Chapter 39: The First Call
At this meeting, Su Nian solved the doubts in his heart and understood why Ji Yun's family suddenly disappeared.
After eating breakfast and agreeing to go together on the next expedition, Ji Yun left.
When he got home, he found that Xiaorou hadn't woken up yet, so Su Nian put the steaming breakfast on the dining table and turned around and went into the study.
Sitting at his desk, he summoned the faction panel and chose to return.
With the blurred vision, the strong sense of weightlessness was fleeting, and the blur in front of him dissipated, and he had returned to the ruined temple.
The raging flames on the original conscription banner have dissipated.
He arrives at the Levy Banner and summons the Levy screen.
[Banner of Recruitment]:
Building function: Assist the consciousness of the Godhead to travel through the world, find the world scene that can be recruited, and establish a conscription connection node.
Building Class: Level 1
Recruit Range: Race level 1-3 (Raise the strength of the Recruit race by upgrading the building level)
Building Upgrade Cost: Requires a faction area of 300 square meters to unlock the condition.
Stable space has been established to connect the world: Gu Star (Honkai...... )
……
Realizing that he could already recruit soldiers, Su Nian did not hesitate and immediately turned on the conscription perspective.
After his gaze passed through the colorful tunnel, the collapsing Gu Star appeared in front of him.
The state of this planet is already precarious, and mysterious tentacles threaten to engulf this world into decay at any time.
Summons the Draft panel, which has two more options panels:
【Targeted Recruitment Mode:】
Function introduction: After the consciousness search, select a clear target for recruitment.
Included functions: Listening (reading the voice of the mind), object information retrieval, memory search (important parts are missing, the function cannot be used)
【Screening Recruitment Mode】:
Function description: Burn additional Shadow Embers, search and filter the selected world life.
Filter 1: Age range (the length of life after birth, the same life has completely different physical states and ability gaps in different age cycles)
Filter 2: Talent (the ability to be born and have before growing)
Filter 3: Physical condition (composed of physical fitness, physical integrity, mental state, etc.)
Filter 4: Lifespan (normal years of survival under non-lethal external interference, divided into development, growth, maturation, aging, and the time of survival before death)
Filter 5: Race (Classification of Species on Recruited Planets)
Filter 6: Potential (Missing important shadow parts, unable to learn)
……
In the second screening and recruitment mode, the first few screening conditions are easy to understand.
For example, if there is no age limit, babies or dying of old age may be recruited.
They simply don't have the ability to explore the decaying world.
Humans who have been recruited by the Purgatory God have apparently been conditionally screened as well, so only humans who have reached the age of 18 will be recruited and sent to the Decaying World.
The other three conditions, talent, physical fitness, longevity, and race, are also easy to understand.
But the sixth screening condition "potential" he really can't understand.
Important parts were missing, and he couldn't get more detailed information.
Choosing whether to recruit or recruit after screening conditions, Su Nian decisively chose the targeted recruitment mode.
The draft mode of the filter requires the consumption of additional Embers of Shadow.
If he is a Purgatory God, he will definitely choose the screening conditions without hesitation and start the conscription mode, after all, the Purgatory God family has a great cause, and he doesn't know how many races need to be recruited under his hands, if he chooses to recruit in a targeted manner, the efficiency is really too low.
But his situation obviously cannot be compared to that of the God of Purgatory.
The current Shadow City is still just a dilapidated temple, covering an area of only more than 70 square meters, which cannot accommodate a large number of conscripted warriors to move freely, so you can choose it yourself.
On top of that, he only had 15,000 Shadow Embers left on him.
This ember is spent, and it is still unknown whether Xiao Rou will be able to bring back the energy storage crystal next time, and there may not be such good luck in the future.
So he didn't want to waste the embers on unnecessary expenses.
Choosing the Targeted Recruit mode, his consciousness moved forward through the atmosphere covered with rubble and swooped towards the Gu Star Earth.
The scenery on the Gu Star gradually became clear from a blur.
was about to start the recruitment, and the words that Ji Yun said suddenly appeared in Su Nian's mind:
"Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, and slavery inevitably leads to resistance...... If I were a god of purgatory, enslavement would not be my means of controlling the conscription of warriors. “
……
Gu Star, Western Continent.
The sun hanging high in the sky has been obscured by darkness, and dense black lightning continues to appear, cutting through the sky and tearing through the already overburdened sky.
The sky was sprinkled with decaying ashes like snow, and the whole world was plunged into despair before it collapsed.
The bustling city shrouded in shadows was covered with a dead gray, the dried blood on the walls was covered with a fresh color, and the tombstones outside the city stretched for miles.
After the remaining dozen or so soldiers buried the remains of their comrades, the figure at the head took off the helmet covered with sharp claws and scratches, stuck the blade in his hand in front of the tombstone, and knelt down on one knee.
More than a dozen figures behind him also knelt down at this time.
The whimpering in the wind echoed in his ears like a cry, and the figure at the head shed tears.
After a long time, he wiped away his tears and got up to look back at his subordinates standing behind him.
His eyes swept over the faces with tears in his eyes, but his eyes were extremely resolute, and his heart couldn't bear it.
But before he could speak, a subordinate took the lead in speaking:
"General, the other cities are no longer in contact, we have no way out, let us continue to fight with you."
"Yes, General, we are willing to follow you and continue to fight to the death."
After listening to the firm answers of his subordinates, the figure headed by the figure known as the general looked at the black space vortex in the distant sky wrapped in black lightning, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
After the arrival of the black tentacles, the world ushered in the moment of collapse.
Sky, Earth, Sea...... As far as the eye could reach, everything withered, black spatial vortices appeared everywhere, and countless terrifying and hideous monsters emerged from them, launching an endless offensive against them.
To this day, he couldn't remember exactly how many times he had defended the city.
The war with monsters, the constant death of comrades-in-arms, and the erection of tombstones stretch outside the city.
As the collapse of the world intensifies, the monsters that come are getting stronger and more numerous, and they are no longer able to resist them.
The people in the city had already evacuated, but he knew that they would not escape the inevitable end.
The world beneath your feet is about to collapse, and there is no place for this world to live.
There is no hope in such a war.
He is unwilling to accept such an ending, and he is unwilling to welcome the end of the city and the people he guards.
Turning back at the shadow-shrouded city, the towering walls, the crumbling flags fluttering in the wind and the hunting sound.
At this moment, the unwillingness in my heart turned into a raging flame.
He reached out and pulled out the blood-colored blade stuck in the ground, and looked at the pitch-black spatial vortex again:
"As warriors, this may be our destination, and if we can't defend our homeland, then we will reach the end in battle...... Holder! ”
With the general's shout, the subordinate warrior slammed his weapon against the shield in his left hand, making a neat metal clash sound, and then turned to look at the pitch-black vortex from afar.
"This time, it's our offense."
