Chapter 13 Field Exercises

Eyes mixed with resentment glanced at the cold face of the battalion commander, and Morirella's state of mind began to change.

After a few minutes of inspection, each of the men in black nodded their heads in agreement.

"How? Whether it's the freshness of the corpse or the way it is preserved, we pay great attention to it. ”

"Indeed, you really take this deal very seriously. In exchange, we also present our stuff. ”

The woman echoed the battalion commander's words with satisfaction.

Soon, several men in black carefully arched a delicate-looking wooden box.

The wooden box is carved with intricate carvings, the lines are tortuous and irregular, and from a distance it seems to be flowing with thick blood, but up close it looks like a cloud of elegant harmony. The image of the whole wooden box is strange and elusive, and although it is incomprehensible, it makes the viewer feel creepy.

It looks a little shabby, and I don't even see any valuable orbs embedded in the box.

It is such a strange but ordinary dilapidated wooden box, but it is a treasure that the government has been thinking about for a long time.

The battalion commander stepped forward and bent over, his sophisticated eyes revealing the excitement of a child seeing a new toy.

"I was blown away by the fact that I was able to see the real thing with my own eyes."

"As long as ordinary human beings see this kind of 'artwork', it is indeed quite shocking."

"Ordinary humans......? Sure enough, you underestimated it. However, it does make sense to be called a work of art. ”

"Although it is really disrespectful to break your interest in appreciation, I still add intimately that we have not yet found a way to open this box, which I am afraid will have to be studied by the government itself."

"I see, but it's understandable – since it's called a work of art, it's also difficult to understand."

"It's great that you can understand. If you are satisfied, we are sure to deliver this treasure box to you, and we hope you are satisfied with this transaction. ”

After saying that, the man in black handed the wooden box in his hand to the battalion commander.

Holding the wooden box in those wrinkled hands, the battalion commander's joy could not be hidden at all.

At the same time, a muttering of joy came out of the mouth of the battalion commander.

"Finally got the key to killing the white-faced demon."

Even the deliberately muttered sound was still clear in the empty warehouse.

Mauriella also stared at the wooden box curiously.

What kind of wooden box is that, I always feel that there is an ominous aura in it.

This breath is mixed with a biting cold, not a cold that touches the nerves or the skin, but a chill that touches the heart. It was as if the chill was pouring into the body through the sight.

Can't look any further.

Mauriela pretended not to be interested, and turned her head.

He didn't know that his reaction was all seen by the battalion commander.

The battalion commander deliberately placed the wooden box in his hand in front of Mauriella's eyes, forcing him to stare at the box.

"Do you have any special feelings?"

For the tough action, Mauriella only felt extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful anger.

But because of the respect for the upper echelons, I had to endure it.

Said with a wry smile:

"Very nice treasures."

"Is that all? This wooden box is not an ornament for people to enjoy, it is a real 'disaster'. ”

"I don't understand...... What are you talking about"

"Don't you understand......? It seems that you are not affected by the power of Fortes. ”

As soon as the name of "Fortes" came out of the mouth of the battalion commander, all the men in black present immediately entered a state of readiness.

The three black-clothed men in front of him were also squatting slightly in vigilance, making a posture of preparation for battle towards the battalion commander.

"I can't sit idly by and ask if the retinue next to you is tainted by the power of Fortes?"

The battalion commander smiled unhurriedly.

It's better to say that it was already in his script.

"Please don't panic. I'm bringing this retinue with me for some other purpose—for your research. ”

Not only all the men in black, but even Moriella, who was the person concerned, showed a shocked expression.

Completely kept in the dark.

"Some time ago, this soldier was cursed by Fortes, and it seems that his ability can make him immortal, please take a good look-"

When it was too late, the battalion commander took out his left hand, which was originally holding the wooden box, and instead held the wooden box with his right hand. Then he pulled out the musket from his waist in his free left hand and shot Moriella in the head.

In an instant, a large amount of black mist burst out of Moriella's body, quickly protecting Moriella's head.

This scene stunned all the black-clothed people present, and the battalion commander showed a smug expression.

Such a move undoubtedly made Mauriella completely sad.

In the end, he is just an abandoned son of the battalion commander?

Unexpectedly, with a smug smile in his eyes, the battalion commander leisurely withdrew the hot musket and once again held the valuable wooden box in both hands.

"Do you think we only have these ten corpses in this transaction? As a long-term and benign cooperative relationship, we have contributed such valuable experiments that we hope you will master the capabilities of Fortes. ”

The three of them went from being stunned to smiling with satisfaction.

"Great! This is a rare ability. Even if we can't figure out what Fords is capable of, we can develop a new chance to be immortal. ”

"It's a very painful but worthwhile deal for our government."

"We can understand it, thank you very much for your patience and love."

As the woman thanked her, ten men in black teleported to Mauriella's side.

"You ...... What are you going to do!? ”

"The experimental object should look like the experimental object, please be obedient."

Ten men in black clenched Moriella's body quite unceremoniously, and the huge grip made him feel the pressure and discomfort of being restrained.

