Volume 1 The Siege of the Empire Chapter 122 The Barracks Fire

In the end, Charles still chose to stay in the Divine Soldier Team, because as Max said, situations that require the appearance of magicians often have the existence of magic beasts.

Cecilia, as a mage, of course stayed with the Divine Soldiers, while Ezek and Hawke joined as her guardians.

They were supposed to meet with other mage colleagues, but there were only a few mages in the entire alien barracks, and there was one Pelina who didn't dare to use it, and the other three except Freya all rushed to the front line with their respective guardians, and they couldn't see each other for a while.

Max casually changed into a coat he found out of nowhere to block the tattered body, and walked around the station with a few people.

The battalion was not fully staffed, and most of the men and horses were not in the camp at this time, and a few people walked around for a while, accompanied by the cold winter wind, it looked a little sluggish.

The four recruits officially entered the camp, and Max, as their instructor, had to at least take them to the barracks to put down the salute first.

The barracks were converted from the buildings of the old manor, and three rows of two-story buildings were listed in the compound of the original manor.

The entire manor compound is the back camp of the station, where there are not only the barracks of the soldiers, but also the canteen and bathhouse and other facilities, and the main building in the deepest part of the compound is the place where the battalion commander works and rests.

The courtyard wall of the compound has been demolished, leaving only a small section of red brick wall about half a foot above the ground, and it is not difficult to see the elegant taste of the original owner of the manor from the blurred patterns on the bricks.

Before entering the compound, there were people coming and going on the nearest school field, and a dozen people were running back and forth, but they were not practicing, Cecilia watched curiously for a while, and found that they were mending the potholes on the school field.

Max followed, stopped, approached the school field, pointed to a big pit more than three feet deep and smiled: "Aha, you're late, you just had a fight in the morning, and I haven't seen Captain Tansen of the heavy army make a move for a long time, hey, in the end, it's still fun to fight with heavy weapons." ”

"That's right, yes, I also think the weapon is very important, and I don't feel it when I use it lightly. Charles chimed in with a sledgehammer on his shoulder, a deeply sentimental tone.

"I think so!" Hawke nodded as he listened, his twin shields were also extremely heavy.

Ezek didn't want to discuss the topic of heavy troops with these rammers, and he was keen enough to catch a strange word: "Fighting?

"A fight is a fight. Max shook his head happily and began to explain.

Because the combination of each mission is named by the battalion commander or deputy battalion commander, but the specific person who directs the operation is determined by the size of the fist.

This time, the team leader of the short team who returned from the front line with the little flying fish was the leader of the short team Finn and the captain of the heavy team Thansen, and the two did not cooperate happily this time, although the task was successfully completed with the assistance of Dries, but Finn's team still lost manpower.

Based on the experience of the two of them in the past, this trip was commanded by Tansen, who was a high-powered man, and although Finn, who was good at wielding the two swords, obeyed the command in battle, but when he returned, he challenged him on the grounds that he was dissatisfied with Tansen's command.

Tan Sen is good at using double hammers, he is not only the leader of the team, but also the captain of the entire heavy team, and his combat power is almost second only to the battalion commander and battalion deputy, and there is actually no suspense in this fight.

Charles frowned when he heard this, although the martial arts cultivation in this world is not something that can be achieved by blindly practicing martial arts and hard work, and no one who can achieve extraordinary achievements in martial arts is stupid, but personal martial arts cultivation and battle formation command are two different things after all.

He couldn't help asking, "What kind of rule is this? Why is it so strange?"

"Strange, perhaps, but this is the law of the alien barracks, and only the strong can dispel fear and gather people's hearts in a desperate situation. Likeβ€”" Max said, looking up and frowning, the scar tilted and covered his right eye, only to sigh, "just like your uncle." ”

At this moment, Charles intuitively felt the image of his uncle in the army.

All along, the Joseph I heard from Aunt Leila was either a man who stood up to the sky or a bastard.

I never thought that in Max's eyes, my uncle would be such a charismatic leader.

Just as he was sighing, he heard a hurried shout coming from the compound: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

"What!?" Maxton was shocked when he heard a commotion in the compound, and he didn't bother to call a few recruits: "I'll go and see it first!"

As soon as he dropped a word, he saw his "whoosh" body flying into the compound, and went straight to the place where the smoke floated out.

"Let's go, let's go over and help put out the fire!" Cecilia looked at the smoke in the distance, hurriedly followed two steps, and took the lead in rushing over.

Of course, Ezek couldn't let Cecilia rush up by himself, and while running, he asked strangely: "How can it be on fire in broad daylight?"

"It's troublesome, and the fire doesn't seem to be small. ”

Seeing that the fire was gradually rising, Charles frowned slightly, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Searching for Max's departing figure, several people came to a whole row of burning double-storey buildings in a few clicks.

Charles glanced left and right, and saw Max and several soldiers each holding a large shovel, shoveling a handful of snow from the pile of snow in the courtyard, and about to pour it into the burning building to extinguish the fire.

"Instructor, we're here to help!" Cecilia shouted at Max from afar.

However, at this time, the fire was already in place, and the snow was sprinkled into the buildings, which could only be temporarily suppressed so that the fire would not spread to a few nearby buildings.

As soon as the three Silver Hands arrived at the scene, they immediately joined the ranks of shoveling snow and fighting fires.

Charles was worried that someone was trapped, so he quickly ran around the burning house, and while observing a burst of fire, the brainwave detection was unfolded, and more than a dozen houses were in full view, and he was slightly relieved:

Luckily, it seems that no one is trapped in this house.

These buildings are somewhat equipped with daily wooden utensils such as beds, tables and stools, plus those quilts and clothes, and it is not difficult to infer that this should be a soldier's barracks.

Wait!

The fire in these dozen houses... It seems to have spread out of two or three of them at the same time!

This is not an accident!

"Instructor, this is a deliberate arson!" Charles immediately grabbed Max and said quickly.

"What did you say?" Max originally thought that some unlucky guy secretly burned firewood to keep warm, and accidentally caught fire, but when he heard that someone had set it on fire, he immediately became anxious.

"The person who set the fire may have fled far away, instructor, think about it, which direction is suitable for escaping here?"

The footprints on the ground were messy, and Charles was unfamiliar with the place, and he had no way to track the whereabouts of the arsonist.

"Damn!"

Max cursed with hatred, pointed to a col in the southeast of the camp and said: "The back mountain is steep, and the trees are dense and thick, and the bushes are overgrown, and if you want to run, you can only go around to the front!"

Before the words fell, he had already dropped the shovel in his hand and chased out!

"Follow me!"
