Chapter 587: Chapter 262: Xue Shen

On the day of Yuezhou City’s conscription, the entire city was bustling with activity.

Cries of vendors, laughter, and the sound of wheels grinding against the ground assaulted Li Changhe’s eardrums.

For the residents of the Great Tang’s Yuezhou City, this was a rare grand event. They could see the long-sealed battle groups, the powerful and mighty armies, and the unrivaled spirit of the Great Tang.

As for war? The legend of hero Xue Shen single-handedly destroying a country was widely known.

What was there to fear when the legendary battle groups took action?

This pride made the cries of the vendors especially spirited.

As a Physique player, Li Changhe’s senses were extremely sharp. Even without trying, he could hear the noises from afar.

"Doesn’t the Great Tang have city management?" Listening to the cries of the pancake vendors, Li Changhe complained inwardly, "What time is it? The sky hasn’t even lightened yet."

He had gone to sleep quite late last night, but it was worth it to see Yun Ting’s rarely-seen shy expression.

Unfortunately, it was during a task... at most he could only hug and cuddle. They couldn’t talk about any multi-billion dollar deals.

"Forget it, let’s go early." Li Changhe quietly got up, covered the still-sleeping Yun Ting with a quilt, and hidden her jade-like beautiful back and fragrant shoulders, as well as the red marks on them.

He began to disguise himself.

Yesterday, the Great Wall players had already checked that the conscription team of Yang Dong from Great Tang was completely killed by the red-armored warriors. He didn’t need to worry about being recognized.

Yang Dong... Brother Dong and the others took this opportunity to infiltrate the conscription team.

There must be many players who have entered the team in the same way.

...

About four miles outside Yuezhou City, there was a solid fortress.

Outside the fortress, one could see lines of iron rails converging here.

That was Yuezhou City’s military camp.

At the same time, it was also the gathering place for various battle groups and the large conscription site.

If one were to say that Yuezhou City’s defense power was strong, then the defense power of Yuezhou military camp would be simply terrifying.

Those who were conscripted had gone through six rounds of checks within two miles of the military camp.

There were countless crossbow cannons aimed at them, and as long as there was any anomaly, the Auxiliary Army would not hesitate to fire the crossbow cannons.

Watching the squad of steel giants passing in front of them, the conscripts whispered amongst themselves.

"Brother Dong, this is Yuezhou military camp." A burly man whispered to Li Changhe, "Look at the war flags flying above the camp. They represent the various battle groups that have arrived here. It is said that General Xue Shen’s battle group will also arrive here. If we can join his battle group, our military merit will rise quickly. By then, becoming an armored soldier wouldn’t be a distant dream."

Li Changhe glanced at the distance. There were already four war flags flying. Excluding the Yuezhou City garrison that was already stationed here, three battle groups had rushed here. If all of them were unsealed, that would be four thousand armored soldiers. This number was quite terrifying.

And to become an armored soldier... was it based on military merit? What a pity. If Li Ba and the others hadn’t encountered misfortune, wouldn’t Li Changhe have taken a mech suit back by now?

"Don’t listen to his nonsense, Brother Yang." Another tall young man interjected, "You have already been appointed as a personal guard by Captain Li Yang. With your skills, your promotion speed will definitely not be slow."

"Now that you mention it, Captain Li Yang is really cunning. He directly snatched Brother Yang Dong into his battle group." Someone said, "I guess when the conscription happens later, they will not mention a word about Brother Yang Dong’s military merit. They will quickly send away the other battle groups."

"Haha, you think too much. Yang Dong will not participate in this conscription, but his name has already been recorded." The Auxiliary Army member who was checking them nearby spoke up, then nodded slightly to Li Changhe, returned the wooden sign that Li Changhe had handed him, and said, "Yang Dong, right? You’ll be one of us in the future. Our regular army will also go into battle this time, so don’t worry about not having any military merit. Come to me later, Captain Li Yang has already talked to me."

"Thank you for your guidance." Li Changhe responded with a smile, although his smile was somewhat stiff.

Because, he could already feel a gaze from behind him that wanted to hammer him to death.

Actually, the conscripts had come separately.

After disguising themselves, Li Changhe, Moon God, Brother Dong, and other official players traveled together. They didn’t stand out too much. Many conscripts from the same hometown did the same.

On the way, they met several conscripts they had seen before.

As a result, because of their performance at that time, those conscripts were quite polite to Li Changhe, calling him Brother Yang, Brother Dong, and so on.

If it weren’t for Li Yang telling them not to reveal the scene they saw at the time,

everyone being recruited would probably know Li Changhe defeated an armored warrior.

Poor Brother Dong.

His expression has been like this ever since, ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

The Great Wall players were silent for a moment... and then snorted.

Fortunately, the team soon entered the barracks.

Li Changhe followed the veteran auxiliary soldier to find Li Yang.

Meanwhile, Brother Dong and Moon God followed the normal recruitment process.

And so, they split up.

Li Changhe noticed the armored trains parked next to the fortress.

Unlike the trains he was familiar with, each carriage of the armored train had dozens of sliding doors on both sides, resembling rows of horizontally-arranged refrigerators.

"Inside are the mecha warriors," Yun Ting replied telepathically, her perception is quite strong. Though the armor of the carriages was abnormally thick, she was able to sense the presence inside.

"Their heartbeat is almost stopped, probably due to some kind of winter sleep effect," she continued.

"So, this is the so-called hibernation state?" Li Changhe thought. Great Tang probably reduced the consumption of armored knights during non-combat times through this.

Yun Ting continued: "And one more thing, they seem very similar in my perception."

"Similar?" Li Changhe was slightly stunned but then he realized she was talking about the mental images in her perception.

For example, Li Changhe’s energy has reached 10 points, and he can perceive the surroundings to a certain extent.

In his perception, people or objects would appear as glimmers of light dots in his mind.

So, Li Changhe could take some time to perceive someone’s movements and posture through walls.

Of course, it was easy for others to notice and block his perception, especially the players.

Li Changhe’s attribute level only allowed him to see to this extent; in a crowded place, many light dots would clutter his perception - who the hell knows who is who.

Yun Ting’s energy attribute is higher, and her perception is more refined, allowing her to distinguish the differences between those being perceived.

So, she could find someone specific in a crowd.

At this moment, she sensed that the auras of the armored warriors were very similar.

"Great Tang has already obtained powerful biotechnology on the Mysterious Island. In addition to the steam soldiers known as test subjects, it’s estimated that there must be some kind of transformation needed to become an armored warrior," Li Changhe replied in his thoughts, continuing to walk deeper into the barracks with the auxiliary soldier.

The auxiliary soldier looked at the train that had just arrived at the station and frowned before saying, "Look, they’ve arrived. The most famous battle group of Tang, the Dragon Might. And... the hero that the soldiers of Tang respect the most. Xue Shen!"

Li Changhe looked over, wanting to see what the hero following Li Ba looked like.

Just in time, he saw a tall and thin youth in a black outfit with a cold and unyielding face, step off from the train.

"This..." Li Changhe’s heart skipped a beat.

"No way?" Yun Ting also reacted sharply: "Your...ancestor?"

The young man had a tall and thin physique, a cold but handsome face.

He actually looked six or seven parts similar to Li Changhe.

"That... is Xue Shen?" Li Changhe asked softly.

"Yes."

"Well, he is indeed extraordinary in appearance."
