Section 86 The Law of March
At Sandru's request again, Mark relayed his wishes to the princess.
After all, Sandru is the gatekeeper, and the function of transferring affairs is within Laurenna's power.
"You can just call the shots for such small things, and you don't have to ask for advice on everything. I have the final say in the small things, and you are the one who comes to the big things. ”
Laurenna was like a bird, snuggling up to Mark's body, looking shy, and said.
Suddenly, I felt that the temperament of the barbaric princess had changed greatly, and her temperament was strange, which became more and more difficult to understand.
"Someone! Find a seat for the elderly. ”
Tucker brought in a giant rat and placed Sandru with him.
"Hey! What's your name? ”
Laurena greeted Zora warmly.
"Zola. Your Highness! ”
"Very well, you and I will be with you from today onwards."
"This ......," Zola hesitated.
Seeing that Mark had no objections, Zola turned his worries into joy: "Glad to serve, Your Highness!" ”
For the enthusiasm of the princess, Zora was flattered.
Perhaps because they are both women, Laurena and Zola are unusually close along the way, just like Leia and Catherine, they hit it off at first sight.
Follow Sandru's guidance and head all the way to the so-called "Graveyard of the Dead".
As he was about to cross the fortress, the door was opened to greet his old acquaintance, Valen.
Mark ...... Wang Qiang Brothers...... It's such a pleasure to see you guys. "Valen's enthusiasm is undiminished.
He hugged Valen deeply, patted each other on the shoulder and said, "Before I have time to thank you, I will set off again." ”
"You're welcome? The sniper battle was well fought. Oh, by the way, where are you going? Valen asked in a whisper.
"On the orders of the princess, go to find Prince Philip." Mark told the truth.
"This ......" Seeing Laurenna step out of the procession, Valen let go of Mark and bowed deeply to her with a knightly salute.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't come unharmed?"
"Less flamboyant, hand over all your people!" Laurenna was simply unreasonable.
Valen smiled all over his face and said, "Even if there is no order, even if it is the king's order, it will be difficult to obey it. Why don't you go in with me, drink a glass of wine, and wash off the dust? ”
The people followed Valen and entered the fortress.
After the hospitality, Valen said: "Now that the army is tight and the situation is difficult, it is really difficult for me to transfer manpower. So then, I will allocate you a thousand men. If you have more, you might as well kill me. ”
"Alas!" Mark sighed, knowing that Valen was stretched thin.
"Don't worry, I won't take you a single soldier, but send you fifty people. How is it? ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Valen was amazed.
"Hey, hey! Help get some laser gun weapons. Mark's expression was no less than that of a profiteer.
For such a request, Valen smiled evilly: "If others ask for it, it will definitely not be." And since you open your mouth, Major, even if I don't, I'll make a few handfuls and give them to you. ”
"Good! Joyfully. Mark slapped his thigh.
"Tucker! Send someone to follow and fetch your weapons. ”
"Yes." Tucker was so angry that he couldn't bear half a minute.
"I'll go too!" Wang Qiang volunteered to lead the team in person.
"Alright. Now that the matter has been done for you, tell me why you don't want a thousand, but give me fifty? Valen looked curious.
Mark smiled mysteriously and took a sip of the spirits.
The liquor burned his throat, and Mark sighed and said, "Soldiers are not expensive, they are expensive." It will not be brave, but plotting. There are more people and more advantages, and fewer people have fewer benefits.
Take care of Laurenna's Fifty Guard, they are all women, and I don't want to see women shed their blood and die. ”
After speaking, his eyes were slightly red.
"Understood!" Valen gulped a sip of spirit, got up and patted Mark on the shoulder.
Time did not allow for people to linger too much in Valen.
Equipped with the laser weapons provided by Valen, the princess guard was reduced to fifty people, and the total number was controlled to less than a hundred.
Others do not agree with such a deletion, especially Laurenna.
Mark replied with a smile: "The number of people is really the key to victory, and at the same time, it is also restricting our actions.
Perhaps we are small in number and may be surrounded and annihilated.
At the same time, because of the small number of people, the mechanical corps did not pay attention to the small number of people.
For this reason, there are fewer benefits and more difficulties.
We are not carrying out a head-on confrontation with the mechanical corps, and the large number of them is causing inconvenience. ”
In this way, the crowd was silent.
In fact, I also want to minimize the losses in my heart, I don't want Laurenna's women's guards to fight against the mechanical legion, try to avoid head-on conflicts to reduce casualties, and I don't want the team I pulled out to be extinct because of this.
After leaving the fortress, according to the agreement, there must be scouts on the way forward.
In order to maintain the stamina of the Giant Rat, each scout needs to wear two Giant Rats in order to transfer.
The equipment is as simple as possible to ensure the speed of travel.
In addition, the group marched during the day and rested at night.
Rest must be dug and buried in sand as a concealment to avoid detection by the mechanical legion's aircraft.
And no fire can be made.
Light sources such as firelight can invite unnecessary fighting, and silence is required when resting.
Someone has to keep watch at night.
Several people execute in different directions, and the open and dark whistles are all corresponding.
Under Mark's strict rules, the crowd was miserable until one night.
The night in the wasteland is extremely quiet, and few plants survive in the sandy soil, except for sea buckthorn.
The moon is as cold as water, but everyone is in the sand, and they can't make a fire to keep warm.
The sand is soft and the pits dug are not deep.
You can only lay a blanket in the pit, lie down in it, and then lay a piece on your body, so that others can bury the sand again.
There is only one ventilation hole exposed, which is naturally more cold.
Often two people live in the same bunker.
Naturally, Mark's side is Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang was quite satisfied with the covert operation, but he was always vigilant like Mark.
The two of them don't communicate, and they can hear each other's exhalations clearly.
Along the way, Laurena and Zola chatted happily, and despite Caroline's persuasion, they even stayed in the bunker.
They dug bigger, perhaps because Caroline was not at ease, so that the three women mixed together.
As the saying goes: three women in one play.
The three of them were together, and after a long time, they had nothing to say.
From the sand holes, the three of them could faintly hear whispering and chatting happily, and occasionally there was the sound of snickering and laughing.
Mark couldn't stop them from talking.
Maybe the object of the three of them at this moment is themselves, so they can only lie quietly on their stomachs.
Somewhere behind him, Clark whispered, "Winston, look! There are shooting stars! ”
Winston struggled to look at the meteor that Clark was called, and the sand slid down.
"Sisters. There are shooting stars. Lorena said hello, and after the round shield that was originally used to block the entrance of the pit was removed, the three of them looked out in unison.
"Oops! Scout! ”
By the time Mark realizes that it wasn't a meteor, but a scout from the Mechanical Corps, it was too late.
The scout stopped for a moment, then quickly flew away.
"Wang Qiang. Drop it, be quick! Mark exclaimed.
