1774: Chapter 172: The Draft Order Arrives 1774: Chapter 172: The Draft Order Arrives After settling his family mbers, Peter Brown went to the Moon to establish a base, and he hadn’t been working on it for a few days when Paul Nash found him.
Seeing Peter Brown working on the base, Paul Nash sighed and said, “Stop what you’re doing, your military conscription order has arrived!”
Inviting Paul Nash into a courtyard he had arranged, Peter Brown brewed a pot of tea for him and asked, “What exactly is the situation?”
“You know, although our Divine Nation is vast, precisely because it’s so large, there are problems everywhere within the country.
Our Star Domain is still better off, but the Cancer Domain has now descended into chaos.”
“What happened?”
“This is the situation: the Cancer Domain area has always bordered another Divine Nation.
The region was conquered by our Divine Nation, and now, after so internal issues within the Divine Nation, so strong persons in that region seized the opportunity to cause trouble.
After a sudden battle, the Purpolia Kingdom suffered a defeat, with many areas being occupied.
The Divine Nation is now assembling a punitive force and conscripting from our region.
Your one-star status had just been reported, and it’s known that you have never served in the army before, so this ti you must enlist.”
Looking towards Paul Nash, Peter understood that none of this was Paul Nash’s fault.
Being newly advanced to one-star and hailing from the Lower Realm, they couldn’t risk not reporting him; if they didn’t, they would be punishing themselves.
“How do I get to the army?”
Regarding this, Peter truly knew nothing.
“You’ll use the teleportation formation from My Place to get there.
After gathering in the Shire, you will then convene at the Provincial Governnt House.
From there, the Provincial Governnt House will organize and lead the way.”
“Is there any way to ensure my survival?” Peter inquired.
Shaking his head, Paul Nash said, “The troops I served with were peacekeeping soldiers; we never fought in any wars.
I honestly don’t know what could help you; you’ll have to rely on yourself.”
Glancing towards Earth, Paul Nash said, “I will take care of your family; you can leave with peace of mind.”
“I appreciate it.”
“Sigh, I had hoped that you would cooperate with in safeguarding this region.
I never expected such an incident to occur, and now I cannot assist you.
Be very careful, that’s all.”
Peter did not leave any ssages for his family; they all knew that such a day would co for him.
So after conversing with Paul Nash for a while, Peter went with him towards his station.
“Peter, the current situation is really complicated.
The war this ti, I’ve learned from my family, is no ordinary conflict.
So aim to amass a great share of luck through this war.
One misstep and you could beco cannon fodder.
Stay alert, and if you can escape, do so.
Of course, you shouldn’t desert your post.
You know the Divine Nation takes a heavy hand towards deserters, killing them on the spot.”
“We’re about to break through the protective shield, be ready.”
While in flight, Paul Nash suddenly spoke up.
Before Peter could understand what was happening, he noticed there indeed was a protective shield or sothing similar ahead.
When he saw Paul Nash head straight into it and then vanish, Peter also rushed toward it and collided with the shield.
As Peter collided with it, what appeared to be a robust shield shattered in an instant, and Peter found himself bursting through.
This sensation was extrely peculiar; it was as though he had suddenly erged from water, or as if he’d burst forth from a mire.
In any case, it was an entirely novel feeling.
After breaking out, Peter found himself standing in starry space, and the sight of planets felt like surfacing from underwater.
Seeing Peter staring in amazent, Paul Nash laughed heartily and said, “How about that, unexpected, isn’t it?”
“I really hadn’t imagined it; is this what you ant when you said that Our Place was covered by a shield?”
“In order to hoard luck, people of the Divine Race create special spaces at ho.
In your terms, these are like breeding grounds.
To put it bluntly, where you co from is essentially a place where you’re being bred for the sole purpose of harvesting an unceasing flow of luck from you.”
Though Peter wasn’t too comfortable with this statent, it now seed to be true, and he felt rather stifled.
Looking at Peter, Paul Nash continued, “Of course, these breeding grounds also offer a chance: if soone can break out, such individuals are powerful in every aspect.
The re fact you escaped proves your strength.
You should take pride in that.”
“Who created this breeding ground?”
“I truly don’t know.
From what we can see of your place, it’s actually not that significant in the eyes of the Divine Race, quite small even.
Due to its size, few pay attention to what happens there.
I wouldn’t have noticed your developnt if I hadn’t spent money to acquire this area.
No matter how advanced your technology beca, it couldn’t break through that shield—any attempt to breach it with technological power would be extrely difficult.”
“Even on Earth, so postulated that the planet was covered by a shield and that what we saw was rely an illusion.
It seems technology still allows people to realize certain things, doesn’t it?”
“Realization aside, to truly break free requires two things: physically you must withstand the chaotic currents of starry space and survive; and second, you must break the protective shield.
You’ve seen it for yourself; this shield is not ordinary and has viscous properties.
A flying vehicle would have been stuck on contact.”
“Peter, strive to gain more luck.
If you can amass even a one-star worth of luck, you can save your family mbers.”
Stirred by these words, Peter felt a surge of motivation.
This was a pathway into the Divine Realm.
“If they co, as one-star destiny individuals, do they have to serve in the military?”
“That will depend on you.
If you beco strong enough, even if they serve, with your protection, nothing too dangerous will happen to them.
Many who co from the Lower Realm are busy earning luck.”
“The way you put it, the battlefield really does seem like a good place to earn luck!”
“Rember, if you encounter soone with a Star Planet, eliminating them allows you to move that planet into your domain.
Then you will have the luck of a one-star.
However, such people are rare.”
The more Peter heard, the more it seed there were plentiful ways to seize luck, the key being whether he could seize the opportunity himself.
“This region is like an ocean, and up ahead is my territory.
Use the teleportation formation to leave when the ti cos.” Paul Nash continued to lead Peter forward.
