The first time Tang Zhao saw the examination room he was responsible for, he felt it was ordinary.
The environment on the front line is very desolate, similar to the rocky desert in Liangzhou - it is a desert, but the wind is strong, and even the sand has been blown away, leaving only exposed rocks on the surface. It is desolate, with unknown names growing out of the cracks in the rocks. of weeds.
Standing on the plain, with the wind blowing in front of you, the temperature is not hot, but slightly cooler.
It was already dusk at this time, and the temperature dropped sharply every moment. By the time Tang Zhao saw the examiner's camp, he was already breathing heavily from the cold.
The weather here is like this. It's sunny during the day and cold at night. The day and night go from winter to summer, and only the early morning and dusk are slightly comfortable times in the day.
At night, the yin energy gradually becomes heavier, even worse than the misfortune of the moon in the human world. Although the desert is lifeless, there seems to be a rustling sound in the cracks of the rocks and in the caves, which is restless. The hunter is on the move.
People say that every day on the front line brings misfortune, and it is true.
There are only two moons in the sky at night. There is not even a moon in the sky.
In fact, the Woe Moon itself is not a moon, it just looks like a moon, but it is actually a scar on the human world.
The Yin Qi in the human world is from outside, but the Yin Qi in the front line is originally entangled with the Broken Realm, coming out from various gaps in the sky and the earth, and never dissipates all year round.
But there is a saying that the yin energy of Broken Realm is also Broken Realm’s illness, but it is also Broken Realm’s contribution to protecting the world.
The camp is quite large, with several military tents at its core. Two teams are stationed here. There are also two civilians responsible for surveying and processing documents.
After Tang Zhao arrived, two captains from the camp, Zhao and Fei, came out to greet him. Captain Zhao was also a school captain and was the person in charge of this camp.
Tang Zhao was welcomed into the tent, where a map was hung, various signs were painted, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
"Our examination room is the penultimate level. It has two entrances and one exit. After you rush out from here, you will reach the end."
"There is a village here, which belongs to the original residents. It is also the last supply point designed. You can get food and even sleep in it, but it depends on the students' abilities."
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "I remember that this village is really the village of the original residents?"
Captain Zhao said: "Exactly. This is the village protected by our Moyun City."
The residents of the Broken Realm are the same as the people in the human world. Not all of them are like dragons and tigers. Some of them are talented people who are born and raised, and have many adventures. However, most of them are fragile ordinary people, even in the Broken Realm. He suffered from various disasters and his life became even more difficult.
In order to survive and live better, most of the original residents have to defect to various forces and survive under the wings of the strong.
The aboriginal residents have been entangled with Yin energy for a long time. Although they often have different appearances, they are not bad in inspiration. There are some good seeds among them. The big forces also need new blood, tax sources and productivity, so they are also willing to accept the aboriginal residents. .
Qianqian City has its roots in the human world and has little contact with the original residents, but it will not refuse the service of the original residents. The army has also gradually recruited the original residents to join the army.
But after all, the higher-ups come from the human world, and the future of the original residents is not as good as that of other major forces. Under the two-way choice, the relationship between the two parties is not close enough.
This village is a serious original village of indigenous residents. It is not easy to survive in this desert, so you can only find every opportunity. When the Chinese army designated the examination room, they could not avoid them. They considered whether to move them first and let the sergeants pretend to be villagers to complete the examination process. .But in the end it was decided to retain the original residents, which could also test and cultivate young people's ability to deal with local residents.
Captain Zhao pointed at a young man and said: "This Li Lei is a villager in that village. He went to contact him."
Tang Zhao did not expect that there was an aboriginal soldier here. After a closer look, he felt that he looked no different from ordinary soldiers, that is, his hair was slightly curly and his eyes looked very bright under the light.
The young man clasped his fists and said: "The bidder is a villager from Hongshi Village. I have made it clear to my elders according to the order that there is no need to take special care of the candidates. Whether or not to provide help is entirely voluntary. If any candidates are rude, the villagers can drive them away or even take other actions. We will not do anything.
Intervention.”
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "That's what it should be. Dealing with others is part of being a human being. Just dealing with the strange residents here, Xinrui Camp and Jing'an Division probably take advantage."
Needless to say, the rookie battalion spends part of every year training in the Broken Territory. They are considered half-natives, and of course they know how to treat them. The Jing'an Division is active outside all year round, and what they do is to deal with strangers and set up familiar tasks. They have no problem dealing with these. No.
Do you know how the students from the other two divisions are doing?
He is confident that Tang Zhao's student's character is not a problem, but whether he can satisfy the stranger villagers is uncertain, as people's temperaments are different.
Tang Zhao added: "Since I'm here, please take me to visit all the fellow villagers."
Li Lei was startled and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will show you the way. The villagers will definitely welcome you."
Tang Zhao looked at the map again, asked about several important checkpoints, and asked: "The last exit is a mountain pass, isn't it suitable for an ambush?"
