Frontline, Passa Checkpoint."No way, and Elt again? This..."
"This must be a sin! Haha..."
"Okay, don't Crap, hurry up!"
......
Through the city gate, which is heavily guarded and ready for battle, some long spears that didn't know whether to cry or laugh broke the formation camp entirely The group stepped into wilderness again.
These days, the situation on the front lines is getting more and more bizarre. Basically, there is no trace of the barbarians in the large army. Instead, the barbarian scouts are very frequent outside the military checkpoints. This abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of the Titus military. However, now Titus is on the defensive in the grand strategy. Apart from sending more troops to various military points, there is not much that can be done.
Under such circumstances, the Zhenlei Long Spear regiment and other regiments came to the Passa checkpoint one after another. However, it did not happen after that, which made Elt's wicked imagination, Kolo's long spear regiment and Frey's long spear breaking the formation battalion played against each other. Originally, only Elt knew about Frey's other identity. He had promised to keep it secret, so how could others know that there was still a legendary figure hidden here. Moreover, Ke Luo and the others did not stay at the checkpoint for a long time. After the checkpoint command received the military order, they left the checkpoint on the same day and went to the three directions of the defense area to be stationed.
In the next few days, Tang En and the others launched several small quests. The situation was similar to before. Except for a few barbarian scouts who came to observe, they found nothing. Level break. Originally, this calm situation should have continued until the barbarian movement came, but today, something ridiculous happened...
Ert's previous injury was not serious. The recuperation has fully recovered, and his battered heavy sword battalion has also been successfully replenished and restored to its original state. So this morning, he took the heavy sword battalion and another tomahawk battalion to patrol the defense area. Originally, this was nothing, and Tang En and the others did not encounter any special situation after doing patrol Quests like this many times. But just after lunch at noon, Frey suddenly received an order from the command, saying that Elt and the others were surrounded and needed to be rescued urgently...
After seeing the military order, Tang En they were speechless at the time. You know, this is Elt's first combat Quest after recovering from injury, and others have been patrolling dozens of times, but it was his turn to be recruited... So it's no wonder that Luke sighed and felt Elt This must be doing too much sin, and now it is killing.
But even though he was joking, Elt was their friend after all. Reasonable in every circumstance, of course, they wanted to be saved, so after hurriedly packing up, the long spear breaking the formation battalion immediately departed from the city. The gate set off to the location of the incident.
That's how, Tang En and the others, who set off in a hurry, didn't know it, when they were running into the wilderness. Above the city gate, there is a middle-aged brawny man in Advanced armor standing silently, his eyes are somewhat pitiful, as if he is looking at a dying person, until the long spear breaking the formation battalion disappeared in the mountain range, just shook his head , a whispered words dissipated in the cold wind.
"Thunderbolt breaking the formation team... it's a pity..."
After saying this unintelligible remark, the middle-aged brawny man turned around and was about to leave, but then his body Just a meal, frowning and looking towards the west, where a single person riding alone is Rapid Speed quickly arrived, although the speed is fast enough, but still keeps urging the horse, looking very anxious.
Scout... Which unit was trapped and came back for help? middle age person thought so.
This situation often occurs on the front line, just like the last time Elt encountered a barbarian team, after judging that he could not win or run, he quickly sent scouts back to report for help. The military situation is like fire, if one minute is delayed, the war situation is likely to undergo major changes. In this case, the scouts with heavy burdens naturally tried their best to rush back.
Arriving near the city gate, the riddled with scars horse finally couldn't stand the damage. Immediately, the man obviously did not expect this situation, and fell down, but fortunately, he was still agile, and kept rolling after landing, avoiding the bad luck of being crushed to death by a horse.
The city gate soldiers rushed over after being criticized out in surprise. As soon as they helped the scout, they heard a long hoarse roar: "The barbarians are here, the barbarians are here..."
The barbarians often come here. As a soldier on the front line, it's no surprise that the soldiers on the front line have long been surprised. But in this recent weird atmosphere and this complicated and unspeakable tone, the meanings contained in these four words are naturally not as simple as they appear on the surface...
