Chapter 25 Blood Slave
The location of this mission is in another lower continent. The content is very simple. There is a small border town occupied by the vampires. Because there was a secret research base of the empire near that small town, after the local garrison failed to attack the small town twice, the military headquarters decisively dispatched the Red Scorpions.
In this battle, the Red Scorpions mobilized an entire company, a total of one hundred Black Scorpion-level warriors, led by three Red Scorpions. In addition, including Qianye, there were fifty rookies accompanying him.
In the county where the small town belongs, tens of thousands of local troops have also been mobilized to cooperate with Red Scorpion's actions. This is a truly large-scale battle, and many rookies are very excited from the beginning of preparations.
Qianye boarded a star-class aerospace craft that could shuttle between continents, and after five days of non-stop flight, he arrived at the target area.
Qianye followed the large army and jumped off the aerospace craft, then boarded the truck that had been waiting for them and headed towards the predetermined position.
As for the attack plan, it was incredibly simple: divide the troops into three groups, attack the city directly, and kill any resisters on the spot. And then...and then nothing.
The running of the trucks was still so wild and noisy. A whole convoy of giant wheels roared past the wasteland, just like the galloping of a herd of prehistoric mammoths.
Qianye sat on the truck, holding the Force rifle in his arms. Following the rhythm of the truck bouncing up and down for more than one meter, his body swayed slightly to maintain balance. Now he is very accustomed to riding on these black stone steam-powered machines, and he can even take a short errand and so on.
He did not check the firearms over and over again as excitedly as other rookies, but began to recall the vampire information.
The Vampires are one of the most important races among the dark races, and humans also call them vampires. The appearance of real vampires is highly similar to that of humans. They are all extraordinary elegant and handsome, with looks that are difficult for humans to match.
They have a long life and great power. Theoretically, a vampire who reaches the Duke level can live for more than a thousand years. Normally, they can also choose to sleep for a long time, during which the vampire's vitality drains extremely slowly. It is said that there is still a terrifying existence deep in the territory of the vampires that has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years!
The Vampires are extremely dangerous, they have great strength and excellent speed, and they are also very intelligent.
The Force Gun was originally an invention of the human race to make up for the lack of Force strength. Later, the manufacturing method was stolen by the Dark Race, who also specialized in developing Force Guns driven by the Dark Force. Among them, the force guns made by the Vampires are the most exquisite and luxurious, and are extremely popular among the upper class of the human race. A force gun made by the Vampires can often be sold for a sky-high price.
Finally, there is the unique inheritance method of the blood clan. They can reproduce with members of the same race, or they can inject their original essence and blood into humans through a ritual called 'First Embrace', thereby transforming humans into vampires. At the same time, human blood is the vampire's favorite delicacy.
Therefore, the blood race and the human race have the deepest understanding of each other. When the dark race initially ruled the entire world, the blood race supported the most humans. A large number of humans were kept in captivity to provide blood for the vampires. In the eyes of vampires, humans are no different from domestic animals such as pigs and sheep.
Whether in the Underworld training camp or in the Red Scorpion, Qianye had killed vampires. However, those were not real vampire warriors, and they were not many in number. They were also restricted by the shackles of the Force, and could only disperse and move around in the examination area.
This time is different. This is a head-on war with the vampires.
As the truck was moving, the veterans on the truck gave each rookie three special sterling silver force bombs.
This kind of force bomb is a physical bomb that can be pressed into the magazine of the force gun for use. Empty cartridge cases can be either industrially produced or hand-made, but only level three and above warriors can infuse the Force into them to form a complete Force-powered physical bomb.
These three silver bullets have additional killing effects on vampires. The reason why only three were fired was because these were all rookies of the second-level combatants. Even if they were given a hundred force bombs, they would only be able to activate the force gun and fire it three times in a battle.
The rookies silently pressed silver bullets into their rifles and waited for the battle to begin.
The heavy-duty truck rushed directly to the city two hundred meters away from the small town! Roaring to a halt, the vehicles lined up end to end in a long serpentine formation, which could serve as both a roadblock and an excellent bunker.
Someone on the city wall started shooting at the truck with an old-fashioned gunpowder firearm, but the metal bullets could not penetrate the one centimeter thick steel plate. The veterans of the Black Scorpion level began to fight back, firing force bombs at the top of the city, blasting the city walls and shooters into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the firepower on the city wall was suppressed. Qianye and the other rookies immediately jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards the small town at full speed under the leadership of the veterans.
The battle was easier than expected. The Red Scorpion-level captain strode forward. As long as the vampire warriors showed their heads, a silver bullet would follow them.
The captain of the Red Scorpion fired every shot and only picked high-level Vampire warriors to attack, while ordinary Vampires ignored them and threw them all to his subordinates. The black scorpion-level warriors will screen again, kill most of the vampires released by the captain, and leave a few for the rookies to practice.
Qianye raised his hand and his Force rifle trembled. His live target performance had always been perfect, and this time was no exception. The silver Force bullet came out of the barrel and opened a big hole in the forehead of a vampire. White smoke immediately emitted from the wound, and the flesh and blood were burnt black, as if it had been burned by strong acid.
