Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 749 1 chance

Dawn is approaching and the sky is already turning pale, but this time of revival symbolizes the beginning of a nightmare in the western outskirts of the Beast Forest!

Hundreds of front-line outposts were reduced to ruins, with thick smoke and wailing, but they were soon drowned out by the sound of massive artillery fire.

The orc soldiers who witnessed their comrades dying beside them had no time to feel fear or sorrow before they had to launch a new round of attack and defense.

The Seth Empire had sufficient firepower, and they were extremely well prepared for this war of aggression.

As one of the three major human empires in the Central Plains, the Seth Empire has always been warlike. The Seth people are brave and aggressive, which is common knowledge on the continent. Therefore, the military strength of the Seth Empire is also the strongest among the three major human empires.

Artillery fire plowed the ground over and over again. The soldiers of the Beast Forest hid in the air-raid shelters and did not dare to go out. Every minute, the ground would shake violently, followed by thick smoke and flying ash. This situation lasted for several hours.

The Seth Empire was not in a hurry to use soldiers to attack. They were very patient and first used artillery with a very long range to clear the way, determined to occupy the western outer position.

Although with the weapons assistance from the Campbell family, the Beast Forest is still slightly inferior in terms of firepower coverage.

And most importantly, the Beast Forest’s defense line was too long. Before the war began, the Beast Forest had no idea where the Seth Empire would attack from.

In addition to the western outer position, there are more than a dozen positions in Shoulin that need to be defended. The initiative is always in the hands of the attacking party. As the defending party, Shoulin can only distribute the military forces to various positions to ensure that they are evenly distributed.

Therefore, for a while, facing the western outer position that was the focus of the Seth Empire's attack, Shou Lin was almost unable to resist and could only defend it with difficulty.

In an underground air-raid shelter of an outpost, dozens of soldiers huddled in a corner, trembling constantly as they held Campbell's magic guns. Although they had not slept all night, it was impossible for anyone to fall asleep amid the continuous earthquakes and artillery fire.

This is an extreme torture. Fear always surrounds everyone. Under the huge damage of long-range magical weapons, the mortal body is as fragile as tofu.

Everyone has witnessed their comrades being blown to death beside them, their bodies shattered to pieces and impossible to find.

"Damn it, are we going to wait here to die?"

"What military glory? On such a horrible battlefield, one can die if one is not careful. My brother just had half of his body cut off by a shell..."

"I really want to go home and farm. I can farm all day long. Even though it's tiring, I can eat and drink enough and live a comfortable life..."

"Wuwuwu... It's over. We must have been abandoned by the main force..."

Pessimistic mood permeated this small underground air-raid shelter. They came from different units and no one knew each other. They got separated in the sudden attack and hurriedly entered the air-raid shelter to avoid the artillery fire.

Not only that, in order to deal with those terrible giants, they had lost all their magic storage stones. Now all their weapons and equipment were disposable and could not be recharged. This made these orcs, who had only been in the army for a few months, extremely panicked.

Looking at the people who were facing collapse, Kodak shook his head helplessly. He was the highest-ranking officer here, but he was just a small platoon leader. Usually, he was just responsible for guarding the door when the officers held a meeting.

But unlike others, Kodak was not afraid. He was always checking his equipment, fearing that it would get stuck due to dust.

At the same time, Kodak was also constantly monitoring the communication magic stone, waiting for orders from his superior officers.

Kodak is from the Earth Tiger Orc tribe. He is stout and strong. Before joining the army, he was not an ordinary person, but a boxer in the underground black market. He earned money by sweating and blood, and lived a life on the edge of a knife all day long.

In Kodak's short thirty years of life, his family was broken, his parents were alcoholics, he was hungry as a child, and the gangs of the Tiger Orc tribe were rampant, which made his teenage years bleak.

It was not until he was 23 years old that Kodak was finally spotted by the owner of a boxing gym, and he worked as an illegal boxer for seven years.

This is a dangerous job because there are no restrictions in the underground ring, and Koda often sees his companions die in the ring.

If there had not been this battle to defend the Beast Forest, if the Campbell family had not moved in, Kodak would most likely have continued to fight underground boxing until one day he unfortunately died in the ring, ending his miserable and boring life.

Accustomed to life and death and meanness, Kodak is calmer than other Beast Forest soldiers in the face of the current desperate situation and only does the most right thing.

If the situation allowed, Kodak could even fall asleep in this situation.

Looking at his calloused fists, Koda took a deep breath. These hands were initially wrapped in bandages and wearing gloves, and now they were holding magical weapons.

Although he has been in the army for two months, Koda is still a little dazed.

Two months ago, Koda saw the Campbell family's recruitment notice on the street, which stated that all healthy orcs could join the army.

Regardless of gender, experience, or background, everyone can work together to protect the Beast Forest.

Without any hesitation, Kodak threw away the boxing gloves that had been with him for many years and walked straight to the conscription registration point.

Kodak didn't even look at the treatment of being a soldier or any benefits introduction. He didn't even know whether he was willing to protect the Beast Forest.

No matter what, Kodak became a Beast Forest soldier, and until now Kodak has not come to his senses.

But surprisingly, Kodak does not regret his decision, even though he can only hide from artillery fire in an air-raid shelter now.

Many people have asked Kodak why he became a soldier, and sometimes even Kodak himself asked himself.

His life was full of tragedy. He did not like his own tribe, nor did he like the military camp with many rules. He did not find the slogan of "Protect the Beast Forest" very passionate.

However, Kodak was selected as an outstanding model for six consecutive weeks.

Why did I become a soldier? It was okay to continue fighting in the black market. I was used to it anyway.

Feeling the terrible artillery fire coming from the ground, Kodak asked himself again, and perhaps there was still no answer this time.

"Attention, all units. Attention, all units. There is a report from the front. The artillery fire of the Seth Empire is about to stop. Their soldiers are about to launch the first round of charge. All remaining soldiers, please be ready!"

“Fight or die!”

Hearing this, Kodak quickly stopped thinking and immediately stood up to organize his equipment.

Pulling the bolt, loading the gun, and releasing the safety, all the actions are extremely standard and done in one go. Kodak is worthy of being an excellent model.

"Hey, what are you doing sitting on the ground? If you want to desert, I don't mind executing you on the spot!"

Kodak had a blank expression on his face and a cold tone. Everyone knew he was not joking, so they all stood up quickly and began to pack their equipment, not daring to be negligent at all.

"I have the highest military rank. Let's start the temporary formation now. I am the supreme commander of the team!"

The artillery fire on the ground stopped. Kodak pushed open the iron door of the air-raid shelter and walked out first without any fear.

At this moment, Kodak finally understood why he joined the army.

He just needed a chance, a chance to escape from the fucked up past thirty years of his life.

He hated his tragic past, so Kodak chose to join the army without hesitation and seize the only chance to escape.

Yes, it's better to die in an underground black market ring match than to have your body thrown in a dirty back alley to rot and stink.

Kodak hoped that he could die on the battlefield. Although his body might be shattered into pieces, at least there would be people who would remember him in the future.
