(612) Consciousness of Blood
"It's not good, there's an accident in the barn, and the soldiers and civilians will come with me!"
Hearing the explosion, Captain Kate rushed over with someone, and heard several explosions in succession on the way.
When they arrived at the scene, they found that a large hole had been blown out of one of the walls of the barn, and the roof had been blown up by the explosion of air, and the smoke obscured their vision, and they could only hear someone coughing in the smoke, and in the haze they could see four figures walking in it.
"Ready to shoot!" Captain Kate drew his pistol and turned on the safe.
"Don't shoot! Own! We're coming out......"
Private Muller walked out with one ear, followed by Doug with the dog and the flustered little wildcat, who relaxed a little when they saw that the commander had arrived with someone.
"What's going on inside?"
"Ahem, ahem......" MΓΌller coughed continuously, he choked very uncomfortably with the smoke of gunpowder, and walked up to the captain and said:
"Barn...... Inside the barn were clash cathar soldiers, an unknown number, lying in ambush behind haystacks, throwing grenades at us with guns in their hands. β
"Got it, you've done a good job, Third Class, now I'll take command of it myself."
"Yes, sir." Mueller stepped aside, aimed inside the barn filled with gunfire, and began to guard with guns.
"Grenadier squad! Light the fuse of the grenade and get ready to throw! β
The grenadier squad went to the front, there were more than ten people, and one of the tall and thin militiamen trembled with his hands and dropped the lit grenade to his feet, he was so frightened that he was overwhelmed for a while, and he actually sat down on the ground.
"What a fucking shit!" Captain Kate cursed, and she reacted very quickly, picked up the lit grenade and threw it inside the barn, along with the other grenadiers.
After a series of explosions, the barn was blown beyond recognition, the haystacks inside were all set on fire, and the coughing sound was heard in the smoke, and the people inside were obviously choking and unable to breathe.
"They're coming out, guns up, ready to shoot!"
Several figures were moving outward, and the rifles in their hands could be faintly seen.
"Lay down your arms!" Captain Kate shouted, but the other party did not do so, several figures staggered out with rifles, Kate angrily spat on the ground, shouting, "Fire!" β
There was a dense burst of gunfire, and hundreds of surrounding militiamen fired a volley, and all the shadows in the barn fell, not even a single groan was heard.
Mueller's squad also fired, except for one ear, he didn't dare to kill, hesitated, put his finger on the trigger guard, and didn't pull the trigger at all.
Even the battered barn had completely collapsed, and when the smoke cleared, the corpses of six people could be seen in the ruins, all dressed in cathar uniforms, covered with bullet holes, and blood staining the straw beneath them.
"Well done everyone, but we can't relax yet, now, reload ammo!"
The militia began to clumsily remove the loading rods, which were extremely slow to reload, and Captain Kate did not rebuke them too much, after all, these people had only been trained in the military for a week, and they were already very good at shooting.
The status of the members of the rookie squad is different,
Doug stretched out his hand to soothe the restless dog, Muller was the fastest to reload, and soon loaded the second rifle round, and the little wildcat was in a hurry, still stabbing the barrel with the loading lever, and one ear was standing in place.
Captain Kate walked up to him, "Why don't you listen to my orders, one who lacks ears?" β
"Huh?" One ear replied with some confusion.
"Don't you understand? I'm speaking Solan, your native language!
I ask you again, why don't you listen to my orders! I just asked everyone to shoot, but you sleepwalked with a gun! β
One ear took a few steps back: "I...... I don't want to be the murderer of my countrymen! β
"These cathar soldiers came out with guns and wanted to come to us desperately! You're all an excuse! Captain Kate ruthlessly exposed the other party: "You are cowardly!
You don't dare to kill! If I report this to the court-martials of your Solans, you'll go to jail!" β
As soon as he heard this word, one ear immediately panicked:
"Don't ...... No! I don't want to go back to my cell! It's not a place for people......"
Kate didn't hide her contemptuous gaze: "Look at you! What about the ruthlessness? Didn't you say that you were in prison and were not afraid of the heavens and the earth? pretends to be a ruthless person, but in fact he is a bad seed! β
"...... You stinky lady of Valsta, I'll ......" pointed the muzzle of the gun at the instructor in one ear.
"Don't do anything stupid!" Mueller shouted, "Stop! β
Captain Kate walked towards the muzzle of the black hole, her expression contemptuous to the extreme: "Come on, earless coward, I don't believe you dare to shoot." β
She snatched the rifle with her strong arm, kicked one ear to the ground, and then expertly unloaded the sleeve bayonet from the muzzle and threw it on one ear.
"It just so happens that there's a cultist here who isn't dead, and you use a bayonet to free him, and then I'll act as if it didn't happen, what?"
The wounded soldier was crushed under a wooden beam, his brown eyes staring at the sky in horror, and his palms covering his torn belly, but he could not stop the intestines from flowing out.
"No...... I can't...... Please stop pushing me...... "One ear looked at the bayonet, and then at the dying wounded soldier, and actually began to cry, apparently already broken,
"You have to kill him to prove your position." Captain Kate was still aggressive: "I taught you how to use the bayonet at the training ground, it's very simple, repeat it. β
"Stab people with the pointed end ......."
"That's right, since you haven't forgotten, let's do it!" She drew her pistol and pointed it at the head of one ear:
"Give you ten seconds, and if you don't, I'll shoot."
Standing up with a trembling ear, he reluctantly picked up the bayonet, a mass-produced spear that was just a sharp triangle, frozen by the cold wind outside, and he held it in his hand like a hot potato.
β5β¦β¦ 4β¦β¦ 3. Hurry up, I'm really going to shoot. β
When Captain Kate counted to two, he roared in one ear and stabbed the wounded soldier in the chest, stopping his heart and immediately making him breathe.
"Congratulations, young man Solan who lacks ears, everyone's first time is not easy, after all, taking someone's life is not as simple as stepping on an ant,
You should be glad that it wasn't you who died, and slowly get used to this feeling until you die in battle. β
Captain Kate patted the other party on the shoulder: "The battlefield is about life and death, Solan people, pick up your rifle, the rifle is the life of a soldier, you better take it as a wife, you have to hold it when you sleep,
Mark my words, be decisive when you see the enemy, and if you hesitate next time, I will kill you! β
The deputy company commander, Second Lieutenant Charlie, who was the deputy of Instructor Kate, wore a medal on his chest, and was also a Valstad veteran, and he whispered into the ears of his fellow countrymen:
"Hehe, these Solan hillbillies, what a bunch of cowards, they thought they were shooting targets with slingshots in a country playground, and it wasn't that easy to kill a big living person!
Captain Kate put the pistol in the holster:
"Militia company! Let's go!
Leave the bodies of these voodoo cultists where they are, someone will deal with them, and we'll continue to follow the big army! β
After the others left, the other three members of the rookie team gathered around and lifted one ear with a broken expression.
Mueller cleaned the blood from the bayonet with a handful of straw, put it back on the rifle, and returned it to its rightful owner.
"Grab your rifle and go, if you don't keep up, you'll be left behind."
"Thank you for ......"
"What are you talking about, the three of us are partners!" Mueller said with a smile.
