Chapter 442 Military mission, clear it up!
Federal East.
36 barriers.
"Captain Jiang Chen, thank you for making such a trip."
A man with the rank of colonel was smiling. He looked at Jiang Chen, who was also wearing a military uniform in front of him, and said with a smile: "Although I have heard about it a long time ago, when I saw it with my own eyes, I still want to say that you are really young."
"Colonel Cui, you are exaggerating. I'm just lucky."
Jiang Chen gave Cui Xu a military salute and said, "If it weren't for your protection, I wouldn't be qualified to live such a leisurely life."
"No need to belittle yourself, we have heard about your performance in the evaluation competition."
Cui Xu burst out laughing and said: "You are now known as the youngest genius in the history of the Federation, and you are destined to become a Sun Yao existence."
Good guy, what is all this...
Jiang Chen was speechless for a while. These media are really good at spreading rumors. If they promote themselves like this, they are not pushing him to be the opposite of all the younger generation.
Why are there so few media outlets like Polaris that only report events without guiding public opinion...
"Colonel Cui, please tell me what I need to do."
Hearing Jiang Chen mention the mission directly, Cui Xu stopped being polite and got straight to the point.
"I will have someone prepare the specific details of the mission and hand them over to you. Let me tell you the general situation first."
Cui Xu's face straightened and he said: "There is only one content of this mission, clear it up!"
"Pay it off?"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. This kind of task happens almost every day in the 318 barrier. There is no need to spend so much time, right?
"Very confused, right?"
Cui Xu shook his head and said: "The clearing task I am talking about is not just about killing evil spirits, but clearing up in the literal sense."
"No body of the evil spirit that has been killed can be left behind!"
When Cui Xu said this, he subconsciously released a murderous aura all over his body, and he could still vaguely feel some hatred.
No body left behind...
Jiang Chen's thoughts changed rapidly and he quickly reacted.
The wilderness in the eastern part of the Federation is the scope of activities of the natural disaster of death, the Underworld Attendant.
"Are there any undead approaching the Federation?"
Jiang Chen pointed out the theme directly, and Cui Xu did not hide Jiang Chen's intention at all, saying: "Yes, the evil spirits under the Death Calamity Underworld have been very active during this period, and have developed a large-scale evil in the wilderness. Undead.”
"If these undead are allowed to develop, it will be difficult to resist them with our current military strength. After all..."
Speaking of this, Cui Xu looked at the top of his head, and the meaning was self-evident.
The largest protective mechanism in the federation, the natural moat.
Ever since the Fire Lin Disaster in the Southern Territory, loopholes have appeared in the defense layers of the natural moat across the federation. Although it is not completely broken, the defense strength is indeed not as strong as before.
To be honest, Jiang Chen has been immersed in the evaluation competition recently, and he almost forgot about this one.
Not much. The eastern part is not just defended by natural barriers and the military.
"So, where is Mr. Ye?"
Cui Xu: "...the Ye family that guards the east has always been the core force, but recently Ye family seems to be busy with other things, and has transferred a lot of manpower back, which directly caused the pressure on us to skyrocket."
Speaking of this, Cui Xu looked ashamed and said: "The duty of a soldier is to defend the federation. I shouldn't have said these things."
"only……"
"I see."
Jiang Chen looked solemn and said: "It is indeed the duty of soldiers to defend the Federation, but it is not only soldiers who protect the Federation."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Cui Xu's eyes looking at Jiang Chen became obviously much softer.
"Thank you for your understanding, but this kind of thing doesn't need to be done by non-military people."
Cui Xu returned to his previous appearance and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The underworld's sphere of influence is not far from the east. What we are doing now is to take precautions before they happen."
"Originally, I planned to arrange patrols near the border, but General Cao personally called me and asked you to join the clearance team. I can only obey the order."
"Teacher's order?"
Jiang Chen understood that the teacher's text message only said that he would come to the east to help, but did not mention the specific task.
From the looks of it, the teacher probably wanted to take the opportunity to get some practice time in actual combat.
After all, I have indeed improved a bit quickly during this period.
"That's right, but don't worry, I won't let you act alone. I have arranged a team for you to act with you."
"Don't get me wrong, this is not some special treatment. All settlement teams operate in small teams."
Cui Xu smiled and said: "Although our place is not directly adjacent to the disaster fighting like the 318 Barrier, there are still a lot of evil spirits."
"clear."
Jiang Chen understood that if a map were used to mark the federation and the wilderness, then the federation would be completely surrounded by the wilderness.
It can be said that no matter which border of the Federation there are endless evil spirits, the reason why the four regions are divided into the southeast, northwest and southeast, and even the four major consortiums are still in charge, is simply because there are major natural disasters in these four places.
Adjacent to the northern border, Douzhi Natural Disaster, who is prone to war and has become a demon, breaks the thunder armor.
