Chapter 6: The Black Death Arrives

Climbing over the snow hills, through an open area, to a wooden cabin in the woods, Weiss realized that the soldiers' situation was even worse than he had expected: four soldiers lying flat on the floor of the wooden house, seemingly lifeless, and three people sitting against the wall, a part of their bodyβ€”their head, arms, or torsoβ€”wrapped in a bleeding white bandage.

An elite combat team of 17 people, against 2 snipers, worked hard for several hours, was killed 4 people and wounded 3 people, what is the situation!

The black-haired, yellow-skinned young man walked up to a person sitting against the wall and saluted, "Sir! The dragon caught one of the enemy's shooters and did us a great favor! ”

This guy whose head is almost wrapped into a dumpling, and only his left eye is exposed, is the tall guy who saved his life last night.

"Your situation doesn't seem to be good." Weiss greeted in a neutral way.

"Yes, Dragon, we're really embarrassed like this, and I'm going to make you laugh!" Obviously, because of the experience just now, the tone and wording of the big tall man have changed a lot.

Weiss shrugged: "They're really not easy to deal with, and I was able to catch one out of luck." ”

The tall man said in a slow tone: "If I am not mistaken, they should be the elite marksmen of the Norman Mountain Chasseur Regiment, and they are the best at fighting in such a snowy mountain woodland environment. It's really our bad luck to be blocked here by them, but fortunately, we have your help! Last night's words were abrupt and offensive, I hope you don't mind! ”

"As you said, you took the risk of exposing your whereabouts by rescuing me last night......" Speaking of this, Weiss suddenly had a feeling of worry, he looked at the black-haired and yellow-skinned youth: "You are trapped here, can't it really be because you shot and exposed your whereabouts when you rescued me last night?" ”

The black-haired and yellow-skinned young man said calmly: "They should have followed Dr. Z's whereabouts, if there was time to set up an ambush in advance, we people would not be alive now." ”

When he entered the door, Weiss noticed three men and two women sitting at the foot of the wall in civilian attire, the oldest should be what they called Dr. Z, this person was slightly fat, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his face was pale, it was estimated that it was caused by fatigue and fright, the two ladies should be his wife and daughter, witnessing the exchange of fire between the two sides, some people were killed and injured, they were also frightened enough. The other two men, one middle-aged and one young, looked calm and athletic, and nine times out of ten they were the agents who escorted them all the way here.

The value of the "identification system of friend or foe" does confirm Weiss's speculation.

"Luke is right, they arrived later than us, they couldn't have come after last night's gunfire, you don't have to think like that." The tall man said to Weiss, and then he turned to the black-haired and yellow-skinned young man and instructed:

"Now that we've dealt with the enemy shooters, Luke, you take the uninjured men of Detachment 1 and 2 to escort Dr. Z and his family first, and the dragon with you, you should rush back to Shelter 9 as soon as possible, and hold out there until the cruiser arrives, and I will follow with the rest of the men. Remember, keep Dr. Z and his family safe no matter what! ”

Shelter No. 9 should be the snow-capped mountain barrier where I spent the night last night, which is the "9" marked on my map. As for the corvette, what is it? Can you climb a boat in a snowy mountain?

Weiss was puzzled.

After listening to the big tall man's order, the black-haired and yellow-skinned young god hesitated slightly: "Obey, sir!" See you at Shelter 9! ”

The tall man nodded with some difficulty.

The black-haired, yellow-skinned young man turned to arrange the personnel trip, and the tall man motioned for Weiss to sit down next to him.

"Listen to Luke, you've been studying command at the Barston Military Academy for a year?"

Without waiting for Weiss to think about how to answer, Da Gao continued to himself: "Gaston Military Academy is the best military school in the Ulster Free Federation, so I believe that your command talent is incomparable to that of us big soldiers, but you definitely lack some actual combat experience, and we have carried out various tasks and have experience and methods to deal with various difficulties. I say this in the hope that you will assist Luke as much as possible until the mission is completed...... Sorry, I know that's a bit of an abrupt statement, but if you're a full-fledged officer, we'd probably be happy to hand over command to you, but you're still a cadet. ”

"I understand, totally." Weiss said, "You know my relationship with Luke, so rest assured that I will do everything in my power to assist you until this task is completed." ”

Da Gao grinned, "Now it seems that the decision I made with great difficulty last night was completely correct. ”

In a few moments, Luke, the black-haired and yellow-skinned youth, arranged everything neatly.

