Chapter 34 Desperation

As the troops of the tribal alliance began to seize the water source near the ruins, the chaos in the entire underground space spread like the ripples caused by a stone hitting a pond. A powerful lone traveler, under the strong pressure of the tribal alliance army bulldozer, no one can withstand the pressure of the tribal alliance army.

Among the army of the tribal alliance, there are also masters.

Judging from the organizational form of most countries and armies in this era, the strength level of front-line officers in the army is roughly equal to the positions they hold. After the two holy wars, in order to facilitate the joint operations of the large army In terms of command and coordination, the military organization forms of most human countries have a tendency to become homogeneous. The hierarchical structure of their armies has a very high degree of similarity.

There is roughly a similar bottom line in the formation of ordinary troops in most countries on the mainland. This bottom line is not absolute, but it is of great reference value.

Sixth-level fighters can serve as platoon leaders, awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and command a platoon of about 30 people.

Seventh-level fighters can serve as company commanders, awarded the rank of lieutenant, and command a team of about 100 people or three platoons.

Soldiers at the eighth level can serve as battalion commanders and are awarded the rank of captain. The number of soldiers under their command ranges from 300 to 500, just like when Zhang Tie was in the Iron Blood Battalion of the 39th Division of the Iron Horn Legion of the Norman Empire. Reinhardt, who leads the Iron Blood Battalion, is an eighth-level fighter, but because of the special organization of the Iron Blood Battalion and the strength of the Iron Blood God Fist, the eighth-level Reinhardt has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel due to his meritorious service. Of course, this is Trey, the lieutenant colonel of the eighth-level fighters will not be many in the entire Blackson Terran Corridor.

Ninth-level fighters can serve as regiment leaders and be awarded the rank of major. The number of soldiers under their command is about 1,000 to 2,000. The specifics vary depending on the military establishment of each country and region. To become a ninth-level fighter, in this era, No matter where he is, he has the qualifications to become a mid-level officer in the army.

Strong fighters at the tenth level can serve as brigade commanders and be awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel. The number of fighters under their command is about 5,000 to 1,000.

The eleventh-level combat division can serve as the division commander and be awarded the rank of colonel. The number of soldiers under his command is at least 20,000.

The twelfth-level great division can serve as the commander of the regiment and be awarded the rank of brigadier general or major general. The specifics are slightly different due to the differences in the military rank system of each country. The number of people at this level is basically around 80,000 to 100,000.

Above the corps is the legion. At the level of the legion, this behemoth that gathers hundreds of thousands of soldiers at every turn has the ability to destroy cities and countries. It is a violent machine that can truly make everyone daunting. The mainstay, and according to the provisions of the "Great Light Charter" of the human race, although the 12th-level Grand Master can serve as the commander of the regiment, the core of forming a legion is not simply the accumulation of low-level fighters, but must be a group of soldiers. famous knight.

Only knights are eligible to form legion-level combat units in the human race. The three ranks of war spirits, war demons, and generals below knights are not eligible to form legions. The main position of legion commander can only be held by knights.

Of course, even legions formed with knights as the core are also divided into grades, because each country is different, and legions have many division standards and levels, but the division standards of most countries in the world are based on It was formulated based on the Chinese four-level legion division standard,

The Chinese divide the legions into four levels, which are the ordinary legion, the second-class legion, the first-class legion and the guard legion. In other places, the standards of these four levels remain the same, but the names will be different. Some The country refers to the four-level legion as the C-level legion, the B-level legion, the A-level legion and the S-level legion, and others are called the Black Iron Legion, the Bronze Legion, the Silver Legion and the Gold Legion. The names are different, but the general division Standards are basically the same.

An ordinary sixth-level soldier can serve as a platoon leader in an ordinary army. This soldier can only serve as a squad leader in a second-level army. The platoon leader in a second-level army is basically a seventh-level soldier. By analogy, the requirements of the first-class legion are even higher.

And I heard that in the Imperial Guard Corps, the minimum qualifications to serve as a platoon leader are nine-level fighters, and even ordinary soldiers have the level of seven-level fighters. Such a legion, in terms of combat effectiveness, a Guards Legion can easily crush more than three Class A legions to the ground.

Such a legion is completely legendary. You can't find one in the entire Blackson Human Race Corridor. It is said that you can only see it in the Eastern Continent. In the Blackson Human Race Corridor, the country that can gather a second-level legion is already The standard of a strong country and a big country, as for the first-level legions claimed by a few countries on the mainland, they are only mixed with a small number of troops formed according to the standard of the first-level legion at the regiment level on the basis of the second-level legion. Such troops, in the Blackson Terran Corridor, can already be regarded as the trump card of the trump card and the hole card for a few countries to stand out from the crowd.