The barbarian is finally here...
p>
……
Tang En and the others naturally didn’t know what happened at the city gate behind him. Ert was trapped at the outer perimeter of the defense, dozens of kilometers away. So they are running wild in the wilderness at this time.
At this time, the advantage of the long spear breaking the formation battalion can be seen. After all, rescue is important, but if you are ambushed in this situation, your entire army will be wiped out. But they now have Eisoan members on their side as scouts, so they don't have any worries about safety, and naturally they don't have any scruples.
Two hours later, the long spear breaking the formation battalion was approaching the perimeter of the zone. In fact, the so-called defense zone is the range that the level can roughly control. Of course, this doesn't mean that there are absolutely no barbarians here, it's just that the probability will be smaller.
Arriving here, it was already not far from where Elt's accident happened on the military order, but the team's speed gradually slowed down. Soldiers are not iron men, and they are naturally tired from marching for such a long time. And from a security point of view, this is also necessary. After all, even if the Eisoan members can find the enemy early, the soldiers under this Condition will not have any battle strength.
"tsk tsk, if you save that guy Elt again this time, he will definitely ask him to invite us to drink." Although the running is so far away, Eisoan's people have long been used to it, and even more than this during training It is still farther to run, and it still adds weight, of course, there will be no sense of fatigue. So as soon as the team slowed down, David smacked his lips and proposed enthusiastically.
"That's a must." Luke took over the conversation, said with a smile, "hehe, but before that, it's best to find him a church to go to."
>"Haha..."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and they were really speechless about Elt's luck.
Tang En also chuckled twice when he heard this, shook his head, then eyebrow raised and looked towards the left side. There was a young man in black armor who arrived at Rapid Speed quickly. That was Os, who, like Luke and the others, was the old man of the first Eisoan... Strange, why did he come back before he reached his destination? Did you find a barbarian?
Tang En was not the only one who noticed this. Frey, David and the others discovered this situation one after another, and they were all a little surprised when they stopped laughing.
While guessing, Os was approaching, with a strange expression on his face, and reported: "French Big Brother Lei, two battalions of Titus soldiers were found 500 meters away from the left, er... It should be Elt. They." Since they are the first phase of the elderly, they all lived and died in the mine [***] with Frey, so the title is naturally different.
"What?" Frey started to hear the words, only thinking that there was something wrong with his ears. They hadn't even tried to save him, so why did Ert come out on his own... Then he thought of something, the complexion changed : "How many people do they have now? Did they find the pursuers?"
Tang En and the others also came back to his senses at this time, all frowning, thinking similar to Frey. Obviously, everyone thinks that Elt and the others are breaking out of the siege by themselves, and now they are leading the remnants to be hunted down by the barbarians.
Os can naturally think of the things that everyone can think of, his face is even more strange, and he scratched his head: "It's a little strange... Ert and his two battalions are both neat, and looking at their speed, It doesn't look like they were hunted down, er...it looks like they came back from patrolling."
"Uh..." Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, looking at each other in dismay, they were all Some stunned.
Spreading his hands, Os turned his head and said, "I've informed Elt... oh, I'm already here."
Tang En looked up and saw the continuously soldiers From the hill on the left not far away, there are those with long-handled battle axes and those with heavy swords. In addition to the Eisoan members who were leading the way, there were two other people walking in the front. One was a big, unfamiliar man with a strong body and bronze armor, and the rest was the familiar Elt.
It's really him, what's the situation...
"Hey, Big Brother Lei, Tang En brother...Everyone is here." Elt saw this side After everyone, they were also full of surprise, "Didn't you guys have no Quest today, why did you come here?"
Everyone was a little speechless when they heard the words, Frey smiled bitterly and greeted them: "We I received an order at noon, saying that you were trapped, so why don't you come to rescue."
"Trapped?" Ert scratched his hair and looked blank, "No, we just patrolled. I'm about to go back."
