The unsuspecting soldiers, under the tacit decision of the commander-in-chief, began to march in a hurry--making a full set of acts, and in order to report to Ma Pei in time, they had to speed up. 「」

However, no matter how good the calculation is, some things are not subject to human will.

In the direction they were heading, a hazy gray pillar of smoke blocked the road, and even the blizzard did not make it completely disperse and disappear, and the curls spread out in all directions, and the gray of the smoke column expanded more and more, and it was obvious that there was a new fire smoke underneath it.

The wind and snow brought fragments of ashes in the distance, Lin An sniffed, the blizzard did not remove the burning smoke, obviously the fire was burning in the distance.

And the "column of smoke" that is expanding is supposed to be the result of something that can smoke in large quantities burning underneath.

The deputy stopped the procession, and the other came up to the officer-in-chief, as ugly as Franz.

Burren and Lin An glanced at each other, both a little dignified.

"What's going on over there?" Andrei wondered.

Presumably, this is also what hundreds of soldiers are secretly wondering, although they will not ask their commander directly like Andre, but this does not mean that they will not tell the news after they arrive in Mapei. 「」

There are many people.

Franz and the adjutant looked at each other:

They hadn't seen any trace of the demon mage before, so with the previous excuse, they could barely get by, but like this, they had clearly seen the wolf smoke after the friendly army was attacked and did not come to the rescue, and what was waiting for them after returning was the trial of the gendarmerie and the military court.

"There are friendly troops in front of them who have been attacked by the demons, and that is the wolf smoke for them to ask for help."

With no choice in front of him, Franz had already figured out the best response at the moment in a short period of time and made a resolute decision.

"We must lead the army to the rescue - the demons are so rampant, and the task of reporting to Ma Pei is also urgent!" Franz looked at Chamberlain. "Master Bran, this important task is now handed over to you, and I will send twenty soldiers and this deputy of mine to escort you to the nearest fortress quickly!"

Everyone present understood Franz's intentions.

The intermediate mage named Vernon approached the talking circle at some point, and when he heard this, his face turned white when he heard this, and he shook it, and fainted directly to the ground with a sigh, and the nearby soldiers were also a little commotion.

And those who are able look at them uneasily, with panic in their eyes, as well as defensiveness and distrust. "It's as if they think they'll be used as cannon fodder to die immediately.

At this time, I actually came to this set!

Franz gritted his teeth, and his eyes looked like they were about to breathe fire. At this time, he could no longer care whether the mages would feel offended, and were about to shout loudly at the soldiers to wake Vernon up, when a soft female voice spoke, neither high nor low:

"Since Mage Vernon has suddenly become ill, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to battle. Just leave a soldier here to take care of him. The nearest fortress should not be far from here, even if you don't know the way. Master Vernon should have found his way when he woke up......"

Lin An sighed faintly, turned to Franz, and said solemnly:

"The military situation is urgent, and we really can't do without more men, and Master Bren's heavy responsibility needs to be hurried, and he can't take Master Vernon with him - I have to make this decision!"

The other abilities were stunned. Only then did it occur to me that in this vast ice field, if Franz and a few of his guides were missing, even if they escaped, they would not be able to figure out where to go. It's even more difficult to find supplies, and demons may appear around at any time - it's basically a dead end!

Several capable people suddenly gave up some of the thoughts that were about to be moved in their hearts. 「」

Franz was relieved.

There is Lin An to stabilize his position. The team is not distracted, they should have the least ability to resist.

His expression when he looked at Lin An suddenly changed a lot.

Although I don't know if Lin An has any resentment about his deliberate arrangement of Chamberlain, she took the initiative to stand up at this time, and she already has a very good view of the overall situation, and she can still maintain such a calm attitude at this time, and then think of her age and gender, which makes people have to be amazed and admired.

Franz did not hesitate to hand over the command of the capable to Lin An - although he had originally planned to do the same, now he would be more relieved to know that Lin An was enough to suppress the other capable people.

Franz did not rush to the rescue, but sent people to reconnoiter first.

The adjutant and twenty soldiers, who were about to leave with Chamberlain, were ready to part ways with them.

Chamberlain's face was gloomy and he found Franz.

"I'll stay and let my brother go."

"Please forgive me for not agreeing!" Franz refused. 「」

"Why? Is it really that dangerous this time? Burren looked at the still expanding smoke screen over there, "The wolf smoke is still burning, indicating that the friendly forces should still have the strength to resist. ”

"It could be a trap - and not for a group of recruits like ours," Franz said, "It's not as dangerous as you can imagine encountering a horde of demons in the ice field. ”

"How is this possible! No matter what kind of trap it is, the other party goes deep into the defense line, and with our absolute numerical superiority, the demon clan is the stuffing wrapped in the dough, and the trap of making zuò can only kill itself! ”

Chamberen thought Franz was alarmist.

