Chapter 90: 89. Hunting 1
Chapter 90 89. Hunting 1
Afterwards, the top leaders of the Bena Legion Expeditionary Force agreed that the security guards outside the camp failed to play their due role, which led to the success of the evil spirits attacking the camp.
If the Constructed Knights hadn't arrived the day before, the damage to the camp would have been even more severe. Nearly one-third of the soldiers of the 58th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment died in this attack on the camp.
Cleaning up the battlefield is a very cruel thing. There are always endless corpses waiting to be disposed of. This is the depths of Ganda Er Mountain. There is no way to transport the remains of infantry soldiers back to their hometowns. In order to avoid direct burial The remains of the dead will eventually turn into the lowest skeleton soldiers of the undead family, and the remains need to be burned on the spot.
There are too many people who died in this battle, and there is no way to burn them one by one. We can only spread pine branches on the empty field outside the camp, place the remains of the soldiers neatly on the pine branches, and then continue to spread a layer of pine branches on top of them. Thick layers of pine branches were laid on top of the remains of the soldiers, and they were placed in the shape of a huge pyramid.
Pour a can of kerosene on it, and then Marquis Solomon Bowen from the Moyunling Camp of the Beinar Legion Expeditionary Force personally lit the fire.
The whole ceremony lasted the whole afternoon, and the Marquess of Solomon Bowen waited until dusk for the chance to light it. The bonfire continued to burn all night before it gradually went out.
The relics and identity tags of the soldiers were confiscated, and put into wooden boxes together with a part of the pension. These wooden boxes, shaped like jewelry boxes, filled a carriage.
The second team of the fourth brigade of the 57th Regiment, where He Boqiang belongs, because of their outstanding performance in the battle, the soldiers of the team collectively received hundreds of merit points from the military department, and these merit points were shared equally among everyone in the second team. Some are pitifully few, but it is said that this is already the highest honor of heavy armored infantry soldiers.
As the "foreign aid" of the second team, these meritorious deeds sent by the military are meaningless to He Boqiang.
This time when the evil spirits attacked the camp, He Boqiang also lost his Roman sword, which he hadn’t used much yet.
Although it is certain that he will be able to get it back, He Boqiang is still somewhat irritable.
Maybe it's because he doesn't have his own share of meritorious deeds, maybe it's because of the sword, and many factors mixed together, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
In the event of the evil spirits attacking the camp, Baron Sidney gained a lot. Not only did he gain a lot of merit, but also the courage he displayed during the battle made him officially come into the sight of the high-level military and gained some The high-level affirmation, Marquis Roman Bowen even invited him to dinner, which is a very rare honor among young nobles.
Regarding the whereabouts of He Boqiang's Roman sword, Suldak got information through some connections, and it is currently stored in the warehouse of the Heavy Cavalry Regiment as a spoil of war.
It is said that the heavy cavalry beheaded an evil spirit, and the Roman sword was seized from it. At that time, the evil spirit was injured, but someone must prove that this remade Roman sword belonged to the second team just work.
For this matter, Suldak asked to see Baron Sidney. Out of a good impression of Suldak, the young baron decided to help them get back the remade Roman sword.
After a lot of twists and turns, the Roman sword finally returned to He Boqiang's hands, but don't expect to be able to get it out of the heavy cavalry for the meritorious service gained by participating in killing evil spirits.
In response to this attack on the camp, the military department issued an order requiring each infantry regiment to increase the number of patrol teams outside the camp.
He Boqiang's second team had completed the patrol mission at the foot of Moyunling Mountain before, so this time Baron Sidney assigned the second team to continue to act as a scout team. This time it was not just to monitor the evil spirits at the foot of the mountain In order to make some preparations for the army's next attack on Moyun Ridge.
If this matter falls on other infantry squads, it may be a very difficult task.
But for the soldiers of the second team who have experience in hunting evil spirits, it is a very rare job. At least during the patrol process, they can have the opportunity to hunt evil spirits again. For a small team of fighters, it is a fortune.
As the captain of the second team, Suldak felt that under the current circumstances, it was too dangerous to hunt and kill evil spirits while going out on patrol.
However, the soldiers of the second team were in high spirits, and everyone wanted to make another profit.
Since this was the common request of all the soldiers, Suldak agreed to see if he could find an opportunity to hunt and kill the evil spirits during the patrol.
After several battles in the past few days, the nodes in He Boqiang's body have continued to light up to the tenth node. These nodes are basically connected into a large piece on the shoulders, and the faint glow is constantly in He Boqiang's spiritual world. Flashing, and constantly nourishing He Boqiang's body.
He Boqiang has always wanted to communicate with other fighters to see if other people have the same wonderful feeling as himself.
Speaking of it, the light on those nodes is very similar to the holy light descended from the statue of the demon god, and its main function is probably to make oneself have stronger resilience.
Due to He Boqiang's own language barrier, he has been unable to communicate with Suldak on this matter.
Baijialiu Swordsman once told He Boqiang that his body can perceive sacred magic elements, and he may become a magic swordsman in the future.
Leaving the camp at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, the second team headed west along the edge of a long and narrow gutter.
The expeditionary force has set up sixteen sentry posts on the west side of the barracks. Since the early hours of yesterday, there has been no news from two of the sentry posts.
This morning, the fighters who went to change defense also lost contact.
The task of the second team this time is to find out the situation there, and if conditions permit, they will continue to explore westward.
When the team members walked out of the camp, the fire outside the camp had not been completely extinguished, and a group of soldiers from the infantry regiment were repairing the wooden fence of the camp. In order to avoid the same situation from happening next time, the wooden fence outside the camp was expanded into two layers. Yes, and the loess will be rammed between the two rows of wooden fences, at least the bed crossbow must be transported to the fence.
In addition to this, four watchtowers will be built around the camp.
Suldak led the second team to the west for nearly one kilometer. Standing on the top of the tree, he could clearly see the camp behind him. There was no one at the place where the guard post was originally marked on the map. Suldak, He Boqiang and Da The three beards climbed to the tops of several trees. The branches and leaves here are very dense, and it is also suitable for setting up secret sentries here. However, the secret sentry that should have appeared in front of Suldak has not appeared for a long time.
He Boqiang hugged the trunk with both hands, and climbed up the tree in twos and threes. On the first horizontal branch, He Boqiang found a huge claw mark...
This was clearly left by the evil spirit. It continued to extend along this claw, and sure enough, some newly broken branches were found on the tree. In addition, the tree was also stained with some blood.
He Boqiang called Suldak who was on the tree next to him. There were very few traces left on the tree. Except for a few claw marks on the trunk, there were not even some traces of fighting. Obviously, the evil spirit was accurate. He found this sentry post and assassinated the soldiers who stayed on the sentry post.
But the soldiers who came to change defenses in the morning also disappeared inexplicably.
Suldak selected a new recruit from the team and asked him to climb a tree next to him to temporarily replace the soldiers who changed the defense at the dark sentry. Before the military headquarters sent a new recruit, he needed to stay at the sentry to take charge. For the security mission here, Suldak also gave this recruit a magic signal flare, and asked him to release the signal flare in his hand to warn everyone if he encountered a situation.
The second team then continued to touch the next sentry post...
