Chapter 1503: A Calm Town (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Under the bright spring sunshine, the town not far away is extraordinarily quiet. High-quality updates.

As far as the eye can see, the houses are divided into several uniform areas by the street, with black tiles and white walls, and large green trees dotted in the middle.

You can see that this is a beautiful and rich place.

In the middle of the town, on the roof of the tallest house, stood a golden lightning banner unique to the flicker.

It's just that at this time, it looks a little weak, and after a few gentle swings in the breeze, it falls down again.

Although Yiqiē looked very calm, there were no Semitic soldiers in helmets and armor, no horses rejected, no barricades, and it was exactly the same as an ordinary residential community, and there was no sign of danger.

But Amu, a soldier in the third platoon of the 6th Company of the 71st Regiment of the 4th Division of the Free Army, carefully stood up from the waist-deep grass - if you looked closely, you would see that his current epaulettes had long since been changed from corporal to sergeant.

This meant that he was paid an extra twenty silver coins a month, and he had a few freshly baked recruit eggs with eggshells on their buttocks.

He held the latest Ka-98 manual bolt rifle produced by the Flying Eagle Military Factory, hunched over, stretched his neck, and nervously glanced at the town dozens of meters away, his fingers kept on the sheath of the board strike, ready to fire at any time.

Although the progress of the army in the past month has been extremely smooth, all the way to the city, everywhere it goes, the enemy has fled in the wind, and no one can stop it.

There was not a single organized resistance from Madorins, but that didn't mean there wasn't the slightest resistance.

Like all out-of-the-box [***] squads that penetrate among the enemy's inhabitants, the Coalition's troubles come from the Semitic people.

Occasionally, some fanatical ones, or for fear of losing their land, or by nobles who were unwilling to lose their titles, raised their swords and shouted slogans, led a dozen men, or even single-handedly, with the last vestiges of glory of the old times, and launched a charge against the army with great valor.

These heroic fools would then be shot to pieces and die for their glorious era.

Then, after a short identification process, Lei Er Ye would run over with the tax policemen armed with cannons and machine guns to confiscate their real estate, land, and the remaining wealth.

If it's just those fools, Amu and the others are not worried about this. It's not so much about fighting as about those fools who are here to seek death.

Anyway, they are also bad things, they are caught by the republican axe, and they can't escape the fate of hanging a rope around their necks and falling on a swing at the city gate.

These nobles are not very good people, but in the eyes of the coalition forces, they are still men.

But there are some insidious dogs who are superficially obedient, but secretly engage in [***] and political axe terrorist activities.

For example, poisoning, arson, or hiding in the window or grass to secretly release cold arrows at everyone, it is really too uncute.

A day earlier, an unlucky guy had fallen under a cold arrow, a young man who was unwilling to lose his title, hiding behind a window on the second floor, and attacked an unlucky guy from behind with a crossbow arrow.

The unlucky man was shot through by an arrow, and he was out of breath.

Although later the damned archer was also shot to pieces.

But who knows if there will be a second archer hiding somewhere, quietly aiming at himself?

His own life is the most important, whether it is the national flag on the coffin or the salute, it is not as good as going home alive to hug his wife and children.

"Now that I am a family person, I must be calm, calm. Amu secretly admonished himself in his heart. High-quality updates

The trip to the mountain to fight the tiger gave him the most profound lesson, he knew that his life was actually very fragile, and he had to remember what he learned in training, that was the best way to save his life.

Amu listened carefully, and when he was sure that there was no movement ahead, he leaned over, ran quickly behind another cover, and then squatted on the ground again, hid himself tightly, and then waved his hand to the people behind him.

In the violent movement, the various equipment on the body collided together, making a clanging sound.

Rami gritted his teeth and smiled mockingly, then took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and spewed a puff of smoke into Amu's face.

At this time, I heard the low order of the officer behind me: "Machine gun team, quickly put the fire point on the rack for me." ”

Amu looked to the side and noticed that on a small piece of high ground not far away, Anderson, with the help of a recruit, had racked up a Gatling gun. From this location you can control zhì small half of the town.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace of mind.

Although the mortars in the rear must have been arranged, and they are more powerful and more lethal, a single shell can blow up a house to pieces, as long as there is movement, the artillery will smash the shells hard.

But as a front-line soldier, he still felt that this Gatling was their best friend.

As long as the rhythmic 'sudden' sound sounds, it will make people feel much more at ease.

Because this weapon is the most direct support weapon on the battlefield, no matter when or what happens, they can support themselves at the first time.

The cheerful gunfire seemed to tell them: Don't worry, with me, the enemy can't rush over.

The soldiers all believed that no matter how powerful the enemy was, it would be reduced to pieces under the impenetrable rain of bullets.

Although artillery is more powerful, it is a technical branch. The old men have to wait for everyone to urge and please, this is like a new daughter-in-law's shy appearance, and maybe some fool has the wrong coordinates, and then the cannonballs will fall like eyes...... Fall on your own head.

It's not one or two of these unlucky eggs.

Although the current Semitic Free Army has only been formed for a short time, with only six regular divisions and 100,000 soldiers, it already has the prototype of a modern army, that is, they have modern weapons and unique ideas of the army.