Captain Zhao said: "Exactly, this is also the last level. It is suitable for fast-moving candidates to ambush here and attack others."
Tang Zhao nodded, this was specially designed like this.
In fact, to pass the exam, as long as you find your own horse, you can pass directly. There is no need to conflict with other people, but what if you don't find it?
Do you think that you will be taken away by others?
If someone else takes your horse away, where can you find the needle in the haystack? Why not wait until the last joint and wait before the finish line to see who has taken away your horse, take it back and beat the grandson.
Since you haven't found a horse, you can still fight for it if you see a horse held by someone else, and it will count as points.
As you can imagine, this mountain pass is a battleground for military strategists.
"Then we have to arrange our manpower to supervise the conduct of the examination." Tang Zhao thought for a while and said, "Do you have a plan? Tell us about it?"
The captains looked at each other for a moment, thinking that this swordsman was quite easy-going.
Although Tang Zhao is a novice, they are veterans with many years of experience, but the swordsmen are different. If Tang Zhao is all-powerful and wants to assign tasks, there is really nothing they can do.
Unless Tang Zhao's assignment is too outrageous, they can only follow the main command, and at most they can make adjustments in private.
Fortunately, Tang Zhao was self-aware. Captain Zhao pointed out the manpower distribution on the map one by one and said: "As for you, do you want to stay in the camp or sit in the mountain pass?"
The left-behind camp can mediate in the middle to facilitate the overall situation. It is responsible for guarding the dangerous points at the mountain pass, and it also prevents the scale of the final decisive battle from being too large and causing too many casualties.
Tang Zhao muttered: "There are still three or four days before the large force arrives, so I will inspect the examination room first and then make plans."
The several captains had no objections, nor did they say anything about disobedience or criticism. For the frontline soldiers, they saw swordsmen coming and going a lot. Each of them served as a team commander after a short internship, and everyone liked to take the command of the team.
Stab the head for surgery.
These captain-level non-commissioned officers have all served as subordinates of swordsman squads, and are very accustomed to taking orders from stranger swordsmen.
Relatively speaking, Tang Zhao is easy to serve.
Tang Zhao asked again: "How are the preparations for the ferocious beast and the phantom?"
Captain Zhao immediately said: "They are all locked up in the back camp, do you want to take a look?"
Tang Zhao followed Captain Zhao to the back camp.
The so-called back camp is actually underground. Even though the camp above only has a few tents, there is a huge underground cave, which is divided into two caves, where the ferocious beasts and the phantoms are imprisoned respectively.
There are very few ferocious beasts and phantoms in the safe area. In order to meet the needs of the exam, some ferocious beasts and phantoms must be artificially put in.
"The Yin Qi is isolated under the ground, and the ferocious beasts lose their vitality, but once they are released, the ferocious beasts will quickly become active, and these two days are when the Yin Qi is at its strongest, and the ferocious beasts will grow in strength. You decide when
If you release it early, you will be stronger when the time comes. If you release it later, it will be beneficial to the students."
Tang Zhao pondered: "If we release it too early, what should we do if it endangers the residents of that village?"
Captain Zhao was startled, and then said: "That's not possible. These ferocious beasts are not at the level of demons, and the formations of Hongshi Village can definitely defend against them."
Tang Zhao said: "Where is the Phantom? Will it attack the villagers?"
Captain Zhao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the formations are all complete. And those phantoms are implanted with lock cylinders, so you can know their location. If they harass the villagers or get out of control, you can kill them at will."
.”
Tang Zhao said: "That's good. And there is such a talisman technology?"
Captain Zhao said: "This is a technology that our frontline forces have, otherwise these phantoms would have been out of control. Furthermore, the phantoms have also received orders. As long as they complete the task in the exam, they can be released. They have been saved."
I don’t want to mess around if I count on it.”
Tang Zhao knew that the phantom was the spirit form of the demon. Just like the spirit form of the spirit official, it was conscious. The phantom in the human world had the intention of never returning and could hardly communicate. It seemed that this was not the case on the front line. Both sides
It can actually be traded.
He couldn't help but take a closer look at the phantom in the cage, and found that he could see it more clearly than in the human world.
When he looked, one of the phantoms looked over at the same time, and their eyes met.
Tang Zhao saw the unusual spirituality in those eyes, which were no different from those of humans.
They can really communicate.
Tang Zhao had no intention of exploring. Business was important. If he was interested, he could naturally capture Phantom and study it. The two sides were enemies, not friends, so there was no need to be polite. He said, "Okay, let them out soon. The same goes for Phantom, let them all out."
In fact, just a few days apart, how much difference in strength the ferocious beasts have? But Tang Zhao decided to go to the examination room tomorrow to inspect, to see how ferocious these ferocious beasts and phantoms are. If they are all under control, then of course there is no problem, really.
Those who are out of control can be removed directly. He must give himself time.
Captain Zhao received the order, and the two sides discussed some details of the exam, and then returned to camp to rest.
The next day, Tang Zhao got up early and went to inspect the examination room.
