After a brief exchange of "ideals" and "desires" with Feng, Laite felt that the haze that had just suppressed his spirit slowly dissipated. The fog that shrouded his mind was gradually dispelled, and his spirit seemed to be "bright." "I learned a lot and felt a lot more enlightened.
The depression, confusion and heaviness just now completely turned into a feeling of relaxation, joy and hope.
This made his steps in the standard combat boots much quicker.
Even though he was carrying a military backpack filled with daily necessities and strategic food reserves, he even had the "Crazy Bear" pistol that had been following him around his waist.
Laite was still walking as fast as flying, pulling the wind all the way to the residence of the Zhinetsk Corps, the "New Wind Team", Camp B, No. 2374, Street Z, Zone B.
On the way, Laite suddenly realized a serious problem. Although it is enough to use the "Crazy Bear" pistol in normal combat missions, after all, the "Crazy Bear" series is very powerful, and it is even said that it can be used with it at certain moments. Magical power produces more accurate and powerful shots.
But when I was in the capital Sogra, the tall man wearing an eyepatch who bought the "Zhouyuan" brand rifle from the "Sukela Arms Trading Department" had not changed since I left the lake where the "Plane Water" was located. There has been no trace of him.
I spent a full two hundred yuan on that! Two hundred new dollars!
A full-meat "breakfast" that can fill you up is only worth SGD 3. In my impression, even renting a villa in Sokra and Chekavsk for a year only costs SGD 150-180. .
However, if my memory is correct, including the new coins given by Mr. George, those given by Teacher Peter, and the new coins deposited in the Imperial Bank when distributed by the Socratic Committee, the total amount is almost three thousand yuan.
Although it is more than enough to buy a mechanical combat vehicle, from my sporadic expenses in several cities, plus the purchase of weapons and food, I should still have about 2,600-2,700 new dollars left.
However, the current situation forced him not to consider escaping from the Zine Empire.
After all, even if the "Silence Advent" campaign develops as expected by the empire, it will be difficult to stop the "Blood Night Ritual" of the Socra Committee. Judging from the comparison of power, the probability of the Socra Committee finding the "Daughter of the Mechanical Element" can be estimated To be more serious, although I will work hard to stop the "Blood Night Ritual" and "Lalaye's Dream" as much as possible, the city of Sogra will definitely not be habitable for a long time in the future.
If the situation is even more extreme and the order of the Zine Empire collapses due to this war, I will have to consider escaping from the Zine Empire and go to the Crusted Federation in the north. If you think about it this way, even if you exchange all the banknotes for gold coins "New Ducat" ”, I’m afraid this trip will also be stretched.
You have to make some preparations early!
As he was thinking about it, Laite suddenly felt that the crowding of the street was no longer permeating the front of his field of vision, and there was also the shadow of a relatively closed area that was not exposed to light.
He came to a six-story "Tongzi Tower" that was full of noise, laughter, and even yelling.
The tall building in front of me seemed to have just been renovated, and the exterior walls were painted a pink color that was incompatible with the surrounding buildings. But fortunately, there was no door here, so naturally there were no guards or guards guarding it.
There is only a solitary board next to it with a white background, written in black paint and placed crookedly, with the simple Zhnedian language - "Zhnetsk Corps, New Wind Corps Residence, Zone Z No. 2374" indicating. Laite came to the right place.
"Brett seemed to have told me before that the Tongzi Tower was designed for war. Once the city is bombarded by artillery shells or street fighting begins, the Tongzi Tower will hardly form ruins that make it difficult for mechanical vehicles to pass. This kind of building will provide great help for urban reconstruction. Laite stopped at the door and said to himself:
"The layout of the camp in Area B should not be much different from that in Area A, but it seems more like a real town. No, it is a city. Office areas, military areas, commercial areas and residential areas are all available. It seems that the empire is very We have been running this place for a long time, but there is no formal order to upgrade the camp to a town or a city."
After secretly complaining a few words, Lai Tra walked around the almost dry tree with strange dark purple fruits at the door, and walked straight to the small iron gate in the middle of the building.
