In the old calendar 3814, the great imperial monarch Aotian Long Victor was born in a small aristocratic family in the Western Continent, and the old calendar 3814 when the Aotian monarch was born was also changed to the first year of the imperial calendar.

In the thirteenth year of the imperial calendar, the young Aotian Emperor showed an amazing talent in alchemy, and various magical items were created, which also laid a solid foundation for the Aotian Emperor to dominate the world in the future.

In the seventeenth year of the imperial calendar, the decaying thousand-year-old empire of the Weigel Empire has been twilight, the terrifying high-pressure rule and the endless looting of the people have made the rebels all over the empire rise up, and the young Aotian Emperor has also taken advantage of the situation to establish his own rebel army, and at the same time the weapons that have changed the normal state of the world war have also revealed their true colors, relying on the sharp first generation of magic crystal guns and magic crystal cannons, the army of the Aotian Emperor is invincible, and in just half a year, they have defeated the army sent by the Emperor of the Weigel Empire one after another, and their reputation has become famous, and the rebels from all walks of life have defected。

In the twenty-fifth year of the imperial calendar, the Aotian Emperor gathered the Eighteenth Road Righteous Army in the Bird's Language Plain of the Western Continent, defeated the 500,000 troops of the Weigel Empire, and in the same year, the morale of the righteous army smashed the Yellow Dragon and broke through the imperial capital of the Weigel Empire, and the last emperor Makan committed suicide, and the Weigel Empire, which had existed for 1,300 years, ended its historical mission.

In the twenty-eighth year of the imperial calendar, after annexing and exterminating all the rebels, the Proud Emperor ascended the throne and established the immortal Phoenix Empire.

In the fifty-first year of the imperial calendar, after more than 20 years of hard work, the Phoenix Empire, which had restored its national strength, launched a war of unification against the surrounding countries under the leadership of the Aotian Emperor, and the other countries of the western continent could not resist the attack of the Phoenix Empire, and were either destroyed or surrendered to become vassals.

In the eighty-second year of the imperial calendar, the thirty-year unification war ended with the victory of the Aotian Emperor, and the entire Western Continent was bathed in the light of the Aotian Emperor, in order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the empire, the wise Aotian Emperor ordered the entire Western Continent to completely abolish the cultivation of Dou Qi and magic, and confiscate the cultivation methods of Dou Qi and magic, Dou Qi and magic have imprisoned the wisdom of the people for a long time, and it is the rotten dregs that must be eliminated, and it is replaced by a magic crystal industrial system based on alchemy in the Western Continent to be fully established, and the people's production, Life has taken a qualitative leap.

In the ninety years of the imperial calendar, the ambitious Aotian Emperor launched a war for the unification of the Eastern Continent, and the Eastern Continent Coalition Army, which was still in the old era, had no power to fight back in front of the Imperial Army, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the Aotian Emperor passed away in the fifth year of the expedition, and the Imperial Expedition to the Eastern Continent had to be stopped forever, and only obtained a small occupation in the Eastern Continent. Knowledge such as the magic crystal cannon was valued by the countries of the Eastern Continent, and after the armistice agreement was signed, scholars were sent to the Phoenix Empire to learn relevant knowledge.

In the one hundred and eighty-second year of the imperial calendar, the Eastern and Western Continents have undergone earth-shaking changes, the fighting spirit and magic have disappeared without a trace, the magic crystal industry has fully blossomed in the Eastern and Western Continents, and the people's lives have been greatly improved compared with two hundred years ago.

In the year 290 of the imperial calendar, the fifth emperor of the Phoenix Empire, who had just ascended the throne and was only thirty-two years old, Victor VI launched the Second War of Unification of the Eastern Continent under the pretext of fulfilling the last wish of the Proud Emperor.

In the year 315 of the imperial calendar, the second war of unification of the Eastern Continent has been carried out for twenty-five years, this time the war is different from more than two hundred years ago, the armies of both sides of the war are all equipped with the latest magic crystal weapons, and at the same time, the countries of the Eastern Continent have already foreseen the outbreak of war, so the army of the Phoenix Empire fought very hard, but even so, the Imperial Army still achieved a series of victories, with the help of two new weapons, about half of the land of the Eastern Continent was occupied by the Imperial Army, and the coalition forces of the Eastern Continent were defeated and retreated.

"Smack. ”

Ouyang Yu, the library in Cabo City, closed the general history of the continent in her hand, she has been soaking in the library for the past few days, and she has a certain understanding of the current world, and she also knows where she is now.

The place where Ouyang Yu is now located is located in the Duchy of Lucerne in the Eastern Continent, the Duchy of Lucerne is only a small country in the Eastern Continent, and the battle with the Imperial Army has spread to this country, and the front line of the fierce battle between the two sides has entered the territory of the Duchy of Lusen.

A few days ago, Ouyang Yu took the villagers to Cabo City with prisoners, and talked to the village chief Ouyang Yu learned that the army that was easily defeated was not the army of the Phoenix Empire, but the servant army of the vassal state of the Western Continent, the army of the client country was even worse than the army of the Phoenix Empire, it was not good to fight head-on, robbery and escape were the best, and it was those servant armies that harmed the people of the Eastern Continent the most.

