Chapter 55 Forced Conscription! Those Heartless Little Insects!

Chapter 55: Forced Conscription! The Insane Little Bugs!

Walking where the water is shallow, one moves with ease.

Walking where the water is deep, one's whole body is restricted.

As the duration of the Bug Legion's attack on the Great Wall Watch grew longer, the restrictions they faced would deepen—every battle that took place over these three months proved this point!

"No! I can't continue a war of attrition with the Great Wall Watch!"

Takuya Kojiro furrowed his brows tightly.

That fight to the death, the battle to the final chapter at Sihang Warehouse, had already shown him the terror of the Great Wall Soldiers!

They simply weren't afraid of death!

No matter how heavy the casualties his Bug Legion inflicted on the Great Wall, as long as a single person remained alive, they would grab their weapons and rush to the very front of the battlefield!

Such an army was the most terrifying, and it was exactly what Takuya Kojiro least wanted to face!

He knew very well,

that if he didn't speed up the clear rate...

the Bug Legion in the Great Wall region would likely face more and more restrictions, and their advantage would continue to diminish with every battle!

In the end...

he might truly be unable to complete the clearing of this dungeon.

Thinking of this, Takuya Kojiro decisively called the General Command Center; he wanted to dispatch more soldiers to the Great Wall!

This time!

He would not only rely on superior military equipment but also on a superior number of soldiers to break the Great Wall's defense!

"Beep, beep, beep."

After two soft rings, the General Command Center answered the Grand Commander's call.

The person in charge over there greeted Takuya Kojiro respectfully: "Good afternoon, Your Excellency Grand Commander. May I ask why you are calling the General Command Center at this time?"

"I want to know how many mobilizable soldiers the Bug Empire currently has!" Takuya Kojiro went straight to the point.

Hearing this, the person in charge of the legion said: "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency Grand Commander. I will investigate the number of mobilizable soldiers in the Bug Empire right away."

After he spoke, only the 'tap-tap' sound of searching through records remained on the other end of the line.

Clearly,

this was the officer investigating the information Takuya Kojiro wanted to know.

After three minutes, a reply finally came from the other end: "Your Excellency Grand Commander, currently... the number of mobilizable soldiers in the Empire is 5,000."

"How can there only be 5,000 people?"

Hearing this, Takuya Kojiro's brow furrowed even deeper.

Because sending these 5,000 people to the Great Wall Watch battlefield would have no effect at all!

"Your Excellency Grand Commander."

Seemingly hearing the anger in Takuya Kojiro's tone, the officer on the phone hurried to explain:

"The situation is like this."

"According to your previous orders, while the Empire's main forces were attacking the Great Wall Watch, they were also dispatched to various other war zones!"

"Now, the fighting is intense in every war zone, and the soldiers there cannot be moved!"

"Therefore, the General Command Center can only mobilize soldiers from within the Empire, but there are only a few tens of thousands of soldiers left in the homeland. Most of these people are needed to guard the mainland. We had to scrape together from everywhere just to pull out these 5,000..."

Hearing this officer's explanation, Takuya Kojiro's anger grew even more!

He wasn't originally from this world!

Nor was he the Grand Commander of this Bug Country!

What he wanted to do was not lead the Bug Empire to world domination, but to complete his mission of clearing the Great Wall Watch!

But now,

his legion was scattered across various battlefields for various reasons!

He couldn't even commit more soldiers to the subsequent clearing of the Great Wall Watch; how could he not be angry!

"I don't want to hear these excuses!"

Takuya Kojiro decisively acted like a rogue: "I don't care what method you use! In the shortest time possible, I want to see the birth of an elite army! I want to see them enter the Great Wall battlefield!"

"If you cannot complete the task within the specified time, then commit seppuku to apologize!"

After speaking, Takuya Kojiro didn't care about the reaction from the General Command Center and hung up the phone immediately!

...

This behavior, acting like a common thug, left the players completely stunned.

One by one, they typed question marks in the livestream chat.

Expressing their confusion:

[?]

[What's going on? You, the grand Grand Commander of an Empire, can't think of a way, so you just shift the blame to your subordinates?]

[Good heavens, Takuya Kojiro has refreshed my understanding once again; he really showed me how 'formidable' the Bug People are!]

[No, I thought the Great Wall Watch was your clearing mission?]

[Just dumping the task on subordinates, what the hell?]

[Being a hands-off boss? In the war livestreams I've watched, Decipherers who act as hands-off bosses never have a good ending!]

[More than just not having a good ending, it's practically miserable to the extreme!]

[Clearly, this Azure Star traitor entrusted with heavy responsibility by the Kanluo Civilization can no longer think of a better way to quickly clear the Great Wall Watch.]

[The Great Wall Watch dungeon is simply impossible to clear quickly!]

[Just look at the Great Wall Soldiers; as long as they have a breath left, they will fight the enemy to the death. This alone is enough to prove that ending the battle quickly is impossible!]

[But if it's not cleared quickly, the Bug Legion will sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of the Great Wall, until finally...]

[Sigh... it seems this Great Wall Watch dungeon that everyone looked down on isn't that simple. Maybe this will be the second over-powered dungeon created by Designer No. 009.]

[If Raging Waves is compared to a spear, then the Great Wall Watch is a shield!]

[The spear can pierce all things, and the shield can defend against everything!]

[To pierce the thickest shield, one can only use the sharpest spear, but the problem is that the spear and the shield can't clash...]

[We can only wait and see what method that officer will have to replenish the troops.]

The viewers in the livestream chat were discussing fervently.

They believed

that the sturdiness of the Great Wall Watch had exceeded imagination, and to pierce it, one could only use the sharpest spear!

But was that really the answer?

In the subsequent great battle of solo-clearing Raging Waves, the Great Wall Watch would use facts to tell everyone:

Even with the sharpest spear, this shield cannot be pierced!

...

war world.

The officer who received the Grand Commander's iron order had a heavy expression; he lowered his head, pondering the method of replenishing troops.

"There's no other way, I can only do this..."

Soon, he raised his head and looked out the window at the bustling city.

He already had a method to replenish the troops.

And that method was...

To forcibly conscript the able-bodied citizens of the Bug Empire!

To him,

as long as they held guns and ammunition in their hands, these ordinary people could become soldiers, could go to the battlefield to kill enemies, and could win glory for the Bug Empire!

This was the Bug.

For the sake of profit, they made no distinction between friend and foe; when they got ruthless, they wouldn't even spare their own people!
