Chapter 744. The kindness of returning to reality
Seeing that the air pressure in the field was getting lower and lower, Austinger hurriedly stepped forward and hid Gilbert behind him. With a smile on his face, he said to De Witt, "Captain De Witt, I'm sorry. We're going to have to hurry up and help set up the tent. I beg your pardon. ”
As soon as the words fell, before DeWitt could reply, Austinger took Gilbert's hand and left the place.
DeWitt looked at the backs of the two of them drifting apart, and asked Crémont and Able on the side, "Do you think Gilbert found our motive for sending Austinger to him?" ”
"Well," replied Cremont, pursing her dry lips, "I haven't seen it yet." ”
"I don't think Gilbert had found out, otherwise it would be hard to imagine that, given his age, he would have stood so calmly and aggressively at us on such an occasion." Abel calmly analyzed.
"Abel has a point." DeWitt nodded: "But his wariness of us is indeed higher with the sun." ”
"From the moment the intention of keeping him in the army was established, didn't we have to sing black faces in front of him." Crémont didn't pay much attention to Gilbert's attitude.
DeWitt darkened his eyes in silence, looked at the blue sky and white clouds above the plateau and sighed.
"My life is really miserable!"
At the dinner table, Jeb wails as he holds his lunch box that has been swept away by Gilbert.
Levine stomped his foot with laughter: "You stupid big man, who told you to have nothing to do?" I've got a thorn in the head. ”
Jeb said with red eyes, "That little guy is faster than the Ru in my field." I can't catch up no matter how much I can. ”
"I can see it, I can see it." A soldier with a rice bowl next to him said in disgust: "Yes, in order to compensate you for letting us watch an amateur vs. professional competition, you can choose any dishes in this bowl." ”
"Really?!" Jeb's eyes widened and he said happily. Two flushes also appeared on his cheeks.
"Hmm." The soldier nodded.
"Thank you, thank you." Jeb was busy.
"How much stomach can you pad just by eating vegetables, come on, come on, I'll give you this rice." A soldier sitting across from him stood up and said.
"Thank you." Jeb's face buried in the rice bowl lifted up and said movingly.
"I used to think that you were a new recruit, but you were a recruit who had just joined the army for a year. It must be great to be selected here as a new recruit. The soldier who gave Jeb the meal said.
"It's not very powerful, Levine just knew me today: it's just a bit of brute strength by nature." Jeb was a little embarrassed by the compliment, and his words became modest: "yes, Captain Levin." ”
Levine sat in his chair, looked at the soldiers around him with a look of enthusiasm and curiosity, and sighed in his heart: why did he hide Jeb's dinner when he knew this.
Originally, he wanted Jeb to suffer from not eating dinner all night, so he could also find an opportunity to educate Jeb that he must not compare himself with others in the future.
I just didn't expect that Jeb's personality and demeanor would be very popular among the soldiers.
Levin spent most of his time in the barracks dealing with senior officers.
As a result, such days passed for too long, and I couldn't help but ignore the enthusiasm from the other soldiers.
At this moment when the table full of soldiers was 'celebrating' Jeb, Levin really felt his military life.
"Actually, I knew I was coming to our barracks for a long time, because you were already much bigger than us, and you could be seen at a glance in the assembled ranks. It's just that, looking at your face, it feels like you're not easy to touch. I didn't come to say hello to you, but now I know that you have such a good personality. One soldier praised.
The group chatted more and more, and from time to time new people from other tables came to join, and it was this table that was the last to clean up that night.
In contrast to the noisy atmosphere in the open space of the camp, the three DeWitt quickly gathered together after dinner.
Sit down around the desk, carefully planning on the spread out map.
"Gilbert did lead us out of the territory of the snake woman, and the rest of the journey we were left with the territory of the dragons." It was Abel who broke the silence with his mouth.
"I've heard it's dormant for the dragons, but we still have to be careful." Devitt admonished.
"Finally near the volcano. It's been a real toss for me for the past two months. Cremont said.
"Although we said that this road was not smooth, we also collected good luck along the way. Not too many unnecessary sacrifices were made. Hopefully, when the mission is carried out, the situation will become clearer. Abel reflected on the past two months and said.
"It's not that easy to carry out the mission." There seemed to be a layer of mist in Claremont's eyes, and he crouched on the table at this time, and said in a low voice.
The other two didn't immediately reply, knowing in their hearts that the volcano was in the center of the island, and that the forces that could take root there were probably more powerful than anything they had ever seen before. And if you want to find out the news of the dwarves, you must participate in the struggle between these territories. It will be even more brutal than it is now.
"If you want to take the future into your own hands, you have to grasp the clues that lead to it. The moment we step into the volcanic area, everything we encounter will dictate the direction in which we are going. Get ready to set up your own defenses. DeWitt concluded.
Cremont straightened up and nodded.
The same goes for Able.
This was the end of the three-night meeting tonight, and Clemmont and Abel came out of the tent, and while enjoying the night breeze, Clemmont asked Abole, "Abel have you fought before?" ”
"I did, but at that time, I wasn't the manager." Able responded, "What about you? Where did you go with your country's army before this? ”
"No, I've always been a minor in the barracks." Cremont replied, "It's just that this time I was suddenly named and followed everyone to the present." ”
"Nervous? There's something about the future. Able asked, turning to the side and looking at Cremont.
"I was a little nervous, so my emotions became a little sensitive." Crémont took a deep breath and said, "But it's not just for myself to be nervous, it's for everyone. ”
"It's also the first time I've been appointed as a team leader, and when I was sitting down and thinking about it, I realized that my consciousness seemed to be far from enough." Able nodded slightly, looking into the deep night.
