On December 1st, the weather had already begun to turn cold, and although the vicinity of Saka City was full of grasslands, there was no grass to grow in winter, and it turned into a wilderness as far as the eye could see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere are only a few cattle and sheep in the wilderness looking for a small number of yellowing grasses, the original large pasture has already been harvested, waiting for the next spring to produce new grass, and the winter season is always synonymous with withering and withering.

Every year, veterans will choose to retire today, which is also a practice for decades, and this is also a time when all armies have a headache every year. Basically, around the beginning of November, the veterans who were about to be discharged from the army had already begun to stop working and were about to leave, and the rest of the army was no longer embarrassed to let them do things.

Of course, the discipline of the departing veterans is lax, and the training does not mean much to them, and they will try not to arrange them for standing guards, so that they can keep on time. Everyone can understand this situation, after all, everyone will retire one day, and when they retire one day, they will be arranged to do this and that, which is undoubtedly not in a good mood.

Of course, understanding is understanding, and the style of the veteran will inevitably affect others, leading to a certain degree of looseness of the entire barracks. A similar situation occurs in almost every barracks with retired veterans, and only Kevin does not have it, because Kevin has only one person.

On this day, the veteran officially left, and according to the decree, he took off his military uniform and handed over some other equipment, such as swords and shields. For this regulation, many retired soldiers are a little heartbroken, swords and shields are their partners in the military for several years, but also their future nostalgia, it is often recommended not to turn in, the army is not short of this weapon.

Unfortunately, there are laws in China, but it does not mean that there is no way. As long as a soldier can make meritorious service and be rewarded, and the state gives him a knighthood, he can naturally use the weapons in the title. If there is really no merit and no reward, you can only spend money. Offensive weapons such as swords and guns are inevitably not given, but defensive weapons such as shields and armor can still be accommodating for a small amount of money, and it can be regarded as a souvenir in the future.

At the same time, there are also some elderly horses. If the soldier's family has money, he can bring the horse back and continue to raise it, and for the cavalry, there is also affection for being with the horse for a long time. If no one adopts them, the horses that reach the age will be transferred to the back office or to commercial units.

At present, no parrots can be retired, the relevant laws and regulations have not kept up, and everyone does not know how to settle parrots after they retire. When a parrot has intelligence, it can naturally commit some highly intelligent crimes, but how should these be punished? Are they all the same as humans? It seems impossible.

And the key problem is that for the time being, it is not possible to directly distinguish between a wise parrot and an unenlightened parrot. To put it simply, if the Kaizhi Parrot wants to pretend to be stupid, theoretically, as long as its acting skills are sufficient, the Terrans have no way to tell the difference. In fact, not to mention birds, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish when people pretend to be stupid.

Early in the morning, Kevin finally tried to take his crow out of the house, and after raising it for so many days, he and Kevin are also close, so they shouldn't fly away immediately, right?

With this in mind, Kevin didn't pull any more rope on the crow's leg, if it really opened the door and flew away, then Kevin would be considered a vain, but it was not a big deal.

As soon as the door opened, the crow immediately rushed out like an arrow, hovered rapidly in the air, and finally stopped on the roof of the barracks, crying happily: "Ahhhhh......h

This is not surprising to Kevin, after all, the crow has been locked in the house for a long time, and even people will be a little excited when they go out, just to see if it will come back.

"Where did the crow come from?" the parrot in the air immediately pounced and stopped directly next to the crow, "Where did you come from?"

Kevin hurriedly spoke below: "Mine, I raised." "It's not loud, but the injury is still not good.

The parrot immediately spoke: "Is it true? You must know that no other birds are allowed to fly in the sky above the barracks, and we will drive away once they appear, what if it is an enemy country's demons?"

"That...... Come back, don't run around!" Kevin hurriedly tried to recall the crow, took out a piece of meat and let it go. If the crow ignores it this time, I'm afraid it will really be enchanted by the enemy country on the spot. Crows are not rare animals, and the Knights of Thunder are also iron-blooded policies, so they will basically not be polite.

Thankfully, this time the crow finally recovered its intelligence, and it slid rapidly down the barracks, all the way back to Kevin's hand, and pecked at the piece of meat. Seeing that it was really Kevin's demon, the parrot didn't say anything, and flew off to continue the patrol.

Kevin immediately warned: "Don't run around! Don't scream! Your scream is unlucky to others, and now the veteran retires, don't look for trouble." ”

The crow ignored it, paused on Kevin's shoulder for a moment, and flew away again, this time even over the wall, out of Kevin's field of vision.

Kevin wanted to shout, but felt a pain in his chest, so he could only shake his head helplessly, hoping that the crow would come back.

