Chapter 395
Frontline, Passa Level.
"No, again, Elter again? This..."
"This must be a crime! Haha..."
"Okay, stop talking, go quickly!"
...
Through the accumulation of heavy troops and waiting for the city gate, some amused and crying spears broke through the camp and stepped into the wilderness again.
These days, the situation on the front line has become more and more strange. There are basically no traces of large troops of barbarians. In addition to military checkpoints, barbarian scouts are extremely frequent. This abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of the Bran military. However, Bran is now in a passive defensive position in the grand strategy, and in addition to increasing troops to various military key points, there are actually not many things that can be done.
In this case, several regiments of troops including the Thunder Sword Pillars arrived at the Passa level one after another. However, there was no such thing as Elter's evil imagination. Kollo's Thunder Sword Pillars fought with Frey's spear breaking camp. Originally, only Elter knew about Frey's other identity. He had promised to keep it confidential, how could others know that there was a legendary figure hidden here? Moreover, Kollo and others did not stay at the level for a long time. After receiving the military order at the level command, they left the level that day and headed to three directions in the defense zone.
In the following days, Tang En and the others took out several small tasks, and the situation was similar to before. Apart from catching a few barbarian scouts who came to observe, they found nothing, and finally stayed at the level to rest. Originally, this calm situation should have continued until the movement of the barbarians came, but today, something that made people laugh and laughed at...
Elter's injuries were not serious before. After a week of rest, he had recovered completely. His crippled Heavy Sword Battalion was successfully replenished and restored to its original state. So this morning, he took Heavy Sword Battalion and another Tomahawk Battalion to patrol the defense zone. Originally, this was nothing, Tang En and the others had done patrol missions like this many times but did not encounter any special situation. But just after lunch at noon, Frey suddenly received an order from the command center, saying that Elter and the others were surrounded and needed to go to rescue urgently...
After seeing this military order, Tang En and the others were speechless. You know, this was Elter's first combat mission after he recovered from injury, and it was fine for others to patrol dozens of times, but it was his turn to be hit... It's no wonder that Luke sighed, feeling that Elter must have committed too many evil deeds, and now he is trying to die.
However, despite being joking, Elter was also their friend after all, so he naturally had to save him because of his feelings and reason. So after quickly cleaning up, he broke through the camp and immediately set off from the city gate to the place where the incident happened.
That's it, Tang En and others who set out in a hurry did not know. As they were running into the wilderness, a middle-aged strong man in high-end armor stood silently above the city gate. His eyes were a little pity, as if he was watching the dying person. He shook his head until the spear broke through the camp and disappeared into the mountains. He whispered and dissipated in the bitter cold wind.
"Thunder gun breaking the formation... What a pity..."
After saying this unknown sentence, the middle-aged strong man turned around and was about to leave, but then he paused and frowned and looked at the west. A single man was running towards him. Although the speed was fast enough, he continued to whip the horse and looked very anxious.
Scout... Which unit was trapped back to seek help? The middle-aged man thought so.
This situation often happens on the front line, just like when Elter encountered a barbarian team last time. After judging that he could not win or run away, he quickly sent a scout back to report to the news for help. The military situation was like fire, and if it was delayed for a minute, the situation of the battle was likely to change significantly. In this case, the scout who was burdened with him would naturally do his best to rush back.
When he arrived near the city gate, the scarred horse finally couldn't stand the destruction, and his whine and neighed. His front legs became weak and he fell down with the raised mud. The man immediately obviously did not expect this situation and fell down. Fortunately, he was still agile and kept rolling after landing, avoiding the bad luck of being crushed to death by the horse.
After screaming, the soldiers from the city gate rushed over. As soon as they helped the scout up, a hoarse roar came out: "The barbarian is here, the barbarian is here..."
Barbarians often come, and as soldiers on the front line, they are already commonplace. If they are more serious, they may have become aesthetically exhausted. But in this recent strange atmosphere and in this complex and unspeakable tone, the meaning contained in these four words is naturally not as simple as they appear...
The barbarian, finally here...
...
Tang En and the others naturally didn't know what happened at the gate behind him. Elter was trapped on the periphery of defense, which was dozens of kilometers away, so they were running wildly in the wilderness at this time.
At this time, we can see the advantage of breaking the camp with a spear. No matter how anxious the ordinary team is, they will never dare to march so arrogantly. After all, although rescue is important, if they are ambushed in this situation, they will definitely be wiped out. But now they have scouts as members of the gray space, and they have no worries about safety, so they naturally have no scruples.
Two hours later, the spear breaking camp was approaching the periphery of the defense zone. In fact, the so-called defense zone is the range that the level can be roughly controlled. Of course, this does not mean that there are absolutely no barbarians here, but the probability will be smaller.
When we arrived here, we were not far from the accident site of Elter on the military order, but the speed of the team gradually slowed down. The soldiers were not iron men, and they were naturally tired after marching for so long. And from a safety perspective, it was necessary. After all, even if the members of the gray space could detect the enemy earlier, soldiers in this state would not have any combat effectiveness.
