Chapter 45: The Eve of the Battle [I]
With the flickering fireworks in the eyes and the melodious and somewhat boring sound in the ears, this exciting Chinese New Year has finally ushered in.
It's lonely to do what we do, but it's also very happy.
When we sit alone in front of the screen and silently wave our fingers, loneliness always rises involuntarily, but it is precisely because of book friends, friends who like to read my books and share the pain and joy of books with me, that the loneliness in my heart has become happiness.
Thank you, thank you so much!
Here, Menghan has a New Year's greeting to you! I wish you good luck in the New Year, all the best for your family! I also hope that in my book, I can make you happy!
After a series of mobilization and organization, the improvised slave legion in the fire prison finally had a decent framework. Although this force is a patchwork army, it is definitely not a rabble. The so-called rabble, after all, is a loose military mentality and selfish war-weariness, and such armed forces have almost no combat effectiveness.
However, although the slave army under the leadership of Zhao Yan had no armor, no training to raise soldiers for thousands of days, and no number of people were equipped with qualified weapons, their cohesion was very strong. Just because, in the hearts of everyone in the slave army, there is a common belief, that is, to live and fight for freedom!
Supported by this belief, the Slave Legion is quite explosive and has great potential. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan is very confident.
It was only ten days of training, but after just a few days, Zhao Yan saw the results of the training, which was not the improvement of the combat effectiveness of each slave soldier, but the overall discipline, standardization, and cohesion had been greatly improved.
He was not very familiar with Zhao Yan of the Aya Continent, and Zi Qianjun had never told him which country's general he was, but Zi Qianjun really did his best to conduct strict training for the slave army as he said. At this moment, Zi Qianjun seems to have returned to the battlefield and completely entered the state, in fact, in his heart, he has never given up the belief of escaping the fire prison, and has been waiting for the opportunity. Later, Zhao Yan came, which touched his inner thoughts, and after getting along with Zhao Yan for a period of time, Zi Qianjun gradually found that the opportunity he was waiting for finally came, and this was the action of his self-recommendation.
Zhao Yan was satisfied with the status quo, everyone correctly implemented their own plans, in just nine days, the construction of the Fire Palace was basically in the final finishing touches, and only some interior decoration and other projects remained.
Looking at the fruits of their labor, the majestic and magnificent, the flaming palace full of fire, the slaves had an indescribable feeling in their hearts. It's both a majestic work of art and a disaster. Because of it, the extremely sad term of fire prison appears, but it is also the wealth that these poor people built at the cost of their lives.
This thing is really hateful and pitiful.
These days, under the leadership and arrangement of the dragon and Sige, the work efficiency of the three battalions of the militia battalion is very impressive, and they seem to be a real construction force, unified and rapid. The division of labor is reasonable, and he works hard, and although the dragon is used to shouting, there is no place for him to shout. When it was time to rest, he immediately threw the hoe and shovel in his hand at the entrance of the fire palace and returned to the stone cave to sleep neatly.
The performance of the slaves made the thieves have nothing to say, and they even wondered, what forces drove them, what filled them with power?
The work of work, the training of training, it seems that the only one who is not busy is probably Zhao Yan. And Zhao Yan really didn't do anything, just walked around every place in the fire prison, looked at the terrain, and connected with Boke in stages.
Pok is only in his twenties and nearly thirty years old, and in the words of this world, he is definitely a genius. In this world, there are not many people who can reach the S rank at this age.
Zhao Yan has also met with him twice in the past few days, and even chatted for a while, from the conversation, Zhao Yan felt that this person was actually quite good, at least he was not the kind of brazen and evil man, but he was a thief by profession, but he did not choose to be a thief, but entered the thief group to do something like robbing a house. Putting aside these major rights and wrongs, as far as human beings are concerned, Zhao Yan still agrees.
I don't know if it's night in the outside world, but even if it is, I can't see the stars.
Zhao Yan opened the curtain and saw Bi Er Sifei sitting at the head of the bed, looking at the top of the cave with a pair of eyes, looking thoughtful.
He walked over with a smile, sat next to Biersfei, and said, "Xiaobi, you called me?"
Bi Er Sifei turned his head, and when he saw that it was Zhao Yan, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, "En, big brother, I can't sleep." ”
Zhao Yan smiled, "Are you homesick?" or is it because of the tension of tomorrow's battle?"
After a pause, Bilsfi said, "Both." ”
"It's no wonder that you have been wronged by such a thing at a young age. But don't worry, we'll be out soon, and you'll be able to see your mom and dad soon. ”
"I ......"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yan saw a strange look on Biersfei's face, "Is there anything wrong?"
"No, no problem. Bilsfi's head shook like a wave, and after a long pause, she squeaked and said, "I don't have ...... parents."
Bilsfie's expression was a little sad.
Zhao Yan was instinctively stunned, it turned out that Bi Er Sifei was an orphan, "Xiaobi, I'm sorry...... It's just, in that case, do you have a home?"
"For as long as I can remember, I've lived in the village, and my sister has always cared for me, and after that war in a neighboring country, our village was also destroyed, and then my sister and I were separated. Later, I was caught here. ”
"Well, according to you, even if you go out, there is nowhere to go!"
Bi Ersfei nodded, seeing her appearance, Zhao Yan was very distressed. But Zhao Yan can't do anything, it's not that there is no place, Tababa Village can be inhabited, but the problem is, he can't bring Biersifei back to Tababa Village! Even if he does, it's not now. In the current Tababa Village, even self-protection is a problem.
