Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 702 Vanguard

In the eastern part of the Seth Empire, on the outskirts of Kusis Territory, the Second and Third Reich armies are stationed.

Before daybreak, Garen, wearing heavy magical armor, organized military training for thousands of people.

The Vanguard Army's training officer actually didn't need to get up early, but Garen had to work harder than anyone else, because only by making achievements would he have a chance to return to the ancient city of Kejie.

Garen was originally a glorious patrol knight captain, responsible for maintaining law and order in the ancient city of Kojie. It was a lucrative job. Although his monthly salary was only ten gold coins, the extra income he received from his social connections was considerable, and it was normal for him to earn thousands of gold coins a month.

However, a few weeks ago, due to Galen's poor performance and wrong decisions, almost all the churches on earth in the ancient city of Kotz were attacked, causing extremely heavy losses.

Especially the Earth Church on Church Street. Galen was smart enough to order everyone to use the wet earth method to extinguish the fire, but this was exactly what Rhea wanted, and the church was completely destroyed.

During the month when terrorist attacks continued to occur, Galen failed to save any of the churches on Earth. As the person in charge of maintaining law and order, he cannot escape blame.

After peace was restored in the ancient city of Kote, Galen was soon severely punished. He was sent to the border army and became a training officer of the vanguard.

If Garen did not have the support of his family, he would probably become a vanguard soldier with a very high mortality rate. He would have to rush to the front in the battle, specifically responsible for attracting firepower and spying on high-risk areas. To put it bluntly, he would be cannon fodder.

"Hurry up, everyone, move, don't drag your feet. You won't survive more than ten seconds on the battlefield at this weak speed!"

Garen swung the whip and slammed it heavily on the ground. All the vanguard soldiers were trembling with fear. Their steps became faster. The cracks on the ground were shocking. If the whip hit them, they would be half-crippled if not killed.

As the overall speed of the team increased, some soldiers in weaker physical condition soon fell behind. They were panting, their faces were pale, and they ran desperately at the end of the team, but they did not dare to stop even though their heart and lungs were in severe pain.

Everyone understood that this new training officer was not a good person. He hardly treated the soldiers of the Vanguard Army as human beings. His methods of corporal punishment were cruel and inhumane, and he often killed people with the long whip in his hand.

Normally, soldiers in training camps will never be physically punished to death, and high welfare and high treatment are normal.

But this is the training camp for the Vanguard Army, filled with death row prisoners from all over the Seth Empire and children of nobles who have committed serious crimes.

Slaves abandoned by their masters, gladiators defeated in the arena, the losing party in the court... these people with tragic fates will also become members of the vanguard, where there is no chance of survival.

Being sent to the vanguard army is also jokingly called the Seth Empire's unique form of execution.

The soldiers in the Vanguard Army do not have any welfare benefits. They are essentially in prison, or serving a life sentence. If they die, they die. As a training officer, Garen will not receive any punishment. The only chance for the soldiers to turn things around is to accumulate military merits on the battlefield.

Although Garen is a training officer, he is not much better. If a war breaks out, he must go to the front line of the battlefield to supervise the battle in person and be responsible for executing those vanguard soldiers who escape or disobey orders.

This job also has a high mortality rate.

Fortunately, the family behind Garen paid a lot of fines. As long as he can survive for a year, he can be reinstated and return to the inner city of the ancient city of Kojie to continue serving as his patrol knight leader.

During this year, if the vanguard troops under Garen's command have significant meritorious service, their service time will be shortened and they can leave here faster. This is why Garen is so strict.

"Sir, please allow me to rest for a while. Ian snored so loudly last night that I hardly closed my eyes..."

"No, my chest hurts so much, sir. I need to go to the infirmary for a thorough checkup. The severe pain in my heart makes it impossible for me to concentrate..."

"Dear sir, if you can let me rest for a few minutes, I swear I will repay you with my body..."

Soon, many soldiers at the end of the team could no longer run. They gave various reasons, all of which sounded reasonable.

Some female soldiers even tried to bribe Galen with their bodies. In order to get precious rest time, everyone tried every possible means.

But in Garen's opinion, the soldiers in the vanguard are all scum of the empire, full of lies, and he will not show mercy here.

So Garen immediately activated his magic power, casually cast a spell to strengthen his arm strength, and swung the whip heavily at a charming and graceful female soldier.

"Snapped--"

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the female soldier who was posing coquettishly in the previous second was split in half vertically in the next second, blood splattered everywhere, and red and white objects were splashed on several soldiers who were begging for mercy nearby.

Garen knew this good-looking female soldier. She was originally a prostitute. She was sent to the vanguard because she killed the madam of a brothel. She often used her body to gain benefits, such as food, clothes, and a place to sleep... She relied on her beauty to thrive in the vanguard.

But today, her calculations were obviously wrong. Garen was an upper-class noble from the Seth Empire. He usually visited high-class prostitutes. He looked down on such third-rate women and even thought that they would pollute his body.

At this time, someone was needed to make an example of someone, and the female soldier just happened to come over, so Garen swung the whip without hesitation.

"So, do you guys choose to follow the military training team, or choose to continue looking for death here?"

Garen's cold voice rang in the ears of the people around him, like the whisper of a messenger from hell.

The soldiers all knew that Garen was not exaggerating. If they continued to sit on the ground, their fate would be the same as that of the female soldier who was just split in half.

Looking at the few people who hurriedly stood up to catch up with the team, Garen snorted coldly, and then slowly put away his whip. He was not such a violent person. He liked to read quietly and was actually an elegant gentleman.

But in order to return to the ancient city of Kojie as soon as possible and to leave this damn quagmire of war, Garen had no choice but to do this.

He believed that everything he did was right, not only for himself but also for the benefit of the empire.

After the morning military training, thousands of vanguard soldiers gathered quickly, sweating profusely. Everyone noticed the woman who was split in half, but they all chose to ignore her, even her lover who had been intimate with her last night.

The Vanguard Army did not have a cafeteria, but only distributed a lot of hard black bread and half a cup of water on the spot. The breakfast time was only five minutes, and then it was the morning magic army training.

Although the vanguard troops are cannon fodder responsible for charging into battle, they must also receive training from regular soldiers, otherwise they will not even be qualified to attract firepower on the battlefield. Cannon fodder must also look like cannon fodder.

Although life was hard, some soldiers in the vanguard army still had fantasies. They trained hard on their own initiative, hoping to accumulate military merits on the battlefield and escape from this purgatory.

In response to this, Garen just shook his head and sneered. As a training officer, he knew a lot of inside information and had talked with some senior officers of the Vanguard Army. There were only a few soldiers who could actually leave the Vanguard Army, only one in a hundred.

After all, the battlefields that the vanguard army is responsible for are extremely dangerous. In fact, they are exploring the way for the regular army. They have to rush forward even if they know it is a trap, and exchange a large number of casualties for advantages. This is the meaning of the vanguard army's existence.

Rather than training hard, it would be more helpful to pray to God, because luck is more important than anything else.
