Chapter 179. Good Luck and Bad Luck

Lu Ze and the others entered the car. There were already more than a hundred soldiers inside.

When Lu Ze and his group got on, they looked over curiously.

Lu Ze and his group found a seat under everyone's gaze.

The space inside these large transporter cars was huge. At least, it wasn't packed inside.

The car started and headed to the city gates.

The merchants and adventurers watched in shock as the huge fleet of transporter ships leave.

"Oh shit! Another wave! What are they doing? Fighting the blade demon base??"

"A wave left just a few days ago, right? It seems the war is really about to start."

"This is the first time I saw this in the three years I've been here!"

"Not too good… What to do? Should we leave?"

"Let's go, it's said the lockdown is very strict outside."

"We won't go. We'll stay and see first. Perhaps, there's an opportunity to become wealthy."

Some people contacted their company or team, planning to leave.

Those bolder ones planned to assess the situation from afar.

If they didn't impede the movement of the military, the military wouldn't care.

Perhaps by then, they would be hired by the military and earn some money?

The ships left the base and headed to the east.

The transporter vehicle floated in the air and drove towards the battlefield base.

Lu Ze looked out at the unchanging scene. It was getting boring, so he looked at the soldiers curiously.

Their expressions differed. Some looked calm and ready for the war.

Some looked pale and sweaty.

A round-faced young soldier sitting next to them was shaking. This guy was probably a new recruit.

It was unlucky for new troops to encounter this.

The new recruits had the highest death rate on the battlefield.

After one battle, they will evolve.

At this moment, those calm experienced soldiers started communicating with new recruits, teaching them the experience of surviving the battlefield.

Lin Ling had taught them before, but the tactics of the experienced soldiers were more effective.

After all, they had been on the battlefield much longer than Lin Ling.

Lu Ze looked at Lin Ling strangely. She was very proud that day.

Lin Ling glared at Lu Ze and didn't want to talk.

The round face was talking to a bearded man.

"Kid, what's your name?"

"Wang, Wang Little Fat…" Wang wiped the sweat from his pale face and then asked, "What about you?"

"Good name, it suits you. I'm Audwin. Next, I shall teach you how to survive on the battlefield…"

An hour or so later, Audwin finished and stared at the still nervous Wang. "Did you get it?"

Wang Little Fat nodded his head.

Audwin patted Wang's shoulder and grinned. "Follow behind me on the battlefield."

Wang fell silent for a while and then looked at Audwin gratefully. "Thank you."

Audwin waved his hand and smiled. "It's just a military tradition. You're serving your military conscription, right?"

Wang nodded.

"Heh, then you're really unlucky. It's going to be a big scene. New soldiers are prone to mental breakdowns."

Then, Audwin made the explosion sign with his hand and smirked at Wang.

Wang's whole body was trembling.

Lu Ze and the others were speechless.

Audwin saw the expression of Lu Ze and the others. He grinned before saluting to Lu Ze. "Greetings, 2nd Lieutenant Lu Ze!"

Lu Ze was stunned. "You know me?"

Audwin grinned. "We, experienced soldiers, have more sources of intel. You're the one who captured the blade demon prodigy and found the spirit metal mine. You killed two aperture opening state blade demons as well."

Audwin raised his thumb. "2nd Lieutenant Lu Ze is really fucking amazing!"

Lu Ze: "…"

This guy was clearly complimenting him, but why did he feel he was being cursed instead?

Meanwhile, Wang looked at Lu Ze in shock.

Oh my god!

Am I not awake?

Such a young person killed aperture opening states and found the spirit metal mine???

Such a prodigy was sitting next to him?

So nervous.

Even the other new recruits looked at Lu Ze in shock.

The experienced soldiers saluted to Lu Ze in unison. "Greetings, 2nd Lieutenant Lu Ze!"

What Lu Ze did was worth their respect.

The atmosphere in the vehicle was quiet. Ye Mu saw that those female new recruits glanced at Lu Ze with glimmering eyes. His mouth twitched.

He envied this so much.

When could he have such treatment…

Lin Ling glanced at the embarrassed Lu Ze.

This guy was going to get even more proud!

This was annoying.

Audwin patted Wang's chest and grinned. "I was joking with you before. Heh, I didn't expect 2nd Lieutenant Lu Ze is in the same base with us. You're very lucky that he's here. Just be careful, and you should be able to survive your first battle."

Wang just realized something. With someone who could kill aperture opening state here, he pretty much had a 100% chance of surviving.

Great!

Lu Ze could sense the trust and respect Audwin had for him.

He was a little worried.

It wasn't too good to trust him like that.

He was no hero, nor did he feel he was invincible. This trust was too heavy.

Lu Ze scratched his head. "I'll try my best."

Now, the pressure was huge.

But he was an aperture opening state, it shouldn't be hard to carry them, right?

…

A day later, the vehicle passed half the planet's deserts. There were quite some beasts that tried to attack them, but there was another aperture opening state with them other than Lu Ze. After releasing some chi, those beasts ran off happily.

At this moment, the vehicle company suddenly split into three directions.

Lu Ze's vehicle went along the battlefield line and turned.

After turning twice, their vehicle company loosened up. The vehicles went into their own respective battlefield base.

The base was small, but it was filled with all sorts of cannons. A thick spirit powered barrier was placed over the top of the base.

As soon as they got off, there was a familiar voice, "Junior schoolmate Lu Ze, here!"

Chapter 180. Fight for the Human Race!!

