It was only seven hours from nightfall to sunrise!
Allen's jet lag hadn't been adjusted from Earth yet, so he quickly put on his uniform with his swollen head and led his team to the playground. Nether Domain Star only had 18 hours a day, and the days were long and the nights were short. When he first arrived on this planet, he had to take a period of time to adjust and adapt. Of course, the army won't let you slowly change on your own, but will use forceful means to turn you around in a very short period of time, from body to mind.
Those who couldn't adapt were either sent back or killed in some armed conflict.
On the playground, ten squads and a hundred soldiers lined up neatly. Today, Colonel Berry brought another officer to the playground. The officer looked quite young, in his early twenties. His short, dry, gray, and lusterless hair. On his ice-cold face, an ugly scar stretched across his eyes and across the bridge of his nose, almost cutting off his head.
The eyes with azure blue pupils shot out a cold gaze and swept across the soldier's face. Allen noticed that his right hand was a mechanical prosthesis. Without a disguised artificial skin graft, the cold metal skeleton and the energy wires that replaced the blood vessels were all exposed. The officer had a long tactical saber hanging diagonally from his waist with an eagle symbol on it. It was an extended version of the Steel Eagle Saber. It was a melee type of standard equipment in the army, but it was not a magical weapon.
His epaulettes were two upside-down swords, indicating that he had the rank of major. For a major to use a standard-issue weapon, it was either because he was arrogant or because he had excellent skills in this weapon. Judging from the murderous aura that he couldn't hide, Allen believed that it was the latter.
"Rookies, this is Major Coggess. He is also your instructor. All you have to do is to follow the instructions in the soldier's manual. Obey and obey! "Colonel Berry shouted," Now, number off! "
As the soldiers began to count, Berry and Coggess whispered a few words to each other and pointed at Allen and Lucy before turning around and leaving. After the soldiers finished reporting, Coggess stretched out his hand to signal for silence. Then he said, "You have a three-month internship period. Only those who can stay after the internship period will be officially used by the base." Otherwise, all those who don't meet my requirements can scram. "
His voice was hoarse, like sand scraping against an iron plate. It was definitely not pleasant to the ear. The major glanced at Allen and Lucy before continuing, "I know that some of you have special identities. Hey, it's a pity this isn't Babylon. I don't care about young masters and young ladies. Here, you are just soldiers! Only soldiers! I told you to run, so you're not allowed to leave. Do you understand?! "
"Yes, sir!" Everyone replied in unison.
Coggess nodded and said, "Now, I will announce the mission you have to complete today. Sergeant Allen, please step forward with your team! "
Allen immediately led his men out. Coggess walked in front of Allen with a faint smile on his face. He casually pointed to a barracks on the other side of the playground and said, "Your mission today is to clean that dormitory. That's right, I want to see every corridor spotless. This work must be finished before sunset, or you won't have to eat tonight. "
"Yes, sir." Allen replied, then gestured and led his men to the dormitory designated by Coggess without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Hubble smiled proudly. Yesterday, he had found his brother, who was a major, and fiercely complained about Allen. Now that Allen was obviously making things difficult for Coggess, Hubble thought to himself, let's see who dares to go against him in the future.
"Sergeant Hubble! Line up! "Coggess suddenly shouted.
Hubble hurriedly restrained his smile and led his squad out. Coggess pointed expressionlessly at another dormitory and said, "That's your job today."
"Brother, are you kidding me?" Hubble thought he had heard wrongly.
Coggess said coldly, "Please watch your tone, sergeant. There are no brothers here, only major and sergeant! "
"Yes, yes, sir." Hubble hurriedly said, and then left with his squad in a dejected manner.
As a result, today, the ten squads were assigned the same tasks. Each squad was responsible for cleaning a barracks, without exception.
The next day and the third day were all the same. On the fourth day, some soldiers finally began to complain.
"I won't do it anymore!"
Allen was cleaning the corridor with a vacuum cleaner when he heard a soldier shout and throw the broom to the ground. He shouted, "I'm here to fight, not to be a worker! That major is clearly teasing us! "
"That's right, even if it's like training us in the reserve regiment, what's the matter with us being cleaners?"
A few soldiers responded in unison.
Allen raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "What's the first article of the soldier's handbook?"
No one answered. Allen said himself, "It's obedience."
"What about the second one?" He asked again.
"The third one!" Allen's tone began to become sharp.
The soldiers who wanted to strike reluctantly replied, "Obey."
"That's right, it seems like you haven't forgotten that you're soldiers.
