"I've seen this happen many times. The first time I went to class, my performance was worse than yours. I even vomited and was laughed at for a long time because of it," the veteran said.
Qianye could feel the veteran's concern and kindness, and smiled weakly.
The veteran pointed to the fire and said seriously: "You can't blame anyone. Everyone died because of the vampires. Do you know, I once shot my brother's heart with my own hands because he was bitten by a vampire?" ! From that day on, I swore that I would never retire before killing all the damn black-blooded bastards in the world! Even if I die of old age, I will die on the battlefield!"
There was silence on the troop carrier. The rookies were shocked, while many veterans were reminded of many old memories. Everyone can tell some stories related to blood slaves.
The burning city gradually disappeared on the horizon, but the fire remained in Qianye's heart.
After returning to the base, Qianye got bad news and good news.
The bad news is that Lin Xitang just passed through Qinlu two days ago and transferred to the imperial capital to report on his duties. When his adjutant contacted the Red Scorpion headquarters, Qianye was already on the battlefield.
The good news is that Qianye received his first letter from home, if a letter from Wei Potian can be considered a letter from home. The envelope is made of snow-white Dowling paper, and the background pattern is actually pressed with dark gold filaments. If you look closely, you can tell that it is the pattern of a headless and winged angel.
When Nan Batian saw it, he let out a sigh from his nose, "That Birdman's stuff is just so flashy."
Qianye poured out an empty silver cartridge case from the envelope, and his expression immediately became a little subtle.
After opening the letter, I realized that this thing was made by Wei Potian himself. Or to be more precise, the cartridge case was still an industrialized product, and the array compressed with the Force inside was the first work he had successfully etched with his own hands, and he immediately showed it off.
Wei Potian did not waste his days as a broken-winged angel. He broke through to the third-level warrior. And because of his family's secret skills, he quickly mastered the force etching ability and was able to make physical force bombs with his own hands. In the letter, Wei Potian did not forget to issue a challenge, but he was also worried about how to pay off the debt first, or three times!
Qianye crumpled the letter paper and envelope into a ball, threw it into the wastebasket, and threw the bullet casing high. The silver light traced an inverted U-shaped trajectory in the air, and then fell back into his palm.
The military competition is still half a year away.
In the next few months, Qianye applied for and traveled to various battlefields. He rose like a comet, and his battlefield style was known for his extreme calmness and ruthless killing.
The number of dark races who died at the hands of Qianye increased rapidly, and his performance soared, finally reaching the top, overwhelming countless shining geniuses among the Red Scorpion rookies , as well as many children of aristocratic families!
Qianye seems to be born to be a warrior and a killer. He's great in group fights, but becomes even more dangerous on his own. In any environment, Qianye can find places to take advantage of, thus continuously amplifying his advantages in battle.
As Qianye killed a vampire warrior who was equivalent to a fourth-level warrior by himself, the part of his fighting instinct that was biased towards the killer seemed to have awakened. From then on, the casualty rate of the dark race's mid-level warriors began to soar in the places where Qianye haunted.
Nan Batian was both happy and worried about Qianye's changes. He had to force Qianye to reduce the number of missions by issuing orders. Because Qianye is not yet eighteen years old, he still has a greater future. At this stage, Nan Batian believes that Qianye needs more time to cultivate the force, and that is the right path to become the strongest.
Qianye naturally obeyed the orders of Battalion Commander Tiger Scorpion unconditionally.
In this way, Qianye's reputation gradually spread among this new class of rookies, and it is said that it has attracted the attention of several deputy army commanders.
In the eyes of many people, Qianye is a rising star who will surely shine brilliantly in the imperial military circles in the future. His name has been put on the watch list of some wealthy nobles, and some families have even discussed whether to include him in the recruitment scope.
A glorious avenue is spreading out in front of Qianye!
The only regret in Qianye's heart is that he has not been able to meet Lin Xitang until now. During the various missions, Qianye gradually became familiar with the military, which originally only existed in the information, and gradually realized the weight behind the title "Lin Shuai".
Lin Xitang's background was not outstanding. The Lin family had been in the military for generations, but most of them were middle and lower-level officers. By his father's generation, he was just a hereditary viscount. Under the title system of the imperial prince and uncle, he had only touched the edge of the upper class society.
Such a family only provided Lin Xitang with a good starting platform. Once you get started, you have to rely on yourself for everything.
Lin Xitang's nearly thirty-year military career has seen him fight hundreds of battles, large and small, and he has rarely suffered a defeat in his life. Even when facing the most powerful dark race, they were defeated so much that even the imperial military could not find fault.
However, Lin Xitang is not only talented in military affairs, he is also more talented in handling local government affairs. At the same time, because of his practice of Dayan Tianji Jue, he has also discovered countless talents for the empire. All in all, Lin Xitang can almost be regarded as an all- .
In this way, due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to marshal when he was just in his early 40s, becoming the youngest among the top ten marshals of the empire. Together with Zhang Boqian of the same age, he was known as the two most eminent men in the empire!
