Chapter 588: Chapter 263: The Cut-Off Backup Plan

With the arrival of the armored train carrying the Dragon Might Battle Group, and the appearance of Xue Shen, there was a certain unrest among the recruits in the camp.

After all, the Battle Group and Xue Sheng were legendary figures.

It was said that he led the Battle Group to crush the two-hundred-thousand-strong army of Dashi Country.

Li Changhe, who had seen both the great army and the rat tide, thought that there might have been a discrepancy in the numbers.

Probably to make it sound more impressive, the figure was announced as two hundred thousand.

However, since he was called a hero, this guy must definitely possess some remarkable abilities.

"Damn it, you two do look a little alike!" Yang Dong sent a message from the [Friends] group, "Look at you, you’re quite handsome when you don’t talk. So why does your mouth have to be so cheap? Y%$%$"

Apparently Brother Dong was still upset.

He continued, "Our colleagues heading to Changan City will find out who this Xue Shen really is. You should also try recalling if you left any body cells or something during your interaction with the Great Tang."

The two heroes presented by the Great Tang looked similar, which was a bit too much to be a coincidence.

Given the advances in biological technology in the Great Tang, Yang Dong’s first reaction was that Li Changhe had been cloned.

Li Changhe did recall carefully, as the thing that players fear the most is to leave loopholes or personal information.

Therefore, in past tasks, he had avoided this very well.

He only had two encounters with the Great Tang.

The Changan Plague was dealt with the original body of Li Ba. Even though it was severely burnt, it didn’t leave anything.

Could it have been the Mysterious Island?

That’s not necessarily true, because when he got hurt, it was from that bombardment. And he had used a character from the plot.

After that, he dealt with the Volga using his original body, and only dislocated his arm. He shouldn’t have left any body cells.

To be on the safe side, Li Changhe sent this information to his friends.

"I know you better than anyone. I can’t possibly mistake you for someone else," replied the girl who insisted she had the most say on this matter.

Indeed, Li Changhe thought, where haven’t you touched?

The girl continued, "However, you should be careful around that guy. This is definitely no coincidence."

He Feng replied, "Calm down, Li. As the saying goes, we grew up under the same roof. I know your fart just by seeing you twitching your ass. Furthermore, if the guy is a hero, there shouldn’t be many individuals who look like him. Let’s just wait until we get information from the Great Wall."

Yeah, thought Li Changhe, it’s really energy-consuming to blindly guess without specific intelligence.

However, looking at that familiar face in the distance.

Li Changhe felt a bit weird, with some uncontrollable emotions welling up. Could it be that my face looks really punchable?

Unfortunately, it was not a good time to use the [Insight Mirror] to understand Xue Shen’s attributes due to the crowd, he would have to find another opportunity.

On the other hand, Xue Shen, who had just gotten off the train, scanned the surroundings and gave a slight nod to the armor-clad warriors who came to welcome him.

However, he didn’t know why he subconsciously looked at the crowd in the distance, where he vaguely sensed a hint of danger and unease.

"Is this the test that the White King mentioned?" Xue Shen wondered, "My lord, your thoughts are indeed complicated. Do you have a better candidate besides me?"

...

Meanwhile, Li Changhe came to a large building deep in the camp with the Auxiliary Army person, and as the door opened, billowing steam whistled out.

Rows of armored warriors sat on metal chairs, as dozens of white-robed soldiers ran back and forth around them for checks.

And Li Yang was standing and watching the patrol, holding his helmet in his hand.

Speaking of which, if these armored warriors didn’t take off their helmets, Li Changhe really couldn’t tell who was who.

Seeing Li Changhe arrived, Li Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you here? How’s your body conditioning?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I’m much better now."

"Just call me Captain," Li Changhe nodded toward the busily working white-robed soldiers, "Now, come and say hello to the captains. From now on, you’ll be my personal soldier!"

