The silver-gray horse rushed into the camp, and the alarm bell rang like a death-threatening one.

"Urgent assembly!" A loud roar shattered the night: "Urgent assembly!"

The Palatus people woke up from their sleep and climbed out of their tents one after another.

Torches were lit one by one, and the untidy soldiers first gathered in a team of 100 people, and then rushed to the schoolyard.

The standing army can still maintain order, while the auxiliary army is in chaos.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert didn't even wear boots, and came to the alarm bell with barefoot, carrying a helmet and wrapped in a nightgown.

"What's going on?" he asked Winters loudly.

"Fire!" Winters put down the bell hammer: "The Hurds are setting fire!"

Lieutenant Colonel Robert suddenly became frightened: "Where?"

"I don't know! I smelled the smoke!"

Lieutenant Colonel Robert pulled off his nightgown and threw it hard to the ground: "The barbarian... What a cruel method!"

The emotions were out of control for only a moment, and Robert quickly cheered up and urged Winters: "No matter what tricks he had, we just need to catch them! Go back quickly and put on your clothes, aren't you afraid of typhoid fever?"

The blanket that Winters was wearing when he left the camp had fallen to nowhere, and at this moment he was standing shirtless beside the clock pillar.

He rushed back to warn him, but he didn't feel anything at all. He heard the lieutenant colonel's words, but suddenly felt cold.

Winters raised his hand and saluted, strode towards his tent.

...

Lieutenant Colonel Robert's "vicious" evaluation, the White Lion could not hear. Even if he could hear it, he would treat it as praise.

When the alarm bell sounded at Qiaolin Camp, the camps on the riverside, the camps on the south and north highlands were attacked at the same time.

Asking for help and warning, all kinds of information came one after another.

"Where is Yasin's crazy?" Alpad was furious and kicked Maza: "What's the point of doing such a small move?"

The older he is, the more precious he sleeps. Alpad was awakened in the middle of the night, and something was wrong with Alpad's mood.

Selek held his forehead and frowned: "It's all a feint attack, just a concern. The Hurds' real tricks must be elsewhere."

A messenger rushed into the command center recklessly and a gust of cold wind was swept in.

"What kind of despicable thing is it?" Alpad was furious: "Get out and go back in!"

The messenger stepped back with his helmet and walked in again.

"explain!"

"Bei Daying came to report that there was a fire in the northwest direction of Qiaolin!"

Sekler punched the table: "Not good!"

...

At first it was the smoke that was difficult to detect, which only livestock could smell.

The horses were restless and neighing one after another.

However, in winter, the weather is dry and the westerly wind is cheering, and the fire rises very quickly.

When the troops of Qiaolin Camp set off, everyone could already see red light from the gaps in the tree trunks.

This fire can be called cutting off the firewood from the cauldron. The Palatus people wanted to build a bridge, so the white lion burned all the trees.

Winters had never seen a forest fire before, and the scene was very different from the fire in Guitu City.

It is not the trees that catch fire first, but the shrubs in the forest and the dead grass that start to burn first.

The fire rose into the sky and climbed all the way to the canopy. The canopy was rising, but the trunk was still fine.

The flames spread among the canopy, like red clouds floating on the surface.

The smoke becomes thicker and more choking to the naked eye.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert took several officers, including Winters, to reconnaise the fire.

When the fire was still shady, you could already see black and gray floating in the air.

There were at least two miles away from the fire, and several officers could no longer go forward.

A scorching wave of heat hit the face. The horse neighed, and he refused to step no matter how he beat him.

Snakes, rabbits, deer... wild beasts that are usually difficult to find, and are running towards humans like crazy.

The sound of the fire scene was like a ghost roaring, and it was like thousands of people tearing the cloth together.

There was also a "bang bang" explosion - it was a torch that burned the wood and the stones to burst.