"Tsk tsk, if you save that guy Elter again this time, you will definitely ask him to invite us to drink." Although he ran so far, the people in the gray space have long been used to it. They even ran farther than this during training, and they were loaded with weight, so of course they would not feel tired. So as soon as the team slowed down, David smacked his lips and suggested enthusiastically.
"That's a must." Luke took the conversation and smiled, "Haha, but before that, it's better to find him a church to get bad luck."
"Ha ha……"
Everyone couldn't help laughing loudly when they heard this. They were speechless about Elter's luck.
Tang En chuckled twice when he heard this. He shook his head, then raised his eyebrows and looked to the left. There was a black-armored young man running quickly. It was Os, like Luke and the others, the old man in the first gray space... Strangely, why did he come back before he reached his destination? Could it be that he discovered the barbarian?
Of course, it was not only Tang En who noticed this. Frey, David and others discovered this situation one after another, and they laughed a little surprised.
As he guessed, Os was approaching, his face was a little strange, and he reported: "Brother Frey, the soldiers of the two battalions of Bran were found five hundred meters away on the left. Uh... it should be Elter and the others." Since they were the first-stage old men, they were all living and dead in the mine, and their names were naturally different.
"What?" Frey was stunned when he heard this. He thought there was something wrong with his ears. They hadn't been rescued yet. Why did Elter come out by himself... Then he thought of something, and his face changed: "How many people do they have now? Have you found pursuers behind?"
Tang En and others also came to their senses and frowned, with their thoughts similar to Frey. Obviously, everyone thought that Elter and the others were breaking through the siege and were now leading the remaining soldiers and being chased by the barbarians.
Os could naturally think of things that everyone could think of, his face became even more strange, and he scratched his head: "It's a bit strange... Elter and his two battalions are intact, and judging from their speed, they don't seem to be being chased. Well... they seem to have returned from patrol."
"Uh..." Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other in a daze.
After spreading his hands, Os turned around and said, "I have notified Elter... Oh, I've come here."
Tang En looked up and saw a steady stream of soldiers coming from the hills on the left not far away, some holding long battle axes and heavy swords. In addition to the gray space members leading the way, there were two others. One was a strong and strange man in bronze armor, and the rest was the familiar Elter.
It's him, what's going on...
"Hey, Brother Frey, Brother Don... Everyone is here." After seeing everyone here, Elter was also surprised, "Didn't you have no mission today? Why did you come here too?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this. Frey smiled bitterly and went up to him: "We received an order at noon saying that you are trapped, so why don't you come to rescue me?"
"Trailed?" Elter grabbed his hair, looking confused, "No, we're just going back after patrol."
...
As soon as the two sides met and exchanged news, they were all a little confused.
"This is the command headquarters' wrong order." Taka, a man wearing bronze armor, said indifferently.
"Impossible." Frey shook his head without hesitation and took out a written military order from his arms, pointed at him, "Look, there are rescued teams here, um, the number of your team. If the command center made a mistake, how could it be so accurate?"
"Oh? Then what do you think is going on?" Not all officers Bran had a good impression of the Grey Army. Elter was also familiar with them because of his rescue and Frey's relationship. Taka didn't care about the Grey Army, but now Frey denied it, and his tone was a little stiff.
Frey frowned and looked up at him: "Battleman Taka, we are looking for the reason now."
Tucked his lips, Taka said, "I don't think there is any need to be such trouble. We will know that when we go back now."
"I'm afraid you won't go back!" Tang En, who had been silent, took a deep breath and ordered, "David, Mithur, Luke, Os, you will take people to explore in four directions, the distance is ten miles!" Ten miles, this is far beyond the scope of the general team's reconnaissance. However, David and the others did not hesitate and nodded and turned around and left.
Once the army starts war, various command information will be mixed. There is a possibility of giving wrong orders. But Tang En and the others will not think so, because this evokes some of their bad memories. The words "issuing wrong orders" that Bolai said at the time, but they were surrounded by a lot of siege, until they fought for dozens of days and traveled hundreds of kilometers before they finally crawled out of the pit in the mine and saved their lives. For this reason, the gray space was the only reduction in personnel, which made them dare to be careless now?
"What do you mean?" Taka's face darkened and he angrily rebuked, "This is not your war game in the mountains. You are suspicious of the command center. You have violated the military regulations of the soldiers!"
Tang En seemed to have not heard of it. He then said, "Also, I suggest that the team find a place to hide immediately to avoid emergencies."
"Okay." Frey was also a decisive person. Although he might not believe that the situation would be so, the situation in front of him did make him suspicious, and this was enough to make him agree with Tang En's suggestion.
"Absurd! Do you know what you are doing?" Taka looked at Frey funny with the madman's eyes, spreading his hands and mocking, "I admit that most people in the Bran military don't have a good impression of you, the gray army, including me. But this is the front line and the battlefield! We will not be so crazy that we stabbed our own people in the back. Haha, but you, I think they are addicted to persecution!"
