Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Secret in the Tent
On the morning of the early winter of Rust, a white and dense fog, the frost day held up the nearby market town more and more clearly, people still started their day's life early, the streets gradually became busy, the training ground of the recruit camp was in full swing, and the last three days were the time for the recruit assessment, all the people were nervous, hoping to pass the assessment, officially enter the combat unit of the Rust Legion, of course, there is also a training team unhurried, still spend a lot of time on physical training, Every day they attract everyone's attention, especially in between trainings, and become the object of everyone's relaxation and laughter.

"Phew! Look at them, they don't do anything for a day, and they eat a lot! "A few guys in the camp kitchen complained while cleaning up the dining tent that was a mess every morning.
"It's okay," said the captain as he stood at the door of the tent with his hands on his waist, and looked at the Lawrence team who were running laps around the field, "I think there are a few boys who are pretty good, well, just that iron-headed kid, I bet he's definitely a good toaster!" When they lose, I'm ready to have him! ”
"Haha, then we'll be miserable, especially you, my lord, you can't let him do too much, or he'll be in bed for a few days like Lawrence!" The guys burst out laughing.
"Hmph, a rabble!" A rookie captain with a full face walked over and shook his head at the captain with a look of disdain, "Lawrence is simply a disgrace to the legion, I said, this kind of bullshit aristocratic person is not suitable for this place at all." ”
"Yes, I guess even here, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay for a few days, and what kind of rangers, the first time he brought new recruits, he made it like this." The captain continued to laugh, "It seems that the adults of the legion will send him back to Silvermoon City soon, and he will go back in a gray way. Captain Butcher, it looks like your squad will be fine again this time! ”
"That's right, don't look at who it is, our butcher's name is not blowing, many of the recruits trained from him have entered the ranger unit, you look at our butcher knife team, all of them are strong, they are all big guys!" The captain of the other team came over in response, "Hehe, when Lawrence first came before, he said that he wanted to challenge the strongest captain, I think you can rest assured this time, don't worry about it anymore!" ”
"Phew!" The captain nicknamed the butcher's knife said hatefully, "Let's draw lots to fight, I don't care what his injuries are, Lawrence, this kid, don't fall into my hands, I promise to let him lie down for more than ten days." ”
"I think it's about the same," the captain nodded, looking at Lawrence, who was still sitting on the edge of the training ground, "The other squads have laid off a few unsuitable people, this guy hasn't laid off anyone, he just runs like this every day, it seems that he really made up his mind to let the whole team lose!" ”
"May his injuries heal!" Captain Butcher Knife walked over his own team, "I really want to draw him!" ”
"Then it's up to your luck!" Another captain said, "Right now, all the squads are hoping to draw Lawrence, and they're so popular right now!" Ha ha! ”
"You bastards! Hurry up for Lao Tzu! Damn, the last one isn't allowed to eat! Lawrence kept shouting at the venue.
"your Lawrence!" Robin shot back loudly, "Haven't you had enough of lying down?" Would you like to taste my iron head too? Believe it or not, we're on it together? ”
Everyone laughed, and Lawrence waved his hand, "Good boy, you all have kinds!" Lao Tzu will endure you for three more days! ”
"Surene, what do you think!" On the top floor of the tallest tower of the fortress, Lord Barron was standing by the window, the vegetation of the Prancing Horse Prairie in the distance had turned gray and yellow, he rubbed his hands, shaking off the scraps of fire paint, the commander of the Rust garrison was dressed in military uniform, his plate armor was full of traces left by various weapons, and his short gray hair and stubble were silently telling of the years he had experienced.
