Dusk. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a wilderness in the southwest of Dak Province in the south of the Siss.
Half a day earlier, a long battle had taken place between Shearer's army and the Sith rebels in a wilderness in front of the Andes, two hundred miles southwest of the city of Gary, the capital of Dak Province. After the battle, the main forces of the rebel army managed to flee into the mountains, and Shearer's army did not pursue.
The moon hung in the western sky, and the cold light sprinkled over the wilderness.
A soldier who was supposed to be sleeping on the battlefield slowly got up from the ground, his eyes blank and his expression painful. His facial muscles writhed rapidly, as if two forces were engaged in a final struggle and wrestling. In his chest, the muscles that were originally strong and powerful had festered, revealing the white bones of Sensen, but he could no longer feel the pain of the mission. With a slight movement, pieces of flesh and pus and blood fell off the soldiers' legs and hands, and the stench spread with the wind. The whole person looked like a rotting and swollen corpse crawling out of a grave.
Looking down at his body, the soldier looked up in confusion and looked at the moon in the western sky. He didn't seem to understand why he, who had already died in battle, suddenly came back to life.
The moment the moonlight shone into the soldier's eyes, a mutation appeared. The original painful expression on the soldier's face was replaced by hideousness, and a strange red light flashed in his originally empty and confused eyes.
The soldier raised his hands in the air, let out a beastly howl, and then wandered around the wilderness. His nose sniffed like a hound, and he slowly walked towards the Andes, as if attracted by a certain smell. Around him, the same scene played out over and over again, as thousands of soldiers returning from hell got back on their feet in the wilderness and became lifeless walking corpses. Slowly moving towards the Andes, every now and then there was a terrifying cry.
"When the devil comes, is it possible that the Sith Kingdom will be destroyed like this?"
General Kant stood on the top of the hill and looked at the scene in the distance, and his heart swelled with endless despair and sadness. He had encountered the same situation many times these days, so that with an army of nearly 100,000 men, he had lost even the courage to fight the enemy.
Kant was originally the commander of the first legion, the most elite of the Sith Kingdom. However, after Shearer took power, because he refused to cooperate with Shearer, he was transferred to Dak Province as the commander of the Third Army. Although the post was retained, the Third Legion, in which he served, was transferred by Shearer many times, and when he received it, the number was less than 100,000.
Kant was a good military man, but not a successful politician. Although he sensed that the Sith was facing a great crisis, he could not change the political situation. So you can only choose to persevere and endure, and secretly accumulate strength. In his hands, the Third Legion went from a second-rate army in the kingdom to an elite army with considerable combat effectiveness. Kant had always believed that as long as he had enough power in his hands, Shiller would not dare to act rashly. However, he didn't expect that when Shearer really started to move, he didn't have the slightest strength to resist. The terrifying creature that people knew was so terrifying that everyone was enveloped in great fear. And after witnessing the living soldiers being turned into lifeless monsters, everyone just wants to escape as far as possible.
"Five thousand soldiers are gone, and the enemy has thousands of bloodthirsty killing machines, how can this battle be fought?" General Kant sighed helplessly.
"Father, you can't be discouraged, the evil power in Shearer's hands will not only ruin the Sith. It's enough to ruin the entire continent, and we have to hold on and let the rest of the world know what really happened in the Sith," said a young officer at Kant's side, excitedly.
"Yes, once the enemy's bestiality is exposed, it will definitely become the public enemy of all races and countries on the continent, because they are basically aiming to destroy lives. But the point is, we couldn't get the news out at all, and Shearer not only blocked the news, but also left no one alive in every battle. I once sent a force of 10,000 men in the hope of crossing the border to Asman and spreading the word. The result was the destruction of the entire army. Kant smiled wryly.
"Could it be that the border troops are also completely controlled by him?"
"Where are the border guards the opponents of my army, this unit was attacked by a large number of walking corpses while crossing a small town on the border, and only a thousand people escaped. And many of the people who escaped were poisoned, and eventually became monsters like them, and in the end, few survived. ”
"Why are there so many walking corpses all of a sudden?"
