83: Azure Dragon Legion, the so-called "God Clan"

Seven days later, Lin Chen left the teleportation array and arrived at the 35th Border Star Region.

To reach the Azure Dragon Legion's station from the 35th Border Star Region, one needed to take a large troop transport ship and fly through sub-space for five days.

This was because the 35th Border Star Region had not yet been fully cleared and was considered a salient.

The Human Race had only occupied this entire star region for less than twenty years; it had only been swept once by the Expeditionary Force, meaning it was only slightly better understood than unknown star regions.

Furthermore, it was some distance from the Eighth Academy, which suppressed the nearby areas, and too close to the front lines, often experiencing infiltration by the God Race.

If a teleportation array were to be built, it would be easy for infiltrating God Race members to detect the teleportation channel through special means and carry out targeted strikes.

Not only that, but within this star region, there were also numerous rebellious races who would oppose the Human Race and attack their teleportation arrays.

Therefore, to travel from the border star region's capital planet to the Azure Dragon Legion's station, one could only rely on primitive sub-space navigation; even surface-level star navigation was unsafe.

Only after the Expeditionary Force thoroughly swept the 35th Border Star Region and the Human Fire assimilated it, could it meet the standards for establishing a teleportation array.

The universe and star-filled sky are vast, and races named after "Gods" are as numerous as cattle hair; every so often, the Human Race encounters many such "God" races.

The "God" race currently being fought by the Azure Dragon Legion is generally referred to by the warriors as the One-Eyed Giant Race.

The One-Eyed Giant Race is a humanoid race, larger in stature than the Human Race, with an average height of fifteen meters; excellent individuals have a minimum height of twenty meters and a maximum of fifty meters.

According to normal development, the One-Eyed Giant Race should have been a strength-based race, but a mutation occurred during their evolution, where the single eye on their head evolved the ability to see through space and use spatial power.

Among them, there are 84 existences at the God-level, as detected by human luck, with the strongest being at the Upper God level, classified as an Upper God Race.

Thus, the One-Eyed Giant Race is actually a space-type race, greatly increasing their threat level.

Their infiltration capabilities, in particular, are very strong; before the Human Race dispatched the Azure Dragon Legion, they extensively invaded the 35th Border Star Region and even dared to attack the 7th Border Star Region, which the Human Race had occupied for several hundred years, leading to many conflicts with the Expeditionary Force.

Now that the Azure Dragon Legion has established a war fortress in the 35th Border Star Region, drawing the One-Eyed Giant Race into war, the One-Eyed Giant Race's power in the 35th Border Star Region has greatly weakened, and they are no longer so reckless, daring to confront the Human Race.

Lin Chen's journey on the troop transport ship to the Azure Dragon Legion's station was uneventful.

Lin Chen landed at the legion's rear station and, following the robot's guidance, completed a series of enlistment procedures.

This included getting his military ID, leaving the Ministry of Education system, joining the Ministry of Military system, then receiving his military uniform, standard military equipment, and finally reporting to the military camp.

The Azure Dragon military uniform is a Tenth Order equipment, equipped with a powerful life support system and communication system, and can activate a burst mode, doubling the strength of martial artists below Demigod.

Even with Lin Chen's powerful combat strength, it could still provide him with a thirty percent combat power increase.

Azure Dragon military equipment, on the other hand, was distributed according to the branch of service.

Lin Chen was assigned to the army branch and received a single-soldier armory.

Relying solely on this single-soldier armory, Lin Chen alone could fight a small-scale war involving hundreds of thousands of participants, containing single-soldier weapons for various situations, as well as high-power weapons that an individual could operate.

The manifestation of the Federation's technological strength has never been in the civilian sector but in the military; any advanced technology can be found in the military.

Just the single-soldier armory provided to the army, even if used by a First Order martial artist, could allow him to effortlessly destroy a race with a population of less than ten billion and no Demigods.

Lin Chen somewhat understood why he had little knowledge of technological weapons in his life before graduation; it was simply because technological weapons were too powerful in the early stages and could easily dampen a martial artist's enthusiasm for cultivation.

Any weapon in the single-soldier armory could unleash an attack with a minimum of Sixth Order power, and its operation was simple; with the assistance of the armory's intelligence, even a Tenth Order martial artist would regretfully fall under the powerful firepower of the single-soldier armory.

"Is this single-soldier armory standard issue for all of us in the army branch?"

"Yes, these are all standard issue. After all, we in the army need to engage the enemy in close combat, so we must ensure powerful firepower output to overwhelm the enemy with bullets."

The quartermaster sighed as he said this.

He looked at the sky warships with envy.

The Azure Dragon Legion's main force numbers ten billion, while the number of conscripted personnel is twenty billion, totaling around thirty billion.

