Chapter 18: Daily Life in the Trenches
"Sergeant, how long have we been squatting in the trenches?"
Sergeant Aban, who was looking at his neighbor across the hill with a telescope, turned around and said, "It's been half a month, second lieutenant. ”
An Jie sighed and said, "Yes, it's been half a month......
In the past half a month, she has basically done nothing, or the entire imperial army has done nothing. The reason is simple - the order from above is to stand by and gather troops.
So far, the Imperial army in the Brienia Hills has increased to 80,000 men, and it is expected that there will be a total of 82 divisions in the entire Western Bloc, and I am afraid that more will come.
To be honest, An Jie was a little worried. But she wasn't worried that her side would lose, after all, this was an army of nearly 100,000 people! There was only one thing she was worried about - if it went on like this, her heart would rust if she didn't do it well.
Unlike the peace of the past year, she can find a place to hone her skills and magic to her heart's content. Now that she's on the battlefield, she has to prioritize orders from above, but ......
"Nothing to do......"
An Jie poked the can in her hand boredly, completely ignoring Sergeant Aban's sweaty expression.
"Second lieutenant, generally speaking, it should be the best state to have nothing to do on the battlefield." He laughed dryly: "After all, who would expect artillery fire to fly all over the sky......"
Before he finished his words, An Jie glanced at him, and then he stopped talking.
It's not that no one expects artillery fire to fly all over the sky, and there is one in front of him.
"Sergeant." After poking the rubber-like pork in the can, An Jie simply put the food aside and said to Aban, "Do you want to have some fun with me?" ”
Aban's cold sweat came down with a brush!
After getting along with An Jie for half a month, the magicians in the second row of the magicians basically understood the temperament of their own ensigns. The will to fight is really speechless, and the strong patriotism is even touching!
And it's so cute, I don't know how many soldiers from other units looked at them with envy, jealousy and hatred, and then stared at their own head officer as if to say: Why are you not a woman.
To be honest, Aban, they have been proud of this for a while.
This period lasts for three days.
Half a month ago......
An Jie stood on the high platform and said to his subordinates: "From today onwards, I will officially become your commander. I have only three requirements for you, one is obedience! The second is obedience! Three or obedience! You've got three days to think about staying, and if you're still in my team after three days, I'm sorry. ”
She said gloomily: "At that time, all those who stay, I will call him like a dog!" Mentally prepare me!! ”
No one took her words seriously at the time, except for Sergeant Ken. Three days later everyone was out of luck...... Except for Sergeant Ken.
Aban still remembers the lecture that Second Lieutenant Scallett had gathered together after he had received the order from the division commander to attack......
"The soldiers of the other units say that we magicians have privileges."
This is true, infantry units need to crouch in the trenches all day to reconnoitre, and the magicians only need to stand guard a few days a week.
More than thirty soldiers in the second row of the magic guide were called together by An Jie, and looked at her with a confused expression, not knowing what she meant...... Except for Ken and Bruce.
Ken was called by Anjie to go through the formalities at the time, and Bruce was Anjie's adjutant. The two of them watched An Jie's ulterior PY deal with the division commander all the time, and when she took out the attack order and shook it, only the two of them had cold sweat on their foreheads.
And under the gaze of a group of people, An Jie sneered: "We have to tell them - the privileges of the magicians are all exchanged for their lives and battle exploits!" ”
After that, Aban had his most memorable day. All the sorcerers of their second platoon were dispatched under the mandatory order of their own commander, while all the soldiers of the Brienia Hills were on standby. All the members of the second platoon of their magic guide were ordered by the division commander to sneak up on the enemy's transport railway line, on the grounds that he meowed that the enemy might not be able to deliver ultrasonic weapons......
At that time, Aban wanted to flown the table and roar at what the hell is an ultrasonic weapon!
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that this so-called reason is made up, and as for the purpose, judging from the hideous expression that the second lieutenant showed from time to time on the march, the purpose is probably to eradicate dissidents.
The new officer has three fires, and Ensign Scarlet must fulfill his promise to turn all the magicians in the second platoon of the wizard into her hounds.
Of course, there will be those who are not convinced, but all those who are not convinced are basically unlucky. The enemy's transport railway line was in the rear of the Brienia hills, and the kingdom of Zam had a city very close behind the army, and their goal was there. At that time, all the second lieutenants who were not convinced by Scarlett basically died on the way through the military area, and it was also on that blood-filled road that they saw the power of Angel Scarlett for the first time.
A genius sorcerer, an iron-blooded hunter, a rabid dog of the Empire, a madman in the skin of a young girl............
"Sergeant!!"
An Jie shouted and dragged Aban out of his memory.
"The battle has begun! Charge with me! ”
There was a loud military horn and a faint march behind him, and Aban was in good spirits and completely came back to his senses.
"Enemy?! Where is the enemy?! ”
He tried to grab the binoculars to take a look, but halfway through his grip he redirected and grabbed his magic rifle.
It doesn't really matter where the enemy is, just charge with your own ensign.
Because, "Ensign Scarlett will always only rush to the place where the enemy has the most!!" ”
Aban took a sharp breath and followed the small figure with the other comrades who stood up and launched a charge.
The battle ended quickly.
An Jie kicked the corpse next to her feet, and the steel prosthetic limb collided with the iron on the corpse, making a crisp bang.
"What are you doing?! The sound of artillery shook the sky, and as a result, a reconnaissance company came over, teasing me?! ”
Looking at her trembling all over, she was obviously not angry.
The only 21 remaining magicians in the second row of the magic guide looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but the battlefield that others avoided was like going home to her, and those infantry units still did not come in handy today.
"Go back to sleep! Ken, you take them to continue to squat in the trenches, remember to report to me what happened. ”
Sergeant Ken immediately said, "Yes! ”
However, at the moment when An Jie turned around, there was a sudden sound of "Bang!" from the enemy's camp. "A bang!
An Jie's body shook.
"Ensign?!" ×N
"No fuss, I'm fine."
Her body quickly stabilized and stopped shaking. An Jie reached for the back of her head and deducted a squashed bullet from the magic shield that she had never revoked for 24 hours.
"It's a sniper."
An Jie looked at the bullet and concluded, "Although I really want to run back to retaliate, I don't have an order...... No way, retreat! ”
So a group of people ran towards their camp again. The enemy sniper was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to fire again, but he saw in the scope that the demonic young girl suddenly turned around and stretched out her hand to him......
A blade burrowed quickly into his brain along his scope, smashing his brain to pieces. Before he died, the last picture he saw was An Jie's outstretched little hand, standing a middle finger......