"It's not a little bit of fire." Lieutenant Colonel Robert pulled the reins, tried his best to suppress the war horse that was about to lose control, and shouted at the others: "The barbarian probably set fires in multiple places at the same time, otherwise he wouldn't have burned so quickly."

He was quite calm in his strong fortune, but he just walked slightly anxiously, which saved Winters a lot of worry.

He covered his mouth and nose and shouted at the lieutenant colonel, because he couldn't hear clearly if he didn't shout: "The fire cannot be extinguished! You must dig the isolation belt quickly!"

"Retreat first!" Lieutenant Colonel Robert drove away.

Other officers followed.

Retreat to a safe place, and the officers dismounted for a meeting.

Winters took out the map—the map was drawn by Lieutenant Colonel Jeska.

Seeing him take out the map tube from his arms, the other officers' eyes were straight.

The situation is urgent, and I don’t have time to do the same thing as the superior and inferior.

Winters launched a light technique, pointing to the picture to explain: "The logging teams have cut out a lot of open space and roads in the forest. We have connected the logging field near the camp and widened it, and perhaps able to save some of the forest."

Lieutenant Colonel Robert didn't say nonsense and slapped his thigh: "Just do it!"

The lieutenant colonel immediately added the order: "Centurions make a judgment on the momentum, and if they really don't work, they will withdraw! The tree can still be used if it is too fire, don't turn people in!"

The commander on the scene made a decision, and the troops of Qiaolin Camp took action immediately.

The efficiency of the Palatu army was unquestionable, and each hundred-man team carried tools into the logging field.

Following the orders passed through layers, everyone took out wet towels, covered their mouths and noses with scarves, and dug out the isolation belt.

The method of setting up an isolation belt was learned by Winters from the Guitucheng Fire.

He didn't know whether it was useful or not, but even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he couldn't watch the white lion burn the forest all over.

The war horses were taken to a safe place, and Winters hiked through the forest.

His voice was increased by magic, even overwhelming the noise in the forest: "The dead grass, branches, and pine towers on the ground are all taken away! Nothing that can catch fire is allowed to stay!"

When reconnaissing the fire, Winters could see clearly: it was not the trees that took first, but the dead branches and leaves on the ground that took first.

More than 3,000 soldiers and militia were scattered in the forest and had almost lost unified command.

At this moment, the only thing that can be relied on is the will and ability of each centurion.

The Palathus should be grateful for two things: First, they have an extremely strong team of grassroots officers; Second, the vegetation in this forest is very sparse.

Destiny is so teasing.

The trees on the wasteland cannot grow big. Only by going south and north into the foothills can you see the dense primeval forest.

The vegetation of bridge forests is sparse and there is little wood to produce, which makes the Palatu people extremely troubled.

However, it is precisely this "disadvantage" that has now become an "advantage".

Not long after, reinforcements sent by the camp also arrived at the scene.

When the bridge forest was discovered, Sekler immediately sent all engineers and auxiliary soldiers, led by Colonel Bode to support him.

Colonel Bod also brought General Secler's order: "If you can save, save."

"Fart!" Lieutenant Colonel Robert was also furious: "What does it mean to save? Isn't you saved anyway?!"

The reinforcements and the original troops of the Bridge Camp were all frantically and violently.

The trees were cut down and dragged away regardless of thickness, and even the turf on the ground was shoveled off.

Not only do you shovel away the turf, but you have to turn over the soil.

The fire has burned into a line, and every second is getting closer.

The skin on Winters' face was burnt by the heat wave, and the scarf covering his mouth and nose would be dried in a few minutes.

He sent people to the river to fetch water again and again, but the water was still used up quickly and could not supply it at all.

Two militiamen ran over to find the centurion.

Their faces were so smoked that Winters couldn't see who it was.

It was not until one of them spoke that he realized it was Ish, the Ish in Ganshui Town.

"Sir, this is Old Lalo!" Ishra said to the militia beside him: "He is from Good Spring Valley, he has a way!"

Winters was bitter and had no energy to be polite: "Say!"