The captives captured by Ouyang Yu earned her some merit points and silver coins, two merit points and five silver coins for a soldier, and at least five merit points and ten silver coins for an officer according to different military ranks, plus the villagers' gratitude to her Ouyang Yu earned more than one hundred and forty merit points and more than three hundred silver coins, which can be regarded as earning back a little military expenses.

Ouyang Yu claimed that his small army was an independent mercenary group, and when he handed over the captives, the coalition officer who received the captives told her that if she was willing to take on the war mission, she could go to the nearby city of Kapoki.

Because of the perennial war, the mercenary industry is extremely developed, protecting merchants, transporting goods, guarding villages, etc. are all the business scope of mercenaries, and some powerful mercenary groups or mercenaries who want money and life will also take on war missions issued by the Imperial Army or the coalition army to assist the regular army in some less important battles.

The officer of the coalition army wrote a letter of introduction to Ouyang Yu, if she is willing to lead her mercenary group to participate in the war mission, she can hand over this letter of introduction to the local garrison, Ouyang Yu took out the letter of introduction from his arms and looked at it, and thought to himself: "Merit points need a lot of battles to get, a small battle will get more than a hundred merit points, if you experience a bigger battle, wouldn't it be more?" Although she was very eager to get a lot of merit points, she was worried that she would be sent to be cannon fodder, and in a large-scale battle, her forty-odd people might be reimbursed with a heavy artillery, so she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"Well, let's go take a look, if it's really a dangerous mission, then I won't take it. ”

With this in mind, Ouyang Yu took her small army and rode two trucks transporting magic crystals to Kapoki City, which was not far away.

The Imperial Army and the Coalition Army have departments that specialize in dealing with mercenaries, Ouyang Yu took the letter of introduction to the department called the Logistics Support Department, the officer in charge of this part was a lieutenant colonel in his forties, looked at the letter of introduction and asked suspiciously: "It's really rare that a young and beautiful woman like you can be the leader of a mercenary group." ”

Ouyang Yu didn't answer the officer's question, and the lieutenant colonel just asked casually, he changed the letter of introduction to Ouyang Yu, and then took out a booklet and said: "There are tasks that the army needs your mercenaries to do, take a look, if you want to do it, tell me, and I will call someone to register you." ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

Ouyang Yu took the booklet, walked to the side, sat down, and looked at it carefully.

Protecting the transportation line to assist in transportation, clearing out the mercenary groups sent by the empire army, defending the village, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, etc., Ouyang Yu was dazzled, many tasks Ouyang Yu didn't like very much, either there was no battle or it took too long, among the many tasks, her favorite was to assist in defense.

The mission requires the mercenary group to assist in defending a less important line of defense, the attacking enemy is not large, and it is also a servant army with relatively poor combat effectiveness, the mission requires a week of defense, and the reward of ten silver coins per person per day will be paid on the same day, as long as the mercenary group that takes over the task can hold the position and survive, the other coalition forces will not care.

"Sir, I've taken this task. Ouyang Yu pointed to the assistant defense on the pamphlet and said to the lieutenant colonel of the coalition army.

"Okay, soldier, take her to register for the mission, and then call Lieutenant Pete to take the ...... What's the name of your mercenary group?"

"River Crab Mercenary Regiment. ”

"River crabs, strange names, Lieutenant Pete took the river crab mercenary group to Position Five. ”

There are all mercenary groups with any name, such as black bears, cheetahs, tigers and so on, and it is not surprising that a lieutenant colonel of the coalition army named River Crab came out.

Ouyang Yu followed the soldier to register the mission first, and then was brought to a young lieutenant.

"Hello ma'am, I'm Lieutenant Pete, the head of Position Five. ”

The young lieutenant blushed unconsciously after seeing Ouyang Yu, saying that the person in charge is actually used by the coalition forces to supervise the mercenary group's operations, don't think too much about the mercenary group's discipline, if there is no one to supervise it, it is a common thing to take money and not do things, and you must send someone to guard the side all the time.

"Hello Lieutenant, my name is Ouyang Yu, and I am the leader of the River Crab Mercenary Group. ”

Ouyang Yu shook hands with Lieutenant Pete, and then talked a little, and then Lieutenant Pete took Ouyang Yu and her reinforced platoon to the No. 5 position, the terrain of the No. 5 position is a flat land, and only two small hills can provide a little cover, when Ouyang Yu and Lieutenant Pete came here together, they found that there were already two mercenary groups that had also accepted the task to occupy the small hillside.

Ouyang Yu carefully observed the surrounding terrain, except for the two small hills, there was no other place to provide cover.

"Attention, everyone, start digging foxholes, and then connect them into trenches!"

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers under Ouyang Yu took out the almighty sapper shovel and began to dig on the ground, and it took several hours for three trenches about 100 meters long to appear on the position.
