Along the way, Niville was silent, and the Sunil soldiers did not talk much. Everyone's face was tense, as if they did not have the time to communicate and focus on their mission. The air was filled with the metallic smell of the soldiers' armor and a serious and tense atmosphere. It was silent, and only the clanking of the tanks could be heard. ()
The Sunil race was originally a civilization that loved life and worshipped culture and art. The disaster changed their mindset, and the survivors were given a practical and direct attitude by the dangerous environment. This was also reflected in the style of the buildings. The steel fortresses were monotonous and sharp. Looking through the military base into the residential area of the city, the streets were arranged in a square, showing a rigid impression.
Niville led the way, and Han Xiao and the others came to the mercenary area. A large number of mercenaries were gathered there, and it was noisy.
Before the Catastrophe started, the mercenaries needed to understand the details.
Niville stepped on the stage and said with a deep voice, "The observation team discovered the signs of the beasts going berserk two months ago, so we started the recruitment. You are all mercenaries who accepted the mission, and you can only get through this by working together. If you want to get the reward, please do your best …"
After a brief introduction, Niville went straight to the point. "There are Prophecy Stones growing under this planet, and the Prophecy Stones have the ability to pollute the soul. All the mineral veins on this planet have merged together to create a Psionic Force Field that shrouds the ecological environment of this planet and subtly affects the soul. Therefore, the beasts on this planet are always in a berserk state and are very aggressive. However, this is not the direct cause of the Catastrophe. The Psionic Undercurrent formed by the Prophecy Stones will erupt once every few years, and we call it the 'Tide'. This is the real cause of the beasts going berserk.
"This time, the 'Tide' of the Psionic Force Field is more than half a year earlier than before. The observation team estimates that the Catastrophe will erupt in full force in the next seven to thirteen days. Our enemies are all the beasts on this planet. Normally, in the first three to six days of the Catastrophe, we will only face small beasts, which are equivalent to a group of weak beasts being chased away by stronger beasts. Then came the middle period, which lasted for about ten days. The battles were the most frequent, the beasts were almost endless, and the enemies were getting stronger and stronger. Blood gathered into rivers, and smoke condensed into clouds. The last five days or so will be the last phase of the Cataclysm. This is the most dangerous phase. At this time, our vehicles and manpower have been greatly depleted, and the enemies we face are the most powerful beasts. They are attracted by the smell of blood of countless dead beasts … "
At this time, a mercenary interrupted, "You have tanks, airplanes, and even interstellar battleships. Isn't killing wild beasts a massacre?"
Niville glanced at him coldly. "You will understand when the Catastrophe arrives."
Immediately after, Niville opened the projection and showed the introduction of the beasts one by one. He introduced the beasts of this planet, which were also the monsters that everyone was about to face. Han Xiao took a few glances. The beasts on Planet Sunil were far stronger than those on Blue Star. The Prophecy Stone had existed for countless years, and its' spiritual 'power could subtly influence the evolution tendencies of the beasts. The beasts on Planet Sunil lived by fighting. The strong survived, and the weak were eliminated.
"Since we know that the beasts are the enemy, why don't we kill all the beasts?" Maple Moon asked curiously.
"Because of the symbiotic 'nature' of the ecosystem," Mad Blade said hesitantly.
"But this is already a threat to the continuation of the race. What ecosystem is there to consider?" 'Meat' Bao disagreed.
"The problem is, can we kill all of them?"
The players started to argue. They all had their own opinions about the Sunil Race's actions.
There were more than a hundred types of beasts. After explaining them, Niville distributed the information to every mercenary and gave them missions according to the missions they had accepted. (Latest Update)
The Sunil Race had many resource extraction points and various facilities in the wild, but during the Catastrophe, all the people gave up on these points and returned to Forest City. They gathered all their forces to protect one place and reduce the chances of being attacked.
The main city was the last barrier. Forest City had five defense circles, and the job that Han Xiao had accepted was to protect the second last defense circle. This was relatively the safest job. The other missions were to protect the reconnaissance aircraft, protect the sky battleships, and provide reinforcements.
Forest City had many defensive measures, and the main city was the core of the defense to take advantage of the geographical advantage. Forest City was not a dead zone, and there were escape tunnels underground. If Forest City showed signs of being breached, they would move the people in advance and escape from underground or in the sky. Therefore, the main city was not impossible to lose. There were also powerful beasts underground and in the sky. If they were attacked by unstoppable beasts in these two places, they would fall and be buried alive. Therefore, these two were the last resort.
The two most dangerous jobs were field reconnaissance and field combat. Planet Sunil was covered in forests, and there were blind spots for reconnaissance in the sky. Therefore, field reconnaissance was essential. Carrying out missions in the wild during the Catastrophe was very dangerous. If they found a beast that was too dangerous heading toward the main city, they would need the field combat team to kill the beast before it reached the main city or divert it. The survival rate was extremely low.
Therefore, no mercenaries had ever applied for these two jobs. They were all done by their own warriors.
The mercenaries in different positions were each led to their positions by an officer. Niville led the group of mercenaries that Han Xiao was in to familiarize them with their positions.
Time passed quickly, and the sky darkened.
The mercenaries all lived in the military base, but Han Xiao needed to enter the city to complete his subclass goal. He found Niville alone and asked, "I want to apply to enter Forest City."
"Why do you want to enter the city?" Niville frowned.
"Some 'private' matters. I have a friend in the city, and I want to visit him."
"No." Niville rejected immediately. To prevent any hidden dangers, mercenaries were not allowed to enter the city unless absolutely necessary. They could only move around in the military base.
"You can't use this reason to enter the city, but your friend can visit you," Niville added.
Han Xiao had a helpless expression. He wanted to meet a key storyline character, but the other party did not even know him. Why would they visit him?
Could he only sneak in secretly?
He had the mask of disguise and the Night Stalker subclass, so the success rate of sneaking in should be quite high … right?
Hu …
This time, a gust of wind descended from the sky, and a few beams of light hit the ground. A spaceship hovered above the base, and a gangway was lowered. Sunil Supers walked down one after another. They were all mercenaries who had gone out to earn commissions. Before the Catastrophe arrived, they all returned to their own race.
On the ground, the Sunil soldiers raised their heads. Worship, excitement, and yearning flashed in their eyes as they saluted in unison.
Every time the warriors of their own race returned, they would enjoy a grand welcome ceremony and be loved by everyone.
Han Xiao had sharp eyes. He saw someone familiar and shouted, "Hey, Lerden!"
'Green Knight' Lerden was also in the crowd. He heard the shout and turned around. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was someone he had fought side by side with. Blue flames spouted from his feet as he landed in front of Han Xiao. He asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Black Star is a mercenary." Niville saluted and answered first.
"So, you're a mercenary too." Lerden realized.
"I just registered. I heard that your race is in danger, so I came. I didn't expect to be fighting side by side with you." Han Xiao was familiar with this. "I have an acquaintance in the city and hope to visit. Can you do me a favor?"
"If he's your friend, then no problem," Niville said.
Lerden thought about it. The two of them had fought side by side before. Although they had not known each other for long, he felt that Han Xiao's identity was not dangerous, and he was quite strong. He did not mind doing a small favor, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you into the city …"
"Thanks." Han Xiao smiled. It was so convenient to know an acquaintance. He could solve the problem with one sentence, and there was no need to take the risk of sneaking in.
…
After not seeing each other for a while, Lerden's prosthetic body had been repaired. Han Xiao followed him through the sentry post. The rest of the returning Sunil Supers also entered the city first. Han Xiao and Lerden followed behind this team.
