Chapter 1292: The Gladiator Regiment has been assembled
The secret assembly activities of the cult, the First Order is not ignorant of it.
Although the sensitivity and timeliness of intelligence collection are not yet high due to the fact that the global monitoring system has not yet been completed, the monitoring level in the area of human activity is at least one level higher than that of the wilderness.
It's just that in order to avoid the disgust and even panic of the people, under Kane's instructions, the First Order chose secret surveillance.
The term 'First Order', derived from Star Wars, is the heir to the mantle of the Sith Empire, characterized by tight surveillance, high-pressure control, and excessive violence.
At the beginning, Zhao Wenrui chose to establish the name of the organization for himself, which is very suitable for both literal and practical, and at the same time, there is no lack of self-deprecation. After all, his memory background is that he has not experienced the life of a reincarnation, just like the Buddha-figure of a new earth traveler, and compared with Kane's Buddha, he is also a little more sensual and literate.
Kane later used this name as the name of the organization derived from him as a core derivation in honor of Zhao Wenrui's contribution (legacy).
Before this, he had always used the Iron Blood Swarm, the Lord of the Death Star, and other sets that sounded more embarrassing and middle-class.
In any case, the First Order is the kind of official that has a lot of secrets and shady scenes, and thinks that the people only need to know some information they should know, not to worry about it, and to live their own life with peace of mind.
And an important reason for doing this is, of course, to be confident enough in one's own ability.
This includes operations that are close to phishing law enforcement, not afraid of not being able to hold on, and causing incidents that could have been stopped in time to become a disaster.
This may seem paradoxical. After all, Kane was worried that after the First Order took over Gradius's official responsibility, due to the short time, he would not be able to complete the duties that should be completed well, and now he is so confident that he will allow the fire to spread into a wildfire......
But in fact, it is precisely because of the lack of strategic confidence that the tactics adopt the strategy of waiting for the enemy to be completely exposed and then catching them all.
If you are really confident, then you will deal with it when you find it, and you will eliminate small disasters and disasters in time. Because I have abundant strength to shoot frequently, I don't have to worry about cutting grass and not being able to eradicate the roots.
Now this kind of is limited in strength, worried about being played by the enemy as a monkey, and exhausted, so it sacrifices the safety of the people to a certain extent, and only when the crisis completely breaks out will the thunderbolt be used.
Of course, this will make those who could have been saved, who joined the criminal gang because they were blinded or hot-headed, end up having to pay a high price for their stupidity, and even affect the innocent, but there is also a chance to catch the main culprit behind the scenes, even if they don't die, it will make them hurt their bones and bones, and they will not be able to make waves again for a long time.
After all, behind-the-scenes manipulation is also very about investment, whether it is the total amount of investment or the sustainability of investment, it often determines the extent to which the chess pieces can contribute to the results.
Generally speaking, the people behind the scenes actually have strong demands, not just to watch the excitement.
"Within 12 hours, underground associations suspected of being cults held in many cities around the world, and the duration exceeded the level of ordinary friendship. It seems that these gangs, which used to play their own games, have found an organization. After Kane got the information, he laughed a few times, and then ordered: "Temporarily deprive the participants of their civil rights, closely monitor, and if they find any behavior that endangers society, they will be immediately arrested, and they will be allowed to be killed on the spot according to their level of harm." ”
With this order, the official space ship immediately unlocked a series of new means.
This kind of air-space ship with stealth function is a composite equipment that is unmanned and unmanned. After the official announcement of an increase in the security alert level. And they were sent out. Its main task is to monitor assemblies in conjunction with the official 'Advise Citizen Propaganda'.
It is recommended that the main content of citizens' propaganda is nothing more than the official statement that there are unstable factors that affect social security, and it is recommended that people reduce outdoor recreation, and it is best to go home early after work.
Since it is only a suggestion, not an enforcement, it naturally indicates that the alert level is still high enough.
Most of the functions of the powerful aerospace ship are also locked, focusing only on those densely populated targets through thermal imaging.
After all, this kind of target is the most prone to chaos, and ordinary families, even if there is an abnormality, the damage is very limited.