Eight unscathed soldiers escorted 3 men and 2 women to the front of the house, and the big tall man led the rest of the men to escort the wounded and captured enemy shooters to the rear of the hall.

Weiss followed Luke and his party out of the cabin, and was trying to figure out that the "cruiser" was a god thing, when he heard a "boom" when he saw the soldier at the front of the team, a large piece of his right shoulder instantly turned into flesh and splattered out, and his person let out a terrible scream......

At the moment when Weiss was stunned, Luke, who was walking behind him, pulled him hard, and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Retreat! Everyone returns to the chalet! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another bullet flew in with a short, cold howl, and almost blasted Luke's head to pieces.

Luke and his companions are elite warriors accustomed to all kinds of storms, and they are not overwhelmed by this bloody and cruel sudden situation, but they do their duty and act quickly. Two fighters ran desperately to the house with Dr. Z, who was almost paralyzed, on the left and right, two fighters running towards the house with the two ladies in their arms, and two others trying to rescue the injured companion.

Weiss ran towards the house, and after a few seconds, he caught a glimpse of the flames of the mountains and forests opposite, and in an instant, the chilling cold roar that had just struck again. Less than ten meters ahead, the soldier who was supporting Dr. Z from the left fell in response, and the bullet fired from a long distance hit him squarely in the chest, leaving a terrifying bloody hole in the white trench coat, which splattered with flesh that exploded in the form of fragments, making the snow within three or four meters of the ground stained with an uncomfortable color.

Weiss, of course, didn't want to be blown to pulp by this large-caliber bullet, and when he saw that Luke quickly took the place of the fallen soldier and helped Dr. Z to continue to run forward, he ran forward with all his heart, and did not forget to make a beautiful S line on the way to the fast run.

As he passed by the soldier he had just died, he saw the blue sky reflected in his hollow eyes.

Such a death should be painless!

"Keep up! Keep up, everyone! Luke shouted as he ran ahead.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of bullets piercing his body and shattering his bones, as well as the muffled snort of the person who was shot in pain. Weiss turned his head to see that the soldier who was trying to save his wounded companion was shot in the waist, and the whole person was actually broken in two, red and yellow......

The scene was so shocking that Weiss didn't have the courage to look back a second time until he rushed into the room.

Before the enemy's third round of long-range sniper fire, everyone but the three servicemen who had been shot retreated to the cabin.

As soon as he entered, Luke exclaimed in chagrin, "El's dead, Kevin and Klaas were seriously wounded, and we lost three fighters in a minute!" ”

The tall cat, whose head was wrapped in thick gauze, was observing the situation outside by the window, and he did not turn his head, but said word by word: "The situation is not good!" We were bitten by a large number of enemy pursuers! ”

Luke leaned over and asked, "How many are they?" ”

The tall man didn't answer, but wrapped his arm around his neck and rolled to the side in a wrestling move. Between the lightning and flint, the wooden board in the corner of the window exploded with a "bang".

The debris dissipated, leaving a round hole in the wall panel that was much larger than a fist. Looking at this situation, if the two of them hadn't dodged in time, they would have been seriously injured if they didn't die!

Luke was athletic and unharmed, and he got up as soon as he was bone, but the tall man was lying on the ground and did not move, as if he had fainted?

Seeing this, Luke hurriedly flipped the tall man over and patted him on the cheek eagerly: "Are you alright, sir!" Sir? ”

The tall man twitched, then sat up suddenly, glaring and covering his head: "Uh...... What a headache! Those damn Norman dogs, one day I'll let them taste my awesomeness! Damn ......"

