Since both parties knew each other, Laurent did not stay any longer. He said hello to Shen Yun and the other three and left in a hurry. However, before leaving, he repeatedly warned Aruba not to deliberately let go because of past kindness. , place the three people in the rear.
Shen Yun understood this very well. Reptanton said that the Guards would go out to perform a mission in the future. Shen Yun could tell from his expression at that time that the difficulty of this mission would definitely not be low. So if Aruba If you deliberately let yourself and others stay in a safe place out of gratitude and unable to get sufficient training, it would definitely not be a good thing for the three people who are about to embark on the mission, and it may even harm them.
"Benefactor, look at this..." Aruba rubbed his big hands with an awkward expression on his face. Although he had agreed readily just now, he still felt uncomfortable being asked to command Shen Yun, the three elite students from Blue Water Academy. It was awkward for a while, not to mention that there was also Shen Yun as a "benefactor" among them.
Seeing Aruba's face full of embarrassment, Shen Yun interrupted him with a wave of his hand, then straightened his body, made a fist with his right hand and held it against his chest, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Chen Yunqian, a member of the Imperial Marshal's Guards" Come and report!" Sean and Cat Girl on the side saluted in the same way, but Aruba was even more at a loss.
Slowly putting down his hand, Shen Yun smiled and said: "Aruba, you have been a soldier for so long, don't you still understand the rules in the military camp? Since the marshal's order is like this, then in these three days, we are you My new recruits, do whatever you want, if you give it back to your mother-in-law, I will look down on you!"
Aruba was shocked and suddenly laughed: "Benefactor...oh no, you are right! Then Aruba, you are welcome. Our task today is to dig and build fortifications here. You guys come to help first. But There is news that the black bastard on the opposite side seems to be moving, so it may turn into a small-scale battle at any time, so you must be prepared for this."
"That's right!" Shen Yun chuckled, jumped down from the trench first, picked up the shovel that Aruba had just thrown away, and started digging hard. Sean and Cat Girl took the shovels handed over by other soldiers and followed suit. After jumping down, although the three of them did not know any digging and construction skills, they dug vigorously with their superior strength and actually completed a large section of the project in a very short period of time.
Seeing the hard work of the three people, the soldiers who were originally affiliated with the Aruba team were not to be outdone and shouted to start working again. There was a lively scene in the small trench.
In the next three days, Shen Yun and the others fully experienced the life that a normal recruit should have. In addition to ordinary tasks such as digging fortifications and daily vigilance, Shen Yun and the others finally went to the battlefield and personally participated in the war. Although it was only a small-scale battle involving hundreds of people. The opponents were only some dark creatures that were only level 3 or 4, but through these few battles, Shen Yun and others did have a deeper understanding of the dark creatures.
On the night of Shen Yun's third day as a "recruit", the Blue Water Legion and the Dark Creatures fought a battle involving more than 10,000 people. It was in that battle that Shen Yun finally saw with his own eyes the power of group operations.
On Shen Yun's front line, hundreds of mid-level mages were gathered together to release designated magic. Earth walls comparable to city walls rose from the ground, and bright firelight flickered among the dark creatures! And The mages in the dark creature camp are also not to be outdone. The black mist spreads in the sky, entangled and strangled by the magic of the blue water mage. Here, the mages do not need individuality, all they want is collaboration and unity.
The battle didn't last long. It was almost just a slight contact. The dark creatures quickly retreated. Not long after the battle ended, several rays of light appeared intermittently on the battlefield. Those who died in this battle The bodies of the warriors are being purified. As for the other soldiers who died in battle, they are basically ordinary people. They will turn into elements and dissipate the moment they die. They will not even have time to let their comrades roar in grief.
Due to the protection of Shen Yun and the others, the Aruba team suffered almost no casualties in that battle. However, including Aruba, there was no joy on the faces of the soldiers. As warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles, they They truly understand that relying on others on the battlefield may solve a crisis once, but they cannot survive for a long time. If they want to truly stand on this land until the end, the only thing they can rely on is their own sword.
When Shen Yun, Sean, and Viera stood in the commander's tent again, Reptanton nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I finally feel like a frontline warrior. Although it stands to reason that I should let you get used to it for a while, But now the situation is more urgent and I really can’t wait..."
