Chapter 1026

2014-11-06

A few days later, afternoon.

The light rain in winter is a bit annoying. Although the rain is not heavy, it is very cold in the cold wind. Looking from a distance, with the gray gloomy sky, it seems very lonely and depressing.

But now at the foot of the mountain, which is obviously a temporary military station, it has not been affected by the weather at all. The guards in icy armor stood upright at the nodes of the peripheral levels, squinting to observe all around from time to time, with a vigilant expression, as if he did not feel the biting cold at all, and his mental Condition was extremely concentrated. In the garrison, among the tents of different sizes, although there are not many people walking around, the soldiers patrolling back and forth are not slack in the slightest, and they are meticulous in cross patrolling. That is to ask people to come forward to help, hold hands, say thank you, and simply interact, like a little white flower in the black mud, with a faint aroma and a touch of warmth, which also slightly removes the haze that covers the sky...

Center position, slightly larger tent. There was a screeching light sound, water droplets splashed everywhere, the oilcloth door curtain was lifted from the inside, and a burly middle aged big man quickly walked out. First, he carefully turned around to cover the curtain to prevent coldness from invading, then raised his head to face the guard who stood on both sides in the rain, his eyes were full of bloodshot nodded, and said softly: "Go and rest, I'll come and see for a while. "It's okay, Captain, we can still hold on..."

"I know, but the leader just closed his eyes and rested, and you won't be needed for a while. Why don't you take a good rest and take a slow breath to lift your spirits, We still need you to keep vigil at night."

"Yes." Seeing the insistence of this middle aged big man, the two guards hesitated for a while, and nodded saluted and left.

Taking a breath, this middle aged big man with bloodshot eyes wiped the rain off his face, shook his head, and held the hilt of his sword in the center of the curtain.

His name is Victor. The leader of the Grey Cloth Armed Force, Joah's guard Captain. Oh, the responsibilities most recently have changed a bit, although it's still Guard Captain. But it is not his sole responsibility for Joah's safety. Instead, it was handed over to another group of people who had just come to Grey Cloth Armed Force. And he, Victor, is more like a chorus character now...

Don't get me wrong, Victor is not jealous, let alone resentful. The reason is this, the people from Eisoan are indeed more powerful and professional than their guards! And when it is clear that the gap between the two sides is too great, there is no way to bring up the idea of jealousy...even more how, the two sides have the same goal, and everything is for the sake of the leader!

"Your Excellency...""Shh!"

A group of patrolmen passed by. Seeing Victor who was guarding the door in person, he was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say hello and salute, Victor hurriedly made a silent hand seal and pointed to the tent behind him.

The patrolman came over instantly, nodded, silently salutes, and then walked by lightly.

Needless to say, inside the tent is naturally Joah who just closed his eyes and rested as Victor said.

For this new leader who has been in office for less than two years. The people up and down the Grey Cloth Armed Force are all respectful, which can be seen from the actions of these patrolmen who are subconsciously slowing down, for fear of disturbing her rest.

And Joah deserves the respect. Leading the remnants of the army to retreat to the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, constantly encouraging and even demonstrating by example, leading the army and the people to share weal and woe, and then decided to play the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains in just one year, laying down this seemingly unbelievable site with great results... It seems that there is nothing Can overwhelm her seemingly weak body, no matter how difficult the problem, how difficult the obstacle, she always has a way to calmly deal with it. Her spirit Condition is always so vigorous, whether it is on the battlefield, in the wounded barracks, or in the place where the people live, etc., as long as it is the territory of the Grey Cloth Armed Force. I can always see her silhouette and her warm smile. It seems that he will never get tired...

But, everyone gets tired!

