Chapter 589: Chapter 264: Yang Dong, the Eternal God
Recruitment was in full swing, with tens of thousands of conscripts from all over the country pouring into Yuezhou military camp.
Since these recruits had already received training in their respective cities, there was no need to worry about any unqualified individuals among them.
They would be assigned to various battle groups here. After a short period of integration, they would be sent to the front lines.
It was impossible to not feel nervous, but excitement and a desire to fight took precedence.
Great Tang’s hero, Xue Shen, had already arrived in Yuezhou and would be fighting alongside them. What was there to worry about?
Such a rare opportunity for battle, they had to make a good impression and strive to become Class A warriors.
Seeing the recruits wanting to join the Dragon Might Battle Group, Yang Dong couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.
These recruits were similar to students aspiring to attend prestigious universities.
The requirements for the Dragon Might Battle Group were very high. Strength, horsemanship, archery and so on, had to reach Class A standards.
It was, of course, nothing to [Player] Chen Yu. His high energy level allowed him to easily achieve several Class A levels.
However, it was very difficult for the vast majority of conscripts. One couldn’t expect a sharpshooter to suddenly emerge from the masses, right?
Yang Dong hesitated during the assessment.
He still did not reveal any of his abilities and disguised himself as an ordinary soldier.
He actually wanted to join the Dragon Might Battle Group to investigate, as Xue Shen’s face, which resembled Li Changhe, made him uneasy.
But joining Dragon Might required several Class A levels of strength, which was equivalent to attracting attention from outsiders, and even allowing other players hiding among the conscripts to deduce that he was a player.
It was a bit risky, and it could disrupt future plans, so he had no choice but to give up.
He decided to stick to the plan and join the Yuezhou Battle Group.
As tens of thousands of conscripts were being assessed, Li Changhe had already begun his personal soldier life.
A personal soldier was basically a general’s personal bodyguard, responsible for ensuring the general’s safety. They usually carried out tasks such as surveillance and communications, and during wartime they fought alongside the generals in the front lines.
Their role was actually not much different from that of the Auxiliary Army.
Li Changhe received a suit of armor that fit relatively well. Its design was very ordinary, and the surface of the armor had been polished, appearing dark and inconspicuous.
When he lowered the visor on his helmet, he could have easily played the role of Little Black in Detective Conan.
The material was probably stainless steel, which was relatively light, and its defense force was quite good.
As for weapons, there were smoke grenades, a saber, fragmentation grenades, and a chainsaw halberd.
This was not much different from the equipment Li Changhe had seen on the soldiers on Mysterious Island. It didn’t compare to the Class A warriors at all.
In the period before Class A warriors became widespread in Great Tang, soldiers equipped with these weapons were fearsome specters on the battlefield.
They fought their way through countless battles and earned a fearsome reputation.
With the emergence of even stronger Class A warriors, the legend of the Great Tang became firmly established.
Technological and military domination forced all other countries to bow before the Great Tang.
People of the Great Tang were highly esteemed in foreign lands.
If the present-day worshippers of foreign cultures were to come to the Great Tang, they would either starve to death or be killed by the people of the Tang. How disgraceful!
Throughout the morning, Li Changhe inquired about the military’s information with several veterans.
Perhaps it was because Li Changhe had become Li Yang’s personal soldier, but the other soldiers were quite friendly towards him.
Their address quickly changed to names like "Old Yang" and "Brother Dong."
This made it much easier for Li Changhe to gather information.
First and foremost is the first action: the standby battle group won’t be going to the front line immediately.
It is said that a rebel stronghold had been discovered in a vast mountain range ten miles away from Yuezhou City.
This greatly shocked the leader of the battle group, as it was a major oversight. As the battle group stationed in Yuezhou, they had been unaware that others had built a fortress right under their noses, filled with a large number of unidentified armored warriors.
