Chapter 720: Forced Conscription



Although the Imperial Court has experienced numerous Natural Disasters, it still possesses an unimaginable foundation that ordinary people can hardly guess.

For this reason, once it was discovered that the anomalies in Magic City might be caused by the invasion of Otherworldly Creatures, the Imperial Court would certainly strike hard, eliminating those Otherworldly Creatures that invaded Blue Star with the force of thunder.

Initially, if the Imperial Court had approached the Otherworldly Creatures with the desire for peaceful communication, after numerous contacts and learning through an Artifact Master capable of interrogation the purpose of the Otherworldly Creatures invading Blue Star, the Peace Faction instantly disappeared.

After all, anyone who knows the invader's purpose, which is to plunder and destroy Blue Star, would unequivocally never contemplate surrendering to the Otherworldly Creatures.

Having interrogated those captured Otherworldly Creatures, it is known how they treat non-kin Otherworldly Creatures. However, precisely because of this, humanity has such a unified attitude towards dealing with Otherworldly Invaders.

With the first Bat Monster Camp maintaining the Acid Rain Technique being destroyed by humans, those experiences have enabled the subsequent exploration teams dispatched by the Imperial Court to locate other Bat Monster camps more quickly.

With the example of the previous action, the subsequent operations have become even smoother.

As one Bat Monster Camp after another was eliminated by the Imperial Court, the acid rain weather originally enveloping the Magic Capital Base gradually began to clear up. When the sun shone on the earth again, those survivors who had endured the acid rain for so long walked outdoors as if seeing daylight again.

And the communication previously hindered by the acid rain, with the return of sunlight, all communication signals are restored to full operation.

Dong Tianyu looked at the communicator in his hand, which kept making sounds' apart from a few friends exchanging messages, the main content was the compulsory conscription text message released by the Imperial Court.

In fact, although the compulsory conscription message sent by the Imperial Court also called for recruitment, its compulsory nature was not very strong. It merely convened all humans near the Magic Capital Base with communication devices to go to a designated location to fight against Otherworldly Creatures and prevent them from taking Blue Star's resources back to their world.

This conscription mission's gained spoils of battle are to be kept by the individuals involved, with no need to be handed over to the Imperial Court.

Most importantly, anyone in the combat area located by their communicators during the battle and not leaving until the battle concludes will receive a basic reward issued by the Imperial Court.

To obtain more rewards, one needs to cut off and hand over the heads of Bat Monsters, and the Imperial Court will issue varying levels of generous rewards based on the number of Bat Monster heads submitted.

After reviewing the conscription information, Dong Tianyu felt some familiarity when he saw the specific location displayed on the communicator, and after careful recollection, surprisingly found that the address in the conscription message was precisely where the creatures had previously descended.

Realizing this, Dong Tianyu thought about the Otherworldly Invaders he was to combat this time, probably the same Bat Monsters he encountered before, considering those Bat Monsters traversing the Space Transmission Channel to Blue Star all possessed the ability to fly.

And since the opening of the Space Transmission Channel is located above, without the ability to fly, even if one arrived at the designated battle spot, it would be impossible to effectively prevent the return of Bat Monsters.

This time the Imperial Court had already released the compulsory conscription message, particularly with the message content indicating the Imperial Court's ability to locate everyone's position through their communicators.

This means that even though the enforcement of this conscription message might not be strict at the moment, once this combat operation ends, although the Imperial Court will not directly punish those nearby the Magic Capital Base who did not respond to the call,

However, it will yet take various measures to seriously deal with those survivors who hid and did not respond to the conscription during its period.

Keep in mind, this period is when the Imperial Court's control over China is at its weakest, road transport cannot be restored to normal quickly, and maritime restrictions are too significant. After all, unlike before, large transport ships can hardly navigate through those narrow tributaries inward to reach cities near inland.

Thus, the only transport option available now is air transport, and no matter the era, air transport is not something ordinary people can participate in.

Because of this, while the Imperial Court has sent a compulsory conscription message, the text only contains various welfare and reward offers, with no mention of penalties.

However, though not explicitly mentioned on the surface regarding the penalties for refusing conscription, in Blue Star it is a firm rule: the more words, the smaller the issue; the fewer words, the bigger the issue, small meetings for small matters, and large meetings for significant matters.

Therefore, any insightful person can guess that if they refuse this conscription, once the matter is over, the Imperial Court will definitely address those survivors who did not participate in the conscription with either reprimands or penalties, but either way, something noticeable will happen.

After all, if this action ends without significant consequences, then in the future, when the Imperial Court sends similar compulsory conscription tasks through communicators, there would no longer be active participation.

Therefore, just holding out until the end of the upcoming battle, then the Imperial Court will necessarily provide the corresponding rewards and will definitely distribute them in full without any reduction.
