Chapter 234: The Melting Orphnoch Force Makes its First Appearance
imperial capital.
A dedicated training ground for city defense police officers.
The area is usually filled with intense training, with soldiers shouting battle cries and the clanging of equipment echoing through the sky.
However, it is unusually quiet here today.
The once bustling training ground was deserted, and the guards who were originally responsible for guarding it had all withdrawn, leaving only emptiness and silence.
Instead, an internal affairs unit from the military took over the security work on site.
Not long after, several fully armed, all-black armored vehicles slowly drove into the area below the stands of the training ground.
The vehicle is well-equipped with various weapon systems, demonstrating its formidable combat capabilities.
Upon seeing the vehicle arrive, Major General Quan Jin did not hesitate to take off and quickly run forward in a standard running posture.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the first armored vehicle. He deftly opened the door himself and took a few steps back.
Immediately afterwards, with a solemn expression and upright posture, he gave a dignified and standard military salute to the people inside the vehicle.
"General Dong! Elder Chu!"
A steady, powerful voice came from inside the car: "Alright, no need for that. I'm just here to check on your training progress, not to give any specific instructions. Just continue as usual."
The speaker was none other than Elder Chu. As he finished speaking, he stepped out of the car and waved his hand gently, indicating that Major General Quan Jin did not need to accompany him.
Then, he walked straight past the entrance and strode towards the stands.
Faced with Elder Chu's actions, Quan Jin couldn't help but feel somewhat at a loss.
For a moment, he stood there, not knowing what to do, and could only turn to General Dong beside him for help.
General Dong nodded slightly.
"Don't worry about it, Old Master Chu has always been like this."
"Actually, although Elder Chu is currently serving in the cabinet, he previously served as the head of the military for quite some time."
"I personally reported your plan to Elder Chu, and he was the one who ultimately approved it and signed the document."
"So just relax and do your job well!" General Dong said, patting Quan Jin's broad shoulder gently before turning and walking steadily toward the stands.
Quan Jin stood motionless, as if frozen in place, his face as changeable as the summer sky, sometimes so gloomy it seemed to drip water, sometimes showing a hint of barely perceptible joy, but these emotions quickly receded like the tide, replaced by deep worry and solemnity.
Thus, his expression kept changing, making it difficult for anyone to fathom his true thoughts.
After a long while, time seemed to stand still.
Finally, a young officer in a crisp military uniform, with the rank of major gleaming on his shoulder insignia, strode up to Quan Jin's side.
He first gave a standard military salute, then straightened up and reported loudly, "General Quan, the fusion force has arrived at the training ground as planned. May we begin the exercise immediately?"
Upon hearing this question, Quan Jin's somewhat wandering thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality.
He frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before replying, "Yes, go down and inform all personnel involved in the confrontation to be fully prepared and ready to receive orders at any time!"
After receiving clear instructions, the major saluted again, then turned and quickly left to carry out his mission.
Quan Jin didn't linger any longer. After taking a deep breath and adjusting himself, he also strode towards the stands.
.................................................. ...
As time ticked by, a somber atmosphere gradually filled the training ground.
Both sides have already deployed their respective experimental teams and are on high alert.
On the left is the Red Team, representing the military's internal affairs forces.
Their formation was impressive and diverse, including a tank platoon, followed by an armored platoon, and a full fifty fully armed soldiers lined up in formation.
On the opposite right side was the blue team, composed of fifteen people with blank expressions and empty, lifeless eyes.
These people looked lifeless, but they subtly exuded an aura of violent bloodlust.
At this moment, Quan Jin and General Dong, who were on the stands, looked at each other and exchanged a knowing glance before giving the signal to officially begin the exercise.
In an instant, a deafening roar came from the Red Team's camp. Tanks and armored units opened fire simultaneously, and dense artillery fire poured down on the Blue Team like raindrops.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and smoke filled the air, turning the entire training battlefield into a fiery hell.
Such fierce firepower amazed most of the officers in the stands, who unanimously agreed that it was a clear indication that victory was in sight.
However, just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, the changes within the blue team were astonishing.
Suddenly, a man standing at the forefront of the blue team raised his head and roared. His body surface was covered with dazzling white patterns that spread rapidly like nimble snakes.
Immediately following, accompanied by a powerful energy surge, the man's body rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic ten-meter-tall rhinoceros, Orphnoch!
This colossal creature exuded a terrifying aura. It suddenly spread its arms, and a dazzling blue light shield appeared, intercepting all the cannonballs fired by the red team in mid-air.
At the same moment, the other fourteen people behind it were also inspired, and their forms changed rapidly, transforming into Orphnochs of various shapes in the blink of an eye.
Some of them are as large as small hills, with bulging muscles; others are small in size but incredibly fast, like ghosts; still others have sharp fangs and claws that gleam with a cold light.
With a deafening roar, the fifteen Orphnochs shot towards the Red Team's camp like arrows released from a bow.
Its speed was so fast that the infantrymen in the Red Army's trenches had no time to react.
In an instant, the Red Army soldiers were sent flying into the air by an incredibly powerful impact, and then crashed heavily out of the trench.
If this weren't a drill, they would probably be a complete mess by now.
The tank and armored units located at the rear were also not spared.
By the time the Orphnochs reached them, the tank's guns were just beginning to adjust their angles, but it was already too late.
With a deafening roar, the steel behemoths, each weighing tens of tons, were easily overturned as if they were made of paper.
In an instant, smoke and dust filled the battlefield, and the originally orderly Red Army troops collapsed completely in just a few minutes, losing all their combat effectiveness.
At this moment, the spectators in the stands witnessed this amazing scene and were all stunned, involuntarily gasping for breath.
Who would have thought that this well-equipped and well-trained armed force would be so easily defeated?
In just a few minutes, they were completely overwhelmed by a group of fused Orphnochs and wiped out. The outcome of this exercise was far beyond the expectations of the military!