"Give...... Give me wait! I didn't say yes! Battalion...... Battalion commander! Think again! ”

"I am grateful for your contributions since joining the army, and don't you also feel guilty for the dead brothers of the third detachment? Now is your best chance to atone for your sins and to be loyal to your revered government. ”

"No...... No! That's not the way I want to atone! ”

Mauriela desperately broke free from the black-clad man's oppression, and at the same time cried out in resentment.

"Here, I thank you on behalf of the government! I will also take care of your family, so you can go with confidence. ”

"No ——————!"

Helplessly, the strength of the ten people was really unable to break free, and they were also lifted up as pigs to be slaughtered.

His eyes were wet with tears of resentment, and his vision was blurred with tears, and yet—

The enemy who had pushed himself into hell was still clearly imprinted in the center of his sight.

The pretended reluctance of the face was mixed with a real evil smile, mocking himself as an outcast for being so ignorant.

The face that saw him leave turned out to be so ugly.

The anger that sprung up from his heart melted the face, like the distortion of a candle as it slowly dissolved.

Distorted like a devilish cicada.

The resentment in my heart is uncontrollable.

The lamb to the slaughter stopped crying for help, leaving only its shaky body still struggling.

It was not a painful plea for mercy, but the strength accumulated because of resentment, the desire to kill the battalion commander from the bottom of his heart, and the anger of hating his inability to change the situation.

Perhaps fainting due to an emotional breakdown, the figure of the battalion commander gradually disappeared. Instead, an unknown darkness covered his vision, and the nerves in his limbs lost their sense of the outside world, and he could no longer feel the slightest cold.

A trance-like figure emerged from the depths of darkness.

Wandering in disappointment and anger, Mauriela could no longer hear the outside world, but—

A familiar and terrifying voice appeared in my ear.

"Are you going to meet again so soon?" 》

Who is it......?

It is unclear whether it was because of closed eyes or deprivation of vision, Moriella was like a headless fly, helpless and helpless groping in the dark for the source of the sound.

Who the hell is it?

The weak consciousness asked itself.

Before Morirella's consciousness could return to normal, the figure moved—approaching Moriella.

Even though she was afraid, Mauriela was powerless to stay away, not even the strength to open her eyes.

He can only let the mysterious figure get close to him.

As heavy as death, Mauriella stared at the figure with bated breath.

However, as the figure approached, the mysterious answer was finally revealed.

Mauriela showed no obvious surprise, as if she had already guessed the true face of the figure.

But there is obvious dissatisfaction written on the face.

Squeezing out the physical strength that was about to collapse, Mauriela struggled to squeeze out a question full of doubts and resentment-

"Why...... Why you? ”

The sea breeze was southeast of the warehouse, and a large Chaos Sphere could be seen at night.

Five mages were placed next to the device, hovering around the Chaos Sphere.

In addition to protecting the safety of the Chaos Sphere, the job that was conveyed was to keep an eye on the movements of the white-faced demons at all times.

However, not all five of them were so dedicated.

One of the wizards couldn't stand the loneliness and boredom of standing guard.

Obviously the world-weary face of the middle-aged man was full of stubble, and the man placed the slender elemental shotgun in his arms flat on the ground, and with a slight tiredness, he randomly chose a large box of goods and sat down as a chair.

Most of the containers in the vicinity are filled with fish, and only a handful are privately held by the government.

It doesn't seem like you're going to be killed if you just sit on it.

Helpless eyes lazily look at the full moon tonight.

Although the moon is still mostly obscured by clouds, you can already feel the bright and beautiful moonlight.

With the icy sea breeze that can only be found in the harbor, the faint smell of seawater in the air, and the quiet surrounding only the crisp footsteps of iron boots walking, it is now perfect for planning the long journey of life.

However, the middle-aged soldier had no leisure at all, thinking about superfluous things.

Instead, he let out a long sigh full of fatigue.

"Alas————— tonight is a rare night with a beautiful full moon...... As a result, they were forced to call in here for patrol. ”

The complaint seemed to hit the other wizard in the sore spot.

Then another middle-aged magic guide couldn't help but laugh at himself helplessly:

"Coming here to enjoy the full moon is something special, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha......! You're really going to have fun in the middle of it. ”

The wizard who had complained at first smiled helplessly.

The two uncles complained about the same disease, and they had no dignity and dedication to the soldiers.

It's not exactly that every wizard is so lazy - the remaining three wizards didn't follow suit.

Different from the age of the first two magic soldiers, all three of them are new rookie soldiers.

Each of them has the great sentiment of defending the homeland and the country.

In the face of immature fearlessness, this helplessness is only superficially regarded as depraved laziness.

It must be corrected across the ages—thought the three young wizards.

corrected the words and deeds of the two with a serious face.

"Seniors, don't complain. We soldiers are all serving the kingdom, and when we step into the barracks, we have already dedicated everything we have to the kingdom, and there is nothing to give up on this sacrifice. ”

Listening to the childish remarks that seemed to collide with the elders, the two middle-aged demon guides were not angry.