All we have to do is obey the major's orders and do our best. We don't care if this order is for us to clean the dormitory or to kill the enemy. Besides, if you have the strength to complain, you might as well try to get through the internship period as soon as possible. Besides, if you have the strength to complain, you might as well try to get through the internship period as soon as possible. After you become an official establishment, are you afraid that you won't have the chance to fight? "Allen said in a deep voice," Then, if there are no other problems, continue working. "
"Yes, sir."
"It's too soft, I can't hear you."
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers shouted.
Standing in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory, he could faintly hear the roars coming from upstairs. Kejess smiled and turned to leave.
Soon, a week passed. This week, Allen and the others' mission could be said to be boring. But every day, Allen would ask his soldiers to do their best and strictly follow the major's instructions. At the same time, Allen also quickly adapted to the environment of Nether Domain Star. On Monday of the second week, when he stood on the playground again, he had already completely adapted to the long days and short nights of Nether Domain Star.
Today, Major Coggess had a tablet brain in his hand. On the screen of the brain was a table that listed the results of the ten teams this week. Of the ten teams, only Allen's team got an "A" every day. The rest were all AB, and some were even C. After announcing the results, Coggess said, "From this moment onwards, Sergeant Allen and his team will enter the second stage of study. As for you, when you get all A's in a week, that will be the time for you to enter the next stage of study. "
"I know, cleaning the dormitory is a very boring thing. But this mission is to test your obedience to your superiors. On the battlefield, the orders of your superiors are everything. There's no time for you to question or object. All you have to do is to complete it as quickly as possible. If you can't obey orders, then what's the point of fighting? "Coggess said.
A sergeant raised his hand and said, "Major, do you mean that even if the orders from our superiors are wrong, we still have to complete them?"
"That's right, there can be no doubt in the army, at least not during the battle. One person's doubts can sometimes affect the overall layout, and even drag down the situation in other places. " "Of course, if the order is proven wrong after the war, then the guy who gave the order will be punished accordingly," Coggess said forcefully. Perhaps this was unfair to the soldiers involved in the battle, but the military could only do so. At the same time, everyone who gave the order must understand that they were shouldering the honor and disgrace of the entire team! Every order must be careful! "
From this day onwards, Allen and the others were no longer gathering on the playground, but in a tactical conference room that could accommodate thirty to fifty people. Of course, there was only Allen and the team in this conference room for the time being. Coggess stood on the podium in the conference room, behind him was an electronic curtain wall. Now, some pictures were appearing on the electronic curtain wall. These pictures were all dangerous species on Nether Domain. Coggess stretched out his hand and pressed on the curtain wall, pulling out a picture from inside and enlarging it.
In the picture was a giant ant with a human man as a reference, so it wasn't hard to tell that this ant was the size of a light motorcycle. The giant ant's carapace was reddish-brown, and its joints and limbs were covered with dark bristles. Two scimitar-like jaws protruded out of the mouthpiece on its head. The most eye-catching thing was its pair of forefeet, the front of which was shaped like a blade.
"This is a knife ant, one of the most common dangerous species on Nether Domain. It is also a servant beast that the Blade Demon Tribe can tame and use as cannon fodder in war." Coggess said, "Although Blood Hawk Base is responsible for logistics, it is located at the rear of the front. But believe me, the chances of you encountering a Saber Demon Servant Beast won't be much lower. Just like this kind of knife ant, they have a strong adaptability and a short reproductive cycle. Almost every medium-sized tribe has a servant beast like this in captivity. "
"Knife ants are very aggressive. The blades of their forefeet can easily cut an adult's waist. However, they are very fragile, and ordinary firearms and rifles can effectively kill them. The reason why knife ants are troublesome is not because of their individual combat strength, but because of their gregarious nature. Often, when you see knife ants, there will be at least a colony of thousands of ants moving nearby. "
Coggess opened another picture. It was a long worm. It was also an adult man as a reference. One could see that this insect's body was as thick as an oil barrel, without eyes or nose, and it had many pairs of feet. There was a big mouth hanging on his head. The sharp teeth in his mouth were flipped open, and he looked ferocious. The major introduced, "This is an Earth Drilling Insect. It is also one of the servant beasts raised by the Blade Demon Tribe. However, unlike the knife ant's offensive function, this insect's main job is to dig tunnels, as its name says. Earth Drilling Insects and Saber Ants are the two most widely distributed and numerous dangerous species on Nether Domain Star. Even if they are not kept in captivity by the tribe, they are still targets that we need to be vigilant against and eliminate. "
"There are some knife ant nests and earth insect nests near the Blood Hawk Highlands. A large part of the mission of the base soldiers is to clean up these dangerous species so that they don't break into the base and cause damage."
