Chapter 374 is cruel, but it's also very real!

PS: Bow down and thank the book friend "jht121" for the tip~!

"Damn, look, I really want to cut them!"

"Forget it, David, think about going to the battlefield in a few days, how many people will survive here? ”

"Uh, that makes sense...... I'm rubbing, Luke, I've found that you've been enlightened ever since you were made a gray-clothed arrow!"

"Fuck off!"

......

At noon, on both sides of the bare official road, a large group of soldiers sitting on the ground were eating lunch, biting on the flattened yellowish dough.

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and Don looked at David and Luke who were bickering, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

A few days ago, they set out from Vasa City and rushed all the way to the battlefield. However, the northern region is vast, and although it was to the front line before, it is still a long way from the actual place of battle, that is, the current position of everyone is really close.

The soldiers sitting here now are not the 30,000 soldiers of the Gray Army, there are only 5,000 people here, 2,000 Gray Army, and 3,000 regular soldiers. The reason for this situation is simple, it is impossible for the Bran army, and they are not worried about letting the army of the gray army be completely put into the battlefield, so when they set off, except for General Daniel who led 10,000 people, the rest of the soldiers were scattered, 1,200,000, scattered into various theaters.

This arrangement was normal, and General Daniel had expected it, so he did not interfere with this random assignment by the Bran military. Donn and Grey Space were in Frey's spear-breaking camp, and after receiving the military order, they teamed up with the other regiments and two battalions of the Grey Army and about a division of Bran to their destination. Tyton's Greatsword Battalion went to another war zone. They can only say their best wishes to each other and then separate.

Now it's time to team up with the Bran soldiers on the road. Naturally, mutual provocation and sarcasm are inevitable. David and Luke were talking about the regular soldiers of Bran on the other side of the road. I have to say. In addition to historical grudges, the Bran soldiers have an almost natural sense of psychological superiority when facing the soldiers of the Gray Army. This sense of superiority was brought into the usual words and deeds, which naturally made David and the others very unhappy, and they couldn't wait to find a sack to cover each other, and then drag them to a hidden corner and beat them up at that mocking face...... Well, in fact, they really wanted to do that. However, he was dissuaded by Frey......

As for Luke's title of 'Gray-clothed Arrow Marquis', it was after an arrow hit the red heart of the arrow target more than 200 meters away, I don't know who shouted it one by one, and then it spread quickly, and it quickly spread among the gray-clothed soldiers. Originally, this title should have stopped at this level, but in the next few days, when the Gray Army soldiers were practicing in the training area, several Bran soldiers and some junior officers came to challenge them.

In line with the idea of being the face of the Gray Army, Luke gladly agreed, and this time the onlookers were not almost all Gray Army soldiers like last time. Many Bran soldiers also surrounded him to cheer on their companions, and Luke fired three arrows in quick succession. easily penetrated the red heart of the arrow target 150 meters away, directly shocking the audience. After this battle, the title of Grey Arrow Candidate quickly spread among the Bran soldiers, and it was a sure thing.

However, Luke seems to be very uninterested in this title, and whoever mentions it in front of him will 'turn his face' on the spot. However, according to Donne, Luke should just be uncomfortable, maybe a little shy, and he will naturally accept it in the future, after all, this is also a good honor, isn't it?

After lunch and a short rest, the team set off again. If there are no accidents, they will arrive at their destination tonight, the Paso level.

However, after about half an hour, the Bran soldiers who were walking in front suddenly had some commotion, not obviously, but it could be seen.

"What's going on?" Don subconsciously turned his head to Frey and asked, although the latter hadn't been on the front line for more than ten years, he was still clear about all the situations here, after all, he had been here for more than ten years.

"Blocked, can't see clearly...... Well, I seem to have seen something. Frey looked at it and shook his head, "Wait a minute, you should be able to see it right away." ”

The Bran soldiers in front of them slowed down, and the atmosphere looked solemn, and after a few more minutes, they finally stopped. At this time, the gray-clothed army also saw the situation clearly, stopped, and the scene became extremely dull in an instant.

Not far to the right of the official road, there is a farm with black smoke, and above it, several vulture-like birds are rattling and circling. Maybe the others couldn't see clearly, but the bloody corpses hanging in the sharp corners of the church, fluttering in the wind, certainly said something......

"Grass!" Luke, who had the sharpest eyes, seemed to notice something, clenched his fists, his face was slightly distorted, and a few words came out between his teeth, "This is just a child......

Tang En's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and suddenly, the cold wind in the north was everywhere, but now it was absolutely impossible for this intensity to blow an adult up, so if he said this, it could only be a child......

An ugly-looking officer walked among the Bran soldiers ahead, and after exchanging a few words with the commander of the Grey Army, the team turned and stepped onto the side path towards the village.