Surenee frowned, carefully studying the letter from Attasia, "Impossible! His Majesty Theodore's griffin troops actually clashed with the capital garrison in such a fierce conflict? Dozens of people died? I think this Theodore is really crazy! The commander of the capital garrison is as loyal as you, and he ended up in captivity! ”
"We are all soldiers of the kingdom, Theodore seems to be impatient, it has been more than ten years, and now is the most dangerous moment, this guy actually did this!" Lord Barron was still looking out the window, "However, we must stay sober and not get involved, the Regency Kingdom of the Leo Family, it is impossible to maintain the status quo!" Surenee, don't forget our mission! ”
"Of course I know that, Father!" Su Renee blinked, put down the letterhead, and walked to the garrison commander, "We are here to defend, we are fighting for all the people on the continent!" ”
"I advise you not to think too much," Barron said with a blank face as he looked at Surenee, "I've heard some news, but I'm sure it's all bullshit, the rumors about the Lannos family have not been broken all these years, don't be someone else's target!" You are my proudest subordinate, the best Ranger, and don't forget that! ”
"Father, believe me," Sureni took a deep breath, "I know what I'm doing, I believe it's something we have to face, fate has chosen us, and I can't run away from it, just like our legion, our Rust mission." ”
Barron nodded, and gently stroked the huntress's hair with his hand, "My daughter, we only have to work hard and fight, everyone needs to chase their own beliefs, but what is right is the thing that we must use our blood to hold onto, we must think clearly!" ”
"Got it, Father!" Sureni said calmly, "However, Fort Santeni chose to send troops to Rust at this time, and it always felt wrong. ”
"Jerome has to be careful with this guy, except for him, the whole of Fort Santeny is the territory of the Griffon family," Barron pinched his forehead, trying to relieve the headache and dizziness, "A team of several hundred people, although they are all cavalry, this point of people is useless at all, we asked for at least three thousand people to support at that time." ”
"They must have some intentions, maybe it has something to do with the rumors, it's the guy we met in the Secret Whisper Forest, I hope they go and search the forest themselves, and don't come to our trouble!" Sureni responded.
"They will definitely come here, it is estimated that they will arrive in a few days, be careful!" Barron looked at Surenee meaningfully, "Including your dwarven advisors. ”
Sureni didn't say a word, and Lord Barron continued, "It's winter, and when this recruit training is over, we still have to replenish another batch before spring, and be fully prepared, the orc army attack may start at any time!" ”
"There is already a war on the steppe, the cavalry of the Serikan tribe is fighting almost every day, and there are more and more orcs, and we find that they have even launched attacks on the settlements of several larger Serikon tribes, but they are still full of hostility, and when our men approach, arrows will fly over to warn." Su Reni said in confusion, "On the mainland, everyone is suspecting that the number of orcs must be increasing rapidly through magic or other methods, or that the demons are really coming soon!" ”
"Let your men retreat, keep patrolling a few miles west of the defense post, and don't go any deeper into the grassland!" The garrison commander left the window and walked straight to the fireplace, "Go and call the others for me, damn these bullshit defense tactics, I'd rather lead the group out and kill all the orcs!" ”
At night, all the people in the recruit camp were hiding in the tents, the temperature outside was getting lower and lower, the tents were brightly lit, all the squads were making tactical arrangements, there were still two days left, which was the assessment day, and Bibo and they were no exception, the tent was noisy, and I only heard Lawrence shouting loudly, "A bunch of bastards, I think you'd better have a good attitude, lest you don't even want the kitchen and the blacksmith shop!" ……”
"Is it okay?" Bibo asked in a low voice, Lawrence nodded, "Isaac, it's up to you, explain it to everyone in detail a few more times, pay attention to every detail, damn, we only have one chance!" ”
"Captain, what about your injuries?" Robin asked, and apart from him, everyone else was fiddling with their assigned weapons in their hands, excited.
"It should be about the same!" Lawrence winced his eyes, "I'm leaving!" ”
Bibo cleared his throat, gathered everyone together, and whispered, "Remember, in the remaining two days, we will reduce the training time, everyone will be proficient in weapons, and our current physical fitness should still be very advantageous!" ”
"That's right," Robin nodded, fiddling with the soldier's spear, unable to use it in a small place, "I feel like I have muscles in my arms!" Roar, roar, roar! ”
"Hehe, remember, the current weapon training is of little significance, we will only formally study and train in various arms in the future, now, what we want is to unite and win the assessment competition!" Bibo whispered, "What we have to do is get the flag, and if we get it, we win!" ”
"So what do we do?" The big guy asked.
"There are three games in total, we will win only if we win two games, you have all chosen weapons according to your own strengths or experience, come on! Let's fight if we can, run away if we can't, or cover the people around us! Robin, you lead the five pikemen, Augustine, you big man with the rest of the men, take the sword and shield, although time is tight, tomorrow during the day we still have to practice a simple defensive formation. ”
The big guy nodded, and Bibo continued, "I'll support everyone with a short bow!" ”
"What?" Augustine asked, "Shall we be just one of you?" ”
"That's right, all you have to do is defend and hold them back!" Bibo laughed.
"Huh?" Robin said, "This can work!" But it seems that this is the only way to go, let's protect the captain and Isaac, and they go and take the damn flag. ”
"Haha, no, no, because of the captain's injury, he won't play!" Bibo blinked, "On our own!" ”
"This ......, even if the second game is a fluke victory, the third game is a team draw that has won, we will definitely be finished!" Robin muttered, "Then we have to win the first game!" ”
"Huh? No! Bibo laughed, "We had to lose the first game." ”
