Rhodes woke up to the sound of the cannons, and as soon as the young man nestled in the tunnel opened his eyes, he saw that his cousin had already refilled his gun with new polish by the campfire.

He pulled out the pocket watch in his arms, which was Rhodes's last win on a fixed target: "Did I only sleep for four hours?" ”

Speaking of this, the young man let out a mournful cry, and with a yawn, he lifted the blanket on his body, shook his legs, and then sat down next to his cousin: "Everyone is gone?" ”

"The break is only five hours, they are an hour before us, they are gone, and after we are gone, there will be ten minutes of ventilation here, and then new people will come and sleep." Suder said as he loaded the dismantled parts back into the gun one by one.

Rhodes glanced at the two open cans next to the campfire, and the smell of meat came from them, which made Rhodes appetite, he took out his spoon, and then took one and tasted it: "It's hot." ”

"Then cool it before eating, don't be like a child who hasn't grown up." Suder shook his head, loaded the last part, he put the gun aside, and then opened the flask some distance from the campfire and took a small sip: "Today, the offensive of Chaos has not stopped, Your Excellency Mage has already changed two batches, you better put the bayonet and holy water in your most convenient position, without the support of Your Excellency Mage, we can only rely on ourselves." ”

"I'm not worried about this, Your Excellency Marin said it well, we infantry can only outrun ourselves, we are born to be surrounded." Rhodes looked at his cousin as he picked up his gun, familiarly removed the parts and put them away one by one, and then began his daily care work.

"Yes, we are born to be surrounded, any chaos can outrun us, in this kind of terrain, we can't outrun any monsters at all, we can only form a defense line to protect ourselves." Rhodes's cousin looked at him as he spoke, which made the young man a little curious: "What do you think I do?" ”

"Look at your care of parts, I really can't learn your hand, how did you do all this without looking at the parts."

"I don't know, Lord Marin said it might be talent, but I think if I had talent, then I'd rather have a better shooting talent." Rhodes said with some reluctance, and his words made his cousin smile, and Suder sat aside, he picked up the can of meat, and scooped up a piece of beans and meat with a spoon. The fat pieces of meat are very thick, cooked badly before they are canned, and with antiseptic spices, although the taste is not as good as the natural meat taste, but without this canned food, even the king would be able to eat meat in this situation.

And now, they, the young people who came out of town, were able to eat meat in such difficult conditions.

Caring for his musket, Rhodes began to eat his own can, which was less hot when removed from the campfire, and the young man quickly finished the can and put it back in his duffel bag.

"Gone." Although the time had not yet come, Suder stood up, so Rhodes also got up, and the two brothers walked out of the rest place one after the other, and moved along the communication trench to the front.

As he moved, stepping out of the barrier that covered the traffic trenches, Rhodes glanced up at the sky—the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

This is the north, there are not many sunny days in a year, whether it is human beings or chaos, they are just oppressive young people in the face of the weather.

"It's the north wind today, and we're lucky, the chaotic things can't throw much far." After Rhodes finished speaking, he felt that today's wind direction was a good sign.

And there are more cannons than yesterday, in this minute, Rhodes heard at least forty cannon shots, these cannons are generally used to fight the chaos group charge, in front of the cannons, the general chaos demons are still not enough.

And those Chaos Demons who can block the shelling usually die faster - the Mage and the Priest will take them as targets as soon as possible, and it is said that there will be an extra-long tube double diameter cannon that has been delivered last night, this kind of cannon can shoot directly at the target, using armor-piercing shells engraved with the inscription of the blessing circle, it is said that even the champion-level Chaos Demon will be pierced by a single shot.

The morale of the soldiers is still high - the troublesome guys have been solved, and the soldiers can only hope that the chaos cannon fodder will be able to rush through the rain of bullets, but unfortunately they can't rush it.

Rhodes felt that if he was replaced, he would also have high morale - wasn't it just target shooting, those chaos walked like targets in the snow and mud, and what else was there to worry about.

Rhodes even felt that if he was the commander of Chaos, he would definitely make the troops retreat, because there was nothing left to fight, and the area was like a bottomless pit, no matter how many soldiers were filled, it would be useless.

From the point of view of Lord Marin, if the war has no chance of winning from the beginning, then do not provoke a war.

So Rhodes is a bit conflicted now - because he wants Chaos to give up the attack, and he wants Chaos to die headlong in front of the defensive line.

It's a shame, it's a thing that doesn't have the best of both worlds.

………………

In fact, just as Rhodes thought, by noon, Chaos was only a few tattered walking corpses with missing arms and legs, not to mention veterans like Rhodes who had been fighting for half a month, and even the recruits who seemed to have just been transferred to the battlefield understood - in a factual sense, they were victorious.

There was no exuberant excitement, and the vast majority of the soldiers were already a little numb - it was a joy to go from victory to victory, but the thought of having to deal with a gut-wrenching thing every time they fought was not in a good mood.

The last few dozen walking corpses were dealt with by the veterans with bayonets - the use of silver-seeping bayonets would do enough damage to the walking corpses, and the holy water taken beforehand would effectively prevent the spread of the disease.

Rhodes poked his head out and glanced at the battlefield, confirming that several veterans were even rummaging through the corpses of Chaos cultists for possible valuables, the young man retracted his head, noticed a small hole in the trench, Rhodes put gloves on himself, and then dug his hand into the hole, and then dragged out a rabbit in laughter.

"Worthy of Orion's child." His cousin sighed as he pulled a pot out of his pouch as if by magic.

Rhodes suddenly felt that the rabbit in his hand was not fragrant - he really wanted to have such a space bag.

"Don't be stupid, who's going to kill the rabbit?" Suder asked.

