Civilization Guardian Front

Tokyo, Chiyoda Ward...

Above the Imperial Palace, ripple-like fluctuations on the water surface rippled in the center of the blue sky, dispelling the clouds wandering here.

A huge floating island rising from the ground like digging the earth's crust occupies this space.

["Palace of Heaven" has been transferred and has entered the jurisdiction of the Seventh Legion, Nightingale Cantilever NZW-0025172 Dominion "Sword Art Online" world]

[Noble Phantasm "Hidden Temple" is activated, during which time, "Palace of Heavenly Dao" cannot be observed by the outside world]

Different from the message prompts that sneaked into the mission world in the past, the territory that asked for help from the Legion not only showed no hostility, but could even be said to be eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Legion personnel.Therefore, there is no need to write in the background identity, and the local government will actively cooperate with whatever resume the executor wants.

After removing the heraldic light curtain, Chios walked slowly across the green grass to the edge of the floating island, overlooking the city below.

Basically, it is similar to the scenery he saw when he visited the capital of Japan in the 21st century in his hometown and mission world.Some of the buildings completed after 2009, such as the Skytree, a new landmark that Chios had just started to build when he left "Scarlet Bullet", have been completed here for many years.

Located near Odaiba, where the Tokyo Butei High Artificial Island is located in the memory of youth, there is only the calm sea water of Tokyo Bay...

Instead of paying attention to the buildings, he turned his gaze to the pedestrians on the street.

The suits, ties and high-heeled shoes of men and women in the workplace, together with the collection of schoolbags for students, form the main body of the landscape.

From kindergarten to society, different age groups wear corresponding identities. In Japan, where the uniform culture is deeply rooted, there are hardly many people who are brightly dressed and conspicuously dressed unless it is a holiday.

Excellent eyesight allowed Chios to focus on the faces of these residents at an altitude of five kilometers above the ground.

Living a life that is almost the same as yesterday, swiping the screen of the mobile phone to find a little change from the Internet, occasionally showing a smile and being careful not to disturb others.

It couldn't be more plain, but it just reflected the stable face of the situation.

I can't see the helplessness of the approaching doomsday...

Sadly, this picture is about to change soon.

Xipha in the inner pocket of the windbreaker vibrated at this moment.

Chios took out the tactical force guide, and pressed the unlock button to pop up the shell.

"The video conference with the heads of state will start in 10 minutes and return to the situation room within 5 minutes"

An order from Liana, the Maiden of the Gun, the mission commander of the Legion.

"receive"

After sending a concise reply, he turned and walked towards the palace located in the core area of ​​the floating island.

...

Return to the Situation Room on time.

Except for the side connecting to the door, the three walls are covered with display screens, and below is the operating console integrally formed with the terminal.

In front of the console, Renn quickly tapped the keyboard with his ten fingers.

Chios glanced at the screen and found that it was full of ID photos, ID numbers, login fingerprints and other personal information flashing like a marquee...

"You hacked into the databases of various government departments?"

"Well, the procedure to go through the application with those officials is too cumbersome, it's better to do it yourself..." The purple-haired girl who has no consciousness of being a criminal at all is busy with the immediate affairs, but at the same time, she does not forget to ask:

"What kind of identity does Big Brother Chios want, an exchange student from Yale, Cambridge, and Rome University? Ryan can help arrange it."

"University of Bologna, that's my alma mater."

Ryan nodded, first completed the Italian citizenship registration for Chios, and then hacked into the database of the University of Bologna...

"University of Bologna in Tokyo can exchange students with Aoyama University and Toyo University. Is it okay to choose Aoyama?"

"no problem. "

Although it is only a superficial identity used to communicate with unknowing locals, Chios's professionalism does not allow him to play a role that is easy to pass through.

Choosing a familiar alma mater can save you a lot of trouble.

Without disturbing Ryan, Chios came to the center of the war room, a huge octagonal bronze mirror, and the blue light on the mirror surface projected the entire Tokyo city model in front of the "Glass Altar", a treasure.

"What is the superficial identity of the instructor?"

"Wherever you go to school, I will teach at that school."

Liana responded lightly.

