"Soldier Jiang Yuan from the 32nd Squad, reporting for duty!"
"Soldier Gu Anlei from the 32nd Squad reporting for duty!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan and Gu Anlei returned to the camp, they felt a strong atmosphere of combat readiness, and there were many more people guarding the area that they had previously been the only ones guarding.
"Your captain has already gone to the front line. Go back and find the deputy captain!" A colonel who was coordinating the troops said in a deep voice after glancing at the troop allocation.
"clear!"
After saluting, the two ran towards the camp of the 32nd Squad.
"You've arrived!" Zhou Chengyun greeted them while looking at the military map with a worried expression.
"Vice Captain, do we have any missions?" Gu Anlei asked.
Zhou Chengyun turned his gaze away from the map and sighed, "Shiyan Pass in the Altai Defense Zone has been occupied by the Holy Spirit Clan. They want to cut off the spiritual energy supply to western China. In less than half a year, Tianshan City behind the Altai Defense Zone will be in trouble, and the seven safe zones in the entire west will also face collapse."
"Shiyan Pass has been occupied?" Gu Anlei turned pale upon hearing this news.
Shiyan Pass is known as one of the ten most dangerous natural barriers in China. Its location is on the main trunk of the world's energy vein, which largely determines the spiritual energy supply of the entire western region.
"The military region has joined forces with the Divine Emperor Family to begin reinforcements towards Shiyan Pass. However, the Holy Spirit Clan is unusually resolute this time. They have amassed a million Holy Spirit troops outside the Altai defense line, along with tens of millions of spirit beasts and other alien races. Judging from this posture, they intend to annex the entire Great Western Region in one fell swoop." Zhou Chengyun looked worried, clearly not expecting the Holy Spirit's offensive to be so sudden.
"Then what can we do?" Jiang Yuan asked.
“The military region and the Divine Emperor Family will not be able to send reinforcements for another three days, so our current task is to wage guerrilla warfare to delay the Holy Spirit’s offensive. At least, in three days, we must still have 30% control over the Altai defense zone!” Zhou Chengyun said this in a very tactful way. In fact, this was already the best outcome they had anticipated. Being able to control 30% would prove that the seven safe zones in the western region would not be disturbed.
"Just us stationed soldiers?" Gu Anlei's expression was not good. As a medic, she understood very well what the start of a war meant for the soldiers.
"For now, yes!" Zhou Chengyun nodded solemnly.
"Then issue the mission, and we'll move out now!" Jiang Yuan was eager to experience the flames of war. He had been silent for too long, so long that no one knew whether the man once known as the Apostle of Hell was dead or alive.
Upon hearing this, Gu Anlei immediately said, "Vice Captain, has Jiang Yuan's application for his unit been approved? He hasn't joined the military network yet, which is not conducive to communication during operations."
"Xiao Gu, it's only been a few days, and you're already taking such good care of Jiang Yuan!"
The tent flap at the camp was pulled open, and Zhang Xiao, dressed in a field uniform, strode in.
"Greetings, Principal Zhang!" Gu Anlei saluted.
"I'm here to help Jiang Yuan resolve his identity issue!" Zhang Xiao gave Gu Anlei a wink, signaling her to relax.
"Soldier Jiang Yuan, please complete your personal file. Once completed, your file will be stored in the Tianqi Military Network, and you will become a member of the 32nd Squad under the Altai Corps of the Western Theater Command of China." Colonel Zhang handed over a piece of paper and a military badge.
As soon as Jiang Yuan received the military badge, various energies began scanning his body from within it.
"Pupil collection in progress!"
DNA collection in progress!
"Fingerprint collection in progress!"
...
A series of identity verification information was recorded in the military badge, and Jiang Yuan also incorporated the information he could reveal into the military badge. This military badge was a small intelligent brain, and it was even artificial intelligence.
"Soldier Jiang Yuan, information collection complete, please take your oath!" A military flag was projected onto the military insignia.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Zhang Xiao and Gu Anlei, both of whom were waiting for him to take his oath.
"Hmph!" Jiang Yuan resisted this oath in his heart because he had paid a heavy price for it.
"The military oath is on paper. Once you complete the final step, you will be a legitimate soldier of China and enjoy all the rights of a Chinese citizen." Zhang Xiao attached great importance to this because Jiang Yuan's identity was indeed questionable.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the oath, then stood at attention, raised his right fist, and solemnly declared, "I swear to be ready for battle at any time, never to betray the army, and to defend China to the death."
He didn't mention absolute obedience to so-and-so earlier, but in this era where the strong are respected, there's no one who can make Jiang Yuan absolutely obedient.
He only obeys his own heart!
"You little rascal, you're good at cheating and being cunning!" Zhang Xiao laughed and scolded when he heard Jiang Yuan only mention the key points.
“That’s enough, isn’t it?” Jiang Yuan countered.
"Alright, these days the new recruits are getting harder and harder to manage. It's really not good to bind you with the old rules!" Zhang Xiao also knew that after the Apocalypse Era, the warriors' faith had taken on a different form, namely, a powerful faith.
"Welcome soldier Jiang Yuan to the military network. I am your military network assistant."
After entering Jiang Yuan's identity into the military network, Jun Zhang even introduced himself before transforming into a stream of light and attempting to enter Jiang Yuan's body, but Jiang Yuan raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry, this is a high-tech chip exclusive to the military network. It's implanted in your body simply to improve communication and won't affect you!" Zhang Xiao explained.
Jiang Yuan used his Insight to examine the inside and outside of the body several times to make sure that the thing would not affect his mind before allowing it to be implanted into his body, and the implantation site was only on the surface of his body.
"Alright, you now have a formal status in the military. The methods for promotion in military ranks are available on the military website. I hope you can reach the rank of senior sergeant soon so you can study at Huasheng Academy!" Colonel Zhang still admired Jiang Yuan. If he was trained well, he could become a pillar of the human race.
