The first time Tang Zhao saw the examination room he was responsible for, he felt it was ordinary.
The environment on the front line is very desolate, similar to the rocky desert in Liangzhou - it is a desert, but the wind is strong, and even the sand is blown away, leaving only exposed rocks on the surface. What you see is desolate, with only unknown weeds growing out of the cracks in the rocks.
Standing on the plain, with the wind blowing in front of you, the temperature is not hot, but slightly cooler.
It was already dusk, and the temperature was dropping sharply every moment. By the time Tang Zhao saw the examiner's camp, he was so cold that he was breathing heavily.
The weather here is like this. It's sunny during the day and cold at night. The day and night go from winter to summer, and only the early morning and dusk are slightly comfortable times in the day.
At night, the yin energy gradually becomes heavier, even worse than the misfortune of the moon in the world. Although the desert is lifeless, there seems to be a rustling sound in the cracks of the rocks and in the caves, indicating that restless hunters are ready to move.
People say that every day on the front line is a disaster, and it is true.
There are only two moons in the sky at night. There wasn't even a moon in the sky.
In fact, the Woe Moon itself is not a moon, it just looks like a moon, but it is actually a scar in the world.
The Yin Qi in the human world is from outside, but the Yin Qi in the front line is originally entangled with the Broken Realm, emerging from various gaps in the sky and the earth, and never dissipates all year round.
But there is a saying that the yin energy of Broken Realm is also Broken Realm’s illness, but it is also Broken Realm’s contribution to protecting the world.
The camp is quite large, with several military tents at its core, and two teams stationed here. There were also two civilians responsible for surveying and processing paperwork.
After Tang Zhao arrived, two captains from the camp, Zhao and Fei, came out to greet him. Captain Zhao was also a school captain and was the person in charge of this camp.
Tang Zhao was welcomed into the tent. There was a map hanging in the tent, with various signs painted on it, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
"Our examination room is the penultimate level. It has two entrances and one exit. After rushing out from here, it is the end."
"There is a village here. It is the village of the original residents. It is also the last supply point designed. You can get food and even sleep in it, but it depends on the students' abilities."
Tang Zhao nodded and said, "I remember that this village is really the village of the original residents?"
Captain Zhao said: "Exactly. This is the village protected by our Moyun City."
The residents in the Broken Realm are just like the people in the human world. Not everyone is like a dragon or a tiger. Some of them are talented people who are born with natural talent and have many adventures. However, most of them are also fragile ordinary people. They have even suffered from various disasters in the Broken Realm, making their lives even more difficult.
In order to survive and live better, most of the original residents have to defect to various forces and survive under the wings of the strong.
The aboriginal residents have been entangled with Yin Qi for a long time. Although they often have different appearances, they are not bad in inspiration, and there are some good seeds among them. The big forces also need new blood, as well as tax sources and productivity, so they are also willing to accept the original residents.
Qianjin City has its roots in the human world, and has had little contact with the original residents, but it will not refuse the surrender of the original residents. The army also gradually recruited indigenous residents.
But after all, the higher-ups come from the human world, and the future of the original residents is not as good as that of other major forces. Under the two-way choice, the relationship between the two parties is not close enough.
This village is a serious and original village of aboriginal residents. It is not easy to survive in this desert, and you can only make every effort to make every effort. The Chinese Army could not avoid them when demarcating the examination room, and considered whether to move them first and let the sergeants pretend to be villagers to complete the examination process. But in the end it was decided to retain the original residents, which could also test and cultivate young people's ability to deal with local residents.
Captain Zhao pointed at a young man and said: "This Li Lei is a villager in that village. He went to contact him."
Tang Zhao didn't expect that there was an aboriginal soldier here. After a closer look, he felt that he looked no different from ordinary soldiers, that is, his hair was slightly curly and his eyes looked very bright under the light.
The young man clasped his fists and said, "The bidder is a villager from Hongshi Village. I have made it clear to my elders according to the order that there is no need to take special care of the candidates. Whether or not to provide help is entirely voluntary. If any candidates are rude, the villagers can also drive them away or even do other things. We will not do anything." Intervention.”
Tang Zhao smiled and said, "That's what it should be. Dealing with others is part of being a human being. Just dealing with the strange residents here, Xinrui Camp and Jing'an Division probably take advantage."
Needless to say, the rookie battalion spends part of every year training in the Broken Realm. They are considered half-natives, so of course they know how to treat them. The Jing'an Division is out and about all the year round, and its job is to deal with strangers and set up close tasks, so it's no problem to deal with these. I wonder what the students from the other two divisions are like?
He is confident that Tang Zhao's student's character is not a problem, but whether he can satisfy the stranger villagers is uncertain. People's temperaments are different.
Tang Zhao added: "Since I'm here, please take me to visit all the fellow villagers."
Li Lei was startled and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will show you the way. The villagers will definitely welcome you."
Tang Zhao looked at the map again, asked about several important points, and asked: "The last exit is a mountain pass, is it suitable for an ambush?"
