Allen and the others suddenly stood up. Kejess said calmly, "You're really lucky. Come with me. It's time to broaden your horizons."
Everyone followed him out of the meeting room curiously, bypassing a component workshop of an arsenal and turning into the playground. The ground of the playground was constantly shaking, and mud and sand would spray out from time to time. Kejess casually caught a soldier who passed by and asked, "What's the situation?"
"Two Earth Drilling Insects and a hundred Knife Ants, sir!" The warrior replied.
Kejess let him go and said to Allen and the others behind him, "This is a common occurrence. The Earth Drilling Insects will sneak into the base from the ground, and the Knife Ants will follow the passageway opened by the insects."
Allen cried out involuntarily, "Then wouldn't the base be riddled with holes?"
"It's not that serious." Coggess said, "The rocks in the Blood Hawk Highlands are very hard. Even the Earth Drilling Insects can't open up a path at will. There are only three to five tunnels underground at most. The Earth Drilling Insects come through the original tunnels and then break out of the ground. As for the aftermath, oh, they're here … "
The playground rumbled, causing mud and dust to fill the sky. A giant worm with hundreds of feet poked out of the ground. It opened its mouth full of broken teeth and let out a sharp cry. Another Earth Drilling Insect broke out of the ground not far away. The two insects twisted their bodies and crawled up from beneath the crypt.
On the playground, several groups of warriors charged over. They were a team of ten, seven or eight of them firing machine guns, and one or two of them using flamethrowers to spit out fire dragons at the Earth Drilling Insect. As soon as the fire dragon landed on the giant bug, a strange sizzling sound rang out. The bug's oil burned at a visible rate. Soon, the Earth Drilling Insect fell under the machine gun and flames.
"The Earth Drilling Insect has plenty of fat and a low ignition point. It can be easily ignited. Let me add that the fat of this insect can be refined and processed into a liquid energy that we can use on Nether Domain. "Kejess said casually.
After putting down the two Earth Drilling Insects, a sergeant shouted orders, and several groups of warriors rushed towards the passageway opened by the Earth Drilling Insects. Suddenly, a reddish-brown knife ant appeared in the passageway. The knife ant's sharp feet moved crazily, and the warriors in the front row brazenly welcomed it with a long saber in their hands, pressing the knife ant back. Behind him, his comrades intersected. Their machine guns roared in unison, and bullets rained down on the tunnel.
After a round of shooting, a soldier threw a grenade down the tunnel. Immediately, an orange-yellow flame exploded in the passageway. As soon as the flame passed, the passageway became silent. The warriors on the other side also did the same thing, seemingly easily blocking the knife ants in the passageway and blasting them to death.
After a short battle, two construction vehicles drove in. The back of the cart tilted, pouring a large amount of sand and stones into the passage. Finally, the ground was compacted with a bulldozer, and a layer of sand and gravel was laid on top, restoring the field to its original state.
Allen and the others looked at each other. It turned out that Coggess' so-called aftermath was so simple. From the looks of it, there was probably a large corpse grave beneath the base, burying a large number of dangerous species' corpses. These corpses could not only fill the tunnel dug by the Earth Drilling Bugs, but they could also create obstacles for these dangerous species to sneak into the base. There was also no need to spend time and energy dealing with these corpses. It was killing many birds with one stone.
It was convenient, but the thought of stepping on so many corpses every day made him feel uncomfortable.
The following days were spent in classes that instilled all sorts of common sense on Nether Domain Star. Coggess naturally wouldn't explain the perfect planetary system to them like the mentors of Dawn Blade. Instead, he directly introduced Allen and the others to some dangerous species that they would often encounter in battle, as well as the composition and army establishment of the Blade Demon Tribe.
Apart from the Saber Ants and the Earth Drilling Insects, another common servant beast was the Berserk Horned Wolf. This kind of wolf-type dangerous species could be domesticated as a mount, and when combined with the elite warriors of the Blade Demon Tribe, it could transform into a Berserk Wolf Knight. The Berserk Wolf Knight was the backbone of the Blade Demon Tribe. From the medium-sized tribes to the ten tribes under the control of the Blade Demon King, all of them came and went like the wind, forming groups of soldiers.
The horn on the forehead of the Berserk Horned Wolf could shoot out like a bullet when needed. Once there were enough Horned Wolves to concentrate fire on it, its lethality would also be extremely terrifying. However, the horn of this giant wolf was connected to the nerves in the brain. Once the horn was shot out, it would definitely tear off the nerves, and the Horned Wolf would not be able to survive. Therefore, this kind of mutually destructive tactic would not be used unless it was a critical moment.
Apart from that, there were other powerful servant beasts among the Saber Demons. However, the number of these servant beasts was limited, and they were only controlled by ten tribes. The chances of Blood Hawk Base encountering them were almost zero, so Coggess did not mention them.
Then there were the Blade Demons, the natives of the planets that ruled Nether Domain Star. The Blade Demons could be said to be born warriors. They were cruel, violent, bloodthirsty, and good at fighting. The Saber Demons were not necessarily united. Even among the tribes, there were endless battles.
