The harsh winter has really come.

It has been nearly half a month since our group came to this line of courage. In the past ten days, the officers of the Danmoth Empire have not mentioned anything about the front line to us, except for a small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day, and the most senior generals have never left us for half a step.

There are definitely ghosts at the front, that's a sure fact. Any fool knows that, in such a tense situation, these top military commanders have not gone back to command the war, but have eaten and drunk with us? Are they very confident in the soldiers in their hands? This is certainly impossible.

As for our suspicions, the supreme commanders only replied with a sneer: "The front? Of course, there is no problem at the front. The soldiers of our Danmos Empire are all warriors, not to mention the little apostles, even if they are dragons, gods, or anything, they are completely vulnerable in the face of our towering defense line of courage. And compared with those apostles, of course, you are more important than the auxiliary minister, we have to serve you well, and when you return to the capital, I hope you will say a few good words for us, the five or three martial artists, so that we can be promoted, then we are so thankful!"

Although Reading hated these high-ranking generals very much in his heart, he still flattered: "This is a very natural thing, you have entertained us so well, and when I return to the capital, I will definitely say a few good words to my king and the regent, and ensure that you will be promoted and raised immediately!"

Uh, that's disgusting. I couldn't stand the hypocrisy and got up and went outside the tent. This time the heavy snow is completely different from the previous ones, and compared to the current ones, the previous rain and snow weather is simply a small fight. According to some risk-taking adventurers from the north, the scale of the snow this time has spread almost all over the continent, reaching the southern tip of the continent. Perhaps all but our homes must have been covered in snow and frost. And now one of the facts also confirmed my suspicions, that is, there are definitely ghosts on the front line of the line of courage. In just a few minutes since I stood outside the tent, I had already seen about five or six soldiers being carried down from the cold, frozen from the cold. I followed them into their tent in a moment of curiosity, and was astonished to the fact that there was nothing to keep warm in the tent in such a cold weather, and even their beds were thin sheets. Seeing a few soldiers sadly hugging these frozen soldiers on the bed and helplessly leaving them to their fate, I asked, "What's going on? Why don't you have supplies for the winter?"

"Supplies for the winter?" a soldier sat on the edge of the bed and asked me, "What are the supplies for the winter?"

"Are you also equipped like this in such a cold weather? don't you even have a slightly thicker futon?"

The soldier stood up, picked up a thin sheet, and said to me strangely, "Isn't this futon thick?"

"me!" I burst into flames, snatched the paper-thin sheet and tore it to shreds, and exclaimed, "Are you crazy? These are just sheets, they're the sheets you put underneath you! I'm talking about the futon!

For some reason, the soldier quietly shed tears: "Of course I know you're talking about futons, ma'am. But since we became soldiers, we haven't seen any futon again. Usually we sleep in clothes, but if it gets a little colder, we hug each other to sleep and keep warm. However, with weather like the present, let's hope that something will bless us. “

"Let's go, take me to see your cafeteria. “

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What canteen?"

"It's the cafeteria where you usually eat!" I was a little impatient, otherwise how did we get all that stuff to eat?

However, what I didn't expect was that the soldier actually laughed: "Hahaha, hahaha. Ma'am, are you thinking too much, how can we ordinary soldiers have a canteen? Not to mention the canteen, we don't even have a kitchen. In order to flatter you, the general will definitely ask professional chefs to entertain you with the delicacies he has gathered, but where are those that I am qualified to use. ”

I was stunned and asked blankly, "So, what do you usually eat?"

The soldier pulled out a hard mass from his bosom and looked at the piece in his hand with some greed, but did not eat it. He smiled at me instead, "This is our food, one every three days." “

I snatched it up and saw that this hard white thing was just a very ordinary steamed bun! "You eat this?"

"That's okay, because we're considered the elite troops of the Danmos Empire, so we're able to eat this. If it were an ordinary army, it would only be able to eat yellow masks, and the amount would be much smaller than ours. “

This is the food of a soldier of an elite army of the Empire? Is it a steamed bun? I looked at their uniforms carefully, and found that although they looked bright, they were very thin. I couldn't help but ask, "Don't you even have winter clothes?"

The soldier shook his head and replied with a wry smile, "No, how could we have." Although we are the elite troops of the Empire, we are not on the front line right now, and winter clothes are allocated to the elite troops on the front line. Ordinary troops, even on the front line, cannot have such a thing. ”

God, I don't know what to say. I looked at the other soldiers in the tent and knew that what the soldier said was all the truth. As we spoke, a frozen soldier died. As he lay dying, the corners of his mouth smiled. I wouldn't think he had anything happy before he died. It was supposed to be the freezing of the muscles on his face from the freezing weather. Two soldiers lifted the dead soldier and threw him into a nearby pit. I followed him out, only to find that there were almost a hundred corpses in the pit.

If my heart was still warm now, I would definitely cry over it, but I can't anymore. The only thing I could do was to go back into the big tent that made me feel so sick and ask the two Supreme Commanders of the Courage Defense, who were still having a good time with Redding: "Are you human?"