The valiant infantrymen looked down on the artillerymen, believing that they were a bunch of soft eggs hiding behind their buttocks, very obscene and secretly shooting artillery, and eating better than themselves.

The artillerymen looked down on the Air Force, thinking that they were flying around in the air like fools and did not dare to go to the battlefield at all. He just laid eggs on the ground indiscriminately, and ate much better than himself.

The air force relied on the most cashy equipment of their time, and in turn despised the artillerymen, calling them a group of poor ghosts who could not see the rich. You must know that the air force is a gifted class, and if you are not a mage, you can't indulge in the fortress of war.

The artillerymen, on the other hand, relied on their own equipment superiority, believing that the infantry were all a bunch of stupid people who could only pull big bolts, and that they could not even beat a group of natives with spears, and they had to rely on their own artillery fire for endless fire support.

And then...... Then they all joined forces and looked down on the logisticians: they were all smugglers who knew how to steal their supplies and sell them to the peddlers at a high price.

No one in the logistics corps could look down on them, but they had to look down on their own commanders. They only stole a few packets of dry food, exchanged for some wine or something, and the whole box of officials was sold out, and the money they earned was enough for them to pack women, and then they said that they would be gone.

After seeing that the machine gun had been set up, Amu took a deep breath, and sure enough, he immediately heard the officer continue to shout: "All pay attention to vigilance, form a battle formation, and search forward." High-quality updates are here

When you see an unknown object, shoot first and then ask questions. ”

Amu looked left and right, and saw that all the comrades on both sides were slowly emerging from the grass, and their hats were still disguised with green branches.

Amu took out the cross he was wearing on his chest at the moment, and then kissed it gently, and then stood up.

When the soldier next to him saw his appearance, he immediately smiled understandingly: because everyone knew that this cross was given by his fiancée.

Then he sighed: what a lucky pup.

On the other hand, the wearing of crosses in the army was very new at the beginning, but now it has become very common among soldiers due to the preaching of the Holy See of Light.

After all, as a career that is on the battlefield and is precarious, everyone needs some psychological comfort.

However, this is also due to the powerful propaganda of the Holy See, for example, after wearing the cross, there is a 5% luck bonus, plus 10% agility.

Of course, the main reason is that it is said that a certain soldier overheard a conversation between a priest and an officer when he got up at night to pee.

The priest stuffed the officer with a lot of money and asked him to send the non-religious soldiers to the front line.

Although such gossip is very nonsense, I don't know which soldier made it up on a whim.

When everyone is fine, they also take it as a joke, but it is undeniable that the soldiers, who were still a little resistant to the Holy See, seem to have woken up overnight, and this legend is likely to be false, but what if it is true?

Everyone was in tears, as if a long-lost wanderer had seen his mother, and resolutely threw himself into the warm embrace of the Holy See.

Moreover, it is true that soldiers wearing crosses can receive priority treatment from priests when they are wounded.

Now the Semitic soldiers all wore a cross around their necks, gold, silver, copper, iron, and wood.

Amu and the other soldiers scattered in stragglers and slowly approached the town. But the town had been silent, and there was not the slightest movement.

This makes everyone feel more vigilant, all along, because of the temporary republican axe's policy of benefiting the people, the people are very welcome to everyone, just hope that after everyone comes, they will be divided into land and things.

Therefore, even if it is not a pot pulp to welcome the king, there are still some people who hold a small flag or something, and stand on the side of the road and shout two slogans.

And now, after arriving in this town, there is silence, which is too abnormal.

The soldiers lined up in battle formations, alternately advancing under cover.

After a short time, we were already on the edge of the town. But there was still no movement in the town. It's as if the whole town is dead.

Only a breeze blew an open window not far away, and the shaft of the window, which was starved of oil, creaked incessantly.

The voice was so impressive that decades later, the vast majority of soldiers still remember it.

Amu bent down and cautiously came to a window, then looked inside, and immediately saw that it was a mess, and the boxes and cabinets were all open and littered on the floor. There were also some messy clothes, and a few coarse bowls that had been broken to pieces......

All kinds of signs show that the people inside fled in a hurry.

He glanced at the soldier next to him, who immediately raised his gun to cover him.

Amu rolled over and jumped into the room, and then carefully checked it, and there was nothing wrong. There was not a single person in the room. And......

He saw a stove not far away, and his eyes lit up, and he walked over, and when he looked down, he saw that there was still a flash of sparks in the stove, indicating that the master had not been away for too long.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a 'clucking' rooster crow.

Amu couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly raised his gun in the direction of the sound, but then saw a familiar figure picking up a fat chicken from the ground.

Exactly that Rami.

Amu glared at him fiercely, and then lowered the gun.

But Rami shook the chicken in his hand towards him with a show off, and said loudly: "We don't have to eat that damn canned eagle at noon today." ”

Amu thought about it sideways, and couldn't help but smile at the moment: Everyone is tired of eating that damn can.

Although it tasted good when I used to eat it, it couldn't stand the same every day. As soon as I open my eyes every day, it is canned and canned, and many people almost want to vomit when they eat it.