It wasn't far away, but after a few steps, there was a sudden uproar among the Bran soldiers in front of him, and all kinds of angry scolding sounded in a low voice. Immediately, the face of the gray-clothed soldier also changed, and the arm holding the spear was bruised.

The bloody corpse floating in the sharp corner of the church turned out to be just a little girl less than three feet tall, with flaxen hair, a palm-sized skull weakly tilted to the side, a face extremely hideous, and hollow eye sockets, which should have been inside, or brown or sky blue, and the smart eyes disappeared, just looking down with the shaking body hollowly...... It was not only this place that disappeared, but also the skin of the little girl from the neck down......

"Quack-quack-"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Before the birdsong fell, the bowstring vibrated and the black shadows of the three arrows rushed up, accurately hitting the heads of the three vulture birds that swooped down from above. fluttering, the bird corpse smashed down, landed on the roof of the tile house, and then Xiangxia rolled and disappeared from sight.

After doing all this, Luke put away the Eagle Bow with a grim face.

The team entered the farm in a calm atmosphere, and despite the cold wind, the smell of blood was still in the nose. As expected, the sight was full of horrific corpses. In the other world, everyone put down the little girl's body, found a white cloth to cover it, and then silently collected all kinds of tragic corpses and placed them in the open space west of the village.

After collecting, everyone's faces were even more ugly, except for the little girl, there was no complete corpse here, and some even seemed to be directly torn apart by external force, and they couldn't be pieced together.

can be a soldier, and the mental quality is naturally excellent, and no one has vomited. But that doesn't mean they're not disgusting or angry...... Take the gray space as an example, they have experienced countless battles, large and small, and have seen mountains of corpses piled up, and many people have been killed with their own hands. But they have never targeted innocent civilians, let alone with such cruel means!

The grave had been dug and the crowd was silent for a few minutes before placing the bodies one by one.

After Frey examined several corpses, he got up and took a deep breath: "It was the barbarians who did it. ”

"Barbarians?" Don frowned even though he had expected it from looking at the torn corpse, "Isn't this an area controlled by Bran, how can there be barbarians?"

Shaking his head, Frey said in a deep voice: "The defense line can hold back the hordes of barbarians, but there will always be some slips and let a few barbarians break in...... When these barbarians come in, they often act with the most cruelty because they know that they can't go back. After a pause, he pointed to the farm in front of him, "Such a farm can be slaughtered with only five barbarians." ”

"Barbarian...... I, grass, you, mother, ......" David on the side took a few deep breaths, his chest rose and fell, a mouthful of steel teeth was almost crushed, and his anger turned into a word, with sharp edges and corners.

Patting the other party on the shoulder, Don continued to frown and asked, "I don't understand...... The war has been fought for so long, and these civilians weishenme don't leave here and withdraw to the rear?"

"It's more complicated. Frey took a few steps back and asked the soldier to remove the body in front of him, "Some people will go, but there will still be people who will choose to stay." Some are single old people who have little time and don't want to die on the transfer road, preferring to die in their homeland. More often than not, they can't afford to transfer, they have to eat, drink, and live everywhere, and the city is not allowed to enter, and it is not okay to be a begging homeless man...... Leaving their homes, leaving their land, they have nothing. ”

"Alas, this is quite common. Not to mention that this is still in the controlled area, even outside, there are many farms that have not been evacuated. Of course, that's a bit of self-preservation, sometimes they take refuge in the mountains and jungles, but they can't go far, and they always have to come back to take care of the harvest in the land, which is dangerous, but there is no way to do it...... When I was in the army, I sometimes went to help, and many soldiers did that, but often when we went this time, the farm was still there, and the next time we went, it was in ruins......"

After sighing, the wrinkles on Frey's face gathered into furrows, sad and helpless.

Tang En nodded silently, and as he spoke, the grave had been buried, it was destined to be a tombless tomb, and no one knew who they were, not even the name of the farm. Mi Xiu approached in the distance and shook his head: "Boss, I found traces, there are about a dozen of them, but the traces disappeared in front of the mountain range to the east of the village, and they can't be found in a short time." ”

"Barbarians are used to hunting, and they are still very good at hiding and tracking. Frey licked his chapped lips and said, "Don, I know you're good at tracking, but not right now...... Well, they can't get out of here, they'll always be caught and killed. ”

It is a fact that now in the army, they all have military orders in their bodies, they can come and bury the corpses, but it is impossible to go around the mountains in order to kill these barbarians. After all, the military situation is in full swing, and no one knows if it will be because they failed to arrive in time, which led to the breakdown of the defense line...... It's brutal, but it's also true.

"Boss, give me half a day......"

"Shut up!" Don glanced at David with a calm face, who lowered his head and nodded to Frey: "Well, let's go......"

...... (To be continued......)