Walking into the door, without much trouble, Laite found the captain of the "New Wind Team" in an office on the left hand side of the first floor. He was sitting on a worn wooden chair and wearing a dark green Zhenetsk Legionnaires uniform. He is wearing a uniform and is a tall, muscular man who should be almost two meters tall if he stands up.
"Newcomers? You, Laite Sugra, and the boy beside you, Feng?"
Laite and Feng, who handed over the letters of introduction, naturally received a look from the captain. After all, there was still a trace of childishness that had not completely dissipated on their faces, especially Feng, which was the most obvious.
After all, a relatively experienced warrior with a baby boy will naturally give people the feeling of a "connected family".
"Both of you were introduced through the Socratic Committee, right? It's not that I doubt your identity. After all, the old [scholar] introduced you last night, a guy who didn't know much about military affairs at first glance. He came over. At that time, he said that you had experienced countless brutal battles and killed the Lost. But I feel that you don't look like it."
"What's the difference?" Laite tried his best to suppress his anger and asked.
"There is no feeling of mental breakdown or inexplicable excitement of being in battle all the time and experiencing the test of life and death. Instead, it is as calm as water, just like an ordinary superpower who does not belong to the empire's battle order and occasionally participates in wars." The captain will introduce the letter. Putting it on the old wooden desk, he said with disdain.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Laite did not immediately refute, but suppressed the words in his mind for a short time, and began to carefully examine the captain of the "New Wind Team" in front of him.
From an age point of view, this captain should be older than Brett. Remember that Brett is about 30 years old, and he should be 40.
The scattered scars on his face symbolize his glory of fighting the "Losts" and "Heartless People" through life and death. Especially on the left eye, a whole dark brown scar seems to have been formed after being burned by flames. It seems that he encountered I have been in many dangers to my life.
Moreover, the color of his eyes under his broad and angular face seems a bit strange. The right eye is the normal brown color for people from the Zine Empire and the Western Continent, but the left eye is dark gray without any luster. It seems that That eyeball doesn't function properly.
His clothes were very old and full of wrinkles, and there were many areas with dark red blood stains that had not been cleaned in time. He must have experienced some battles not long ago.
But what shocked Laite the most was his left hand and right leg. Those two parts were only half covered by the legion uniform, and the exposed parts were actually prosthetic limbs made of steel and some copper-colored metals!
Since the empire's technology is not very advanced, his prosthetic limb does not have any wires connected in series. Instead, it is a precision-made product of normal steam machinery. The whole thing looks old and not new, but there is no rust anywhere.
On the contrary, brand-new parts are used in the key joints to ensure that the use is not greatly affected.
And the most important thing is that Laite noticed a detail. It seemed that there was a dagger hidden in the prosthetic leg of the captain's left hand, which was generally used for emergency battles.
After observing in silence for a few minutes, Laite slowly opened his mouth and said in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing:
"I have served the Empire for at least ten years. I have participated in the battles on the northern border, the battles in the Lost Swamp, the Battle of Kovo, and the mission in Donusk.
In terms of life and death, I should be no worse than any imperial [soldier] in any legion.
Besides, I am a person with supernatural powers, so it is normal for my senses and breath to be hidden. Haven't you heard of stories about some Empire [soldiers] who committed suicide late one night despite having a calm mind and no mental problems? "
"Oh? Boy, I'm a little interested in you." The captain's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of a meaningful smile.
After all, although Laite's memory is incomplete, it cannot be completely spliced. But at any rate, he has been living in this wasteland world for a month or two. The memories that occasionally surfaced, coupled with the experiences Brett told him, made him understand quite a lot about himself.
At least it's not lackluster in terms of combat experience.
"How do you say it?" Seeing the captain showing "goodwill", Laite took advantage of the situation and asked.
"The tone is firm and without hesitation, which is the style of an imperial soldier. In fact, I don't know much about the Sugra Guards you were in before, but during the short conversation with you, I actually had a good impression of you. We know each other. Come on, my name is Wendek, captain of the "New Wind Team" of the Zhinetsk Legion, 5th level hurricane.
