Not far from the "Road of Shock", there is a small hill, there are more hard rocks and fewer trees on the mountain, and only some small magical beasts live among the rocks.

In the Warcraft Forest, this hill is a relatively safe place, and it is very suitable for those who can't stay on the "Shock Path", but have to hide in the Warcraft Forest.

This was the case with the former garrison of the fortress of Versailles, who were now stationed on a gentle slope behind the hill.

On the side of the hill facing the "Road of Awe", they have only set up a few guard observation points to reduce the risk of being discovered by people on the "Road of Awe".

At this time, the sentry at one of the observation points ushered in the changing of the guard, and as soon as the changing guard entered the observation point, he was very happy to introduce breakfast to the leader on duty (the sentry on duty is composed of two people, one leader and one soldier).

"Captain, it's time to eat, I'm lucky today, we can eat some meat for a few rabbits caught early in the morning, and the other groups are envious of it." ”

"Oh, yes, I haven't eaten meat for a day, and I'm hungry. The detachment leader was a little absent-minded and casually returned.

"Ha! There is meat to eat? Great, yesterday at noon, I ate plant stems, the taste, almost made me vomit, eat rice at night, it's okay, but after eating you have to drink a bowl of disinfectant, it's uncomfortable, and almost vomit!" The detachment leader was absent-minded, but the soldiers on duty with him were extremely happy.

"What's the matter, does the detachment leader have something on his mind? Or did you find something in the middle of the night last year?" The team leader on duty who came to change the guard, that is, the leader of the first detachment of the "Ranger", saw that the first detachment leader was a little worried, so he walked over to ask the detachment leader.

"It's nothing ......" The team leader glanced at the team leader, and wanted to answer, "It's because he is too careful", but the words stopped when he came to his lips, and he wanted to tell this resourceful subordinate about his worries.

The team leader pulled the team leader away from the two team members and began to talk in a whisper.

Squad Leader: "You say, who gave the order to be stationed here?" Although the location is very good, there is a water source, there are few fierce demonic beasts, and it is not far from the 'Road of Shock', so it is easy to observe, but I always feel uneasy in my heart, something is definitely wrong." ”

Team leader: "The detachment leader's uneasiness is right, he deserves to be the detachment leader, wise and martial!"

Detachment Leader: "Don't talk about these useless things, after the night before yesterday, I don't know about you? You must have found something, tell me about it!"

Team Leader: "Actually, it's good to be a vigilance observation point here, and it's also suitable for small groups of troops to be stationed, but it's not good to put all the troops here, especially since we still have a large number of soldiers' families with us." ”

Before the team leader said this, he first glanced at the two team members, and then looked around, looking very cautious.

Captain: "What are you afraid of? There is no one else around. ”

Team Leader: "At this time, if you are not careful, how many officers have been replaced yesterday, the soldiers don't know, but we know that those officers who have been replaced are all dead......

The captain of the detachment felt nervous, and he almost died in a mess on that chaotic and bloody night......

After the team leader was stunned for a moment, he turned around and asked the two team members to help observe on duty first, and then sat on a big rock, and asked the team leader to sit down and continue.

Team leader: "Squad leader, then I'll say it, you criticize me if there's something wrong." ”

After the team leader sat down, he first said politely, but what he received was the dark and dark face of the team leader......

Team Leader: "Ahem...... This hill is good, and the place is also large, which can accommodate all the personnel of our army. But if I were one of the minor officers in the orc army, I would suggest at least sending scouts over to reconnoitre, because the location is so good that the orcs are more likely to be suspicious of it. ”

The detachment leader nodded his head, and he had a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The team leader continued: "When the time comes, our army will have a large number of personnel, and it will definitely not be possible to hide without being discovered. If we encircle and annihilate the orc scouts, we will still be exposed. ”

Detachment Leader: "Yes! As soon as you said that, I figured out my worries, if only a small number of our army's observation troops were deployed here, it would be easy to conceal and divert at that time. And the orc army, in terms of their military objectives, it is impossible for them to send a large force over. Although it is certain that the orcs may send a small number of troops to occupy it, for us with a large army in good condition, there should be no problem in fighting more and attacking the light in the dark, which also ensures the completion of our army's military objectives at this stage. ”

After the captain finished speaking, he sighed, looked at the team leader with blazing eyes, and continued a little eagerly: "You have already thought of this problem, why didn't you report it?"