...
As soon as the two sides met and exchanged news, there was some unfathomable mystery immediately.
"This is the wrong order from the command." The big man in bronze armor, that is, the commander of the Tomahawk Battalion Taka, said a little carelessly.
"Impossible." Frey shook his head in denial without the slightest hesitation, took out a written military order from his arms, pointed and said, "Look, there is a rescue team here, um, that is your team's Number. If it was a command error, how could it be so accurate?"
"Oh? Then what's the matter?" Not all Titus officers had a favorable opinion of the Grey Cloth Armed Force, Ert also became acquainted with them because he was rescued and because of his relationship with Frey. This Taka didn't care about Grey Cloth Armed Force, and now Frey denied it again, and his tone was a bit blunt.
Frey frowned, looked up at him: "Captain Taka, we are looking for the reason now."
curl one's lip, Taka said: "I don't think it is necessary It's so troublesome, we won't be clear if we go back now."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to go back!" Tang En, who had been silent for a while, breathes deeply and ordered, "David, Miksu, Luke, Austrian Si, you are now leading people to explore in four directions, ten miles away!" Ten miles, this is far beyond the scope of the general team's investigation. However, David and the others did not hesitate, and immediately turned and left.
Once the army goes to war, all kinds of command information are mixed. Given the wrong order, it may be natural to have a surname. But Tang En and the others don't think this way, because it brought back some bad memories for them. When Bole casually gave a 'wrong order', they were surrounded by many people until they fought for dozens of days. After traveling for hundreds of kilometers, he finally crawled out of the pit in the mine and recovered a small life. For this reason, Eisoan has only one downsizing, which makes them dare to be careless now?
"What do you mean?" Taka complexion sank, angrily scolded, "This is not you playing war games in the ravines, you are suspicious of the command and have violated the military regulations of soldiers!"
Tang En, as if he had not heard of it, continued: "Also, I suggest that the team find a place to hide immediately to avoid emergencies."
"Okay." Frey is also a A decisive person, although he may not believe that the situation will end up like that, but the current situation does make him suspicious, and this is enough to make him agree with Tang En's suggestion.
"Absurd! Do you know what you're doing?" Taka looked at Frey with the eyes of a lunatic, and taunted his hands, "I admit, most of the Titus military are against you Grey Cloth Armed Force doesn't like me, including me. But here is the front line, the battlefield! We won't be so mad that we will stab our own people in the back, hehe, but you, I think you are addicted to the persecution!"
Frey didn't get angry with this sarcastic sarcasm, and he faced calmly said: "It's precisely because this is a battlefield! What are you worried about? Just find a place to avoid it. If you are sure that no accident happened, I'll see you later. Come back again. And if there is, because of your stubbornness, will hundreds of your subordinates die with you?"
"You fart!" The calm words did not have the momentum of shouting loudly , but as long as there are good reasons, there is a taste of words that make people speechless. Taka opened his mouth, but in the end he could only respond with a foul language.
However, after Frey finished speaking, he ignored it and instructed the soldiers to set up a defensive formation, ready to go. Taka's face was gloomy, and he muttered 'crazy', 'I just won't go' and other words, but did not respond.
Elt is now caught in the middle, looking at Frey and Taka left and right, a little embarrassed.
At this moment, the silhouettes of David and the others have not disappeared in all directions, and the scout Rapid Speed, which was sent by the previous team when the previous team was advancing, ran back on the right side, and those who were going in that direction were halfway there. Luke touched his head, and then the two turned around at the same time.
Tang En and Frey looked at each other, their hearts sank.
Sure enough, as soon as the members of the second phase of Eisoan arrived in front of them, they said anxiously: "Three miles to the right, about five hundred barbarians are coming this way."
"Fake!" "Damn!"
Tang En and Frey complexion changed, clenched their fists and cursed at the same time.
Elt barely suppressed the stormy sea in his heart, made a decision secretly, and said, "I know there is a hidden place around here, everyone come with me." Then he turned to the dazed Taka and said, "Let's go, no matter what, we can't stay here."