This vampire has stood still, and two more blood flowers bloomed on his body. It turns out that the two rookies couldn't hold back and shot expensive silver bullets at the dead vampire. Of course they won't get any military merit points.
Qianye's rifle moved quickly, and immediately fired another shot after moving into position, knocking a vampire warrior who had just appeared in the distance off the roof. Just a few seconds later, Qianye's rifle roared again, and another vampire warrior fell down with a howl.
Among the rookies, Qianye's performance was extremely eye-catching. He killed three vampire warriors with three shots, and his record was catching up with the Black Scorpion-level veterans!
Now that he has set foot on a real battlefield, Qianye deeply understands the difference of the Huangquan training camp.
Nine years of brutal training between life and death had made his combat response an instinctive part of his body. In almost any situation, Qianye will make the most correct response and seize the fleeting opportunity to strike back fiercely.
The original intention of Huangquan training camp is to train the top killers, so the fighting style emphasizes staying still and killing with one strike. As long as Qianye gets the chance to counterattack, the enemy will almost certainly die.
So when it came to the battlefield, Qianye began to shine, and his performance far exceeded the strength data on paper. Not only can it suppress the vast majority of rookies, but even the performance of many Black Scorpion veterans is inferior!
This is the true style of Huangquan graduates!
There were hundreds of vampire warriors in the small city, and it looked like a small clan invasion. The local legion once mobilized tens of thousands of troops and launched two strong attacks, losing nearly 10,000 soldiers but gaining nothing.
However, when the Red Scorpion Legion joined the battle, they immediately advanced the front line like a raging enemy. It didn't take long to capture all the key points in the city. Most of the vampire warriors were killed on the spot, and not a single one was able to escape.
This war made Qianye understand why the Red Scorpion Legion, which had just 10,000 regular soldiers, had as many as 200,000 support personnel at various bases. The combat strength of a company of Red Scorpions is equivalent to tens of thousands of regular Imperial troops. Compared with local troops, the difference in combat power is even greater.
The Empire has always been pragmatic, even to the point of being ruthless. The level of combat power directly determines the level of treatment of the legion. This is a different kind of fairness. Heroes are judged based on their strength. As for the number of people, it has never been something that needs to be considered.
After occupying the small town, a scene that shocked Qianye occurred.
Thousands of people suddenly poured out from several buildings, and they rushed towards the Red Scorpion and the Empire soldiers madly . All that swayed in their field of vision were dull eyes, white teeth, and purple-black lips. These people have completely lost their minds and turned into beasts that only recognize fresh flesh and blood!
The Red Scorpion warriors seemed to have expected it. They calmly put away their Force guns and used gunpowder firearms instead. For a while, various machine guns, automatic rifles and even machine cannons kept roaring, and the metal storm formed continued to blast the people who were rushing up. Those crazy crowds tore it apart!
Many of the people who rushed over were wearing quite complete uniforms of the Empire's local legions. They were the soldiers who were trapped in the city during the attack a few days ago!
Most of the local army soldiers who followed the Red Scorpion Legion into the city stopped in shock, but the Red Scorpion soldiers remained unmoved, harvesting lives coldly and efficiently!
"No! Stop, that's my brother!" A young soldier from the local army suddenly shouted, rushing towards a Red Scorpion captain, reaching out to hug his waist, trying to stop him from shooting.
But Captain Red Scorpion just turned slightly, knocking him to the ground, and then pulled the trigger, beating a local army soldier who looked like a mad beast from the opposite side into a sieve.
"You killed my brother! I...I'm going to kill you!" The young soldier yelled angrily and pointed his gun at the Red Scorpion captain.
A cold light flashed in Captain Red Scorpion's eyes, and he pulled out his pistol like lightning, blowing away half of the young soldier's head with one shot!
Captain Red Scorpion glanced at the local army soldiers and said coldly: "Are you also planning to rebel?"
The local army soldiers all had fear on their faces and immediately denied it.
"Then attack quickly! Those guys are no longer human beings, they are blood slaves!" Captain Red Scorpion shouted sternly. As he spoke, the machine cannon with the flat end in his hand was raised, and the black metal tube was pointed at them.
Under the threat of Captain Red Scorpion's gun, the soldiers of the local army finally picked up their weapons and started shooting cautiously. Their number was dozens of times that of the Red Scorpion Army, and their volleys and barrages were quite impressive. In the blink of an eye, they shot down the crazy crowd who only knew how to attack.
Captain Red Scorpion nodded with satisfaction, then raised his right fist and shouted loudly: "Attention everyone! Now start moving freely and kill everyone in this city! Repeat, kill everyone, whether old people, women or... Child!"
This order immediately shocked Qianye. In his mind, it was natural to kill soldiers and adult men, but why did he attack the elderly, women and children?
But whether in Underworld or Red Scorpion, obeying orders is the first military rule.
Qianye put the Force rifle behind his back, picked up the spare automatic rifle, and walked into the city alleys to start searching.
He had just turned an intersection when suddenly a young man ran out of a gate at the corner in front of him.
