Chapter 209: Nothing
Beinrich roared in annoyance: "They are all experienced old mercenaries! They can't be killed silently! They won't go away quietly! Damn! We didn't lose so many people along the way! But in one night, I lost eleven brothers!"
The angry regimental commander gave the order: "Let's stay here for another day! Hell! I'll keep vigil myself tonight, and everyone should be alert at night, don't sleep to death! I'll see what can make my eleven brothers evaporate here!"
Snow Without a Trace went back to the tent to pack his things, he was going to stay for another day, no matter what, now that the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was in trouble, he didn't want to just leave. m.
The nights on the lakeside are exceptionally cold.
There are also dense woods in the forest to keep out the cold winds.
And beside this open large round lake, the cold wind can sweep through the wide area without hindrance.
Xue Wuxian felt that his body was getting colder a little.
The cold wind, as well as the cold ground, are pulling the heat out of the body little by little.
But Beinrich has gotten along well with Xue Wuxian these days, and when he saw that his friend was in trouble, Xue Wuxian volunteered to stay and help, even if he was frozen into a popsicle, he would only grit his teeth and endure it.
"Actually, you can stay in a tent. Beinrich lowered his voice, his eyes filled with gratitude, and although Beinrich was angry at the loss of eleven of his men, he did not lose his mind.
The experienced mercenary leader knew very well that if he could let his eleven equally experienced subordinates evaporate collectively without a sound, then the opponent would definitely not be something that ordinary people could deal with.
So he chose some of the best of the people he brought to keep vigil tonight.
Beinrich's assumption makes sense: if it was a monster, it must be a powerful guy! And since a monster dares to attack a camp of hundreds of people in the middle of the night and evaporate eleven people, then this guy is certainly not a cowardly guy.
It's probably going to strike again!" Because, this cold winter, the monster also needs food. When Beinrich said this, his eyes were cruel.
He knew very well that the reason why he stayed was not because he wanted to rescue the eleven missing people! In this kind of ghost place, where heaven should not be called earth, eleven big living people disappeared for a day and a night.
The chances of survival are slim.
Beinrich insisted on staying, simply because he couldn't stand the humiliation, if after losing eleven people. If you don't even know what exactly you're attacking, and run away with people in disgrace, it will be a fatal blow to the morale of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group!
As the regimental commander, he must not let this kind of thing happen, so even if it is dangerous, he has to try it and do something. Snow Without a Trace spoke, he was probably the only one of them who could understand Beinrich's thoughts.
He only moved his frozen foot slightly, then smiled, "We're already friends." Head of the Beinrich regiment. I don't think it's a big deal to get a little cold for a friend. ”
The entire mercenary camp was silent.
Most of the people were clutching their weapons, and no one was hiding in their tents.
The mercenaries put their skills to good use, digging ambush pits in the snow, and some even buried themselves under the snowdrifts in thick leather suits.
Strier lay in ambush with a few archers in the surrounding trees.
And the old one-eyed dragon volunteered to act as a "bait".
The old man made a bonfire, and then sat down in front of the fire and drank a large pot of meat on the fire.
Smell the aroma of wine and meat from afar.
But no one envied the old one-eyed dragon.
Because everyone knows very well that the old guy is using his life as bait.
It was a long night because everyone was always looking forward to discovering something.
The night was short, because after time passed, nothing was found, and everyone found that they didn't know when.
The horizon is already cloudy.
"Obviously, our opponents are smarter than us. ”
Xue Wuxian shook his head: "It didn't come." Maybe it has realized that we are prepared, or it may be that it has taken eleven people and has enough prey to attack us anymore. ”
Beinrich grabbed a handful of snow and wiped his face vigorously
He rubbed his face red, and the heat melted the snow.
It dripped down his beard into the collar, and the regimental commander didn't care in the slightest. His face was serious: "Maybe you're right, but just maybe." But we can't just walk away. Otherwise, if you go back with this kind of setback, the young men of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will not be able to raise their heads in the future, we are not afraid of death, since we dare to come out to live this kind of life, there is no one under my command who is afraid of death. But we must not lose our courage, and that is the most important thing. ”
During the day, the mercenaries took turns to rest in the tent to replenish their sleep and strength, and Beinrich decided to stay here.
And that night, again, nothing was gained, and the carefully prepared ambush did not welcome any guests.
And just like that, three days passed. Even the resolute regimental commander wavered in his determination, his men were so tired that no one slept for three nights, but rested in quick turns during the day.
And, after all, they had been adventuring in this forest for many days, and the mercenaries were already tired.
Although he was unwilling, the regiment commander also understood that it was too slim to continue to consume like this.
"On the last day, if we don't find anything tonight, we'll leave here tomorrow. Beinrich had no choice but to make a decision.
And this last night, finally not in vain! The mercenaries were tired from staying up late for several days, and this night, although most of them tried their best to persevere, but in the second half of the night, everyone was obviously a little out of energy.
Beinrich's eyes were bloodshot, for the past three days, other mercenaries could take turns resting during the day, but he, the regimental commander, could not rest.
For three days, he only slept for less than an hour at noon today.
In the second half of the night, some of the mercenaries even dozed off uncontrollably, and even the old one-eyed dragon sitting in front of the fire couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Xue Wuxian is a magician after all, his mental power is much beyond ordinary people, and the lack of sleep will only affect his physical strength, but it does not mean much sleepiness.
He was the most sober of the more than 100 people.
I took a hard breath, and the cold air at night stimulated me to have a faint pain in my nasal cavity, but my spirit was refreshing!