This kind of surveillance, in turn, focuses on gatherings that are not bars or clubs, and Miranda even correlates with the information left by the previous officials to confirm information such as the provider of the venue, so as to estimate the nature of the gathering.
This is how the secret society meeting that is suspected of being a cult is determined.
Now, with the temporary deprivation of the citizenship rights of the people involved, high-level surveillance is immediately enforced.
Professional equipment was airdropped from the drone.
These UAVs are sub-units of the Aerospace Ship, just like the relationship between fighters and AWACS aircraft.
An aerospace ship is often responsible for monitoring dozens of towns.
After the drone drops the listening device, these smart devices will take place on their own, and they only need to be attached to the wall to detect weak vibrations, including the level of vibration generated on the wall after the normal pitch of the speaking voice is transmitted through the air.
After this information was transmitted, it was analyzed and restored by special analytical instruments, so that the officials increasingly confirmed that some assembly activities were not only doing illegal things, but also very dangerous, and the relevant combat forces began to be deployed to prevent accidents.
Kane and Albert, meanwhile, have their own other actions.
For Kane, the chaos that cultists can make is nothing more than ringworm scabies after all.
After all, the upper limit of combat power is there.
Without heavy weapons, it is impossible to pop up a bunch of high-level demons at once.
Demon ascension is not so cheap, even if the evil god himself leads and opens the mode of local tyrants scattering money, it depends on the qualifications of believers in this session.
To be long is nothing more than a group of light infantry with extraordinary abilities, and in Kane's eyes, the main destructive power of this enemy lies in surprise and chaos.
Now that the First Order was fully wary of this, and could strike a thunderous blow at any time, there was no need for him to worry too much.
The main thing to guard against is the unknown enemy that appears in other ways.
Underground, wild, and undetectable when the evil power is brewing, it is often too violent after it erupts, and if the distant water does not quench the thirst of the near, it may cause great losses.
So Kane rushed to the training camp to see for himself how Gradius version of the Stormtroopers, an elite warband called the Gladiators, was trained.
The First Order built one hundred and twenty training camps in Gradius in one fell swoop. Even after completing this batch of personnel retraining and assessment projects, more than half of the training camps will be dismantled in three years.
According to the mortal standards of the First Order, a swordsman must undergo at least seven hundred and twenty hours of training before he can be expected to become a talent.
But it must be said that there are always amazing talents, or talents that are just right for serving this bowl of rice.
Talent here refers to temperament, not the ability to run and jump or something.
After all, the First Order has high-end biochemical technology, and if it is really expanded, it is completely fine to establish a supernatural power hierarchy system that can compete with the evil gods.
It is not an exaggeration to call this group of people who are particularly outstanding in terms of soul, who are flexible and keen, determined and tenacious, have normal three views, have passed the political examination, and have passed the virtual comprehensive test with excellent results.
For these outstanding military talents, which totaled less than two hundred, Kane did not hesitate to give.
When he met them in person before, he said the following:
"Gradius, with great natural beauty and abundant produce. But this is not a good place, because before the arrival of humans, it was already frequented by intelligent races, and left many secrets and troubles behind. ”
"You represent the power of the Pioneers of Gradiaus, a planet that has been inhabited by humans for more than 2,000 years, and whether or not it can become a second home for the Pioneers, your performance is crucial. ”
"I reserve to you the title of 'Swordsman Instructor', which represents the supreme force of the Gladius people, and I hope that you will prove that you are worthy of it with great achievements, and I also hope that one day, you will become a well-known warband of the Empire, so that countless people in the Empire's colonized world can know the name of the Gladius Instructional Regiment. ”
And this time, Kane is here to see for himself the transformation and adaptation of this championship team.
Despite the virtual world, these warriors have fully tried to gain that feeling of great power.
But there is a gap between the virtual world and reality.
One of the key points is the so-called muscle memory, that is, the filling of information from the neurons of the limbs.
For the first order, this can also be done manually, but it requires the cooperation of the parties and cannot be achieved overnight.
In the process of specific fine-tuning, there are always problems of one kind or another.
According to Miranda's report, there were about twenty people, showing serious discomfort, although the First Order was very patient, but it was impossible to drag it all the time, if it could not be improved within the time limit, then this part of the people, regrettably, could only be sent back to the original unit.