…
…
There is no hidden place in Ert’s mouth. How far, in just a few minutes, everyone arrived at their destination.
This is a small canyon surrounded by hills on all sides, and from the outside it looks like the rest of the wilderness. But after passing through the slightly narrow path, there is a clear open space.
The surrounding hills can guarantee concealment, and the open space is enough for three battalions of 900 people to live. What is even more commendable is that the roads leading to the outside are all narrow paths that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and are indeed excellent terrain.
After arriving here, Frey and the others did not hesitate to place the soldiers in the clearing, and then quickly climbed up the hill on the other side. After reaching the top of the mountain, the field of vision is extremely wide, and they can also see where they were just now.
As far as they can see, everyone is a little silent.
At this time, the mountain road there was filled with barbarians dressed in crude animal skins. From their current point of view, they can only see the backs of the barbarians, but the number of people can be confirmed, it is indeed around five hundred. This number is not large, but it is enough to destroy Ert's heavy sword battalion and Taka's battle axe battalion in a short time.
"Passing by, it must be passing by... This is the battlefield, yes, that's right..." After seeing the five hundred barbarians, Taka looked a little lost and kept whispering.
"Passing by your mother, don't you have eyes, they are obviously going to the checkpoint in this direction." Luke glanced and cursed unceremoniously.
"Impossible!" Taka turned his head fiercely, his face a little tangled, "Could it be that the command will still harm us? And how could they possibly determine the movement of the barbarians!"
" To be precise, it's not you... but us!" Frey's face was condensed, deadly aura flashed away, "In terms of time, a normal team starts from the checkpoint, and it is impossible to arrive here in such a short time. That is to say, if we hadn't been faster, we would have collided directly with these five hundred barbarians halfway through. ”
Elter moved in his heart when he heard the words, looked at Tang En beside him, and couldn’t help nodding. He knew what kind of abilities these people in black armor had, and the long spear breaking the formation battalion The scouts are all these people. Without the safety hazards, the team will naturally move much faster.
"And it is very simple to determine the movements of these barbarians. After a while, Frey continued with Gloomy, "Don't forget, we now have several regiments of elite troops guarding us in the east, west, and north directions. As long as they give a little guidance, they can not only easily determine the time, but also induce the barbarians to leave." on this road. "
"That's ridiculous!" Are you trying to say that the headquarters and the elite corps colluded, and such a big battle was just to eradicate your trifling three hundred people? is this necessary? Taka still shook his head in disbelief, but after listening to Frey's analysis, his previous irony was no longer there. The fact is obvious, a wrong order was a coincidence, but there are countless wilderness mountains, but these barbarians chose this one, Is this also a coincidence?
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore! Frey had lost the patience to continue explaining, raised his head a little, and showed an imposing manner for the first time, "Actually, they really need it!" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Elt with some questioning in his eyes.
Raising his hand, Elt looked at Frey with a clear gaze, and said decisively: "I swear to Light God... ...not what I said! ”
If it is really persecution, it only takes 150 barbarians to trap and kill the ordinary camp. But who is Frey? The elite team - the Captain of the Thunder Gun breaking the formation team. If you want to persecute such people, if you don't show the ability of a trump card, it is purely inviting humiliation to oneself.
And Frey is puzzled. This is where the doubts lie. It can be said that, apart from the rescue of the heavy sword battalion, these days, the long spear breaking the formation battalion has basically never fought, and the actual battle strength is not known at all. In this way, it is natural for the only person who knows him The true identity of Ert is a little suspicious.
After watching Ert for a few seconds, Frey nodded, and seriously said: "Sorry. "
"It's fine. "shook the head, Elt said with a bitter smile, "If it were me, I would be so suspicious. "
The words fell, patted on Taka's shoulders with some unfathomable mystery, "I can't tell you the specific reason...but if it is really framed, they do have it!" "
"..." (To be continued.)