"Then Xiaobi, don't you have a master, who did you learn your healing techniques from?"
Bilsfield shook her head, "I didn't learn this, and I knew by accident that I had the ability to heal, but I rarely used it. ”
Zhao Yan felt curious, he didn't need to learn, could it be natural?
For a while, Zhao Yan hadn't come up with a good solution, and he didn't have the energy to think about it so much, after all, the top priority now was tomorrow's battle. When Zhao Yan inspected today, he found that most of the slaves, including Chugh and Sige, were very nervous and extremely sensitive.
Zhao Yan had no choice but to give a light lesson to his slave friends in several ways, telling them to rest well tonight no matter what, no energy, no physical strength, how to fight tomorrow's battle?
By the time everyone had settled down, Zhao Yan was already tired, and as soon as he got out of bed, he heard Bi Ersfei's call to him in the next room.
After a moment of silence, Belsfi whispered, "Big brother, I ......"
"Xiaobi, if you have anything to say in the future, just let go and talk to me directly, do we still need to hide between us?"
Moved a little, Bilsfi nodded, and continued, "I want to be by your side all the time tomorrow. ”
"Follow me? Why? Are you afraid, do you want me to protect you? Actually, no, General Zi is much more powerful than me, and you are safer by his side. ”
"No! it's not like that! I hope...... I hope I can be by my big brother's side, always treat my big brother and take care of my big brother. ”
Zhao Yan was a little stunned, looking at Bi Er Sifei's innocent eyes, he felt that this little girl was really likable. smiled: "Xiaobi, it's not good for you to follow me, when the time comes, my task is to contain Poke, it is inconvenient to have more people, and the danger factor is very great." Besides, you are the only priest in the legion, there are many brothers who need your help, you can't give up on them because of me, your task is very difficult, it is very important for us to be able to break through the encirclement, you know?"
"But because you're in great danger, I'm very worried, I don't want anything to happen to my big brother, even if it's a little bit injured. Saying that, Bilesfei lowered her head very devotedly, paused for a while, and twitched as if crying, and her words were mixed with crying, "I don't want it, I don't want anything to happen to my big brother!"
Zhao Yan looked at Bi Er Sifei with a different look, Bi Er Sifei's shyness, and Bi Sifei's gentleness, Zhao Yan couldn't help but find out, did this little girl have feelings for herself?
That's unacceptable, this little girl's age is probably not even sixteen, and Zhao Yan feels that Zhao Yan doesn't dare to accept it. You know, on earth, you will be despised, and if you are serious, you will lose your head.
But after thinking about it, Biersfei's age is a very sensitive and youthful stage, and she has a completely hazy feeling about love, she doesn't know anyone in the fire prison, only Zhao Yan, plus Zhao Yan has saved her again, and she is the boss, and gradually gave birth to a lot of wonderful feelings. She was still too young to probably take this feeling as love.
Zhao Yan believes that when she grows up, she will understand.
Zhao Yan stretched out his arm, grabbed Biersfei's arm, and comforted: "Don't worry! Big brother will be fine, you have to believe big brother, okay?"
"Besides, since we are so scared in our hearts, we have to fight tomorrow, don't we? No one wants to die here! The daily battle is not a personal matter, but a matter related to everyone's fate! So Xiaobi ...... You have to have faith in yourself and you have faith in me. ”
Bi Ersfei's head tilted slightly, and leaned into Zhao Yan's arms, she felt that this embrace was very warm, "Big brother......"
"So, you must not do this now, you will make me worry and distract me, if I can't concentrate during the fight, then I will be really prone to accidents. ”
"But big brother, I really want to help you. ”
"Actually, you've been helping me all along! Because of you, Lao Zi's training will be more open. If you rest early, recuperate your spirits, and devote all your energy to the battle tomorrow, and strive to get timely treatment for more injured brothers, this will be a great boost to our combat effectiveness! If our combat effectiveness is improved, our hope of success will increase, so your task is really very arduous! Xiaobi, don't think about anything now, prepare for tomorrow's battle with peace of mind, you can only really help me if you perform well, no, it should be said, it is to help everyone!
Bi Ersfei raised her head lightly and stared at Zhao Yan's eyes, with crystal tears shining between her eyes.
Zhao Yan also looked at Bi Ersfei, in an instant, the crystal glittering eyes contained incomparable warmth, and even in the next moment, Zhao Yan felt that his body was actually solidified, and he couldn't move as if he was electrocuted.
Bi Ersfei's gaze became firm, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Big brother, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
"En!" Zhao Yan nodded, touched Bi Er Sifei's head, and said happily: "That's right, this is the sensible Xiaobi." ”
Caressed and touched Biersfei's head, Zhao Yan let go of her, stood up, and said, "Okay, you rest early, tonight's sleep is very important, and I will go to sleep too." ”
"Good!"
While turning around, Zhao Yan was slightly stunned, his eyes were fixed on the stone wall next to the cloth curtain, and when he looked closely, a broken surface of a rock appeared on the stone wall, and for a while, Zhao Yan couldn't figure out what it was. It's like a hidden hole, and it's like someone has hit it head-on.
Bilsfeld said in the back, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
Zhao Yan felt curious, but he wanted to figure out what it was, but unfortunately he didn't have much time, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, then I'll go to sleep first." ”