The strictness of the Gladiator Training Corps is comparable to that of the Astarte monks. It is better to lack than to excess, in order to make this IP an instant hit, and set an example for future generations, so that it will always become a symbol of the professional pinnacle that the whole army, and even countless imperial soldiers, look up to.
Shortly after Kane arrived at Camp 1, he received reports that eleven of them had failed to meet the deadline.
Kane thought about it for a while, and finally decided to see them off in person.
Although the Gladiator Training Corps is only a supernumerary of the First Order. Its individual combat power can only be ranked at the bottom of the various combat personnel sequences of the First Order.
But it has two characteristics that make Kane look at it differently.
First of all, it is a fighting force made up of spiritual beings, not puppets.
Secondly, Kane tried to absorb the best part of the Warhammer 40K Universe Human Empire, that is, the fighting personality cultivated by tens of thousands of years of war history and the foundation bed of billions of people.
Kane hopes to obtain elite fighters that are more in line with the style of the First Order through deliberate recruitment and training, but in the form of big data information, the personality traits of these elite fighters are collected and stored in the information database so that he can use them when needed.
This plan, known as the 'Heroic Soul Project', has been implemented for a long time, which is why the soldiers of the First Order are always exceptionally strong.
Although the puppets of the First Order have no spirituality, they often represent the personality of the most shining soldier of a certain era, and this kind of outstanding character is itself favored by fate, and its personality often has certain mysterious qualities that have not yet been thoroughly analyzed, which is more reliable than the so-called perfect warrior personality that is concocted by the brain.
The difference between the two is quite a bit of the earth's modern plantation and natural forest performance characteristics in terms of resistance to natural disasters. Natural forests are not only more complex and diverse in their ecological environment, but also have some characteristics that have not yet been analyzed by human beings. There are similar differences between the brain-hole programming personality and the naturally born personality.
Therefore, after Kane noticed this situation and inherited more information about the programming puppet's chain at critical moments from Zhao Wenrui's inheritance, he became more and more inclined to the collection of elite personalities and heroic personalities.
And the constant nature of the war-burning nature of the Warhammer 40K universe made Kane feel that the resources here were relatively rich, and it was worth his efforts to collect them.
Interestingly, the most well-known Astarte monk in the Warhammer 40K universe, Kane is not eye-catching. In his words: "The body is demonized, the soul is brainwashed, this kind of artificial soldiers who are too deliberately made, in my eyes, are defective products with many hidden dangers." ”
It's too much, and the Space Marines have such a problem in Kane's opinion. The kind of series of operations that seem to be a lot to talk about and the selection process can be called harsh is still too rough and violent in Kane's eyes, and what he disdains the most is the fact that the extremely uncontrollable new and the quality of looking at the face is too strong.
Kane believes that when he was still a reincarnation, he did this because of various unavoidable skills such as immaturity, and after becoming a senior reincarnation, he gave up. I'd rather use a puppet that is relatively inferior in strength, but more reliable and controllable.
This perception has not changed even today.
Taking the Gladiator Training Corps as an example, no matter how good its members are, they are only the periphery for the First Order. The key must be Kane's reverence, or mistrust, of spirituality. And not because they are indigenous to this universe.
The high-level swordsmen who already have a reputation as champion seeds have a lot of respect for Kane.
There are two main reasons for this.
1. The grace of promotion. It can be said that it was Kane who gave them almost the motivation to show their strengths. Many of them failed to see their strengths and strengths before this, and they were just messing around.
They thought to themselves that without Kane, they would probably spend the rest of their lives in mediocrity, and even if they could seize the opportunity to achieve something, it would be difficult to have such a high starting point and a bright future as they do now.
2. The gift of strength. The body modification, which is mainly genetically modified, has not stopped until now, and according to what Shangfeng revealed to them, there are at least twelve levels waiting for them to climb.
They couldn't imagine what kind of power they would have at that time, after all, the results they had achieved so far were already fantastic heights for many of them, and their strength was unimaginable in the past.
They know very well that just by rushing to this power, their status, treatment, etc., can be earth-shaking changes. As a result, they and their families will have a good life and be respected.
