Chapter 042: The taste is slightly heavier
In the winter of 555 Bran Gregorian calendar, the imperial royal family issued an edict: the northern legions and lords immediately sent troops to exterminate the gray army.
If you don't count all kinds of small battles, this is the sixth official time that Bran has officially announced the extermination of the Gray Coats. No one knows if this time will be a success, or if it will end in failure, as it has been in the past five times.
Xiongguan City in the north, the central building.
A handsome, middle-aged officer made a twist and turn in the conjoined building, and finally stopped in front of a room guarded by two soldiers.
The soldier, clearly recognizing the officer, saluted and stepped back.
The middle-aged officer nodded and pushed the door open.
The room was in a mess, and the purple-clothed man sitting behind the innermost desk raised his head,
"Oh, Ralph is here. ”
"Marshal. The middle-aged officer gave a standard military salute and asked, "The marshal is looking for me?"
There is only one marshal in Xiongguan City, and that is the marshal of the Zichen Legion, Ziyi, who enjoys the reputation of the military god among the people.
"Well, have you heard the news that the Empire is going to exterminate the Gray Army?" Zi Yi nodded.
"I heard. Ralph said with a calm face.
"Well, the Zichen Legion sent out 8,000 people this time, led by you!"
"Good!"
"Ahem...... Zi Yi clenched his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth and coughed twice, then said, "This time the situation is more special, the Northern Wilderness tribe will make a mistake in more than a month, so, ahem...... So at least the gray army to be fought has no way to pose a threat to our rear. ”
"Yes!" Ralph replied without the slightest hesitation, as if it were just normal.
"It's Charismatic Day in a few days...... Well, I'll go to the rear with you. ”
"Huh?" Ralph, who had been expressionless, finally looked confused. "The marshal is going too?"
Although the presence of the Grey Army was very uncomfortable for Bran, it was only uncomfortable. In most people's minds, it's not really a big deal. In the previous encirclement and suppression, I had never seen a corps marshal personally lead his troops to the battle.
"Hehe, I finally saw a different expression on your face, although the words were still the same...... Ralph, it's okay to laugh and laugh, don't always let people secretly call you General Facial Paralysis. Zi Yi chuckled. There was a look of success on his face.
Ralph was silent, seemingly in silent protest.
"Here you ...... again" Zi Yi spread his hands with a helpless expression, "I went to the rear this time because I had other things." ”
Ralph nodded.
"Alright. That's it, you go. Seeming to find it boring, Zi Yi shook her head and waved her hand to chase away.
"Yes!" Ralph gave another standard military salute. Turned around and walked out of the house.
Zi Yi opened her purple lips, and her eyes showed a rare hint of complexity. zuihou, leaning over. "Ahem......"
At the same time, the Thunder and Cangyan Legions also began to deploy manpower. As for the four lords of the north. Well, there's no movement at the moment...... In any case, another mighty encirclement and suppression against the Gray Army is about to begin!
......
Of course, the wind and rain outside have nothing to do with the gray army in the jungle for the time being.
Most of the fires in the bunkers have been extinguished, except for puffs of black smoke that still billow.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the trunk of the tree that had turned into black charcoal was forcefully struck open from the inside, and a puff of smoke and ash flew up.
"Ahem......"
A constant coughing sound was heard. One figure after another quickly ran out of it. The first action of these people is to take a big breath of fresh air.
"Damn it. If you stay any longer, you'll really be roasted. Darren gasped and wiped his sweaty forehead.
"yes, I knew I should have built a bigger one. Don pinched off his clothes, and a trail of water came out.
"Haha, good. Darren Daxiao sighed, and then looked into the distance, "Brothers, let's go over there and have a look!"
Naturally, everyone responded in unison, is there anything more satisfying in the world than watching a mortal enemy fall?
From a distance, it was a mess. Weapons and armor all over the ground, stretching into the surrounding woods. Needless to say, this was probably the escape route of those soldiers. But the average person in the jungle wants to escape the man-eating bees? well, unless he gave him four legs......
The crowd kept pointing and speculating on the fate of the soldiers, cheering from time to time.
They have reason to be excited, knowing that they are all about to be cornered these days. Scarce food, never-ending marching, groggy heads from lack of sleep...... Now that I think about it, everyone doesn't know how they survived these days.
There was still some distance between the place where the pursuers were deployed and the bunker of the gray-clothed army, and as they continued to march, the cheers of the crowd gradually became scarce, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
A color gradually came into everyone's eyes, bright red, deep red, dark red......
No one knows how much blood there are in more than 2,000 people, but this land is completely impregnated.
Then another color appeared, which seemed to be pieces of white cloth, which were dotted on the red earth, and they were eye-catching.
Walk in, walk into ......
Hey, it's a little wrong, it seems like something is missing......
What is missing? This question is on everyone's minds.
Tang En's face became strange for the first time, he stopped, swallowed his saliva, and said hesitantly: "Well, the pursuers should be dead, so let's not go and see it." ”
"Weishenme?"
"Look, if we don't see the death of these people, how can we get rid of the hatred in our hearts. ”
"That's it!"
Don spread his hands and didn't stop him. You brought it on yourself, don't blame me for not reminding you......
The first white cloth appeared in front of the crowd, followed by the second......
"Ahem, Brother Tang is right, don't read it. Darren's face turned a little pale at this time, and he looked at Don in a complicated way.
Immediately, Borg seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly changed drastically. The arrow jumped away like a rabbit, and there was a white cloth on the sole of his foot......
Borg's violent reaction caught everyone's attention, and everyone immediately turned their eyes to the white cloth.
This white cloth is a bit weird, there are a few holes in it, some hairs stick to it, and there seems to be something underneath, slightly bulging...... Hey, that's the same way, strange, why are you still wearing shoes on it...... Wear shoes? Wear shoes!
"Wow......" Josia suddenly leaned over and vomited.
"Miss Josia, what's wrong with you?" David asked puzzled, then leaned over and picked up a white cloth and spread it out, "Everyone looks at this white cloth...... Hey, it feels good, this cloth is of the highest quality!"
When it was spread out, the white cloth was as tall as David, and it had sleeves, and it had trouser legs, and it had a nose, and uh, it had no eyes......
"Wow......"
"Wow......"
"Wow......"
Almost at the same time, hundreds of people were leaning over and vomiting. The vomit was dark, and tears and snot came out together......
"Uh, everybody, what's that?" David was taken aback by what he saw.
The corners of Mixiu's mouth twitched, his throat moved twice and then calmed down, and he said to David with an expressionless face: "This is human skin." ”
"Human skin...... What kind of skin is that, is it expensive?" David looked curious.
"You, wow......" Michau retreated in defeat.
"Uh, Michaeu, why did you throw up too?"
"All right, David. Don walked over and said, "Throw it away, this thing." ”
"It's a pity, this is human skin...... David looked reluctant, and then blinked, "Human skin? uh...... Wow!"
Loosening it as if he had taken a charcoal fire, David suddenly fell to his knees and vomited wildly.
The speed of response of this cargo ...... Don couldn't complain anymore.
Looking around, except for Tang En, everyone in the gray-clothed army was leaning over and vomiting, and even Darren, who often boasted of crawling out of the pile of dead people, couldn't help but retch.
They all said don't look at it......
Dead people, everyone here has seen it, but this way of dying...... Man-eating bees eat human flesh, which most people know. But who would have thought that such a sophisticated way of eating would devour everything except bones, leaving only an empty human skin!
Call...... Don let out a long breath and walked away. When did your taste get heavier and heavier? Well, it's all the old butler's fault!
............ (To be continued.) )