Start after the people are aware of the problem. Federation advised her to take more rest and not to worry about anything. Every time she always agreed with a smile and thanked her, but she turned around and still ran around. Sometimes being persecuted by the adults, she always has excuses for 'quibbling'. For example, she has just had a rest, and then pulls the guards who have greeted her to prove it until no one is willing to prove that she has a new one. The excuse, for example, that he is a Magician, and his spiritual condition is the ability to watch the house, so he will not be tired...

hehe...Looking at the misty rain in the distance, Victor shook his head gently and smiled silently.

Well, that excuse does work. Since there are no other Magicians in Grey Cloth Armed Force besides her, there is no way to tell whether this remark is true or false. Over time, seeing the leader who is always full of energy, the simple people believe this excuse, and feel that he is indeed a noble and mysterious Magician, and ordinary people really can't match...

Victor smiled wryly and shook his head again. , As a bodyguard, of course he knows how tired and tired this mysterious Magician is when he is not tired. Especially in the last few days...

The sudden attack of the barbarians completely disrupted the plan here. Although the command department has been divided into two places, one on the left and one on the right guarding the deadly important road, there is no danger of being wiped out by one net, but the war will inevitably break out after all.

Playing several decades with Titus and turning the enemy into a barbarian at one point made the Grey Cloth Armed Force very uncomfortable and put more pressure on the leader, Joah.

Although in the early stage, relying on Purple Artillery and fierce and unafraid of death, the soldiers who desperately resisted, fought both sides suffer with the barbarian army, and it was a draw. But everyone can see that this stalemate will not last. In fact, the barbarian army has been inserted into the heart of the Grey Cloth Armed Force's territory like a nail. It's just that the effect is not obvious now. Once it is completely penetrated, the strength of the lift will be vented. At that time, the Grey Cloth Armed Force, which was divided into two, will inevitably face a situation where the strong man will break his wrist and lose one of them...

Not to mention the leader, Victor, the past few days, saw that he was constantly being carried down. The buried body of Paoze also looked numb. There are wounded soldiers everywhere, dead people everywhere, grave mounds everywhere, no one knows what to do... Only Joah, always nailed to the high ground on the battlefield like a flag, silently swinging his mallet and beating the drum in front of him , the sound of thunder. The soldiers below, accompanied by drum beats that have not stopped for a moment, are madly swinging their swords and attacking like a violent tide...

The battle is fought by soldiers, and the command is in charge of generals at all levels. The leader stands alone on the battlefield. . Silently playing the drums, it seemed that it didn't play any role. But a more interesting phenomenon is the position of the leader every day. No matter how close to the front, it is never lost!

Like a silent signal. Also like a symbol with a clear meaning. Joah did not mobilize the order, but all the Grey Cloth Armed Force soldiers looked at the leader's location every day, and they knew where the goal was today - not to mention winning, if you lose, you can't retreat in front of the leader anyway , take the danger away!

The result is of course that there are more losses, and almost every day all will lose some positions, and some are strategically discarded. Some were indeed never fought, but no matter which kind, when Ye Luo closed the army, the soldiers did not feel much frustration in their hearts. Because they have completed today's goal, did not disappoint the leader, and protected the leader's safety. So they were very proud, and the next day they fought with the barbarians again with this increased confidence... In this scene, it seems that the outcome of the battle with the barbarians is far less important than whether the leader is disappointed!

Of course, the leader everyday all appeared on the battlefield with drums. Naturally, it also attracted the attention of the barbarian generals. It seems that he understands why these Titus soldiers are so crazy, and the barbarians are also crazy. Every day, they pile up heavy soldiers and rush towards the leader's position...hehe...

Victor grinned again Laughed. This time it wasn't a wry smile, but a smug smile.

Because then Victor understood Joah's intentions, and yes, it's actually a little trap! The barbarians piled up a lot of troops in an attempt to kill the leader, but they didn't know that such an obvious tactical plan made it very simple to make a targeted arrangement. The battle has also changed from the original multi-point defense to only one defense now!

This is definitely a good thing for the Grey Cloth Armed Force, which is getting harder to hold. The only thing that makes people worry is the safety of the leader who is the bait.