Zhang Tie had no access to this kind of knowledge when he was in Heiyan City. It was only when he was in Qianlongtang that he learned a little bit. The Iron Horn Legion of the Norman Empire that once swept the entire Andaman League is the Black Iron Legion , the Glorious Feather of the Sun God Dynasty is also the Black Iron Legion, and the Iron Blood Battalion belongs to the special forces under the Division of the Legion, which is actually a mixed unit.

In this era, the Chinese are powerful and awe-inspiring. The reason why the Chinese are called the golden race is because only the Chinese have the ability to form a golden army among the human race. In the past two jihads, the Chinese The Golden Legion has made great contributions to the survival of mankind and shines in the annals of history.

This time, the Wild Bear Tribe dispatched tens of thousands of horses, which has reached the scale of divisions. Among troops of this size, there must be many masters at the level of warriors and great masters. With some berserk abilities, in just a few hours, the water sources near the ruins of the ruins fell under the control of the tribal alliance army.

At the beginning, many pioneers hadn't figured out the situation. They didn't know why the troops of the tribal alliance began to seize the water source near the ruins arbitrarily. After more than ten hours, when the pioneers understood their current situation , everyone began to panic, and riots began to occur.

After 50,000 to 60,000 people rushed in, the water source near the ruins could not support the water needs of so many people. When the underground passage was still open, this contradiction was not obvious, because as long as you are willing to spend a little time If you walk dozens of miles, you can get enough water, and at this time, the bombed passage, in addition to cutting off the road for everyone to return to the ground, is more importantly, the largest water source Supplies were also cut off.

Even if everyone brought enough dry food this time and did not have enough drinking water, they would not be able to last long underground.

The army of the tribal alliance took advantage of these more than ten hours to complete the reinforcement of their own camp under the order of Gangula, and established a rough line of defense outside the camp relying on the existing conditions. The water source has become a military restricted area - anyone who is not a member of the tribal alliance, who approaches several water sources within 100 meters without permission, will be killed without mercy!

Everyone who was full of confidence and wanted to make a fortune in the super ruins turned upside down in a blink of an eye, and everyone suddenly became insecure.

Zhang Tie saw Jinpeng Bank's prospecting team. When Zhang Tie saw them, the manpower of that team was reduced by at least half. Most of the remaining people were wounded and their faces were ugly.

Aurora and Nurdo also came back, and one-third of the people who followed them did not come back. Seeing Zhang Tie, Aurora was caught before he had time to come over and say a few words to him. The people sent by Gangula took him away.

Zhang Tie sat alone on the roof of a five-story building in the ruins next to the tribal alliance camp, looking quietly into the distance.

In a place that Zhang Tie could see, near a water source occupied by the tribal alliance, more than 2,000 soldiers stationed there were strengthening the defense there, and in the distance, the pioneers wandering around the water source The survivors looked at the soldiers of the tribal alliance with hatred one by one.

The pioneers at this time are still relatively restrained, or no pioneers are willing to die at this time just to drink two sips of water, but this is only the first day. After three days, when the vast majority of pioneers When the drinking water he carried with him was about to run out, Zhang Tie didn't know whether those pioneers would still be like this, but just watched from the sidelines.

Footsteps came from behind, and Zhang Tie knew that Aurora was coming without turning his head. Seeing Zhang Tie sitting on the ground with his feet dangling in the air, Aurora only hesitated for a moment, and then sat down on Zhang Tie's seat. The side, like Zhang Tie, also put both feet in the air.

"It seems that the situation is even worse than I imagined!" Zhang Tie turned his head and looked at Aurora. Aurora took the initiative to take off her mask, letting Zhang Tie's unscrupulous gaze from her glamorous profile. sweep.

"You didn't attend the meeting, how did you know?" Aurora's voice was very flat, making it impossible to guess the emotion in her heart.

"Hehe, don't you need to guess? Isn't it time to tell your last words? How could you just sit on the ground so casually? Just now when you walked over, you hesitated, and then sat down. I guess, what was in your heart at that time It must be like this, it’s already at this time, what else can’t let go, do you think I’m right?”

"You bastard!" Aurora cursed softly, then sighed melancholy.

"Tell me, what's going on now!"

"There is no God Star, there is no super relic, this is a trap!"

"It is estimated that many people have seen it now!"

"The first loud noise was also the sound of an alchemy bomb exploding, but its explosion yield was very large. It can be confirmed that those knight-level masters who entered the ground to snatch the fragments of the God Star are finished. Already, we can preliminarily confirm the knight-level masters who fell into this trap, there is one knight-level master on the ice and snow wasteland, and there are three masters who came in from outside, including Xingyue Sword Master Samaranch!"

