Hasan and several young mbers of the Storm Wolf Tribe were sowhat at a loss as they looked at the training armor before them. These products, the crystallization of Iridium Star technology, possessed imnse allure. Even though Hasan and the others didn't understand what they were, they still thought they looked very cool and impressive.
Hasan pointed at a nearby Marine Corps mber clad in Army-Breaker Armor and asked, "Is this the sa thing they are wearing?"
Bai Zhongqi was in a good mood and explained to Hasan, "Essentially, it's similar, but not the sa—only superior warriors can wear the kind of Battle Armor that they do. What we have here is rely the most basic kind."
Indeed, this training version of the Powered Individual Armor fell short of the Army-Breaker Armor. Not only did it have less power, but it also lacked weapon slots. Its main purpose was to enhance the soldiers' strength and speed and to provide so low-altitude flight and attitude adjustnt capabilities, along with armor that could withstand light firearms used on Earth.
Actually, most Iridium Star soldiers wore the Army-Breaker Armor as soon as they entered the military camp, bypassing the training armor phase. However, for those from weaker physiques among the assimilated ethnicities, the training armor helped them gradually transition to effectively use the standard issue Army-Breaker Armor.
Bai Zhongqi had even taken the training armor as a base, removed so of the more advanced technologies, and modified it into the Saber-toothed Tiger Armor, which was to be given to the military of country C.
This type of Powered Individual Armor might not contain as many sophisticated technologies as the training armor, but its combat power was even slightly superior because it could be equipped with various weapon slots and was also capable of low-altitude raids.
With the help of the Marine Corps mber beside him, Hasan and the others, full of enthusiasm, donned the gray-white training armor. Upon activating the system, one of the young n exclaid in surprise, "I feel my strength has increased."
He squatted deeply then leaped up fiercely, unexpectedly flying up about five or six ters before heavily landing on the ground, creating a deep crater.
Another young man shouted loudly, and with his hands clasped into fists, he slamd into a large rock—there was a loud bang, and the whole rock shattered into fragnts.
Hasan also felt the imnse strength contained within the Battle Armor and exclaid, "This... this is simply a god's weapon!"
Only the tribes of the Southern Continent believed in gods, whereas the Northern Continent was composed of atheists.
Watching the restless young n eager to test their limits, Bai Zhongqi knew what they were thinking and said, "Don't even think about competing with my soldiers, not only is their armor stronger than yours, but they also know more about fighting than you do—you're just fledglings stretching your wings."
Hasan knew Bai Zhongqi wasn't lying to him; even though he and his companions had suddenly beco so powerful, he still harbored a deep fear of the Marine Corps mbers who could easily bring him down, not even fearing his Electric Arc.
"We have you wear this armor not because we want you to perish on the battlefield. The Iridium Star United Empire values the life of every citizen, every soldier, and won't let you die easily."
Hasan was sowhat moved when he heard this; on the grasslands, the lives of the tribespeople were as cheap as annual grasses that flourish one year and wither the next.
Even before the arrival of the Shangduohan, the grasslands were ho to various fierce animals and a treacherous natural environnt, where out of every ten children born in a tribe, only about two or three would survive past the age of ten.
The strife among the tribal people was severe; powerful tribes would attack weaker ones, plundering their food and taking their won. For the defeated tribal n, it was almost impossible to be absorbed into a new tribe as laborers or warriors; they would beco slaves to another tribe, deprived of freedom and the right to reproduce until their deaths.
After the Storm Wolf Tribe was annihilated by the Shangduohan Slave Hunting Team, only about sixty people remained. Even under the care of Hasan, the Prophet, tribes of dium status or better that had a prophet would still assimilate them. This was why Hasan and Liv so easily joined the Iridium Star "tribe," which they knew nothing about.
Compared to the brutal other tribes on the prairie or the greedy people of Shangduohan, these foreigners, though powerful, were much kinder. They provided every mber of the Storm Wolf Tribe with food and did not force them to do anything. Having received a promise from the "Chieftain," the Storm Wolf Tribe could join the new tribe instead of being enslaved, which sowhat relieved Hasan.
At that mont, even Liv stepped forward, batting her beautiful cyan-blue eyes, and looked at Bai Zhongqi, "Your Majesty, give a set of clothes too, I can fight as well.
But Hasan, frowning deeply, interrupted, "No, won should not go to war. War is a man's duty!"
Liv argued, "Why not? Those dwarves from the Northern Continent, even their n can't defeat the won. And with these clothes, won can beco strong too!"
At this point, Bai Zhongqi said, "Liv, I have another task for you."
Liv imdiately bead with joy, saying, "Whatever Your Majesty entrusts with, I can certainly accomplish it."
This made Hasan very anxious; he had always liked Liv, who was slightly older, beautiful, and intelligent. He feared that Bai Zhongqi, the young new Chieftain, might fancy Liv and take her for his own.
Bai Zhongqi said, "I intend to drive out those from the Northern Continent who enslave the people of the Southern Continent, allowing all the tribal people on the prairie to have food to eat and hos to live in. Everyone need not worry about dying due to bad weather or from the jaws of fierce beasts. Everyone can lead a better life. Liv, I will assign a squad of soldiers to follow you.
Go and persuade the people of other tribes to join my Empire and beco my subjects."
Naturally, Hasan did not want Liv to take on the task. He exclaid, "Liv is a woman, and the Chieftains and Prophets of the tribes will not trust a woman's word."
He originally intended to keep Liv safe, but instead, he spoke poorly. Liv, angered by Hasan's overtly sexist remarks, never believed that won were inferior to n. The beautiful girl from the Southern Continent got mad and jumped onto Hasan, pumling him fiercely. Hasan, because of his affection for her, dared not fight back.
Bai Zhongqi watched this wild and youthful couple's antics, much like playful young lions, with amusent. However, he still stopped Liv, saying, "Alright, go ahead with the task. We are now pushing forward towards the city of Infia. By evening, we can have dinner in the city of Infia."
But Hasan rubbed his head, Liv's blows were really heavy; a regular Earthling would probably have been killed by now. He asked puzzled, "What is dinner?"
Bai Zhongqi sighed, as food was scarce for the tribal people of the Southern Continent; they consud whatever they had imdiately to store energy. They did not have al tis, so naturally, they were unfamiliar with the term "dinner." Experience more content on empire
