After Kevin was rescued, he was immediately pulled back along with the catapult for treatment by the military chaplain. But when the army priest came over to take a look, he just said that Kevin was overworked, and there were no serious injuries on his body, so he could just sleep for a while. He then dragged him back to his own barracks to rest.

Seeing the catapult being pulled back, the entire Thunder Knights were talking. About 9 days ago, the staff officer escaped from the depths of the Carudia Hills with the remaining 20 or so remnants of soldiers, and stayed nearby for a day, waiting for Kevin. Of course, they didn't wait, so they added some journey, and returned to the Thunder Knights about 7 days ago.

Such a heavy loss, whether it was victory or defeat, was enough to shock the whole regiment. Of course, the staff officer automatically took all the responsibility and said that he was incompetent, but at the same time, he also hacked Kevin fiercely. said that Kevin did not listen to orders when he was fighting, and used many excuses to contradict his boss, and he did not take him as a staff officer and the commander-in-chief of the scene in his eyes at all.

Although the staff officer is not so shameless as to blame Kevin for the failure, it is obvious that Kevin is also quite responsible. However, he also changed his words, saying that now that Kevin is dead, then forget about these, just like all the soldiers who died, he will be buried as a hero, and he is ready to notify his family.

Kevin wasn't here anyway, and no one was going to contradict him. To a certain extent, the staff officer is also telling the truth, now that Kevin is dead, and the staff officer has no intention of burying Kevin in the name of a hero. These words of the staff officers will not be passed on to the outside world, and even if the generals and several independent department chiefs know about them internally, the only effect of these words is only to slightly reduce the responsibility of the staff officers themselves.

In the next few days, the Thunder Knights were in chaos, the Thunder Knights were the ace legions of the kingdom, and it was difficult to hide such a heavy blow, which instantly attracted the attention of high-level officials and colleagues, and also caused a bad impact. The king personally ordered that the cause and effect of this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and sent a special investigation team to investigate, and with the strength of General Oude's sword master, the origin of this investigation team is not trivial. The head of the Assassin Guild personally led the team, accompanied by Bright, the head of the Knights of Fire, and more than a dozen professionals stayed in the Knights of Thunder. In fact, with the current casualty rate, it is not enough to alarm the two Sword Saints, but the problem is that this is General Oude's territory, and if you send a low-level one, it is estimated that there will be no problems.

The three knights of the kingdom are independent of other legion systems, and can be directly promoted to marshal in wartime to lead other legions in battle. Commanders or marshals of other armies above the commanders of other legions, etc., command hundreds of subordinate legions. But General Oude did not, and theoretically his boss was directly the king.

The investigation team arrived that day, but they also had to give General Oude some face, after all, everyone was a colleague. A day later, General Oude gave an investigation report based on the words of the staff officer, and then the investigation team conducted a sample of several soldiers who had escaped. This question is not as simple as sitting face-to-face, you ask me and I answer it.

This is all using hypnosis, and the average soldier has low mental strength, so it is impossible to resist and cannot resist. The two sword masters are from the town, and the investigation is basically handed over to the professionals. But in this investigation, doubts gradually emerged. The biggest suspicion is that they were too embarrassed when they returned, from the collapse of the hill, the staff officers fleeing alone, to their collective escape, there are really many doubts. 【】

Regardless of the stupidity of the staff officer's tactics, was the bandit really completely wiped out? They questioned the staff officer again, but the staff officer repeatedly insisted that the bandits had been completely wiped out, and that it was the bandits who had done something to the cave at the last moment, causing the cave to collapse and they were all killed. At that time, the people in the cave were all dead, no one escaped, and the staff officer himself was good and not easy to be hypnotized. What's more, the situation was indeed the case at that time, but I knew in my heart that there must be bandits.

The staff officer said that he had been waiting for him outside for a day, but he couldn't, speculating that he might have been attacked by a monster. At the same time, he said that Kevin repeatedly contradicted his boss, disobeyed orders on the battlefield, and was arrogant. Even if he comes back, he will have to be dealt with by military law and so on.

