Chapter 66: The Ruins of City No. 014
A good night's sleep.
The next day, to the chirping of birds, the recruits assembled.
Tatsuno, Genkan and the others stood on a high platform, welcoming them to become members of the Great Xia Divine Guard and giving them guns.
After that, the current more than 1,100 warriors of the Great Xia Divine Guard Army were all lined up to receive the review and the latest orders.
The soldiers are wearing uniform protective clothing, steel helmets, armed with standard rifles, shoulder-mounted communicators, and grenades tied to their waists, and are fully armed!
Their eyes are resolute, their waists are straight, and the queue is perfect, and they are all in the same line when they look horizontally, vertically, and obliquely.
This is a powerful army whose combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of any Divine Army!
Today is October 11th, eight days before the scheduled march to the ruins of City 014.
"Comrades, at present, the waterfall settlement is basically safe, and there is no threat within a radius of 50 kilometers." "However, I think you have all noticed that the waterfall settlement has more than 10,000 residents, which is almost the limit. So we have to go outside! ”
The entrance paused, and turned to look southwest.
"And where are we going?"
"The opinion of our commander is to the southwest!"
"There are the ruins of City 014, the terrain is flat and open, the water is abundant, and it is also convenient for cultivating farmland and catching prey, and of course, most importantly." The entrance took a deep breath, met more than a thousand pairs of eyes, and said, "There are the ruins of our Great Xia Gods there!" ”
The audience was silent!
Everyone's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The warriors were shocked, then rejoiced!
Why did they join the Great Xia Divine Guard?
Because of the belief in the gods of Great Xia!
It is believed that they can find the gods of Great Xia, awaken the spirits, exorcise the demons and beasts, and take back their homeland.
But for so long, they haven't had any news of an exact deity, except for the statue of Erlang God that their ancestors said.
Now, the entrance finally told them that they were able to find the ruins of the Great Xia gods.
Why aren't they excited!?
"Comrades, digging down the ruins of City 014 and finding the traces of the Great Xia Gods is the first step to reviving the Great Xia Gods!" Tatsuno stood up and said, "But it's not easy. There are groups of demon beasts and demons in the ruins of City 014, and there is no shortage of fourth- and fifth-order existences, and this battle is destined to be difficult. A lot of you may die. ”
Tatsuno stopped, he had never wanted to say too much agitation, he wanted to tell the warriors the cruelest truth.
Because, people who know the cruelty, but still have the courage to face it, will not panic when they really face it.
He swept the eyes of every warrior.
There is not only enthusiasm and fearlessness in this, but also suspicion and fear.
But what made Tatsuno awe-inspiring was that in just half a minute, all the doubts, fears, and hesitations all subsided, and in their place, they were unified and firm.
Some of the teenage recruits' eyes were slightly moist, wondering if they had thought that they might die while their parents were still there.
However, these recruits with moist eyes were the ones who stood the most straight, and some of them swallowed their saliva, their heads held high, and their eyebrows became more fierce and tough.
"Okay," Tatsuno exhaled, facing all the warriors, and raised his hand in salute.
On the high platform, all the commanders saluted.
Under the stage, the sound of neat standing is accompanied by the sound of collision when raising hands.
Sonor!
More than a thousand arms were raised in unison, saluting.
Then, there was a loud shout in the sky.
"Always be ready! For the revival of Great Xia, dedicate your life! ”
......
Two days later, the reconnaissance detachment returned.
"The ruins of City 014 have basically been explored, and it has been confirmed that there are no other human forces on the periphery."
"The interior is mainly entrenched by demons, and there are fewer demon beasts."
"The entrenched demons are divided into three large groups, namely the Bat Wing Demon, the Bloodthirsty Demon, and the Bone Eater Swarm."
"The leaders of these three major races are all fourth-order, and the estimated total number of third-order is around a hundred. The second order and the first order are in the tens of thousands. ”
"As a rule of thumb, if you kill their leader, the clan will collapse on its own without command."
In the hall, Tatsuno and the others discussed tactics.
"Then, our mission is to assault the demon's lair, kill the leader, and then occupy the building, and wait for the demon horde to collapse."
"Topographically, the ruins of City 014 are divided in two by a tributary of a large river, and our main attack is in the north, where there are groups of batwing demons and bloodthirsty demons, while in the south are the bone-eating insect swarms."
"Therefore, with a strength of more than 1,000 people, we will transfer 200 people, that is, the direct guard team to guard the waterfall stronghold, led by the entrance."
"The remaining 900 people, one battalion, two battalions and three battalions, led by me, Qingzhi, and Huo'er respectively, the first battalion is the main attack battalion of the batwing demon, the third battalion is the main attack battalion of the bloodthirsty demon, and the second battalion is the reserve......
Five days later.
After the whole army has completed the training, the tasks have been assigned to the squad, and the post adjustment has been made to ensure that each squad has at least one veteran with it.
On the morning of the same day, Tatsuno bid farewell to the entrance and led the team to the ruins of City 014.
City Ruins No. 014.
According to the records, the ruins of City 014 were destroyed by the attack of a seventh-order demon, and at that time, the two field divisions guarding the city were all sacrificed to cover the evacuation of the city's civilians.
However, the seventh-order demon was already at the imperial level, far from being able to resist by manpower, and the more than 10 million residents of City 014 had only evacuated more than 300,000, and all the others died in this catastrophe.
Time has passed, and a hundred years have passed.
Collapsed buildings in cities are overgrown with plants, scrapped cars are rusted, and the remains of millions of residents are reduced to ashes......
At this time, in the city of No. 014, there are only the TV signal tower that has not collapsed and a stone tablet with two missing words engraved with "Hua XX Technical University" to commemorate the prosperity of the past.
Suddenly, a strange cry was heard, followed by the vibration of wings and the terrible screams of a woman.
A batwing demon flew past with a woman in its arms.
The woman's back was pierced by the claws of the batwing demon, which were so deeply embedded in the flesh that she could not fall off, but the resulting pain caused the woman to scream.
With each struggle, more blood gushed out, and the pain made her nearly faint.
The Batwing Demon seemed to enjoy the cry, and deliberately circled for a while before returning to its lair, waiting until the woman was completely unconscious before flying back.
It was a circular stadium, and at this time it was the place where the Batwing Demon was entrenched.
In the middle of the stadium, hundreds of humans snuggled, looking in horror.
Bang!
The woman was thrown in, causing an exclamation.
Most of these hundreds of human beings were from Daxia, and they surrounded her, checked the woman's injuries, and hurriedly stopped the bleeding if they knew some medicine.
And on the periphery, countless batwing demons let out strange screams and waved their slender arms.
Among the bat-wing demons, a huge, blood-red demon with curved horns on its head looked at the captive humans with blood-colored eyes, and slowly raised his hand and pointed at the youngest seven-year-old girl in the crowd.
