second level, and this is the result. And tonight, he's going to change that outcome!
Under the moonlight, the Force of the Thousand Nights began to surge, gradually converging into a tide, and then pushed through the scar area with great difficulty, and began to impact the node barrier.
Rounds of Force tides continue to be generated, and intolerable pain continues to strike. But Qianye's heart was already blank, quietly waiting for the result.
The seventeenth round of the Force tide has passed, and the eighteenth round of the Force tide has finally arrived!
Qianye's face was pale, sweating like rain, and his whole body trembled under the powerful shock of the Force and the staggered attack of severe pain. Every Force wave makes Qianye feel like she has died and been reborn!
In the blink of an eye, from one wave to nine waves, when the ninth wave slapped towards the node barrier, Qianye seemed to hear a crisp snap, and the originally indestructible barrier appeared countless cracks under the impact of the extremely powerful force, and shattering was just around the corner!
The tide slowly receded, and the Force calmed down. Qianye's mind was finally relieved, and then his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
When Chiya woke up, it was already two days later.
He opened his eyes and saw the familiar classroom, with a cold metal platform underneath him, and it was clear that Shen Tu had saved him again.
"Nonsense! It's nonsense!" the old man, who never took living creatures seriously, actually scolded Qianye like this.
Shen Tu's medical skills are indeed strong, Qianye forcibly endured eighteen rounds of Force tides, and his internal organs were broken everywhere, so such injuries could be healed by him, and there were no hidden dangers. No matter how Shen Tu scolded, now Qianye was only grateful to him in his heart.
With eighteen rounds of Force Tides as a base, a month later, Thousand Nights finally ignited the node and became a second-level soldier.
After becoming a Tier 2 soldier, most people will awaken an ability related to the Force. Some of the lucky ones can also choose between several abilities. Chiya, who was originally incredibly talented, was eligible to choose, and he could choose between heavy warheads, Force jumps, and double shots as his abilities.
Qianye didn't think much about it, and directly chose a heavy warhead.
The Heavy Warhead is a very common ability that is designed for use with Force firearms. When this ability is activated, it can deliver a blow that is much more powerful than usual, and its power is about one and a half times that of a normal shot.
After Thousand Nights ignites the second Force node, she finds that the Force generated from this node is extremely violent and extremely difficult to control. In this case, a heavy warhead that focuses only on power is the most suitable for his ability.
After another two months of careful preparation, Qianye applied to take the graduation exam of the training camp. When he walked towards the Grand Canyon, in addition to the most basic field dagger he was equipped with, he also carried a strange rifle behind him.
It's an Force rifle, and while it's only the simplest and most basic model, it's still the Force gun!
During the graduation exam, each student will only be given a dagger, and no other equipment is allowed. The exception to this is the handmade equipment that students make, and they can bring anything into the exam room.
Qianye's perfect score in all the knowledge classes finally paid off at this time, and he started with the most basic material processing, and actually built a Force rifle by himself! Although this is only the simplest and most primitive Force gun, the energy compression device can only store one Force bullet.
In this way, Chiya became the first cadet in thirty years to take the graduation exam with the Force gun.
The spar lizard is indeed a formidable rival, but that is for a student with a rudimentary dagger. A hundred meters away, Chiya began to charge the Force gun, aim, activate the heavy warhead, and shoot.
A blazing red light flew out from the muzzle of the gun, directly blasting away half of the spar lizard's head!
It's as simple as that, and there's no rule that you can't use a Force firearm, as long as you can build it. Moreover, Qianye's gun is exceptionally powerful, and after the bonus of heavy warheads, it is already equivalent to a blow from a third-level soldier.
In the third month after her sixteenth birthday, Qianye finally graduated from the Yellow Springs training camp.
The news of Qianye's graduation soon spread. A few days later, Shi Yan drove a heavy-duty truck to the valley mouth of the valley where the training camp was located.
In a trance, Qianye had been in the Huangquan training camp for nine years.
At this time, Qianye was already one meter eighty-five, not much shorter than the burly Shi Yan. His body is not as muscular as Shi Yan's, but there is no feeling of thinness, his body is well-proportioned and slender, and every line is full of tension.
Shi Yan is still the same, but there are some traces of time in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, which makes people suddenly realize the ruthlessness of time.
Seeing Qianye, Shi Yanmune's face suddenly had a little more light, he raised his hand as if he habitually wanted to touch Qianye's head, and then punched Qianye's chest heavily, and praised: "Good boy! Finally come out alive! Come here, let me take a good look!"
