Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 36: A Warrior at the Pinnacle of the Pyramid!

Inside the conference room.

Lin Ye looked at Secretary Xu and asked, "What's the password for the case?"

"The password is 757."

Opening the password box, Lin Ye saw a dark red circular badge lying flat in exquisite packaging.

The badge's edge also had a non-slip frosted texture, making its appearance very eye-catching.

This was his own honor badge.

"Colonel Lin, 'Ember NO.757' is your exclusive badge," Xu Qi said with a smile, then carefully picked up the badge and pinned it on Lin Ye's chest.

"'Ember NO.757' is my honor badge," Lin Ye reached out and stroked the dark red badge.

It was smooth and cold, like a woman's skin.

"The button is on the back of the badge," Xue Zhan reminded him.

"Yes, I know."

Lin Ye nodded slightly, then looked at Xue Zhan and asked, "Does this serial number mean that I am the 757th warrior general to join the Great Xia military?"

"Yes!" Xue Zhan nodded directly without hesitation.

"Does that mean that the Great Xia military has 757 warrior generals?" Lin Ye continued to ask.

However.

As he asked this, Xue Zhan's face gradually darkened: "Including you and those sacrificed predecessors, the Great Xia military has indeed had a total of 757 warrior generals!"

Lin Ye nodded slightly, looking down at the dark red badge.

It was not only a symbol of honor but also a sense of belonging for warriors.

In this chaotic world full of crises, warriors with weak strength could only use this most extreme method to have a unique chance to overcome the strong.

"However, before you, many warrior generals' badges were buried underground with their sacrifices every month.

Now, the entire Great Xia military has only about five hundred existing warrior generals, and this number is still decreasing sharply…"

Speaking of this, Xue Zhan's voice gradually lowered.

"I know."

Lin Ye pressed the badge tightly, but what emerged in his mind were waves after waves of beast tides.

As the mutation speed of monsters accelerated, more and more powerful monsters formed beast hordes, constantly衝擊 the human base.

At this time, to protect their homeland, only these warriors and soldiers stepped forward, facing the monsters without fear of life and death.

As the backbone of the human side, warrior generals often took on more dangers…

"Why doesn't the military recruit more warrior generals?" Such a question suddenly popped up in Lin Ye's mind.

Xue Zhan: "This…"

Hearing Lin Ye's question, Xue Zhan and Xu Qi exchanged a glance, both sighing helplessly.

"Because the Limit Mercenary Group and the Thunder Mercenary Group recruit warrior generals worldwide, they offer high prices and better conditions, so more powerhouses tend to join these two major forces. Most warrior generals are not willing to join the army like you…"

"In this year of great disaster, many warriors prioritize self-preservation…"

Lin Ye: "…"

For a moment, Lin Ye didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lin Ye's mind, and he said, "If the country forcibly intervenes and competes with the Limit and Thunder Mercenary Groups for elite warriors?"

"It's impossible to compete. The owners of the Limit Mercenary Group and the Thunder Mercenary Group are warriors standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid."

"In front of them, the country actually has no meaning anymore."

"Even Jia Yi, our Great Xia's number one warrior, is no match for Hong or Thor,"

"In this era, without strength, there is no deterrence."

Listening to Xue Zhan's words, Lin Ye's expression became even more gloomy.

He remembered what a predecessor said—"Dignity only exists above the blade!"

"If our Great Xia also had a super powerhouse comparable to Hong and Thor, it wouldn't be like this…" Xu Qi's fair face was also filled with helplessness.

The conference room fell into silence.

Xue Zhan seemed to have thought of certain events, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.

Not only Jia Yi, the top combat power of Great Xia, but even the most powerful warriors of the other major powers were by no means a match for Hong and Thor.

The gap between these two and those behind them was too great.

"What if we use nuclear weapons?" Lin Ye asked.

"That's even more impossible. Nuclear weapons can't harm that level of powerhouse," Xue Zhan shook his head helplessly.

As a high-level military official in Shan City, he had also come into contact with certain secrets.

He knew more about the two pinnacle existences at the top of the warrior pyramid than Lin Ye did.

He could better understand their horror.

This kind of suppression of the entire five major powers by one person could only be done by Thor and Hong.

The huge gap made later generations seem insignificant in front of them.

