Volume 1 Border City Chapter 1 Outpost
Under the cover of night, on the artificially cut open space between the borders of the two countries, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was holding his arms and rushing towards the border of the Blood Dome Empire.
The young man's face is immature, although he is dressed in the clothes of the Ole Empire, but his facial features have the characteristics of a blood dome man, this appearance is not special on the border between the two countries, the perennial border friction and trade routes are interconnected, and there are many people of mixed blood in the border cities of the two countries.
From time to time, he looked behind him, and crossed the clearing in the dark forest in front of the border defense of the Ole Empire, but the boy knew that it was not as calm as it seemed.
At the expense of his colleagues, the pursuers were still searching in the dense forest, but they would soon come towards him.
The calm jungle is like a devouring beast, waiting for an opportunity, but there is a glimmer of hope in the calm jungle ahead.
Suddenly, several screams were heard, and several arrows were driven into the soil around the boy, quite numerous, but they lost their accuracy due to the distance and the darkness of the night.
The young man quickened his pace, and soon leapt into the dense forest ahead.
Soldier: "My lord, it seems that the man has already crossed the border, and if we go further into the territory of the Blood Dome Country, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
"Got it, you go down. "The one who spoke was a middle-aged general with a beard on his face, this person was old and serious, it was the Rock God General Klaus, the great general of the Ole Empire who had been guarding the border all year round.
He looked ahead and said, "This group is good. After being silent for a few seconds, he continued: "I have already helped those who can help, if the border army really crosses the border, this matter may not be controlled, not to mention that the arrow just now has attracted the attention of the other party's outpost." ”
"Thank you, General, let's do the rest ourselves. However, this time the pursuit and suppression, the adults have made great contributions, and their subordinates will definitely report it truthfully. ”
After a cold snort came, Klaus turned to leave, and the border guards followed, and just after walking a few dozen steps, a sentence came: "If you dare to mess around, all the consequences will be borne by the rat leader of your Black Flag Army, Lao Tzu is not only talking about chasing and suppressing this matter." ”
Then, in the shadows of the dense forest, several figures in black armor appeared, with a trace of shadow hidden under their calm eyes, like a group of poisonous snakes.
In the dense forest on the border of the Blood Dome Empire, several soldiers soon came to the place where the young man entered the dense forest, and after some investigation, they divided into two groups, one group quickly followed the traces, and the other group returned to the outpost to report.
At the same time, there is a light cavalry of about 500 people assembled in the dense forest of the Ole Empire, this group of people does not belong to the Ole border army, but the Shence army directly under the Ole royal family, all black war horses, black armor, the array is neat, and the men and horses are silent.
The man in black who had spoken to Klaus earlier was staring intently at the dense forest ahead.
Suddenly, there was a gas fire behind the dense forest, and it was extinguished after a while.
The man in black smiled knowingly, and with a wave of his hand, the cavalry rushed out in a grand manner, heading straight for the opposite side.
And Klaus, who was on the city wall, saw this, but his eyes were fixed.
"My lord, the Black Flag Army won't make a mess like this, right?" the lieutenant general asked with a shocked expression.
"It's okay, it seems that the old friends on the other side are not monolithic. However, pay more attention to the Black Flag Army in the future, these rats are a bit tricky. Tell the soldiers to strengthen their patrols in the past few days, and we will not be involved in the following matters. ”
The lieutenant general took the order and left.
In the dense forest, the young man's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a soldier in the tree in front of him, holding a longbow was aimed at the young man, and a long knife behind him had also poked out of the darkness.
"Boy, who are you?"
"I am a member of the Blood Dome. ”
"You said you were you, you were the one who came in from the other side tonight, how do I think you look like a spy?"
"I'm really a person from the Blood Dome, I fled from the Ole border to my homeland, I'll be safe here, the two eldest brothers see that I have injuries on my body, and I don't have weapons, can you put down your weapons first." ”
"Less nonsense, this is the border, and no one will say anything if you accidentally kill you. If there's nothing to prove your identity, then come with me to a prison on the border. The big man with a long knife stepped forward to search, and found that the young man's left arm was wounded, and there was nothing else on his body, so he nodded to the soldier with a longbow in front of him.
The young man then said: "Both, I am the one of the tomb guards, and I have been lurking in Ole, this time I have a confidential mission, I advise you to pretend that you don't see me." ”
Hearing the word tomb guard, the two were obviously stunned, but the fear hidden in their eyes could not be completely concealed.
The man with the bow on the opposite side smiled: "It's really a spy, but it's not a spy on the other side." Then I wanted to spit on it, but as soon as it came to my mouth, I seemed to think of something, and swallowed it back.
Thinking of the Ole arrows left behind on the border, it was very likely that the young man was not an enemy, so the two relaxed their vigilance and decided to escort him to the outpost.
The young man spoke again: "Two big brothers, how can I have anything to prove my identity in this situation, or I will go back with you, and then let the minister of the tomb guard branch come to take me, I thought about it for a while, so that I can also have the protection of the two of them, and I don't have to worry about the pursuit and killing behind." ”
"It's best if you think so, as for the pursuit, what kind of place do you think this is, how dare you cross the border on the other side. ”
The boy hurriedly said yes.
Then the man with the bow put down his bow and arrows and walked slowly.
The big man with the knife took out the rope and said, "For the sake of insurance, please ask my brother to be wronged." ”
"It should be, it should be. ”
Before the words fell, the young man was a dodge and detoured behind the big man, and a punch hit the big man in the neck, but the big man was hit in the neck regardless of the backhand.
But the young man was obviously not a mortal, but he grabbed the knife with the big man's right hand.
