17, Chapter Seventeen(1/2)

For sixty days, the person in charge of the academy arranged for food and accommodation. There were very few recruits, and almost all of them looked nervous. They arrived at the Battle Star City from all over the country. At first, no one dared to speak, let alone move around. For fear of something serious.

Rigorous training.

The result was unexpectedly relaxing. The teacher who came to class looked like he was not a regular teacher at all, but an alien who was dozing with mucus all over his body.

A few days ago, I talked about the history of Liexing. Liexing was founded in the 3300th year of the Light Era. It was originally a group of aliens who came to the Ares Galaxy. This group of people can be traced back to the ancient human era.

The ancestors of Liexing were a group of criminals, including soldiers who participated in the revolution and ultimately failed. They killed the captain during the escort and left the constraints of the interstellar community.

At that time, the Republic and the Empire had not yet been divided. They were collectively called the interstellar community. There were too many areas in the universe that had not been explored, the order was in chaos, and the starry sky gate had not yet established perfect nodes and networks. Human lifespan was less than one year.

Hundreds of years, so the greeting "I wish you a long life" has been passed down. Until the common life span reaches more than a hundred years, mercenaries are still used to congratulating each other with this sentence - perhaps "hundred years" has become "a hundred years".

The virtual concept of "May you have a long and peaceful life".

This part of the revolutionary army settled down on Liexing and organized an armed resistance alliance. In addition to adhering to the original revolutionary ideas, they also gradually formed their own political power.

The God of War galaxy more than 10,000 years ago was a no-no-no zone in the universe. Interstellar drug trade, arms smuggling, murder and money laundering often used this place as a transit point. Over time, a black market for hiring murderers was formed, which lasted for thousands of years.

After a long period of evolution, the first generation of revolutionary troops and their descendants have died of old age on this planet, and new mercenary organizations have emerged to replace the armed resistance alliance and become the main force on this planet.

Most of them are composed of interstellar refugees, many of whom are fugitives and desperadoes. In order to avoid being wanted by the interstellar community, they came to the Ares Galaxy to work as mercenaries, accepting commissions from all over the universe to complete tasks.

Gradually, the Ares Galaxy became synonymous with mercenaries. After participating in a civil war in the interstellar community, in Light Era 11207, the Milky Way and the Lion Galaxy split, and the Republic and the Empire came to their respective stages.

The mercenary force of the Ares Galaxy played an extremely important role in this civil war, and after the civil war ended, it became an independent intermediate force.

At this time, Liexing was still in chaos. The quality of the mercenaries varied, and there were nearly 100 million of them. They interfered in the internal affairs of the country, massacred the rebels on the weak planets, bought and sold arms privately, gathered to fight and cause trouble, and elected the strongest to become the leader.

and split into multiple factions.

Until the first mercenary king appeared, he unified the fragmented regime with thunderous means and established the mercenary union's presidium system.

The mercenary king formulated the Constitution of the Star and retired from the scene.

From then on, the mercenary country operated in an orderly manner according to its regulations. The mercenary king became the spiritual leader of the entire galaxy. After several revolutions, conflicts with the empire and the republic, one even broke out a desperate war.

In the end, the new mercenary king Azeroth led the mercenaries to a beautiful victory. After the Republic withdrew its troops, the Star Alliance established a new convention-the mercenary country was no longer allowed to take in prisoners and smugglers from other galaxies.

In exchange, the Empire and the Republic recognized the independent status of the Ares Galaxy.

The consequences of this condition are huge. Death row prisoners, life imprisonment prisoners, stowaways, pirates and others are the main sources of soldiers in the mercenary country. In this way, they have been reduced by nearly...

Opal felt dizzy after hearing this, lamenting the history of this galaxy.

The people next to him had expressionless faces and looked impatient.

"Azeroth is a very courageous person." Opal said.

"I knew it earlier." The classmate next to him said helplessly: "This is all junior high school content. Didn't you pay attention to the class?"

Opal shook his head and said, "I have never studied."

The classmates looked at him strangely. Opal actually knew this period of history and had seen it on Rector's chip a long time ago. But it was far less shocking than when he was listening to the lecture.

It was time for get out of class to end, and the alien teacher, who looked sleepy and covered in mucus, was still talking about history slowly.

"Stop dragging the class!" the students shouted.

"Teacher! I wish you a long life!" Another student shouted, causing a burst of laughter.

The long-lived Pleiades creatures are like snails, dragging out mucus and leaving slowly. They are all mucus creatures, with brain neurons spread all over the body. They can store a lot of information, but their thinking speed is very slow, just like a computer memory.

Opal said: "Mushu, let's have lunch together."

His deskmate stood up, stretched and nodded.

"They can actually show holographic movies." Opal's deskmate Mu Shu said to him: "I don't know what education is. In the past, when we were in Nvluoxing, we just stayed at home and watched holographic projections..."

Opal said: "I think this education method is good, at least it can allow students to get to know each other."

"Maybe." Mu Shu is a young man much older than Opal. He is very poor in the female Luo Xing's family and has six younger brothers to support. With no way out, he boarded an interstellar voyage ship and came to the God of War.

Try your luck in the galaxy. This reminds Opal of his former friend Aman on B-11.

They left the building in a small disk, flew over the large square in the central area of ​​the City of Fighting Souls, and went to eat snacks in front of the Mercenary Theater. They had to eat four meals and sleep for twelve hours during the thirty-six-hour day. Opal just started

It was very uncomfortable at first. It took a day to gradually adjust to it.

There are many alien races in the City of War Spirits, and many intergalactic clients are willing to come here in person to entrust them. The mercenary union in the main city will receive them seriously and give an appropriate evaluation of the task remuneration.

"That guy looks really weird." Mu Shu said, "How much can he eat in one meal?"