Kane gathered the men, affirmed them, and encouraged them, saying that the mission that would allow them to prove their worth would soon be released, and that he would be ready to make the name of the Swordsman Training Corps soar.
Albert, the father of aberration, was wandering in the uninhabited wilderness at this time, to be specific, mainly following the cracks and holes of subspace.
This place was tossed by the ancient saints, star gods, and space necromancers back then, and it smelled of space fragmentation.
If something big happens, it is very likely that the Far Eastern Star Domain will add another chaotic region where subspace and the physical universe coexist in disorder.
I have to say that there are really a lot of chaotic regions like the Far East Star Field.
In addition to the bottomless caverns inhabited by Orson the Cruel, there are the Rift of Disobedience, Heart of Darkness, Hell's Pole, Celtic Molten Flow, Van Grörjoser's speed, and the Maelstrom second only to the Eye of Dread in scale and intensity.
The main reason for this is that the Far Eastern Star Domain was a battlefield area where the ancient saints and the star gods and space necromancy had frequent confrontations, and the victory or defeat of the war can be said to have determined the fate of the various races in the galaxy for a long time.
Gradius, on the other hand, is a biological experiment base of the Ancient Sage.
That's why there are Katachan demons and Klute hounds.
The Katachan Demon, also known as the jungle ghost, the tropical rainforest, the devil's horror creature, and the transcendent mystery, these three label concepts are fused together, which is almost the characteristics of the Katachan demon.
The Klute Hound, on the other hand, is famous for the Klute people.
Clut Man is a humanoid creature that evolved from birds. They have a moa-like beak, which is quite different from ordinary bird beaks, relatively not as sharp and narrow as ordinary bird beaks, and when it is renewed, the trap has sharp and hard teeth.
The Kruts also have flamboyant feathered hair that looks like porcupine burrs in bunches.
The Klut people are most famous for their ability to acquire the physical prowess of their targets, which they achieve by eating them alive.
It's kind of like an alien blank strand of DNA. But the Kruts are not as thorough as the aliens, having fused the merits of their targets from the time of embryology. Their acquisition is more like a predatory imitation.
For example, a creature can give birth to substances with monolayer-like characteristics, so as to obtain razor-sharp claws and horns, and the Klut people can also obtain this ability if they successfully devour it, which may be slightly inferior to the prototype, but it is definitely practical and performs well.
Even the Krut people are affected by the temperament of the target they devour.
For example, if they devour a dark race, then over time, their temperament will become more gloomy and ferocious. Vice versa.
This trait of the Klut is due to the peculiar ecosystem of its home planet, Pike.
In a way, this system is very similar to the Zerus inhabited by the primordials of the Zeg swarm in the SC universe.
The path of biological evolution of Zerus is full of biomass devouring characteristics.
The Pike is similar, and many of the creatures that exist, including the Crut Hound, are perfectly fine with being distant relatives of the Klutt.
The beasts and livestock that Krut commanded, such as riding beasts, pack beasts, falcons, and hounds, are all Klut creatures who have gone astray in the so-called evolutionary way.
And the Kluts, at least for now, have proved that their line of evolution is correct, human-like, higher creatures, and moving towards higher orders.
It will take a few more years for the Krut people to be absorbed by the superior good path of the Titanium Clan, and become an important military source of the Titanium Clan.
The Klute Hound, on the other hand, has a cortex of the rhinoceros and elephant type, with thick and long limbs, a longer and more pointed mouth than ordinary dogs, a deep mouth, sharp teeth, and a strong bite. The short tail and the bone spurs on the back, not the kind that grow along the spine, but the feather-like spines of a half-bald pheasant. Bone spurs do not rely on flesh, so the Clut Hound's back spines grow like this, which means that its back is armor-like bone plates, which are quite resistant to beating.
The Klute Hound is known for its stealth and penetration, and they are smarter than dolphins, but not as sensitive and fragile as dolphins, and are semi-intelligent beasts.
Albert's target this time is the Clut Hound. It serves as the base of the Chaos Egg.
The Katachan Demon is naturally better. But being able to be called a demon naturally has its horrors, and without strong combat power, Albert can't afford to mess with it.