"In every unit of the border guards there are Shearer's men who have in their hands the kind of poisonous blood that turns people into demons. After I sent troops, they will be residents of a small town. All turned into monsters. The Sith has become a terrible hell on earth."
Kant remembered that the returning soldiers reported to him
That deep fear. Once again, he fell into despair.
"Father, cheer up, the more we are in this situation, the more we have to persevere. Didn't Big Brother Iverson once come with the news that he had settled down in the Fire Cloud Empire, and that there was still hope for the Sith royal family," the young man patiently persuaded.
"Son, this kind of power is not something we can deal with. My father wasn't afraid of death, he just had a feeling of helplessness. Facing the enemy but being powerless to resist is the greatest pain of a soldier. Rest assured, though, I'll do my best to deal with Shearer's demon for a few more days, no matter what. The more time passes, the more likely it is that the news will get out. Kant said softly. But there was still a deep fear in his heart: what country on this continent could resist the attacks of these demons?
Kant then issued an order to his army, and began a battle in the Andes with the feared walking corpse. Later in battle, he used a small number of mages, traps, and archers as his main force to destroy the walking corpses, and avoided contact with them as much as possible. All the soldiers who were wounded by the walking corpse were cleanly cut off by him.
"If one day I am wounded, you must also cut off my head, I would rather die than be a monster," Kant's words won the understanding and support of the officers and soldiers.
Thousands of years later, in the Andes, humanity faced out its first confrontation with evil religions.
"Boss, can I take a small army back to the Sith to find out what's going on?" Iverson looked at Liuyun and finally came up with his thoughts. Iverson was always worried when he learned of the war in the Sith, but he still silently insisted on doing the job he had to explain.
"You can't go, if you want to go, let me go. Iverson didn't expect that Anthony would be the first to stand up against him.
"Anthony is right, you can't go. But what I want to say is that none of you can go to the meeting of you today, to arrange for me to go to Asman, the training of the Black Hawk Legion, the reconstruction of the city of Priseli, and some related matters related to the construction of the military academy, not to discuss the Sith issue. Liuyun said calmly.
Listening to Liuyun's words, Iverson and Anthony both quieted down. Worried about their motherland, they all remembered that they were still a soldier of the Black Eagle Legion at this time, and unconsciously lowered their heads.
"I can understand that both of you are worried about your country and your loved ones at home. But the situation inside the Sith is now quite complicated, and we must not risk our actions. Iverson, your identity is quite sensitive right now, and in a sense, you're even the hope of the future Sith. Don't be blinded by the clouds in front of you, take a long-term view," Liuyun continued.
"Excuse me, boss, I'll do my thing. Iverson said.
"Well, treat Priseli City as a country, let's start training yourself now" Liuyun smiled, "Anthony, you should also focus more on the training of cavalry divisions, I hope you will become a generation of famous generals who can sweep the continent with 100,000 soldiers."
Liuyun's meaningful words shocked both Iverson and Anthony.
"Chief, the first phase of the military command academy has basically ended, and it can barely meet the needs of the trainees in their initial study, training, and life. The first batch of students is almost here, why don't you wait for the academy to start before leaving?" Alexander asked.
"Time is running out and I have to get to La Mer in Azman as soon as possible. The title of Dean of the Academy is up to you for the time being. This military command academy is the first academy on the mainland to systematically study and study warfare, and it is also the cradle of training young officers.
Liuyun originally planned to take the position of dean himself, but in the end decided to give the position to Alexander, who was very knowledgeable about warfare. Only later did he realize how wise this decision was. The students' minds are easily influenced by their own teachers, and Dean Alexander's influence on the students of the Imperial Command Academy is undoubtedly quite profound.
"Dean, I'm usually an old man, I'm too young, right?" Alexander laughed.
"After I left, the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade, except for the fire squadron, withdrew to the city of Priseli and cooperated with the two division commanders Mogo and Hanno to strengthen the city's defense. Ah Xu led the fire squadron to stay in Daxing Mountain and cooperate with Xiaoka for special training. Liuyun continued.
For a long time, the Fire Squadron was known as the most useless squadron in the Black Hawks, and it was usually tasked with ordinary combat missions. No one thought that when they finished their special training this time and reappeared, they would become the hardest trump card in Liuyun's hands.
