"Say, who the hell sent you?!"

With a frown, Gastens stood in front of the bodies of Rubeck and Tomiva and watched as Ivan Warren personally interrogated the dozen wounded soldiers left behind by the attackers. The wounded soldiers were wounded in the first charge, but not dead, and were captured by reinforcements who then arrived on the scene, becoming Elena's last clue about the surprise attack.

"We weren't sent by anyone, we just heard that there was food and money here, and we wanted to come and grab some and bring it back."

It is the umpteenth time that the same answer has been given to the lesser of the wounded soldiers. Their tone was not tight, they only asked a few questions, and without even executing, they confided everything they knew. Their eldest was Everett Cambrie, who had been a deputy commander of the 2nd Division of the 4th Army, and because he felt that the enemy was too strong and had too many casualties in the battle, he fled with his own men, a whole regiment of soldiers. On the way to escape, these soldiers died and scattered, and many escaped death squad serfs were collected, Everett changed his name to Everett Warren in order to hide people's eyes, and most of the people around him also changed their surnames to represent serfs, so as not to be discovered by others.

“…… These men usually operate in the province of Ensten, which has organized two sieges and suppressions, but without success, and now they are entrenched on a hill outside the city of Sturm, and they occupy the mountain. As soon as there is any trouble, leave Stum and come back when the wind has passed. They're now called the Routers, but they're bandits who have done a lot of bad things in Sturm. ”

Sink Warren stood beside Gastens and introduced the information he had gathered. Ivan asked a few more key questions in front of Gastens before he stopped and waited for Gastens' order.

"I see", Gastens nodded, a fire burning in his heart. Elena drove out all the large landowners, and the main inhabitants were peasants and soldiers. This information is basically known throughout the province of Ensten. But these routs said that they were coming to rob, and he was the first to not believe it. There must be someone behind this, and it's Elena. Think of the meeting that Azadze reported on at Van Ensten. Gastens had a vague sense that someone was trying to upend his career.

"Head, these people ask if they can join us, what should we do?" , Ivan stepped forward and asked in a low voice. The soldiers also seemed to know that Gastens was the leader, and looked at him secretly.

"They killed my people and want to join us?" , Gastens sneered, "Kill them all, and hang their heads at the crossing to show the public!" ”

"Don't, sir!"

"We're also forced, my lord!"

"We are also serfs, and we are also a family!"

The soldiers, hearing Gastens' order, shouted in a group. But no matter how much they shouted, the people present had no intention of sparing them. Tomiva and Rubeck, though they were just two ordinary soldiers, represented the faces of Gastens and Elena. If you dare to kill them, you must have the consciousness of being killed.

"You can't just leave this matter at that, right?" On the way back, Ivan, Zinke and a group of company commanders followed Gastens, and the atmosphere was depressing. The grumpy Ivan was the first to stand up, "Head, you give me an order, and I'll take someone to destroy his Everett hometown!" ”

"Not now", Gastens already had a faint feeling, "Now that Elena needs the team, the production team can't move for the time being." I'm afraid that they still have a backhand, and during this time you should be on guard, strengthen the defense, and mobilize a regiment of militia to assist, and you will definitely not give our enemy any chance. ”

"So that's it?" , Zink also chimed in, "What if that Everett runs away, or is killed by someone else, and we suffer this breath in vain?" ”

"Yes, Tomiva and Rubeck are my men!" , Caleb Warren's eyes were red, "If you don't want to start the production group, at least give me the fifth company, and I can take the fifth company with me, and I can also get justice for my brother!" ”

"Alright, I've already thought about it," said Gastens, who was so excited that he changed his mind about what he would say at the council in the evening, "this must be done, and Everett must be killed, and he must not be dragged in the mud and water, but he must be killed cleanly." There should not be too many people going, lest someone in the province should be found to stop them. What do you think of this, I want Berlanchel and his Sharp Knife Company to do it? ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Berranch, who was also beside Gastens, was the first to raise his hand before everyone spoke out. The Thundering Rifle and the Rocksan Machine Gun supplied by Gastens to his Sharp Knife Company had completely and completely shattered Berlanchel's perception and impression of the war. Even the soldiers with the sharp knives under his command couldn't let go of these new weapons, and they couldn't wait to sleep with them every day. Sharp Knife Company usually chats, and the most talked about is when he can fight and show his skills. But looking at the meaning of the leader, it seems that there is no intention of raising the rod in a short time, and everyone can only vent their desire to fight in ordinary training. Now, suddenly with such an opportunity, Berranchell was so happy that he wanted to jump up, but considering that he had just killed two soldiers, he was not too excited, so he reluctantly suppressed his emotions.

"But, head, it's our brother of the Fifth Company who died!"

Caleb Warren is gone, his own brother is dead, and he has to ask someone else to help him get revenge, how can this work?

"Even the brother of your fifth company, but also the brother of our entire production group", Zink still has a clear grasp of this, "Berlanch's sharp knife company is very powerful, let them go, that's right." ”

"Well, Brother Calaiber, you just let me go, I promise to kill none of those rabbit cubs!"

Berrancier is still fighting. After such a long time of training, the soldiers have long been tired of the confrontation between straw men and their companions, their weapons thirst for blood, and they themselves are thirsty for battle.

"That'...... Well......"

Calaiber looked at Gastens and knew that the matter should have been decided. He looked directly at Bellanchier.

"You're going to kill them!"

"That must!"

————————————

Everett Warren was trying to run away.

The firefight three days ago made him realize for the first time that the other party was not easy to mess with. The kind of well-trained platoon guns and soldiers is definitely not something that the rabble under his command can fight against. Although some brothers died, few people shouted for revenge, and everyone quickly focused their attention on where they were going next, and the discussion was lively.

