30 Battlefield Entertainment
So, why did I sit down?
Weken watched expressionlessly as a small dice shook and flew up, and the ensuing joy and sorrow of several families.
"Haha, this kind of entertainment is still indispensable in war!"
So, why is Lear there?
There are even quite a few veterans who are also happily participating in this dice game that may break the bank.
"Wei Ken, relax, the general has arranged a special sentry. Lear felt Wei Ken's gaze, waved his hand directly, and said indifferently, "Moreover, this time is not a crusade against bandits, and the winner can be determined in one day." It's a war with no time limit. ā
"A war without an expiration date?" puzzled Weken.
"It was the king who decided to make the truce, and it was enough for us soldiers to follow orders. Lear laughed.
"Big, big, big!"
"Big!!"
"Little !!"
The swaying of the dice stopped, and finally the old bowls came together.
"Ahh
"It's small again!"
"Damn, I'll go untie my hands and come back with a change of luck!"
The veterans laughed and cursed, without the slightest sense of battlefield seriousness. Driven by them, the recruits and most of the "would-be veterans" who had participated in the bandit crusade were also slightly relieved.
Freud did not stop this bad military atmosphere, and took two veterans and a few recruits to explore the terrain nearby.
"Weken, this is war, your strings are broken too tightly, and they will break after that. Lear lost money this one, and continued to bet on the next one, "On the real battlefield, the more nervous people are, the easier it is to die." ā
"Is that so? I see. Weken nodded.
"Come on!" Eibar shook the dice, "buy it and get away!"
The soldiers were in a hurry, and the voices of the whole barracks were cheerful.
If the highest-level marshal saw this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood and die, right?
No...... This is a place where cannon fodder stays, and the marshal will not bother to be angry about the "consumables" on the report, let alone inspect it himself. At most, send a few people to see if the amount of these "consumables" is still enough, and whether it is still useful.
"Oh!!! Win!" Lear stood up excitedly.
This one bought him and became a winner.
Although it is said that the tight strings should be loosened a little, ......
Wei Ken's gaze swept over the veterans who had been on the battlefield.
They all have weapons on their bodies, and at the worst they also have a short knife. As for those long weapons, they can be seen all around, and they can be copied and used at will.
Except for some particularly big-hearted, some "quasi-veterans" also seem to be aware of something, and they also carry blades on their bodies.
Only these recruits. These rookies, who have only received training, have never been on the battlefield at all, and have never even fought for their lives against the enemy, do not have any weapons on them.
Wei Ken habitually nodded and stood up: "Lear, I don't play, I'll go find something else to do." ā
"Well, whatever you want. Lear waved his hand, still basking in the joy of victory, "By the way, remember to bring your sword with you when you go to the bathroom." Maybe you'll be able to come back alive. ā
"Understood. Weken nodded solemnly.
"Relax, the one who keeps a good attitude on the battlefield can go back. I'm going to buy big this time!"
Lear continues to "indulge" in the dice game, and the whole tent is very lively.
Weken stepped out of the tent and looked around.
A simple sentinel tower has been repaired and stands in the northeast corner, with a bronze bell installed on it to give an alarm.
"Well, it's actually a wooden tower made of broken wood, which gives people a very unstable feeling. Weken shook his head and looked at the two sentries above.
They were on guard, but they were also talking about the games in the tent, and there was no doubt that they wanted to be a part of it.
But they are to be on duty. As long as they dare to neglect their duties, I believe that Freud will personally remove a layer of skin from them.
The barracks are harmonious and peaceful, as if this is not the front line, but a campsite that has just been arranged to look like a barracks.
The premise is that the position not far away, which is also cannon fodder, is not cleaning the corpses near the camp at this time.
It seems that last night, this place was attacked by night, but fortunately there were cannon fodder, and the enemy did not succeed.
"It seems that the enemy's equipment is not very good. Weken frowned, trying to see what the equipment looked like on the corpses of the enemy.
"That's because, those guys who were ordered to attack at night were also cannon fodder. At this moment, Floyd's voice rang out behind Weken.
"General?" Wei Ken looked over.
Floyd seemed to have just returned, and the horse next to him had just been led away by a soldier.
"The use of cannon fodder is definitely not limited to the Kingdom of Raldo, all countries are using it, and the Vichy Empire is no exception. Freud waved his hand and stepped forward, "It seems that the enemy's night attack last night should have been just a temptation. General Tibi should have sent an ambush nearby, just to wipe out all those cannon fodder. Well...... It seems that the enemy's regular troops should have ignored the cannon fodder corps rushing ahead, but simply abandoned them and evacuated. ā
Weken nodded silently.
It is normal to retreat when encountering an ambush, and instead of letting well-equipped and well-trained soldiers die, it is better to let some miscellaneous cannon fodder be substituted for the dead.
Anyway, cannon fodder is just a consumable, so you don't need to use it in vain.
Freud continued: "If General Tibi had made a move a little later, he might have been able to deal with the enemy's main force instead of just destroying a few cannon fodder regiments, right?"
"Then the cannon fodder army over here......" Weken frowned.
"Wipe it all out?" Freud shook his head, "If it's not General Tibi, who is good at defense, but another general who is more proactive." Today, this land will be blood-red. ā
Weken swallowed.
Unlike the petty fights between cannon fodder, the regular legions put up a fight......
"Okay, let's not speculate here, now, we're also cannon fodder. Freud smiled, "General Tibi is notoriously good at defense, and I believe that he will not send us to the front, but will contain the enemy's western flank." Although there is no chance to gain battle merits, it is better than the Vichy Empire cannon fodder regiment that is now lying on the ground, waiting for the enemy to collect their bodies. ā
"Definitely. ā
Compared with fighting exploits and harvesting souls, it is obviously more important to save your own life.
"Weken, go find some entertainment, the patrols and sentry posts have been arranged with enough manpower, hurry up, otherwise the change of guard will be like the two guys above. Floyd smiled, nudged Wiken, and motioned for him to go away and rest.
"Yes, General. Weken nodded.
After thinking about it, sure enough, in this world, the most suitable entertainment for yourself is still ......
Lear gently tossed the bulging purse and hummed a ditty.
"Huh?"
Then his purse fell to the ground......
And not only him, but everyone who has won money.
And those who lost money, before they even had time to be depressed, were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.
"Wei Ken, don't practice swords in the barracks!!" Lear cried and laughed.
"No, it'sā"
Swish!
A sword stabbed out, and the small wooden strip that was an imaginary enemy was killed.
"Entertainment. ā
Wei Ken's face was not red, he was not breathless, and he did not intend to pay any attention to the stunned gazes of the people around him.
"It's not entertainment!"
"Entertainment. ā
"What kind of entertainment is this!"
"Entertainment. Weken nodded earnestly.
Lear felt that his words did not mean anything to be taken by Weken.
"Let him be, let him be...... I persuaded him, he thought it was entertainment, that is, entertainment......" Freud on the side patted Lear on the shoulder, shook his head with a wry smile, "Just take care of him on the shift, don't do so many night shifts...... Not bad......"
"Yes......" Lear smiled wryly.
