A recruit has not yet completed all the training subjects and has reached the combat power level comparable to that of the regular army. It's a big joke to say this kind of thing.

Hecken knew he wasn't lying. In fact, the monthly report has been scaled back slightly. If it is evaluated according to the actual situation. Then the combat power standard of the Loeller training camp can completely reach the terrible process of "B+", or "A-".

Just when the executive was hesitant about what to do with the report. A cavalryman wearing a striking red thong, also rushed into the gate of the training camp from the end of the mountain road.

"Enemy attack...... Dano, Dano Pass urgently calls for help...... Whew, whew, all reserves, whew, must immediately rush to the mountain pass for reinforcements"

Before the horses could fully stand on their feet, the exhausted soldiers had already rolled off their horses. Looking at the astonished people around them, the soldiers, pale from the long jolting, struggled to find a roll of parchment sealed with wax from the muddy briefcase. Xi opened his trembling lips, which had lost blood, and shouted with all his might: "Quick, gather all the people in the training camp, and ...... immediately Reinforcements now! ”

"Go get some water. And bread! ”

Song Xiaoye roared and quickly opened the wax seal on the surface of the paper roll. The people behind followed his instructions and handed in a bowl of brown bread soaked in hot water and already soaked soft. At the same time as the tired soldier gobbled down the bowl of batter, he had already finished reading the paper roll in his hand with a cold expression. Hand it to the executive officer Huken, who rushed to hear the news.

The Dark Mountains are a huge barrier separating humans from demons. Except for a few naturally formed and dangerous passes, there is no trace of this vast mountain range that can be crossed across the continent.

Unlike those large passes where heavy troops are stationed, the Dano Pass, which is more than 200 miles away from the town of Lore, is a small fortress with a width of only a few tens of meters. Although the garrison was only 3,000, it was enough to hold it by virtue of the dangerous terrain.

The soldier was sent from Dano Fortress to request reinforcements from all the surrounding villages and towns. There are more than a dozen riders who have been sent to various places with the same mission as him. According to the results of the scout's reconnaissance, the total number of human troops attacking the fortress this time has exceeded 80,000. Such a large army is obviously not something that the fortress garrison can fight against.

"Gather all the trainees and set off immediately!"

With the order of the executive officer, the entire training camp began to run rapidly. The two heavy log gates in front of the armory were pushed to the side. Bundles of well-preserved knives, guns, swords and spears were carried out. After wiping away the animal oil that was wrapped in it and emitted a strong fishy smell, the surface of these sharp steel killing weapons flashed with a terrifying white glow.

The doors of the grain depot were also open. The bread and jerky, which were placed on wooden shelves and cherished by the people, were also quickly divided into animal skins the size of a person's head by the teenagers at the sound of the instructor's scolding and urging. It is only at this time that the instructors, who cherish food like gold on weekdays and are not even willing to give too much food, will show themselves as extravagant as rich people with thousands of dollars in their pockets.

"Stinky boys, bring more stuff. If you don't have a full stomach, how can you have the strength to cut people? Fill your parcels with enough bread tubes. The more strength you have, the better your chances of surviving on the battlefield! ”

A one-eyed instructor cursed loudly, grabbed a piece of jerky that was harder than a stone, and shoved it into the package of a teenager's body. Unexpectedly, such a simple act caused a faint layer of tears to appear in the corners of the young man's eyes.

He clearly remembers: Just a few days ago, the instructor had threatened him, saying that if he did not train hard, he would cut himself into pieces at the end of the month and cook broth for the whole battalion to drink. Despite this, when he privately saw himself lying on the training ground, the one-eyed instructor quietly threw a fist-sized piece of bread in front of him.

There is a limit on food rations for everyone in the camp. Even the instructor can't take an extra bite. Give it to others, and you will starve yourself.

There isn't much food in stock. After evenly distributing them among the ninety-seven boys, all that remained of the huge storeroom were rows of empty wooden shelves and the faint smell of bread wafting from them, which made one want to suck their saliva.

Carrying a bulging animal skin package, Song Xiaoye, who was in a state of flux, walked quickly to the executive officer with a solemn expression. "That's all there is to it." It's all given to us, what are you going to do? ”

"You don't have to worry about us, old guys." Heken looked at him as usual, and grinned, "Remember, you must rush to Dano Pass in the shortest possible time to accept the unified command of the fortress commander. Keep all the damn humans out of the Dark Mountain for me. If possible, kill a few more officials. Hey, hey, hey! The skin and tender meat of human officers are much better than those of ordinary soldiers. ”

Arguing with veterans is doomed to lead to nothing. Even if Song Xiaoye insisted on forcibly leaving the two bags of food, he was still scolded and thrown over by several angry instructors on the spot. In desperation, he had to lead this team of no more than 100 people to hurriedly walk out of the camp gate. When I looked back, I could still see the hunger and anticipation on the faces of the veterans standing by the thick gate pillars.

