In a moment, this unknown hillside battlefield was quickly cleaned up.

In the end, the long spear breaking the formation team killed eight people and wounded more than ten. The heavy sword battalion has killed more people. Half of the soldiers will stay here forever. Only a few survived with minor injuries. Almost all of the others were seriously injured. A few people were dying, and they were about to die.

There is not much sadness, but it's not that they are cold-blooded. No one here is a recruit on the battlefield. After many battles, they all look down on life and death. Seeing that the warm body of their companions became cold, they were also sad and angry, but they were more accustomed to forbearance, until the next time they encountered a barbarian, they burst out.

The body of the sacrificial warrior cannot be taken away. After digging some grave pits at the back of the hillside, they are buried there. As for the barbarians, the roaring vultures in the sky are their final destination...

After doing these things, the team merges and returns to the level. Although the heavy sword camp was seriously injured, and some of them were almost at their physical limit, but because of this, they could only march quickly and return to the level for treatment as soon as possible.

Elt is naturally familiar with this area, and suggested that there is a small road nearby to save the distance, and Frey has no objection, so everyone turned to set foot on this rough road that is not very easy to walk. small road.

"hū chī ... thank you, thank you for your help! Sorry, I was still prejudiced against you before, hū chī ... but after this incident, I, Ert, accepted it, huh... "gasping for breath, although I tried my best to control my breathing, the words were still intermittent.

Touching his nose, Tang En tried his best to tell the difference, only then did he hear the words of thanks and apology, and then he also guessed what the other party meant, and shrugged: "It's too polite, it's just no. Effort at all is enough."

"Yes, yes, um, your no effort at all, hū chī... For us, it is a major event that matters to our lives." His face paled, Elt made an effort to express his gratitude.

The surviving soldiers of the heavy sword battalion were heavily wounded, but since they didn't die, they all had to be saved. However, the one with good luck among them was also slightly injured, and there was no problem in walking on their own, but it was impossible to bear the burden of another person. It's a tricky problem, but it's actually easy to solve, and that is to ask the Grey Cloth Armed Force for help. But Elt was also a little hesitant in his heart. After all, his previous attitude was not friendly enough, and he almost even had a conflict, and the other party might not be willing to help...

Well, he came here with good intentions. Rescue, but the result is not due to the thanks and respect, which will feel depressed on anyone. And after that, he put most of the soldiers in the gully and did not participate in the attack. That's right, from my own side, it is to be safe and retain the strength of defense and counterattack. But in the eyes of the other party, it is likely to become doubtful of their ability, or timidity that they cannot fight side by side and so on.

Just when Elt was worrying about gains and losses and trying his best to organize his words, he didn't want Frey, but he was very thoughtful. After thinking about this, he read Thunder Legion's old feelings and went straight to the end and took the initiative. Let the soldiers cut some branches and lift the seriously wounded of the heavy sword battalion.

In this way, the scene that Elt is thanking now happens.

But Tang En looked at the other party's running, his body was like a sack of water, the wounds were bleeding, and he shook his head helplessly: "Captain Elt, it's never too late to say thank you, I think it's more important for you to take care of yourself now."

"No, it's fine..." Waving his hand, Elt said nonchalantly. However, the pale face and slightly dazed eyes were not very convincing.

frowned: "Forget it, I think it's better to let David carry you... eh?"

Tang En was about to turn his head to greet David, but unexpectedly the team behind After a while, more than a dozen soldiers gathered in one place, all shaking their heads.

"What's the matter?" Frey walked back from the front.

A soldier from the long spear battalion ran over, glanced at Elt beside him, turned his head and said, "Master battalion commander, there is no brother from the heavy sword battalion."

Elt's face darkened when he heard the words. This situation was actually expected. When he set off, more than a dozen soldiers were already in the dying Condition. . If they had been left on the hills, they might have endured a few more minutes, but now on the rough road, the bumps would naturally accelerate their death. But now there is no way, if you don't return to the level for treatment as soon as possible, let alone they don't even have a glimmer of survival, and even more people will die...

Taking a breath, Elt is stable He undid his chest and gave a military salute: "Captain Frey, please help me dig a grave." After being affirmed nodded, he walked quickly to the dead soldier.

"It's a decisive person!" Frey looked at Elt's back and sighed with admiration.

Tang En was also silently nodded. Obviously, although this Elt was also saddened by the death of his subordinates, for the sake of the lives of more soldiers, he decided to deal with the matter quickly in a cruel way.

Looking around, Frey pointed to the lee of the low hills beside the road, and said to the soldiers who came to report, "Take some brothers to dig a grave there, hurry up!"

"Yes!"

This unexpected incident was dealt with very quickly, Elt stood silently beside the soldier, and after one minute, touched the other side because With painful and round eyes, he immediately picked up the body and walked towards the newly dug grave pit, without going through the silent ceremony, he directly threw the soil to bury it.

Seeing Elt approaching with slightly red eyes, Frey sighed and waved his hand. Just as he was about to order to start, his arm paused, frowning at the two figures Rapid Speed coming in front of him.

It goes without saying that it was the Eisoan members who acted as scouts. Generally, during the march of the army, even if there is no special situation, the scouts will come back and report to the superiors within the specified time.

But the situation is a little different now. It is time to hurry. If there is no special situation, they only need to show a figure at a high place and appear in Frey's line of sight, but now they are in a hurry...

