The work of regrouping the reserves was much more difficult than imagined, and it did not end until the sun went down. Tens of thousands of rookie recruits crowded the barracks, and hunger and anxiety gradually evolved into emotional loss of control over time.

For some reason, the two strong men suddenly fought together, which immediately caused a wave of chaos in the crowd. The soldiers who maintained order rushed up with horsewhips and whipped their heads and faces, causing the two of them to cry and cry wolves. The same disputes and chaos arose in every barracks, and the escalating situation made the soldiers somewhat helpless.

In the territories of the feudal nobility, the private mercenaries who were recruited could go directly to the battlefield. In many cases, wars between lords are nothing more than a numbers game of human and financial resources. But in Istalen's military discipline, such unruly reserves enter the military sequence only at the most critical juncture of the war. For professional soldiers, these rookies who have never seen blood rush into the market will drag themselves down.

Not only the conscripted mercenaries, but also the soldiers of the security brigade had the same doubts, and in the military education they had endured, the Isttalon soldiers at this time were strong and had not yet started the war, and there was no reason to enter the most urgent state of war mobilization in advance.

The officers and soldiers at the bottom did not know the current situation, they only saw the giant locusts flying in the sky, but they did not know that the Landwalker and the Cursed Sect had come to the north gate at the same time. And the top military officials who know the truth are anxious at the moment, and they are not in the mood to give any explanation below.

All the combat experience known to mankind pales in the face of the alien races and plagues of the underground. No one knows how to respond to the threat posed by either side.

"Boss, are we going to lay the floor?" Kevin asked, touching his stomach and sighing. The military order was urgent, and everyone didn't have time to pack up, and I was afraid that they could only camp collectively in the training ground of the military camp when they saw the sky.

"Don't talk, just listen to them. El shook his head quietly. The mercenaries of the Xi tribe of the trading house sat together, surrounded by neighbors who had come together. While Captain Corson was leaving, he reluctantly gathered the men together. In the event of a real war, only by getting acquainted with each other can combat effectiveness be brought into play.

Because of the previous information, El vaguely guessed some truths in his heart, so he was more cautious about the upcoming battle. In the past, a lonely person had a bad life that was worthless, but now that he has a beloved girl waiting for him to go home, he is unwilling to put his life on the line in this inexplicable war.

Just as he was pondering how to run away with Tika, there was a sudden commotion at one end of the camp. He looked up and saw that the officers of the detachments had ridden back.

Captain Corson returned to his team with a gloomy face, he looked at his soldiers, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Romney, call all the young men in our team who can ride horses, and come with me." ”

He turned his head and said to the mercenaries he had recruited, "I need a few good horsemen, preferably those who have been on the battlefield and killed people." As long as I can come back alive, I will repay you for your military merits!"

Seeing Captain Corson's gaze turn to him, El shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Lord Corson, I'm just an ordinary country hunter. ”

"Don't pretend to be garlic, I can see at a glance who you are. Captain Corson snorted coldly, unmoved: "Either follow me, or you can roll me into the dungeon now." ”

"Twisted melons aren't sweet, sir. El grumbled, but patted his ass and stood up. With a slack face, he leaned into Captain Corson's ear and whispered, "Since you see who I am, aren't you afraid that I will shoot you in the back?"

"Phew, do you have the guts?" said Captain Corson, spitting nonchalantly, but he didn't provoke El's anger after that.

"Boss, let's go with you. Kevin leaned over and whispered with a hippie smile.

"Fuck off, you think you're going out for a stroll. El kicked him angrily, and judging by Captain Corson's cautious face, he knew that it was not so safe outside the city now.

After a round and turn, Captain Corson selected twenty soldiers and ten mercenary riders and led them all to the barracks stables to collect the horses. El staggered to the rear, and saw seven or eight small detachments similar to his own gathered over. The number of people is more or less, and the total number does not exceed three hundred.

Each squad received three horses, one for Captain Corson himself, one for his vice-captain, Romney, and the rest for El.

Immediately, some of the mercenaries in the group expressed their displeasure in a veiled manner, and El reflexively kicked off the thick bolt stake, immediately making the restless guys shut their mouths.

"I did read you right. Captain Corson tilted his head and stared at El.

"Even if you regret it now, it's too late. El stepped on his horse and smiled at Corson, "I'm the kind of person who holds a grudge. ”

Since he couldn't hide from it no matter what, he simply didn't hide it anymore. If you don't let Captain Corson realize his worth, he may be sent to be cannon fodder by this stingy guy.

"Our mission tonight is to reconnoiter the enemy. Captain Corson ignored El's provocation and called all his men together to lower his voice.

"The Kobold Ridge has dug through the underground passage, and a lot of underground creatures have rushed out. Four of our seven outposts in the forest to the north have fallen, and the city guards have rushed to their aid. Our mission is to scout the movements of those underground creatures from the side, and the other eight detachments will operate with us. ”

"But why are we going out of the city to fight?" Romney asked, puzzled, "Why do we go out to scout at night when we have strong enough walls?"

"Underground creatures don't have the concept of day or night. Captain Corson flicked his horsewhip and smiled sinisterly, "When you wake up, maybe those monsters have crawled into the city!"

Although the news from Captain Corson is somewhat ambiguous, it is still terrifying, and it is feared that the spread of the news will cause panic among the civilian population. Elle felt that Corson might have more information in his hands, but he was obviously reluctant to reveal it to his big soldiers.

After a brief explanation of the situation, the detachments immediately set off and marched lightly along the streets all the way north.

At night, Isttalon is exceptionally silent, and the bustling night of the past is gone. The footsteps of the soldiers tread on the deserted streets, making a dull echo that sounded particularly permeating.

El rode his horse and looked in the direction of Jupiter's firm, and he knew that there must be a silly girl lying on the windowsill in that place, looking forward to it.

Although he was not completely sure of this trip, he had to survive and return to her alive for the sake of that girl.

He turned around and found that he had come to the north gate, the figures on the city wall were shaking, and some nuns wearing red maple leaf patterns could be vaguely seen coming and going. A clear and familiar wave of magic lingered directly above the city gate, shining like a bright star in the night sky.

There is also a silly girl there who fights against the plague at all costs. The light that emanated from her body grew brighter and brighter in El's true eyes, like moths swooping down on flames.

More than once, El felt the urge to save her, but he didn't know how to do it. He and she always passed by, and the worlds of the two people were so far apart that they couldn't see the point where they intersected with each other.

Is it enough to just survive? Elle asked himself, feeling that his thoughts were a little incomprehensible.

Maybe...... If I could, I could do something? for her......

Silently passing through the city gates, El couldn't help but look back again. Even though he knew that she couldn't notice himself in the group at her feet, he wanted to see if she was injured with the naked eye.

Perhaps it was some kind of coincidence that when he looked up, he saw the bright eyes under the white scarf looking down.

El was stunned for a moment, subconsciously trying to look away, but he immediately realized that it was just a moment of distraction from the girl. There was no light under the city gates, and it was impossible for her to see herself.

Smirking self-deprecatingly, El lowered his head and followed Captain Corson into the darkness outside the city.