At this time, the arrow in front of him had arrived, and the young man stabbed the knife into the big man's body from the back after slashing it.
He then drew his long knife and slashed at the archers who were only a few steps away.
At this moment, a low roar came from behind the tree on the side, and a third person came out, heading straight for the young man's right hand holding the knife.
The boy hurriedly blocked, but the opponent's knife was pressed all the way to the boy's right shoulder, and blood overflowed from the knife, but the knife could never enter the flesh again.
The boy was injured but his left arm hit the incoming man directly in the chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of the incoming person's mouth and flew upside down.
The archer's second arrow had arrived, and although the boy avoided the vital point, he was still shot in the left leg, and he did not move forward, and threw out the long knife with his right hand, but it was firmly nailed into the archer's forehead.
Then he walked in front of the third person who couldn't fly: "I underestimated you, I didn't expect that there is another one that has been hidden in the shadows, if the martial arts are a little weaker, I'm afraid I will explain it here." ”
The third person lying on the ground covered his chest, his mouth mixed with blood and said, "I didn't expect that a random young man would actually enter the hall with martial arts, and the three of my brothers confessed to it." ”
"You guys are also very good, worthy of being the elite who can be scouts at the border, but you are not a full team, otherwise it is unknown who will kill the deer. ”
"Without further ado, is Ole going to march?"
"No, I'm a tomb guard. ”
"What about you。。。。。。 ”
Before the man could finish speaking, his neck was twisted and he died.
Seeing that he had already lost his breath, the young man slowly spit out a sentence: "There are some things that not everyone can know, especially not to let some people in the border army know." ”
Then the boy limped towards a mountain on the border, leaving only three dead bodies on the ground.
On the other side, when the messenger arrived at the outpost, he found that the outpost was now full of strange soldiers in fine armor.
Without much thought, he and another companion went outside the command room, and were allowed to report inside.
As soon as he entered the interior, he saw that the main seat was not his squadron leader, but a young general in his twenties, and when he bowed his head and saluted, he swept the dragon pattern on his cuffs, and his heart was shocked, this person was the deputy commander of the division who commanded 10,000 people.
Squadron Leader Liu Jun was the first to speak: "Report something quickly." ”
The person who reported the news briefly explained the situation, and at the same time another person entered the command room and reported: "My lord, I found that the unknown cavalry on the opposite side had crossed the border, and the number was unknown, but not less than three hundred, and I requested that we immediately gather troops to intercept it." ”
After listening to the report, the squadron leader immediately said to the people on the main seat: "Lord Xiao, you see that you are fortunate to have you at the outpost tonight, otherwise the small estimate is enough to choke." If you see if you send a message to the garrison, the cavalry should arrive in half an hour. ”
"Don't use it for the time being, my people will go to investigate again, only more than a hundred people, and the elite I bring is enough. ”
"Yes, yes, that's what you said, then I'll let them accompany all the adults under your command. ”
"Good. Then Lord Xiao ordered the people he brought to go and investigate with the border soldiers who came to report.
At this time, squadron leader Liu Jun also led Lord Xiao into another house, where there was a table of wine banquet, although it was not exquisite, but many delicacies from the mountains and seas were unique to the border, and they were really not eaten in the mainland, and there were actually two women in addition to them.
"My lord, take a rest and wait for the news ahead, and the little one will go down to do things first. ”
Xiao Ming looked at all this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything. Liu Jun silently withdrew from the big tent.
After Liu Jun came out, the two squad leaders came to Liu Jun's bedroom, and one of them said to Liu Jun: "Captain, this is not right, not to mention that the soldiers of my outpost have experienced a hundred battles, how can they find out the information, it will take time to review, and the fighter plane is fleeting." Moreover, tonight's inexplicable fire is seen by all the big guys, and the time when Xiao Ming came is also very strange. ”
The other squad leader also chimed in.
At this time, Liu Jun's face was gloomy, how could he still have the servile face that was groveling just now: "Let's not ask more about this, we can't afford to offend this person, I hope the brothers can be safe this time, don't worry about it, wait for a response." ”
Half an hour later, the soldiers who had gone out to investigate returned to the outpost, still in the command room.
When Liu Jun saw that Xiao Ming's face did not change, he knew that this person was probably not enjoying everything he provided, and he was even more cautious in his heart.
Xiao Ming's people entered the room, but they didn't see the soldiers leading the way, and after they came in, they said directly to Xiao Ming: "My lord, after our investigation, we have not found any trace of the enemy, those people lied about the military situation, and when they saw that the matter was revealed, they actually intended to escape, and they have been corrected by their subordinates. ”
As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the command room froze, and in an instant, the breathing of several people suddenly became extremely dangerous, and there was a faint sound of the knife handle opening in secret.
Liu Jun suddenly walked in front of Xiao Ming and knelt down on one knee: "The little one didn't take care of his subordinates, please punish the adult." ”
Then several squad leaders also knelt on one knee to ask for punishment.
Xiao Ming glanced at Liu Jun and said, "It's none of your business, the people involved have already been punished, please take up." Everyone serves the country, it is obvious to all, the food and salary of the border posts have doubled, and in addition to the lack of manpower, Captain Liu can give priority to selecting good seedlings among the new soldiers this year. I'll be bothering here a lot these days, so be it for tonight, and all will be fine at the border. ”
"Thank you, sir, we will live up to your expectations. ”
Immediately, everyone dispersed, and Liu Jun also explained to the people below that tonight's matter ended here, but the two forces of the entire outpost were even more separated.
And in the dense border forest, a cavalry team also ran towards the mountain after passing by the corpses of three border soldiers.
