chapter 17 Graduation

There is an unwritten rule in the Imperial Army. If you reach the second level combat soldier before the age of eighteen, you can join the special forces corps. But the top few in the special corps only recruit second-level soldiers who are less than seventeen years old. And this is only the minimum threshold, and many other conditions must be met before it is possible to be favored by the most elite legions in the empire.

Carwyn is already sixteen.

It takes time to ignite nodes, consolidate strength, and prepare for the graduation exam. If he had to reach the level of second-level combat soldier near the age of seventeen, then it would be difficult for Carwyn to obtain admission to the special forces corps.

Almost all graduates of the Huangquan training camp will serve in the Imperial Army for a few years before seeking their own development. From the moment he entered the training camp, Carwyn had secretly set his ambition. Not only did he want to come out alive, he also wanted to enter the top, or at least the first-class, special forces.

Only in this way, Carwyn felt that he would not disgrace the surname he would get, Lin.

Carwyn is not lacking in talent, but that old injury has almost ruined everything about him! However, in this war-torn and turbulent world, everyone only cares about the results and no one cares about the process.

Carwyn is already sixteen years old, but he has not yet broken through to Level 2. This is the result. And tonight, he wants to change this result!

Under the moonlight, Carwyn's original force began to surge, gradually gathering into a wave, and then pushed through the scar area step by step with difficulty, and began to impact the node barrier.

Waves of waves of force are constantly being generated, and inhuman pain is constantly coming. But Carwyn's heart was already blank, quietly waiting for the result.

The seventeenth round of the force tide has passed, and the eighteenth round of the force tide has finally arrived!

Carwyn face was pale and he was sweating profusely. His whole body was shaking under the powerful counterattack of the Force and severe pain. Every wave of the force makes Carwyn feel like he has died and been reborn!

From one wave to nine waves in the blink of an eye, when the ninth wave hit the node barrier hard, Carwyn seemed to hear a snapping sound. The originally indestructible barrier appeared numerous cracks and shattered under the impact of the extremely powerful force. Just around the corner!

The tide receded slowly, and the force returned to calm. Carwyn mind finally relaxed, then his vision went dark and he fainted.

When Carwyn woke up, it was already two days later.

He opened his eyes and saw the familiar classroom, with the cold metal platform beneath him. Apparently Aldan had saved him again.

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense!" This old man who never took living things seriously actually scolded Carwyn like this.

Aldan's medical skills are indeed powerful. Carwyn was forced to withstand eighteen rounds of force surges, and his internal organs were damaged everywhere. He could heal such injuries without leaving any hidden dangers. No matter how Aldan scolded him, Carwyn could only feel grateful to him now.

With eighteen rounds of force tidal waves as the basis, a month later, Carwyn finally ignited the node and became a second-level warrior.

After becoming a second-level soldier, most people will awaken an ability related to the Force. A lucky few will also be able to choose between several abilities. Carwyn, who was originally extremely talented, had the right to choose. He could choose between heavy warheads, force jumps and double shots as his abilities.

Carwyn didn't think much and directly chose the heavy warhead.

Heavy Slug is a very common ability, exclusive to Force firearms. When this ability is activated, it can blast a blow that is much more powerful than usual, and its power is about one and a half times that of an ordinary shot.

After Carwyn ignited the second force node, he found that the force generated from this node was extremely fierce and extremely difficult to control. In this case, a heavy warhead that only focuses on power is the most suitable ability for him.

After another two months of careful preparation, Carwyn applied to take the training camp's graduation exam. When he walked towards the Grand Canyon, in addition to being equipped with a basic field dagger, he also carried a strange rifle behind him.

This is a Force rifle. Although it is only the simplest and most basic model, it is still a Force gun!

During the graduation exam, the training camp will only issue one dagger to each student, and no other equipment is allowed. However, there is an exception for equipment handmade by students themselves, and anything can be brought into the examination room.

Carwyn perfect scores in all knowledge classes were finally rewarded at this moment. Starting from the most basic material processing, he actually made a force rifle by himself! Although this is just the simplest and most primitive Force gun, the energy compression device can only store one Force bomb.

In this way, Carwyn became the first student in thirty years to take the graduation exam with a force gun.

The crystal lizard is indeed a formidable enemy, but that is for the students holding simple daggers. A hundred meters away, Carwyn began to charge the force gun, aim, activate the heavy warhead, and then fire.

A ball of blazing red light flew out from the muzzle of the gun, directly blowing away half of the crystal lizard's head!

It's that simple. No one stipulates that you can't use Force firearms, as long as you can make them. Moreover, Carwyn's spear was extremely powerful. With the addition of the heavy warhead, it was already equivalent to a blow from a third-level soldier.

In the third month after his sixteenth birthday, Carwyn finally graduated from the Huangquan training camp.

News of Carwyn graduation spread quickly. A few days later, Gregory drove a heavy-duty truck to the mouth of the valley where the training camp was located.