"Hehehe~ Even the task is a teacher-student relationship, is it laziness or a kind of persistence..." Weita swayed and approached.

"Then I'll be Chios' older sister, a sister who doesn't have any blood relationship, who left behind her singing career and came to Japan to take care of her younger brother who is unfamiliar with Chios."

Hearing her request, Ren raised his hand and made an ok gesture.

Chios' head started to hurt.

When identities are implanted, try to avoid direct connection with each other, which is more conducive to the executor's performance.

Like Weita, which is built around one person, it seems that the setting of a female character in an 18-banned game is simply inexplicable...

"Why sister?"

"Of course it's because I like the character."

"..."

"Just kidding..." Seeing Lianna cast a cold look, Vita sighed softly, and said regretfully:

"Different from you who want to play a part of the "victim player", Maria Bell and I will stay here, coordinate the logistics and appear in front of the world as a "legion representative", so we can't play role-playing with you. "

The third pillar of the apostles mentioned in her words happened to turn around at this time.

"Heads of advanced countries are in place and meetings can begin at any time."

Hearing this, Liana nodded.

After the line was connected, the central monitor immediately displayed dozens of divided video images.

Under the hint of the will of the world, the politicians of many countries in the autonomous territory already know that the world they live in is facing a huge crisis, and they also understand the existence of legions and executors, so they don't waste time exchanging greetings.

The head of state with his back to the floor-to-ceiling windows and the Stars and Stripes pressed the call button.

"Executor of the Seventh Legion, how can we help you?"

"The fact that the full stealth device was reduced to the entrance to the battlefield hasn't been leaked, has it?"

"This matter is top secret in every country that knows about it..." The president, who is nearly [-] years old, flipped through the materials prepared in advance on the table.

"Although we didn't receive a warning from the legion until yesterday, since the public beta was scheduled to start early last month, and the world's first full stealth "Sword Art Online" was temporarily canceled due to NERvGear being questioned by internal developers about the safety of the device, we The development and marketing of devices based on the same technology has always been suspended on the grounds of safety considerations.”

"very good..."

Liana then gave instructions:

"I would like to ask all countries to temporarily lift the ban on full stealth devices and encourage game manufacturers to promote them. However, on-site sales are prohibited. Online appointments are all used for registration. Institutions that intend to use full stealth for medical treatment and reduce patient pain can also submit applications. In the end, our legion selected 15989 players to enter the battlefield as soldiers."

"For the other 4000 places, please send the best special agents and soldiers who are at least proficient in English and Japanese to participate. The specific duties will be explained later."

Chapter 790 Two? Conscripts

Although the executors are elite, it is impossible to do everything by themselves.

Just like what Chios encountered in the previous mission against the army of the dark faction, when there was a strong enemy on the battlefield that he had to go all out to deal with, he couldn't take into account the relatively low threat but large number of monsters.

In that battle, not only powerful comrades like Riveria, Ais, Burt, and Lyu, but also every Lv. The role of neglect.

This shows the importance of obtaining and making good use of the human resources of the mission world.

Looking at this task...

It remains to be seen how much vitality the subsidiary world that is being digested and devoured by "Dark Soul" still has, and whether the social operating mechanism is sound.

Even if there is a stable human regime, its army may be too busy to deal with threats such as living corpses, monsters, and robbers, and it is difficult to expect them to have the spare power to assist the executors.

On-the-spot conscription is even more unrealistic. For the local rulers, it is tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the pot to ask peasant laborers to put down their production affairs and take risks to fight.

It is not a good investment to set up a strong enemy for dozens or hundreds of recruits...

The executors are not going to fight for territory and establish a new regime.

If their actions fail, everything in the mission world will be wiped out.Therefore, there is no need to waste time on unnecessary hostility with regional rulers.

After comprehensive consideration, the current social structure is still very stable, and the conscription of the dominion with the full cooperation of the will of the world behind the scenes is a better choice.

As residents of the Dominion, the "players" have no roots in another world, and they don't even have a job to survive. The sense of alienation caused by cultural differences makes it difficult for them to integrate into the local area, just like new immigrants who have stepped into an unfamiliar environment. is inevitable.

