Square face, beard, and a pair of small eyes with a cold gaze...... This is what Weiss sees as an enemy sniper through the "God's Eye". His entire face was painted with dark green slurry, and it was difficult to guess his exact age, but judging from the characteristics of his costume and the temperament exuded by his body, there was still a clear difference from the "Black Death" of the Norman Empire, not to mention that he was left here alone. If he was really the famous Baron Cross, how could the soldiers before him dare to go first?

"Black Death" Baron Cross may have died in the Monamolin Mountains a long time ago, it doesn't matter who this thing is, the important thing is that he is holding a highly accurate "Falcon" sniper rifle in his hand, although its caliber is slightly smaller than the Grumman M3.2 of the Ulster Free Federation Army, but because of the use of pointed long bullets and micro-conical shells, the muzzle velocity of the chamber is fast, the long-range accuracy is high, once it hits the human body, the explosion power generated by the instantaneous cavity effect is not smaller than the standard ammunition of the "Grumman Burning Stick", on the battlefield" The probability of "one shot into the soul" is very high.

The heavy fire from the cruiser had burned the tree where the sniper had been hiding to ashes, and the smell of scorching was in the air, but the guy didn't look scared at all. He was motionless with his sniper rifle in his hand, his right eye fixed on the scope, and in his field of vision, a five-man combat team led by Sergeant Emerson was approaching. The smoke of gunpowder blackened their faces, which, combined with the mixture of sweat and mud, amounted to the application of natural tactical camouflage. Acquaintances can still identify it, but if you have never met someone who wants to identify the battlefield through photos, it will be very difficult!

Perhaps it is for this reason that the snipers did not open fire for a long time.

At the same time, the Ulster Free Federal Army's 2nd class cruiser "Musketeer Barreto", which was the first to arrive at the scene of the incident, was moving slowly above the woods. On its upper deck and in various firing hatches, more than two dozen marines, rifles in their hands and pineapple bullets in their waists, stared down on the woods below. During the exercise, the ship's artillery ammunition depot was loaded with empty cartridges, while the marines' gun ammunition depot could still be found in real people!

In a short time, the five-man combat team led by Emerson was already under the noses of the enemy snipers, and the critical moment was coming, but at this time, Weiss only felt a deep fatigue attack, and then lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed, his dirty combat uniform had been replaced by a loose and comfortable hospital gown, and although his right arm was swollen and painful, the white gauze reassured him.

"Ho, Captain, you're finally awake! How does it feel? A familiar voice came from the clinic.

Weiss turned his head and saw that the guy whose head was wrapped in a dumpling was none other than Kress Young of the third detachment?

"Uh...... It's good that the nightmare is finally over! Weissdau.

Thinking of that unbearable memory, Kress Young couldn't help but look back and sigh: "yes, it was a nightmare!" ”

After a moment of silence, Weiss asked, "What about the others?" How are they? ”

"Who are you talking about? Nikolai Lebold? In the final battle, he shot the enemy sniper, well, a shot through the chest, leaving the guy to die chillingly! ”

Weiss was relieved to learn that Nikolai was safe and sound.

"However, we lost Guarel, Resos, Malone, Flender, Jonathan Rumb, Worrall...... Well, and Kunison and Culens, with a total of 8 killed and 31 wounded, Basston has never suffered such heavy losses in an exercise. Heard...... The Chancellor Vanton has submitted his resignation to the War Department. Kress Young instead summed up what he knew in a deep tone.

Rector's resignation? This was to be expected, but Weiss let out a frustrated sigh. The occurrence of such an abnormal incident is difficult for people to predict and prevent, and the school's organization and dispatch of cadets to participate in the exercise has been a practice that has lasted for many years, and has been recognized and approved by the military leadership. If Van Don had to be held accountable, the only negligence on the part of the president was to allow the two "unstable elements" of Nicolas Leibold and Ron Clumber Haysen to participate in the exercise, rather than sending them to a safer place.

Weiss and Kress-Young chatted for a few words, and a "white coat" with shiny hair came to Weiss's sickbed: "Oh, how are you feeling when you wake up?" ”

"Swelling and pain, one after another." Wei Si responded, "I shouldn't have any sequelae on this arm, right?" ”

"Sequelae?" The slightly fat middle-aged military medic blinked, "Normally, this kind of trauma can be fully recovered as long as it is properly treated. ”

"That's great!" Weissdau.

The military medical officer looked at him kindly: "Well, I personally performed the debridement and suture surgery for you, and I can be 100% sure that the muscles and bones of your right arm have not been damaged, as long as you recuperate for a few months, you can ensure that you are as flexible and powerful as before, and you don't have to have a psychological burden at all in this regard...... Young recipient of the First Class Individual Merit, Mr. Clumber-Haysen. ”

"Oh! First class personal merit! That's great! Clinical Kress Young doesn't seem to be aware of the news.