The team leader also sighed and said, "To whom? Captain Payne Yasser? Because he transferred troops privately the night before, although it seems that he is still the captain of the group and has not been restricted from freedom, he can no longer speak in front of General Arthur Patton!"

After speaking, the team leader sighed again, looked down at the neatly crawling ants on the ground, and stopped talking.

After hearing this, the detachment leader also pondered, in the Atlanta Empire, reporting the situation or reporting affairs can only be crossed by one level at most, that is, as the team leader, he can only report things to the detachment leader and the captain, and if he skips the level by more than one level, he will be punished accordingly according to the number of levels skipped.

If the team leader reports the situation to General Arthur Patton, the commander of Versailles, and gives military advice, even if the advice is correct, the team leader will first become an ordinary soldier, and will not be promoted for a certain number of years!

Not to mention, the chief who is reported to a higher level has the right to refuse to accept the report, and the corresponding punishment for the report to the higher level remains unchanged! Even if the content of the report is false and wrong, he will face double the penalty on his post and ten times the financial fine!

The detachment leader unconsciously sighed again, and said in a somewhat low tone: "I'll go talk to the general." ”

Because the squadron leader's tone was too low, the team leader didn't hear what the squad leader said at first, so the team leader raised his head and looked at the squad leader with the same low eyes.

After the detachment leader said that, he also found that his voice was too low and hoarse, so he increased his voice and said again: "I'll go and report to General Arthur, and tell him about the serious consequences that this garrison may cause." ”

The team leader shook his head, thought about it and said, "I can't go now, and if I go, I may be suspicious." ”

The captain of the detachment opened his eyes, stood up and said in surprise: "Why is this!"

The team leader seemed to know that the detachment leader would react like this, so he didn't stand up, but just explained in the tone he had just said: "Twenty or thirty deserters and soldiers' families were executed in one day yesterday. Then you should be able to guess that so many people will flee during the day, and on the first night of stationing here, there will definitely be more people fleeing, even if there is a risk of execution, those who want to flee will still flee. ”

Detachment Leader: "I guessed, but I didn't see anyone running away during my duty last night! And what does this have to do with me going to report the situation to General Arthur?"

Team Leader: "Squad Leader, you go and suggest that the large army should not be stationed here, because of the desertion, General Arthur will be reminded of you, and you will also want to escape!"

The detachment leader was a little incredulous: "How is it possible, how could the general think like this!"

The team leader pulled the team leader, asked him to sit down, and also asked him to whisper: "Be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears." Think about it, who is the person who ordered us all to be stationed here?"

The detachment leader reverted to his original small voice and said, "Isn't that General Arthur?"

Team Leader: "General Arthur can be assigned to the fortress of Versailles as the commander-in-chief, he must have a certain strategic mind, even a grassroots officer like you and me can think of things, he can't think of it? Besides, he can't think of it, the captains of several brigades always think of it, so why does he still arrange the army like this? Don't he know that doing so may wipe out our entire army?"

Squad Leader: "Yes, it should be ......"

The team leader interrupted the detachment leader's uncertain words: "It's because there is a group of soldiers' families, and their management authority is beyond the scope of General Arthur's functions! With the Holy Envoy, General Arthur has no power to manage the families of soldiers, this is within the power of civil affairs!"

The detachment leader finally figured it out, and he followed the leader's train of thought and said: "The Holy Envoy has local military and civil power, and only the Holy Envoy can issue an order for all our troops and soldiers' families to be stationed here. That shouldn't be, General Arthur should also tell the Holy Envoy about the relationship?"

Team Leader: "What if the Holy Envoy wants to do another screening? Like the officers' assembly before we withdrew from Versailles, this time it will be expanded to include the screening of all personnel. ”

The detachment leader was silent.

The team leader continued: "Therefore, those who oppose the stationing here will leave the impression in the hearts of the generals and holy envoys that they are 'deserters, and their will is not strong'. ”

The team leader paused, and when he saw that the team leader was still silent, he spoke again: "Also, you said before that you didn't find anyone escaping in your shift last night, and your shift is the most suitable time period for escaping at night. ”

The squad leader nodded.

The team leader began to draw a topographic map of the hill with small stones on the ground, and said: "From the back mountain camp through our alert observation point, you can reach the 'Shock Road' and then escape, this is a relatively safe escape route that is easy to avoid the monsters in the Warcraft Forest. But the deserters who were executed during the day yesterday have proved that although this road can avoid the demonic beasts, it certainly cannot avoid the sight of our observation points, this is a dead end!"
