As the last of the Plaguebringer was ignited by a silver bullet through his head, Suder pulled the bolt and threw the shell out, and after helping the bolt back into place, the young man jumped up and sat down on the foxhole, and the soldiers in this section of the trench crawled out, wearing masks of the epidemic and holding low-order holy water in their mouths, and began to give all the Chaos Men who still had a breath of air, and they would deal with the believers, and the Chaos units that were piercing the stomach would be directly ignited by the dwarven Pyro who sprayed the Holy Oil Flamer.

"Good shots, young man." A military judge came over, he looked at Suder and smiled, and at the same time took out a cigarette case from his pocket: "I have been following you for a while, every shot you take down your enemy, bullets are one thing, you also have a very comprehensive grasp of the enemy's weaknesses, worthy of that child, do you want a cigarette." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, my mentor His Excellency Marin has said that if you don't have enough physique, it's best not to smoke, because smoke can blind your eyes and hurt your lungs, and this is everything that a marksman must have, and it should not be harmed."

"Very novel to speak, thank you for the reminder, I will pick out the smoking and non-smoking groups from our marksmen to compare." The young military judge nodded and held out his hand, "Link Svensson, thank you for the reminder. ”

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Suder Walding." Suder crawled out of the foxhole with his strength.

"This time, Your Excellency Marin is fighting on our eastern front, where a large Chaos force has appeared, and he has placed you young people here, and Your Excellency and I are familiar with each other." The military judge said this, and his tone changed: "I don't mean to take care of you, after all, in my opinion, if the defense line is breached, you should live longer than me." ”

"Your Excellency, please don't say, we won't retreat until we have to." Suder said with some embarrassment.

Before leaving, His Excellency Marin gave Suder and the more than ten young men an order to retreat freely, and also communicated with the local commander, who also confirmed that they had a free retreat order after seeing Suder's archery skills - the soldiers who could hit the head of the target five hundred yards away were already sharpshooters among the marksmen, and the military of the Northland Kingdom would transfer this kind of soldiers to the rear to train new people.

So there's nothing to complain about letting them retreat, you can't let the future marksman instructor die in such a hellish place.

"I'm not jealous of anything, Suder, people are different, I am a nobleman and a military judge, my mission is to be on the front line of battle, and you are marksmen, you should not be lost here." His Excellency the military judge smiled and waved his hand, and he lit a cigarette for himself: "Speaking of which, the strength of the Chaos army is increasing, thanks to the support of His Excellency Marin, the new guns and cannons have greatly armed us, otherwise according to my grandfather, he should have lost at least one of me and my brother at this time." ”

Suder was a little silent - indeed, his father had told him about the horrors of Chaos, and the story of the Tide of Death was a nightmare for Suder when he was young, the last time the Tide of Death began, the Northern Kingdom didn't even have enough front-loading guns, but fortunately, that time it was a subordinate unit of an evil god who pursued the ultimate senses, and the sword could not be said to be useless, if it was the Nurgle Legion this time, the Northern Kingdom would not be able to resist their invasion at all.

But even so, humanity still paid a heavy price, just like the young military judge of the Svensson family said, it is not news that a family has died a generation of young people, but it is news that several young people in a generation can survive - because this means that young people have enough strength in recent years, and for other families, it is time to wholesale the young girls of their own family.

Don't laugh, at the end of the dying season, the ratio of young unmarried men to women is usually around 1:20.

In some areas that have experienced bloody battles, one to thirty is pitiful, so if you can't marry the girls out quickly and in time, you will only become a unsalable product that no one cares about, and you will go to the end of your life alone with a body of resentment.

So during this period, it was not news that the daughters of nobles were married to the children of commoners, and it was a crime for a powerful being like His Excellency Marin not to accept hundreds of noble daughters. In this way, almost a hundred years later, when the difference in numbers between men and women had almost equalized, a new invasion began.

"This invasion is ahead of schedule." Suder pulled out a piece of candy and put it in his mouth.

