Chapter 442: Red Weasel!
Bran has been fighting with the Northern Wilderness for so many years, and the front line, which stretches for thousands of miles, is full of war. If it's an exaggeration, it's that almost every inch of land here is soaked in dark red blood.
Of course, just almost. Compared with the frequent battles in other places for three days and two ends, the defense area of the Zichen Legion was particularly peaceful. Intimidated by Ziyi's domineering power, for more than ten years, the barbarians rarely ignited the flames of war in this place. And even if there were, it was basically successfully intercepted and solved on the periphery. Therefore, the urban civilians in this defense area feel very strange, in the area where the war is burning, but they have enjoyed a quiet life for more than ten years, and they have almost forgotten the appearance of barbarians.
This is true of the barbarians, and the same is true of the soldiers of the other legions. So when they got here, Elt and Tucker's rich experience couldn't be brought into play, and they hadn't been to the Zichen Legion's defense area, but it was basically just a wartime need, and they left again after a hurried walk, and they were not familiar with the terrain here.
In this case, everyone couldn't, so they simply walked straight to the east, thinking that they could always run into the patrol soldiers of the Zichen Legion. However, they didn't know that Tiu had already led people to do the diligent demolition and relocation work, and most of the military strongholds on the periphery of the Zichen Legion's defense area were uprooted. So if they don't walk for half a day, they basically don't expect to meet a living person.
Fortunately, Tang En and the others were in a good mood and didn't care about this. For them, spending more than ten days on the run, it is a rare happiness to be able to walk in the sun with a swagger. In addition, the people who just survived the danger of death, jokes and jokes in the team, etc., are very lively.
Talking and laughing, everyone didn't know how long they had been walking. It's about half a day. Because the sky is getting dark. Dusk is approaching.
It was at this point that the team finally encountered a group of soldiers in standard armor. Or more preparingly, they were surrounded by each other. Everyone did not panic, and it was inevitable that someone like them would be careful if they came in without asking.
Sure enough, after approaching, I probably saw clearly that this side was not a barbarian with a big waist and a round waist. The soldiers who surrounded him immediately stopped and put down their weapons. Immediately, several burly figures greeted him.
A standard military salute, "Zichen Three Armies Light Armor Battalion, Butters!"
Back to the military salute, "Thunder Fourth Army Heavy Sword Battalion, Elt." Tomahawk battalion, Taka. ”
"The new Grey Men spear breaks the camp, Frey. ”
......
The three major army corps on the front line are competing openly and covertly, but now that it is a time of war, there is less intrigue than usual.
So I introduced it. The big man named Butters doesn't have the arrogance of being a Zichen legion, and his personality is quite bold. It's also very talkative. And Frey's side was originally defecting to others and temporarily avoiding risks, so they naturally echoed their words. So soon everyone got in touch and went to the nearest level together.
Although it is tentatively determined that Don and the others are Bran soldiers, Butters naturally wants to ask them why they are here. This point has been discussed between Don and Frey, first of all, it can't be said about Weiner framing them, no matter what the other party says, he is also a lieutenant general, although this is the Zichen Legion, logically speaking, there should not be any connection with Weiner, but in order to avoid possible extraneous complications, the best choice is to keep it hidden before solving this matter.
The next thing is to break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of barbarians, which can be said, but the key is that the other party doesn't believe it...... So Zuihou Frey just vaguely said that the three battalions on his side came out to patrol, and then encountered a large attack by the barbarians, so he could only evacuate here, and suffered heavy losses along the way, and there were only so many people left here.
This is naturally believable, because it is the truth. And after drilling the ravine for more than ten days, the image of everyone at this time is almost no different from that of a wild man. That's why Butters and the others were so close just now that they put down their weapons in disbelief.
After listening to Frey's words, Butters nodded, looked at everyone and said with emotion: "We've all heard about the situation in the wilderness, and barbarians are almost everywhere. It's a miracle that more than 1,000 of you have crossed the wilderness, and that so many of you have survived to get here. ”
Hearing this, Frey and the others couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, who knew that if it wasn't for the Wild Wolf Ride, there would be more people alive who would have been able to get here.
The expressions of several people were misunderstood by Butters, and he comforted: "Don't be too sad, you die on the battlefield, this is also the fate of soldiers." The next time you see the barbarians, you will kill a few more people to avenge them. ”
Although it was misunderstood, there was truth in this statement. Don and the others nodded in agreement, and then Elt diverted the topic and asked casually, "The Butters brothers don't seem surprised that we're here?"
"Haha, of course. Butters looked up a few times and explained, "A few brothers don't know, you are not the first people to come here, and other teams of the Thunder Legion often avoided our defense zone a few days ago. However, it is the first one like you who can cross the wilderness with more than 1,000 people, and basically all of them are at the division level, and it seems that I heard that there are still a few generals, and the team has suffered heavy losses. ”
The previous words were quite proud, probably because the strength of the Zichen Legion was enough to become a refuge. But that's understandable, because that's exactly what it is.
Frey and the others nodded suddenly when they heard this, yes, of course they couldn't be the only ones who could think of running here. Given the conditions of the wilderness at the time, this was indeed a suitable place of refuge in the face of the unfavorable situation of the war.
"Oh, yes. Frey seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said, "We met when we came...... Seeing tens of thousands of barbarians, what's going on?"