……

Song Xiaoye did not choose the main road between the town of Loeller and the Dano Pass. Instead, he took everyone up a narrow mountain road outside the town. It was a light hunting trail that he had known since he was a child. It's a little harder, but it's enough to shorten the journey by a third.

Towards the end of the evening, the sun gradually turned westward, and gradually put away the unbearable scorching heat. The wind blows slowly, and it spreads a pleasant coolness among the mountains and forests covered with golden sunsets.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Song Xiaoye, who was walking at the front of the team, raised his **** right arm high and made a stop movement. Suddenly, all the teenagers who followed behind stopped and stood in place. Gently holding his breath.

After a month of training, in addition to teaching powerful combat skills, Song Xiaoye also followed the military discipline of the alien civilization, so that these teenagers understood what it meant to "order and prohibit". This is also the real reason why Executive Officer Heken assessed the training performance of the month as "B" in his monthly report.

Song Xiaoye's eyes were fixed on the ground a few meters in front of his feet. Between the slightly frowning brows, the skin and flesh that had been gathered together due to overcrowding were tightly twisted into dense furrows.

Seeing this, Wei Sen, who followed closely, hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly, "Master, ...... you?"

"Shh

Song Xiaoye gently put his fingers to his lips. His right hand pointed to the ground directly in front of him.

There, it was a path that people walked and walked on. Most of the road surface is covered by overgrown weeds along the roadside. Rao is like this, from the dense forest straight down, reflected in the mottled leaves on the ground, you can still clearly see: a series of scattered footprints, densely stacked in the slightly wet soil.

Wei Sen looked at Song Xiaoye, who looked attentive, suspiciously. He opened his mouth, but did not speak. In his opinion, the footprints on the mountain road are too normal. There's really no need to be so serious.

"These are no ordinary footprints." Song Xiaoye squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and carefully compared the distance between the footprints in the soil: "You may not have noticed, the shoe patterns of these footprints are very consistent. In the meantime, there is no unique texture of the animal skin shoes that our demons are used to wearing. There is little difference in the span between the steps. That is, this is an army. An army that has already walked over this mountain road before us. ”

"The army?" Hearing this, Wei Sen clenched the sword in his hand in surprise: "Could it be, it's some other training camp?" ”

"Probably not." Song Xiaoye patted the dirt on his hands, stood up and contemplated: "Judging from the footsteps, we are the closest reserve force to Dano Fortress. Even if the training camps in other villages and towns received orders, they would only pass by the main road. What's more, no matter which training camp it is, it is impossible for there to be so many people who do not wear animal skin shoes. You know, judging from the footprints, the number of these people is about 2,000. ”

Wisson, whose face changed color slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat: "Master, what do you mean?" ”

"Human! This is supposed to be a human army secretly climbing over the ridge! ”

Looking at the shadows of the trees that were constantly swaying in front of the road, Song Xiaoye's face couldn't help but show a little cold and fierce: "Order, everyone speed up." They must be intercepted before dark. ”

"One hundred against two thousand...... We, can we do it? Hearing this, Moss, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Fighting a war is not entirely dependent on the number of each other's soldiers." Song Xiaoye smiled, and couldn't help but think of a great wise man named "Zhuge Liang" in the alien civilization: "Sometimes, a person's wisdom is enough to be comparable to an army of 100,000. ”

Hell, when he said this, Song Xiaoye remembered that he was a woman.

……

When he took the soup bowl from the personal guard, Lazina's mind was still thinking about the next move of his army.

Two months ago, the Border Patrol captured a lost demon hunter. Two weeks later, the one-star general Lazina, who was stationed at the border pass of Xi'o, received a secret order from the royal capital: at any cost, he must find out the way through the dark mountain range from the mouth of this demon clan.

Gouging out his eyes, breaking off his fingers one by one, and pouring boiling hot oil on his body, he peeled off a piece of tattered skin that smelled of burning...... Under severe torture, the dying demon hunter finally marked a winding hidden path on the map.

After the map was in hand, the royal capital immediately sent a large army. The task of Razina is to lead the selected 2,500 elites to cross the mountains along the trail and deliver a fatal blow to the Dano Fortress from behind.

This road is really difficult to walk.

Not to mention the rugged circle, there are too many poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains and forests. By the end of the six-day trip, more than 200 non-combat personnel had been attritional. If it weren't for the expectant eyes of Prince Roslyn, who commanded the army before leaving. I'm afraid that Razina would have led the army to turn back and completely abandon this difficult task that seemed impossible to complete.

Luckily, the road is very secluded. The demons didn't realize it at all: right under their noses, they had quietly infiltrated a human army that was enough to change the tide of the war.

Razina is a very cautious person. According to the route marked on the map, it is only a few dozen miles away from the Dano Fortress. So, in a secluded valley, he ordered everyone to set up camp. Have a good night's rest, after recovering your body. Tomorrow you will be ready to fight.

