Chapter 604: Chapter 604 Battlefield Rules
On the day before officially setting out for the front lines, Yang Yu and his comrades returned to the Blood Lion Mansion, to listen to the necessary precautions for warfare.
Since they were the last to decide on being sent to the front, naturally, only the three of them attended the class.
First of all, the use of large-scale destructive magic was restricted, only to be permitted when cornered and left with no other choice, absolutely no preparations for powerful destructive spells for sneak attacks in advance were allowed.
Next, during the clash of armies, it’s generally commander against commander, those who beco commanders all possess great martial strength, and the soldiers willing to join must be prepared for certain death.
Commander to commander, one on one, could only occur in the most ideal situation.
Then, there was the matter of prisoners of war; as long as the enemy surrendered and had no will to fight, they could be taken prisoner and must be treated well….
….
The instructor explained all of the matters of the battlefield to Yang Yu, many of which were familiar.
Opposition to the massacre of civilians, prohibition of large-scale weaponry, prohibition of poison gas, good treatnt for prisoners of war, etc…
All of these were clearly stipulated in the war agreent proposed and signed by the Dragon God Evaluation Country, and any violation of these rules could result in later accountability.
According to the instructor, the Dragon God Evaluation Country would not directly intervene in the war, but they had already dispatched personnel to secretly monitor the conflict.
Therefore, it’s best not to harbor any luck.
Moreover, if soone whose strength did not match the reported military strength appeared on the battlefield, the Dragon God Evaluation Country would decide to send a letter urging retreat based on that person’s performance or implicate their actions with their country.
But it appeared that those who grew during the war could be exempted from this rule.
In short, before the war began, if the giant dragons deed him to be a weakling unable to stir any trouble, they wouldn’t pay him any attention.
However, as the war progressed, if the weakling demonstrated more and more exceptional capabilities, behaving increasingly significantly, and gained stronger power,
As long as the giant dragons felt he was not hiding his strength, but gradually growing through his own efforts, they would acknowledge him, allowing that weakling to beco a true powerhouse, dominating the battlefield.
Unfortunately, such potential could easily beco a target, falling prey to elimination.
Hearing this, Yang Yu understood why the war between Wansheng Country and the Luo Ze Empire had been at a stalemate.
In reality, wars often beco a contest of who can be more ruthless, using any ans necessary to achieve strategic objectives, often resulting in a large number of the populace suffering.
But in this “ga”, with the presence of exceedingly powerful beings like giant dragons serving as impartial “referees,” both Wansheng Country and the Luo Ze Empire showed restraint, preventing the situation from quickly collapsing to one side.
However, it seed the giant dragons did not denounce nor penalize all inhumane actions, instead, they maintained impartiality while minimally interfering with the affairs of each nation.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the giant dragons, this war was more like a ga.
They wanted to see what kind of person would erge on this battlefield and lead the war to its conclusion.
Now clear on the rules of war, Yang Yu felt sowhat relieved, because the old demons with formidable powers were restricted, and he and his squad could act more freely.
To prevent individuals from intentionally concealing their power, causing unnecessary trouble, before adding soldiers to the front lines, every country would use crystal balls similar to those of the adventurer’s guild to test the strength of their soldiers.
Yang Yu and the others also followed the instructions for ability testing, just like at the adventure guild, the Crystal Ball only showed five nurical values: Strength, Defense, Intelligence, Special Defense, and Speed.
Yang Yu’s test results were Strength A-, Defense A-, Intelligence B , Special Defense A-, Speed S-. Bai Jin’s test results were Strength C, Defense C , Intelligence S, Special Defense A-, Speed A, and Iyas’s test results were Strength A-, Defense A-, Intelligence A , Special Defense B, Speed A.
Lotcar and He ng also underwent the testing.
The comprehensive test results of all the individuals were above A- and below A , belonging to a mid-range combat power. As long as the combined rating surpassed S to reach S , they would no longer be able to participate in this war.
However, Yang Yu and his colleagues were not in this category without any issues.
After the testing, Yang Yu asked the instructor a few questions.
These included, “Will assassinating the enemy leader lead to disqualification,” “Is it permissible to harm the enemy using the forces of nature instead of forbidden thods,” “If a prisoner is too arrogant, and you punch him twice, does that count as mistreating the prisoner,” and “Does defecting and leaking state secrets go against the Dragon God’s moral views, incurring the giant dragon’s wrath?”
The instructor looked at Yang Yu with a face full of grievance, wondering where he ca up with such bizarre questions, and not believing he would be able to rember so much when he would be sent to the battlefield with the recruits the next day.
But after all, it was under Qian Xialan’s approval that Yang Yu and his friends were allowed to join the training temporarily, so the instructor still patiently answered each of Yang Yu’s questions.
This way, Yang Yu and Bai Jin spent another fulfilling day.
Following a good rest the next day, Yang Yu and his team gathered again on the plains of the Blood Lion Mansion, following the instructions of their superiors and bringing along the required items.
Each type of soldier wore their respective military dress.
The common soldiers wore Wansheng Country’s standard-issue white iron Armor, with a lion’s head engraved on the chest, and most weapons were mass-produced Silver Swords and Shields of blue quality.
Archers wore lightweight cloth armor, carrying a quiver and a Longbow, and both were also mass-produced items.
As for the Magicians, they naturally wore Magic Robes and held Magic Wands.
Since many people had been adventurers before joining the army, or were accustod to using other weapons, Wansheng Country did not rigidly require the use of weapons and Armor issued by the country during combat.
As long as they filed a report, swore to obey commands, and passed the tests, everyone was allowed to use their own previously prepared weapons and Armor for combat.
The world was different from the world Yang Yu and his colleagues were from; uniformity indeed facilitated command.
But in a world where high-end combat power could crush countless people, it was more reassuring to let capable individuals demonstrate their true strength.
Yang Yu and his friends naturally also received their military uniforms, but they did not plan to change into them afterward.
The weapons and Equipnt they wore were things they had spent a lot of money on, and these items were far superior to the standardized ones issued by the Wansheng Country. Switching them out would significantly reduce their abilities.
Under the guidance of the Commander, Yang Yu and his team lined up and entered the ranks of the military.
Once they were all positioned and arranged in line in front of the Blood Lion Mansion, a middle-aged man whom Yang Yu had never seen before slowly stepped forward.
He wore attire similar to that of the common soldiers, but the color was much darker. He cleared his throat and began to speak:
“My na is Gla and I am the veteran responsible for leading you new recruits to the frontline.
Next, I have sothing important to say, so please prick up your ears and listen closely!”
