"Of course we're afraid." "That's why we're going to deal with the Earl together." ”

"Are you saying that if the Count takes revenge on any of you, the other two will go to help?" I asked.

Brotz nodded, "That's right." Otherwise, any one of us will be wiped out quickly if we face the Earl alone, and it will be difficult to have a chance of winning. ”

Looking at the three people in front of me, I knew at this moment that these three people were not simply the same enemy. In fact, these three people are a close-knit alliance. However, it seemed that they were still taking a considerable risk in doing so this time, so I spoke: "With the feeling that I had fought with the Earl two nights before, if he attacked one of you with all his might, you would still be in considerable danger. So I still have to ask if you guys help me so much, am I not worried? ”

Hearing me say this, Broz and the collector both looked at the bearded Vukovic. Vukovic sighed and said, "Of course there are worries. In fact, we have never stopped worrying, we have been trembling all these years, if it weren't for the hard life of our people, we wouldn't have held guns, would we? But we don't see our homeland fall into the hands of a man like the Count, and we can't see our own people persecuted, for that simple reason. If he is coming, it's nothing, for a few of us, the Count is going to come sooner or later, and even if we don't take the initiative to deal with him this time, he will come to us. Vukovic looked at me as he said and smiled, "Frankly, this time to help you is also an opportunity for us to strike at the Count." But now it seems that the effect has far exceeded our expectations. Before, we just wanted to lure the Count back to your own territory so that you could find time to continue dealing with the Count, but now it looks like we'll have some time to worry about the Count. ”

Vukovic said this very truthfully, in the form of what he said, in fact, if it wasn't for Kochiman and Fastich wanting to bite off the Count's fat, then we might still be worrying about how to deal with the Count's return at the moment. I spoke, "Actually, this is thanks to your help, otherwise Ke Qiman, the leader of the armed forces who are now in a fierce battle with the earl, would not have decided to attack the earl. I think Milic is quite clear about this. As I spoke, I looked at Milic, who nodded in approval to the three men. Then I continued: "Perhaps it was only when they learned that you had struck the Earl's heart that strengthened their faith. If it weren't for your efforts, these people would have watched us fight to the death with the Count and pick up the pieces. So we should really thank you, and what I want to say to you is that if the Count takes revenge on any of them later, I will unreservedly help and fight! ”

I seemed to be pleased with the three of them, as if they had been preparing to draw me into their alliance against the Earl.

"That's great. To tell you the truth, we had plans to work with you against the Earl. Vukovic said.

I stood up and said solemnly: "I think you can see that I am a person who has nothing to do with the Slavic peoples, or with the peoples of the Balkans as a whole. I have been sent here for a mission that I cannot tell you, but I can assure you that it is definitely not a mission that is detrimental to you and to Serbia as a whole. I can tell you that the first target at the moment is the Count. The blow I am talking about is not simply that you come and go and I fight and then get along, my blow is to destroy, to destroy them. ”

"That's right! It's long overdue to wipe out the Count's gang once and for all! The collector stood up excitedly and shouted, "When are we going to do it?" Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity and let's kill it again? ”

Before I could speak, Vukovic had already signaled Trovic to calm down, and then he said: "I don't think it's a good choice to go now. ”

"Why?" Trovic was very unconvinced: "I know that the earl is not so easy to deal with, there will be a group of people to help him, but is there a better chance than this in the future?" ”

Vukovic smiled and did not speak. I can see that this man is not as simple as a priest on the surface, and from the time I see him, I can conclude that this man is very familiar with the relations and forces of the various armed forces or gangs here, especially the Earl. And he smiled at the moment and didn't speak, it seems that there are some things that are not easy to say directly.

"Ke Qiman: They can't be trusted." I said directly, "If those people were reliable, I don't think I would have used so many brains to ask Milic to contact you to help." ”

Vukovic looked at me in some surprise when I said this, then smiled and turned to Trovic: "You understand now. ”

Trovic nodded and sat down, Vukovic sighed and said: "Although our armed forces are all petty fights, they are all real and fresh people, and more importantly, they are all people we are familiar with, and some are more like family." With them alongside a bunch of people you can't trust, I can't do it. In my opinion, let's see what the battle between this man named Cochedman and the Count looks like. ”

"Okay. Then let's wait and see. Hopefully, these men will knock the Count to his stomach. After saying a word, Trovic touched his stomach and said, "Isn't it time to eat?" I'm already hungry. ”

Since they decided to wait and see, then these people will not leave here for a while. Actually, I don't want them to leave too soon. I want to unite with them, and I have more plans to guard against the Count's retaliatory counter-attack. I'd like to see them stay here for now.

Around half past one in the afternoon, the first wounded were sent here. There were about twenty people in total. From the mouths of those who sent them, we learned that the resistance to the attack was increasing, and that reinforcements from the Earl had appeared, and they were immediately thrown into battle. Worse still, there is a growing tendency for such armaments. Kochiman had already arranged for Fastich to take on the arms of the Count's reinforcements, while Kochiman himself continued to storm the Count's defenses.

After arrangements had been made to receive the wounded and to assign men to care for them, at two o'clock in the afternoon the sentry reported that a group of armed men had come towards us. Soon the armed men sent in and got in touch with us.

As we thought, this was the team that Jojic had brought to reinforce Kirchiman. When this team passed the road in front of our station, I found that this team was larger than the 100 or so people mentioned before, not only a lot more people, but also a lot of weapons and equipment, ammunition boxes, mortars, and two trucks with 120 mm mortars in tow.

"It's on the line... I whispered.

The oil bottle next to me looked at me and said, "If we could have been so involved in the previous battle with NATO mercenaries, we wouldn't have been hit by the earl." Why don't we really step in? ”

"Hmph. If you really want to say this, I also said that the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was fought for a few years. Let's go, don't look at it. Hurry up and rest, now that we're spectators, you want to help others don't want to see you. I said.

After Jojic passed us with his team, the wounded were brought down at regular intervals, and some were transported elsewhere. Progress can be learned from these people who have come down one after another, but from the performance of these people who have come down, you can see that the form is not good, or at least not good. And what they told us is that at one point, with the help of Joic, Kirchiman broke through the Count's defenses and attacked the Count's castle, but before he could touch it, Fastić's defense was torn apart by those who rushed to reinforce the Count. The gang quickly threatened Kochiman's flank, and it was with the help of Joischi that Fastić blocked the gap and temporarily stabilized the situation.

At this moment, I can't help but secretly congratulate myself that I didn't take the team to take advantage of the fire, and now it seems that it is really hard to say who was robbed by whom when I really got there. However, this Ke Qiman is really resolute enough, once he thinks about it, he will devote himself to it, do not hesitate, and his execution is quite high. Anyway, this person is really a character, and he will have to be more careful in the future.

I looked not far away, and kept watching, and from time to time I chatted with the retreating wounded and with Vukovic, who was transporting them. Maybe it's because this guy is dressed as a priest, and because it's all Orthodox here, he talks to anyone, and they try to answer him, and they look respectful on their faces.

I walked over to him, and after he had finished speaking with one of the wounded, I spoke, "Who are these men who help the Count?" Are they all amazing? ”

Vukovic looked at me, smiled, looked at me, and said, "Are you really religious?" ”