Even if they want to be ruled, they prefer to be ruled by people with similar cultural identity as themselves.

"Nationalism"

As long as the executors who pretend to be part of the "players" can make good use of this ideological tool, it is not difficult to build an army with strong centripetal force.

However, to use the Dominion as a source of troops, we must first face the problem of weak reserve soldiers...

The residents of this world have mediocre physical functions, especially the mystery resistance is basically zero, directly sending them to the battlefield is tantamount to exposing people to an environment full of radiation pollution, and the local curses and diseases will soon kill them.

In this regard, we must rely on the two great treasures of the "Tiandao Palace".

The three apostles of the association discussed beforehand whether combining the infinite energy of the "Treasure of the Sky" and the causal control of the "Treasure of Illusion" can provide mysterious protection for recruits with external forces, and add some additional individual functions...

The answer is yes.

However, it is true that the "Treasure of the Sky" has inexhaustible energy, and its output per unit time still has an upper limit.In the same way, there is a maximum number of objects that can be acted on by "Phantom Treasure" at the same time.

In the future, there are still many places on the battlefield where the power of the two treasures can be used, and at least 50% of the operating space must be reserved.

Taking all the above factors into consideration, after the calculation of Maria Bell, the third pillar of the apostle, the final number of recruits is 19989...

Adding 11 executors is exactly 20000 people.

The reason why the governments of various countries are not directly ordered to send soldiers to fill the vacancies, but only the best [-] elites is because modern soldiers generally do not meet the needs of the mission environment.

The division of labor in the modern military is extremely fine. Most soldiers are regarded as a part of the weapon system that cannot be replaced by machinery for the time being. It's just an ordinary person with slightly better physical strength who has pulled the trigger and shot a target.

In addition, living in the military camp for a long time, which requires obedience to orders and easily leads to punishment for arbitrarily advocating, makes them almost lose the enthusiasm for independent decision-making actions.

After all, as long as the weapon is properly maintained, there is no need to think about it.

Specialized training that saves time and costs, can be put on the battlefield as soon as possible, and makes large-scale mobilization possible is understandable under the framework of modern warfare.

But the battlefields of the other world don't have guns and artillery, and the Legion doesn't need machines that will just stare blankly without instructions from their superiors.

Liana can train thousands of cheap soldiers like that in a week.

With the fantasy world view of sword and magic, game players can adapt faster, and the potential of some talented people to burst out in desperate situations is worth looking forward to.

The composition of personnel from all walks of life and different backgrounds will greatly enrich the creativity of this group as time passes.

In this world where the original destiny is closely related to full stealth games, there will never be a shortage of outstanding player talents.

What the executors have to do now is to use the game's promotion to expand the base of candidate players as much as possible, eliminate those who are psychologically and age inappropriate, and leave a "strategy group" with warrior qualifications.

The video conference came to an end soon.

"It will take two to three weeks at the earliest for countries to get things done."

The next second after the communication was hung up, Chios expressed his expectations.

"Agreed, even in the information age, it takes some time for the flow of information to become a hot topic."

"The official response is too fast and it is likely to cause doubts. It is necessary to reserve some buffer room."

Vita and Maria Bell unanimously endorse the youth's judgment.

Lifting the ban on completely stealth games is not as simple as political leaders signing a paper document...

Let a certain number of scholars and authorities first write reports to endorse the safety of related technical products, and then let the media pretending to be neutral throw out a lot of positive and negative news hype.

The purpose is not to make people believe that "safe and sound", as long as "there is no sufficient evidence to prove that it will be harmful", it will be considered successful.

At that time, the governments of various countries will gradually relax restrictions in accordance with current events, and I believe that most people will no longer have too much doubt about the full stealth technology.

After the whole process is carried out, even if there are artificial promotion and catalysis in the process, it still needs to go through a maturity period of ten to twenty days.

Since the three people in the team who are most familiar with politics and public relations operations all hold the same point of view, the discussion in this aspect can naturally be omitted.

"It just so happens that we also have to spend some time observing the changes in the subsidiary world to formulate future action plans..."

Liana said and looked at Maria Bell.