It didn't take long to guess, just as Elt came over, the Eisoan members also rushed to the front.

"Captain Frey, three kilometers ahead, there is a caravan approaching here. The number of people is about 200."

Tang En could not help but be stunned. Raising his eyebrows: "Caravan?" This is a battlefield, and there is chaos. How could a caravan dare to take the risk to walk here.

"Damn it!""These treasonous worms!"

Frey and Elt obviously knew something, their faces sank at the same time, their anger surged, and they cursed in foul language.

Looking at Tang En's somewhat puzzled look, Frey explained: "If you guessed correctly, this group of so-called top ten caravans is smuggling the northern wasteland... The northern wasteland is freezing cold. , the environment is harsh, not suitable for crops to grow, and livestock such as cattle and sheep are not enough to fill their stomachs. It can be said that they are basically in a semi-famine condition for many years, so they will cross the border from time to time. Come and grab something."

After a while, he continued, "It is precisely because of this situation that some self-seeking guys in the Titus Kingdom will smuggle food, cotton-padded clothes, etc. Seeking huge profits. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Beihuang has spare strength to attack every year is also due to their credit! Hmph, what they get is the benefit, and our soldiers will pay the price for it with their lives!”

Tang En suddenly nodded: "so that's how it is, um, does Titus care?"

"Of course! According to imperial law, as long as you are caught smuggling, you will be hanged. post. But the fact is, this situation is still repeated!" Frey shook his head helplessly, "The Northern Wilderness is rich in all kinds of precious raw ore, and the benefits here are really rich, and hanging posts can't stop the greed of smugglers at all. And..."

Glancing at Elt, Frey said, "and there are many shadows of great characters of the nobles. Ordinary Business Groups may be afraid of the law, or they may gather together These things that are strictly controlled during wartime are not a problem. But it is not a problem for the nobles. They have relationships that can avoid the law to the greatest extent, and they have the means to get these things. So as long as they have the guts, smuggling is for them. It's not a problem."

"Take the current caravan as an example, this is a military area, and because of the war, it has long been under martial law. But their two hundred people plus goods and other vehicles are able to swagger. Crossing the blockade and appearing here, there must be a problem in which link. And this is definitely not just a matter of money, border soldiers may not have such courage, there are many people, and it is easy to make mistakes. This is only possible if a nobleman uses his connections to cooperate with an officer."

Pinching his chin and nodding to show his understanding, Tang En turned to Elt and asked, "Well, Then they must be caught. What will the soldiers do when they encounter these smugglers?"

Erter was looking at Frey with some suspicion at this time, and the other party was too clear about the doorway here. , as if he had been here before... Wen Yan licked his chapped lips and replied: "This depends on the situation, if it is normal, even if the soldiers encounter these smugglers, they will not take them for anything. Like, well, or dare not. Of course, they will also take some money out of filial piety, some will accept it, some will not, but in the end, they will basically let them go. "

After a pause, "But during a war like now, those nobles who hide behind don't dare to mess around." Soldiers have one more option, which is to kill all these smuggling caravans. This is a battlefield, and the dead are normal, and it is difficult to find out. In this way, we can not only solve the hatred in our hearts, but also get these smuggled goods. This cargo does not need to be handed over, and the above basically does not care. It is a customary rule and a reward for soldiers. Of course, after these goods are exchanged for real money through the black market, it is best to check all aspects, so as to avoid possible troubles in the future. "

"It still hasn't changed much..." Frey said softly when he heard the curl one's lip.

Elt glanced at Frey again, and he could probably confirm the other party in his heart. Must have been on the front lines.

“What now? Ignore them directly through? "Tang En looked at Elt and asked, of course they are the main ones here, but now Elt is obviously more anxious, so it still depends on his opinion.

After a little pondering, Elt had a severe expression flashed in his eyes, raised his head and asked, "Tang En brother, Battalion Commander Frey, I know that you are very strong and your soldiers are very good at fighting. Well, take the liberty to ask, if you make a move with all your strength, how long will it take to destroy this smuggling caravan? "

Tang En and Frey looked at each other and raised their eyebrows. Touching his nose, Tang En said, "It depends on the strength of the opponent... Well, if it's normal, it should be resolved in a few minutes." "

"General? How many minutes? Elt's body trembled, both puzzled and shocked.

"Our make a move method is a bit weird." "Explaining, scratching his head, Tang En said with an analogy, "Just like your heavy sword battalion... uh, such as the general Titus soldier battalion, if you don't know our existence in advance, and we succeed in sneak attack , it should be a matter of minutes. "

Is this the general meaning? What a joke... Although Tang En retorted in time, Elt still knew that the other party took his heavy sword battalion as a general standard, and he was naturally a little dissatisfied. But now is not the time to lose his temper. Since Tang En dared to say so, and Frey didn't shake his head to object, then he must have two brushes...

Thinking about this, Elt He slammed his palm, bowed ninety degrees and gave a big gift: "I also ask you to make a move, um, I would rather waste these few minutes than have hundreds or thousands of full-fed barbarians on the battlefield in the future. Opponents... There is another reason. Brothers died a lot this time. Many of them were ordinary soldiers, and their families did not receive much pensions. I know where the black market merchants at the Passa checkpoint are. You take most of the money from these goods, and I will send the rest back to the dead brothers. please! ”