Seeing that the tall man was fine, Luke hurriedly beckoned to the surviving companions: "Everyone be careful, stay away from doors and windows!" ”

This wooden house is about eight or nine meters horizontally, about five or six meters longitudinally, and covers an area of only forty or fifty square meters.

Weiss was hesitating when he suddenly heard the soldier next to him shouting: "Klaas is still alive, he ......"

Following the prestige, the soldier whose shoulder had been cut off by the bullet staggered to his feet, half of his cheek stained with his own blood, but the other half of his cheek was clean, and he gritted his teeth and gasped, and after standing still, he raised his left hand and raised his middle finger at the enemy in the distance, and his face was full of recklessness and disdain!

Weiss's eyes widened, and then he watched as the warrior's head and neck were blown away by an enemy shot, and the remnants of his torso fell straight back......

Suddenly, he burst into tears, and the shock he felt in his heart could not be described in words!

"Hahaha!" The wounded and captured man in white in the room suddenly laughed wildly, "Surrender quickly!" Otherwise, lowly Ulster worms, you will die one by one by the guns of the 'Black Death' Baron Cross! ”

"Fuck you bullshit Black Death!"

The soldier standing next to Weiss rushed over in a rage, grabbed the guy by the collar, pulled out his short gun, and pressed it against his jaw: "Norman dog, you don't want to commit murder on the territory of the Free Federation of Ulster!" Call again, I will sacrifice you to the loyal souls of the fallen warriors! ”

Luke shouted, "Calm down, Costy! We are soldiers of the Free Commonwealth, not beasts of the Norman Empire! ”

Immediately afterwards, he said in a somewhat soothing tone: "We will use our guns to punish these violators of the territory of the Free Federation of Ulster!" ”

The soldier let go of his hand, but still spat in the face of the man in white in anger.

"I think they've sent at least two detachments, and it's a naked military invasion!" Da Gao gritted his teeth and said, "In order to capture a scientist who is unwilling to work for them, they actually risk provoking a war to send so many soldiers across the border to operate, it's really disgusting!" ”

"What does that mean?" Luke asked himself, "That means they're ready for a massive invasion of us!" Ever since Hohenstaufen signed the Promise Treaty on behalf of the Norman Empire as crown prince, a comeback has been brewing! They have been waiting for this day for almost twenty years, and it's time to show their true colors! ”

Shenma Promise City Agreement? Shenma Taoguang is obscure? The comeback of the gods? The Norman Empire and the Ulster Free Confederation, what kind of hatred did these two countries have, so that the soldiers on both sides are on the same side as soon as they meet? Is this familiar episode a different time and space version of the "Mustache Raising Plan" or an industrial era version of the "Legend of the Little Soldier"?

At this moment, Weiss had no intention of speculating so much, he wiped away his tears, put away his compassion, picked up the "Grumman Burning Stick", pulled the bolt open, and saw that the yellow bullet was lying quietly inside, waiting for his firing command, so he reset the bolt and tried it.

"Whoa!" Luke shoved a handful of bullets into Weiss's hand and whispered to him, "You are the heir of the Clumber-Haytham family, and the hope of the family's revitalization, please protect yourself in this battle!" Also, the reason why Dr. Z wants to escape from the clutches of the Norman Empire is because he doesn't want the Norman Empire to master and use some kind of destructive weapon technology to rule the world, so we must protect him and his family from here safely, even if it costs everyone's lives! ”

Weiss nodded solemnly.

Luke hesitated for a moment, then reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, "Hey, Dragon, do you remember the story of the Ten Knights of the Holy Armor?" Stand up for justice! Indomitable! Today, let's fight side by side like Knights of the Holy Armor! ”

"I, not me anymore." "No matter what I was like before, Luke, who I am today, is your absolutely trustworthy partner!" Anyway, keep that in mind! ”

"Yes, I see a different you, a you who is destined to give us hope." The corners of Luke's mouth curled slightly, probably trying to give him an encouraging smile. However, his companions were killed one after another, and the situation was precarious, and he really couldn't laugh in such a solemn atmosphere.