But even so, as a commander, you can't just leave people there and leave them alone? If you make a mistake again, you should get them back and deal with them in accordance with military law. What's more, the staff officer has already returned victoriously, and it is not an urgent task, even if he comes out and waits for a day and does not see anyone, he should go back and continue to look for it!

The staff officer could only be embarrassed by this and bowed his head and confessed. He said that he was emotionally out of control and was willing to accept punishment.

Suspicion three, the problem of sheep technique. In fact, only Kevin saw the sheep technique, and the other survivors had only heard that Lieutenant Colonel House had gone back to do an examination, but all he saw was a pile of fine corpses. However, despite the lack of strong evidence, it is still an important reference.

At this point in the investigation, basically anyone who is smart can see the problem. But at this time, another three days have passed, and the matter is a foregone conclusion, is there still a need to reveal? This is a question that has made all the high-level leaders ponder deeply. In just a few days, rumors began to spread in the surrounding taverns that the Thunder Knights had lost more than 180 people and had been beaten back by bandits.

And when rumors spread, it is easy to make mistakes. Today it is said that 180, tomorrow it will become 200 in that person's mouth, and the day after tomorrow it will become half a group. As for whether the bandits were really exterminated, everyone also had different opinions. Some people think that so many people must have been exterminated. Some people think that it is not necessarily, maybe it is just to maintain their reputation, and they dare not say defeated.

In any case, the reputation of the Knights of Thunder is greatly damaged, some regret, some sigh, some disdain, and some ridicule. In particular, some of the mercenaries boasted in the tavern: "What kind of thing is a bandit? I can't afford to wear clothes, and I am shirtless, and I am a robber with an axe." Lao Tzu can kill three or five alone. It seems that the so-called Knights of Thunder is nothing more than that. ”

Among them, the one who wants to know the truth the most is the passing caravan. The army first said that it had been exterminated, and then said that the investigation team was still investigating, which made all the caravans uneasy.

At this time, if it is really found out that the Thunder Knights are just defeated in embarrassment, then where will the army's face be placed. In peacetime, there are few wars, and one defeat is enough to say a few years. This will not only lose the reputation of one regiment of the Thunder Knights, but the entire army will be affected. One of the most ace legions of the Thunder Knights, if he suffered such a crushing defeat, wouldn't others think that the other legions would be even more vulnerable?

At the same time, a number of family members of the deceased also rushed over. This news can't be blocked, and it obviously feels like someone is fueling the trouble and spreading it. The feeling of being ruined is undoubtedly unbearable, and the soldiers who died in battle were all young men, and their youth was buried here.

The number of family members outside the camp gate increased rapidly. There is the advantage of a teleportation array, as long as the family is not too remote, all parts of the country can arrive within a day or two, including Start's mother and family, but there is no Kevin's mother. Maybe after all, he is abroad, and the news has not yet arrived.

Many of these family members also have nobles and some masters, and they can only wait silently at the gate of the camp at this time. There were bursts of crying at the door, and emotions infected each other, becoming more and more sad and miserable. General Oude sent someone to calm their emotions, saying that the situation was still being investigated, but he also hoped that they could be mentally prepared.

Everyone expressed their understanding, but fortunately everyone was sad, but no one tried to break into the barracks. But staying at the gate all the time was not a problem, and the hotel in the city could not accommodate it, so General Oude ordered that tents be erected outside the camp to allow them to rest and arrange for food. These are the families of the sergeants, and all they are talking about are the names of these surviving comrades-in-arms, and it is not appropriate to use violence to drive them away, otherwise it will also make the living people feel cold.

In the past few days, the whole regiment has not bothered to train, except for the basic exercises, the collective can be regarded as a nanny for the families of the sergeants, serving tea and food, sweeping the floor and standing guard. At the same time, the work of the investigation team here is basically completed, and the next step if there is to investigate further, it is to go to the depths of the Kaludia hills.

