Chapter 21: The Beast
Sunlight streamed through the iron bars overhead, bringing a touch of warmth to the dark, damp cell.
A cacophony of grinding echoed through the room.
Victor, who was strong and fierce-eyed, was bored with his fingernails picking at the ground, and the bluestone slab had already been cut out of a pit by him.
Looking at it that way, if you have enough time, you shouldn't have a problem picking up a three-bedroom apartment.
Although not as strong as Victor, the sturdy James opened his eyes impatiently: "Victor, do you still want to dig a tunnel to escape?" ”
Victor withdrew his hand nonchalantly and pointed to the collar around his neck, "With this thing, we can't walk if we dig it out." ”
"Now that you know, can you be quiet?"
James was speechless, knowing that he was wasting his efforts, why couldn't he be quieter.
"Isn't it boring, manicure."
As soon as Victor finished speaking, a voice came from overhead.
"If you're bored, why don't you do something for me?"
James and Victor glanced up at the same time.
A somewhat balding officer looked at them condescendingly.
Colonel Claude looked at the two monsters in the cell at his feet, and the image of himself at the award ceremony appeared in his mind, and a smug smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
In his plan, these two monsters will be absolutely ecstatic to see him, becoming his most loyal subordinates, helping him to achieve great feats.
Because ~ now only you can save them.
Outcome......
James and Victor rolled their eyes.
"Victor, did you hear a dog barking just now?"
Victor tilted his head and joked, "Dog? No, I only saw a little mouse, oh ~ some bald little mice. ”
"The dog was also a little bald." James didn't seem to agree with Victor's words, "Rats aren't that big, and rats aren't bald." ”
"Who said rats don't go bald, isn't there one there?"
Victor lifted his hand and pointed to the top of his head.
James looked up, leaned back, and made an exaggerated expression: "Oh, there's such a big bald mouse." ”
Brigadier Claude listened to the sound coming from under his feet, his face turned blue, and he stomped his foot hard.
Bang dang~
"James, I know you have grievances, but I also have no choice, I have my own grievances." Squatting down, Claude smiled again, "But as long as you promise me one thing, I can let you go now." ”
Hearing Claude's quibble, Victor stood up with an angry face, baring his teeth and baring his fangs.
"Victor."
Glancing at James, Victor ended up saying nothing and hiding himself in the shadows.
"Colonel Claude, if you're going to let us out, will you have us locked up?" James stared at Claude above and said lightly.
Claude calmed the anger in his heart and put on a sincere face.
"I think you're mistaken, James. Your abilities are obvious to all, you have contributed a lot to the Allies, and without you, we would probably be the only failed unit in the Allies. Claude first praised the two of them, affirmed their merits, and then changed the conversation, "But ~ you are so special, everyone is afraid of you, although your merits are undeniable, but we are an army, a whole, I can't just consider your feelings, I need to consider everyone." ”
"And that's what you're thinking about for us?"
With a bang, James raised his hands and stretched out into the sun, the cold chains glowing coldly in the sunlight.
"I need to give everyone an account." Claude looked at James guiltily, and then brought up the suggestion just now, "But as long as you promise me one thing, I can release you now, how about it?" Think about it. ”
"We promise you."
Victor in the shadows suddenly spoke.
"Victor, you still believe him?" James was incredible.
"James, do you want to stay in this dark and damp place for the rest of your life?"
Victor only convinces James with just one sentence.
A smug smile appeared on Claude's face, and as he expected, no one could refuse the temptation of freedom.
******
Burst~
Sharp bone spurs pierced from behind the enemy, and the blood-spitting soldier glanced at the hideous man in horror, and then fell to the ground weakly.
Boom boom boom~
Tutu Tu Tu ~ Explosions and gunfire came and went.
The enemy's weapons were more advanced and better equipped than those of the Allies, and it stands to reason that they should have an overwhelming advantage.
However, in the presence of James and Victor, the enemy's weapons lost their proper role.
The two broke through the enemy's line of defense under round after round of artillery fire, and stabbed the enemy in the abdomen.
James and Victor drew the vast majority of the enemy's firepower, allowing the Allies to advance quickly, and the enemy was better equipped but not as numerous as the Allies.
In close combat, the crowd tactic exerted its due power.
"Hahaha~ Lieutenant James, Lieutenant Victor, you guys are amazing."
Claude excitedly patted James and Victor on the shoulder.
Since convincing the two monsters to do something for themselves, Claude's forces have changed their tide and have made their way forward, destroying seven enemy bases in a month.
You know, a month ago, your own troops were defeated by that mysterious Imperial army.
If it weren't for the limited number of opponents, his troops would have been routed long ago, and he himself would have been court-martialed.
However, now it is completely different, not only did he take back what he lost, but also destroyed seven bases of the other party in a row, and it was appropriate for his epaulette to become a star with this credit alone.
All thanks to his own discernment, he tamed the two beasts.
"Claude, when will you be able to fulfill your promise?"
Being praised by the commander didn't make James much excited, since the two of them exposed their abilities, they had been ostracized in this barracks, and every time they charged, it was himself and Victor who were alone, machine gun fire, shell bombardment, and even half of his body was killed by a single shot of that glowing weapon.
Although they can't die, they will hurt.
This kind of stupid rush to get shot, James is tired of it now.
"Haha, my friend, don't worry, what I promised will definitely be fulfilled." Claude affectionately stepped forward and put his arm around James's shoulders and walked towards his command tent.
Walking into the tent, there is a huge map with red lines on it.
Arriving at the map, Claude pointed to a prominent marker on it and said, "If you help me take this place, I'll keep my promise." “
James and Victor looked at each other, then nodded, "I hope the colonel will keep his promise." ”
Claude smiled: "Of course, I won't break my word. ”
When James and Victor left the camp, Claude's face suddenly fell, and he showed a disdainful smile, and said to the adjutant on the side: "Bud, you said that if the dog is disobedient, what should the owner do?" ”
The adjutant named Bard smiled: "Sir, I have never had a dog, but I have a distant relative who is a circus, and he told me that no matter how fierce the beast is, it will be obedient under the whip of its master." ”
"Really?" Claude smiled coldly.
Let James and Victor go?
Is Claude stupid?
That's the guarantee of two more stars on his shoulders in the future.
Hearing about the creation of a super-soldier in the rear, Claude just wanted to laugh at this.
The real super soldier is in his own hands, and that Captain America is a begging.
Previously, because of consecutive defeats, he almost went to court-martial, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and could only use lies to temporarily appease the two.
Now that the crisis is over, it's time for them to know who the real masters are.
