Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Lu Ye found it strange.

Why didn't you call more people to carry firewood before, instead of having two sergeants go?

Lu Ye glanced at his cuff, while Violet was still gripping it tightly with her thumb and forefinger.

She has excellent hearing and can distinguish human noises outside even in the sound of pouring rain.

This means the crisis is not over yet.

Three soldiers carried out the wood and several burning torches.

At this moment, only four people remained in the room.

Luye, Violet, Osinlid, and Dietfried.

As more firewood was added, the temperature inside the house gradually rose.

The two soldiers took off their soaked coats and hung them aside. In the long night, they exchanged simple words.

Lu Ye fabricated a story about how he came to this island and how he survived on it.

He claimed to be from a small country in the East, though the country's name was made up, but the other party did not suspect anything.

As far as Lu Ye knew, although sea routes had been opened at this time, there was not much communication between the countries of the East and the West. This was because the West was still at war at the time, so naturally no one knew much about the countries of the East, except for the scholars.

However, judging from that "Gundam" outside, it seems that something is wrong with this world, causing the technology tree to mutate.

Taking advantage of his interest in "Western civilization," Lu Ye had Osinlid give a brief overview of the current situation in Western countries, so that they could see what changes had actually occurred in the world.

Fortunately, although the technology tree is a bit strange, the overall history of this world has not changed much.

Leidenshaftrich, a country at war.

The war was triggered by an invasion launched by a northern country against the southern region, led by Leidenshaftlich, with the aim of seizing the latter's territory.

The northern army invaded the economic heartland of the south, carrying out occupation and large-scale plunder, which they considered necessary.

Because northern countries lack natural resources and are overly reliant on economic exchanges with the south, southern countries use this to slowly raise prices while reducing their exports...

For example, your land can't grow crops, and there are no forests around, so you can't get any wood. You need to buy wood from your neighbor, but your neighbor knows you can't grow crops, so they raise the price of rice. Not only that, they also restrict your wood purchases, making it impossible for you to even build a house...

The southern countries attempted to control the northern countries through economic means, which infuriated the northern countries.

However, if it were only that, things wouldn't be so complicated. The final straw that broke the camel's back for both the North and the South was religious belief.

The religious sects in the North and South originally worshipped the same God, but their different ways of worshipping and interpreting the doctrines led to their gradual hostility.

On this continent, the west chose to unite with the south, while the east formed a powerful alliance with the north and strongly supported the north's invasion of the south.

The Northeast Allied Forces demanded the reopening and renegotiation of trade agreements with the South, as well as the reclaiming of religious sites in neutral territories.

The Southwestern League, on the other hand, demanded that the other side pay the price for its acts of aggression and firmly stated that it would resist to the end.

This last straw broke the final balance, and the North launched a war against the South, with the flames of war raging across the entire continent.

Then came the part that interested Lu Ye.

Several years ago, when the war first began, the two sides were evenly matched.

But at this time, a scientist, a once-in-a-century talent, emerged from the great northern country of Versailles.

He developed a new type of weapon with tremendous power; it was a wearable weapon called "Mobile Armor".

Its overall structure is similar to that of the human body, and it is usually two to three meters tall, which can fit most body types.

Ordinary caliber bullets have difficulty penetrating its armor, and most importantly, soldiers can be deployed to the battlefield after only a few months of simple training.

Thus, the tide of war turned dramatically just six years later.

With the coordinated efforts of the northern countries, the southern countries suffered successive defeats.

Although they have gone to great lengths to obtain the blueprints for "mobile combat armor" in recent years, that is all in the past.

The northern kingdoms now use newer and more advanced armor, and the war is still one-sided.

"So I wouldn't recommend you travel to Western countries right now, my friend," O'Sullied said. "There's war going on there right now."

“I didn’t expect the situation there to be so bad…” Lu Ye said with a mournful face, “I… I think it’s better to go home.”

"Is that so? I suppose the continent across the sea is quite peaceful. Don't worry, once we return to the port, I will send someone to take you to the ship bound for the Eastern Continent."

At this moment, Osinlid and Dietfried also began to eat mutton, but they waited until Luye had eaten first before they started eating.

"Speaking of which, did you also encounter a storm while sailing at sea?" Lu Ye asked.

“Yes, a few days ago, we wiped out an armed convoy that was trying to attack Ryan Trading Port. On the night of the battle, we were hit by a storm, and all the ships, both friendly and enemy, sank to the bottom of the sea near the shore,” O’Sinled said.

