Chapter 554 Katia's Mother and Daughter Join Miller's New Task
Duke is a new recruit who rose through the ranks of the Ranger Retinue.
In terms of military technology, he is not far behind veteran rangers such as Damir, Sam and even Alyosha - the only gap lies in experience.
In other words, what Duke hopes to gain is dignity and status, as famous as the elite warriors of the older generation.
But this is more difficult - Miller does not trust Duke's fighting ability and trusts his son-in-law more than him.
Just like what Duke described, although the old man assigned Xie Yuan and Anna tasks with a disciplinary nature - all interesting tasks would be assigned to Xie Yuan.
As for newcomers like Duke, they can only serve as outposts and respond. This kind of task is not unimportant, but it is thankless. It is a job that takes hard work regardless of merit.
How can this kind of task be as famous as Xie Yuan's arduous task of turning the tide?
Of course, he didn't have any sour thoughts about Xie Yuan, because the gap between the two was too big.
Although they both became elite Rangers within a year or two, Xie Yuan joined as an artist. At a young age, he was a "monster killer" in the northern region of Moscow subway station who was famous for hunting mutant monsters.
The latter even shined in the d6 fortress exploration battle and defense battle, creating a great reputation with the strongest carry and adc in the game.
Even because he was so strong, he could freely leave the Ranger ranks without being reprimanded, and when he was rehired, he was directly promoted to chief instructor - a position that Duke would not have been able to obtain in twenty years.
Xie Yuan didn't know what Duke was thinking, but now it was time to deliver the task to Miller.
On the way back, there was a little regret. A huge demon - a giant bat-like creature with four legs attacked the train. Unfortunately, it was beaten away by the legions.
However, the "indifferent" demon still did a weird thing - it snatched one of Nastia's little teddy bears... It was indeed indifferent to "human" things.
So this devil was on the second must-kill list after the name of the czarfish, that is, the super giant catfish.
Of course, Miller was also upset because he didn't get the information that made his previous words impeccable.
Because Katia claimed that she had never seen any occupying troops nearby... or any foreign troops.
Of course, in order to prevent Miller, the theoretical leader of the team, from not protecting her because of the disappointing answer, she quickly changed her tone: "But we haven't really been to important places..."
Katya's words did not make Miller too relieved - he chose to be alone and asked Xie Yuan to meet with him alone.
Katya quickly expressed her gratitude to Xie Yuan, and at the same time did not forget to thank Anna for her help - Nastya did this even smarter.
She naively praised Anna to Xie Yuan in a childlike and grateful tone - she actually praised her for being very strong, and then even praised "Your wife is awesome?!"
If it were another man, Xie Yuande would have smashed his teeth with a slap! But Nastya's coquettish tone would only make people feel cute - right? It just made Anna happy.
Xie Yuan could sense that both Katya and Nastya wanted to show weakness in front of Xie Yuan and Anna to gain sympathy.
I have to say that life has made their acting skills extremely natural - it's just that Xie Yuanlai likes to feel emotions, and he can capture their inner and outer a little bit.
In fact, the mother and daughter were really lucky, because they didn't notice Spanger behind them, who was already looking at Katia dumbfounded.
To be honest, medical skills are secondary. Xie Yuan himself is a senior battlefield first aid, but Spangjie obviously fell in love with Katya at first sight - this alone is enough.
Already.
Because Spangger is Miller's real fan - he doesn't suffer from nostalgia like Sam or Damier; he doesn't have desires like Alyosha or Duke; and he doesn't think like an idiot or Xie Yuan.
A lot... He is a straight man who looks ferocious, but is actually very honest.
But at the same time, he is also the person with the least desire - if he has no desire, he will be strong. If it does not suit his wishes, he is also the person who will make the most thorough move; and Miller is probably worried about how to win over this veteran. Isn't there a chain?
Delivered to your door.
Will Katia respond to Spanger's enthusiasm? Unless she is a fool, what reason can she use to stay on this train without fear of being put down? Rely on the nursing and medical skills learned by Ye Luzi?
?!
And a woman who can survive for a year with her daughter in a group of cultists with difficulty after the death of a man is definitely not a fool or even indecisive - now let's see how Spencer willingly falls into the trap step by step.
bingo.
Sure enough, Spanger automatically regarded Katia as a Dawn passenger: "...Now I just hope your mother can come with us. With a real doctor, we will become unstoppable!"
Look! This fool subconsciously ignored the fact that Xie Yuan was also a doctor - although everyone, including Xie Yuan himself, also ignored this and smiled like an aunt.
Therefore, Xie Yuan was not worried at all about whether Katya and Nastia's mother and daughter would be left behind by Miller - he just wanted to know how Miller would "reluctantly" leave Katya's mother and daughter without leaving a trace.
The woman stayed.
Many years of military service have not only turned him into a warrior. A person who has been the leader of the Rangers for more than ten years has no means at all?
Xie Yuan fell into his trap himself!
…
Miller met with himself alone for several things:
First of all, there is a mechanic named Kleist who is hiding in the port area, and Miller hopes that he can invite or "invite" him over.
A large steam-powered equipment like the Dawn, even with early twentieth-century technology, requires a few more professionals to maintain it. Xie Yuan can help on an emergency basis in some aspects, but Miller also needs pathfinders and soldiers.
, even Pathfinders and Soldiers need the best.
Therefore, a professional mechanic is very important, and Kleist must join this train - this is Miller's fatal order.
Secondly, as an information acquirer, Miller obtained a lot of useful information from Katia's description. One of the most useful ones is that the cross-river bridge in front is still in a usable state. Katia's family came from here last year.
A bridge crosses here.
But the bad news is that there are indeed zealots here - Miller gave this group of religious believers a prudent name, and their main military force guards the entire bridge.
The location of the bridge itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and coupled with the large number of semi-military militia organizations here - Xie Yuan can kill all the resisters here in a short time, but whether the train can pass safely is a huge trouble.
Moreover, killing people randomly and having too much karma will have a negative impact on him.
But this is something that needs to be considered later. Miller's only task for Xie Yuan now is to recruit talents.
Ranwen
But Xie Yuan also felt the old colonel's hesitation and self-deception.
Because facing himself who was both trusting and wary, he didn't even hide his feelings: "Well! (He looked at the high crane in front of him with deep eyes) At least some things are clearer now...but there are still many problems."
His father-in-law, who never changed his words about his son-in-law, actually began to reflect on himself: "There may not even be any enemy troops near here. They... they may... maybe just guarding key areas..."
After saying an inference that he didn't quite believe, Miller, who has always been strong, finally regained his energy: "In any case, once we arrive at Yamanto, all the answers will be revealed naturally..."
It is obvious that he has let go of his old life in Moscow a little bit... really just a little bit: "Looking at it from the source... objectively considered, the Moscow government is essentially just a local committee..."
"So," Miller changed the topic, his expression returned to normal immediately, he turned to the topic, and made a decisive tone, "Now we just need to figure out how to cross this damn bridge!"
That's right. Xie Yuan glanced at his father-in-law who was looking into the distance with disgust, turned around and walked in the direction of Tokarev. Just now he wanted to find him after delivering the mission to Miller.
But there are some things you need to be careful about: once Miller really sees the truth and cannot accept the ugly reality...will he end himself?
