#511 - Chapter 511: The Legion of the Dead
“Thump, thump, thump, thump!”
With heavy footsteps, one legion after another quickly passed through these teleportation gates.
One soldier after another, fully armed to the teeth, silently walked out and stood before Wu Wei.
Wu Wei noticed that whether it was Han Xuan's infantry or armored troops,
these seemingly weak soldiers were all silent.
They made no unnecessary noise during their march.
This situation made Wu Wei wonder if these soldiers were mutes.
However, more than whether these warriors were mutes, Wu Wei was more concerned about their weapons and equipment.
Especially their heavy weapons!
First, let's talk about their infantry legions. They each wore a set of gray military uniforms, lightweight but high-quality helmets, and they had two weapons.
One was a fully automatic standard-issue rifle modeled after the Royal Guards, and the other was a small hand cannon specifically for blasting heavily armored targets.
Wu Wei didn't think much of these standard-issue rifles.
After all, the quality of these imitations was visibly poor.
But this small hand cannon caught Wu Wei's attention.
Wu Wei had seen the existence of this small hand cannon in class, but he didn't have a deep impression of it.
After all, the instructor at the time had said that the only purpose of this hand cannon was to allow one's soldiers to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy before dying.
Other than that, this small hand cannon, which could only load one round and would cause great damage to one's own body, had no practical significance!
That's why Wu Wei was curious as to why Han Xuan, a veteran lord who had fought countless battles, would force his warriors to use such weapons.
However, Han Xuan's terrifying number of legions didn't just consist of infantry.
He also had established medical corps, signal corps, and flying units... but these seemingly high-value units didn't move Wu Wei.
What really moved him was the heavy artillery legion standing behind this group of infantry!
As the teleportation gates continued to operate, one heavy and terrifying super-giant cannon after another appeared on the battlefield.
The size of each of these cannons was larger than any tank Wu Wei had ever seen.
The thickness of their barrels was almost enough to fit two orcs.
Wu Wei found it hard to imagine just how powerful the shells fired from these giant cannons would be.
However, it was worth noting that these cannons were not self-propelled artillery with engine sets underneath, but old-fashioned towed artillery!
The movement of each giant cannon required the concerted effort of hundreds of warriors.
But even such a cumbersome and meticulous task could be easily accomplished by these artillerymen.
It was as if they and this machine had become organically integrated.
As mortals, they had long been transformed into a part of this war machine through countless磨炼!
However, besides these equipment and weapons, Wu Wei also noticed a rather interesting point.
That was that these warriors were not afraid of him at all!
The reason Wu Wei said this was because when he unconsciously emitted abyssal aura and looked at ordinary creatures with his eyes representing the will of the abyss, they would often tremble unconsciously.
This trembling came from the warnings of the soul and even the sea of mind.
Many creatures were unable to restrain this trembling.
But these warriors did not!
For example, when Wu Wei looked at one of the obviously underage warriors with his scarlet vertical pupils, the other party also responded to his gaze.
However, there was no fear in the eyes of this young man, and his body did not tremble.
Even in Wu Wei's indifferent eyes, this young man appeared even firmer than usual!
“This…”
“Are they really warriors of the human race?”
Wu Wei looked at these strange warriors and asked Han Xuan beside him.
And Han Xuan laughed proudly.
“Of course, you little brat!”
“As one of the highest combat powers of mankind, a figurehead of the Human Empire, my army is of course human!”
“How about it, is my army very impressive?”
Wu Wei shook his head.
“Not to the point of being impressive yet.”
“Although their military discipline is well maintained and their heavy weapons are powerful.”
“But your enemy is the monster called the Night King.”
“Sending such an army, without any high-end combat power to maintain it, to the front line is no different from sending them to their deaths.”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Han Xuan shook his head.
“No, Wu Wei.”
“Although you understand war, you don’t understand the army.”
“So-called war is not entirely supported by high-end combat power.”
“The real war is precisely completed by one group of small people after another!”
“So…”
“Wu Wei, you brat, open your eyes wide and let me give you a lesson.”
“I want you to see with your own eyes how my legion will drive away the monster called the Night King!”
“My legion called the Suicide Squad!”