Qianye's facial features are pure and clear, and he is still very delicate, but he just received a punch from Shi Yan, but he didn't even shake it, which made Shi Yan even happier, and turned the stiff lines on his face into a smile.
Shi Yan greeted Qianye and jumped into the cab of the heavy-duty truck. This soldier, who can't laugh a few times a year, has a soft spot for this rugged heavy-duty truck.
After Qianye also got into the car, Shi Yan drove away.
In the cab, Shi Yan said: "Lin Shuai was very happy when he heard that you had graduated, and immediately asked me to pick you up." But unfortunately, Lin Shuai has been sitting in the western frontier of the empire recently, and he can't get out of his body at all, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him in a short time. ”
"What's going on over there in the West?" asked Qianye.
"There was a rebellion in the two provinces and they wanted independence. It's not a big deal, it's just a bit of a hassle to deal with. The rebels are very cunning, and they will always hide in the homes of civilians in order to hide their identity. ”
"Rebels?" said Qianye for the first time.
Shi Yan said in disgust: "It's just a bunch of fools who don't know how thick the sky is!" The Empire has been fighting against the dark race with all its might, and instead of contributing to the front line, these guys are constantly making trouble in the rear. Hey, the empire has been established for 1,200 years, and now there are 300 provinces across four continents, how can these clowns be able to overthrow it?"
Chiya listened quietly. If the strength of the two provinces can drag Lin Xitang in the western Xinjiang, then of course the rebels will not be as vulnerable as Shi Yan said.
Shi Yan silently drove the meeting car, and then said with a little heaviness: "The rebels are very troublesome. As I said earlier, they tend to hide among the common people, and the people of those two provinces are also very ignorant, and many of them would rather be put to death than sheltered by themselves, their relatives and friends. Lin Shuai couldn't help them for a while, so they thought they had a plan. Hmph, these idiots, in fact, what do they know! Lin Shuai just didn't want to hurt innocent people, and he didn't use the iron-fisted means of clearing the wilderness, which made the war delay. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Yan paused for a long time before exhaling heavily, "Such days will not last long." After a while, if there is still no progress, Lin Shuai will change his defense, and he will be replaced by a general from another faction. No matter which of the generals is there, those two provinces will be bleeding!"
Qianye suddenly felt inexplicably heavy. Even Shi Yan has to be described as a river of blood, so how many people will die?
In the Huangquan training camp, he has killed people in a thousand nights, and he no longer regards human life as something that cannot be taken lightly. But compared to these famous generals of the empire, Qianye is far from nothing. In the future, even if he becomes a generation of top killers, the people he kills in his life and the dark race combined, I am afraid that it will not be worth a fluttering order from these generals.
Heavy-duty trucks are running wild.
"A thousand nights!" Shi Yan said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Starting tomorrow, it happens to be the day of recruitment for the Imperial Military Department, and I will take you over to participate in the assessment. Behave well, this time two of the five elite legions of the empire will have examiners present. If you behave well, you have a chance to get in!"
"I'll do my best!"
Shi Yan suddenly sighed and said, "I hope you can enter the elite legion, and one day you will be able to become a famous general of the empire in the future! Lin Shuai has too many enemies in the army. ”
Hearing this, Qianye's heart sank.
Shi Yan took out something from his arms, handed it to Qianye, and said, "This is what Lin Shuai gave you." ”
When Qianye took it and looked at it, he found that it was a special paper folded squarely, with dark lines on the paper, and when it was unfolded, it was written in three big characters with strong and powerful handwriting. However, the corners of the paper are a little hairy, the creases seem to be some years old, and the ink is a little dull.
"That was written by Lin Shuai nine years ago. Shi Yan seemed to know what Qianye was thinking.
"Nine years ago?" Thousand Nights couldn't believe it. Nine years ago, wasn't it when I first entered the Huangquan training camp?
"When Lin Shuai asked me to send you to Huangquan, he said that you would definitely come back alive. Shi Yan said with a smile.
The heavy-duty truck ran all the way, and arrived at an airship base in the middle of the night, just as a cargo airbag boat entered the port, and Shi Yan drove up with people.
The airship simply resupplied and began to return in the middle of the night.
Destination, Xiangyang.
This is the largest military-industrial city on the Qin land and ranks third in the entire empire.