As a matter of fact, there have been several times when the barbarians came close to making it...

Every day after paying a huge price. There are always more or less barbarian teams that can break through the many defenses and climb to the high ground! If it weren't for the Eisoan members who took over the boss's security issues in full at that time. Appeared several times, and almost survived to defend the last line of defense in the highlands. The consequences are unimaginable...

It's okay, but it's just a near miss. The leader still appears on the battlefield with drums on time every day, completely ignoring the surrounding corpse and blood, and the brutal Asura field, just bowing his head, his hair in a ponytail raised from time to time, and silently swinging the mallet. Knock the drum,

a bit, a bit, a bit...

dong-dong-dong-

At last, the light came out! Just this morning, when the leader appeared on the high and low with drums again, when the soldiers entered the battlefield again, when the bleak sun completely rose, they did not see the barbarians who were rushing frantically in the past...

Return! The barbarians are back!

Thinking of this, Victor, who instantly squeezed his fist, still waved it in the void, his face full of excitement and excitement, as if the last drum sound in the morning still echoed in his ears, the first lifts of the Joah leader. Come the head, swinging the mallet and shouting, 'We have won! ' Then, the deafening cheers of covering the mountains and plains! ! !

And then, right now, the leader had a thick wound cloth wrapped around his hands, and for the first time in the daytime, he closed his eyes and fell asleep at his desk.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled, thinking of Joah, who had told her to remind her to visit the wounded barracks just a moment ago, but the next moment suddenly thumped and lay directly on the table, Victor. I couldn't help but shook the head. At the time, I was so frightened that I thought it was the barbarian Assassin who got in. Later, it was determined that Joah was so tired that the pinnacle fell asleep...

Sleep, sleep, It's better to sleep for a while...

Thinking like this, Victor looks more vigilant and observes all around, not worried about the barbarian Assassin, that is the problem that Eisoan David and the others are responsible for solving . Now he just wanted to eliminate any source of noise around the tent, so as not to suddenly wake up Joah inside. Well, this light rain is really not at the right time...

Just when Victor was considering whether to add a layer of blocking on the tent to directly isolate the raindrops falling on the tent, he stepped on the tent. Step, the sound of hurried footsteps on the water came suddenly.

He frowned, turned his head, and froze for a moment.

Not far away, covered in mud, the entire group who has endured the hardships of a long journey walked quickly. The leader was a general with sunken eye sockets who looked extremely tired. His left arm seemed to be injured, and it was wrapped around a wooden board, making it inconvenient to move around.

"I have seen General Frey, sirs." Victor hurried up to greet him and greeted him with a salute.

That's right, it was the high-ranking army who was resisting on the other side of the main road. Frey and a group of generals. It must have also been discovered that the barbarian army had withdrawn this morning, and it was only then that they successfully passed through the main road battlefield to find this side.

"Haha, it's Victor. Why are you guarding yourself today." It was Frey who headed, patted Victor's shoulder. He was obviously familiar with the latter, "Where's the leader? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, General, the leader is all right." Paused, looking at Frey and the others, Victor looked a little bit. Hesitating, "Are you guys coming to see the leader now? But she just fell asleep..."...

Frey and the others were stunned when they heard the words, and then they understood. They know very well what Joah's character is, and there is only one possibility to fall asleep during the day. That is really tired.

"It's not a big deal, well, then let's wait for the leader to wake up..."

Before Frey's voice could fall, suddenly, a slightly lazy voice It was suddenly heard from the tent, "Is it Big Brother Lei? Come in and talk."

"Uh..." Frey started, looking at Victor, who was shaking his head with a wry smile, and turned to lift the curtain, and also Knowing that he woke up Joah, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. But since Joah has noticed it, of course it is impossible to turn around and leave now. You can only go into the account first.

Joah really just woke up, his slightly puffy eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he was taking a sip of ice-cold tea. It seemed that he wanted to use this to dispel the drowsiness that lingered on him.