They were humanoid aliens, tall and thin, and their stooped bodies caused their hands to almost drop to the ground. The skin of the Saber Demon had a dim metallic luster, and the facts proved that their skin was almost as tough as iron. The Saber Demon's five fingers had hook-shaped armor, and there was a retractable bone blade hidden at the front of his arm. The spine was exposed, with sharp spikes that were as hard as fine steel.
The social form of the Saber Demon was a relatively loose tribal civilization. Take a medium-sized tribe of a thousand people as an example. The members of the tribe were chiefs, shamans, commanders, centurions, clansmen, and servant beasts. Among the ten tribes, there were also Grand Priests, Great Generals, and Thousand Commanders. From this, it could be seen that the class of the Saber Demon was very clear, and the army was tightly organized. Otherwise, it would not have been able to squeeze into the ranks of the seven strongest races in the Yordon Domain.
Coggess was not the kind of person who only imparted theoretical experience. While instilling this knowledge, he even got some living specimens for Allen and the others to practice in order to familiarize themselves with the battle against the Blade Demon Tribe as soon as possible.
Among the servant beasts, the Earth Drilling Insect could be said to be the least threatening type of servant beast. Their fear of flames and low belligerence determined that these dangerous species could not even be called cannon fodder. As for the Saber Ants, their individual combat strength was not high. Not to mention Allen, even a soldier like Nazi could be easily dealt with. However, once the Saber Ants formed an order of magnitude, it would be another concept.
To deal with a servant beast like the Saber Ant, the army's tactic was basically to concentrate fire from afar.
During this time, Coggess even found a Blade Demon. Even though he was only an ordinary warrior from a small tribe, a rank seven warrior like Nazi had to cooperate with the other two soldiers to kill this Saber Demon. Of course, for someone at Allen's level, it was a piece of cake. Coggess had found another Saber Demon, but he had Allen's Three Saber Owls. This was the most powerful proof.
Days passed, and by the time Hubble and the other squads joined the course, the progress of Allen's squad had already left them far behind.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Allen had basically become familiar with life on Nether Domain Star. On this day, when they were conducting a team simulation battle, another violent tremor came from the direction of the playground. Coggess whistled and said, "You guys are lucky. Let's change the simulation to actual combat."
Nazi and the other soldiers were all excited. Ever since they had come to Nether Domain Star, they hadn't had a real battle. Now, the opportunity had finally come!
Two soldiers carried flamethrowers on their backs, while the others carried machine guns. Allen naturally carried his fangs and led the team towards the playground. On the way, Allen said to Lucy, "Don't stay too far away from me later."
Lucy gave him a bright smile. "Don't make me sound so delicate. Don't forget that I'm also someone who has participated in the death arena."
In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the playground. On the playground, four Earth Drilling Insects broke out from the ground in different directions. Allen gestured and the team covered the nearest one. After entering the shooting range, Nazi and the others found their positions and used machine guns to suppress the giant insects. The two fire-breathing soldiers took the opportunity to advance and spat out fire dragons at the Earth Drilling Insect.
The flames burned its body, causing the Earth Drilling Insect endless pain. The giant insect suddenly twisted its body, its tail wrapped in flames as it slapped towards Nazi. The soldier's expression changed. Suddenly, his eyes blurred, but the tall Broy stood in front of him. The Highlanders raised an army-specific riot shield, lowered their center of gravity, and held the shield with both hands to withstand the attack of the Earth Drilling Insect. The insect's tail caused Broy to shake. After the slap, the Highlanders pushed hard and used their shields to push away the insect's tail. Nazi took the opportunity to push forward and pour the bullets in the barrel onto the Earth Drilling Insect.
However, after a desperate attack, the giant insect had already died. However, this was the first time Nazi and the others had participated in a battle, so they couldn't help but be excited. However, they didn't see that the insect had already died. It wasn't until Allen shouted for them to stop that they stopped shooting. Allen gestured again and pointed at the crypt passageway. Broy took the lead and pushed into the crypt with his shield in his hand. When Allen saw this, he thought to himself that he had to find a suitable weapon for the Highlanders.
Judging from Broy's development path, the army's Steel Eagle Saber was not suitable. Broy needed more offensive weapons like warhammers or axes. He didn't know if Blood Eagle Base had such weapons. But that was something to be done after the battle. Allen held his fangs in his hand and spread out with William on the left and right. Lucy was in the middle and a little behind, and behind them were the soldiers of the squad.
He thought that giant ants would rush up from the crypt, but a wolf howl suddenly sounded from the passageway.
Kejess's expression changed slightly when he heard the wolf howl. In the next moment, a dark gray shadow jumped out of the crypt passageway and landed on the ground. It was a gray wolf the size of a calf with four dark green eyes. Under the kiss of the wolf, its fangs were covered with turbid yellow fangs. A pitch-black bone spike protruded from the joints of each of his limbs. As for the wolf's forehead, there was a long Z-shaped horn.
Berserk Horned Wolf!
However, it wasn't this Berserk Horned Wolf that attracted the attention of Allen and the others, but another figure on the gray wolf.
Purple light flickered in his eyes like ice chips, and a dark black bone blade stretched out from each of his arms. The Blade Demon sitting on the Berserk Horned Wolf swept his fierce gaze across everyone present. Then, a dull roar that was completely disproportionate to his tall and thin body came from his body.
It was actually a Berserk Wolf Knight!