Seeing that Lin Ye still didn't understand, Xu Qi narrated a past event: "You don't know yet, the United States of America couldn't solve that high-level lord monster with a nuclear bomb in Nevada.

Instead, it allowed it to mutate again and evolve into a flying 'Blood Demon Skywolf', causing millions of casualties.

In the end… Thor took action to severely injure and drive it away."

"The re-mutation and evolution of high-level lord monsters is equivalent to humans surpassing God of War warriors?" Lin Ye couldn't imagine such a scene.

"This kind of monster is called 'King-level monster' by Hong and Thor, the king-level existence among monsters. As long as it calls out, monsters will respond in droves."

Lin Ye's expression changed slightly: "…"

A lord monster was already so terrifying, let alone a king-level monster one level higher.

That level was a huge disaster for a country.

However, thinking carefully, Lin Ye thought that even this kind of terrible monster that surpassed the lord was still severely injured by Thor and had to flee in embarrassment.

From this, one could see the terror of Thor!

Not to mention Hong, who was even stronger than Thor.

These two could be completely called the two mountains above the heads of warriors in the world, making it difficult for people to reach their backs.

…

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Take a look at the box again. The cultivation secrets and warrior badges are all inside!"

Lin Ye carefully took off the honor badge and put it back in the silver box, then took out the "Advanced Warrior General" warrior badge next to it and wore it on his right arm.

The change of the warrior-level badge made Lin Ye's whole aura suddenly rise.

Coupled with this already outstanding face, it attracted Xu Qi's attention even more.

Looking at the badge on his right arm, Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the inside of the alloy box.

Below the silver box, two books and two discs were quietly placed on top of the combat uniform.

A familiar feeling rushed towards him, and the corners of Lin Ye's mouth slightly curved.

"This is the middle and lower volumes of 'Nine Hua Arts', and also the secrets related to swordsmanship and footwork, right?" Lin Ye picked up the two books with a smile.

They were exactly the same as the one Xu Qi gave him before, the only difference was that these two were the middle and lower volumes.

"There are demonstrations by the founder in these two discs. If you encounter unfamiliar places, watch them more, and ponder them repeatedly," Xue Zhan reminded him.

"Thank you, Curator Xue!" Lin Ye smiled.

After putting away the secrets, he then took the narrow knife box and drew out the battle knife.

Buzz!!

The long four-foot-long knife weighed about 150kg, and the workmanship was excellent. The blade reflected a sharp light.

Lin Ye liked it very much.

Made by the Great Xia military, it was a high-quality battle knife with a handy weight, fast slashing speed, and great lethality.

Arriving at an open space in the conference room.

Lin Ye held the knife and charged up his momentum, naturally practicing.

Horizontal cut, upward stroke, slash, continuous slash… These basic swordsmanship moves, combined with Lin Ye's extremely skilled footwork, created an extremely natural swordsmanship, as if it were naturally formed.

Gradually, Lin Ye accelerated, his figure changing rapidly, and the blade light and afterimages appeared frequently.

With a wide opening and closing, it gave people an irresistible illusion.

Sharp, extremely fast, and fierce!

The strange thoughts that arose involuntarily made Xue Zhan, a veteran advanced warrior general, quite uncomfortable.

"If the venue here limited Lin Ye's moves and speed, I'm afraid it would be even more terrifying!"

Lin Ye's perfect-level footwork and speed boosted the momentum of the knife, creating a thunderous momentum of a strong wind wrapping around the strong grass.

Whoosh!!

The silver blade light bloomed, and a silver lightning bolt cut down from top to bottom towards a lucky bamboo in the corner.

However, just as the blade was about to touch the bamboo leaves, the blade suddenly stopped.

Huff!!

The power of the long knife pressed towards the bamboo leaves, causing a burst of irregular shaking.

After the exercise, Lin Ye returned the battle knife with satisfaction.

"Not bad, much better than my previous broken blade!"

With this set of advanced warrior general-level combat uniforms and battle knives, he would be more confident in entering the wilderness in the future.

The efficiency of obtaining attribute points would also be improved.

"Now that you have taken a look at these benefits, let's talk about some daily tasks outside the agreement," Xu Qi said with a grin, looking at Lin Ye like a little fox.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly: "What daily tasks?"

"…"