We currently have a team of 30 people, and most of the tasks we accept are assault and infiltration related. Just like the name of our team, 'Wind' pierces the heart of the enemy silently and moisturizes things, and most of the actions it performs are extremely dangerous. "
"Captain Wendek, hello. My name is Laite Sugla, a former member of Sugla's Guards, 2nd rank of Red Earth. My... younger brother's name is Feng, and his current rank is probably still Silver Blade. But we They are all supernatural beings who are familiar with the use of magic power." Laite did not make too many reservations about the basic information. After all, his files were with the Socra Committee, and his information was recorded in detail.
According to the level of Wendek Hurricane 5, as long as a telegram is sent to Sugra, he can ask for any information he wants to know.
"Then, welcome to join the 'New Wind Team', Laite, and... Feng. You two are now my official team members. Of course, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, and my orders are everything in the team. , although I won't do this, but even if I ask you to face death, you can't hesitate or stand still, understand?" Wen Deke suddenly shouted in a thick, slightly hoarse voice. .
"Understood!" Laite responded immediately.
"Ming...understand." Feng's voice was weaker, but he still managed to roar in response.
"It seems, Laite, Feng, before I receive your new military uniforms and combat equipment, I want to do a little training for you. After all, you forgot to salute your commander. This is a very serious act of disrespect. ." Wendek's voice suddenly became deeper, as if he was a predator about to attack young prey.
Then, he suddenly stood up, moving his broad chest and strong body like a tall desert wolf, looking down at Laite and Feng with eyes that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
For a few seconds when he looked at Wendek with his dark eyes, Laite did not show any fear. On the contrary, he felt calm and had no fear at all.
After all, [Shapeshifter] Kayas, who was taller than him, had fought with him, the wolf-bodied "Mad Body" had also fought with him, and even the [Seducer] Aaron, who had the power to influence the mind, and [ He has also come into contact with Dylan, the Deceiver, and his spiritual power is inexplicably strong. He is completely immune to the suppression of human aura.
But even so, the difference in size is absolutely reflected in strength.
Without waiting for Laite's answer whether he agreed or not, Wendek stretched out his broad, calloused right hand and forcibly pulled Laite's shoulder. After calling other members of the "New Wind Team" to come and watch, he forcibly took him away. Te walked through a dim staircase and came to an empty space under the Tongzi Building. There were several gas lamps emitting dim white light hanging on the walls, and the corners were filled with firearms, weapons and physical training equipment that were stained with dust. The facilities are generally underground warehouses. Or a training ground place.
"Laite." Laite let go of his arm, Wendek turned his head and said in a high tone:
"I don't want to bully children. Although your brother looks 15 years old, I think I will train you alone today. Later, you and I will walk to the center of this warehouse and have a fight. Of course, it's not Is it a battle of fighting skills or pure physical strength and strength? I hope you use your superpowers, especially the magic source power."
Before Laite could respond, several team members around him who were wearing uniforms casually, with their collars hanging down, and even their belts unbuckled, took the opportunity to mock:
"Hey, Laite, you're going to have to suffer a lot. Let me tell you, you can't beat the captain. He is also a superpower. In many cases, his attacks are invisible, leaving you confused.
Even in a single fight with the chief cardinal of the Church of Giants, he did not lose. However, it's a good thing to let you suffer some flesh and blood, after all, we are all here. Enjoy it, hahaha! "
Just as Laite's lips moved, preparing to retort, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone had pressed the extremely cold ice cubes from the peak of the incandescent ice field against his hot skin.
He looked back subconsciously. Feng was staring angrily at the soldier who was mocking him, and his right hand was slightly curled up. It was covered with a layer of ice and snow at a speed visible to the naked eye that was difficult to see in dim conditions. .
"'Ice'? No, it's 'snow'?" Laite thought inwardly, and the content about wind that Peter reminded him a few hours ago suddenly appeared in his mind.
He forcibly endured the feeling of conflict between the aura of the water-based demonic power that Feng was escaping and the flame-based demonic power displayed by the red demonic power. He forcibly held down Feng's right hand and turned his head with a firm look on his face. Said to Windecker:
"I'm not afraid of fighting. Fighting with the magic source power is just as I expected. After all, practicing the control of the magic source power now will be more conducive to the battle with the Lost One after entering the Silent Highlands, isn't it?"
"Warrior! A real... warrior!" The team member who just mocked him couldn't help but said "approval" in his heart.