"But our equipment has also been updated, this section of the defense line you are in, from yesterday to today, more than 200 people have been killed, which does not exist in historical records at all, after such a high-intensity battle, adding a zero to the death number is a cover-up." Link Svensson said with a smile: "This is probably what His Excellency Marlin said that times have changed, my grandfather thought the military was lying when he first saw the battle report, until he saw that none of our more than 20 grandchildren had died in battle for so many days, and then he gradually believed the war report sent to him by the military." ”

"Because the dead don't lie." Suder's sentence is a slang term in the north, which means very straightforward, but because it is better than being straightforward, it is popular.

His words made Link smile and nod his head: "Yes, that's right, my grandfather said the same thing, he said that none of our children died, and the battle report is probably true." ”

"What are you talking about, young boys?" His Excellency the Commander came over: "There are only seven wounded in this battle, and I can't even believe that we are facing chaos, but listening to the dense gunfire in the east, our enemies should have passed." ”

"So, Your Excellency, do you need me to bring a team of people over to support you?" Link Svensson asked.

"Want to be in the limelight?" The big bald head glanced at Link, and just when Suder thought that the military judge was not going to be scolded, the commander laughed: "Really, it reminds me of when I was young, and I also wanted to grab the battle merit in this way, but at that time we were at war with the living corpses and those barbarians in the north, Svensson boy, if you want to go, take your private army and my two companies over to have a look, if the battle is okay, let my people come back." ”

"No problem, Your Excellency! Can I take him with me? Link Svensson was overjoyed, and then made a new request.

Suder felt that this guy was really too bold, wasn't he afraid that His Excellency the Commander would be angry and curse?

"He is a soldier of His Excellency Marin, if you take him back, you will be responsible for his safety, if something happens, I believe that Your Excellency Marlin will definitely skin you." The commander did not seem to refuse, so His Excellency returned to his section of the line with joy, and gathered together more than two hundred of his private men, when two companies from the commander's side also came.

Suder put Carter in charge of leading the team, and then brought his Rhodes cousin.

………………

It is said to go east, in fact, the defense line here has already been completely built, Suder took Rhodes, and Link walked in the front, this section of the communication trench was buried underground, originally used as a hiding cave, which was able to allow soldiers to have a place not to be frozen to death in the coldest night of winter.

Now that the place was full of wounded soldiers, and it seemed that the fighting on the east side was extremely fierce, and after hearing of the reinforcements from the defensive line near their force of more than 500 men, the gendarmes in charge of maintaining order gave way to the way.

"Lieutenant Colonel Link, you're the first fool to go through here in reverse this week." As Link passed, there were gendarmes smiling and saluting him.

Link also replied: "Then you will see more than five hundred stupid people next." He replied with a smile.

The whole passage was filled with the laughter of the soldiers, even the wounded soldiers, and some of the wounded soldiers threw their flasks to the soldiers: "Take a sip to warm up, and leave me a little." ”

"Why are the wounded soldiers smiling so happily?" Rhodes asked with some confusion as he followed his cousin down the aisle.

"Because the wounded soldiers see a lot of wounded soldiers like him, in the battle against Chaos, the more wounded soldiers in the hospital, the more favorable the battle situation is for us, otherwise you would not have seen so many wounded soldiers." After Suder finished speaking, he untied the flask on his waist and took a small sip.

“…… You have a good point, if we fail, there will be no wounded soldiers. Rhodes turned his head and glanced at the passage: "All this...... It's thanks to Lord Marin. ”

"Yes, may Lord Marin live a long life!" One of the soldiers who followed them said.

"That's right! May Lord Marin live a long life! More soldiers said excitedly, and another soldier from a military company said: "I don't know if you have noticed, but I found that there are not many wood chips in the bread today, and one of the three slices of bread is actually whole wheat." ”

"Damn, you are one of the seven lucky ones that the cook said, good luck boy!" His company commander smiled and patted the young soldier on the head.

"Did you hear about what happened a few days ago, several guys in the logistics department were dragged away to shoot targets, those guys deserve today, go to hell and eat sand." Another soldier said this, and as he was well informed, Rhodes grinned - yes, it is said that it was His Excellency Marin who intervened in the logistics of the soldiers, and he personally took several marshals to eat a meal of field rations for front-line soldiers, as a result of which Marshal Konstantin was broken half of his teeth by a fine stone containing bread.