A flash of anger flashed across the face of one of the generals, but then he hid it again. He pretended to be puzzled and asked me, "Ma'am, I don't know what you mean. Is it because we didn't treat you well?"

"The hospitality was attentive and the hospitality was so thoughtful. I sneered, "How can it be that you have hired special cooks to entertain us, and then collected delicacies from the mountains and seas for us to eat and drink?

The general stretched out his hand indifferently and waved: "They, they are just tools we use to fight, as long as they can wield a knife and kill people at critical moments." ”

Firestorm suddenly felt that there was something wrong with him, and asked me suspiciously, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"You go out and have a look, especially if there's a big crater nearby, go and take a look. ”

Firestorm took an interest and immediately left the place, and I continued to glare at the two generals, "You actually use these soldiers as tools?

The other general, who was drinking, had a somewhat ugly face, but he did not have a seizure either, but forced a smile and said: "Madam, how can you compare us with those lowly things? We are generals, we are the core of this army, and they are dead and dead, just like the ants, and there are countless worker ants, soldier ants, and queens in each ant colony. But compared to the queen ant, those soldier ants and worker ants are just garbage that can be discarded at any time. And the two of us are the queen ants, they are also worker ants and soldier ants. Are you right?"

"Yes, I scolded the guy next door to you!" I was about to speak, when Firestorm returned. Before the two generals could react, the table in front of them was burned to char in an instant, and the fire storm had an angry look on his face, and on his hands, two flames were still beating on their own. "Now, tell me, what is the difference between you and those soldiers in the face of death?"

The two soldiers were startled, but they still calmly said to Reading on the side: "Auxiliary Minister, although your entourage is very disrespectful to me now, we still forgive them. You also know very well that if you kill a high-ranking officer of the Empire, whoever you want will be defeated. I don't think you would do that, Lord Reading, would you? “

Reading also immediately stood up to stop the fire storm that was about to go berserk, and said softly, "Whatever you just saw, don't have a seizure." Now that we are on the edge of the line of courage, don't let all our previous efforts be wasted here! Iron Mountain has paid the price of sacrificing his own brother in order to get here. I don't think you don't get it. “

Firestorm burst into tears: "Old man, if you go out and have a look, you will know why I did this, you get out of the way, let me burn these two dogs to charred meat!"

Seeing that Reading was gradually unable to stop it, Tie Shan on the side immediately pulled away the fire storm and gave him a slap. The unprepared Fire Storm took a few steps back and rubbed his face for a moment, while Tie Shan just glanced at the Fire Storm angrily and then bowed to the two frightened generals and said, "I'm sorry, two generals, my companion may have been stimulated by some irritation to have such a move, and please don't take such a thing to heart." “

Now that there are steps, how could these two generals who had gone through the world not borrow the slope to get off the donkey? After looking at the fire storm that was still in a daze, he pretended to be magnanimous and said: "Where, this brother must be because he was too tired before, so he is like this." But it's okay, we understand, understand. “

By this time, the firestorm had already gone out, and I was worried that he would do something immeasurable, so I hurried out. But when I was about to leave, I turned to look at the two generals and said coldly: "Two generals, I don't know if when you are dying, you will also call out to your mother at the end like them." "After that, I didn't stop and went out to look for Firestorm.

It took me a whole afternoon to see a somewhat stiff storm of fire on top of a towering tree near the camp. I laughed, "What, isn't it cold?"

Firestorm wiped his face and asked unwillingly: "It's not the body that's cold, it's the heart, it's the heart! How could these dog mongrels do such a thing? Look at their men, and then look at them gorgeously dressed, these dog things can bear to do this? Aren't they raised by their biological parents? This is still the fucking elite troops of this empire, and they are still fucking elite troops? How can such an army be combative?"

I jumped up and sat side by side with Firestorm. "So, from the beginning, I knew from the beginning that there was nothing worth saving in this empire. The reason why I am doing this now is that I don't think I can let those innocent low-level civilians and soldiers become instruments of suffering. Obviously, the country had reached some kind of agreement with the apostles, otherwise with such an army, let alone resisting the apostles, they would not be able to support it for even an hour. But what exactly are they planning?"

Firestorm immediately stood up, but the trees were also covered with heavy snow, making him almost slip. "I've got to go to the Courage Line and see what they're plotting about!"

I pulled him and tried to calm him down. However, at this time, some changes suddenly appeared, and I saw a white pillar of light suddenly appear under a familiar tree not far from us. It's space magic. Could it be that the people from the north are here again?

When the white light disappeared, the person who appeared was not anyone I knew. And, judging by the outfit, this magician turned out to be a woman.

"Heh, could it be that there are more and more magicians in this world who can use space spells like ants coming out of their nests?"

The magician who had just appeared was not angry at my ridicule, but looked at us lightly and said softly, "You don't have any need to go to the courage defense, I can tell you what you want to know." ”

"Who are you?"

The magician laughed shallowly: "My name is Hua Siqi, and I am the magician who was on the courage defense line before. ”