Zhang Boqian is another type of person. He and Lin Xitang are at two extremes in almost every aspect. Zhang Boqian came from a real wealthy family. His ancestors followed the founding emperor to establish the country, and he was once awarded the title of King Qingyang.
Now, the Zhang family is firmly ranked first among the four great families in the empire. There are four branches of the Zhang family in Qingyang, and the head of each branch is a hereditary prince. A clan's success in martial arts and great glory is only under the imperial family.
Zhang Boqian was an unparalleled genius in military campaigns. In this regard, even Lin Xitang surpassed him. At the same time, Zhang Boqian himself is also one of the few masters in the empire, with unparalleled martial arts skills. This man's style is bloodthirsty and ruthless, which is incompatible with his name. The amount of blood on his hands makes even the dark race tremble!
However, Zhang Boqian was in a mess in terms of political affairs. He hated trouble the most, and the way to solve trouble was to kill. One thing he often said was: If we kill all the troublesome people, wouldn't there be no more trouble?
Although he knew Lin Xitang's prominent identity, the clearest impression in Qianye's heart was still that warm and solid hand.
However, Lin Xitang has been restrained in Western Xinjiang and unable to move. It is said that the rebels' actions this time are not small. He personally went to take charge, but he has been struggling to advance and retreat.
In recent days, I heard that several generals in the Imperial Military Department were preparing to replace Lin Xitang. Lin Xitang has been summoned to the imperial capital twice to report on his duties. Although he quickly recovered, no one knows what will happen next time.
The last news Qianye heard was that the northwest general Zhao Weihuang had begun mobilizing his famous Wolf Smoke Legion in the Western Continent and was ready to go to the rebel provinces at any time.
Qianye was vaguely worried about Lin Xitang. He was also a little curious about what those rebels were like, and they were able to fight against the empire for hundreds of years.
After he joined the Red Scorpion, he deeply felt what a behemoth the empire was! With the strength of the Red Scorpion Legion, it would be difficult to even squeeze into the top three. What a level the military strength of the entire empire must have reached!
Perhaps the God of Destiny has been paying attention to Qianye. Just after he became curious, a small task fell on Qianye.
This is indeed a small task. Red Scorpion only dispatched five Black Scorpion-level veterans, plus a rookie Qianye. Even the local army was not recruited to cooperate. Since it was not a cross-continental mission, it was the bald captain who was in charge of this inland flight.
Before the airship set off, the bald captain checked the mission content with the temporary captain in charge of the operation. The bald captain's fat face immediately sank and he said coldly: "Those gentlemen would do this kind of thing! Rebels? Who? Don't know what's going on?"
The temporary captain shrugged and said, "What can we do? Since the opponent's background is deep enough to allow us to dispatch, there is no room for change in this matter. Anyway, it is just a run, so go and get back!"
The bald captain suddenly raised his head and glanced at Qianye, muttering: "Let him go and see! Rookies will grow up one day and need to see clearly what the reality is behind the glamour."
Qianye was a little confused by the conversation between them, and couldn't help but become more curious about the content of this mission. This is probably not a simple task.
The airship rose into the sky, still flying like a wild horse. But of course Qianye won't be made to vomit this time. Like other veterans, he sat peacefully in his seat and rested his mind, and later even made a slight sound of deep sleep.
It is common sense that every Red Scorpion warrior understands to recuperate his energy as much as possible before fighting.
The flight lasted for three days, and finally arrived at the mission location at night.
This is a province on the edge of the Qin Continent, and its location is quite remote. However, there are several territories owned by powerful families in this province. In fact, less than half of the land is directly under the management of the empire. Provincial politics are incredibly complex.
There is a small town in the mountains. Because it is located next to a gem mine, most of the people in the town are miners. The mission this time was near this small town. It was said that a rebel army attacked here, causing heavy casualties.
This rebel army was very cunning. They hid in the remote mountains and captured the fiancée of a local viscount lord. The lord was helpless against the rebels, so he asked the empire to dispatch a small team of the Red Scorpion Legion to solve the problem.
The airship flew above the town, slowly lowered its altitude, and then hovered thirty meters above the ground. The veterans opened the hatch and jumped directly, falling dozens of meters before landing steadily.
Qianye grabbed a cable and flew down. When he was ten meters away from the ground, he pulled the cable hard to stop his fall, and then let go and landed on the ground.
Thousands of lords' private troops have been stationed in the town. An officer galloped out on horseback. He was startled when he saw the Red Scorpion warriors landing on the ground: "That's all?"
The captain frowned and said coldly: "No matter how much waste there is, it's still waste!"
The officer was very young, in his early twenties, and looked arrogant.
Captain Red Scorpion's words immediately made him furious, and he shouted: "Who do you think is a waste? Do you know who I am? A big-headed soldier, how dare you fucking scream here!"
As he spoke, the officer swung his riding crop and whipped it towards the captain's head!
Qianye calmly took off his gunpowder automatic rifle and opened the safety bolt. He did not pay attention to this officer, but focused on the noble private soldiers.
Including Baldhead, only seven people from Red Scorpion came this time. If there was a conflict with thousands of local private soldiers, it would be quite troublesome to kill them all.
