Fifty-third return safely

Fearful, Resor walked along the path, not only did he not find any pursuers, but he also lost the guard posts that he could usually see, and it took him a long time to walk slowly, until he reached the battlefield in front of the fortress, and then he stopped and rested again

"Walking through the small hill in front of you is the battlefield, according to the time, it should be afternoon now, there should be a battle going on now, I hope it won't be too chaotic and I can sneak back."

Rayser appeased the queen, and crawled up the small uphill to see the situation first, slowly climbed to the top of the uphill, and wanted to listen to the ground, thinking that the chaotic battlefield result was quiet, and the puzzled Lesser stretched out his head a little, and the battlefield that should have been chaotic turned out to be no one

'Did you take a nap in any situation?, I don't think the fortress was used to that?'

I thought it was just a delay or a change in military plans, but Rayser waited for a long time and still heard the sound of war drums on both sides, and the puzzled Rayser called the queen to secretly approach the fortress along the edge of the battlefield, although he was very puzzled, but it was a good thing to be able to come back safely, and when Rayser approached the fortress gate, a crossbow arrow was shot at Rayser's feet

"What people!!"

On the tower of the fortress there were several vigilant men, armed with bows and crossbows, facing Lesser

"I'm from the Fortress Reconnaissance Battalion"

Looking at the local military uniform on the castle tower, Lesser's face was full of distrust, and he immediately notified the battalion officer on duty, and the battalion officer heard that there was a man in an enemy military uniform at the city gate, and immediately summoned his subordinates to open the city gate

Reeser looked at the slowly opening city gate, thought that he could go back to the camp to rest, but rushed out of the city gate A group of cavalry, and immediately surrounded Reeser in the middle, looking at the spear that was about to reach in front of his nose, Reeser raised his hands helplessly, and then an officer walked out of the middle of the cavalry, the officer looked at Reeser strangely, and finally found the corresponding face in his memory

"You're Rayser Money?"

"You know me?"

"It's really you, I thought when I saw your black hair, you forgot that I took you out of the warrior camp"

Resor listened to the officer's answer, and finally saw his relatives, and the officer told his subordinates to retreat, and all the cavalry retreated to the city in an orderly manner, and the officer kindly brought Lesser back

"Why are you wearing enemy clothes, didn't you go to the reconnaissance battalion? How did you come back from outside?"

"Alas, the troops of the reconnaissance battalion were ambushed and in distress, and I went to reinforce but was captured, and after escaping, I have only come back in circles."

The officer didn't ask when he saw that Lesser was tired, and Lesser found that many of the soldiers around him were taking a nap, and some of them were even very leisurely, which he thought was very strange

"That big brother, can I ask why I didn't fight today"

"Don't you know? News came from the rear of the enemy, and I don't know how the enemy's food and grass supply was burned this month, and as a result, the general of the fortress opposite had to stop the routine war of attrition, and I am afraid that there will be no war for several months."

"The grain and grass were burned?!"

Lesser's face was full of doubts, didn't the grain and grass just arrive at the camp under his nose?

'The enthusiastic knight was fine when he ran, did Dumonka burn the grain and grass himself?'

But some things are such a coincidence, and the reason for this is that Dumonka really burned the grain and grass, and Lesser would not know that he had made a disaster, so that this battlefield that never stopped dying, known as the Death Execution Table, was peaceful for a few months

Reeser couldn't understand and scratch his head, so he went back to the camp on his own, and the reconnaissance battalion reported the news of the Lonba's squad in distress, thinking that he could wait for the reinforcement order from the military department, but the military department replied that there was no idle combat unit to refuse, and all the soldiers in the reconnaissance battalion were anxiously waiting for Reiser to save Lomba safely, but after waiting for a day and a night without waiting for Lyser to come back, some of the old soldiers sadly retreated the armor that had been armed, because it was already expected that something would happen if they hadn't come back for so long, and they had pity their brothers for so many years

However, the reconnaissance battalion knew that there was no war in the near future, but there was a faint sadness in the pension camp that was supposed to be celebrated, and at this time, a person came from the direction of the inner city, wearing the uniform of the enemy army, and all the people in the camp immediately became alert, didn't they say that there was no battle in the near future? How could there be an enemy coming out of the fortress, could it be the enemy's strategy, the fortress was broken by a sneak attack and lost

As the figures kept approaching, a veteran finally saw the black-haired Resor and the scarred queen

"It's Lesser and the Queen! they're back, they're back."

With a shout, the camp was filled with new hope, and Rayser's return meant that he had succeeded, and he rescued Lomba back, but as Rayser continued to approach and find that he was the only one who came back, from a little joy to sadness again, Rayser came to the camp and looked at a pair of expectant eyes, how much they wanted to hear the good news from Rayser's mouth, but Rayser sighed and was very helpless

"I'm sorry everyone, I couldn't save Lomba"

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, these veterans who have been with Lomba for many years can no longer suppress the tears in their eyes, silent tears are permeated in the reconnaissance camp, they are all soldiers, they are all ordinary people, they shed tears for their brothers, they do not cry for death

Resor felt ashamed that he was not able to save Lomba, and in the end he could only watch him die in front of his eyes, the uncle who had taken care of him for more than a year, the veteran who pulled him out of the darkness and blood

Finally, a middle-aged soldier came out of the team, his name was Old Gray and Lomba was also a fellow countryman, the two had enlisted in the army and experienced the war together, he walked up to Lesser and solemnly grabbed Lesser's shoulder

"It's good if the child comes back fine, if you have something to do with the queen, Lomba will blame us for his death"

"Uncle Gray, I'm sorry, I can only set up a tombstone for Longba, but fortunately, the other party also respects them and buries them, just in the grove in the southwest"

The soldier patted Lesser on the shoulder and told him to go back to a good rest, then turned and yelled at all the soldiers who were still crying

"Everyone stands up and salutes to the Southwest!!"

The soldiers, who were still weeping, obeyed the order, and saluted in the southwest direction with their right hands clenched into fists against their chests with knightly etiquette, and after a long time, the veteran gave the order again

"Salute Rayser!!"

"Old Uncle Gray, don't be like this, I'm already ashamed that I didn't save them, don't salute me again"

Rayser hurriedly stopped everyone who wanted to salute, but Old Ash stopped Rayser

"We don't do anything else, we veterans know that there is no tomorrow when we are soldiers, and the only thing that can be comforted is that when I fall, there is a tombstone to record my name, so that others can know that there is a soldier here, and we thank you for setting up a tombstone for Lomba"

After saying that, despite Lesser's objections, everyone bowed to Rayser, this may be the etiquette between soldiers and soldiers, only respect and inheritance, the deceased has already believed that Lomba is the unforgettable chief, kind uncle, and slippery veteran for the entire camp