Although it is deep in the mountains, it is too close to Yuezhou City. Those armored warriors could probably charge into Yuezhou City with just a few rushed assaults.
It is said that the high-ranking military officials were extremely angry and ordered the standby battle group to immediately suppress the rebels. If it were not for the ongoing war, the commander’s fate would be worrisome.
Not feeling reassured, the Great Tang Emperor even dispatched the Thousand Cattle Guard, a forbidden army stationed in the imperial city. They are on their way now.
As for the identity of the rebels, the military’s explanation was that they were Li Ba’s old subordinates.
Li Changhe found this quite far-fetched, not to mention what happened in Changan City thirty years ago.
Even if it was indeed Li Ba, there’s no need for him to attack the people of the Great Tang, right?
Isn’t it known that Chaos is coming? These people aren’t rebels but traitors!
Regardless of what Li Changhe thought, the military identified them as Li Ba’s old subordinates. It was said that a few days ago, there were signs of Li Ba appearing in that area. Probably an attempt to cause trouble while the army was gathering.
A few days ago... it was precisely when the [Players] entered the Great Tang.
The so-called appearance, could it have actually been Li Changhe himself? Was it because his Soldier Karma was detected by the Great Tang?
"I’m taking the blame for this. Pretty unlucky." Li Changhe lightly tapped his armor. Luckily, he had the Insect God Vest. As long as there were no issues with his vest, he wouldn’t be discovered again.
If the original Li Ba were still alive, he would probably be quite baffled right now... No, if he heard this news, he would know that this Li Ba from another world had already arrived.
If he really had any hidden weapons, then chances are... he would try to establish contact with himself.
However, whether or not Li Changhe could be of any help remained to be seen.
If that Li Ba came looking for help saying, "Brother, you’ve finally come. Hurry up and join me in overthrowing the false emperor’s rule."
Then Li Changhe could only respond with a stammer.
"Anyway, the next step is to follow the battle group in eliminating these so-called rebels, and then go to the front line." Li Changhe communicated with Yang Dong. "Moreover, not all troops will go to the front line, part of them will be left behind as a defense force against any possible rebels."
"Understood. There’s no big deal if we’re left behind. Actually, we have more staying power if we do. This isn’t all bad news." Yang Dong responded, "My colleagues have all joined the Yuezhou standby battle group. All that’s left is to follow the battle group’s actions. Be careful, there must be many [Players] who sneak into the battle group just like us. Watch out for friend or foe, and don’t attract too much attention."
"Might be difficult," murmured Li Changhe after a moment’s thought. "I have become a personal guard."
Although most people were not aware that Li Changhe had taken down an armored warrior, it would soon be common knowledge. Once the [Players] found out, they would quickly put two and two together.
"Of course I knew that! I already have a bunch of [Players] calling you Brother Dong beside me!" Yang Dong was annoyed by this thought. While it was just a coincidence this time, it felt eerie whenever such coincidences had something to do with Li Changhe.
While Yang Dong and Li Changhe were complaining about this,
Several soldiers not far away were whispering and discussing the situation, occasionally mentioning Yang Dong’s name.
A pass-by soldier overheard them and subtly changed his expression. He quickly went to a corner and met up with his allies.
"Yang Dong? Is it a coincidence? Or is it really that Yang Dong?"
"If it is indeed the Great Wall Yang Dong, it would actually be a good thing for us. We can hitch a ride on his coattails."
"Then isn’t this mission a sure thing? I heard he issued a challenge to the holder of the Sea Clan."
"No, supposedly it was a draw."
"Hmm? I heard he made the Sea Clan’s holder flee with their tail between their legs!"
"The news I received said that Great Wall Yang Dong battered the holder of the Sea Clan while chasing him, almost strangling him to death. The Sea Clan paid a heavy price to escape."
"Holy shit, that’s so awesome? The thigh on this guy is so thick! Should we try to make contact?"
"Absolutely, Yang Dong is always the god!"