"You, Li Yang, have recruited personal soldiers again. Have you found another promising talent? Haven’t the number of rookie soldiers in our third team has exceeded the quota in recent years?" An armored soldier sitting on a chair started speaking, "If you don’t want me to publicize this, you should share some personal soldiers with me."

Li Yang: Haha.

The armored warrior sitting next to him responded, "Fourth, stop complaining. If you’ve got the guts, don’t go into sleep, okay?"

"Stop messing around, Six! We’re not at war. If we don’t go into sleep, do we just guard the gates? You also chose to sleep."

"That’s why I’m sensible. I’ve never envied Li Yang. I don’t want to guard, yet I desire fresh recruits with potential. How can everything be so easy? You need to be smart." The armored warrior called Six rose from his seat, turned to Li Yang and said, "Li, give me your troops. I’ll give you 10% of my auxiliary troops."

"Is that what you call smart?" Fourth exclaimed, "I’ll offer 20%."

"Get lost!" Li Yang cursed, "You wake up and the first thing you want to do is steal my men?"

They probably are the squad leaders of the regular battle group.

During peacetime, a portion of the regular battle group is put into sleep.

They are essentially killing machines on the battlefield, and during peacetime, they can only be stationed in Yuezhou City.

Therefore, many armored warriors chose to sleep.

On their way here, the guide from the auxiliary army explained it to Li Changhe.

There are very few routes to becoming an armored warrior, the most direct being joining the military and earning enough military merits.

This demands that the soldiers themselves meet the required aptitude level, as well as some amount of luck.

Thus, many squad leaders and battle group leaders try to recruit those soldiers with potential as their troops, to avoid them being snatched by others.

Having killed an armored warrior in his mortal body, Li Changhe would soon qualify to be an armored warrior as long as he continued to earn military merits.

Even with bad luck, if he couldn’t meet the standards, it’d be fine. Even if he couldn’t become an armored warrior, he could still be an excellent auxiliary soldier.

How could Li Yang let him go?

"Where’s the battle group leader? He just unsealed us and left us here? Didn’t even say a word of greeting?" A squad leader scrutinized his surroundings and finding no sign of the battle group leader, he complained, "What a heartless man."

"No, he’s welcoming the rest of the battle groups," Li Yang explained, "You guys go unseal your soldiers first. It’s not peaceful inside that huge mountain in Yuezhou City. Take care of it before we depart for the war."

"I heard that. The enemy has built a fortress there. I can’t believe you guys didn’t notice while guarding Yuezhou City. You’ve lost face for our battle group." A squad leader grumbled, "Fine, we’ll just warm up before heading out."

He left for the rear.

Behind the metal chairs they were sitting on, metal cabins were placed in an orderly manner.

They were stacked together neatly like tin cans.

"Awaken, my warriors!"

The squad leader of the fourth team uttered these theatrical words and laid his hand on the apparatus in front of the metal cabin door.

Soon, stiff voices rang out from inside the metal cabins, resonating throughout the building.

"Information verification, achieved!"

"Command verification: Unseal command."

"Command sender: Team Leader of the fourth team of the Yuezhou Regular Battle Group. Permission confirmed."

"Order accepted, for the Great Tang!"

As the voices fell, the metal cabin doors opened together. Towering figures stepped out from the cabins one by one.

The long-sealed warriors were finally waking up, ready to demonstrate their will to fight to the world.

"No matter how many times I see this scene, I still find it astonishing," Li Yang said to Li Changhe, "Keep up the good work."

Li Changhe nodded silently, seemingly overwhelmed by the scene, but he was sighing inwardly.

If a squad leader of the fourth group can awaken this scale of armored warriors,

Then wouldn’t he as the general of the second group of the Great Tang...

Now, he finally understood the back-up plan the Great Tang had implanted in him.

Too bad, it had been cut off.

Once he appeared, he would face a terrifying siege.

"I guess I’m late again."
