Still in the mountains southeast of Manta City, a heavy snowfall a few days ago has long since disappeared at this moment. However, on the afternoon when Haoyi "rode alone" against the entire rebel armored detachment, Solomi's clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and sparse snowflakes drifted immediately. In less than a moment, a thin layer of snow was covered in the valley that was originally used as a temporary execution ground, and the jet-black wreckage of the pile of chariot mechs was also wrapped in a layer of silver, and some of the original violent and bloody faces were gone.

On the thin layer of snow, dozens of black dots hurriedly moved between the valley and the hillside, and the red blood stains were bent on the snow, looking a little cautious. It was the prisoners of the expeditionary force who had survived, busy carrying the corpses of their comrades who had died at the guns of the rebels.

Halfway up the mountain, about a dozen large graves surrounded by rubble stood tall in the middle of each other, and the corpses of the soldiers of the expeditionary force were stacked on top of each other. Most of the people who died under the powerful spike gun-piercing blast shells must have lost arms and legs, or their entire heads turned into a rotten watermelon, and almost none of them were intact.

On the top of the hillside, Hao Yi, who was wearing a tattered and scorched black military uniform, was lying comfortably in Catherine's arms, letting his soft little hands help him clean his wounds. Several other female soldiers were also busy treating the wounds of the rest of the wounded soldiers. And Hu Erpang and Zheng Shaolei were leading a few soldiers to act as lookout posts in the distant mountain pass, staring nervously in the direction of Manta City.

There were eighty or ninety soldiers of the expeditionary force rescued by Haoyi from the guns of the rebels, and more than 100 people were shot. These soldiers were forced to surrender to the rebels in the fierce battle last night because they ran out of ammunition and food. It was expected that the rebels would abide by the prevailing prisoner of war treaty and spare their lives, but what these expeditionary soldiers did not expect was that the rebels secretly dragged them here for execution under the pretext of transporting them to the prisoner of war camp.

In the fierce battle last night, there were two or three thousand men and horses of the logistics unit of the expeditionary force and the gendarmerie left behind, and most of them were killed in the fierce battle. A total of 500 or 600 prisoners were captured, and in order to prevent the number of prisoners from becoming too large to be controlled, the rebels divided these prisoners into three parts, and took them to the southeast, southwest, and north of the battlefield, and executed them secretly. In other words, Haoyi rescued less than one-sixth of them.

These prisoners, who had escaped death, were afraid that the main rebel force in the city would chase them out, so they wanted to throw down the corpses of their comrades all over the ground and hurriedly evacuate. However, Hao Yi, who crawled out of the black mecha, was irrepressibly furious after hearing the decision of the captives. Although he has just stepped on the battlefield and has not even been in the army for a long time, Haoyi seems to have naturally valued the friendship of siblings, and hates those scum who do not pay attention to brotherhood.

"If you dare to throw down the corpses of these comrades-in-arms, Lao Tzu will break you all out!" Hao Yi, who had a scorched black face and tattered armor, and was like a black monkey, brandished his rifle, and jumped to his feet viciously and scolded on the devil mecha that fell to the ground.

The furious Haoyi made the eighty or ninety captives jump in horror. They all heard it with their own ears and saw it with their own eyes, and Haoyi almost wiped out the entire rebel armored detachment with the power of one person and one mecha. Although he was only a corporal, and although the mecha fell to the ground, the hearts of the captives were invariably swept by a chill of slaughter. They could almost conclude that if they really slapped their butts and ran away, the killing god in front of them would definitely fire at them without hesitation.

Zuihou, the captives finally acquiesced to Haoyi's temporary "leadership position", obediently packed up the corpses of their comrades, and built simple stone graves on the hillside.

"Sister Nurse, have you collected all the brothers' military registration cards?" Hao Yi, whose head was resting on Catherine's soft thigh, suddenly asked quietly. His eyes looking at the battlefield in the valley were a little confused. Although he has also experienced a lot of battles since joining the war, watching more and more of his comrades fall in pools of blood and turn into cold and bloody corpses, Hao Yi has an indescribable sadness in his heart, even if he and these comrades don't know each other at all.

"Well, there are one hundred and twenty-seven in total, and Aina and the others have collected them." Catherine gently wiped the wound on Haoyi's forehead with a medical swab, and replied softly. Looking at the resolute and thin face of the man in her arms, Catherine, who originally had a rather pungent personality, felt a burst of softness in her heart for some reason.

Haoyi nodded, got up silently, walked to the stone graves halfway up the mountain, looked at the corpses of his comrades with a solemn face, sighed heavily, as if saying to himself: "How many more people will die to end this war?" ”

"That, that, Corporal Hao!" Just when Hao Yi was distracted, a voice sounded behind him, Hao Yi looked back and saw that it was a major officer, and hurriedly and habitually saluted: "Sir!" ”

"Don't, no, you're welcome, Corporal Hao!" The major officer, who was in his early thirties, seemed to be a little unaccustomed to Hao Yi saluting him, and waved his hand incoherently in fear. Of these eighty or ninety prisoners, many were lieutenant officers. However, perhaps because they were saved by Hao Yi, or because they witnessed Hao Yi's god-like side, these officers didn't dare to treat Hao Yi as an ordinary non-commissioned officer, and they were vaguely afraid.

"Well, the bodies of my comrades-in-arms are almost disposed of, and the brothers asked me to ask, what should we do next?" The major officer forced a reluctant smile with some uneasement. Perhaps, he had been an officer for so long and had never consulted a corporal so politely.

"Uh......" Haoyi obviously didn't expect that this major would ask himself such a question, scratched his head a little confusedly, and said, "Sir, it seems that this kind of question should be considered by your officers, right?" ”

"Uh, that's right, guys, I just want to, then ask for your opinion!" The major seemed to want to protect his officer's face and hide the fear of Haoyi in his heart, and said incoherently.

"Poof!" Catherine, who was following behind Haoyi, saw the embarrassment of the major officer, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if she realized that she was a little rude, and hurriedly covered her mouth again.

"......" At this moment, Haoyi was really a little stunned, looked back at Catherine, and was about to ask her Weishenme to laugh, when he suddenly saw a few figures hurriedly running in the distance.

"Brother Hao is not good! It's back for those dogs! Hu Erpang's big grinning voice immediately sounded far away.