“What a disaster…” Dietfried said gravely. “I’ve been in the Navy for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen such terrible weather. None of us have experienced a storm like this before.”

“By the way, those soldiers outside… how about I send them some mutton?” Lu Ye said. “They must be starving right now.”

“I think it’s a good idea, sir, what do you think?” Dietfried said. “We didn’t bring any rations with us, and this smoked mutton is very fresh.”

There's no such thing as "fresh" smoked meat; it's made this way so that it can be preserved for longer.

Dietfried's implication was that there was "no problem" with the meat.

In his view, it was impossible for Lu Ye to have known in advance that a ship would be coming here and to have tampered with the meat beforehand.

Moreover, they have already eaten, and the meat was very good; there were no problems.

For Dietfried, it was unbearable to be the only one eating and drinking well in the house while his brothers, who had risked their lives with him, had to stay in the sheepfold for warmth.

After a moment, Osinlid stared at the flickering firelight and said.

"Can……"

"Thank you, sir."

Dietfried put on his hat and went outside.

The door to the cabin closed behind him, shutting out the warm firelight along with it.

His figure was pitch black in the torrential rain, while in the bushes outside the house, rows of equally dark gun barrels were pointing towards the wooden house, poised to fire.

Chapter 24 The Colonel's Story

"Alright, put your guns down!" Dietfried said.

In the pouring rain, the soldiers emerged from the bushes and gathered around Dietfried, guns in hand.

"How is it, sir?"

"He's just an ordinary kid, no threat for now. How's Huo Sheng doing?"

"The sergeant and the others went to the sheepfold, they should be all done now."

“Take me there,” Dietfried said.

The group arrived at the sheep pen in the backyard of the wooden house, where dozens of sheep were huddled in a haystack and sleeping.

Perhaps because they've spent so much time with Lu Ye and Violet these days, these sheep aren't very afraid of people.

Although the sheepfold was simple, it was quite sturdy, with a roof structure covered with large fan blades that barely leaked.

At this moment, flames were burning in the sheepfold, casting long shadows on the ground.

"Major Dietfried!"

The sergeants saluted him immediately upon seeing him.

“Clear the grass around the fire, don’t let it catch fire!” Dietfried said, frowning.

Although it was pouring rain outside, the sheepfold was still made of wood and had not yet become damp.

Although there won't be much loss if it's set on fire, it's still someone else's property, and it's hard to explain.

"Yes!"

The soldiers carefully parted the surrounding haystacks, and one of the sergeants stepped forward.

"So, is the colonel relieved?"

"No threat for now."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers relaxed, and their once upright figures now appeared somewhat hunched.

They took off their shirts and coats and placed them by the fire to dry.

If you stand in the rain for too long without warming up, even the strongest body cannot withstand the danger of body temperature imbalance.

“By the way, where’s Hawkins?” Dietfried asked.

"Sergeant Hawkins has taken Unit 6 to a nearby cave; there's no room for something that big here."

"Damn it! Wasn't he supposed to stay here and wait for orders?"

"But that metal shell is useless except for allowing me to take a few steps! My arms were severely impacted and have lost mobility. Sergeant Hawkins said that it would be better to get out and carry a rifle rather than wear that heavy metal shell that prevents me from using my hands."

"Is that so? After he returns, once you've rested and the rain has subsided a bit, send some food to the brothers on the ship." Dietfried issued the instructions methodically. "Also, remember to take good care of the weapons; we don't know if there are any other people on this island."

"No way, Major, didn't you ask that kid in the room about anything about this place?"

"You asked, but you believed everything he said?" Deep wrinkles appeared between Dietfried's brows. "Idiot, I think you've lost your mind!"

The soldier who had asked the question shrank back, not daring to respond.

"Sergeant Major, take a few men inside and get some food. Remember to be polite!"

"Yes!"

"Everyone else, if you don't have anything to do, take a break. Oh, Ye Zhou, come here."

"exist!"

"I remember your hometown is Fan State in the east, right?"

"That's right, to be precise, it's a small village in the south of Fan State."

Are there unified writing systems in the East?

"Of course not, but if it's an Eastern script, I can always tell the difference... What do you mean?" Ye Zhou seemed to understand something.

"I have some doubts that the kid is from the East. His spoken Western language is too fluent. I personally think that someone who hasn't lived in the West for a few years wouldn't have such fluent spoken language."

"Okay, I'll try him out tomorrow."