"If they don't have a mage who can perform teleportation, it is!"

Franz smiled bitterly, "A demon mage who can perform teleportation is like a rat burrowing everywhere, difficult to guard against and difficult to catch, even if our army can eat the stuffing he put in the trap, he can completely escape and continue to make trouble in the next place - as long as there is a steady stream of low-level demons to replenish him." ”

Franz sighed and said: "Every time this kind of demon mage infiltrates the rear of the defense line, it will stir up the entire defense line, if we can report the danger in time and strangle the danger before it expands, then we have made a great contribution - correspondingly, the demon clan will also pay great attention to not letting us ventilate the news, and will often wipe out any army that enters the trap, and even search for and kill the detachment that pursues the report nearby......"

Franz saw Chamberlain's expression solemn, "Your responsibilities and dangers are no less than ours, and the responsibilities are heavy--if it is His Excellency Rogil, if he encounters the pursuit of demons, can he have the ability to resist pursuit and escape?" ”

-- Almost certain death. 「」

Chamberlain's face changed slightly.

Although Lin An was on par with him, letting him go was the best option for Franz - Chamberen knew that Franz would never change his mind.

Moreover, Lin An and the three of them would never give up on their companions and leave, so Lin An stood on Franz's side so quickly and held a steady foothold - this kind of firmness and determination made Burren admire her deep friendship for her companions, and her heart was inevitably a little bitter.

"Then, please protect Rogil, as well as Master Ann and her companions—" Chamberen saw Franz's face change slightly, "I know your intentions, but I can tell you that none of the three of them are inferior to mine. ”

Franz changed color, his voice was dry, "...... ** division? ”

Burren nodded invisibly.

Franz immediately felt the urge to flee with his party - even if he returned and would be court-martialed.

***

In front of me was a tragic image after the Great War.

The temperature of the ice field was extremely low, and the wind and snow blew, and in a short period of time, the remains of the corpses that had lost their body temperature had been covered with a thin layer of ice, and the terrifying and distorted faces of the deceased before death were covered under the frost, and the wounds on the body were hideous, as if torn apart by the claws of wild beasts, and the limbs were scattered, which was unbearable to see.

The corpse of the soldier in front of Lin An was only half-lengthened, and there was a pool of blood behind him, and the intestinal organs dragged out of the stomach were scattered among them, and the blood was frozen hard soon after flowing out of the wound, and it did not spread too far.

The soldier's eyes were wide open, as if to highlight the sockets, obviously he should have died not long ago, but the temperature had long since been lost, and he was frozen into snow, as if it had been frozen on the ice field for thousands of years.

If they had arrived two or three days later, they would have been buried in snow and ice, and all they could see would be thick snowdrifts, with no idea what was hidden underneath the snow.

Lin An thought of the snowdrifts he had encountered on the way, and thought of the things that might be stored below, Rao is will was tenacious, and he couldn't help but tremble at this time, and a wave of nausea surged from the depths of his stomach pouch.

Her heart trembled, but Titi cheered in her spirit, drawing on the power of her soul.

Through the soul contract between Guò and Titi, Lin An could sense that the soul power nearby was very strong, and it was not completely dispersed, and it was obvious that the end of the battle would not take more than a day at most.

Looking at the scattered severed limbs and wreckage nearby, like a hellish scene, Lin An saw the cruelty and tyranny of the demon clan for the first time, and his heart was filled with a wave of killing intent.

There are many people around her who are more intense than her.

Andre's eyes were filled with deep resentment that could not be concealed, and Sheryl's hand was on the sword, her face was like frost, and the soldiers were full of numbness and pain-because she had to add that Ma Pei, who was at the forefront of the line, followed by Lin An, were all battlefield veterans transferred from all over the world, most of whom had experienced war and life and death, and their wills were tougher than ordinary mages.

"There's no need to look for it, there can't be a live mouth, the demons have even burned their scarcest food, and there will be no more live food."

Franz lamented, plunged one hand into the pile of charcoal-fired grains, and dug deeply, and the black charcoal particles fell, revealing the lower layer of the still pitch-black charcoal grains, and a few wisps of green smoke rose warmly:

The trucks that were stacked together and burned were supposed to be golden wheat and grain, but at this time, thick black smoke was rising from the charcoal-burned grain piles—the hundreds of people who died here were a grain convoy.

What they thought was the "wolf smoke" for help was the smoke that came out of the burning of grain.

"The battle should be over in about half a day, and there may be demons nearby...... Can we still find traces of them? Andrei asked, the motive almost on his face.

Franz was taken aback: "Oops, Master Burren......"

He repeatedly ordered that Burren be retrieved.

Lin An vaguely felt that something was wrong, and his eyes wandered around. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. )