General Oude insisted that it would be best to end in his current state, while the Assassin leader insisted on finding out the truth, but could not reveal it. In the end, the Captain of the Knights of Flame proposed a compromise plan, and this time it was settled, but the Knights of Thunder had to escort the entire trade route in Kaludia for half a year. This is similar to a kind of after-sales service, and it will also get a lot of praise. At the same time, it also prevents the bandits who have just been exterminated and come out to rob again the next day, which is tantamount to slapping the army in the face.

The main reason for this defeat was the geographical disadvantage, but if it was on the trade route, it would not be possible for the bandits to clash head-on with the army. Even if there are still remnants of bandits, seeing the legion escorting like this every day, they will have to move another place to rob after a long time. If they can really endure it for half a year, then they can announce to the public that they are new bandits. The outside world will no longer question it, and ordinary people will not believe that bandits can be so forbearing.

This seems to be a good plan, but it is actually quite a weakening for the Thunder Knights. How many caravans are there coming and going? The whole regiment is about the same, and if they do not train for half a year and escort the caravans every day, their combat effectiveness will decline to a certain extent. General Oude couldn't help but wonder if General Bled was deliberately trying to suppress him, although even if he really suppressed it, it was normal, and there was a rivalry between the three major knights.

The three Juggernauts discussed for a long time, with the Assassin Leader insisting on finding out the truth, and General Oude vehemently objecting and listing a bunch of reasons. The head of the Knights of the Flame wanted to take the opportunity to suppress his colleagues, agreeing with some of General Oude's reasons, but following his methods. In the end, Oude was helpless and decided to follow the plan of the head of the Flame Knights.

In the final analysis, Oude didn't want to find out the truth, and he still wanted to keep this staff officer. is finally a seventh-order warrior, which is also rare to have such a master, one point stronger than many regiment commanders. The value of a master is always much greater than that of a small soldier. If it is cruel to say that the staff officer and Kevin let the general choose, then he will not hesitate to sacrifice Kevin and keep the staff officer.

A consensus was reached, and the investigation team just left. However, the report also makes clear mention of their suspicions, as well as General Oude's obstruction. Although they did not investigate it, it did not mean that they would not report it to the king and leave it to the king for decision.

In fact, the king would not have criticized General Oude at most at a conference. As for the staff officer, it has to be taken care of by the general himself. At present, the general himself is also thinking about how to punish his staff officers, although the casualties are large, but after all, he won, at least on the surface. It is also inconvenient to punish too severely, how can war not kill people.

And the king called the people of the mercenary alliance and asked them to coordinate with the general, the Carudia trade road was guarded by the military, so how to calculate the freight in the middle, whether it would cause a large number of people to block the trade route, and a bunch of follow-up problems that might be caused need to be discussed and discussed.

And in the midst of this discussion, Kevin is back!

This time, to everyone's surprise, not only the officers and soldiers at the bottom were talking about it, but the top level was even more anxious. The staff officer's face turned pale in an instant, and General Oude personally stepped out to take Kevin back.

Judging by Kevin's state, it was clear that he had experienced an unusually tragic battle, so much so that no one could have estimated the severity of the battle. But there is no doubt that the bandits have not been exterminated. This is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to all the people who claim that the bandits are gone.

When the catapult was pulled back, the family members at the camp gate were also boiling. Of these, only Stadt's mother was the happiest, as she was explicitly told that Statt was still alive and was currently recuperating at the sheriff's office near Kaludia. And the saddest of all are Gray's parents.

They had already heard that their son had recently become a catapult soldier, and they had seen the catapult pull back and Start alive. For a moment, they thought their son was still alive, but they were given a cold corpse. There are no more ups and downs in life than this.

It was the only body brought back from the battle, and the others were often buried under the hill. The families of the deceased still have a glimmer of hope, feeling that the body has not been seen, and maybe there will be a miracle. Kevin had considered going over to find the corpse of the parrot's eldest sister, but the carcass of a bird was too small, and his physical strength did not allow it at that time, so he had to give up.

