Chapter 1547 Soldiers and Hunters
Under the leadership of the guild, various major institutions that had no subordinate relationship with each other established a fast track with the military, and resources from all aspects were integrated and gathered towards East Doruma.
The number of personnel and supplies required by the Black Dragon Suppression Team is not actually large, but they require the absolute highest quality.
Ordinary soldiers and hunters are useless in front of it. A glance at it, or even just the aura it exudes, will drive those with weak wills into madness.
In a quiet room in the temporary military base, a creepy howl was heard.
"Uhhhhhh-!"
A burly soldier held his head and screamed wildly, his cheeks covered with bloody marks from his own nails.
Upon seeing this, the general quickly waved his hand and used a piece of inconspicuous ancient cloth to cover the Evil Dragon's Eye on the shelf in the middle of the room, isolating the aura.
The soldier fell to the ground twitching all over, with large water stains appearing under his body. It was obvious that he was incontinent.
The general sighed heavily and ordered his men to help the poor soldier, who could hardly walk, up and take him out of the room.
The doctors waiting outside the room deftly lifted him onto a stretcher and sent him to the infirmary for treatment.
In the preparation room, the soldiers who were waiting for the test looked pale. It was hard to imagine what kind of torture those crazy people had experienced.
"This is the 23rd soldier who has fallen into madness." The general's already dark face looked even gloomier, "The number of soldiers with milder symptoms but who have also lost their combat capabilities is more than twice this number.
So far, there are only six soldiers who can actively get rid of the evil eye's aura in a short period of time.
Less than one in ten people pass the test.”
Ansir, who was invited here by the general just a few minutes ago and witnessed a soldier going crazy on the spot, rubbed his eyes and said, "General, to be honest, I'm not surprised.
Anyone who can adapt to this atmosphere at the first contact is definitely not an ordinary person.
People like you who are almost unaffected are one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand."
The resolute general was silent for a moment before asking, "Among the people selected by your guild, the pass rate is nearly one-third, and even those with poor performance rarely go crazy to this extent.
Is the gap between hunters and soldiers so huge?"
Anxier explained helplessly: "You should first look at who the Great Elders have chosen. In the initial list, the lower limit is the Seven Star Hunter.
Even after listening to Gordon's advice and lowering the standards, one must be at least a five-star hunter to be eligible to be on the list and participate in the test of facing the Evil Eye.
There is also a prerequisite here - those participating in the assessment must be experienced in fighting against ancient dragons.
Even though they may have only manipulated heavy weapons to attack the Laoshan Dragon, a super-giant ancient dragon of the Peak Dragon family.
But there is a complete difference between those who have experienced it and those who have not.
Not to mention those elite hunters who have experienced battles with ancient dragons, and high-level hunters like us who have hunted ancient dragons many times.
Even a hunter of two or three stars has a much stronger will than an ordinary person.
Monsters like the Giant Wild Boar King and the Blue Speed Dragon King are enough to make most people weak in the knees.
If the pressure from the giant boar king is ten, the pressure from large flying dragons may be dozens or hundreds, and the pressure from ancient dragons may be hundreds or thousands, while the "taboo" cannot be quantified.
You have these soldiers, who have little experience fighting monsters, face the Evil Eye.
It's like skipping the training steps for recruits, skipping the adaptation and screening, and directly letting ordinary people who have never been exposed to these things to run cross-country for dozens of kilometers with weights.
That can kill people.”
Ansel's words may not sound good, but they are clear and concise enough.
The general realized the difference and was silent for a moment. Then he said to the guards outside the door, "Pass the order to suspend the assessment and let the doctors focus on treating the crazy soldiers."
Ansir added, "This kind of damage is on the spiritual level. Perhaps we can find two hunting flute players to play some exciting music to stimulate the potential of the wounded. It may be effective."
"Do as he says."
After giving the order, the general sighed heavily, "This is my mistake. I only thought of gathering soldiers with good shooting skills, and thought that as long as they were brave, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
I underestimated monsters and the hunter profession."
Hearing this, Anhil heaved a sigh of relief.
In his impression, most high-ranking military personnel are firm and stubborn. Even if they hit their heads against a wall, they will still go ahead and break the wall even if it means getting a bloody head.
Moreover, as the largest violent agency of mankind, the military has always been dissatisfied with the hunters.
They never thought that their own military strength would be worse than that of hunters. They believed that the army relied on collective strength, and it would be easy to hunt large monsters under group combat.
In the early years, there was also an arrogant officer who formed a corps called "the army". (mentioned in the official novel)
All members used spears as weapons, ignored the guild's warnings, and hunted monsters everywhere.
Ordinary large monsters were certainly no match for them. Large flying dragons like the Rathalos and Ceratopsians could only die on the spot when besieged by dozens of “Spear Users”.
Until they got into trouble with an ancient dragon.
The outcome was, of course, total annihilation.
Even so, there are still people who do not believe in the horror of the "mobile disaster" and stubbornly believe that the reason for the failure is that there are not enough people.
If fifty soldiers are not enough, then use a hundred. If a hundred are not enough, then use two hundred. We will eventually be able to kill the ancient dragon.
Fortunately, the general was not that kind of person. At least after hitting his forehead, he knew to turn back.
"It seems that the reserve members of the bombardment regiment also need to be re-screened, Mr. Ansel, do you have any suggestions?
I have the authority to mobilize elite troops and knights from various countries, so feel free to raise any ideas you have."
Ansir had actually thought about this question, so he answered quickly, "There's no need to be too strict about shooting techniques. The target won't be small, and shooting accuracy is not the key under concentrated fire.
Besides that, the most important thing is not 'character' but 'experience'.
It is difficult to tell whether one is brave inside from the outside, so it is better to change your thinking and directly summon soldiers who have experience in fighting monsters and even ancient dragons.
Generally, only countries that are frequently attacked by monsters will have this special corps that is between the army and the hunting group.
For example, the Kingdom Knights and Artillery Team at the Elgard stronghold.
They have been fighting monsters infected with gnawing insects and even strange ancient dragons in the past few years, so their psychological endurance is naturally much higher.
We worked together to hunt an ancient dragon not long ago, and those knights and artillery team members showed no fear at all."
"I see. Are there any soldiers or knights with experience in this area? This is indeed a good idea." The general nodded heavily. "Do you have any other suggestions?"
“.Yes, you don’t actually need to keep it strictly confidential to the soldiers and let them enter the room with a confused and uneasy mentality.
Then I looked up and saw the evil eye on the shelf. It was too much of a mental oppression.
In terms of difficulty, this method is even more difficult than the Great Elder placing the evil eye in a metal box and letting the examinees open it themselves.
At least you should let them be mentally prepared.
For example, if we tell them in advance that they are about to face something extremely terrifying or dangerous, then they will be alert and less likely to go crazy.
".I see."
