Three or four days have passed in a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiao sat in the stands in the center of the school field, looking at the militiamen who were constantly training in front of him, in the late autumn sun, their sweat seemed to shine with the most moving light, Zhang Xiao knew that this was a sign that a group was transforming.

Since that fire drill, Zhang Xiao's life has been relatively stable, everything planned is being carried out in an orderly manner, reporting the "banditry" in the town and explaining that the tax cannot be paid on time.

Of course, in the past few days, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but worry about Cross who escaped that night, although the direction of Cross's escape was a mountain forest, in this era when the lighting conditions were not perfect, the mountains and forests must also be rampant with wild beasts, and that Cross would die in that mountain forest without accident.

But Zhang Xiao always had some bad premonitions about this kind of uncontrollable thing, shook his head, and Zhang Xiao tried to put those troubles in his heart behind.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil, and the big deal is to fall into the grass. At this time, there was no one around Zhang Xiao, and Zhang Xiao muttered alone.

"Captain, Captain!" Just when Zhang Xiao continued to ponder, Little Hillman's voice appeared on the other side of the school field, and even the militiamen in training had a few sideways glances at Little Hillman, and what was waiting for them was naturally the severe punishment of the team leader, such as squatting exercises, push-ups, etc., which had already been pediatric in the training of the past few days.

"Master, it's me, old Hillman!" Before little Hillman could continue, a middle-aged man's figure jumped out from behind him and rushed to Zhang Xiao's stands, as if he couldn't wait.

Seeing that the old Hillman was so urgent, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but subconsciously shudder, if it weren't for the fact that this thing already had a son, he would have thought that this old Hillman was an old glass.

Zhang Xiao was still secretly discussing Old Hillman's gaffe, but soon Zhang Xiao realized the seriousness of the matter, because he saw the heavily armed "semi-motorized donkey cavalry squad" being nervously guarding around the school yard at this time.

It stands to reason that the only person who has the authority to make the "semi-motorized donkey cavalry squad" fully armed, except for Zhang Xiao, is the only one in the entire militia team that he has authorized.

Looking at the old Hillman who was snoring and panting under the stands, Zhang Xiao couldn't help frowning, Zhang Xiao was very dissatisfied with the handling of this matter by Hillman and his son, because their handling method had caused the instability of the militia team's morale, and the heavily armed "semi-motorized donkey cavalry squad" made the atmosphere at this time extremely tense.

Seeing that this old Hillman couldn't say a reason for the time being, Zhang Xiao was not in a hurry, but just laughed softly: "Old Hillman, you see what you are anxious about, what can't you say slowly? Little Hillman, why don't you take your father to my camp to rest for a while, I'll come over immediately." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiao also gently patted the old Hillman's shoulder to appease, and then waved his hand to signal the little Hillman to take the old Hillman to his camp to discuss matters, I have to say that Zhang Xiao's team is still too immature and lacks enough experience and talents.

After the Hillman father and son had been separated, Zhang Xiao then called Alonso, because considering that it was close to the end of the training at this time, and it seemed that some emergencies might occur, in order to preserve physical strength, Zhang Xiao decided to let Alonso lead these militiamen back to the camp in advance, and those heavily armed "semi-motorized donkey cavalry squad" Zhang Xiao asked them to quickly go to their camp tent to assemble, ready to maneuver at any time.

To put it bluntly, seeing that the situation was wrong, he immediately ran away with the donkey cavalry, and after arranging most of the things of the militia, Zhang Xiao walked to his camp with full thoughts, and Zhang Xiao guessed many possibilities in his heart on this short road, such as Cross was alive to expose him, or this time it was not the militia who came to suppress the bandits, but the guards in the province or even the professional regiment of the Paraven Province.

But no matter what happened, Zhang Xiao had no way to retreat to escape what was about to happen, and after entering the camp, Zhang Xiao still had a light smile on his face, which was also a requirement he had for himself, and the superior must not be happy.

"Old Hillman, what happened to make you so anxious?" Zhang Xiao asked patiently while sitting on the main seat.

"Back to the master, you asked me to go to Lieyuan Town to find out about the situation of the militia in the town, but just a few days ago, I heard that there were bandits near our Yi Village and Daleng Village, and many people died. Old Hillman said to himself about the information he had found: "I heard that the mayor of the town was very scared, and he sent someone to Parabun Province overnight to ask for help, in fact, the little one has also learned about the militia team in the town in the past few days, and the mayor of the town has eaten empty salaries and swallowed armaments in recent years, and the militia team is now just the family team of the mayor of the town, only twenty or thirty people, and it is okay to do evil in the town at ordinary times, how can they fight?"

"Isn't this a good thing? Recently, as the Parabun Provincial Debriefing Conference approaches, every mayor of the town will also have to examine and evaluate, and at this time, the Parabun Provincial side will definitely ignore it, sit back and see how the mayor handles it, and finally decide on the results of the appraisal when the debriefing is made, and now that the war in the north is urgent, I estimate that most of the troops in the Parabun Province have been transferred, and it should be impossible for the provincial side to send troops down. ”

But those who died near Daleng Village are said to be people with mercenary groups, don't you know, there is only one mercenary group called Tailuo in our town, and this mercenary group is from the provincial city to escort the goods, this time their brother went out to deliver letters, but it happened that he died near our village, and now those mercenaries are shouting to come here to suppress bandits, by the way, to see if the villagers are suspected of collaborating with the enemy. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiao said this, it was immediately clear that it was this mercenary group that found out that its members were killed by bandits, and planned to take revenge by the way to come to Yicun and Daleng Village to fight tooth sacrifices, after all, when the incident happened, they could be said to be the bandits, as long as their hands and feet were clean.

This is indeed a big trouble for Zhang Xiao, these mercenaries are not like those militiamen, they travel all year round in terms of physical fitness and courage are not comparable to them: "Old Hillman, do you know how many of them there are?"

"About 50 people. Old Hillman didn't hesitate to say the answer.

"Well, I probably have a number, so do you know when they will leave?" Zhang Xiao continued to ask, after all, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles.

At this time, little Hillman suddenly interjected: "Captain, I am here to report this matter to you, just now the three brothers of our group were patrolling nearby, and then met a mercenary, he seems to be very interesting to our donkeys, but he is also very jealous of our large number of people, he asked about some things and then left sneakily, but it is said that what was revealed from his mouth means that these donkeys will be owned by their mercenary group sooner or later in two days." ”

As soon as Little Hillman said this, Zhang Xiao immediately made it clear, no wonder Little Hillman actually had to take all the "semi-motorized donkey cavalry squads" fully armed at the beginning, it turned out that these mercenaries were probably already nearby.
