Chapter 15 From the Dagger Behind on

After eliminating enough food for twenty people, Sue finally drove away the hunger. After reawakening, the feeling of hunger was so intense that it completely overwhelmed IchiΔ“, and even before filling his stomach, Sue was completely unable to think about anything else.

After cleaning the last can, Su exhaled, pushed the table away, and stood up.

"You're such a monster...... "Ricardo, who was standing at the door of the tent, finally spat out this sentence, and before the words fell, he shuddered, and it turned out that the cigarette burned to the end unconsciously, burning his fingers. The cigarette was taken as soon as it was lit, and then Ricardo just held it in his pocket, looking at Sue in a daze. What made him feel incredible was that Sue's body shape was well-proportioned and perfect, full of power and oppression, but not a muscular monster. But where did all that food go? It looked like Sue had a black hole in her stomach.

Sue ignored Ricardo's emotion and began to move her body. He made a few strange movements before frowning and stopping.

While Sue was moving his body, Ricardo held his breath and didn't let go of every detail. It wasn't until Su stopped his movements that he let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Hey, you monster, where did you learn this set of movements?" ”

Although there is only a thin layer of short pale blonde hair on the top of her head, the combination of the dark black eye patch adds a touch of weird and mysterious charm to Sue's almost comparable appearance. But at this time, there was more of a faint worry on his face.

Hearing Ricardo ask, Sue was a little strange and replied, "I'm just trying to see if the parts of my body are functioning properly and what are the injuries." It's just a casual move, do you still need to learn this thing? ”

Ricardo smiled wryly and said, "Yes, it's just casual for you, but for us it means something completely different." In the Dark Dragoon, the special action of detecting physical injuries is only available to Dragoons at the rank of Captain and above, and it is not complete. These actions can only be fully performed with special training and genetic enhancement in specific directions, and on the battlefield, it can not only detect hidden injuries on the body, but also have the effect of stabilizing injuries. As long as the exact extent of the injury is known, targeted treatment can be carried out so that even a humble marching hospital can save the dragoon's life. The movement you just did is at least 80% similar to the one I learned. That's why I find it strange. ”

Su was silent for a while before he said, "It seems that the headquarters has to charge money for everything." ”

Ricardo nodded and said, "It's natural. Only in this way can the resources scattered among the various dragoons be pooled and used in a unified manner. If the headquarters doesn't charge for it, where will we get so much new equipment to buy, and where will dozens of new ability formulas appear every year? ”

Su had a new understanding of how the Dark Dragoon worked, and asked, "How did this battle go, and what should we do now?" ”

"Your tactical board has been ruined, so I used my own tactical board to send a report to headquarters. Look, here's the results report, here's the list of loot, which hasn't been distributed yet. ”

Sue took Ricardo's tactics board and read the results report carefully. In this battle, the dragoons lost fifteen dead and more than thirty wounded, most of whom were veterans of the guards around Ricardo, who died at the hands of Mathem. Sue's losses were very minor. A total of 130 people were killed and 3 were seriously wounded and captured. The dragoons can be said to have won a big victory.

As for the long list of loot, Su didn't look at it carefully, but went directly to the end of the list and found the valuation part. The initial estimated value of this batch of loot was 1.2 million, which was not much higher than the value of Malim's corpse, and much lower than Sue expected, which surprised him a little. It seems that after initially obtaining the technical information of the Calamity Scorpion, the newly seized things did not bring much new things to the Dark Dragoon.

Perhaps information about Matham and Pandora would be more valuable, but out of a sense of wonder, Sue didn't intend to share it with headquarters. In Sue's opinion, Pandora is already his, and cannot be shared with anyone. This pure and complete possessiveness stems from his physical instincts, and is so strong that it is irresistible.

Sue returned the tactics board to Ricardo and said with a smile, "I've seen it." How are you going to distribute the spoils? ”

"Isn't this easy? We work together, so one person is half right. Ricardo shrugged and said with some indifference.

600,000, for Su, is a huge amount of money. Not only Su, but I'm afraid that any dragoon lieutenant, including most of the school officers, would not take it lightly. In terms of his contribution to the victory, Ricardo did not play a decisive role like Sue, but he also made a great contribution in the early stages of the battle, and it was he who saved Sue back. Moreover, Ricardo's losses in the battle were much heavier than Sue's, and the death of a dozen guards soldiers with rich combat experience and abilities almost reaching the standard of Hu's subordinates alone brought more than 300,000 direct losses to Ricardo. These fighters are not just numbers, when they form a team with tacit understanding, they can play far more than simply sum up. After all, people have so much value that can't be measured in money.

