Chapter 183 Quenching the Army Soul
In the past half a month, this 500-member recruit battalion has grown a lot, and the speed of improvement in cultivation is completely different from when they were in school.

Although, it is very bitter and tiring.

But it doesn't matter.

Being in a group, everyone suffers and gets tired together.

The strong spiritual satisfaction, as well as the collective sense of mission and honor, are enough to dispel physical fatigue.

Before Chu Yao set out, he originally expected that there might be deserters along the way.

Yet the truth is no.

Everyone persevered.

but……

A lot of people are only now really realizing that this is not the hardest part.

Compared with the imminent death, the past half month was really just an appetizer.

not to mention……

What they are facing now is the Night Demon Race.

Under the huge pressure of reality, selfish thoughts inevitably surged in everyone's mind.

……

With so many teams in the human race, why should they be on the expedition camp?

We are far from fully developed, now we have to face such a powerful enemy?

This is unfair, unscientific, and unreasonable.

Such a difficult task is almost impossible to complete.

Even if there are other strong men from the military holding the battle behind him, as a bait, he is likely to die inexplicably.

It's such a shame to die.

……

"I come."

Xiao Zhan followed Lu Hongzhuang's footsteps and took a step forward.

"add me."

Lu Zhenhua followed almost at the same time.

"I!"

Ye Fan strode forward.

"And me."

Hou Guanjun walked firmly.

Accompanied by them one by one to stand up.

In the veteran team, the 25 veterans, although they didn't say anything, took a collective step forward.

They have seen all kinds of storms.

Which of the veterans who have experienced many battles did not break through from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood?

The lame Pei Donglai stared straight at Chu Yao at this moment, and after a moment of silence, he decided to add fire.

With his eyesight, he can naturally see that this moment is a good time to temper the military soul.

"Captain Chu, I have a few questions that I would like to help my brothers clarify."

He addressed Chu Yao's position directly to show formality.

Chu Yao looked at him.

"Okay, you ask."

"The first question, if we really encounter the night demons, even if there are strong people from the night demons, what is the estimated casualty rate?"

Boom!
The cripple knocked it down with a hammer, like an experienced blacksmith, slamming the hammer hard on the hot and fragile pig iron.

Many people in the recruit team were hit in the heart with a hammer, and they all looked at Chu Yao.

Chu Yao was expressionless.

"The casualty rate will be very high, at least [-]%, and the group may be destroyed."

There was a commotion in the crowd.

The cripple nodded.

"it is good."

"Then the second question, is this battle necessary? Is the sacrifice of the brothers meaningful?"

Boom!
Another blow to the heart.

Chu Yao remained expressionless.

"There are two issues. First, whether to fight or not."

"For us, we must be prepared to fight, but whether we can meet the enemy has not yet been determined. It depends on our luck. And once we meet, it will be life and death."

"Second, there is a question of whether the sacrifice is meaningful."

"Have."

"The night demons are hidden in the darkness, and they may launch an assassination operation at any time. We are the torches. If we can induce their power, it will be a great contribution to the entire human race and the overall situation."

"For us, this battle is the coming-of-age ceremony of the expeditionary army. After it is over, the army's spirit will be lost. If we can't pass it, the army's spirit will be lost. If the army's spirit is lost, then there is no point in continuing. I am safe and sound. Steady go to the military headquarters to take over the mature troops, you can ask for more blessings."

"To put it more selfishly, the meaning of the existence of the expeditionary force is to push forward all the way. You can die, but you can't retreat. Either the group will be wiped out on the battlefield, or they will be invincible."

What should have been passionate, was said by Chu Yao in an extremely calm tone.

Everyone is deep in thought.

Indeed, it is.

If the mission of this team is an expedition, it is destined to die many, many people.

To be more selfish, it is to exchange the lives of the brothers who died in exchange for the glory of the brothers who are still alive.

but……

Who dies and who lives, no one can say for sure.

It can only be left to fate and time.

One will be a million bones.

This sentence has another meaning, that is-every general starts from a small soldier and grows up from a small soldier. Theoretically speaking, every small soldier has the possibility to grow into a general.

But, it's just a theory, just a possibility.

The process of growing from a small soldier to a general is a lifelong gamble.

"I!"

"add me!"

"And I!"

"Count me in!"

……

After the second question was asked, all the truths were broken up and explained clearly, and some people stood up again.

The ones waiting for people to come out are almost there, but there are still more than half left.

Still hesitating.

Still struggling.

There is no right or wrong in such a choice, but it is the deepest test of everyone's soul.

There is only one life, and there is only one life.

Do you choose to be vigorous but may die at any time?
Or is it safe but flat?
For Chu Yao, for Lu Hongzhuang, for Xiao Jian... for these people who stood up, this question has been thought about countless times.

I figured it out very early.

But many people haven’t figured it out until now.

It is not a question of ideological awareness, but a question of the timing of enlightenment, or a question of whether to think or not.

Now, everyone is under the pressure of the situation and has to think about this question.

pick one of two.

This is tempering.

What kind of life you want to have, you must be prepared to take what kind of risks.

The more you want, the greater the risk.

"Any question?"

Chu Yao looked at the cripple and asked.

"Have."

The cripple nodded.

"The third question, if the brother died in this battle, is there any compensation standard?"

This hammer is not strong, but the angle is very positive.

Work hard.

If I sell my life to you, there must be a good price.

They say life is priceless, but in fact, it really is.

The death pension compensation standard of the military department is that 120 months of rank allowances will be credited to the account at one time. According to the monthly allowance of 5000 for small soldiers, it is only 60 at one time.

The higher the rank, the higher the subsidy.

In short, ten years of income will be given to you in one lump sum.

this problem……

Chu Yao was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"No."

"We don't ask for money from the military. This is the source of our independence. I don't have any money myself. The money I used to buy psychic cannons and psychic hand cannons was a loan from someone looking for alms."

"You can treat this as a no-cost business. We are a group of legal bandits. We are responsible for our own profits and losses. We don't ask the military for money, and the military has nothing to do with it. When we enter the land of a foreign race, we don't have to pay for everything we seized. Hand it over to the military department and enjoy it yourself."

"But, I don't have any money to give you."

Chu Yao made it very clear.

Whoring for nothing.

It's kind of ugly to say it.

But the facts are the facts.

If he had been really rich, he wouldn't have pulled such a poor team.

There are many strong people on the market who have retired from the military.

Even if they are on active duty, as long as they are given enough money, they will definitely be able to attract some.

To put it bluntly, this team is a poor and white people, leading a group of poor and white people, wanting to counterattack the momentum, and make them a prince.

Hearing Chu Yao's words, the cripple nodded.

"Okay, I'm done asking."

……

Three questions, everything was asked clearly, no one spoke, and everyone voted with their feet.

15 minute later.

The result came out.

There are only 130 seven people left behind who choose not to be afraid of death.

The rest, all stayed where they were, without moving.

The number of people is less than half.

But Chu Yao was quite satisfied.

Soldiers are not expensive, but expensive.

Basically, the more eye-catching members of the entire team stayed.

Most of those who left were weak-willed.

Just right.

Hello everyone. Get together.

"Now, all the rest of the expedition battalion, assemble!"

Chu Yao roared.

The remaining 130 seven people immediately began to line up again.

The formation of the team was much smaller, but a wordless momentum surged out.

Looking at the No. 130 people, Chu Yao knew in his heart that as long as they were not wiped out by the group, the team would be complete.

In the future, even if it is iterated to the second or third generation, the lineage and genes have already been written down.

Expedition, you can die, but you will not retreat.
