Chapter 1209 The First Battle of Xing Lin
After breakfast, Jiang Xiao was called over by Er Wei. He originally thought it was another meeting and wasn't very interested, but he didn't expect this meeting to be quite important - it was about a mission!
The attendees included not only Er Wei, Jiang Xiao, and Yi Zhizhong, but also the commanders and deputy commanders of the three regiments.
The first regiment's Sickle Scale, Xie Donglin, and deputy commander Xia Yan.
The second regiment's Great Emperor, Xuan Yuan Hengyu, and deputy commander Yi Qingchen.
The third regiment's Grand Scribe, Fu Hei, and deputy commander Gu Shi'an.
The meeting room was full of talent. The officers and soldiers sat at the table, watching the projection screen descend from the front of the platform in the dimly lit room.
Next to the projection screen on the platform, Tian Gou held a pointer in his hand, silent, obviously waiting for Er Wei's orders.
Er Wei looked around, checked everyone's mental state, and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "The Xing Lin Army has assembled, but clearly, we don't have more time to train in the camp. The situation outside is critical, so we can only use war as training.
My superiors have given the order that the Xing Lin Army will be the fifth batch of troops sent out for assistance.
We will fully cooperate with the World United Star Warrior Association to provide targeted assistance to three special areas."
As he spoke, Er Wei slightly raised his head towards Tian Gou on the platform.
Tian Gou held a remote control in his left hand, pressed a button, and a world map appeared on the projection screen. Three areas were circled with red lines on the map.
When it came to world geography, if Jiang Xiao claimed second, no one would dare claim first!
The first red circle encompassed Eastern Europe, primarily the Hung Empire, and included the territory of surrounding countries.
The second red circle was in Northwest Africa, centered on the Sahara Desert and encompassing several countries in Northwest Africa.
The third red circle was in South America, the Ba Federation Republic.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but grin and said, "So we really are a world-maintaining team, huh? What's the meaning of this? Are we going to perform tasks one by one, or fight on three fronts simultaneously?"
Er Wei: "Simultaneously."
Yi Zhizhong looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "There is a special situation that I want to explain in advance. It will be difficult for all three regiments to gather together when we are carrying out missions abroad."
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why?"
Yi Zhizhong patiently explained, "Although we are providing assistance to specific areas, helping them clear Star Beasts and maintain social order, the number of troops we can send is limited."
Jiang Xiao: "???"
Are they used to being indulged?
I'm helping you, and you're making demands, limiting the number of people I can send to help you?
Damn it, we have so few people ourselves, what happens if we encounter danger? Who will help us?
For a moment, Jiang Xiao suddenly recalled a few years ago when he was an apprentice pioneer soldier and went to the northern part of the peninsula to carry out a mission. As a rescue force, the pioneer army's expeditionary force was also subject to strict numerical restrictions.
Yi Zhizhong continued, "These are the rules set by the Earth United Star Warrior Association. You have to understand that the troops we send to rescue various regions of the world are powerful Star Warriors, so it's only right that the number is limited.
That's how it is for us, and it's the same for rescue forces from other countries."
"Mm," Jiang Xiao nodded dismissively. Limited numbers?
What's the point? I'm worth a hundred Star Warriors on my own. Did you take that into account?
If I really had any ulterior motives, hehe...
"Tian Gou," Er Wei said.
Tian Gou picked up the pointer and circled the northwestern part of the African continent, half of the Sahara Desert, and said, "The population in this area is sparse, and it has now become a place where various Star Beasts gather. This has seriously affected the lives and safety of the people in the surrounding countries, as well as social order.
The Star Beast data for this area is on the table in front of you, you can check it yourselves.
What you should pay special attention to is a Star Beast called the Gap Phantom (Xijian Yao) in this area. Its body is made of yellow sand and is almost immune to physical attacks. It also possesses high-quality spatial-type Star Techniques such as teleportation, making it very tricky."
The "Space-Time Boundary Zone" in the Sahara is one of the few places on Earth where teleportation and transmission-type spatial Star Techniques are produced.
Er Wei looked at everyone and said, "Grand Scribe."
Fu Hei felt bitter in his heart, the Sahara Desert!?
I just arrived at the Xing Lin Army, and you're sending me to eat sand?
But Fu Hei didn't show it. Instead, he stood up straight and said, "Present!"
Er Wei said, "You and Liu Wei will take the Third Regiment there. I'll assign San Wei to you to deal with that tricky Gap Phantom (Xijian Yao)."
"Yes!" Fu Hei's response was powerful and sonorous. He breathed a sigh of relief. With Goddess San Wei around, there was no problem!
What about spatial Star Beasts? Great God San Wei specializes in countering them!
It seems... well, as a control-type Law God in the Star Completion Stage, she counters all living things...
Seeing Fu Hei's reaction, Er Wei nodded with satisfaction, then suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Yi Zhizhong.
Yi Zhizhong smiled and nodded, without refuting anything.
Er Wei was the commander-in-chief when it came to deploying troops.
Beside him, Jiang Xiao said, "I'll go with Grand Scribe. I took a look, and this is the most dangerous of the three areas."
Er Wei shook his head and said, "You have a special mission."
Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. "Oh?"
Was there a more difficult task than eliminating spatial creatures?
Jiang Xiao immediately stopped talking, his heart full of anticipation.