Waving to the three people to come forward, Reptanton pointed to the map in his hand and said: "About twenty days ago, the Seventh Reconnaissance Team sent a piece of information. It is said that one of their team members went too deep and lost his way. It was accidentally discovered later. It was said to be here..." Reptanton stretched out his hand and pointed diagonally behind the dark biological front: "The scout said that he found a strange building complex here, and from I saw a lot of 'skinny monkeys' among them, most of them were being supported by people."
"Marshal means..." Shen Yun frowned and was suddenly startled.
"Not bad! I suspect...this is the frontier base for manufacturing 'Skinny Monkeys'!" Reptanton knocked on the table hard. After communicating with Shen Yun, he had officially named this new species of dark creature " "Skinny Monkey", and also maintained the same view as Shen Yun on whether they grew naturally or were created through catalysis.
"But, this, location..." The matter was so important that Sean couldn't help but interject.
Judging from the map, Reptanton's location is in a mountain forest, and the route directly ahead has been completely obscured by dark creatures. If you want to get there from the Blue Water main formation, you will have to go around a long way. a circle.
Reptanton obviously knew something about Sean's character. At this time, he didn't care when he heard his unclear worries. He just explained: "The detour is for sure. The day after I got the news, I will send additional troops." Several waves of scouts went out and found a relatively safe road." Reptanton drew his finger on the map, drawing a huge arc from the blue dot representing the formation and finally settling on the red dot representing the target. Click on click.
Looking at the huge arc that was almost four or five times longer than the straight line, Shen Yun couldn't help but grin. The three of them were silent for a while, and Shen Yun suddenly said: "Marshal, remember you said last time that you would wait for the Imperial City The news, why suddenly..."
"That was indeed the case. Until two days ago, I was still hesitating whether to send you..." Reptanton sighed, with some inexplicable worry on his face: "Although the official order has not been issued yet, I We have received news from the Imperial Capital. It is said that there has been news in Blue Water that our front line has been defeated and that dark creatures are about to enter the country in large numbers. Although the source of the news has not yet been found out, the Imperial Capital requires us to retake the previously evacuated areas as soon as possible. area to avoid greater panic among the people."
"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The main reason that prompted me to make this decision is that the military did not give any advice on the 'Skinny Monkey' this time, which means that we have to rely on ourselves to complete it. Anyway, it is something we must face. , if that is indeed where the Slender Monkeys are produced, then let us try to solve them together! As long as these guys are killed, my army will be confident to take back the previous area!"
"Then please give the order, Marshal!" Shen Yun smiled slightly. Sean and Vierla on the side also nodded lightly.
"Okay! After exploring this road, I have asked two 11th-level people to go check it out. If everything goes well, we should be back in the next few days. As long as we can prove that the previous scout's information is correct, you The Guards will set off immediately, and I will transfer some more warriors from other places to you. I hope you will not disappoint me..."
"yes!"
Reptanton's prediction was very prepared. Just two days later, the two 11th-level warriors returned to the Blue Water Camp. Their trip not only confirmed that the previous intelligence was true, but even brought back more detailed information.
"The route we discovered before is indeed safe, but occasionally a small number of dark creatures will pass by. Therefore, you must be careful when walking. If you encounter a dark creature, you must not leave any trace alive or expose your whereabouts." An 11th-level warrior gestured on the map and warned the guards. Although the two of them would accompany them on this trip, there were some details that still had to be known to everyone.
"The defense of that place is very tight. We can see no less than 20 level 11 monkeys outside, and there are probably more inside. And there are at least 300 thin monkeys at level 10. The most important thing is that we saw fallen angels outside. Figure!"
"Fallen angel? How many wings?" Shen Yun frowned and interrupted.
"Four wings!" The soldier glanced at Shen Yun, and then added: "But I'm not sure if there are any inside. Their buildings are built directly on the cave, and it's difficult to see what's going on inside from the outside. But from the outside. From a common sense point of view, the real combat power there will definitely be higher than what we see."
"In other words, the opponent's power is likely to be stronger than yours!" Reptanton nodded and concluded: "Therefore, your goal this time is to first find out the role of those buildings. If it is as we think, It is Shouhou's production base, so we must find a way to destroy it! Although I don't understand the principle of this kind of manufacturing, I believe that this kind of base cannot be easily built! Especially those researchers, it is a Don’t let it go!” (To be continued..)
