The man came over without beating around the bush and said directly when he saw me, "Mr. Cochiman would like to ask you and your companion named Milk to go with the team to attack the Earl. ”

The man's expression was grim, and it didn't look like he had come with good news. Still, Milk was brought over. Judging by Milk's facial expression, he looked like he had been woken up and looked very unhappy.

"What's the situation? The Count is coming? Milk asked, looking at me unhappily.

I shook my head and said, "No." And on the contrary, this one is... "I realized at this moment that I didn't know the man's name yet.

"Berkovic. My name is Belkovic, and I am the captain of one of Mr. Kochiman's squadrons. The man spoke.

I nodded and looked at Milk, who said "um" and said, "And then?" Don't tell me it's the Count who has started a frenzied counterattack, and it's about to come? ”

"Quite the opposite. Kirchiman wants us to go and attack the Earl with men. I said and glanced at Berkovic, "It looks like their attack isn't going well there, and they want us to go and help the handle." ”

Milk looked at Berkovich and said, "Our guys fought all night last night. We all need to rest. Actually, I want to kill the Earl too, but my people really need to rest. And what's wrong with you? I didn't seem to want us to interfere before, but I was walking around the Earl's territory with people, and we attacked a group of people from the other side, so why didn't you come to contact us to do it together? ”

Berkovich looked a little embarrassed to see Milke say this, but he quickly adjusted his mouth and said, "I think that's because, as you said yourself, you need to rest." And at that time, it seemed to us that we were sure that we would soon take the earl. Now that the format has changed, we need more men to help and try to defeat the Count before the sun goes down tonight. ”

"Why before the sun goes down? What's going on there? We won't go if you don't make it clear. Milk said with a frown.

Berkovich sighed and said helplessly: "Before the sun sets, it's because it's the earl's territory, if we can't take it before nightfall, we can only withdraw from the battle ground first, find a safe place to spend the night, or just end this battle." As for the current situation, frankly it is not going well, otherwise I would not be here to ask for your support. The forces that came to support the Count were fighting more and more, and Fastich was almost unable to resist it. ”

"Can't stand it?" Milk and I looked at each other and then continued, "I just heard from the people in front of me that Stitch repelled the onslaught of those men. ”

"It was just a wave of attacks. Before I left, Fastich was already in a bitter battle and had repeatedly asked Mr. Kochiman for support. Berkovic affirmed.

Milk pulled me aside and whispered in French, "Do you think you're going to help them?" ”

"This guy wasn't telling the full truth, and Gonvukovic told me that the peacekeepers or NATO people were likely to come. I think Ke Qiman is in a hurry and doesn't want to drag those people on. I said.

"But if you don't go, will you completely stiffen the relationship with these people?" Milk continued.

"Shall we send someone then? If we go to that place, we may not be able to come back, they won't let us go to be cheerleaders, most of them let us be responsible for fighting in one direction, I think most of them are responsible for plugging the loopholes of Fastich who can't stand it. I don't want to fight with that guy's virtue, believe it or not, as long as we help that guy, that guy will definitely be ready to withdraw first, and once this guy chooses to retreat, then we will become the queen of the palace. I said.

"So what do we do? To go or not to go? To be honest, I actually think this is a good opportunity to kill the Earl, and if it weren't for the fact that these people are too much for me to trust, I would have been ready to go. Milk said.

I shook my head and said, "Vukovic is very familiar with the situation here. I talked to him. The meaning of his words was evident that he did not think the Count would fall so easily. We can't take any chances, after all, the Count is only a part of our mission, not the ultimate goal, and we can't capsize on him if we want to capsize. So we can't take this risk. As for what to do? I am reminded of a situation in my hometown during the Liberation War, which I can learn from here. ”

"What's the situation?"

I smiled and said, "Let's go." But we dragged and went. ”

"Huh?" Milk looked at me for a moment before he understood, "You mean, promise him, but drag it out and wait for the real result over there." ”

I nodded and said, "That's right." I thought for a moment and said, "They definitely didn't take us into account when they did it, for the simple reason that they didn't treat each other as their own, just like us." Now come to us, the risk is very high. We had to guard against it. But since we have come to the door, and we are not prepared to fight with them, at least maintain a face-saving harmony, then agree. But when will it come, won't the legs grow on our own body? ”

"That's right. But it's only about 20 kilometers away from there, how can you walk there slowly? Milk said and looked around, then smiled and said, "We guys here are busy, it seems that it will take some time to select people, prepare weapons and equipment, and bring food and drink." He looked at me.

