Chapter 493
2014-08-16
The desert hills stretching across the sky, the dull and bleak sky, a few lone goshawks soaring against the wind, From time to time, there will be a few shrill and long screams... The scenery will never change, and the climate will always be bone-chilling. This is the front line!There are no exquisite buildings in the south, no soft-spoken people there, and no elegant and graceful landscapes... Maybe if there are really southerners who visit here, they will sigh tsk tsk about the lonely smoke outside the Great Wall. But people who live here for a long time will not have such leisure and elegance. What they see is always weathered rocks, what they smell is the cold wind mixed with the smell of blood, and they also feel that it is easy to live and die. The brutal place...
In the morning, near the leeward corner of city gate.
There are no Tang En members of Quest for the time being, and they are like the soldiers here, leaning against the gray and white wall, raising their heads a little, chatting a few words, feeling the uncommon winter light.
They haven't been here for a long time, and of course they don't have any sense of it. The reason why they maintain this style similar to melancholy philosophers is just to simply want to bask in the light and enjoy the quiet and lazy atmosphere. the taste of.
It has been a few days since the chaos at the city gate, and the results have come down long ago. It was a certainty that the defending Captain was hacked to death, and Elt also paid for it. However, it is not right to kill a soldier without authorization. But after all, it was a time of war, and the leader of his battalion did not remove him, but confiscated his soldier's pay for one year and recorded it on the record.
As for the remaining soldiers, they were not decapitated, but they were almost the same. They were assigned to Legion's single sword battalion on the front line.
The so-called single-sword battalion is actually a unit with a thin long sword. This unit has low defense and heavy casualties. It can be said that it is an out-and-out cannon fodder. This does not mean that this type of arms is not important. In fact, the scale of this type of arms accounts for the proportion of the overwhelming majority in each Legion. The reason for this is because they have the advantage of blessed by heaven, throwing away heavy armor in exchange for high speed and high frequency attacks. Of course, the result of close-to-hand combat with barbarians is also conceivable. It's like a double-edged sword, hurting both the enemy and yourself.
There were also dozens of trucks of goods, probably because Elt had asked someone to find some connections, but they were returned to Frey and the others intact. The only thing that was a little bit troublesome was that Tang En was present at the scene and injured a lot of people, and it was later heard that there were even a few officers among them. Of course, the injury was not serious. At most, it was a broken joint. It was almost enough to rest for a week, but the beam was indeed formed. The high-level officials of the level did not say anything about this. Of course, it is more likely that they were ashamed to find an explanation. After all, there were no dead people, and both sides made a move at that time. As a result, the defeat here was a mess. Naturally, I will mention it again. On the other hand, when Tang En and the others came out now, some soldiers would be very unhappy with their pointing fingers.
The past few days Tang En followed Frey's long spear breaking the formation to camp out a few Quests, but the results were a little weird. The first time was to go to a farm to save people, but by the time they arrived, the battle was over, leaving only a handful of soldiers and commoner corpses and the ruined farm... This is nothing to say, the key is In the next few combat Quests, when they arrived at the battle site where barbarians often lurking, they waited for a long time, but they didn't even see a single hair.
At first they thought it was just an accident, but after listening to the Titus soldiers chatting once, they found that their situation was similar. It was as if the barbarians disappeared out of thin air overnight. Of course, this situation is not normal. The barbarians have managed to lay down the area of several hundred kilometers, and naturally it is impossible to easily surrender.
The high level of the level attaches great importance to this. In the past few days, officers of all sizes were often called together to discuss, and the garrison force on the city wall was also strengthened a lot. Obviously, their thoughts coincide with Frey's analysis - in the near future, the barbarians may have a big move!
……
"What a joke, of course it's my length..."
"Fuck you, it's not like we didn't watch it that time. It's obvious that the barbarians are longer."
"Damn, if you don't open your eyes and talk nonsense like you, even if you don't evolve, you must have a degree."
"Bet? A gold coin!"
"Bet!"
"Tang En brother...Yo, everyone is here."
Lazy under the sun , just when David and Luke bored a bet on whether his hair was long or the barbarian's chest hair was longer, a voice came from the side, everyone looked up, and saw Ert, whose right shoulder was wrapped in a white wound cloth, was striding Come this way.
"Haha, it's time for Elt's big brother to come." David got up with a big laugh, raised his right hand, and pinched what he thought was the longest hair on top of his head, "Look. Look, do you say my hair is long, or is it a barbarian's chest hair?"
"Huh? Uh..."
...
"Ok? Come on, don't make trouble. Well, Elt's big brother." Tang En got up, patted the dust, and stepped forward to greet him, "Are you looking for me? Well, is this shoulder okay?"
