At the base of the Lin'an Division of the Wilderness Expeditionary Force, Xing Tian was sitting paralyzed in front of the projector, looking at the front with vacant eyes.

On the strategic map, the two elite forces of the Cold Kite pincer offensive have completely disappeared and disappeared forever, and the remaining auxiliary troops in the forward department have collapsed and fled in a hurry.

The rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Republic has not yet been completely stabilized, and in order to meet the rout of the front line, the command headquarters sent 14 regiment-level combat units to respond under the urgent instruction of Leng Kite, which were stuck in strategic routes.

But the counterattack of the northern rebels was too fierce, as if they had used all the breath they had held before, knocking out the defense line of the Northern Expeditionary Army one after another, as if opening a bloody huge mouth, wanting to swallow Leng Kite's troops into their stomachs.

How the situation will develop next, no one knows, Leng Kite quickly ascended to the altar in the months of the Northern Expedition, but was defeated overnight, which made the entire Republic of Glory restless.

Of course, this seems to be a little distant for the wilderness expeditionary force of the Lin'an Military Region, because a more serious problem is facing them.

A soldier of the expeditionary force stood behind Xingtian, who was paralyzed, and said in a low voice: "Xingtian, it's time to go, Lin'an is about to be blocked, and we have to move in before dark." ”

Xing Tian stared at the screen, shook his head in disbelief, and said with empty eyes: "Old cat... It's just gone? And the nineteen brethren... It's just gone?? ”

The soldiers of the expeditionary force clenched their fists, and their voices trembled: "You have also read the report... All of them are gone, and none of them are alive..."

"Lao Tzu doesn't believe in !!" Xing Tian grabbed his hair angrily and yelled hysterically, "Don't believe it! Old cat, bastard, said he would come back alive! Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he will break his word! Unbelief!! ”

Xing Tian cried as he spoke, crying hoarsely, like a bereaved child, and the sound of crying soon infected the other soldiers.

Which of the veterans in this base was not brought out by the old cat himself? And who hasn't been saved by an old cat? Everyone is a lifelong friend with the old cat, there are too many favors that have not been returned, too many men have not spoken, and the whole base is waiting for him to continue to lead the way, but this guy is so irresponsible to leave?

Although everyone didn't believe it, it was the case, the old cat said that the Northern Expedition would be a big victory, but no. The old cat said that he would come back alive, but he didn't.

This person just disappeared, along with the hot-blooded youth who had contributed to the country for 20 years, disappeared forever and became a cold number, he may live in the memories of his comrades-in-arms, but decades later, when his comrades-in-arms gradually withered, no one will mention him again, whether it is this world or this country, no one will remember him anymore.

With the support of his comrades-in-arms, Xingtian, who cried until his legs were weak, was taken out of the base and entered Lin'an City with the large army.

Due to the crushing defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Generalissimo of the Republic issued an urgent order, including a series of wartime controls, the most influential of which were curfews and the regulation of the wilderness expeditionary force.

The curfew is self-evident, once it falls into the night, there will be a sound of alarm throughout the city, except for the officially designated patrol soldiers, the rest of the people are not allowed to go out, and the city is also temporarily blocked, not allowed to leave the city, and no outsiders are allowed to enter, to prevent the infiltration of hostile forces.

The Wilderness Expeditionary Force also suspended all wilderness missions, and temporarily left the undersupplied base and retreated to its subordinate cities.

The greatest impact of this kind of wartime regulation is naturally the urban civilians, many of whom are not comfortable for a while, inadvertently violate the curfew, and all are detained and interrogated in accordance with the wartime laws.

On the other hand, although the private grain trade in the city has been temporarily banned and rationing is adopted, some vendors in other industries have not been affected.

It's almost night, and the vendors are packing up and preparing to go home and close their homes.

Luo Wei, sheep bleating, Mo Qian and the three of them were walking on the street at this time, just finished purchasing things and were about to send them back to the temporary settlement site of the expeditionary force.

On the way, seeing the small traders walking in a hurry, Mo Qian sighed with emotion: "Hey, my family is also from such a small citizen's background, I don't know how my parents are doing, I really want to go back to see them." ”

"Baa, are your parents okay?" Mo Qian asked coldly.

The sheep's eyes trembled, as if there was some impact in his heart, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, lowered his head and said faintly: "It's all gone..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."Mo Qian quickly touched his head and changed the topic, "Luo Wei, what about you?" ”

Luo Wei glanced at him: "It's all dead." ”

Mo Qian shrank his head and secretly scolded himself for being such a crow's mouth, asking one to die, and never asking about it again in the future.

On the streets, because it was about to fall at night, everyone was rushing home, and the guards were passing through, so the order was a little congested, no, the two officers who were talking knocked down an old lady, this old lady was a handicraft merchant, this collision, the things in his arms spilled on the ground, and smashed a lot.

However, the two officers didn't even glance at it, it felt like they had stepped on an ant, and they didn't care at all, and walked directly over the handmade ornaments that had fallen, and some of the ornaments that were still intact were broken a lot.

"Hey! Don't apologize for hitting someone?! Mo Qian hurriedly went over to help the old lady up, and in anger, he grabbed a broken handmade ornament on the ground and smashed it into an officer's head, "You are also worthy of being called a soldier?!" ”

I saw that the tall officer didn't turn his head, but just grabbed the thing that Mo Qian threw in the air, he turned his head, looked at Mo Qian's epaulettes, and teased: "Private, the discipline of the recruit camp doesn't seem to teach you well?" ”

The tall officer was a man with a long beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips and a large smoking gun, and he lavishly smoked high-grade tobacco that the common people did not dare to enjoy, and looked somewhat like a stout orangutan in appearance and silhouette.

"Giant ape, you still can't get along with the privates? It's so ungraceful. Beside him, the slender officer turned around, this man was a little amazingly handsome, his skin was as pale as snowflakes, even his lips were revealing a rich blood color, and two fangs loomed in his mouth.

What's more, the officer deliberately transformed his military uniform into a medieval aristocratic style, which, combined with his handsome appearance, really looked like a vampire from a castle.

"Hahaha, Rad, the old man in Chang'an said that he would lock the city and not let him go to the wilderness, don't you feel bored?" The man known as the Great Ape exhaled a large smoke ring and smiled roughly.

While the two were talking and laughing, when Mo Qian saw the rank of "colonel" on their epaulettes, his heart suddenly cooled.