/~~~~/~~~~/~~~~/~~~~/~~~~/~~~~/~

After hearing the words, Lu Ze and the others turned around. It led them to notice the presence of Wang Wenze and three more people. By the side of the latter group, Xilin was waving.

Lu Ze, together with his company, walked over while sporting a smile on their faces.

"Senior schoolmates, you three are over here at this base too?"

Wang Wenze then explained, "Every base needs powerful people to guard it. This is done to prevent ambush from the blade demons. When the battle starts, we won't be able to stay with you guys."

Lu Ze and the others nodded in understanding.

Wang Wenze's power was aperture opening state. On the other hand, Xilin's and Andrew's powers were approaching the aperture opening state. If they fought, the aftereffects of such powers could be enough to kill the surrounding soldiers.

This was the same for blade demons. Thus, the battles of aperture opening state and mortal evolution state were done in the sky.

Meanwhile, planetary level warriors had their battles in space.

Even if Lu Ze encountered a powerful blade demon, he would have to go in the air, unless he was capable of instantly killing the blade demon.

Consequently, Lu Ze asked in confusion, "When does the battle start?"

Wang Wenze's face went serious. "Tomorrow."

Lu Ze and his group were shocked. "This quick?"

They had only just arrived.

They didn't even have the time to prepare.

Wang Wenze nodded. "There's news that their reinforcements are on the way. Although we also have reinforcements coming, it would be more problematic when the battle becomes more intense."

"Every base will be given a device that can detect nearby spirit metal. Those people will be held up. You guys will have to find a way to quickly break into the base."

Lu Ze and the others were quite speechless. "… This seems very difficult."

Lu Ze thought they had planted some spies in the blade demon base, which meant they could play some interesting spy missions during the war. In the end, they had to attack head-on.

There were some disadvantages to choosing the attacking side rather than the defensive side.

Wang Wenze smiled. "We don't have a choice, there's not much time. We can't just let them ship the spirit metal away."

Lu Ze's mouth twitched.

At this moment, there was a loud distant sound. A terrifying force transitioned into a powerful wind and surged over.

Everyone looked over.

In this distance, there were flashes and earth shocking explosions. The ground was trembling.

Those new students were even wobbling while standing.

Just what level of power was this for them to feel it from that far?

If they were closer, they would definitely die.

The battlefield was really scary.

Lu Ze said, "It's that alcoholic… cough, Teacher Nangong?"

Wang Wenze's face went strange after hearing him speak. He moved half a step away from Lu Ze.

Everyone else followed too.

Lu Ze's mouth twitched.

This hurt his feelings!

Xilin looked at the golden light fearfully. "Teacher Nangong probably didn't hear it, right?"

Wang Wenze's mouth twitched. "We are quite far from her, and she's currently fighting. She probably didn't hear it."

The three glanced at each other and felt relieved.

Then, Andrew patted Lu Ze's back. "Junior schoolmate Lu Ze… there are some things you shouldn't say."

Andrew's tone was full of pain as though he was reminiscing some traumatic memory.

Lu Ze coughed awkwardly.

Wang Wenze explained, "Now, there are four young dukes at their base. Teacher Nangong said they would waste some of their base's energy first. That way, their defense and offense would weaken."

At this moment, Ye Mu asked in a dazed manner, "Senior schoolmate, how far is the base from us?"

Wang Wenze glanced at Ye Mu with confusion. "500 hundred kilometers. What is the matter?"

"500 kilometers?"

The battle was 500 kilometers away, and even though it was just an aftereffect, a huge wind could be created here?

Was this the power of young dukes?

This was so terrifying!

Wang Wenze smiled. "If you guys work hard, you can do it too."

Although they weren't necessarily young dukes, all students of Federal University in the elite class have the potential to reach the planetary state.

Whether they would actually become one would depend on their fortune.

"Okay, go back first. The battle will start tomorrow. It won't be easy."

Lu Ze and the others nodded. They proceeded to gather with the rest of the soldiers.

…

The next morning, the troops gathered in the square again. All the soldiers at the base came.

Lu Ze stood inside the formation. Around him were Lin Ling and the rest of his group. On the side were the hundred soldiers from yesterday. The entire formation consisted of probably a few thousand people.

In total, there were most likely around a few hundred thousand soldiers on this battlefield.

Lu Ze felt a little stunned from the calculation.

This was just the battlefield on one planet within one solar system, and there were already several soldiers fighting. It seemed there were quite a lot of humans.

At this moment, one 1st lieutenant who was responsible for this base made the last minute mobilizations.

"Everyone knows the purpose of this war. I don't need to remind you how precious spirit metals are."

"I don't want to waste any words. We're soldiers, and since we're soldiers… we fight for humanity!!"

The full-powered roar of a high-level core martial state was enough to reach more than tens of kilometers on the square. The weaker soldiers were dizzy from the shock.

The few thousand soldiers roared in unison. "For humanity!!"

The roaring sound tore open the sandstorm in the sky.

Roars could be heard non-stop from different bases.

"For humanity!"

In the war occurring at the battlefront, there was a huge base, which was tens of kilometers in diameter. It was completely black and sharp. Its edges were hideous.

Black smoke was seeping out of the base.

In one room of the largest building located in the middle of the base, a room full of blade demons were silent as they looked at the blade demon sitting at the top, wearing black armor.

This blade demon's eyes were closed.

They could hear the roars of the humans even in their base. The atmosphere was heavy.

Moments later, the blade demon opened his blood cold eyes. "Prepare for battle!"
