Chapter 1589: Chapter 854: Taboo Forest! New Rules! (Part 2)

Over the years, the average casualty rate of the Third Division has been 91%. Many of the cannon fodder who first arrive here hope they are among the surviving 9%. There is still some hope in that.

But after learning the real situation, they despairingly find out that 10% of the officers in this army have only one task, which is to watch them so they don’t desert.

These 10% of officers never try to discover the rules of the Taboo Forest themselves.

Therefore, the death rate for cannon fodder is one hundred percent.

Even more desperate is the fact that the cannon fodder here are not even issued weapons or firearms. All they have to do is keep moving forward and exploring new rules of the Taboo Land.

When all the cannon fodder are dead, the division commander and officers of the Third Division will retreat to their base, waiting for a new batch of cannon fodder to fill in.

The Third Division of the Second Army Group has been established for 12 years, and just the number of people sent into the Taboo Forest by this unit has exceeded one million.

Compared to the Eastern Continent, exploration of the Taboo Land here is bloodier and more violent.

The Roosevelt Kingdom has banned abortion. Citing the doctrines of the Black Water City religious followers, they signed a bill banning abortion.

Because the doctrine believes abortion is sinful and prevents residents from ascending to paradise, even victims of rape are not allowed to abort.

The Roosevelt Kingdom encourages childbirth as they need the slave population to grow to provide labor and explore the Taboo Forest.

The Kingdom stipulates that if a freeman discovers a rule, they can be promoted three levels, and a citizen can be promoted two levels. But the fact is, discovering a rule may require the sacrifice of thousands of lives.

It was on the way here that Qing Chen realized the rules of the Taboo Forest are completely different from the rules of the Taboo Land he knew.

It was at this moment that the Chief of Staff of the Third Division suddenly received an order.

The commander of the Second Army Group conveyed the order: The Third Division has been replenished with troops and is to immediately set out to explore the Taboo Forest. They must reach area B79 within 72 hours to investigate the rules and continue advancing to investigate the rules of area B80 within 168 hours after that.

This order came too suddenly, and it seemed as if it had been premeditated.

Marquis Bolton muttered, “Both the First Army Group and the Second Army Group are now under the control of the Duke of Storm. This old guy isn’t trying to get me into trouble, is he?!”

If earlier Bolton had no grudges with the Duke of Storm, after Bolton set up Duke Doug, this rivalry was established.

Although Bolton felt wronged…

Even now, Bolton still felt that Doug couldn’t manage the giant well, and it had nothing to do with him.

The Chief of Staff whispered, “Marquis, we have to set out. The order from the Army Group is in red, and if we don’t depart within 15 minutes, we might be court-martialed.”

“Let’s go, let’s go,” Marquis Bolton sighed, “Hurry up and go.”

After saying this, he moved closer to Qing Chen, “Steward, ride in the same tracked vehicle with me, and make sure those experts guard us closely. They mustn’t act on their own.”

The terrain of the Taboo Forest is complex, and ordinary vehicles can’t enter. They have to take multi-terrain tracked vehicles. One vehicle holds twelve people, with Bolton, Qing Chen, and He Jinqiu all in the same vehicle.

Marquis Bolton was really afraid of death, and having just arrived here with no familiarity, he could only rely on Qing Chen.

The Chief of Staff looked at the division commander who immediately hid in the tracked vehicle and thought that this Marquis Bolton wasn’t quite as imagined. Wasn’t he supposed to be young, gifted, and decisive?

Wait a minute, could this Marquis Bolton be playing the fool again to catch the tiger, planning to reorganize the Third Division?

The troops started slowly, without holding even a departure ceremony.

There weren’t many tracked vehicles, and the Third Division didn’t see the necessity of equipping cannon fodder with such things, so the entire division had no more than forty of them, used solely by the officers.

But an exception now was the introduction of the Crimson Blood Team, which the Third Division didn’t have before. So now, with not enough tracked vehicles, the Black team had to grimly walk beside the vehicle, advancing steadily on foot.

Black mentally cursed the steward countless times, feeling an urge to kill him.

When they entered the Taboo Forest, the Chief of Staff said over the communication channel, “Everyone listen up, we’re about to enter area A1. Immediately mimic your officer and do exactly the same actions.”

In the next second, the Chief of Staff inside the tracked vehicle started massaging his eye sockets.

Qing Chen was stunned. What kind of strange Taboo Land rule required doing eye exercises…

The key question was, who discovered this rule?

The next moment, the entire 8,000 strong Third Division obediently followed their officers in doing eye exercises. When the officers confirmed all soldiers were doing them correctly, they reported over the communication channel: “Iron Blood Camp complete.”

“Brave Wind Camp complete.”

The Chief of Staff checked off the military units on the LCD panel, ensuring all units had completed the task before moving forward.

In fact, the Taboo Forest of the West Continent is composed of 317 Taboo Lands. Once the Taboo Forest formed, it no longer followed the rules of a single Taboo Land.

In order to get from area A1 to area A2, one must correctly perform a certain action to qualify for entry into area A2!

Otherwise, upon entering area A2, everything there would immediately attack.

The Third Division, to reach area B79, needed first to go through areas A1-80, then through areas B1-78, in total 158 areas, using keys to progression earned through the sacrifices of millions.