The conversation between them was completely unscrupulous, and Weiss was immediately "locked" by the gaze of at least ten pairs of eyes.

Weiss should have rejoiced, but he couldn't be happy because of the dead and wounded companions, because of the injustice that had befallen the reasonable Principal Vanton.

Then, the "white coat" who was slightly greasy because of his fortune told Weiss that he had already changed the medicine yarn this morning, and the next change of dressing would be at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and he would be there in person. In the meantime, if you have any discomfort or other questions, you can always ask the nurses, or ask them to come to you, Lieutenant Ryder, a first-class medic officer.

Weiss had been nervous since leaving the transport ship to land "behind enemy lines", and it was only in this quiet, smelling field hospital that he was able to relieve himself of his psychological burden.

"Thank you! Mr. Medic! ”

The "white coat" smiled slightly: "It is a great honor for me to serve the future heroes of the Federation. ”

Weiss didn't say anything more, but looked around. The large white tent contained about twenty beds, and it was packed. Some are sitting, some are lying; Some people are asleep, some are awake. Among these "patients", Weiss saw a lot of familiar faces, they were basically from his own squad, and of course there were also other squads from the third battalion of the Baston Student Regiment.

With each familiar or similar face, Weiss nodded silently. At the end, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Kress Young in the next bed, "How long have I been asleep here?" Is the conference exercise over? The result? ”

In the face of this series of questions, Kress Young replied one by one unhurriedly: "You have been asleep here for three days, because hostile forces have infiltrated into the exercise area, the conference exercise has been announced two days ago to end early, many of the troops participating in the exercise have been reloaded with live ammunition, and they are still rounding up and clearing the remnants of the enemy. As for the results of the exercise, it seems that it has not yet been officially announced, and judging from the distribution of the battle lines when the exercise stopped, it seems that the two sides have reached a draw. ”

"A tie?" Weiss was surprised, "This has never happened before. ”

Kress Young responded: "Since the end of the last war, there has never been a case of hostile armed infiltration into the exercise area in all the years of the conference drills and major exercises. ”

"How's the situation with the round-up and clearing of the remnants of the enemy? Did you catch the live? ”

"I don't know." Kress Young replied dryly.

Those who stay in this field hospital can hear all kinds of gossip!

Weiss didn't ask any more questions, but lay down on the hospital bed and meditated. What exactly is the identity of the enemy? How did they get into the exercise area? Will they target Nikolai or Dragon-Clumber-Haysen? They acted decisively but recklessly, and if they were to let themselves command that small but elite attacking team, how could they rush into action without absolute certainty?

The more he thinks about the doubts, the more contradictory they are, and the truth seems to be a ghost of nothingness, and no matter how he hypothesizes and inferres, the end of logic is a dead knot......

In a trance, a slender and vigorous figure came to him and said in a low and friendly tone: "Hey, dragon, I heard that you woke up." ”

Weiss looked up and saw Luen-Schmidt's calm-looking face.

Although this old man was also a member of the provisional third battalion, because he was assigned to another squad as a deputy leader, he did not follow Weiss and Nikolai into a vicious fight in the woods.

"Oh, Rune, you're here." Weiss looked left and right, but he didn't see Nikolai's figure, why didn't he come with Schmidt to see him? Could it be that something bad is happening again?

Apparently seeing Weiss's doubts, Lune sat down on the edge of the bed and said in a low tone, "Nikolai followed Major Brooks, and should have gone back to Liberty City." ”

If Nikolai had just gone to cooperate with the investigation and avoid the limelight for a while, Rune would not have been in such a tone. Remembering what Nikolai had said after he was wounded, Weiss speculated, "Isn't he going to come back?" ”

Lune sighed: "He asked me to tell you that leaving the Patton Military Academy was the most painful decision he had ever made in his life, but for the safety of everyone, he had to do it, I hope you can understand and understand." He said...... He wants you to complete all of your coursework at Barston with flying colors, so that you can meet at the Army General Staff. ”

"Army General Staff?" Weiss's eyes widened.

"Every year, the top 10 graduates of the Baseton Military Academy are able to enter the Army General Staff as midshipmen." Luhn explained.

"Nicholas......" Weiss asked.

Lune didn't answer. Bringing the words that should be brought, he stood up silently and furrowed his brow. It seems that in addition to being reluctant to leave, he also has a sense of relief.

Weiss opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more. With Nikolai, of course, he doesn't need to worry about his whereabouts, and the fewer people who know, the safer it is for him.

All right...... The top 10 graduates, as long as they do their best, should still be able to do it, of course, they must do it!