Instead, he showed a smile that saw through everything.

"You're talking about it, young man...... But the state doesn't treat us like soldiers at all. ”

"Why do you want to devalue yourself like that? Shouldn't our fellow comrades, who are doing our best for the government, unite to repel foolish people who are trying to oppose the government? ”

"Hahahaha...... It is really worthy of a young man who has just graduated from the Demon Wizarding Academy, and no matter his tone or thoughts, he can feel the innocence of the newborn calf who is not afraid of the tiger. But I can't really blame you for that......"

"Yes, yes, after all, I have been brainwashed since I was studying in the Magic Wizard Academy."

The two middle-aged magic guides echoed each other's arguments.

Then he started laughing quietly. It sounds like the volume is deliberately lowered, but it is actually a sense of powerlessness caused by a wry smile.

However, it somewhat angered the three young demon guide soldiers.

Holding a polite tone that did not contradict his predecessors, one of the young men asked a little unhappily:

"Otherwise, what do you think we are in the eyes of the country?"

The short question made the two stop laughing.

It wasn't that he was seriously thinking about the answer to the question, but he was looking at the young magic guide soldier who was asking at the same time with a very tacit understanding.

The serious gazes of the two of them at the same time couldn't help but make the young wizard feel a little frightened.

Just when the young wizard thought that the two of them would revise their previous statement—

But it was a cruel answer that had already recognized the facts.

"It's just a pawn that can be discarded at any moment."

"On what basis do you say that?"

Disapproving eyes continued to glance at the determined ambition on his expression, and cast a cold and sarcastic gaze.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, not only mocking the innocence of his companions, but also mocking his own incompetence.

"You are just rookies, regardless of the cruelty and reality of any war, the scandal within the government alone is enough to leave an indelible pathos in your hearts."

"yes...... It's better not to know. ”

As if they were sighing the appetite of the three people, the singing of the two aroused the curiosity of the three of them.

"We won't be afraid."

"It's not a simple question of whether you're afraid or not. There are so many ugly and shady insiders that even if veterans like us have long been numb, it would still be creepy to bring it up again. ”

"Even so, we want to know that we, as members of the government, have a right to know!"

The three of them nodded one after another, and their determined eyes continued to hit the bodies of the two middle-aged demon guides.

It can be described as young and vigorous bravery.

After confirming the eyes of the three people, both of them knew that if they didn't make it clear, the lads would not give up.

The two middle-aged magic guides glanced at each other, and finally blurted out an exception.

Albeit just a brief introduction.

"Do you know how many brothers died at the hands of the battalion commander?"

"Wouldn't it be a great honor to be able to dedicate one's life to the battalion commander?"

"That's going to have to be a war death - the inside story I'm going to expose next is a fact that most veterans know, and maybe a few backs also know, but it's not worth circulating, and this must be noted."

"Are you worried we're going to say it?"

"In the barracks, you are not allowed to trust anyone, not even brothers who are born and die. You can not believe what I am going to say next, and I just agreed to your request to make an exception. ”

"Senior, just say it! We're in a hurry. ”

One of the young wizards urged impatiently.

"Well—I think you should be well aware that this arms deal is a 'routine matter', right?"

"Yes."

The three of them responded in unison.

"As rookie soldiers, you should be summoned here most often, and the cycle of arms trading is about once every two months, and three hundred new magic guides are assigned to guard the entire process of arms trading at a time. The government's intention is to hone your mind and develop your discernment – but these are only partial words. ”

"Isn't that so?"

"It sounds reasonable, but it's actually full of loopholes. The arms trade is a very dangerous activity, and regardless of the actual content of the deal, it is definitely not something that is allowed to go to the civilian population – and on this basis, how can the government feel comfortable with untrained rookie soldiers guarding it? ”

"But aren't there also two senior seniors leading us? It is regarded as a field drill on duty. ”

"Since you would regard such a dangerous arms trade as a simple field exercise, and more importantly, it proves that the rookie soldiers are not up to the duty of guarding the arms trade, and you have mentally verified the argument I just mentioned."

The young magic guide soldier who was denied was a little angry and retorted unwillingly:

"Senior, you're making too much of a fuss, aren't you? Who would dare to openly challenge the authority of the government and interfere with the arms deal? ”

"I'm not saying I'm worried about the enemy interfering with the arms deal – what the government is really worried about is that the actual content of the goods is being disseminated to the civilian population, because every transaction is an inhumane 'contraband' that is beyond common sense."

"What do you mean by contraband as a weapon of mass murder?"

"No, no, no...... It's not such a lethal thing, but it's a disgusting mental pollutant. ”

The eyes of the two middle-aged demon guides showed timid fear, as if they had seen the real natural reaction of some kind of terrifying picture.

couldn't even speak, and the truth that wanted to be said and stopped was swallowed back into the stomach by the two of them several times.

This reaction made the three of them even more curious, and they hurriedly urged the two middle-aged demon guides.
