The long night is near.

There was a strange silence around the barracks.

For the Western coalition forces, today is probably the last nightmare they want to recall.

The previous air force ploughed the ground, so that they lost nearly half of their comrades-in-arms, and they did not know where the road ahead was, as for the victory promised by the officers before the war, it seemed to them that it was a mirage, and now they just wanted to go home alive.

"Enough! I've had enough of it. ”

"We're going home!"

"Be quiet, you will be punished for being heard by the regimental commander. ”

"I don't know if I can go back alive, so punish it. ”

“......”

The morale of the army in three directions was greatly affected.

A previous defeat had already made them lose the confidence to continue fighting.

"Silence me!"

An officer who had just lost his right arm walked in: "There is an order from above, the number of alert troops has been doubled tonight, our regiment is on the list, if you want to go home alive, cheer me up, now everyone is a prosperous and a loss-making existence." ”

"Doubling the alert?"

The soldier seemed to want something terrible: "Is there still ...... in this forest?"

"Shut up!"

The officer glared at the soldier who had jumped the most and interrupted him: "Sometimes, smart people tend to die the fastest. As soldiers, you obey orders, that is, don't ask more questions when you shouldn't. ”

"Yes, General. ”

The soldier's head shrank, and there was a frightened expression on his face, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Although he no longer said anything outrageous, the fear in his eyes could not deceive people in any way during the next patrol, and his performance like a frightened bird made his teammates suspicious.

"Boy, what are you afraid of?"

The captain asked a little irritably, "What do you know, tell us what the regiment commander forbids you to say." ”

"The head of the regiment has an order, I can't say it. ”

"Don't want to use the regiment commander to pressure me, are we still comrades-in-arms?"

"I—I know ......"

The soldier gritted his teeth: "Although the above tried their best to conceal it in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and also said that the previous ambush by the air force was accidental, but this is the third order to increase vigilance, so I speculate that the previous enemy air raid was not accidental, but our plan has been leaked, I am afraid that the air raid is just a prelude, and the next thing is the main meal." ”

"Next to dinner?!"

The faces of the captain and the rest of the team changed.

If the previous airstrikes of that intensity were just an appetizer, would they be able to survive the rest of the meal?

I'm afraid the chance of survival is less than 1%.

"It's just your guess. ”

One of the team members pale in denying the soldier's words, but everyone knew that this was a sign of self-deception.

When people encounter difficulties that cannot be resisted, they will inevitably have the psychology of evasion, expecting to use evasion to solve the problem, but unfortunately evasion is useless, and what should come will come.

"What are we going to do now?"

The captain's eyes looked at the soldier, and he felt that this soldier was probably the only one in the entire squad who was smart, so he hoped to rely on this soldier to survive this war as much as possible.

"Escape!

The soldier put it succinctly: "We must flee here, maybe there is still a chance of survival, if we don't flee now, continue to follow the advance of the main army, we will die without a place to bury." ”

"I'm in favor of running away. ”

"I agree. ”

"Me ...... too"

One person said a word, and even the team members who had previously denied the soldier agreed with the opinion.

No one wants to die, and in the absence of victory, it is a hooligan to talk about fighting for glory.

Therefore, everyone looked at each other, took advantage of the convenience of patrol duties, and fled directly from the barracks.

They move very cautiously.

The route did not attract the attention of the reconnaissance troops, so in less than an hour, they fled the radiation range of the barracks.

"Escaped, really escaped. ”

The crowd stood on a high place, gasping for breath and pouring water from the spring.

Only the soldier did not let his guard down: "Don't you think it's going too well? The reconnaissance team is all professionals and mages, and we came here unscathed, not only were we found along the way, but we were not hindered. ”

"I—I think, I kind of know why. ”

The captain's trembling voice came, and he put down his binoculars and pointed in the direction of the barracks.

Everyone looked in the direction of their fingers, and saw that the original army station was already full of smoke, and standing at this high place and looking there with binoculars, they could even clearly see the crowd of people fighting like ants.

"It's coming, and the Jialan Army is really here. ”

The captain looked at the soldier with a shocked gaze: "Everything is as you said, our plan has indeed been leaked, and the previous air raid is just an appetizer for the Jialan Army, and the next thing is the main meal." The reason why we were able to escape safely was probably because the war had started, and the war was so tragic that even the reconnaissance team had no time to pay attention to us. ”

"If we hadn't escaped, would we be dead by now?"

"But even if we escape, where are we going?"

The faces of the other team members were very ugly, they did not feel happy for the rest of their lives, but were full of confusion about the future, and did not know where to go.

......

The war lasted until dawn.

Although the second war was not as tragic as an air raid, half of the people died directly. But the battle shattered the last vestiges of illusion in the soldiers, and made them realize that they had become turtles in the urn.

Whether they are going forward or backward, they have no way out.

Now there seems to be only one option left for them -

Surrender.

And in the next few days.

The Jialans also seem to have given them enough time to hesitate, as long as they do not move, the Jialans will not launch any attacks.

It seems to be waiting for them to make a decision.

But the calmer the time, the harder it will be for them.

Because once people are idle, their minds become active, and the soldiers' cries for surrender are very high.

Just because the soldiers want to surrender doesn't mean that the top brass wants to surrender.

Their roots are in the West, and as long as they can bring their generals and officers back to the West, they have the ability to continue the war.

Because it is very difficult to train an officer, and it is enough to form an army as long as there is money and resources, and all countries are still large populations, it is very simple to pull up an army.

So now the idea at the top is -

By all means, the officers and high-ranking armed forces returned to their homeland.