Rhodes was very unhappy and broke the rabbit's neck: "Give me the knife." ”

"Here you go, Chaos Cultist's battle knife, now the Yankee's bread knife after purification."

"Ha, next time I'm going to ask Lord Marlin to help me purify a Chaos machete, and I'm going to use it to cut off the heads of the Chaos bullshit champions!" Rhodes said.

And his cousin smiled: "Okay, it's quite energetic, I'll help you remember." ”

You guy doesn't talk to no one when you're dumb!

Before the cousin could finish complaining about his cousin, he heard gunfire and noise coming from the center of the battlefield, and Rhodes, who had just begun to peel his skin, poked his head out with his cousin, just in time to see the veterans dragging a guy into the defensive line.

"What's wrong?" Rhodes asked.

"Check it out." With that, Suder climbed out of the trench, and as soon as he was short, he slid down the slope.

He glanced at the rabbit in his hand, threw it into the pot, and then slid the knife down after taking it to his waist.

When I was a kid living in the town, the kids would always take shortcuts like this, and although sometimes they would fall and get bruised, but once they got used to it, it was a very fast way to get around.

………………

"Chaos just gave up the attack, just like Lord Marlin said, it's not worth our desperate efforts here, and the commander of Nurgle won't choose to continue fighting with us here as long as he can still think."

"I think they're just losing too much, and when they're replenished, they're going to keep attacking here, because if they break through here, they'll be able to cut off Copenhagen's supplies, and we're still building new supply routes in the north, and we're going to need time, and so is Chaos."

The young men who were staff officers were discussing, and Marin, who was standing at the observation post, did not meddle in the discussion between the young staff officers, but watched the daring soldiers rummaging through the loot.

Well...... Before, Suder asked him to help purify a combat knife, this time he simply helped other young people pick out some good weapons, although the long-range weapons of chaos are not good, but as long as the guys in their hands can complete the purification ceremony, most of them have a good foundation, even if they use these materials to re-smelt into weapons, it is also a good choice.

Looking at the front of the defensive line, some bold soldiers began to rummage through the corpses of Chaos believers, Marin smiled - these veterans really want money and don't want to die, but forget it, it's up to them to win the battle, anyway, the epidemic prevention measures are already in place, but the loot they find must be purified by the church.

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly noticed that the veterans stood up, and following their line of sight, Marin saw a Chaos believer standing up from the pile of corpses.

He didn't take two steps before one of the veterans raised his gun and knocked him down.

"Good marksmanship." Seeing that the Chaos Cultist was holding his leg and falling to the ground, Marin smiled and turned and walked out of the exit of the observation post: "Jon, come with me to have a look." ”

So the elder brother of the two Svensson brothers followed.

Following the communication trenches between the trenches to the front, the soldiers made way for Marin at the signal of their company commander, Marin came to the front, climbed out of the trench, and saw the chaos in the snow with his hands tied: "The marksmanship is good, I hit without aiming, who hit." ”

A veteran, who looked a little old, raised his hand under the gaze of his comrades: "Your Excellency, it's me." ”

"Yes, I think you look like you've been playing with a gun for a long time, and the gun in your hand is yours." After Marin finished speaking, the veteran's comrades-in-arms immediately smiled and congratulated, Marin patted the veteran on the shoulder, and then turned his attention to the Chaos believer, and said to the medical officer who was bandaging him: "Cure him, I will ask this guy personally when the time comes." ”

Then Marin noticed the commotion in the crowd, and he looked up in that direction: "What's wrong. ”

The crowd parted automatically, and a soldier walked out under the push of his company commander: "Ma, Lord Marin!" ”

He stammered a little, Marin thought about it and decided to blame this stuttering on his nervousness, so he smiled and slowed down: "Is there something wrong, soldier." ”

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, this man...... I seem to know. Speaking of this, the soldier sped up a little nervously: "I really know him, he should be from the town next door to me, but he shouldn't be here, he served in the 27th Division of the Wehrmacht, he can't be a Chaos Believer." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they began to whisper, and Lieutenant General Vigin, who followed Marin, interrupted these whispers with a loud shout, and he walked up to Marin: "Your Excellency, what this soldier said will have a great impact, I think this topic should be banned......"

"No, Lord Vikin, please go to the 27th Division of the Wehrmacht, find the soldier and bring him here."

"No, not Your Excellency!" The soldier spoke again.

Marin stopped the fury of His Excellency the Lieutenant General: "Soldier, is there anything else to add." ”

"The person I'm talking about, he is the commander of the 27th Division." After the soldier finished speaking, his company commander covered his mouth.

"Let go of your hand." Marin's order, even the company commander hurriedly let go of the hand covering his mouth.

The soldier looked at Marin: "He's the biggest officer in our field, and once when he came back I saw his face up close, exactly like him, even the scars on his face. ”

"Can you please ask this division commander to come over for a moment?" Marin asked with a smile.

"I would like to ask the marshals first." The lieutenant general did not answer immediately, but threw the pot to his marshals.

Marin, of course, doesn't complain about this - that's what Lao Cheng is talking about.

"Then please ask." After Ma Lin finished speaking, he walked in front of this chaos, the wound on his leg had been bandaged, and at this time he was being tied to a pole that had just been erected by several soldiers, considering that he had a wound on his leg, and the officers obviously wanted to ask something from this guy's mouth, so the soldiers did not hang him.

He lowered his head, and Marin couldn't see any expression on his face, so he reached out and called the soldier over, and Marin asked a question: "What is the name of the person you are talking about?" ”

"Stein Mansenheim, Your Excellency." The soldier replied with a solemn expression.

Marin nodded, he felt that the chaos in front of him was indeed the man the soldier said he was talking about.

For he howled until he was struck in the stomach with the butt of a soldier that he shut his foul mouth.
