The man must have spotted me before I saw him, and I instinctively raised my gun, but I relaxed when I saw the person coming. Because it was Yugovic who came. The old guy saw me with a gun and a bag and motioned for me not to speak and to be quiet. Then he quickly leaned over to me.

After coming to me, he looked at my situation, handed me the kettle he was carrying, and said in a very soft voice, "You're the only one?" ”

I took a sip of water and returned the kettle to him, after all, I still have to travel, and if I drink a stomach full of water, I will feel more tired and walk more slowly. I nodded and didn't speak.

Yugovic took the kettle and patted me on the shoulder, and whispered, "You can do this, follow a bunch of NATO people." ”

"You found them? Then you don't hurry up and inform the others so that everyone is prepared. I spoke.

Yugovich looked at me and said, "Milk asked me to come to you." Now that's my job. If I hadn't taken you with me, there was a good chance that you would get lost at night in your current state, and it would be very questionable whether you could get out of here. ”

I chuckled when I heard him say this: "Uncle, the person you want to protect has already stayed away from here, and is probably no longer at the border, and left with Kostic?" ”

Yugovic looked at me in some surprise when he heard me say this, and then pretended to be innocent and said, "What are you talking about?" I didn't even get it. ”

"Alright, uncle. I don't want to pry into your privacy. I'm not interested in that, I'm not here to fight a war. Whether you admit it or not, it has nothing to do with me. I just stumbled upon it. Now let's go, and hurry up and follow the gang to find a way to inform Milk. With that, I prepared to continue on my way.

Yugovich saw that I was leaving, and he grabbed me, he looked ahead and whispered: "Even if there are no people on the border, it will not be peaceful." Petkovic and Dravic almost got to the rescue. ”

I stopped, the news was very unexpected for me, the first Petkovic actually returned to Serbia alive, and the second is that these people were busy doing it themselves before the catastrophe was over?

"What's going on? Petkovic went back alive? I asked.

The old guy nodded and said, "That's right, although I have injuries on my body, I am still far from death." Dravic quarreled with Petkovic because he didn't fight according to the plan we had agreed upon. In fact, the two of them have long looked at each other unpleasantly, and this time it was just an opportunity for Dravic to take advantage of the big defeat and Petkovic's strength to suffer heavy losses. ”

I looked around and continued to walk, "Isn't Dravic's loss great?" Who has lost a lot this time? It is estimated that only that Keqiman suffered the least loss. ”

The old guy helped me up the slope and smiled, "Ke Qiman's life will not be easy. This time the information was provided by him. ”

"So what?" I patted the gun on my back and said, "He should be the strongest armed organization you have here now, there are guns and people." What can you do with him? ”

"I'm not worried. Someone will deal with him. I've always distrusted that guy. In fact, let me tell you, there is not much difference between these armed groups and bandits, and they are more or less engaged in some illegal business. Otherwise, how can so many people be fed with guns? It's just that there is civil strife in the country, and there are many places where there are gaps in law and order, and these people not only occupy these places, but also stand on the side of Serbia, so of course the Serbian government wants to use these people. Yugovic looked at me as he said and said, "You also saw it two days ago, and everyone is not very united. In fact, it is not as good as the Albanian gang. Eventually, one day the war will end, and no one of them is crazy and wants to live a stable life. At that time, these gangs and armed groups will be very redundant, and reckoning may come. ”

"Uncle, what you said is the truth. Did Kostic leave with someone? I asked.

Yugovic nodded and said, "He left after stopping Petkovic and Dravic's fight." After saying that, the old guy looked at me and hesitated for a moment, then said, "The man I want to protect has gone with Kostic." ”

I smiled and glanced at the old guy, "Uncle." I said I don't care who you protect. But I suggest you let the man go home and do something else. It's true to be patriotic, but there are many ways to serve the country, and following these people actually seems to me to have no future. ”

Yugovic listened to what I said and didn't speak, but judging by his expression, he agreed with what I said. I looked at the traces left by the NATO team on the ground and whispered, "What about these people?" ”

Yugovich shook his head and said, "There is no good way for the time being. I can't inform anyone there at the moment. You should have noticed that the gang was carrying night vision devices, too. I don't think they used that thing to get on the road, they must have used it to attack at night. And I don't know if it's all their troops, but there's more than one way to where our people are staying now, and this isn't a road, but there are good roads to go in other places. At this time, those of us are very tired, and we must be planning to rest there before leaving. As long as it's night, it's useless to be prepared. If it's a retreat, how far can you go? It's still the same to be caught up then. ”

I nodded in agreement, since the other party sent someone to follow quietly, it must be planning to raid. They must have calculated that in such a situation, after fleeing back to Serbia, they would definitely not be able to stay away from the border line tonight, and even if we evacuated overnight, they could quickly catch up with us after locking on to the approximate target with the help of equipment and aerial reconnaissance.

Yugovic frowned at me and sighed: "I told Milk when I left, tell him not to let down his guard and lead people to watch the surrounding movements, and Dravic has suffered a lot after this time, and he also feels that he can't be too relaxed." ”

"That's all there is to it now." I looked at the old guy, "I don't know how many of us went back this time." ”

Speaking of this, Yugovich's face darkened, and he first pushed me up the hill, and after looking at the movement around me and checking the traces of the NATO people on the ground, he came over and continued to help me on. After walking some distance, the old guy spoke: "There are many dead and wounded. You and the boys led by Milk are less than half of the way back, and Dravich's or Kostic men have lost most of them, estimated to be only a third left. Petkovic's ranks were even worse, and I saw only thirty or forty people returning to the border. You know, Petkovic came with about 200 people. Not to mention Ivanovich, who in the end did not even manage to come out himself. ”

I let out a long sigh, "When I left there, there were still gunshots outside the woods from time to time, and I guess there were scattered people continuing to fight. ”

Yugovic shook his head, "There are scattered people for sure. I hope one of them will run back. ”

"That's right. I checked before I left, and I saw that two of your men had died there. I said.

Yugovic gave a soft "um" at first, and after a moment he spoke: "There are only three people in my team who have gone back. I told them to follow Milk's vigilance. ”

"Uncle, let's speed up. In any case, we can't sit back and watch these NATO dogs go and raid our people, and we can't be absent from this battle, if we can't notify them in advance. ”
