Chapter 157: You've been drafted

Views:

Zhang Tie had imagined countless times before that he would be riding in a car for the first time, but what Zhang Tie never imagined was that when he was riding in a car for the first time, he would be riding in a vehicle belonging to the Iron Horn Regiment of the Norman Empire.

As the boss of Black Flame City Prison, Captain Quinn has a car of his own, the "Lynx" off-road vehicle produced by the Norman Empire. Compared with ordinary steam-powered vehicles on the market, the "Lynx" off-road vehicle has a higher chassis. , the off-road performance is stronger, the power is more sufficient, and the performance is more powerful.

Although steam power is also used, the configuration and performance of military vehicles are not comparable to ordinary civilian vehicles. The steam power unit equipped on this "Lynx" can allow this small vehicle to maintain 80 kilometers per hour in the wild. speed.

Captain Quinn was originally worried that Zhang Tie would take the opportunity to run away or want to cause some trouble, but after getting on the bus, he found that all Zhang Tie's attention was actually focused on his off-road vehicle, and he loved him as the captain. Instead of paying attention, the conversation with the corporal driving the car became more and more interesting. While he cursed Zhang Tie countless times in his mind as "a bumpkin from Black Flame City", Captain Quinn's worries slowly disappeared.

Such a guy would be an enemy of the Empire and a potential saboteur. Captain Quinn didn't believe it, but people can't be judged by their appearance. This guy didn't look like the kind of person who was suspicious of hostility to the Empire. But looking at this guy's age and appearance, Quinn The captain couldn't see anything in this guy that could attract the God of War's attention.

Iron blood and dark strength? Even among the elite soldiers of the Iron Horn Legion, less than 1% of them can be trained. How could this bumpkin from Black Flame City, who has never seen anything in the world, be able to train it? Captain Quinn lamented in his heart, he really couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that the God of War really favors him

Captain Quinn was shocked.

Zhang Tie was driven directly by Captain Quinn to the headquarters of the 39th Division of the Iron Horn Corps in Black Flame City. Two months ago, it was still the general headquarters of the Black Flame City Guards.

The defense of the station is very tight. There are dozens of armored vehicles of various types parked outside the station. In addition to these steel monsters, there are also many iron-horned beasts that Zhang Tie had seen from a distance a few weeks ago. Of course, the most numerous people here are the Norman Empire soldiers wearing dark red military uniforms or guards, or coming and going.

Captain Quinn's car stopped directly at the entrance of the headquarters building, and then Captain Quinn jumped out of the car. He called over a second lieutenant who was standing under the headquarters building and whispered something. The second lieutenant glanced at Zhang Tie and left quickly. Within half a minute, four burly and powerful soldiers appeared together with the second lieutenant. After handing Zhang Tie over to the second lieutenant and the four soldiers, Captain Quinn left.

Immediately, Zhang Tie was escorted by the four soldiers and the second lieutenant to a small room with an interrogation room sign on the first floor of a building next to the headquarters building.

As soon as the iron door of the interrogation room was closed, four soldiers stood outside the door, and Zhang Tie was left alone in the interrogation room again.

Regardless, the environment here is a hundred times better than that smelly three-story dark cell.

Sunlight shone in from the narrow window more than two meters high in the interrogation room. Zhang Tie stood in the sunlight with his eyes closed. He raised his head, as if enjoying himself, just quietly bathing in the warm sunshine.

Number of people in the 39th Mixed Division of the Iron Horn Regiment of the Norman Empire. 25,000, division commander, Colonel Leibniz, if nothing else happens. The future station of this army will be Black Flame City - is this the prelude to the troubled times that Jerome said

Thinking of the panic on his parents' faces when he was taken away yesterday, Zhang Tie's heart ached again.