At this time, the barracks was already full of retired veterans in civilian clothes, as if a group of civilians had mixed in. The veterans walked around to say their final goodbyes to the places where they had been born and died for years, and there were also many veterans chatting with other soldiers who still remained.

Some people are lonely, some people are sad, some people are crying, but there are no people who laugh. Separation is always full of reluctance and pain, even if we don't have many opportunities to be born and die together in the era of peace, but after all, we have been trained together and practiced hard together so far, and this emotion is still heavy. Of course, there are always people who don't like each other, or who want to walk for a long time and finally wait for today, but even if they are happy, they can't laugh when the environment is sad.

Kevin casually went to the repair shop, looking around to see where the crows had gone, but to no avail. I can only come and talk to the old man of the repair shop, the 45-year-old veteran has not been able to retire this year.

Seeing that the recruits who were more than 20 years younger than him were starting to retire at this time, the mood was undoubtedly melancholy, and when Kevin saw him, he was sitting on the steps drinking, and he looked a little lonely. Of course, strictly speaking, it is not allowed to drink alcohol privately during the day in the barracks, except for banquets, but because he is too old, he can ignore it.

Kevin stepped forward to talk to him for a while, after all, Kevin's five pairs of weight-bearing wheel catapults were mostly done by him, for which Kevin must express his gratitude.

Lao Te also heard some things about Kevin, why single-handedly two Smida 6th order masters and the like, the rumors will always be a little distorted after a long time, Kevin also expressed his clarification. Speaking of which, Smitta's country has not yet paid the 100,000 gold coins, and it is said that they plan to pay 30,000 yuan first, and then 70,000 yuan in installments. Lou Baole accepted this payment method, but insisted on releasing the person after paying all the money, and there was never a statement that he would pay 50,000 yuan and release one person first.

Lao Teh despised this very much, and he didn't seem to have a good impression of Smitta, although he hadn't been there, but at least he had heard a lot. Kevin was personally kidnapped by Smitta's masters, so naturally he didn't have a good impression of him, but in line with the principle of objectivity, Kevin still tried to find some advantages.

At least Kevin once saw a Smith Chinese with an extremely cheerful smile and an extremely cheerful smile, and Kevin was so impressed by this that he even deliberately drew it and made it into the cover of his novel. Even if you disdain its country, there are some advantages that have to be admitted, and that is objectivity.

After chatting for a while, Kevin came out of the repair shop, passed by the cafeteria, and finally saw his crow, who was actually beating a pug like crazy. This pug is raised and played in the canteen, untrained, and has no special abilities, just eats the remaining bones in the canteen all day long, bored and lives day after day, basking in the sun during the day and the moon at night.

And today, the pug finally met a fierce enemy, and the crow frantically pulled at its tail. The pug spun in circles frantically, trying to turn around and catch the crow, but the crow was more agile, and went along with it, still pulling the pug's tail again and again, and the pug sometimes passed on and sometimes reversed, but it was useless, and the barking was helpless.

"Come back!" Kevin reluctantly took out the meat again, but this time it didn't work for the crow.

Kevin looked down and saw a lot of meat in a dog bowl on the ground, obviously more than Kevin's hand. Could it be that the crow has taken a fancy to the dog's food and wants to snatch it?

Kevin thought for a moment, stepped forward and picked up the dog basin, letting go of his hand to attract crows. The crow noticed, and then quickly broke away from the pug, flew all the way to Kevin's hand, and pecked at the meat in the basin at will. The pug gasped and looked at Kevin cautiously, not daring to step forward.

Suddenly, a soldier came out of the cafeteria and saluted Kevin: "Sir, please return the dog basin to me." ”

Kevin was a little embarrassed and casually handed the dog bowl to the soldier. But unexpectedly, the crow jumped on the soldier's hand at random and continued to peck at the pieces of meat. The soldier was at a loss, the first time he encountered this situation, he was a little overwhelmed with a dog basin.

Kevin was helpless, and then reached out to take the dog basin in the soldier's hand, and the crow jumped back into Kevin's hand to peck at it.

Soldier: "......"

Kevin finally got angry, slapped the crow aside, and handed the dog basin to the soldier again: "Here you go, if the crow comes next time, drive it away." ”

"Yes. The soldier took the dog bowl, hurried into the cafeteria, beckoned the pug in, and closed the door. The crow flew in the air for a while, but still landed on Kevin's shoulder.

"You're really crazy, even a dog fight?" Kevin turned to look at the crow.

The crow still didn't react.

"Then I'll try to sign you up and have a fight with the parrot," Kevin asked, "Do you have any comments?"

"Well, if you don't run around during this time, then I'll sign you up, of course, it's not up to me whether they let you fight or not, do you understand?" Kevin asked again.