This bitter sarcasm did not make Frey angry, and he looked at him calmly: "It's because this is a battlefield! What are you worried about? But you just find a place to avoid it. If you are sure that there is no accident, you will come back later. And if so, because of your stubbornness, will you die with hundreds of lives under your command follow you?"
"You fart!" The calm words did not come out loud, but as long as the reasons were sufficient, they naturally had a sense of being speechless. Taka opened his mouth, and finally could only respond with a swear word.
However, after Frey said that, he ignored the soldiers and directed the soldiers to set up a defensive formation and prepared to set off. Taka's face turned gloomy and muttered "crazy" and "I just don't leave" and other words, without any reaction.
Elter is now stuck in the middle, and looked at Frey and Taka, feeling a little embarrassed.
At this moment, David and others had not disappeared in all directions. On the right side, there were already scouts sent by the previous team when they advanced and rushed back quickly. They touched Luke, who was heading in that direction, and then the two of them turned around at the same time.
Seeing this, Tang En and Frey looked at each other and their hearts were sank.
Sure enough, as soon as the second phase of the gray space members arrived, they said anxiously: "Three miles away on the right, about 500 barbarians are coming to this side."
"Fake!" "Damn!"
Tangen and Frey's faces changed, they clenched their fists and cursed in a low voice.
Elter barely suppressed the storm in his heart, made a secret decision and said, "I know there is a hidden place around here, so everyone will come with me." Then he turned to the dazed Taka and said, "Let's go, no matter what, you can't stay here anymore."
...
...
The hidden place in Elter's mouth was not far away, and in just a few minutes, everyone arrived at their destination.
This is a small canyon surrounded by hills on all sides. If you look from the outside, it is no different from other parts of the wilderness. But after passing through the slightly narrow path, there is a clear open space.
The surrounding hills can ensure concealment, and the open space is enough for the three battalions to live in 900 people. What is even more commendable is that the roads leading outside are all narrow paths, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and are indeed in a good terrain.
After arriving here, Frey and others did not hesitate and placed the soldiers in an open space. Then they quickly climbed up the hill on the side of the hill. After reaching the top of the mountain, their vision was extremely wide and they could also see where they were just staying.
Everyone was a little speechless from sight.
At this time, the mountain road there was filled with barbarians wearing simple animal skins. From their current perspective, they could only see the backs of the barbarians, but the number of people was confirmed, and it was indeed about 500. This number was not large, but it was enough to destroy Elter's heavy sword camp and Taka's battle axe camp in a short time.
"Those who pass by must be passing by... This is the battlefield, yes, that's right..." After seeing these five hundred barbarians, Taka's expression was a little lost and kept whispering.
"You pass by your mother, don't have any eyes. They are clearly heading to the level in this direction." Luke glanced at him and cursed without hesitation.
"Impossible!" Taka turned his head fiercely, his face a little confused, "Will the command center still harm us? And how could they determine the movements of the barbarians!"
"To be precise, it's not you... but us!" Frey's face was quiet, and his evil spirit flashed. "In terms of time, a normal team could not reach here in such a short time. In other words, if we weren't faster, we would have to run into these five hundred barbarians head-on on the way."
When Elter heard this, he looked at Tang En beside him and nodded. He knew what abilities these people in black armor had, and the scouts who had spears broke the camp were all the ones. Without safety risks, the team would naturally move much faster.
"It is very simple to determine the movements of these barbarians." Frey continued to say gloomyly, "Don't forget that now we have several elite troops guarding the east, west and north directions. As long as they guide them a little, it will not only be easy to determine the time, but also induce the barbarians to go on this road."
"It's ridiculous! Are you trying to say that the command center and the elite corps have conspired with such a large battle to eradicate only three hundred of you? Is it necessary?" Taka still shook his head and did not believe it, but after listening to Frey's analysis, he no longer had the previous irony. The fact is obvious. It was a coincidence that it was a mistake in one order, but there were countless wilderness and mountain roads, but these barbarians chose this one. Is this also a coincidence?
"I don't want to talk nonsense to you anymore!" Frey no longer had the patience to continue explaining. He looked up and showed his arrogance for the first time. "In fact, they do have this need!" After saying that, he glanced at Elter, with some inquiries in his eyes.
Raising his hand, Elter looked at Frey with a frank look and said firmly: "I swear to the God of Light... I didn't say it!"
If it is really persecution, only 150 barbarians are needed to trap and kill the ordinary battalion. But who is Frey? He is the captain of the Thunder Legion's signature elite team - the Thunder Spear Breaking Formation Team. If you want to persecute such a person, if you don't show some skills, it is purely a humiliation.
And Frey was also puzzled. It can be said that apart from the operation to rescue the heavy sword camp, the spear breaking camp has basically never fought these days, and the actual combat power is unknown at all. In this way, he naturally has some doubts about Elter, who knows his true identity.
After looking at Elter for a few seconds, Frey nodded and said solemnly: "Sorry."
"It's okay." Shaking his head, Elter smiled bitterly, "If it were me, I would have doubted this way."
After saying that, he patted Taka's shoulders, which were a little puzzled, "I can't tell you the specific reason... But if it's really a frame-up, they do have this need!"