The natural disaster of food, the Sweetheart Demon Dragon, has no intention of being in the Southern Region, but has a changeable personality.
Looking to the east, there is the Scourge of Death, the Underworld Attendant, who controls the corpse in the darkness.
Located in Xiling, the natural disaster of the heart is famous for playing with the soul, and the unintentional one.
Among the five major natural disasters, in addition to the hot-tempered and unfixed prison natural disaster-Yama, there are four major natural disasters close to the Federation.
It is precisely because of this that the Federation cannot open up more living space to the outside world. Instead, the evil spirits rely on humans not to go out easily and multiply wantonly in the surrounding area.
It can be said that as long as you get out of the defensive layer of the sky, it will be dangerous no matter where you are.
"Just understand. You have been in the 318 barrier, so you should be able to adapt quickly."
Cui Xu smiled and said, "By the way, do you have any requirements for your companions?"
"Require?"
Jiang Chen was stunned. Didn't the military allocate them directly? How could they still make demands?
"In the military, system is more important than anything else, but... some small things can still be taken care of."
Cui Xu said: "Although it didn't last long, I also worked under General Cao. It's rare for General Cao to ask me to do something. Of course, I will help if I can."
"You don't have to worry about it. After all, reasonable distribution will be more helpful to the survival rate of the combat team."
Jiang Chen also understood after hearing this, and became more and more curious about his teacher's past.
He is obviously known as the Butcher of the North, but his popularity is unexpectedly high.
Or maybe soldiers are more interested in this type?
"Thank you, Colonel Cui."
Jiang Chen thanked him immediately, and then asked: "Are these teams from the military?"
"Not entirely. Just like the practical courses at Kumogakure University, the military cooperates with many organizations. Some idle civilian envoys will also obtain information about evil spirits through the military."
"Of course we will only assign simple tasks to them. Cleanup tasks like this are given to several familiar organizations, so you don't have to worry about the combat effectiveness of the members."
"I see, it can still be like this."
Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the feeling of barrier 36 was completely different from that of barrier 318. It looked a bit like the Adventurer's Guild?
That's right, the Ye family who guards the east likes to recruit talents with foreign surnames, so it makes sense that this place would be affected.
However, this is good.
"Colonel Cui, I have already thought of the team I want."
…
"Brother Chen, is this really okay?"
Wen Quan looked at the sword symbol on his collar and felt a little uneasy.
"Of course, I asked you to do this after confirming it."
Jiang Chen grinned and said: "We are going to enter the wilderness anyway. Registering as a mercenary can also complete some tasks on the way, so why not do it."
"It's a shame, President, that you can't forget about making money even at this time."
Xiao Yan played with the mercenary badge in his hand and said with a smile: "President, if you are really short of money, just go out and endorse some products, right?"
"Ahem...I'm doing this for a mission, don't talk about money or not."
Jiang Chen turned away with some guilt. The imperial envoy would obtain information from the army, and the army would naturally issue some tasks.
And these tasks are of course paid.
And, the pay is pretty hefty!
Although Jiang Chen still has more than 10 million in savings, after seeing the life core level required for the third-level fruit tree, Jiang Chen has already foreseen the scene of his bankruptcy.
More than ten million is just a dozen ordinary golden life cores.
It’s simply not enough…
It's time to get another wave of meritorious deeds and increase your discount... No, it's time to increase your military rank.
"Okay, you are the boss anyway, I will listen to you."
Xiao Yan stretched his body and said: "But let me make it clear first that I am only responsible for vigilance and reconnaissance. Don't come to me for fighting matters."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly turned resentful.
"For your request, President, I have offended Mo severely, so if you want to blame me, I can only blame you, President."
"It's okay. It's enough for you to concentrate on being vigilant."
Seeing Xiao Yan's obviously deflated look, Jiang Chen grinned, then looked at Wen Quan who was still a little excited and said, "Wen Quan, you don't need to participate in the battle, just be responsible for processing the materials. By the way, try your hand." New invention."
"Oh...oh, okay, I can do this."
Wen Quan nodded, but still a little worried.
"But the wilderness is so dangerous. It's a bit risky for just the three of us. After all, where we are going..."
Wen Quan suddenly paused and waved his hand quickly to explain, "Brother Chen, don't get me wrong. I don't think you are not strong enough, it's just..."
"I understand what you mean, but those places are not only useful if there are many people."
Jiang Chen patted Wen Quan on the shoulder, but the experience in the wilderness canteen emerged in his mind.
The real goal of their trip is a forbidden place, and Wen Quan's concerns are understandable.
But if you meet the type that divides people, the large number of people will only become a drag.
And their current team configuration is enough!
"Let's go, time waits for no one. The vacation my senior approved for me is only for two months, so I can't waste any more time."