At Er Wei's suggestion, Tian Gou pointed the pointer at the Ba Federation Republic in South America on the screen and said, "The situation in the entire Ba Federation is not very good. With the emergence of this crisis of Earth merging with another world, the Ba Federation is somewhat not acting like a country should."
Jiang Xiao was immediately stunned.
It depends on who says that!
If Fu Hei said it, it would be a complaint or a joke, and Jiang Xiao wouldn't care.
But when Tian Gou says "not acting like a country should," then the Ba Federation must be terminally ill!
Tian Gou continued, "The problem here is very complicated. Not only is there the Star Beast chaos, but there is also a fierce conflict between the upper class and the lower class within the Ba Federation.
Strictly speaking, since the emergence of the merging phenomenon until today, many gang forces in the Ba Federation have risen sharply, taken over a considerable portion of the country's territory, and become independent."
Jiang Xiao felt like he was listening to a fairy tale! Gangs establishing themselves as kings? Standing up to the country!? Am I dreaming?
But that's how the Ba Federation is right now. Under the abnormal social development, no one cares about the life or death of the people at the bottom.
It was like this on weekdays, and it was even more so after the otherworldly fusion and the arrival of the Star Beasts.
Alright, if you in the upper class don't care about or pay attention to the people at the bottom, then our gangs will take over what you don't care about, we'll take care of it!
Er Wei: "Great Emperor."
"Present!" Along with the voice, a mighty strong man stood up. He was more than two meters tall, and his serious, square face gave off a sense of dignity, worthy of being called magnificent.
Yi Qingchen wasn't a petite girl, but she sat next to Xuan Yuan Hengyu, giving her a particularly petite feeling.
Er Wei said, "You and Wu Wei will lead the Xing Lin Second Regiment to carry out a mission in the Ba Federation. The power structure in this area is complex and the situation is particularly special. I will personally supervise the army and go with you."
As he spoke, Er Wei turned to look at Yi Zhizhong and said, "I'll lead the team on the expedition, and Yi Zhengwei will be stationed at Xing Lin headquarters."
Yi Zhizhong nodded in agreement. The situation in the Ba Federation region was indeed somewhat special. The most terrifying thing there wasn't the Star Beasts, but the people.
Everyone knew what the real black industry in the Ba Federation was. Carelessness could easily offend many people, many forces, and even the interests of many countries.
Beside him, Xia Yan stared closely at the Hung Empire in Eastern Europe. As expected, the Xing Lin First Regiment was going there.
"Hung Empire in Eastern Europe." Tian Gou pointed the pointer at the screen and said, "Because the development here was good before, the people's awareness is relatively high, and there are also more demands..."
Xia Yan's expression was strange. "What do you mean?"
Tian Gou said, "The people here demand rights."
Xia Yan said, "They're demanding them, what's wrong with that?"
Tian Gou shrugged helplessly and said, "They not only demand the rights of citizens, but also advocate the rights of Star Beasts."
Xia Yan: "???"
Tian Gou said, "You can look at the information on the table. The creatures in this area are very similar to humans, and their external image is very good, which does easily arouse people's goodwill."
Xia Yan picked up the information sheet in front of her and flipped through a few pages, her eyes even shining with little stars!
It was a pure white, tall horse, but its mane was the color of a rainbow, and in the picture, this rainbow horse was really running towards the sky, stepping on a rainbow...
Xia Yan licked her lips and flipped to the next page, but saw a "human"?
This man was obviously white, with delicate features and brown curly hair, no different from humans, except for those eyes, which were the color of a rainbow, as dreamy as a rainbow.
Including the greatsword he held in his hand, surrounded by the starlight, was also colorful, even beautiful.
This was just the Rainbow Swordsman. When Xia Yan flipped further back and saw the Rainbow Archer, she was completely stunned.
This woman was even more beautiful than Xia Yan...
Except for a pair of rainbow-colored eyes, the other parts of her body were no different from humans.
Jiang Xiao didn't bother to flip through the information, because he knew what the Hung Empire produced - slaves.
Yes, you heard that right, it produced slaves.
At the same time, it also produced an ideology - a regression of civilization.
When Jiang Xiao participated in the European Elite Star Pet Master Invitational Tournament, he not only knew that European nobles liked to throw a few Sea Soul Fish Demons into their aquariums.
Jiang Xiao also knew that the Rainbow Swordsmen and Rainbow Archers of the Hung Empire were also quite popular.
However, in the past, the rainbow-type humanoid Star Beasts produced in the lower dimensions on Earth were too low in intelligence, and were naturally irritable and easily angered, requiring particularly extreme methods to tame them.
But the matter of taming slaves could not be brought to the table. Just like keeping Sea Soul Fish Demons in captivity at home, these were the luxurious lives of European nobles and would not be publicized.
And now, the rainbow creatures from another world have arrived. If they have higher intelligence, that would indeed form a unique racial civilization.
Tian Gou continued, "In the European continent, this advocacy of Star Beast rights has not been a matter of a day or two. In the past, when Earth and the other world had not merged, there had always been such voices, and the calls were not small.
And now, the rainbow race of the other world is much closer to humans than the rainbow race of the lower dimensions, and also has its own racial culture.
This has also led many citizens in the European continent, and even their own citizens of the Hung Empire, to call for a ban on the killing of rainbow Star Beasts..."
Jiang Xiao: ""
Awesome.
