Chapter 548

2014-08-16

Titus and Beihuang have fought for so many years, and the front line stretching several thousands li is full of wars. If you exaggerate a little, it is that almost every inch of the land here is soaked with dark red blood.

Of course, just almost. Compared with the frequent battles in three days and two ends elsewhere, the defense area of Zichen Legion is particularly peaceful. Intimidated by Ziyi's domineering power, in the past ten years, the barbarians rarely ignited the flames of war in this place. And even if there is, it is basically successfully intercepted and solved at the periphery. Therefore, the city commoner in this defense zone feels very strange. They are in a war-torn area, but they have enjoyed a quiet life for more than ten years, and they have almost forgotten their appearance as barbarians.

This is true of the barbarians, and roughly the same is true of the other Legion soldiers. So here, the rich experience of Elt and Tucker can't be used. It's not that they haven't been to the defense area of Zichen Legion, but it's basically just a wartime need. Get familiar with the terrain here.

In this case, everyone couldn't, so Suo moved towards the east and walked straight, thinking that he would always meet the patrol soldiers of Zichen Legion. However, they didn't know that Tiu had already brought people to do the diligent demolition and relocation work, pulling up most of the military strongholds outside the Zichen Legion defense zone. So if they don't spend 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 it. For them, it is a rare happiness to be able to walk swaggeringly in the sun after spending more than ten days of escape. Coupled with the fact that they had just barely survived, those in the team were joking, telling dirty jokes, etc., it was very lively.

While talking and laughing, everyone didn't realize how long they had been walking, maybe half a day, because the sky was getting darker and dusk was approaching.

It was at this time that the team finally encountered a group of soldiers in standard armor. Or more prepared to say, they were surrounded by each other. The crowd did not panic. For people like them who entered without asking, it was inevitable that the other party should be careful.

Sure enough, after approaching, it was probably clear that this side was not a tall and strong barbarian. The surrounded soldiers stopped immediately, put down their weapons, and then several burly silhouettes came up to them.

A standard military salute, "Zichen Third Army Light Armored Battalion, Butters!"

Returned with a military salute, "Thunder Fourth Army heavy sword battalion, Elt. Tomahawk Battalion, Taka."

"New Grey Cloth Armed Force long spear breaking the formation Battalion, Frey."

...

Frontline Three Great Legions are competing openly and secretly, but now it's a time of war, so they're less intrigued than usual.

Introduced in this way, the big guy named Butters does not have the arrogance of being a Zichen Legion, his surname is quite bold, and he is also very talkative. And Frey and the others originally defected to others and avoided risks for a while, so naturally they agreed. So soon everyone got in touch and went to the nearest level together.

Although it was temporarily determined that Tang En and the others were Titus soldiers, Butters naturally asked them why they came here. Tang En and Frey have discussed this point. First of all, we can't say anything about Weiner framing them. The other party is also a lieutenant. Although this is Zichen Legion, it shouldn't be Any connection with Werner, but in order to avoid possible complications, the best option is to keep it under wraps until it is resolved.

The next thing is to break out of the encirclement of tens of thousands of barbarians. This can be said, but the key is that the other party doesn't believe it... So in the end, Frey just vaguely said that he came out of the three camps. Patrol, and immediately encountered barbarians attacking, can only evacuate here, heavy losses along the way, there are only so many people left here.

This is of course believable, because it is the truth in the first place. And after drilling the ravine for ten days, the image of everyone at this time is almost the same as that of a savage. That's why Butters and the others were so close just now, and they put down their weapons with suspicion.

After listening to Frey's words, Butters nodded, looked at the crowd and said with emotion: "We have heard about the situation on the wilderness side, barbarians are almost everywhere. You are more than a thousand people. Wearing wilderness, it is a miracle that so many people can survive here."

Frey and the others couldn't help but stare at each other and smile bitterly. There will be more people who will survive here.

The expressions of the few people were misunderstood by Butters, and they consoled them: "Don't be too sad, die in battle, this can be considered the destination of the soldiers. The next time you see the barbarians, If you torture a few more people, you should avenge them."

Although it is a misunderstanding, this remark also makes sense. Tang En and several others echoed nodded, and then Elt changed the subject and asked casually: "But the brothers don't seem to be surprised that we are here?"

"Haha, of course." Butters raised his head and laughed a few times, explaining, "Some brothers don't know, you are not the first group to come here, a few days ago, other teams from the Thunder Legion often avoided our defense zone. But like you, thousands of people It is the first person who can cross the wilderness with Yuren, basically all the people here are division-level establishments, it seems that there are still a few generals, and the team has suffered heavy losses."

In the previous words Quite proud, probably because the strength of Zichen Legion is enough to become a refuge. But that's okay, because that's what it is.

Frey and the others were suddenly nodded when they heard the words, yes, of course, they were the only ones who could think of running here. In the wilderness situation at the time, it was indeed a suitable refuge under the unfavorable situation of the war.

"Oh, that's right." Frey seemed to remember something and said quickly, "When we came... we saw tens of thousands of barbarians. What's going on?"

Butters grinned and smiled when he heard the words: "Oh, they, haha... They have been here for almost a week, and they are only working hard to demolish our abandoned military stronghold on the periphery, but they dare not go deep inside."

Frey was surprised: "Abandoned?"

