The snow was falling heavily and the wind was biting.
Located on the far northern border of the Great Xia Empire, the white snow everywhere has been completely dyed with bright red blood.
At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, corpses were everywhere.
This is the period of the second "catastrophic civil war".
A protracted and fierce battle took place on the border between the coalition forces belonging to the Great Xia Empire and the Night Watch Legion of the Principality of Issa.
Just a few hours.
Countless national night watchmen fell forever on this freezing Shura battlefield, using their lives to exchange for the short-term peace on the border.
"Damn the Principality of Isa..."
Accompanied by a curse.
A slim figure climbed up to the position halfway up the mountain, looking at the retreating enemy legions in the distance with a somewhat resentful expression.
The woman in front of me is not very old.
She has fair skin and a slender waist, and besides having a good figure and good looks, there is a hint of heroism and murderous intent between her brows.
She was none other than Granny Ya, who was only twenty-five years old and served as the Intelligence Director of the Longdu War Preparedness Department at the time.
"Fortunately, the enemy finally retreated."
A sturdy middle-aged man also came to the mountainside and stood side by side with her.
The man in front of me is no one else.
It was Hu Kui's ancestor, Hu Yiming, who was the lord of Longdu City and the director of the Operations Department of the War Preparedness Department!
"After experiencing this blow, the animals in the Principality of Isa will no longer covet Daxia in a short time, and the border can be peaceful for a few more years."
Hear the words.
The young Granny Ya could not help but frown, sneered in a low voice with sharp eyes, "But what's the price?"
Biting cold wind blew through the desolate mountains.
The servants responsible for cleaning the battlefield looked dull and expressionlessly collected the mutilated corpses on the snowy field.
No wailing, no crying.
Everything seemed extremely calm, and the sadness in the eyes was suppressed by an inexplicable emotion, which made people feel on pins and needles and made their scalp numb.
"In just three years..."
On the mountainside, two people stood facing the wind.
Young Granny Ya closed her eyes, her red shirt fluttering in the wind, leaving traces of scars and blood marks on her fair cheeks.
"Thousands of people died on the border, just to exchange for this ridiculous peace?"
He was slightly startled.
Hu Yiming shook his head and sighed: "There is no way... this is war, and war will lead to massacre and sacrifice..."
He pondered for a moment.
Hu Yiming turned around and admonished: "Xiaoya, we are the night watchmen affiliated with the Daxia Empire. Our only position is to be loyal to our country, nothing more."
There was a pause.
The man in front of me continued meaningfully: "There is no doubt about your talent and strength, but you are too kind-hearted and lack the magnanimity and state of mind that someone who achieves great things should have."
"A woman's kindness will harm you one day..."
It's almost a prophecy.
Xiaoya on the cliff smiled faintly and didn't take the other person's words to heart at all.
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland era.
Everyone has the balance in their own mind. If you stick to your own opinions or go with the crowd, you will bear the consequences yourself, and you can't blame others.
Sighing silently.
Knowing that the other party might not listen to his advice, Hu Yiming quickly changed the subject and said: "Pack your bags and prepare to return to Longdu tonight."
"So fast?" Xiaoya said in shock.
Logically speaking.
A battle had just ended, and everyone was already exhausted physically and mentally. Even if they were rewarded for their merits, they should return to the nearest Dog City for some rest before heading back to Longdu.
"Forced by the situation..."
Hu Yiming in front of him looked deeply and said in a deep voice: "In this border battle, our Longdu War Preparedness Department suffered heavy casualties. It is imperative to recruit new people to replenish our troops."
Rumble~~
The heavy sound of maglev engines boomed from high in the sky.
Dozens of strange-looking aircraft flashed by almost halfway up the mountainside.
“The ‘Training Camp Talent Replenishment’ plan you proposed previously has been officially recognized and approved by the royal family..."
He looked straight into Xiaoya's delighted eyes.
Hu Yiming raised his lips and smiled: "Our Longdu will become the first trial base of this plan. After the establishment of the first "training camp" in history, what is most lacking is not students, but freaks to arm the students. ..."
Frowning slightly.
The high-spirited Xiaoya immediately realized the crux of the problem.
Although not everyone can awaken the force field talent, facing the huge population base in the fortress city, it is still possible to supplement the force with one to two thousand new people every year.
But the required armed monsters are extremely scarce resources.
in the past.
The new armed freaks basically rely on the forces behind their respective families to deal with them on their own.
But once the "training camps" are established, this heavy burden will naturally fall on the combat readiness departments of major fortress cities.
"What do you mean?" Xiaoya asked tentatively.
“There is no time to delay in cultivating talents.”
Narrow your eyes.
As the lord of a city, Hu Yiming's character is not only calm, but also very forward-looking.
He knew very well that only the continuous exploration of talents was the only hope for Longdu to prosper in the long term.
"Back to Dragon City, you will be responsible for leading the team to the "Valley of the End" in the east of the city. There are many monsters dormant in that place all year round. If appropriate, capture a group of potential wild monsters alive and bring them back to the city to be imprisoned. Get up and prepare for emergencies.”
Capture wild monsters in large quantities, and in this wild and dangerous place that few people set foot on.
This is definitely a feat that has never been done before!
"How about it......"
There was silence for a moment.
Hu Yiming turned around and asked: "Are you confident about this task?"
"Haha, what bullshit confidence."
Shrugging his shoulders.
Xiaoya, who was in her prime, smiled sweetly and couldn't help but shook her head: "Following this guy like you, when did I not have a narrow escape from death? When did I have the certainty of victory?"
There was a pause.
Looking at the devastated battlefield in front of her again, the female night watchman in front of her raised her hand to wipe away the blood on her cheek, and sighed sadly: "Since the first year of the Cataclysm, the tone of life for people like us has been determined. What? The Night's Watch...what an injustice."
"Escape from desperate situations, grab chestnuts from the fire..."
The young Granny Ya said meaningfully: "I just hope that today's efforts can bring peace to future generations, so that we no longer have to live a life of licking blood from the knife edge all day long like us."
"Forefathers planted trees, and future generations enjoy the shade."
His hands were behind his back.
Hu Yiming smiled slightly, looked at the endless snow-capped mountains in the distance, nodded and said: "Our efforts today will definitely not be meaningless, and the younger generations of Longdu will definitely benefit from it."
"I hope so." Xiaoya on the side said happily with a hopeful face.
The wind is biting and the wind and snow are blowing.
Their backs were swaying in the wind and snow, looking very hazy.