Still unresponsive, Kevin nodded and immediately headed for the communications department. Of course, Kevin doesn't want the crow to mate with the parrot, but he is also curious now, how good this crow can fight, at present, this crow does not seem to have lost a record, all the battles seem to be extremely easy, not even a single hair has been lost, and the strength is simply bottomless.

And along the way, the crow seemed to really understand Kevin's words, basically just jumping from Kevin's left shoulder to his right shoulder, and did not fly far at all, Kevin was also slightly puzzled in his heart.

"That...... Is this the registration office for the parrot competition?" Kevin asked all the way, and finally came to a tree, where there were already many parrots parked, and Kevin couldn't recognize which one was which, so he could only look up and ask.

"Yes, this is it. One of the parrots, which appeared to be the leader, flew down, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

"Can my pet compete?" Kevin asked directly.

"Let it do it on its own. The leader parrot replied, "The parrots who want to participate in the competition are all registered by themselves, and this kind of trivial matter does not need to be carried by the owner." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other parrots in the tree all chattered: "Hahaha, do you want the owner to bring it over?" "What a pet! What a pet!" "Wait, it doesn't seem to be a ......parrot?"

Kevin reluctantly explained: "It's not a parrot, it's not enlightened, and it can't come by itself." But it's very good at fighting, and I want to bring it over and see how good it is?"

Kevin was telling the truth, but it sounded completely provocative, and all the parrots were boiling: "The crows still dare to provoke us?" "Come here, go head-to-head!" "Come here, Lao Tzu gives you a wing." ”......

Kevin turned his head to look at his crow, only to see that it was just standing quietly, unresponsive.

"Yes," agreed the lead parrot, "but even if the crow wins, he won't have the right to mate with the parrot, and you'll only participate in a friendly match, or as an off-field game." You're not a parrot after all!"

"Okay, so be it. Kevin didn't expect things to go surprisingly smoothly and immediately agreed.

"After lunch in the afternoon, the parrot competition will begin, and there will be a large number of people coming to watch, which is kind of a show when the veterans are discharged from the army, you just bring the crows over. The leader spoke.

"Good. "Kevin actually has a lot of things he doesn't understand, but he doesn't ask much at this time. Anyway, he just wanted to see where the limits of this crow were.

By mid-afternoon, a group of people had already gathered on the playground, and Kevin had brought the crows over. A huge net has been woven on the ground, and ropes have been pulled from the edge of the city wall to hold the large net in place. In fact, the mesh of the large net is also extremely sparse, not to mention birds, even people can drill through it.

In fact, this big net is just the role of a boundary line, similar to the defeat of those who go out of bounds in the ring, and the air battle of birds naturally needs an air battle stage. The big net is almost full of parrots, and there are thousands of them, and it is estimated that this is also a big deal among parrots. Underneath are their owners cheering them on.

When Kevin arrived, the two parrots in the air had already begun to fight, hovering rapidly, flapping their wings, and looking very intense. At the same time, there were countless parrot spectators in the sky: "Get it, get it!" "Fan it!" "Idiot!", "What are you doing? Fight this thing for so long?" "Pressure, press it!" "At this level, I won't marry you." ”......

Kevin asked the people on the side, only to know that the parrot battle actually started a few days ago, but a few days ago, the parrots organized themselves, they found their own place to fight, and today is only the final. Otherwise, so many parrots are still selected to go alone, at least for a week.

After the finals, there may be some other shows, maybe the champion parrot will randomly challenge other parrots, or some parrots will fight with other parrots privately. Wise animals will inevitably have some personal grievances, and at this time it will also be a dueling platform to resolve personal grievances. Of course, these are collectively referred to as friendlies, and Kevin's Ravens will not be eligible to play until then.

"Do you understand? Don't pounce on it now!" Kevin turned to warn the crows, "If you break the rules of the game, all the parrots will come and beat you, understand?"

The crow was quiet, and Kevin couldn't help but wonder if there were too many parrots to scare it?

"Hey, that's!" said a parrot in the air as it flew down to Kevin's crow, "you go and stand on the grid over there, you're also a friendly player." ”

Raven: "......"

"Well, it's a hassle to have no intelligence!" the parrot looked up, "Come on some birds!

Suddenly, more than a dozen parrots flew down from above, and Kevin couldn't help but hold his head, and when he came back to his senses, the crows had already followed them all the way to the upper net rope. The pitch-black crow stood out in the midst of the large flock of parrots, which surprised the surrounding parrots.

"There's strange species mixed in. "There are parrots complaining.

"This one's style of painting is different from ours. "And the parrot complained.

"Big brother," the parrot said to the crow, "you have to blend in, at least paint some color, don't think we're colorblind." ”

The crow was silent, and seemed to be a little nervous.