Among them, the majority of cultivators are between Sixth Order and Tenth Order, with ten million Demigods and one million Ascension to God.

There are one hundred God-level existences, with the strongest being at the Lord God level, inheriting the title of Azure Dragon Legion Master.

The branches of service are also very simple, with only three types: Army, Air Force, and Logistics.

The Army, the frontline force, is responsible for descending onto planets to suppress and cleanse alien races, engaging the enemy in close combat.

The Air Force, the absolute dominator of the star-filled battlefield, where battleship main cannons charging makes you and your cover equally ridiculous, and caliber is truth.

The Logistics, auxiliary troops, whose main function is to recover resources and produce weapons; when necessary, they also have to fill gaps on the front lines, going wherever they are needed.

Lin Chen couldn't pilot a battleship and hadn't passed any battleship-related certifications; he only possessed extreme individual combat power, so he was naturally assigned to the Army.

In the military, before one becomes powerful enough to disregard the concentrated fire of general technological weapons, collectivism is the truth.

Just like Lin Chen now, if he encountered a team of ten experienced Army soldiers, he could still be overwhelmed by the firepower of their single-soldier armories, as the single-soldier armory indeed contains powerful weapons capable of destroying a Demigod Peak.

After binding the single-soldier armory, Lin Chen took a unified troop transport ship to the military camp where his assigned army was stationed.

Currently, the Azure Dragon Legion is at war with the One-Eyed Giant Race, having opened 18 battlefields; the army Lin Chen was assigned to is stationed and rotating combat on Battlefield No. 5.

Battlefield No. 5 was opened by the 006 Dengshen Group Army.

A Dengshen Group Army is composed of one hundred Ascension to God, one thousand Demigods, and one million Sixth to Tenth Order warriors.

Due to his status as a Sixth Academy graduate and his Tenth Order Late Stage cultivation, Lin Chen was directly assigned to a special Assault Legion.

The 001 Assault Legion has 8 Ascension to God, 300 Demigods, and 5,000 Tenth Order warriors, all of whom are academy graduates from various academies, with the Sixth Academy having the most.

All members of the Assault Legion cultivate avatar-type cultivation methods, with an average of three avatars per person.

Only 8 of them are graduates serving their military service; the rest are official soldiers, forming the basic core of the Assault Legion.

The Assault Legion appears to have only a little over five thousand people, but with all avatars deployed, they total thirty thousand.

Lin Chen left the troop transport ship and, following the guidance, walked alone into the somewhat quiet 001 Assault Legion's station.

Upon entering the station gate, he saw a corporal-level non-commissioned officer squatting idly on the ground; when the non-commissioned officer saw him, he immediately became excited and was in front of Lin Chen in a blink of an eye.

"Junior, I am Zhao Shijie; you can just call me Squad Leader Zhao. Welcome to the 001 Assault Legion. You are the only one this year qualified to join the 001 Assault Legion."

"Squad Leader Zhao, is the entry threshold for our 001 Assault Legion that high?"

"It's very high. There aren't many graduates with Tenth Order cultivation, at least three avatars, and a steady personality. You're the only one this year, and last year there were only seven."

"Squad Leader Zhao, what about your situation?"

"I'm already 31 years old and graduated many years ago. I still feel comfortable staying in the Assault Legion, so I chose to become an official soldier and officially became a member of 001."

"I see."

Zhao Shijie took Lin Chen to the logistics department, introducing him to the 001 Assault Legion and its current mission along the way.

At the 001 Assault Legion's logistics department, Squad Leader Zhao registered Lin Chen and his four avatars, generating identification numbers and issuing the Army's single-soldier configuration for the avatars.

From now on, the numbers would be the avatars' names.

Copy Body, 35678.

Essence Clone, 35679.

Qi Clone, 35680.

Gods Avatar, 35681.

The 001 Assault Legion, the old sixth's main base.

The main body would absolutely not appear without reason; all missions were carried out by avatars, so the registration of avatars' identities and the supply of military equipment were of paramount importance.

"Junior, our 001 doesn't have that many rules, and it's relatively free normally. There are only three things to remember: the main body needs to apply to the commander to leave the military camp during non-combat times, the main body must absolutely not leave the military camp during combat, and military missions must be executed unconditionally when issued."

"Yes, Squad Leader Zhao."

"No need to be so serious. From now on, call me Old Zhao, and I'll call you Old Lin. Now I'll take you to meet the other members of our Huahai Squad."

"Okay, Old Zhao."

"Old Lin, you're on the ball."

Men's friendships are that simple; without conflicts of interest, everyone gets along happily, doing whatever feels comfortable, and a simple address can bring them closer.