The hill outside Stum, where Everett was stationed, had no name. The locals call this mountain Chengdong Mountain, and the mountain is as its name suggests, east of the city. The mountain was not steep, and there was nothing to defend against danger, and the reason why Everett had not been exterminated was simply because he saw that the wind made the rudder run fast, and at the slightest disturbance, he fled with his brothers, and came back when the wind had passed. Many of these routs are locals, and if they flee, they will flee, and it is not easy to find.

This time, Everett still intends to run away. The reason he ran away was not because he was afraid of Elena's retaliation. Elena is not a local force, and the big man who entrusted him even hopes that he can find something for Elena. Now, that place may not have the spare strength to protect itself, and there should be no time to retaliate against its own stronghold. The main reason why he wanted to run away was that he failed to do the big man's job well, and he was worried about the revenge from the big man.

"Head, should we leave the province of Ensten?" Glenn Warren was also aware of Everett's concerns, "If that lord is dissatisfied with us, I guess Enspen Province will not be able to stay any longer." ”

"He said it lightly, saying that Elena is just a rabble, and it turns out that the fuck is more regular than the regular army, so how can Lao Tzu fight? People are dead, and Lao Tzu's free days are over! ”

Everett scolded and didn't delay in getting down to business, "We'll leave tomorrow, leave Ensten Province and go to Gad Province!" ”

"Good!" Glenn Warren nodded, "We're leaving, those things we saved to eat—"

"It's not easy to bring, take them all out and eat and drink, let the brothers relax!"

Everett is a man who has passed today and has no tomorrow, so he gave his brothers a holiday. As for himself, he also began to pack his things. He's done this kind of thing too many times, and he's very familiar with it.

In the evening, Everett's men lit a bonfire on the hill and began to eat and drink. They had robbed a caravan before, and had stored a lot of good wine, and everyone was a little dizzy from drinking. And it was at this time that Berranch's fifth company attacked.

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"

The sound of the Cylinder Repeater Rifle Thundering was distinctive, and it stunned Everett, who had heard this kind of gunfire for the first time. At first, he couldn't even tell if it was gunshot. However, the screams coming from the edge of the field quickly helped him confirm a fact.

It was the enemy who attacked, there were guns.

"Fuck me, boys!"

Everett turned around and grabbed the long knife beside him and jumped deep. The place he had chosen for his meal was surrounded by rugged terrain and lush woods, and it was impossible to form a gun formation. The kind of steam rifle that takes a long time to reload a shot is definitely not as good as a scimitar and a long knife in this environment. He and his men repelled several encirclements and suppressions by local officers and soldiers with long knives, and easily won the victory.

Therefore, when Everett jumped up with his long knife, he was actually full of confidence in his brothers, and he believed that this time, as he had done the previous times, he would be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage to repel the enemy's attack.

But once again, he was surprised by the facts. The enemy's gunfire barely stopped, dense and continuous. That density of gunfire sounded as if an entire division had spread out around the camp, lined up to shoot. But in fact, this is simply impossible, how can this hill accommodate a division? ?

The gunfire continued, and the routs who had fought back with Everett with their knives fell faster than they could jump. Everett was also shot, his right arm hurt so badly that he fell to the ground, and by the time he got up again, there were only sporadic gunshots left in the entire camp.

More than 300 brothers, in this less than five minutes of firefighting, were killed and wounded, and completely lost the ability to fight back.

"What the fuck is here! Report the name, Lao Tzu will die and understand! ”

Everett shouted angrily, but he was thinking in his heart about how he could escape. If these people are for money, then he has saved some good things in the past few months as a rogue, and he should be able to buy his own life. If the other party is for revenge, he has been a rogue for a short time, but he has harmed many people, and it is difficult to say which enemy is coming.

A group of people stepped out of the shadows, each carrying a peculiarly shaped, elaborate-looking steam backpack and a steam rifle that Everett had never seen before. The rifle was different from the Type 27, which was basically a barrel with a butt, with a downward metal strip at the front, and Everett didn't know what it was. He judged that the person who came must be the elite sent by the big man.

"My lord, my lord, it's not that the little ones don't work, it's really that Elena's gang is too good to fight, and the small ones can't beat them", Everett felt that he had guessed the identity of the person who came, and immediately began to beg for mercy, "We charged once, and more than a hundred brothers died, and we didn't even touch the enemy's hair, my lord, please don't rush to kill them all, I really tried my best!" ”

"Oh, sir?" , the person who came took another step forward. He was wearing a gray military uniform, his face was dark, and his eyes were bright, "Who is the adult who asked you to beat us?" ”

Hearing this, Everett was struck by lightning. Only then did he realize that the enemies in front of him, who were fighting like nothing and wielding weapons beyond imagination, were actually from the organization of serfs that he had always looked down on, the Elena Factory.

“…… Be...... I ......", Everett rolled his eyes, and he still couldn't say the answer. If the other party came for this answer, then if he said it, he would definitely die.

"I can't remember the adults all of a sudden, and please ask the adults to bypass the small dog's life, the small ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and they offended the adults, and please forgive the adults!"

Everett begged for mercy harder, but Bellanchier didn't bother to pay attention to him, he looked around, the battle just now had worked well, and the enemies gathered around the campfire were almost half dead under their dense fire beyond the comprehension of this era, and most of the rest were wounded, lying on the ground, groaning.

"Kill them all, take them away."

Bellancier did not have time for an interrogation on the spot, so he gave the order. Wiped out all the defeated soldiers present, took the valuable items looted and Everett himself, and began to return to Elena. He believed that both Lord Gastens and the Calaiber brothers must have had a very strong interest in this scumbag. As for what that interest will bring to Everett, that's not something for Berranchre to decide.

Of course, he's happy to see it happen.
