The comrades in the Brotherhood were all giving it their all.
They knew Jiang Chu's character well, and they also knew their own personality well.
Of course, some members were more laid-back and less competitive before joining the Brothers.
However, after arriving at the Brotherhood, they were inspired by Jiang Chu, Huo Xiao and others, and they were all full of fighting spirit and energy every day.
Moreover, their improvement was indeed very rapid.
...
Around noon, Jiang Chu checked the radar and found that they were still about 7 kilometers away from the nearest stronghold.
There was no way around it; compared to the relatively dense strongholds in other occupied territories, the Three Northern Provinces were not friendly, as the strongholds were frequently destroyed by monsters.
Therefore, the place to test the comprehensive strength of postgraduate military personnel is the wilderness area of the Three Northern Provinces.
"Brothers, get ready to cook!" Jiang Chu said.
Although Longdu Army has chefs, Brothers in Arms does not.
Many of the brothers in the band are good cooks, especially the men, who are quite skilled at cooking.
Everyone was hungry, and upon hearing Jiang Chu's words, they all smiled knowingly.
But at that moment, Jiang Chu sensed something unusual.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Chu said.
The members of the Band of Brothers all understood what was going on.
Their senses weren't nearly as sharp as Jiang Chu's, but they could tell from their leader's expression that there was enemy activity ahead.
"Prepare for battle!" Jiang Chu said in a deep voice. "The enemy is very strong, at least a hegemon-level monster!"
Soldiers' combat intelligence is improving, and so is the enemy's.
The bio-monsters are getting harder and harder to fight these days. Many of them, even the lord-level zombies, have extraordinary strength and very few obvious weaknesses.
Therefore, having a commander like Jiang Chu in the team is extremely valuable.
"Get the hell back! Don't rush forward like that!" Jiang Chu yelled from the group. "Do you guys think you're pumpkins?"
Everyone suppressed their smiles, remembering the incredibly fierce and capable company commander from their sophomore year.
That young lady possesses the Berserker God talent, making her incredibly powerful. Her close-combat abilities are like those of a third-tier powerhouse injected with a biochemical enhancement fluid, but in reality, she is only a second-tier powerhouse.
If Jiang Chu used his divine eye to see through the attributes of the bio-monsters, then Luo Xiaonan used his own fists and feet to beat the zombies until they excreted their own excrement.
As the team ventured deeper, they encountered corpses on the ground.
“Boss, these aren’t soldiers from our Xia Kingdom, they’re… from Soko!” Huo Xiao said.
“Boss, there are our soldiers here too!” Cai Wujin said.
Jiang Chu surveyed the surroundings and found dozens of corpses, most of which had been torn into several pieces, demonstrating the enemy's extreme cruelty.
Jiang Chu saw two corpses lying together.
A Xia soldier shielded the Soko soldiers below with his own body; both men had their heads pierced by sharp weapons and died horribly.
Jiang Chu saluted the corpse, his brows furrowing: "These Soko soldiers strayed into our territory and cooperated with our soldiers."
“Yes, you’re right, boss. Soko and we have always had a good relationship,” Chu Yao said.
Soko and Kori are two neighboring countries with very similar languages. They were even one family hundreds of years ago, but differences in religion and political views have caused the two distinct ethnic groups within the country to drift apart.
Thus, a century ago, these two great ethnic groups split the then-"Kingdom of Sori" into two countries.
One is Soco, and the other is Corey.
Seventy years ago, Corey pledged allegiance to the Mika Empire. By introducing Mika Empire's technology, it made its own economy very strong and gradually became an important exporter of electronic products, auto parts and other goods.
Soko and Xia have maintained a good relationship for thousands of years, and even after the split, their relationship remained good.
They focus on cultivating military strength, so their military power is very strong, but their economy is relatively weak.
In the year 789 of the Grand League calendar, which is 36 years ago, a biohazard outbreak caught the country of Corey off guard.
Their electronics industry and economy are relatively developed, but their military is much weaker than Soko's, and their soldiers' combat capabilities and fighting spirit are relatively lower.
So in the ten years before the outbreak of the Resident Evil, Corey was almost wiped out by zombies.
Later, it was the Xia Kingdom that first extended a helping hand, helping Kore reclaim a large area of land.
At that time, Soko's situation was also very bad.
The ruler of Soko immediately sought help from Xia.
The Xia Kingdom dispatched two legions to provide strong support to Soko. After winning several brilliant battles, they finally helped Soko recover most of its territory.
In response, every ruler of Soko since 789 has maintained close ties with the Xia Kingdom, especially the ruler who has only been in power for five years, the 8th-tier soldier king Jin Taiyang.
Jin Taiyang became famous at a young age and is 9 years younger than Luo Fei. They have always referred to each other as brothers.
In contrast, Soko and Corey's relationship has always been tense.
Soko looked down on Kore, and Kore looked down on Soko. The two countries had little to no official exchanges, and even civilian exchanges were extremely rare.
Moreover, the two countries belong to different camps.
Soko has always been in the Qianlong camp, while Corey is a member of the Nicai camp.
This is why Xia Guo's attitude towards Soko and Kore is completely different.
...
"Slow down!" Jiang Chu said in a low voice.
Although he also had a good impression of Soko, Jiang Chu always admitted that he was a sophisticated egoist, and he would only go to rescue people from other countries if the safety of his team was guaranteed.