Nodding, "Well, there has been no real war here for several years, and the buildings in some military strongholds are seriously aging and dilapidated. We also I’m having a headache, let’s dismantle it, it’s a huge project. And I’m a little reluctant to give it up, after all, it can be used if we make do. If we don’t dismantle it, the new one can’t be built.” He scratched his head to express his distress, and then Butters happily said with a smile, "But it's alright now, these barbarians spent a week tearing down most of them, which saved us a lot of worry."

"..." Tang En and Frey heard the words and looked At each other in dismay, they were all speechless, and then they collectively put a hand seal on their chests and mourned for the tens of thousands of barbarians they had just seen.

But Butters seemed to be still a little dissatisfied, and buckled the sword at his waist: "Of course, our commander ordered that no attack be allowed, otherwise, these barbarians would not be allowed to wander in our defense zone like this... ...Forget it, it's boring to say that. Well, you're lucky, luckily you didn't run into those tens of thousands of barbarians."

"Uh...hehe, yes, luckily I didn't run into it." Lei's smile was a little stiff, and when he glanced at Tang En, the corners of his mouth twitched. Immediately changed the subject, "I see those barbarians are in a hurry, as if they were fleeing for their lives, is there any action on your side?"

"Well? He shook his head and said, "I'm not quite clear about this, I haven't heard of it. But this may be an important piece of information. I'll report it to my superiors after sending you to the checkpoint. Well, thank you brothers." Butters was just a The battalion commander, who is still patrolling, obviously did not receive the above combat instructions, so naturally he did not know.

"Haha, Butter's brother is too polite. We just happened to see it, and we should not be thankful for things that come out of our mouths."

 …

After chatting like this, before the sky was completely dark, a vague level finally appeared in everyone's sight, and there were several firelights jumping on the wall.

With Butters leading the way, everyone entered the level after being simply searched by the soldiers guarding the city.

Titus' levels are similar, and all you can see are some defense equipment and patrol soldiers. The same is true here, there will be no special things because it is Zichen Legion.

Sent to the city gate in the level, Butters pointed to the soldier beside him, and said, "Next, brothers, just follow him, um, that is, simply register, and then they will open a way for you. It's a routine."

"Okay, thank you Butters brother for this trip, we'll come over and invite you for a drink when you're free."

"Haha, that's good, I'll wait... ..."

After a few greetings, Butters turned and strode away. But it's not the wilderness outside, but somewhere in the level, it should be to report the barbarian retreat information that Frey just said.

Tang En and the others followed the soldiers leading the way and turned left. They didn't go far before they saw a house made of thick stones. The soldier who led the way pushed open the door of the house, said a few words with a smile, and seemed to have a good relationship with the people inside, then waved his hand and made an invitation to hand seal to invite Frey to enter.

The so-called registration, which is similar to Tang En, these outsiders write down their rank and the Legion they belong to. Then the other party will check it, and after confirming it is correct, they will open a road. With this road, their team can walk through the city behind. Of course, the other party will also provide food and accommodation until they leave this defense area and return to the Legion.

This kind of work originally only needed Frey, Elt, and Taka to do it, but Tang En was at the front, and was invited in by the soldier who led the way as an officer.

Tang En didn't know about these matters until he came in. He touched his nose, but he didn't care and stood aside consciously. Immediately, under boredom, he observed this checkpoint office from left to right.

To be honest, it's very simple here, just a table and a few benches. The only thing that stood out was the standing wooden cabinet at the back, which was similar to a bookcase. After Frey and several people registered, a soldier opened the wooden cabinet and took out a stack of papers.

Tang En's eyes were sharp, and he saw the handwriting of the Thunder Fourth Army on the paper. Suddenly, I knew that this was the certificate the other party checked. Probably noticing Tang En's sight, Frey came over and introduced: "For serving officers, the Titus military will record it. Of course, this is just a checkpoint, so some may only be at the battalion level, and there is only simple information such as names. When we enter the latter city, we will receive a registration, and the inspection will be more detailed at that time."

Tang En knew nodded, after all, this place is close to the front line, and now it is a war time, Management naturally dare not be sloppy. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, unexpectedly,

"Yi!"

Tang En and Frey turned their heads subconsciously, and saw Ert's body in front of the table shaking violently, almost uncontrollably. Immediately, Taka on one side probed over, and in an instant, it was almost the same reaction. Because the two were facing away from each other, Tang En didn't know what was going on. However, from this strong body movement, Tang En has reason to believe that their faces must be shocked now.

At this time, Elt had turned around, holding the booklet in his hand, which should be the booklet they had just registered, and stepped directly in front of Tang En and Frey, pointing to the On one of the pages of the book, with a strange expression: "Look."

Tang En bowed his head, and the pages were lined with lines of writing. Some pens use Dragon Snake, which can penetrate the back of the paper, showing a good foundation. Some pens use earthworms, baring fangs and brandishing claws, simple and natural...

As for Elt's stubby, turnip-shaped fingers pointing to the position, the handwriting is excellent, and it seems quite powerful. What is written is, the thunder lieutenant general, Werner!

Wenner? Sounds a little familiar... Before Tang En could react, a hoarse voice that suppressed anger to the extreme rang out,

"Red, Mao, Weasel!"

"Uh ..." (To be continued.)