When Captain Quinn returned to Black Flame City Prison. He discovered that in the short period of time he left, there were a few more uninvited guests in the prison. One guy was a bastard from the Military Control Commission, and there were a few guys who looked at their armbands but they were from the Scout Camp. The bastard from the Military Control Commission had an expression on his face. It was a bit embarrassing, and several guys in the scout camp looked angry.

Several uninvited guests who saw Captain Quinn quickly saluted Captain Quinn.

What are these people doing in their own territory

"What are you doing here? What's the matter?" Because of Zhang Tie's incident, Captain Quinn looked unhappy and his tone was a little stiff.

"That's right, Captain Quinn, the Military Control Commission sent someone to escort a Chinese young man named Zhang Tie yesterday. There may be some misunderstanding. We are here this time to take him away!" said the second lieutenant officer from the Military Control Commission. At the same time, he took out a certificate of nomination procedures issued by the Military Control Commission and handed it to Captain Quinn.

"I'm sorry, but this man is no longer in prison?" Captain Quinn said firmly.

"What, is he dead?" A young soldier from the scout battalion stepped forward excitedly, staggering slightly. Talking directly to the commander like this was absolutely not allowed in normal times, but at this moment, looking at this man Captain Quinn didn't care about the excited young soldier who seemed to have an injury on his leg. Instead, he asked curiously, "What, do you know each other?"

Salvi seemed to realize that he had just been rude, and he became a little more awake at this time. "Reporting to the commander, that man saved my life a few days ago. I was on a mission at the time and did not have the opportunity to express my gratitude to him. Just today, when I found his home, I found out that he had been falsely accused and imprisoned... "

Salvi briefly told what happened.

Captain Quinn understands this kind of emotion between soldiers very well, because he has also been a soldier. For these soldiers, the most ironclad friendship in the world is obtained with blood and life. No wonder this young man The soldier was so excited.

I didn't expect that boy to have such an experience. After saving the soldiers of the Iron Horn Legion, Captain Quinn suddenly felt much better and his expression softened.

"Corporal, don't get excited, that young man is not dead, he is at the headquarters now!"

"Headquarters?" Several Norman Empire soldiers were in a daze.

"Don't you know who you arrested yesterday?" Captain Quinn said to the second lieutenant of the Military Control Commission.

The second lieutenant of the Military Control Commission looked at Captain Quinn with a confused expression, "Did that person do other things besides saving the soldiers of the Iron Horn Legion?"

"I don't know if you have done anything else, but I think Colonel Leibniz will ask you to explain to him soon!"

After saying this, Captain Quinn found that he felt completely relieved when he saw the second lieutenant's sudden change of expression. The bastards from the Military Control Commission almost hurt him this time. He didn't want to solve the mystery so quickly. It would be good to make these bastards from the Military Control Commission worried.

The others looked confused, wondering why Zhang Tie was at the headquarters of the 39th Division at this time, but now that they knew Zhang Tie was not dead, Salvi and the others were completely relieved.

Zhang Tie's matter was a big deal for the Zhang family, but for the Military Control Commission and Captain Quinn. This matter was just a matter that almost or might bring bad luck to oneself. When it came to Colonel Leibniz, the commander of the 39th Mixed Division of the Iron Horn Regiment of the Norman Empire, it turned into an interesting little matter.

It was not until four hours later, before lunch, that the staff around Leibniz took the opportunity to give Leibniz a brief report on the matter. Zhang Tie's incident was condensed and summarized by the staff officer in less than 100 words and finished in just half a minute. The information in those 100 words included Zhang Tie's family background, the reason why Samira accused Zhang Tie, and how Zhang Tie saved Salvi. There are also everything that happened from Zhang Tie's arrest yesterday to today.

Colonel Leibniz took a sip of tea from the exquisite white porcelain teacup to putting down the teacup. In this short process, the staff officer had already completed his report and was waiting for his instructions on how to handle the matter.

"This little guy is at the headquarters?"

"Yes!"