"I'm sorry, boss, for disturbing your rest." As soon as he entered the tent, Frey immediately apologized.

Put down the water glass, but Joah waved his hand indifferently: "French Big Brother Lei What are you talking about... Hey, are you injured?" But he saw Frey's left side fixed with a wooden board. arm, and immediately asked in surprise.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small injury that breaks the bone, and it can be completely recovered in a few days." Frey, who had spent most of his life training on the battlefield, of course would not care about these small arm injuries. Actually for them, as long as the parts are still there. Those were just minor injuries.

But Joah frowned when he saw this: "Have you been treated? What about those temple priests...Fu Big Brother Lei, you must have taken someone to the front line yourself again. Isn't it?"

Frey looked a little embarrassed when he heard the words, as if he was guessed by Joah, and scratched his head: "It's really just a minor injury, well, a barbarian scout accidentally gave a sneak attack to the headquarters. I had no choice but to lead the troops to break through the siege, this is not my intention to take risks."

I didn't go into details, but in a few simple words, anyone could imagine the emergency situation at that time. Previously, Grey Cloth Armed Force was divided into two, but it was just a rough division. Judging from the overall strength, there are undoubtedly more soldiers on Frey's side, and the battle strength is stronger, so the pressure will naturally be heavier. As the commander-in-chief, Frey was only injured in his left arm. I have to say, this is a very lucky thing...

After saying this, Frey noticed that Joah was wrapped in a thick layer of hair. The wound cloth, like the hands of the bear's paw, looked suddenly startled: "Your hand, chief?"

"Oh, this, it's swollen." He waved the white bear's paw indifferently, and Joah also The same succinct sentence was brought. It's not that I don't want to explain, it's really dizzy, and I don't know where to explain it for a while. What can I say? Said that he had been beating the drum for several days, but his palm was slightly cracked and he was injured? Then I must explain why Duan Duan is playing the drum... Well, it's better to just take it with a sentence.

Although it felt a little weird to have two palms slashed all at once, Frey didn't ask any further questions. If you know it's okay, that's fine. He asked anxiously, "Boss, did the barbarians suddenly retreat this time... um, what did he do?"

The barbarians retreated really strangely this time, although the Grey Cloth Armed Force played well, but It's definitely not enough to scare away barbarians. If they hadn't already dispatched their scouts, it was certain that the barbarians were giving up the positions they had managed to occupy before, and gradually withdrawing from the battlefield. Joah, Frey and the others are a little bit unbelievable. You must know that the barbarians have an advantage now. If they persist for a few more days, the main point will undoubtedly be broken.

In this way, the reason for the retreat of the barbarians must not come from the battlefield, but should come from outside the battlefield...

Tang En entrusted Miksu's Eisoan members before going to the front line Talk to Joah, Frey and other acquaintances and tell them to hold on, he will solve this... In this way, after the barbarian retreated abnormally, Frey naturally immediately thought of Tang En and hurried to verify.

However, because the name of Tang En's is still taboo in Grey Cloth Armed Force, even though most of the people present knew about Tang En's, Frey stopped and changed his words when he was halfway through.

Of course Joah knew who Frey was talking about, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he simply nodded without hesitation: "Well, it's him!"

Such a positive attitude makes Frey was stunned: "The leader has already received the news? Could it be that he really... er, killed the barbarian commander?"

Joah shook his head, but his confidence remained unchanged: "I didn't receive it, I don't know, but I know he made the barbarians retreat!"

After a while, as it should be by rights, he asked the crowd, "Am I the only one who thinks this scene is familiar? ? The Grey Cloth Armed Force was in jeopardy, and he came out pulling strongly against a crazy tide. He'd done this a few times, um, of course, a bit of love, hehe... but other than him, you can think Do you have any other reasons?"

Frey and the others looked at each other in dismay when they heard the words, and when they said this, they basically had nothing to say, just like fanboy, they decided What do you do...

"Well, the leader said so...that's him..."