In the face of Kevin's sudden return, the staff officer immediately knelt down and asked for his life, saying that he was derelict in his duty and was willing to atone for his crimes. Lead a group of men and horses, and then enter the depths of the Carudia hills, vowing that the bandits will not be exhausted, and he is willing to come to see him.

At this time, Kevin was still asleep and had not woken up, and the investigation team had just left, but when they learned that Kevin was back, the investigation team was afraid that they would rush back immediately. The general knew that this matter could not be delayed, and immediately ordered the staff officer to lead the first brigade and set out to exterminate the bandits.

The commander of the first brigade is the eldest son of the general, and the strength is also the third in this legion, and he has experienced many small-scale battles against the beasts with the general, and he is brave. The strength of the whole team is also the top of the three teams, and it can be said that it is the elite of the elite of the Thunder Knights.

After all, a staff officer has suffered a loss, and if he has grown wiser, he will never make the same mistake again. Let him lead the elite brigade, and this time he should be able to take down those bandits. Even if you can't kill it cleanly, bring back fifty or sixty bandit heads, and you can pay for it. Unlike this time, when you were empty-handed and had nothing, it's no wonder others are suspicious.

In the evening of the same day, the staff officers gathered all the men and horses, and more than 200 people, and set off again. Rest overnight at the transit station outside Kaludia and decide to go in the next day.

The staff officer is actually very clear that he will not be able to escape the blame this time, and most of the debates with Kevin will be disadvantaged. Fortunately, Kevin was still in a coma at this time, and the staff officer immediately asked for orders to go on the expedition, and ran away first while Kevin was unconscious. When the time comes, as long as he comes back with the thief's head, Kevin won't be able to say anything even if he wakes up. At most, the merits and demerits are offset, and it is considered fine.

The staff officer secretly made up his mind that he must win this time.

At the same time, Robles, the bandit nest on the other side, asked himself that it was difficult to control this group of mentally retarded bandits, and had to ask General Bradley for help. This former imperial general is still working in other main cities, and he has always been very concerned about the battle situation of the bandits, which has not been completed for seven or eight days, and he has urged from time to time, but unexpectedly, on the ninth day, there is the bad news that five pairs of load-bearing wheels have escaped.

Robles is also a master, and most of the masters are a little arrogant and unwilling to ask for help easily, which will make him seem very incompetent. So even if Robles was hit hard by a catapult, he didn't immediately ask General Bradley for help, after all, he already felt that his opponent was in the bag.

Bradley came over the next day, of course, the two of them wouldn't meet in front of a bunch of bandits, otherwise the urinal mage would become two, which would be a little weird.

Robles counted the details of the battle, resisted the bandits for 8 days, and severely damaged him, the mastermind behind the scenes. These bandits have long been cultivated to believe that they have the aura of the protagonist, but even if they have the aura of the protagonist of more than a thousand people, they are finally defeated by the aura of the protagonist of the other party. Bradley was also shocked to hear this.

The two of them then went to the hill where they had been fighting for many days to inspect, and the patchwork of traps showed that its layout was very professional. There is even a vegetable field on the side, and those who can grow vegetables in this situation must have an extremely far-reaching strategic vision.

Bradley sighed: "It's a pity that such a talent, only by dying, is the greatest contribution to us." ”

"So what do we do next?" asked Robles.

Bradley was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Find a way to find out who he is, bribe the bard, and use public opinion to blacken him first, and you can't let him be reused!"

Robles nodded in agreement, and the two stepped into the cave. Suddenly, I saw two lines of words engraved on the wall of the cave: "The war of great powers cannot be fought due to the forbidden spell kidnapping." There are always people who try to secretly play tricks and try to make the country unstable. But have you ever wondered if one day the truth comes out to light, and whether you are ready to bear our wrath!"

The two of them were shocked, because this text was the text of the Lane Empire, and it was obviously written for them to read!

"Because of the lack of thought hall!" Bradley muttered, "because of the lack of thought hall!" (to be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