Butters grinned and grinned, "Oh, they, haha...... They have been here for almost a week, and they are only working the periphery to demolish our abandoned military strongholds, but they dare not go deeper into the interior. ”
Frey was surprised: "Scrapped?"
Nodding, "Well, it's been a few years since there has been a real war here, and the buildings in some military strongholds are seriously aging and dilapidated. We also have a headache, let's dismantle it, this project is relatively huge. And it's a little reluctant, after all, it can be used if it's improvised. Don't dismantle it. New ones can't be built. He scratched his head in distress. Butters laughs happily. "But now, these barbarians spent a week dismantling most of them, which makes us worry a lot. ”
"......" Tang En and Frey looked at each other when they heard this, they were all speechless, and then collectively gestured on their chests, silently mourning for the tens of thousands of barbarians they had just seen.
However, Butters seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and buckled the war knife at his waist: "Of course, that is, our commander ordered that no attacks are allowed." Otherwise, we wouldn't have let these barbarians wander around our defense zone like this...... Forget it, it's not interesting to say this. Well, you're lucky, but luckily you didn't run into those tens of thousands of barbarians. ”
"Uh...... Hehe, yes, fortunately I didn't run into it. Frey's smile was a little stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he looked at Don. Then he changed the subject, "I see those barbarians in a hurry, as if they were fleeing for their lives. Is there something going on on your side?"
"Huh, is there such a thing?" said Butters, grabbing his hair and shaking his head. "I don't know much about this, I haven't heard of it. However, this may be important information, and I will report it to my superiors when I send you to the checkpoint. Well, xiexie brothers. "Butters is only a battalion commander, and he is still patrolling, obviously he didn't receive the combat orders from above, so naturally he didn't know.
"Haha, Brother Butters is too polite. We just happened to see that we should not be thankful for things that were said in passing. ”
......
After chatting like this, before the sky was completely dark, a faint level finally appeared in everyone's sight, and there were several fires jumping on the wall.
With Butters leading the way, everyone enters the level after being briefly searched by the soldiers defending the city.
Bran's levels are pretty much the same, full of garrison equipment and patrol soldiers. The same is true here, there will be no special things just because it is the Zichen Legion.
Sent to the gate of the inner city of the checkpoint, Butters pointed to the soldiers on the side and said, "Then you brothers just need to follow him, well, that is, simply register, and then they will open a road for you to do a routine." ”
"Okay, this way, Xiexie Butters brother, we'll come over and treat you to a drink when we have time. ”
"Haha, that's good, I'll wait for ......"
After a few pleasantries, Butters turns and strides away. However, it is not the wilderness outside, but somewhere in the level, it should be to report the retreat of the barbarians that Frey just mentioned.
Tang En and the others followed the leading soldiers to turn left, and they didn't go far before a house made of thick stone appeared in front of them. The soldier who led the way pushed open the door of the house, smiled and said a few words, and had a good relationship with the people inside, and then waved his hand and made an invitation gesture to invite Frey and the others in.
The so-called registration, that is, similar to Donn, outsiders write down their military ranks and the regiments they belong to. Then the other party will check it, and after confirming that it is correct, it will open a road. With this way, their team can walk through the rear cities, and of course, they will also provide food and lodging until they leave the defense area and return to their own legion.
This kind of work would have only been done by Frey, Elt, and Taka, but Don was invited in by the soldier leading the way as an officer.
Tang En only found out about these matters after he came in, touched his nose, but didn't care, and consciously stood aside. Immediately, out of boredom, he observed the office of this level left and right.
To be honest, it's very basic, just a table and a few benches. The only thing that stood out was the standing wooden cabinet that resembled a bookcase in the back, and after Frey had registered, a soldier opened the wooden cabinet and pulled out a stack of papers.
Tang En's eyes were sharp, and he saw the handwriting of the Thunder Four Army on the paper. Suddenly, I knew that this was the other party's voucher. Probably noticing Donn's gaze, Frey came over and introduced, "For serving officers, Bran's military will record them. Of course, this is only a level, so some can only be up to the battalion level, and there is only simple information such as names. When we enter the later cities, we will be registered once, and the inspection will be more detailed. ”
Tang En nodded clearly, after all, this place is close to the front line, and it is a war period now, so he naturally does not dare to be sloppy in management. I was about to open my mouth to say something, but suddenly,
"Huh!" After the shock, there was an uproar, and there was a rather loud sound of turning the page.
Don and Frey subconsciously turned their heads, and saw Elt's body in front of the table shaking wildly, almost unstoppable. Immediately, the taka probe on one side passed, and in an instant, it was almost the same reaction. Because both of them were facing backs, Don didn't know what was going on. However, from this strong body movement, Tang En had reason to believe that their faces must be shocked now.
At this time, Elt had already turned around, holding the book in his hand, which should be the book they had just registered, and stepped directly in front of Donn and Frey in a few big steps, pointing to one of the pages with a strange expression: "Look. ”
Donn looked down, and lines of writing lined up on the pages. Some pens walk the dragon and snake, and the strength penetrates the back of the paper, which is quite skilled. Some pens walk earthworms, teeth and claws, simple and natural......
As for Eltena's carrot-shaped short fingers pointing at the location, the handwriting is of high quality, and it seems to be quite powerful. The content is written that the deputy general of the Thunder Three Armies, Weiner!
Sounds familiar...... Before Don could react, a hoarse voice sounded next to his ears that suppressed his anger to the extreme,
"Red, hairy, weasel!"
"Uh......" (To be continued......