"It's okay, Minor injury." Flicking his arm carelessly, Elt glanced at David inexplicably and approached.
"That's good. By the way, those brothers from the heavy sword battalion..."
Ert's injuries were scary before, mainly due to excessive bleeding. In fact, under experienced, the veteran is still very knowledgeable about evading attacks, so he is mostly a superficial wound, and there is not much problem. Because of this, he often ran to the long spear breaking the formation camp in the past few days, and Tang En and the others had a good impression of this straightforward man.
"More than 80 people have survived, and a dozen or so are in a coma..." Elt's face darkened a little. He had brought back more than 160 people before, but now he is sure that he can survive. With only half of it, it's natural to feel bad. But after all, I was used to seeing life and death, so I called the head, "Forget it, there are still so many people alive, well, recruits have been added to the level..."
After a while, Still biting his teeth, a deadly aura flickered on his face, "Damn, those city defenders... don't think that escaping to the first-line single sword battalion is over! Those who said hello, they will die there sooner or later!"
During the delay in the city gate, no one knew if there were any dead people. But apparently, they became Elt's punching bag. Tang En naturally didn't care about it, patted the other party's shoulder and comforted a few words.
"That's right." After recovering, Elt patted his head and took out a stack of crumpled golden tickets with his left arm, "That batch of smuggled goods is made a move, the total is One thousand four hundred and eighty gold coins. Well, it's a bit cheap. If you sell it on the market, at least another thousand and eight hundred will be added. If you sell it to a barbarian, I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands... But the situation here is different, we can only sell it to They."
After explaining, he picked up ten large-denomination golden tickets and stuffed them into Tang En's hands, his face full of shame, "brother sorry, I will lick my face and take these four hundred and eighty to die in battle. Brothers, send it back, do you think it's okay?"
According to the rules agreed by the two parties earlier, Tang En and the others will take most of them, while Elt will take a small part. There is no problem with the distribution. But now that both sides are familiar with each other, Ert feels that Tang En and the others have rescued him and robbed the goods, and he is just responsible for selling and taking so much, which is a bit ashamed. I believe that if it is not for the sake of the dead brother, according to his surname, it is reasonable to do this for the sake of friends.
"What are you talking about..." Tang En shook his head and put the a thousand gold ticket back into Ert's hands, reaching for the four hundred and eighty, "heavy sword battalion brother killed two hundred people in battle , what can I do with these four hundred gold coins? Let’s exchange them for points.”
He reached out his hand to block, “Absolutely not, I’ve already taken advantage of so many…”
"Oh...it's not for nothing, I have to ask the big brother to help me with something."
"That's even worse! If you have something to say, there is no reason to ask for money to help a friend. "..."
...
After some pushback, it was not until David and the others got together to talk about it, that the stubborn Elt reluctantly agreed to the proposal.
With the extra money, Elt looked both grateful and ashamed, and finally he had to thank him repeatedly and asked anxiously: "Brother Tang En, you just said that you need my help with something. Yes."
Tang En shook his head with a wry smile, and handed the golden ticket to the thin monkey beside him. This money was to be sent back to the soldiers of the long spear breaking the formation battalion who were killed in action. Said to Elt: "I want the big brother to inquire about news. Well, there are many people from Light God Temple in the front line. I want to know the location of a Knight Captain named Savian."
This is the real purpose of Tang En's. At present, there is no news from the secret agency, and at the Passa level where he is located, even if he usually asks the Titus soldiers quietly, the news is extremely blocked. Only by relying on people like Ert who have been in the front line for many years can it be possible to get news as soon as possible. And the reason for asking Savian instead of Sethman is because Savian is more famous, and it is not easy to reveal, and a word of admiration can cover up the past.
"Savian? Flower of the Knight!" Ert was stunned.
"Uh, it's her, big brother knows the news?" Tang En was overjoyed, No way, is his character really going to be violent... But obviously, Light God won't help him The man who was going to kill his younger brother, Elt, called the head: "That's not true, I just heard this famous name before. Hehe, in fact, as long as you are a frontline soldier, you should have heard this name. tsk tsk, Tang En Brother, the flower of the Knight, Savian, hehe...don't worry, I'll write it down."
With a smile that a man can understand, Elt decided to think about it. Tang En naturally won't defend anything, touching his nose is the default. At this moment, suddenly,
Ta ta ta... A sound of neat footsteps came from the direction of the city gate, like a drum of war. Immediately, rows of British warriors in azure armor with long spears came into sight.
"Uh... no, isn't it, Zhenlei long spear regiment?"
