Chapter 160: Report to the Troops
These troops were relatively safe.
And the task of the Reclamation Troops was extremely arduous!
They needed to fight in the wild, eliminating as many Fierce Beasts as possible, to fight for more living s.p.a.ce for the people living in Seven Star City, and to satisfy the requirements of population expansion.
The battle of the Reclamation Troops was the most intense, and the degree of danger was the highest. The number of Beast Master experts born was also the highest.
“Staying in Seven Star City is not right for me. The Reclamation Troops is indeed suitable for me!”
“Your current strength is only Bronze-Grade. I can arrange for you to be near the Mysterious Fantasy Mountain!” Yi Dong pointed at the location of the Seven Star City on the military map on the wall behind him. “We have an iron mine in Seven Star City. It’s currently the focus of the Reclamation Troops’ attack!”
“The Mysterious Fantasy Mountain originally had an extremely powerful Star Glory-Grade move. However, it was chased away by our Lord Guardian. A few Platinum-Grade Fierce Beasts were also killed!”
At this point, Yi Dong had no choice but to admit defeat.
“Now, the strongest one left is only at the Gold-Grade. The Demonized Bat disaster not long ago caused the beasts in Mysterious Fantasy Mountain to suffer heavy losses as well. I reckon that by next year, Mysterious Fantasy Mountain will be completely wiped out!”
“Yi Dong, may I ask, how much did our Seven Star City suffer from the previous disaster?”
Yi Dong hesitated for a moment and said with a heavy tone, “There’s no need to hide it from you. After the entire Seven Star City, more than 300 people have died, and more than 7,000 people have gone missing!”
Those people who had gone missing were probably dead.
However, they had been eaten by the Demonized Bats, and not even their bodies were left behind.
“So serious?”
“We’re fine. The ones in Star Ocean City suffered the most. There are more than 30,000 people in the world!”
“So many?”
30,000 people?
Lugh could not imagine it at all.
Yi Dong shook his head and said, “You’ve been staying in the safety zone outside the city for a long time. You’re not well informed, so you might not know the survival status of the entire human race. We’re trying to survive in the crack between the Fierce Beasts!”
“Yes!”
“This time, Star Ocean City was caught unprepared. To the south of Star Ocean City is the Anras Mountain Range. The Fierce Beasts in the Anras Mountain Range are extremely powerful. According to the investigation, there are likely to be more than one beast above the level of Star Glory!”
“The beast tide that appeared every few years didn’t show up, and Star Ocean City didn’t dare to march experts toward the Anras Mountain Range casually
“The disaster of the Demonized Bats broke out from the south of the Anras Mountain Range. The Demonized Bats crossed the Anras mountain range and triggered the riot of the Fierce Beasts in the Anras Mountain Range. Then, they attacked Star Ocean City together. There were a few things that didn’t happen, and Star Ocean City was caught unprepared!”
“Yes!” Lugh’s face turned serious, too!
He moved and took a deep breath. “However, even though we were caught unprepared, the city lord of Star Ocean City still sent a few experts to inform the surrounding cities with flying Divine Beasts. That’s why we have the time to sound the air defense alarm!”
“I got it!”
“In fact, there are also powerful forces around our Seven Star City that even the guardian can’t deal with. Fortunately, they rarely show up!”
Yi Dong spread his hands. “Of course, if they frequently appear, our Seven Star City would have long ceased to exist.”
Hearing this, Lugh felt his heart sink.
A pressure suddenly arose!
It was really not easy for humans to survive in this world!
Lugh asked a question that had troubled him for a long time. “Why don’t those forces attack us or destroy us humans?”
“I’ve thought about this question before, but I only found out about it later!” Yi Dong revealed a strange smile. “What do you think we are in the eyes of the beasts?”
Lugh suddenly became enlightened. “We are also beasts?”
“Yes!” Yi Dong nodded. “In the eyes of the beasts, we are also a kind of beasts. Although we humans tend to be arrogant, strictly speaking, in this world, we humans are about the same as these beasts.”
“The Fierce Beasts need to fight for the survival resources, and so do we humans.”
“Although we humans have Beast Masters and Rune Masters, the vast majority of us humans are ordinary civilians.”
“We are no different from the Fierce Beasts. We are all constantly competing for the survival resources of our species.”
“Therefore, as long as the Fierce Beasts are not hungry, as long as we don’t invade their territory, and as long as the Fierce Beasts don’t dislike us, they will not target us!”
Lugh nodded seriously. “I understand. Thank you, Yi Dong, for your clarification!”
“No need to thank me. In the future, there will also be seniors who will help you clarify your doubts. In the future, you will also help your juniors clarify their doubts!”
“Yes!”
“Finally, I have to tell you that apart from being careful of the Fierce Beasts, you also have to be careful of the humans. It’s actually fine between comrades, but for others, you have to be vigilant!”
Yi Dong’s face was solemn as he lost. “There are good and bad people. Even our Illumination Empire isn’t stable. There will always be sc.u.m appearing from time to time!”
“I’ll be careful.”
Yi Dong didn’t need to explain this to Lugh. He understood.
He had lived two lifetimes. How could he not know the secrets behind this?
“Tell me your height, weight, and shoe size. I’ll send someone to send your uniform to your home. Come back in three days. I’ll bring you to the army!”
“Okay!”
That afternoon, Lugh changed into a Second Lieutenant uniform!
Due to the scarcity of Beast Masters, they were the main fighting force against Fierce Beasts. Therefore, as long as a Beast Master had joined the army, they would at least have the rank of Second Lieutenant.
It was said that a man depended on his clothes and a horse’s saddle!
Lugh himself was very handsome. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his body was tall and st.u.r.dy. Coupled with his straight military uniform, he looked energetic, calm, and dignified, and his appearance was extraordinary!
Wearing this military uniform would make people unconsciously overlook his age
“Lugh looks so handsome in his military uniform!”
Xu Xiaoxiao shouted excitedly from the side.
“It’s alright.”
It was also that afternoon when Katya came to visit with a gift.
Katya received a warm welcome from Hestia and Xu Xiaoxiao!
After Katya left, Hestia kept asking Lugh about the relationship between Katya and him.
After Lugh told Hestia and Xu Xiaoxiao about Katya’s ident.i.ty, the two of them stopped gossiping.
“Lugh, do you think Katya will like you?”
“About that, we’ll talk about it later!”
Lugh had no choice. He could only use the word ‘drag’.
How could Lugh not know what Hestia meant?
What a joke. If Katya was mentioned, there would be others. However, the current Lugh did not want to get married and be bound by these things.
After all, Lugh had yet to truly integrate into this world.
Regarding this matter, Lugh did not want to respond. In this world, the age of marriage was relatively early. Lugh was deeply afraid that Hestia would worry about his marriage when the time came!
Three days had pa.s.sed. Lugh ran to the army. Yi Dong drove the army vehicle and rushed all the way to Mysterious Fantasy Mountain!