Suddenly, Carwyn had been in the Huangquan training camp for nine full years.

At this time, Carwyn was 1.85 meters tall, not much shorter than the tall and tall Gregory. His body was not as muscular as Gregory, but he never felt thin. His body was well-proportioned and slender, and every line was full of tension.

Gregory is still the same, but there are some traces of time on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, which makes people suddenly realize the ruthlessness of time.

Seeing Carwyn, Gregory Yan's dull face suddenly became brighter. He raised his hand as if out of habit to touch Carwyn's head, and then punched Carwyn chest hard and praised: "What a boy. ! Finally made it out alive! Come here, let me take a good look!"

Carwyn's facial features were pure and clear, still very delicate, but he had just received a punch from Gregory, but he didn't even shake. This made Gregory even more happy, and the rough lines on his face turned into a smile.

Gregory greeted Carwyn and jumped into the cab of the heavy-duty truck. This soldier who rarely smiles a few times a year has a soft spot for this rough style heavy-duty truck.

After Carwyn also got into the car, Gregory drove away quickly.

In the cab, Shi Yan said: "Shuai Lin was very happy when he heard that you had graduated, and immediately asked me to pick you up. But unfortunately, Shuai Lin is currently in the western part of the empire, and he is completely unable to escape. I'm afraid you I won’t see him for a while.”

"What happened over there in Western Xinjiang?"Carwyn asked.

"There is a rebellion in two provinces, and they want to be separated. It's not a big deal, but it's just a little troublesome to deal with. Those rebels are very cunning. They always hide in the homes of some civilians to hide their identities."

"Rebels?" This was the first time Carwyn heard this word.

Gregory said disgustedly: "They are just a group of idiots who don't know how high the sky is! The empire has been fighting the dark race with all its strength. Instead of going to the front line to contribute, these guys keep causing trouble in the rear. Want to overthrow the empire's rule? Hey, the empire The country has been established for 1,200 years and now has 300 provinces spanning four continents. How can these clowns be able to overthrow it?"

Carwyn listened quietly. If Ramsey Cole can be dragged into Western Xinjiang with the strength of two provinces, then the rebels will certainly not be as vulnerable as Shi Yan said.

Gregory drove in silence for a while, and then said with a little seriousness: "The rebels are very troublesome. As I said just now, they tend to hide among ordinary people, and the people in those two provinces are also very ignorant. Many people would rather live on their own. He and his relatives and friends were implicated and executed, but they had to be given shelter. Lin Shuai couldn't do anything to them for a while, so they thought they had a plan. Huh, these idiots, what do they actually know! Lin Shuai just didn't want to hurt innocent people and didn't use strong walls to clear the country. The iron-fisted measures were used to delay the war."

Having said this, Gregory paused for a long time before letting out a heavy breath, "It won't last long like this. After a while, if there is still no progress, Lin Shuai will change defense and the replacement will be someone from another faction." General. No matter which general it is, those two provinces will... be filled with blood!"

Carwyn suddenly felt inexplicably heavy. Even Gregory would describe it as a river of blood, so how many people would die?

In the Huangquan training camp, Carwyn had killed people, and he no longer regarded human life as something that should not be taken lightly. But compared with these famous generals of the empire, Carwyn is far from nothing. Even if he becomes a top killer in the future, the number of people he has killed in his life and the dark races combined may not be worth a light order from these generals.

The heavy-duty truck was running wildly.

"Carwyn!"Gregory suddenly said.

"Um?"

"Tomorrow happens to be the day when the Imperial Army recruits troops. I will take you there to take the assessment. Perform well. This time, two of the five elite elite legions of the Empire will have examiners present. If you perform well, you will have a chance. Get in!"

"I'll try!"

Gregory suddenly sighed and said, "I hope you can join the elite army and become a famous general in the empire one day! Lin Shuai... he has too many enemies in the army."

Hearing this, Carwyn's heart suddenly sank.

Gregory took something out of his arms, handed it to Carwyn, and said, "This is given to you by Commander Lin."

When Carwyn took it over and looked at it, he found that it was a piece of special paper folded squarely with dark lines on the surface. When he unfolded it, the three characters "Carwyn Cole" were written on it in strong and powerful handwriting. However, the corners of the paper are a little fuzzy, the creases seem to have aged, and the ink is a little faded.

"That was written by Lin Shuai nine years ago."Gregory seemed to know what Carwyn was thinking.

"Nine years ago?"Carwyn couldn't believe it. Nine years ago, wasn't it when he first entered the Huangquan training camp?

"When Lin Shuai asked me to send you to Huangquan, he said that you would come back alive."Gregory said with a smile.

The heavy-duty truck drove all the way and arrived at an airship base late at night. A cargo airbag boat happened to be entering the port. Gregory drove up with the car and people.

The airship simply made supplies and began its return voyage in the middle of the night.

Destination, Xiangyang.

This is the largest military industrial city on the Qin continent and ranks third in the entire empire.
