Monarch of Evernight
Chapter 34: Cruel Casualty Indicators
Boom, boom, boom! A gunshot sounded and a distinct rhythm sounded.
It is naturally impossible to shoot so smoothly out of the hands of these private armies that have not burned a single nuclear node. Without waiting a thousand nights, a veteran pulled the trigger, shot one at a time, and killed all five daring guards.
“You want to rebel?” The captain looked coldly at the private forces gathering around him.
These private armies face each other and the hands loaded with push bombs have not stopped. There is actually some meaning in the eyes to do it, and it is very confusing to see it all night.
Those who can use the Force, and those who do not have ignition nodes, are the creatures of both worlds. It's not quantitative, it's like a hundred sheep can't kill a lion. The gap between these private forces and Red Scorpion fighters can be even greater than between lambs and lions. Where do they get the courage and confidence to challenge the Red Scorpion Army?
Is this mission actually a trap?
Thousands of nights seemed enlightened, immediately removed the force rifle from the back, began to run the force charge, and in the blink of an eye condensed into a force bullet in the barrel. To deal with the strong behind the scenes, only the use of a force gun is a threat.
The young man on the ground was almost directly breathed down, so easily slowed down, his head immediately screamed terribly. He watched as the Red Scorpion team captain pressed down the gun openly and pulled the trigger.
During the shooting, the young man's limbs were all interrupted and he fainted instantly.
At that time, a middle-aged man ran out of the crowd and rubbed his forehead sweat with panic. He even nodded his head and bent over, saying: "I am the mayor of this town and the former housekeeper of the Lord. Lord commanded me to come here to greet you, and I have some information to report to you. ”
The captain looked him up and down and said: "Say it! ”
The middle-aged man smiled and took a portrait out of his pocket, handed it over and said: "This woman is the fiancée of the lord, and she was captured by the rebels. Please make sure you bring her back and try not to hurt her. Lord said that in addition to the military expenses already paid, a generous thank you gift has been prepared! ”
The captain took the portrait and looked.
It's a fairly clear sketch of a very beautiful young girl with a natural hint of glamour in her eyes and a very soulful taste. She looked about sixteen or seven years old and was wearing clothes from ordinary locals.
The captain passed the portrait on to every member of the team and received it in his pocket and said to the middle-aged man, "I know that. Do you have anything else to say? ”
The middle-aged man was shocked and lost his voice: “What... what will! Sir, are you kidding me? ”
The captain said coldly, "I never joke! I don't know who this young man is, and I don't know what the contradiction is between you, so I'm going to use the hands of our Red Scorpion Corps to get rid of him. I have no interest in politics between you nobles, but if you want to use the Red Scorpion, you pay the corresponding price! Killing you is just a warning to your master, Red Scorpion. This knife is too good for him to play with! If you overdo it, carefully cut off his own head! ”
The captain pulls out his pistol and pulls the trigger on the middle-aged man's forehead without stopping!
The middle-aged man immediately appeared in a blood hole in his eyebrow, stunned with a full face, and slowly fell down.
Frowning at night, he whispered to a veteran next to him: "Is this okay? ”
The veteran said carelessly, "It's okay! We have casualty indicators in every operation! ”
"Casualty indicators?” Thousand Nights is the first time I've heard that word.
“In other words, when we act, we can ‘accidentally' people in some places, referring exclusively to nobility.” The veteran explained.
Take a deep breath at night and don't know what to do for a while.
At this point, the local private forces were completely extinguished, and someone started to sneak back. Soon, several officers, who were hiding in the crowd, began giving orders to maintain their ranks.
The captain smiled at them, “This mission, the Red Scorpion did it himself, does not need your cooperation. I don't want to get shot in the back by then. ”
Officers in the crowd were silent. Anyone who dares to talk at this time is looking for death.
The Red Scorpion team quickly disappeared into the woods. The signs left by the rebels were unusually obvious, and even rookies like Thousand Nights would never lose them. That's how the Red Scorpion team stormed the rebel nest and blocked all the rebels in the camp.