Then everyone in the logistics department poured blood mold.

"Soldiers, thank your Excellency Marin, otherwise you would have eaten only fine stones with bread every day." Lord Link seemed to speak with a bit of a yin and yang style, but Rhodes thought that this guy was good, and the soldiers were also people, and they were not consumables.

"I think it's the logistics department still using the same methods as the last wave to deal with this one." However, his cousin Suder had a new statement, because Sudel spoke with reason and evidence, not to mention Rhodes, his cousin, even His Excellency Judge Link and many other people were listening to him.

"What do you mean, young man?" The company commander asked.

"According to my understanding, during the last outbreak, the average survival time of grassroots soldiers was five days, and the grassroots officers had two more days, and now it is Nurgle's war gang that is invading, I think the logistics masters have miscalculated our survival time, so they are comfortable giving this garbage to us as food, after all, the dead will not lie, let alone complain." Cousin Sudel's statement was immediately affirmed by Lord Link: "That's right, they even made a judgment on my life cycle, and after I came to the front line, they actually mixed a lot of wood chips in my bread. ”

"Your Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel is like this, no wonder we ate sand with bread the other day." A soldier sighed.

"Thanks to His Excellency Marin, for helping us and prolonging our lives." Lord Link's lieutenant finally said a word at this time.

The soldiers said that if it weren't for Lord Marin, they would have eaten stones.

The team was filled with a joyful and self-deprecating atmosphere, and even the sentries along the way were a little surprised, and soon they accepted the bread handed by the logistics company carrying a lot of food.

"Your bread is good today." The sentinels expressed the same opinion.

This made Rhodes a little curious, and he looked at his cousin: "I heard that the price of flour in Copenhagen is about to skyrocket, how did our logistics department get this amount of flour." ”

"You didn't hear about it yesterday? Ah, I forgot, you were in the toilet yesterday when I mentioned this, it was provided by His Excellency Marin, it was said to be hundreds of tons, and I don't know where he got it, maybe the south? Cousin Suder replied.

"Hundreds of tons?! Haven't the hoarding profiteers hanged their families yet? Rhodes shouted with some surprise.

His words attracted the attention of many people, and Suder reached out and patted the back of Rhodes's head: "Why do you care so much." ”

Rhodes was also scared for a while - after all, he was a sympathizer of Northernism, and the word hoarder was the favorite use of Northernists, who didn't seem to be very popular with the military, not to mention that the Svensson family, where Lord Link belonged, was a big nobleman.

However, Rhodes seemed to be overly concerned, and saw Lord Link smile: "Although I do not approve of the cowardly behavior of committing suicide if you can't get by, I would say that the profiteers really deserve it, and they always say that poor people who can't afford to buy flour or even potatoes can starve to death, so I think they can find a rope to solve each other's problems when they can't get by." ”

The nobles all said this, and the soldiers immediately echoed it, and the company commander even talked nonsense that his wife and daughter could be taken care of.

Rhodes glanced at his cousin, and Suder shook his head.

And as the dense gunfire grew louder and louder, walking around the corner of the trench, at the very top of the trench descending down the slope, Rhodes saw the battle line in the distance.

"Even the giant corpses have been dispatched, and the Chaos Wargang is attacking in a big way." Lord Link recognized the giant corpse approaching more and more slowly in the distance.

In Rhodes's eyes, those huge corpses were all swollen violently, and even those organs exposed in his abdomen were hundreds of yards apart, and he could feel how terrifying the epidemic and corruption were in them.

"How are we going to fight this?" Rhodes, who was an apprentice but had never seen such a thing in battle or in books, asked.

As he questioned, a purple ray shot out from the front line, and as it struck one of the largest walking corpses, the corpse finally disintegrated completely under everyone's gaze.

"That's it?" Rhodes looked at his cousin.

"Yes, that's it." Suder replied as a matter of course.