I immediately smiled and nodded, "That's it." ”

"Then I'm going to talk to that guy? Just promise him first. Then drag it as far as you can. Milk said.

I nodded, "That's it." You tell him you're in charge of leading the team. And then you can disappear for a while. I can't find you either. I said, gesturing to the sky, "It's not early, and that's one of the reasons I suspect they're looking for us for bad intentions." Wait for a while to see the situation before making plans, now we can only take one step at a time, but no matter what, these manpower in hand now can not be lost. ”

"Hmm. I understand. Milk said as he walked over to Berkovic, "The two of us discussed. We decided to bring people to support you. We'll go and prepare right away, select our men and prepare our weapons and equipment. ”

Berkovic looked a little surprised to see that we agreed, and wondered if I was mistaken. There was a flash of surprise in his expression. He looked at Milk and smiled, "That's great." Then I'll wait for you outside the station. ”

"Good, good. No problem. We'll start preparing right away. Milk looked at him.

Berkovic quickly turned and headed out of the station. I looked at his back as he left and said to Milk, "Did you notice that guy's expression just now?" In fact, he didn't even expect us to say yes. ”

"Seems to be." Milk nodded, "No matter, we don't plan to go anyway." I'm going to get busy first. But shouldn't we smoke a cigarette before we get busy? ”

And just like that, we began to "drag". After I finished my cigarette, I started to look at the wounded again, and Vukovic, who was still walking around from time to time among the wounded. And Milk, I don't know where he's gone. Anyway, there was no sign of him as far as I could see.

It wasn't long before Berkovic walked into the station again and asked us about our preparations in front of me when he saw me coming. I politely told him that preparations were underway and that Milk was already busy. Berkovic nodded and walked back without speaking.

Then he came again twenty minutes later, this time asking me directly if I knew where Milk was. I looked at him and told him that Milk was leading the team to the Earl, and that he was supposed to organize the men, but I don't know exactly where, and my task now is to keep an eye on it. ”

My answer seemed to make the anxious Berkovich seem to understand something, and this time he didn't say anything more and turned over again and went outside the station. After he left, Vukovic came to my side and said, "Are you going to drag it over there and get results?" ”

I nodded, "Of course." Let's go at this time? If they're real friends it's pretty much the same, but in reality? I'm not going. ”

Vukovic glanced at a sentry who was about to speak when a sentry came running from outside the station. I guess another team is coming, but judging by the sentry's expression, it doesn't seem to be a good person this time.

"Sir. A team is coming towards us. It looks like it's the mercenaries of NATO. I glanced at the sentry and said, "How do you know it's the mercenaries?" ”

The sentry looked at me and said, "They have a flag... One look at it you knew it was them. ”

I looked at Vukovic, "They're so swaggering?" What era is this now, and you are still crossing the border under the flag? ”

Vukovic pouted and said, "It's better to let everyone calm down and don't go too far." ”

I looked at the sentry, "Keep everyone on guard!" Don't attack them though, but be prepared for battle. ”

"Yes!" The sentry said yes and left, and I walked to the gate of the station, and when I arrived, the Serb armies outside the door all stood up from their resting places and looked coldly in the direction of the road.

I followed their line of sight, and the first thing I saw was the flag, this flag was very strange, it was a double-headed eagle with wings spread on it, this is not strange, this style of flag should have come from the Roman Empire, but the two talons of this eagle were holding two things that would never appear on a normal flag. Because the one on the right has a skeleton under its talons, and the other claw has a handful of gold coins. And on the eagle's head is not a crown or any other symbol of power, but a small hat like a beret.

"These bitches are too arrogant. Is it just a swagger? I said to myself.

And at that moment Berkovic ran up to me and said in an eager voice: "Please be sure to delay them, be sure to hold them back." ”

I looked into Berkovic's face, and this time he was much more sincere. It seems that Ke Qiman really doesn't want these people to appear. Instead of answering him immediately, I continued to look at the mercenaries, and after a moment I said, "What the hell is going on with you guys?" If you don't tell the truth now, then I will never help you keep them for even a second. ”