Captain Zhao said: "Exactly, this is also the last level. It is suitable for fast-moving candidates to ambush here and attack others."
Tang Zhao nodded, this was specially designed.
In fact, to pass the exam, as long as you find your own horse, you can pass directly. There is no need to conflict with other people, but what if you don't find it?
Do you think that you will be taken away by others?
If someone else took it away, where would you find the needle in the haystack? It is better to wait at the last joint and wait before the finish line to see who takes away your horse, takes it back and then beats the grandson.
Since the horse is not found, you can still fight for it if you see a horse held by someone else, and it will count as points.
It can be imagined that this mountain pass is a battleground for military strategists.
"Then we have to arrange our manpower to supervise the conduct of the examination." Tang Zhao thought for a while and said, "Do you have a plan? Tell us about it?"
The captains looked at each other for a moment, thinking that the swordsman was quite easy-going.
Although Tang Zhao is a novice, they are veterans with many years of experience, but the swordsmen are different. If Tang Zhao wants to assign tasks, they really have no choice.
Unless Tang Zhao's assignment is too outrageous, they can only follow the main command, and at most they can make adjustments in private.
Fortunately, Tang Zhao was self-aware. Captain Zhao pointed out the manpower distribution one by one on the map and said, "As for you, do you want to stay in the camp or sit at the mountain pass?"
The remaining camp can mediate in the middle to facilitate the overall situation. It is responsible for guarding the dangerous points at the mountain pass, and it also prevents the scale of the final decisive battle from being too large and causing too many casualties.
Tang Zhao pondered: "There are still three or four days before the large force arrives, so I will inspect the examination room first and then make plans."
The captains had no objections, nor did they say anything about disobedience or criticism. For the frontline soldiers, we saw swordsmen coming and going a lot. Each of them served as a team commander after a short internship, and each one liked to operate with the team's bayonet.
These captain-level non-commissioned officers have all served as subordinates of swordsman squads, and are very accustomed to taking orders from stranger swordsmen.
Relatively speaking, Tang Zhao is easy to serve.
Tang Zhao asked again: "How are the preparations for the ferocious beast and the phantom?"
Captain Zhao immediately said: "They are all locked up in the back camp. Do you want to take a look?"
Tang Zhao followed Captain Zhao to the back camp.
The so-called back camp is actually underground. Although there are only a few tents in the camp above, there is a huge underground cave, which is divided into two caves, where the ferocious beast and the phantom are imprisoned respectively.
There are very few ferocious beasts and phantoms in the safe area. In order to meet the needs of the exam, some ferocious beasts and phantoms must be artificially put in.
"The Yin Qi is isolated under the ground, and the ferocious beasts lose their vitality, but once they are released, the ferocious beasts will quickly become active, and these two days are when the Yin Qi is at its strongest, and the ferocious beasts will grow in strength. You decide when If you release it early, you will be stronger by then, if you release it later, it will be beneficial to the students."
Tang Zhao pondered: "If we release it too early, what should we do if it endangers the residents of that village?"
Captain Zhao was startled, and then said: "That won't happen. These ferocious beasts are not at the level of demons, and the formations of Hongshi Village can definitely defend against them."
Tang Zhao said: "Where is the Phantom? Will it attack the villagers?"
Captain Zhao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the formations are all complete. And those phantoms are implanted with lock cylinders, so you can know their location. If they harass the villagers or get out of control, you can kill them at will." .”
Tang Zhao said: "That's good. Is there such a talisman technology?"
Captain Zhao said: "This is a technology that our frontline forces have, otherwise these phantoms would have been out of control. Furthermore, the phantoms have also received orders. As long as they complete the task in the exam, they can be released. They have been saved." I hope you won’t mess around.”
Tang Zhao knew that the phantom was the spirit form of the demon. Just like the spirit form of the spirit official, it was conscious. The phantom in the human world had the intention of never returning and could hardly communicate. It seemed that this was not the case on the front line. Both sides It can actually be traded.
He couldn't help but take a closer look at the phantom in the cage, and found that he could see it more clearly than in the human world.
When he looked, one of the phantoms looked over at the same time, and their eyes met.
Tang Zhao saw the unusual spirituality in those eyes, which were no different from those of humans.
They really can communicate.
Tang Zhao had no intention of exploring. Business was important. If he was interested, he could naturally capture Phantom and study it. The two sides were enemies, not friends, so there was no need to be polite. He said, "Okay, let them out as soon as possible. The same goes for Phantom. Let them all out."
In fact, the difference is just a few days, how much difference is there in the strength of the ferocious beasts? But Tang Zhao decided to patrol the examination room tomorrow to see how ferocious these ferocious beasts and phantoms were. If they were all under control, it would be fine. If there were any that were out of control, he could directly remove them. He had to leave time for himself.
Captain Zhao received the order, and the two sides discussed some details of the exam, and then returned to camp to rest.
The next day, Tang Zhao got up early to inspect the examination room.
