Chapter 394: Soldiers Without Combat Experience

No. 8 Position, Legion 35.

"Lao Du, is this your child? Looks like he's over a year old, right?" A Reserve Army soldier wearing a khaki uniform looked at the fortifications in front of him, then turned his head to find his comrade-in-arms looking at a photo of a child.

"That's right, Lao Li. This is the reason I joined the Reserve Army. The great Emperor appeared before us and saved the crumbling Human Civilization. My wife was saved by Lord Vulcan Vulkan during that catastrophe, which is how my child was kept safe."

"Later, we learned of the sins committed by the previous high-level officials; they were in cahoots, speaking of the greater cause of humanity while doing despicable things."

"So, in order for my child to not have to fight desperately to defend against the Alien Race once he grows up, I, as a father, must follow the Emperor and drive all those aliens out!"

Lao Du tucked the photo back into his uniform and said to Lao Li with deep emotion.

"Alright, aren't we all soldiers now to follow the Emperor and drive the Alien Race out of our homeland?"

Lao Li patted Lao Du on the shoulder, his gaze looking toward the distant, dust-filled land. In the territory of the Zerg, no plants or animals could escape the fate of being absorbed, which also made the Zerg territory filled with flying dust everywhere.

"Lao Du, Lao Li, how are the preparations going? The Emperor's Vitrian Dragoons and Modian Iron Guard are already prepared, just waiting for the Alien Race to come so we can let them sleep forever in this land."

Seeing this, Lao Li stood at attention and saluted the person who had arrived.

"Squad Leader Fu! We are fully prepared! We can join the battle against the Alien Race at any time!"

"Me too!"

"That's good, always maintain Loyalty and vigilance."

After hearing Squad Leader Fu's words, Lao Li and Lao Du immediately saluted and replied.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Squad Leader Fu was about to leave, Lao Li hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"By the way, Squad Leader Fu, isn't the Modian Iron Guard responsible for maintaining order in the Outer City? Why have they come here too?"

Upon hearing Lao Li say this, Squad Leader Fu pursed his lips before answering.

"Lao Li, maintaining order is the Emperor's will. Wouldn't the Emperor have the Modian Iron Guard detach a portion to defend against the Alien Race? Their strength is formidable!"

Lao Du also nodded at this time and said.

"That's right, those Modian soldiers killed quite a few Demons when they encountered a Demon attack in the Outer City before!"

"I know that. I just mean, with them coming here, we feel much more at ease."

Lao Li smiled and said to the two of them.

Just then, some unusual sounds appeared on the position.

"Look! Fog has risen in the direction of the Alien Race!"

The three of them looked into the distance and saw thick fog spreading toward them. Squad Leader Fu frowned and said to Lao Du and Lao Li.

"Notify the soldiers and have them prepare for battle; the Alien Race is coming!"

No sooner had Squad Leader Fu finished speaking than the Modian Lieutenant arrived at this fortification with Legion 35 Deputy Regiment Commander Duan Mingke and the Vittorian Second Lieutenant, shouting in a loud voice.

"Where is the commander of Reserve Army 2nd Regiment?"

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man stepped out, came before the Modian Lieutenant, saluted, and spoke.

"Reserve Army 2nd Regiment—Fang Kesheng!"

"Have your men prepare for battle. This is your first time facing the Alien directly. The time to serve the Emperor with loyalty has come. You will endure the Alien's attack together with the Vitrians. We will have the armored units charge after the Alien's long-range attack units appear, striving to eliminate the long-range Aliens as quickly as possible."

"After we launch our attack, you will also charge out of the fortifications and advance alongside our armored units."

"The soldiers of Legion 35 will set out with our armored units. This will be a difficult Task. Since it was the Cadians who trained you, I should be able to trust you, right?"

Hearing the words of this Modian Lieutenant, Fang Kesheng immediately replied.

"For the Emperor! For Human Civilization! We will definitely let the invading Alien Race know our strength!"

The Vittorian Second Lieutenant walked up to Fang Kesheng at this time, extended his right hand, and said.

"For the Emperor!"

Fang Kesheng also extended his right hand.

"For the Emperor!"

After the Modian Lieutenant and Duan Mingke left, the Vittorian Second Lieutenant said to Fang Kesheng.

"Listen, pal, our two units don't have heavy-duty weapons, and your Reserve Army 2nd Regiment has been formed for less than two years, unlike those veterans in Reserve Regiment 1 who have experienced war."

"You are new recruits. I don't want to have the Alien behind me while we fight side-by-side later, only for your soldiers to be scared out of their wits by the Alien and not dare to attack."

After hearing the Vittorian Second Lieutenant's words, Fang Kesheng felt the other's contempt, but what he said was the truth; they indeed lacked combat experience, so Fang Kesheng did not refute the Vittorian Second Lieutenant's words, but nodded solemnly and said.

"We will prove ourselves with our actions and show we are worthy of following the Emperor!"

Fang Kesheng could not see what expression was under the Vittorian Second Lieutenant's helmet, but the other party did not continue this topic, turning instead to say.

"I will have my soldiers mixed in with the new recruits to avoid having the new recruits gathered together. Without combat experience, it is very easy for them to suffer a collapse in morale if they are grouped together. Of course, it's just a precaution."

Fang Kesheng nodded and replied.

"What you say makes sense, let's do it!"

Soon, within the various defensive lines, Reserve Army soldiers and Vitrian soldiers were positioned together, looking at the thick fog approaching in the distance.

Lao Du swallowed nervously, gripped the Laser Gun in his hand, and sweat flowed down his forehead.

"Relax, Lao Du, you're making me quite nervous too."

Lao Li looked around nervously, and upon seeing the nervous appearance of Lao Du beside him, he said in a low voice.

"Hiss... whew... if you're nervous, just say so, what's the point of dragging me into it? By the way, Lao Li, I heard from the instructors that the Laser Guns in our hands can kill most of the Alien Race, we should be fine, right?"

Lao Du took a deep breath and then asked Lao Li.

"You don't need to discuss these questions. In a moment, you just need to open fire and kill the Alien. Don't be chaotic, don't panic. The Alien isn't that scary. Hold fast to your Faith, for the Emperor!"

A Vitrian soldier next to the two could no longer listen to the discussion between these two new recruits who had no combat experience, and spoke directly.

"Uh... okay."

Seeing the Vitrian soldier say this, the two closed their mouths and looked again at the thick fog. The thick fog blocked their line of sight, and it was impossible to see what the situation was like inside.

However, after Duan Mingke in the rear saw the thick fog reach the shelling position, he immediately ordered the soldiers on the position to open fire.

"Fire the cannons! The Alien Race is leaning into the thick fog, advancing toward us!"
