The battlefield clearing operation in the valley ended quickly, and the army embarked on its return journey.
There were only 15,000 people in the team at the time of the expedition, but now there are more than 8,000 people left, with a loss of nearly 7,000 people.
If we only look at the number of casualties, this field combat operation of the human race can be said to have suffered extremely heavy losses.
However, judging from the combat goals of this expedition, killing 20,000 beast general-level mutant beasts, exceeding the goal, can be regarded as a great victory.
At this moment, looking at the human warriors in the returning team, they had all kinds of expressions.
Some have tragic faces and gloomy eyes. I wonder if they are remembering their relatives, friends or comrades-in-arms?
Some were elated and excited. I don’t know whether they were excited because they had collected enough mutant beast materials, or because they had made improvements and breakthroughs in the battle.
Some faces are expressionless and silent, and it is hard to tell whether they are happy or disappointed, giving people a strange mechanical and numb feeling.
Some looked nervous and looked around, as if they were afraid that the beast's eyes like light bulbs would pop up in the nearby darkness again, and that they who had a chance to escape would be imprisoned again and headed for death.
The army continued to maintain the marching formation during the expedition. The Winter garrison was in front, followed by Zhongdu warriors, followed by warriors and social warriors from the Winter Palace, the Winter Bureau of the Imperial Martial Arts Department, and related institutions and units in Winter City.
The team is at the rear.
However, if the social warrior team during the expedition was lazy and not taken seriously, then it is different now.
Let them cut off the rear, leaving the entire army without worries.
Ye Chong walked at the front of the social warrior team, followed closely by the people from Winter Academy.
Speaking of which, he originally wanted to move closer to the center of the social warrior team, but several students from Cold Winter College insisted on pestering him with questions. With the honest middle-aged man in his forties who he now pretends to be,
The image of a man who is indifferent to students is not good either.
no way.
Let’s talk then.
But the problem is...
Three female students were surrounding him, and there were seven or eight male students surrounding them, looking at him very unkindly.
Ye Chong was also helpless.
It's not good to leave either.
It's not good if you don't leave.
Then just do it and cherish it.
Anyway, these students are all junior martial arts warriors who have just entered. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use them to practice the "Peeping Technique".
For the empire.
For all mankind.
It is necessary to practice voyeurism well.
This is the need to find out the enemy's situation.
This is the need to protect yourself.
This is the need to cultivate body and mind.
This is what is needed to defeat the enemy.
…
In short, don’t overwhelm yourself with many skills, practice them first and then talk about it.
"Uncle," a petite female student said with a smile, "your knife looks rusty, but I didn't expect it to be a sharp knife. Killing mutant beasts is like chopping melons and vegetables. It looks so good.
"
"It's not just knives, it's also people." Ye Chong looked at the other person with a smile and couldn't help but nodded, "It's hard to see anything from the surface, but we can't deny how wonderful a person is."
"Uncle, are you talking about yourself?" The petite and exquisite female student smiled playfully and stuck out her tongue, "Aren't you a bit boastful?"
"No, I'm not talking about me," Ye Chong smiled slightly and looked at the girl with a smile on her face, "but you, the big man."
Cack!
A burst of laughter like a silver bell that was deliberately suppressed came out.
Cough cough cough!
Several male students nearby were coughing loudly at the same time.
"Uncle," another tall girl smiled and took a step closer, "can I see your knife?"
"No," Ye Chong turned slightly sideways, glanced at the upright girl's body, smiled and shook his head slightly, "A man's sword is not for looking at, but for charging into battle."
"Tch," the third girl looked charming and enchanting, her big eyes flickering, filled with brilliance and full of curiosity, "Uncle is so stingy, take a look, I won't miss you or anything."
"Oh?" Ye Chong looked at the other party with a half-smile, then touched his chin with his hand, and then said, "Then if I look at you, there will be nothing missing. Are you willing?"
"Yes," the charming girl smiled and turned around, "Uncle, you see, I'm not as stingy as you."
cough!
Ahem!
Cough cough cough!
A series of coughs sounded, including Ye Chong's.
The other two girls also covered their mouths tightly and couldn't stop laughing, but they kept their voices very low, obviously for fear of affecting the emotions of the people around them.
But speaking of it, during this field operation, the Winter Soldier garrison suffered heavy casualties, and the social warrior team also lost some of its manpower.
However, the personnel of many Winter institutions, including Winter Academy, suffered extremely low casualties, making it impossible for these people to pretend to be sad.
What's more, for warriors, they have long been indifferent to life and death. Even if they have some bad emotions, they will adjust in time.
Therefore, it is not terrible if there is laughter in the marching team, but we must pay attention to propriety, restrain what should be restrained, suppress what should be suppressed, and try not to affect others.
"That's not what I meant." Ye Chong smiled honestly and scratched his head.
"Then what do you mean..." When the charming girl said this, her face suddenly turned red, "Haha, uncle, I suddenly realized that you are such a bad person."
It was at this time.
Swish swish!
A rustling sound suddenly came.
The next moment, countless light spots appeared in the darkness on the right side near the center of the team.
"No, there's a mutant beast coming."
"It's a bug beast."
"Everyone, be careful."
…
Amidst the commotion, an unknown number of insect beasts rushed towards the middle of the team like crazy, and they saw that the Zhongdu warrior was exactly where they were.
At the same time, in front of and on both sides of the Winter garrison and behind the social warrior team, the beasts' eyes were flashing with light and there was a loud rustling sound.
At the same time, orders came one after another, and personnel from all departments quickly prepared for battle.
Especially for the Zhongdu warrior team, the teams are formed into a ring, and each team is embedded in one body and faces the outside world in unison.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chong couldn't help but grin, and had a better understanding of Lin Jie's commanding ability.
In fact, speaking of it, he had noticed the ring formation of the Zhongdu warriors before and didn't find anything special about it.
However, when a small but large mutant beast like the Insect Beast launched an attack, he suddenly realized the significance of this formation.
defend each other.
Staggered attack.
Advance together and retreat together.
Linked together.
"Uncle, aren't you going to kill the insect beasts?" The petite and exquisite girl approached Ye Chong with a smile, and a faint fragrance hit her face.
"No need," Ye Chong smiled honestly, "Killing these bugs, with you big men and small men here, there is no need for me to take action."
