Chapter 20: My Imperial Regent's Big Brother and Forbidden Army Commander's Brother
War is a disaster for ordinary people, and no one expects war;
For the soldier, it is a deadly whetstone standing in the way, sharpening a true warrior from a group of disillusioned young soldiers who can make a great achievement alive.
After receiving a series of task forms such as sabotage, decapitation, exploration and puzzle solving, and annihilation specially prepared by the alchemy sergeant, the first few recruits of the Sword of Revelation to complete the surgical transformation stepped into the most brutal and shocking battlefield actual combat simulation.
Astarte was the main force of the Human Empire at the time of the Great Expedition, and the other mortals served as auxiliaries; And after the Great Expedition, the situation was reversed:
Billions of mortal astral troops have taken on the frontline of the main frontal force against the ghosts, snakes, and gods of the galaxy with their lives and courage, while Astarte exists as a force that implements efficient special operations such as decapitation, with a clear division of labor in squad operations;
But this does not mean that Astartes are not connected to the frontal battlefield, their loyalty and fearlessness to the emperor engraved in their genes will always be the strongest line of defense on the battlefield, and when the mortal army (the Astral Army is not all members of the Krieg and Kashezin) are completely demoralized by the enemies of various bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, the Astartes will still be on the battlefield until the last moment of their lives.
As a legion of 100,000 men, the Sword of Revelation will inevitably stand tall on the frontal battlefield to pour out the emperor's wrath on the enemies of mankind, and naturally adapt to the cruel war in the future; At the same time, this also made several recruits who had gained the body of a demigod realize that they were not invincible, and experienced various ways of dying -
Be overwhelmed by enemy numbers on a frontal battlefield, bombarded with heavy fire, trampled to death by Titans, or simply destroyed head-on by a variety of terrifying enemies of not an order of magnitude......
There are also airborne capsule landing that were torn apart by anti-aircraft fire along with the crew and cabin, or the gunboat plane was inserted by spacecraft parts during an emergency landing...... And so on and so on, and so on and so on, and so on.
Lu Mingfei also participated in the simulation, because the battles he experienced when he served in the Weepers Warband could only be regarded as "small fights"; The simulated battlefield environment is projected by the Emperor's will, and it is a terrifying war in which the machines of the multiple gods are dispatched.
In short, in the first few days after receiving the battlefield simulation, except for Lu Mingfei, the other four people all developed varying degrees of PTSD-
The severe pain before death responds to the body, the blood flows out of the body that has been reformed and strengthened, and the two hearts stop beating...... They truly felt the cheapness of life in the face of war; The most traumatized is the source childish girl, the first time Ruri Kazama used the "Dream Tapir" to enter Lu Mingfei's dream realm, and the residual psychological shadow of being blown off by a brain worm has resurfaced.
But the intrepid that was engraved into their genes when they underwent the modification surgery would soon cure all of this; This kind of battlefield simulation will not become an ordinary day, and its main purpose is to hone the recruit's will to fight rather than destroy - after all, on a battlefield of that level, the direction of war is no longer something that can be controlled by an individual.
All they can do is adapt to death, get used to death, and destroy as many human enemies as possible before they die.
In addition to fighting, the learning of knowledge is also essential, and in that world, knowledge is also a weapon - the types, weaknesses, and countermeasures of various bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods; There is also the general history of the human empire, the present form of government, the common language, and so on.
Interestingly, the human will of the Lord of Mankind once summoned Chu Zihang, Fingal, and Caesar to ask them about their impressions of the Human Empire;
It was useless to make a whole set of euphemistic language in front of the Lord of Mankind, so they all bluntly spoke their negative evaluations, almost saying things like "Hopeless, tired, destroy".
The boy on the throne remained calm after hearing these comments, after all, the current human empire had indeed become the last thing he wanted to see, and he could foresee how sad, angry, and painful his returning heir would be when he saw the current empire.
But there are exceptions.
Chu Zihang said that although it is not right, it seems to have been maliciously stuffed into all the worst forms of government
The empire of mankind has the slightest idea of fighting for, but this empire still has positive shining points that he recognizes: resistance to aggression, national independence, strong faith, and fearlessness...... Especially for him.
The boy nodded, thoughtful.
After the transformation of the surgical process was completely perfected and the power armor casting "Intelligence (Alchemy Energy)" assembly line matured, Haven survived the chaos of the Guardian Demon Male Half-breed, the action team of the Beowulf family, and the escort team of the Gattuso family......
More hybrids have been sent to the City of Wonders, ready to undergo transformational surgeries to become the new Astarte; Their different thoughts, such as anxiety about the unknown in their hearts, or intent to snoop on secrets, and harbor ghosts, are all fundamentally unified in the mental deep hypnosis stage at the beginning of the operation-
Fight for humanity.