So, Ricardo should have taken more. Based on the Dark Dragoon's common loot distribution formula, Ricardo should have a share of more than 800,000.

Sue also knows the formula for the calculation of the Dark Dragoon. That big formula that seemed very complicated was not a problem for Sue's computing power, so as soon as Ricardo's words fell, Sue said, "You should take 800,000." ”

Ricardo shook his head, still nonchalant, and said, "I don't lack these 200,000, but it's different for you." After all, this battle was split from your mission, and you saved me once, so let's take it as a mission introduction fee. This money is enough for you to upgrade the abilities and equipment of the three servants one more time, they are all rare excellent followers, don't die. You have to strengthen your team before you can take on more difficult tasks and earn more money. When your strength grows, we can work together again. Compared with these 200,000, I need a comrade-in-arms who can fight together. ”

"But I still have a grudge against your family. Why don't you choose to be on the side of the family? Sue couldn't find an answer to that question.

Ricardo smiled, did not look at Su again, but looked at the soldiers who were constantly busy outside, and said leisurely: "I have fought in the north for several years, and the only thing I have learned is that the most precious thing on the battlefield is to be able to give his back to his comrades with confidence. But in the eyes of many guys in the family, any brother, any family, and any bloodline, as long as the price is right, can be sold. The few people who are behind me, including Raikna, who died at your hands, want me to die on the battlefield sooner rather than later, so that they too can have a chance to continue the family business. It's a pity that Lao Tzu didn't let them get their way! ”

From Ricardo's words, Su heard a vague sense of loss and helplessness, as well as a little resentment, and didn't know what had happened in the past internal struggle within the family, which made him remember it like this. Perhaps, as the first heir to the throne of a large family, he chose to fight to the death on the northern battlefield for several years, which is no longer very reasonable.

Ricardo was silent for a moment before continuing: "Seeing you in the training base, and the way you handled those things later, made me feel like you were someone who could be relieved to give you your back. At least the family, which doesn't have much to do with me. Now I have a qiΔ“ in my hand, but I have earned it from the north. ”

For Sue, Ricardo's trust was a bit sudden. Years of experience in the wilderness made him not to trust anyone lightly, not even Ricardo, who had just fought together. Sue, who is like a beast, is very slow to trust a person, and Ricardo has not spent enough time with him.

At this time, although Su had eaten enough, there was still a faint tingling pain all over his body, indicating that there were still a large number of injuries that could not be healed. For Sue, these injuries that cannot be healed in a short time are very troublesome. There are also many places where there is no reaction at all, which means that the body tissue there is completely dead and needs to be replaced by new tissue. Obviously, this is again a process that will not be very fast.

Now Su's combat power is equivalent to half of that of peacetime at most. And since all of his firearms and paraphernalia, including Captain Cortis's rifle and Sgra pistol, were destroyed by Mathem's lightning strike, Sue's actual combat effectiveness dropped even more.

In a weakened state, Su Ke would not make such a mistake as pursuing the enemy. Although the desire for Pandora is very strong, the immediate priority is to regroup the team and recover from the injury. While still in the wilderness, Su fully understood the importance of rest and recovery, and at the same time, he can also be said to be a master of choosing the battlefield and the timing of the battle.

"It's time to withdraw to the vicinity of the core control area and reorganize the team." Sue said.

Ricardo fully agreed. In his opinion, the forward base that Calamity Scorpion had been operating for many years must have been a difficult stone to gnaw on, and Matham was too impressed with him. Ricardo would love to see other dragoons willing to test how hard the forward base really is, but he wouldn't do the job.

Just as Ricardo took out the tactical board and began to check the map, Sue suddenly frowned, a hint of gloom passed over his face, and said, "I don't know why, I feel that we are in big trouble." ”

Ricardo was stunned, a little puzzled why Sue, who had always been cautious, would suddenly say such a thing. At this moment, the tactical board in his hand made a soft sound, and a message came in. Ricardo only glanced at it, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Su: "It looks like there is trouble, not only you, but also mine, so you just said 'us'." To be honest, I really hate your crow's mouth. ”