Everyone wondered if the people in the logistics department had been occupied by the Flying Eagle Canning Company, otherwise, why didn't there be anything else in everyone's field rations, just this damn can.

For this matter, the big guys have not been scolded by the officers. And at every turn, it is a bittersweet memory, there was no meal at the beginning, and it has only been a long time since I tightened my belt and hit it again. I just ate a full meal for two days here, and I forgot about the previous bitterness.

Everyone was speechless when they were scolding, but despite this, if it wasn't for the lack of choice, everyone still didn't want to eat that can.

At this time, I heard the hurried voice of the officer not far away: "You two, what are you still stunned, keep moving." Hurry~!"

Hearing his voice, Amu and Rami couldn't help but glance at each other, and then snickered, like students caught by a teacher. - The officer was none other than their former squad leader, Sylvie. He has now been promoted.

Amu and Rami didn't open the door, but jumped over the wall. Came to the street and continued to search.

When he came to the intersection in the center of the town, Amu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that this town was not dangerous, and it was likely that the local people were just scared away, and so on.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone next to me exclaiming: "Enemy attack~!"

Amu reflexively threw himself towards a big tree next to him.

Immediately afterward, he felt something hang with a sharp wind sound passing over his head.

Amu hid behind a tree, and then turned his head to take a look, and found that a sharp arrow was pierced into the ground not far away, and the tail feather was still trembling.

If it hadn't been for the warning, the arrow would have been shot in his head just now.

He couldn't help but touch the top of his head in fear, and then touched a few more broken hairs from the top of his head, which couldn't help but startle him again, and then hurriedly drew a cross on his chest.

At this time, the gunshots around him were already ringing out continuously. And the enemy on the opposite side did not show weakness, constantly drawing bows and firing arrows, and occasionally someone threw explosive crystals in this direction.

As the explosion sounded, the soldiers also reacted, took off the grenades on their waists one after another, and threw them towards the opposite side.

For a moment, there were gunshots, the crash of bowstrings, the sound of arrows breaking through the air, explosions, angry curses, screams...... There was a loud bang, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.

Amu also picked up the gun and shot at the opposite side, but then he was shocked to find that the enemy on the opposite side was extraordinary, all of them were agile and extraordinary.

With bows and arrows in hand, they quickly dodged the bullets and fired their arrows at their side.

Although the soldiers of the Free Army had the advantage of weapons, they were all overwhelmed by the primitive and backward weapons of the other side.

Rami cursed loudly and threw a grenade at the opposite side, but was caught by a soldier on the opposite side and threw it back.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Amu lunged over with an arrow, dragged the soldier past him, and rolled to the side.

With a 'boom', the grenade exploded, and the dust raised high splashed the two heads and faces.

Before he could come back to his senses, he heard another rumbling sound in front of him.

Amu couldn't help but be shocked: the cavalry~! is the enemy's cavalry.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of knights in heavy armor and galloping horses appeared on the opposite side.

They lined up like an unstoppable torrent of steel swooping down on them.

The officer not far away shouted at the top of his voice: "Fire, fire." Fire with all your might~!"

Amu immediately raised his gun and fired desperately at the knights.

The rest of the soldiers also opened fire one after another, and everyone knew that if they let those cavalrymen get closer, everyone would have to die here today.

In the chaotic sound of gunfire, although some knights were shot and fell, and then drowned in the cavalry, the steel torrent of the cavalry was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a crisp 'tutu tutu' sound not far behind me. The machine gun finally opened fire.

Everyone suddenly felt the pressure on their bodies lighten.

I saw that the cavalry on the opposite side fell to the ground in pieces like straw that had been cut down.

In that moment, all the rest of the battlefield was gone, except for the screams of the knights, the rumble of the heavy armor as it fell to the ground, and the wailing of the horses......

I heard the ominous sound of cannonballs whistling overhead.

'Boom, boom, boom......' shells exploded in the crowd opposite.

For example, orange-red fireworks bloom. At the moment of the explosion of the cannonball, you can clearly see that the people and horses are like rag dolls that have been broken by giants, flying around randomly.

In just one minute, the battlefield shape was reversed.

Through the explosion of artillery fire, a hoarse shout could be heard from the opposite side: "Retreat, retreat, retreat." “

Immediately afterward, dozens of figures rushed out of all corners and fled backwards quickly.

The soldiers immediately raised their guns and fired at them incessantly.

A sharp whistle was heard. Immediately afterward, the artillery fire behind me stopped.

The officer behind him also shouted, "Brothers, rush." Avenge your brother who died in battle. ”

With a shout, the soldiers also rushed out from behind their bunkers and chased forward.

When they reached the other end of the town, they saw that the enemy on the opposite side had jumped on the horses they had prepared and fled quickly.

Amu aimed at their backs and fired a few more shots, and then all the soldiers stopped, staring at the distant scenery in a daze.

I saw that on the distant horizon, there seemed to be a cyan python across the plain.

Someone asked strangely, "Sir, what is that?"

Sylvie glanced at it and replied softly, "That's Arcaderin." That's our capital, the Imperial City of Acadherine......"