This was followed by intellectual indoctrination, and the history after the Great Expedition of the Human Empire was simplified and diluted, and the image of the Human Empire was shaped in terms of the shining points mentioned by Chu Zihang, and the worst religious blind faith, bloated and corrupt government of the Empire was slightly downplayed......
Fighting for Humanity - Slogans and brainwashing cannot be relied upon to demand that the warriors of another universe dedicate their lives to the war that may never end, but the warriors themselves need to have a firm idea to fight for them.
Even with the power of faith.
As a fragment of the will of humanity, the reflection after the Great Rebellion, the boy knows this very well.
As a result, there were unqualified hybrids who were screened out in terms of spirituality, but fortunately, the number was not very large, and in the end, more than two hundred hybrids passed the will test of the Lord of Humanity and entered the stage of undergoing transformation surgery.
However, Lu Mingfei was a little worried that legionnaires who did not understand the "rules" of the empire might offend the Inquisition and be targeted in the future, just like weepers who were ostracized everywhere;
But the boy just said to him calmly:
"This kind of thing, you can solve it with your commander-in-chief brother and the regent brother in the future."
Lu Mingfei was a little confused - the commander's brother...... Is that the Praetorian Commander Valoris? But the warrior didn't look at me very closely...... And who is the big brother regent?
……
After the grand narrative and expectation of fighting for humanity in another universe, Lu Mingfei's mind returned to his hometown.
He had to deal with the things on this planet first—the Dragon King behind the scenes, the unawakened Black King, and the remnant soul of the Demon Lord of All Transformations, whose whereabouts are still unknown.
In the realm of "different clocks", Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang have a combined surgical transformation time of nearly 20 years, which is only less than half a month of normal time in the outside world; So when Chu Tianjiao saw Chu Zihang again after a few days, he was already frightened and shocked to find that he already needed to look up at his son;
Just when he wanted to find Lu Mingfei's theory, he saw Lu Mingfei, who was as tall as a floor...... He swallowed the words he wanted to say into his stomach.
The worst thing is that his son also sent him an invitation to recruit soldiers-
"Dad, join the Legion of the Sword of Revelation, and accept the transformation like me, and fight alongside Astarte; Together, we will travel to another universe to pour out the Emperor's wrath on the enemies of humanity and fight for humanity."
"You...... You can't still think about going back and disturbing your mother, can you?" Chu Zihang's voice was a little quieter when he said this.
The corners of Chu Tianjiao's mouth twitched, and he said angrily:
"Do you remember your mother? It's no wonder you don't scare her to death when you go back like this! And what other universe are you going...... So what should your mom do? She's just your son!"
Chu Zihang was silent for a long time before he said silently, "I'll find a way."
Lu Mingfei didn't interfere in his brother's family affairs - he also had his "family affairs" to deal with.
When Lu Mingfei softly bent down and walked into the door of the ward of the medical department of the college, a haggard Giovanni was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed with a sluggish expression - Lu Lincheng, who was supposed to lie on the bed to recuperate, was gone.
Giovanni regained a glimmer of brilliance in his dull eyes when he saw Lu Mingfei—but then it was because of Lu Mingfei's body
The shock and dazedness of the great change deserved disappeared.
But when Lu Mingfei half-knelt on the ground and held her hand with his thick hand, this heroic woman who dared to do it against the world for her son finally couldn't help but cry.
Maybe he didn't want to face the fact that he was tortured by demons, or maybe he didn't have the face to face Giovanni and Lu Mingfei, his titular father chose to end his life early not long after he woke up from treatment.
After the cause he dedicated to was completely shattered, the son who regarded himself as his own faced the cruel truth behind the scenes, the spiritual attack from the demons, and the people he loved chose to end his life after being humiliated by the demons...... The successive blows had brought Giovanni to the brink of collapse.
If even her son has to leave her, then this world may really have no meaning for her.
Lu Mingfei silently comforted his mother, he glanced at the white paper on the bedside table, there were only two simple lines written on it, which should have been left by Lu Lincheng:
"I'm sorry, Mingfei. I don't deserve to be your dad. Take care of your mother."
Lu Mingfei didn't want to sigh or reprimand anything, he really had to take care of his sad and crying mother now.
For this reason, he stopped thinking about the Legion and the actual combat simulation for the next few days, and stayed by Giovanni's side until she recovered from the mental trauma of the past.
……
"First of all, I hope I haven't disturbed the warm time of your reunion with your family; Secondly, it is only when I get up close and personal that I can feel the oppression you bring."
In the Valhalla conference room, Ange looked up at Lu Mingfei and couldn't help but let out a sigh of "wow".
"We don't have to be so polite to each other, Headmaster, just talk about something directly," Lu Mingfei said calmly, "In addition, there is no age limit for our legion's transformation surgery, as long as the Headmaster is willing, you can regain your youth at any time and become stronger."
「…… Let's get down to business first," Ange waved his hand, "An anomaly has been found in Japan that seems to be a dragon awakening. I think you and your dragon slayer army should be interested in this."