However, when he drank the broth from the bowl with his neck up, his mouth still chewing on a lump of unswallowed flesh. Suddenly, I felt a hazy intoxication suddenly rise from my brain. Then his eyes went black, and he was unconscious for a moment.

……

The unbearable heat of the day was hard to find in the valley in the middle of the night. The gentle breeze blowing from the trees and the moist night dew completely dispel the heat and vegetables, but also bring a faint chill that makes people shiver.

Walking into the tent temporarily set up with dry branches, Song Xiaoye's eyes also flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. He pulled out the dagger that was slanted at his waist, and with one hand he grabbed the hair that was sleeping on the ground. Sharpen the tip of the dagger and slash through the gap in the opponent's chest armor. In a clear and rhythmic sound of flesh cutting, the human one-star warrior who had been full of ambition a few minutes ago had turned into a blood-soaked corpse in an instant.

"Cut off everyone's heads. Don't let a live mouth go! ”

Song Xiaoye was not born cruel. Humans and demons have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and there has never been any so-called mercy to each other. If humans fall into the hands of demons, they will be killed without hesitation. If a demon soldier is captured on the battlefield, he will also be beheaded, dismembered, and filed.

Ninety-seven is undoubtedly too small a number compared to two thousand five hundred. In the event of a head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield, it is believed that no commander will raise any objection to such a disparity in the outcome of the battle.

If the situation is completely reversed, the opponent of the ninety-seven will no longer be the battle-hardened elite troops, but a herd of lambs waiting to be slaughtered without the slightest sense. Well, apart from the fact that the disparity in numbers is too long for the director to kill, there is no comparison between the two at all.

The teenagers searched carefully. Even the human sentinels huddled in the grass, sleeping like dead pigs, were not spared. A few hours later, more than 2,000 shoulder-to-shoulder human heads were stacked in the shape of a hill in a clearing in the middle of the valley camp. The dry brown soil beneath the feet of the people was also soaked into a soft mud with pungent blood flowing from the countless corpses.

All the teenagers gathered around the corpse pile, staring at Song Xiaoye in the center of the crowd with eyes full of respect and fear. Especially in the eyes of Wisson, who has already enshrined him as his master, there is an unconcealed eagerness and loyalty.

No one thought that poisoning a spring next to the valley would cause more than 2,000 human elites to completely lose their combat effectiveness. The power of a little insignificant poison that erupted at such a time was comparable to that of two fully equipped demon armies of a thousand people.

From the time when he secretly caught up with this human army that quietly crossed the dark ridge, Song Xiaoye's mind was thinking quickly: what kind of method could be used to wipe out the other party.

In the ancient history of warfare in alien civilizations, "fire attack" has always been the most frequently used secret warfare method that is effective and effective.

The terrain of the Dark Mountains is suitable for fire attack. However, in this case, setting fire is also burning yourself.

Then, there is another option left -- poisoning.

Now that they have set up camp, they have to eat and drink. Song Xiaoye, who grew up hunting in the mountains and forests since he was a child, has long known the location of the springs in the woodland. As for poison, it's even simpler. The highly paralyzing venom smeared on the arrows of the hunters comes from a dwarf plant that can be found everywhere.

In this way, the elite troops led by the one-star warrior general Lazina were not stopped by the steep mountains, nor were they stopped by the terrible poisonous snakes and beasts. In the end, it was unconsciously poured into the soup bowl that seemed to be the safest and exuded a rich aroma.

"Put the heads on them, strip them of their weapons and armor, and take them away together. Be fast. Tomorrow at dawn, we must rush to Dano Fortress! ”

Song Xiaoye's order was not superfluous. Although the demons can forge the necessary armor. But in terms of the process of making zuò, it is much worse than that of humans. After all the great wars, the demon army will always clean up the entire battlefield. In addition to the corpses that could be used as food to survive the famine, the weapons and armor carried by the war dead were also important materials that the empire had to collect.

The burly Moss walked at the front of the line carrying a bundle of short swords wrapped in animal skins. In terms of strength alone, there was no second person in the entire training camp who was his opponent. However, this powerful and reckless man behaved like an obedient lamb in front of Song Xiaoye.

He had never admired a person so devotively as he did now. If it is said that Song Xiaoye in the training camp is just a martial artist who knows wonderful martial arts and makes himself willing to bow down in terms of fighting. Then, the carnage that had just ended in the valley made the little bit of consciousness in Moss's heart that he wanted to turn the tables in terms of force was as clean as a raging storm swept through the sky, without the slightest trace of clouds.

With a weak force of less than 100 people, he killed an opponent dozens of times more than his own in one fell swoop. Such a person is far beyond the scope of ordinary martial artists. Such an excellent record is comparable to the greatest general in the Demon Clan.

The empire worships force. The heads of more than 2,000 human soldiers...... The demon god is above, what a huge military feat this is!

That strange feeling came again.

Of course, it is good to have military merits. The question is, will the Demon Emperor publicly reward a woman? However, this powerful and reckless man behaved like an obedient lamb in front of Song Xiaoye.