Opal and Mu Shu put their arms around each other and walked through the theater garden to find a food stall. Their eyes rested on a huge furry ball in the center of the garden, which was as tall as a person.

Human beings are the most prosperous race in the universe. Although they are intelligent beings with a basic life span of only two hundred years, their genes have very strong reproductive capabilities. In addition, advanced science and technology have allowed human life to extend almost without limit. This has led to

Humans have become the largest race in the interstellar world. Nearly 80% of the citizens of the Mercenary Country are humans. As a registered member of the Star Alliance, anti-racial discrimination laws also apply here.

Opal said: "Is it planning to eat the whole street? Its mouth looks quite big and sharp."

The huge fur ball squatted in front of the food stall and opened its mouth, showing its sharp white teeth. The boss shouted: "Don't come over! You didn't pay! Otherwise I will call the police!"

"Where is your mother?" Mu Shu went over and patted it: "This is not good, kid..."

The fur ball swallowed Mu Shu in one gulp.

Suddenly there were screams everywhere, and the bosses turned blue and ran away shouting.

Opal's expression changed with horror, and she shouted loudly: "What's going on! Mu Shu!"

He immediately opened Maoqiu's mouth subconsciously, and Maoqiu burst into laughter, spitting Mu Shu out again.

"Don't bully my pet!" the woman's voice screamed: "Go! Ta-ta!"

The furball jumped and followed the woman.

Mu Shu's body was covered with wet saliva, and Opal burst into laughter.

"I really hate these rich people who keep pets without leashes!" Mu Shu was still wiping his hair during class in the afternoon.

Opal said sympathetically: "She may think that this kind of large pet has a good temper and will not eat people...Racial discrimination is bad. Like the teacher said, we must accept other intelligent life species from the bottom of our hearts.

To help you carry out missions in outer galaxies..."

The class fell silent, the history class was over, and the next step was the combat class.

Someone came into the classroom, and the recruits stood in an empty classroom, all solemn and silent.

"Hello, fellow recruits, my name is Gray Wolf." The new teacher is a normal human being wearing a jacket. I finally have a reliable teacher.

Wearing only a jacket on his upper body, his chest, lower abdomen, and chest muscles were covered with scars, and there was a mark of injury on his face. With a cold tone, he began to give them combat lessons.

First came the theory, then the practical process. Opal learned many combat skills from Rector. Rector had already taught him once when he stayed on the B-11 star, but the theory was more profound than what the Gray Wolf instructor said.

, more thorough.

"To become a junior mercenary," Gray Wolf said, "you must choose a weapon that is handy. You cannot fight the enemy empty-handed. I found that many of you have your own weapons.

People who know the basic fighting methods but don’t have weapons yet need to take a test to choose a suitable weapon.”

Opal had a mechanical sword and could have avoided participating in the test, but he couldn't help but follow seventeen new recruits for the weapon test.

The instructor did not let him leave and patiently watched them choose weapons.

Guns, swords, mechanical axes, long-handled photon cutters, etc. are arranged in order. Hundreds of weapons that can be named or cannot be named are dizzying. The students participating in the test tried them one by one and used the weapons in their hands to attack the virtual training dummy.

Create three damage, score and average the effect.

Opal tried it one by one, while the instructor supervised behind their team.

"Who gave you your mechanical sword?" Instructor Gray Wolf asked.

Opal said: "My...a first teacher."

The instructor nodded without comment. Opal tried to use a light energy boomerang and hit the dummy when he threw it. The score was 7.9 and asked: "How is my weapon?"

The instructor said: "Try it, maybe there is something more suitable for you. This is the scoring system of the Imperial Military Academy. It is not calculated entirely based on the damage you cause, but also based on your body reaction, grip strength and posture when using the weapon for the first time.

, the reaction of every muscle in the body, etc., to give a comprehensive evaluation of the fit.”

Opal said: "This is not how he tried it when he asked me to choose a weapon."

Gray Wolf said in an interesting tone: "How to try it?"

Opal said: "He asked me to look at twelve weapons and feel which one was speaking to me..."

Gray Wolf laughed and said with a smile: "Interesting, I have never heard of such a plan."

Opal knew he couldn't understand, so he tried it one by one, and finally said: "I still use the mechanical sword."

Gray Wolf didn't force him. The two of them stood aside and watched the students try out the weapons. Opal couldn't help but wonder: "Why are there only so many newcomers in the entire Liexing?"

Gray Wolf said: "This class is taught in a cyclical manner. You can learn as you come. You can come and listen to the class at any time. But in recent years, there have been really few people. There are not many people willing to be mercenaries, especially on a planet where the political stance is obviously towards the North."

The empire is tilted and there is a possibility of war with the forces led by Coralin."

Opal nodded, and Gray Wolf said calmly: "Do you like this planet? What do you think of it?"

Opal said: "At the moment... it's really not very..."

Gray Wolf laughed and said: "Lièxing is a place full of masculine power. We welcome every fighting partner."

Opal nodded and said, "I hope I can blend in here."

Opal found that he was gradually able to accept the ideas of the people here. After all, this was the first planet he set foot on after leaving his hometown. The mercenaries of Liexing were still very friendly, and they seemed to have a sense of being seniors.

, or it may be the subconscious protection among peers, trying their best to prevent each new member from being scared away - of course the reason for being scared away may come from themselves.

After selecting the weapon, Gray Wolf left and replaced another female instructor to start teaching. They fought in pairs. Although the practice weapon was not fatal, it was very painful after one shot. It took nearly a week.

The new recruits are practicing endlessly. For Opal, the mechanical sword is already used by heart. He and Mu Shu team up and almost become Mu Shu's training instructor.

Until the two magnetic storms pass, the weapons training course cycle ends.
To be continued...