Colonel Leibniz found this interesting. A young man who had lived in a remote place like Black Flame City since he was a child actually received the attention of the God of War, and had so many interactions with his division. The whole thing was interesting. When I return to Nottingham, this will be a good topic of conversation at a cocktail party. The ladies of Nottingburg would like to hear such interesting and legendary stories that happened in the countryside, so Colonel Leibniz stood up from his chair and said, "Go and have a look!"

... A few minutes later, Colonel Leibniz saw Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie also saw this middle-aged man in his fifties who was wearing a military uniform, but with a big belly, half gray hair, and two delicate mustaches. . Colonel Leibniz only asked Zhang Tie one question, "Tell me, why were you able to ignite three bright points in a row in just two months, and also develop the dark energy of iron and blood?"

This question goes to the core. When Zhang Tie was chased by a wolf and jumped into a black hole in the trial, his strength was that of a first-level warrior. No one knows when Zhang Tie ignited the Mingdian in the shrine, so the only information that can be confirmed now is that Zhang Tie In two months, three bright spots were ignited and promoted three levels in a row.

Zhang Tie, who knew that he would have to face this problem sooner or later, was already prepared.

"When I was doing the Lone Walker Trial, I was almost igniting the second bright point. Then, on the fifth day when I started the Lone Walker Trial, it rained in the Wild Wolf Valley. While I was hiding from the rain, , I was struck by lightning on the mountain. After I woke up, I found that my speed of igniting the bright spot seemed to be much faster, and my strength also became a lot stronger. The iron-blooded fist that I have been practicing has also improved very quickly. !”

Zhang Tie's answer made Colonel Leibniz very satisfied. In Colonel Leibniz's opinion, it was the only and reasonable explanation for the strange mutation and the emergence of some strange abilities in the body after being struck by lightning. Although Rare, but not new. In medicine, there is even a special term for these guys who develop all kinds of weird abilities after being struck by lightning—acquired lightning strike savant syndrome!

Colonel Leibniz felt that Zhang Tie's answer made the story he wanted to conceive in his mind more interesting. Although the proportion of people who have developed iron-blooded dark strength is very small, there are almost two hundred people in the entire Thirty-ninth Division who have this ability. Therefore, Zhang Tie's ability is not uncommon. A fourth-level soldier, even if he has some strange abilities Even though Zhang Tie had experienced and developed iron-blooded secret strength, he could not really enter the sight of Colonel Leibniz. This was not what Zhang Tie really wanted Colonel Leibniz to fancy, but the entire Norman Empire army did not have that commander. General He will dislike the fact that there are too many people in his army who are watched and favored by the God of War.

"Lucky little guy, I now announce that you have been recruited by the Iron Horn Legion of the Norman Empire. According to the laws of the Norman Empire, you are now a member of the Thirty-ninth Division. In the army of the Norman Empire, All the lucky ones who are watched by the God of War will start their glorious military career with the rank of second lieutenant. Therefore, you are now the youngest second lieutenant of the 39th Division..." Colonel Leibniz felt that his idea was really true. Brilliant, it will make the story I want to tell in Nottingham more exciting and attractive, make me more majestic in the eyes of those ladies, and make it impossible for anyone to find fault with me. After talking to Zhang Tie, Colonel Leibniz turned around and ordered the staff beside him, "You will take him to complete the enlistment procedures in the afternoon, let him enter the Iron Blood Camp, and find him some capable subordinates. , don’t let this little guy die after just one fight..."

After saying this, Colonel Leibniz ignored Zhang Tie's dumbfounded expression and stood up to leave. However, when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, so he turned around and asked, "By the way. Lucky little guy, what’s your name…”

"Zhang Tie..."

Colonel Leibniz whispered the name twice, as if he wanted to remember the name firmly.

Until Colonel Leibniz had gone away, Zhang Tie was still in a daze. Second lieutenant, he was actually a second lieutenant officer of the Norman Empire...

"Cough... cough..." The staff officer left in the room by Colonel Leibniz coughed twice before Zhang Tie came back to his senses...