Although it is said that people die for money and birds die for food, Zhang Tie was still shocked when he heard so many masters who were like great gods fall to him at one time. A knight-level master, any one he took out would be a powerful one. Big man, I didn't expect that four human knights fell at once this time. Even when the previous two holy wars were at their most intense, it was rare for four human knights to fall in one place in one day. The holy war has not yet begun, and the four masters among humans have died here.

Thinking of the peerless demeanor of Xingyue Sword Master Samaranch beheading the giant monster of the deep sea, Zhang Tie was filled with regret. Zhang Tie had heard a sentence from Tang De before - No matter how skilled you are, you are afraid of kitchen knives. Zhang Tie thought it was a joke at first, but now it seems that this is not a joke at all. This kitchen knife is an alchemy bomb, and a bunch of alchemy bombs are detonated. , will also fall.

The power of the first explosion, after thinking about it, was at least hundreds of times more powerful than the alchemy bomb that Zhang Tie had seen in Brape. Under such terrifying power, let alone a human, Even steel has to melt.

"Do you know who dug this hole here?"

"Gangula suspects the Three-Eyed Society!"

The Three-Eyed Society, and the Three-Eyed Society, but apart from the Three-Eyed Society, Zhang Tie really can't think of any other organization in the human race that has such ability and means to do this kind of thing. It is possible that this trap started It is aimed at the knight-level masters among the human race. The pioneers and the army of the tribal alliance trapped here in front of them are just "heads" in the eyes of others. Before starting, as long as it can weaken the strength of the human race, as long as it can make the human race more chaotic, those bastards can do whatever they want.

This pit was dug too cleverly, there is truth in the truth, and there is truth in the false. With a newly discovered ruins as props and background, who would have thought that such a conspiracy would be hidden behind this real props and background? Their self-confidence in strength made them think they had the ability to face all problems and conspiracies, but who would have thought that what awaited them here was not fragments of the God Star, but a death trap made of alchemy bombs.

Zhang Tie thought of the beast tide on the ground, which seemed to have nothing to do with the ruins, and was full of conspiracy and man-made traces. At this time, when he thought about it carefully, its value was immediately obvious. The function is to attract firepower and everyone's attention. When the eyes and attention of the tribes in the ice and snow wasteland and those who are wary of the conspiracy of the Three-Eyed Society are diverted outside, how many people can think that the Three-Eyed Society The real killer feature will be here.

Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't speak, Aurora thought that Zhang Tie was digesting what she said, so she didn't bother, but just quietly looked at the light spots of the fluorite lamps in the distance, and then seemed to say to herself Talking to himself about the situation in front of him.

"During the meeting just now, everyone has already done a rigorous deduction of the situation in front of us. The water sources that the tribal alliance has now seized can provide only enough water for about 30,000 people in a state of conservation. Daily usage, the army of the tribal alliance has a total of 370,000 people this time, which means that even within the army of the tribal alliance, after three days, when the water carried by everyone is exhausted, there will be 700 People don't get enough water supplies."

"In addition to the 7,000 people in the tribal alliance army, there are more than 20,000 pioneers gathered near the ruins. Also after 3 days, if the 20,000 people don't want to die of thirst, then they will definitely have to fight with them." The army of the tribal alliance fought to compete for the limited water source. The terrain of the ruins is not conducive to the deployment of large forces. If these 20,000 people are to be killed, the tribal alliance can only have a chance of victory in a deadly battle, and even if it wins, The tribal alliance will also pay an extremely heavy price, at least more than 10,000 sacrifices!"

"The fierce battle will last for more than a week, and then, the dead bodies will be scattered in every corner of this ruins. This is underground, and everyone's feet are hard stones, and the environment is relatively closed. It's easy to deal with. The army of the tribal alliance can deal with a batch of corpses, bury those corpses under the ruins or discard them in caves far away from here, but there are still many corpses that cannot be processed. Those corpses will rot soon, and then hundreds of There is a seventy-fifty chance that disease and plague will be brought here, and the survivors will be infected."

"Even if there is no plague and disease, the dry food brought by everyone can only last for less than a month at most. Even if there is enough water, everyone will starve to death!"

"According to the confirmation of Jinpeng Bank's exploration team, there is only one passage to the ground. If that passage is to be reopened, the cost will be too high. At least 40,000 people will need to work continuously for more than two months. Even if we can still Contact the outside world and ask them to send people to help us get through this channel. In the most optimistic case, it will take 40,000 people to work here for a month and a half before it is possible to get through. Under the current circumstances, this is an impossible task , No one here can organize 40,000 people to complete such a project, even if the tribal alliance and the pioneers join hands, it is impossible for everyone to survive for a month and a half..." Aurora paused when she said this, Then he said the conclusion in a desolate and flat tone, "So, in a month's time, we will probably all die here!"
