Chapter 171: Blood Axe
Francis and the other two were assigned together, and the civilian staff at the reception looked at them with even more sympathy - even in the most rapid period of attrition, the number of new members of the Lion's Tooth Battalion should be apportioned, and if they were all gathered together, it would only mean that the Lion's Tooth Battalion had been attritionally so severe that it was able to admit half of the new recruits proportionately.
It could only be that man's lion's tooth camp.
The roads, along with the ease of access, played a role at all times, and military vehicles took Francis and the others directly to their destination.
This time it took almost two days, and it was nearly dusk when we arrived.
The humidity in the air was getting louder and louder, and the unsettling heat combined with the silence of the escorts was like a large invisible hand, choking Francis's throat and giving him a feeling of suffocation, and at the same time, accompanied by the psychedelic stimulation of the lack of oxygen, made the nerves in his temples beat violently, and he had to reach out and unbutton the top two buttons of his clothes.
At the moment, they were still wearing prison uniforms and shirts, and they were wrapped in tattered black cotton jackets. Originally, the cold of early spring made it a little difficult for them to resist, so they had to circulate their source power to keep warm, which was also a way to drain the physical strength of the exiled prisoners, and the hot and humid environment at the moment made their outfit a little uncomfortable.
The leader of the escort team saw that there were already fine beads of sweat on the reddened cheeks of Francis and the others, sighed, took out the key to untie their handcuffs and leg irons, so that they could easily organize their clothes, and took out a few sets of old clothes suitable for the environment here from somewhere to change them into.
"From now on, everyone will be comrades on the glorious front, and according to the rules, when you are about to approach your destination, you are not prisoners, but soldiers who are about to join the battle. Regardless of what you have done before, I hope you can regain your identity and serve the dynasty. ”
"Also, even though you're all untied, don't even think about running away. No one knows this forest better than we do, and no one can escape the round-up of outposts on all sides. That's all it takes, it's extra good to do it yourself. ”
Although this person's statement was a little official, the kindness in it warmed everyone's hearts, and the previous act of distributing civilian clothes to everyone made Francis and the others not resist, and nodded in agreement.
In fact, Francis has just stepped into the fourth order, and the other two are a fifth order and a third order, and in the face of five elite weapons who agree to the fourth order and are armed with shotguns, they will not use their bodies to verify the opponent's marksmanship.
Among the three, the third-order soldier looked quite shrewd but did not have the face of a good person, typical sharp-beaked monkey gills, and the most striking thing was his pair of eyes that kept rolling around, making people want to pick them out.
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir," he leaned in with a smile on his face, trying to get close, "what did you do? ”
The escort captain pursed his lips, shook the muzzle of the shotgun, and made a thumping sound with the iron carriage, signaling him to sit back in his original position, and then said: "You kid doesn't look like a good person, don't think about it here." First of all, I belong to the same department as you, not your chief. According to the rules of the glorious front, no matter how big or small the official position is, no one can exceed the authority of the command, and it is not okay to call me Your Excellency. ”
"Yes, sir, that ......"
"Don't ask more, it's the people in the nearby settlements, the wilderness beasts rioted, and the people in the town died before I came to serve as a soldier. ...... to watch out for The rules of your lion's tooth battalion are naturally set by your commander, and as long as you don't violate military regulations, your commander has a lot of autonomy. If I'm not mistaken, there should be seven lion's tooth battalions in your division, and your third lion's tooth battalion ......"
"What do you say?" Seeing that the escort captain had deliberately stopped, the sharp-beaked monkey-gilled man took out two coppers from his pocket and stuffed them into the escort captain's hand.
"Money is very useful in the City of Six Davids, and you will find it in the future, and don't let go of the opportunity to save and make money, so this is my advice to you. Actually, it's nothing, you go to Camp No. 3, and you can't tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing. ”
"Oh?" Francis was also interested.
"You know the nature of the Lion's Tooth Battalion, and in it, the No. 3 Lion's Tooth Battalion has the highest casualty rate in recent years, and it is also the most accumulated military merit, because they are at the forefront of the expansion line almost all year round, except for fixed vacations, and they are always ready to fight the ferocious beast alien race. Speaking of which, the escort captain also brought a bit of respect. If you have strength, you will win respect, which is an eternal truth.
"Is there anything else idle in the Liontooth Camp?" the sharp-beaked monkey-gills keenly caught the flashing information in his words.
"No. 2 and No. 7, the two lion's tooth battalions ran faster than rabbits in battle, and there was no attrition in the whole year last year, which can be regarded as a miracle since the founding of the army, and it is not as brave as a regular battalion. The escort captain pursed his lips, revealing a hint of disdain, "Eh, don't interrupt me, where did I say just now?"
"Fight all year round. Francis reminded quietly.
"Oh yes. Don't worry too much, Mad Dog, that is, your commander, although a little ruthless and a little neurotic, but he is a person of great affection, "Not to mention that after retreating before the charge, at least you can advance and retreat with ordinary soldiers, and you will not be sent to death, and those who die are not capable of doing it themselves." In addition, he is very capable of fighting, very capable of fighting, he is one of the best figures among the sixth-order transferees I know, and he has also been personally praised by the division commander. ”
"Can you tell us more about him? ”
"We all called him Mad Dog, it didn't matter what the code name was before, now the official code name is 'Blood Axe'. ”
"He's got a great axe?"
"He's more of an Assassin...... With an ax and with a knife, and he gives the opponent the feeling ...... It's sharp, and it's heavy, like an axe. Eh, I've told you not to interrupt me, do you want to hear it?It is said that he was once a nobleman, and he came because he offended ......"
At this moment, the car stopped with a shaking, and the destination arrived.