The rebel camp is situated on a mountain peak, surrounded on three sides by cliffs, with only one side having access.
It's very hidden here, and the low bushes and bush cover the natural roads, and it's really hard to find unless someone comes and goes recently and doesn't know how to get rid of the traces. But the drawback of this situation is also obvious: no one can escape if the way out is blocked by the Red Scorpion.
There were about a hundred people in the camp, and all the movement was heard coming out of the camp. But they saw a slowly approaching Red Scorpion warrior, instantly desperate on his face.
This is the rebels? When you see these people, you can't help but ask questions.
Half of the more than 100 are women and children, old and weak. Their clothes are shattered and shapely, and they carry mostly primitive guns and even iron-cast swords. Until they were seen, the thousand nights thought that iron was just a metal for casting household goods, and as a weapon, at least it should be alloy copper.
Thousand Nights saw three warriors who lit the nuclear node, but they all lit only one node. Not even a Force gun could be found in the entire camp.
Is such a team a rebel? The rebels who can drag Lin Xitang to the west and not open the situation?
This is a battalion of refugees.
But the captain seemed to have predicted a long time ago. A few steps ahead, he took the portrait in the exit bag and Jan said, “Where is this woman? Better get out yourself! ”
“It's me! What do you want?” Squeeze a teenage girl out of the crowd and stare at the captain with anger.
The captain pulled out the memorandum and looked at the mission statement and said, "Well, your father was the original miner here and is said to have secretly funded a rebel army. Besides, did the lord tell you you were his fiancée? ”
The girl was furious and shouted, “He's talking nonsense! I had nothing to do with him. He just accidentally saw me that day and forced me to follow him! If I don't want to, he'll find a way to kill my father and my real fiancé and say our family is treason! Ever since my great-grandfather, my family has served the Imperial Army, and every generation has been killed on the battlefield. Do we do our duty to the nation and end up like this? ”
The captain had no expression on his face and said faintly: “Maybe the facts are just like you said, maybe not. But now that we're standing here, you should know that everything from nature to outcome can't change. ”
“Can a Viscount cover the heavens with his hands in the Empire?” The young girl screamed angrily.
The captain remained calm, and the words uttered were outrageous, "At least in this matter, yes. ”
The girl's face was desperate and she calmed down and asked, "What do you want to do now, kill us all? ”
For the first time, the captain was silent and his eyes swept over those in the camp, in front of whom the old and weak women and children were apparently servants of the young girls' family.
He thought about it and said, "You should come back with me, as the mission requires, but I personally don't suggest you do this. Of course, if you insist and feel there may be a chance of revenge in the future, you can also try. ”
Of course, the girl understood what it was like to go back, and now she said, "I'm not going to let that pig touch my finger! ”
The captain nodded and threw a finger-sized bottle and said, "Fine, then go ahead. Drink this and you will die without pain. ”
He pointed to the other two people who lit the power node and said, "You must die, too. As for the rest of the people here, I don't think I saw them. ”
A moment later, three bodies appeared in front of a thousand nights.
“Take them and let's go. Mission accomplished!” The captain said.
One of the bodies was lifted up at night, following the troops silently and returning along the way.
The task was extraordinarily easy to accomplish, without even a real fight. But the atmosphere in the team was very heavy, including the captain, and all the veterans did not speak.
After returning to the town and handing over the three bodies to the local militia, the Red Scorpion's airship vacated and returned to Headquarters.
On the ship, staring out at the sky at night, wondering what was on your mind. The bald captain also seemed to have lost his vitality and the "scorpion tail" had flown so smoothly that it looked like a new airship.
And the captain sitting next to him suddenly said, "Hey, rookie, you see, that's reality. That's all we can do. You'll see later that politics is not the domain of us. As soldiers, we are nothing but a knife in the hands of the Empire. We stab anywhere, we stab anywhere. As for right and wrong, it's not something we should care about. ”
Thousands of nights took a long breath, but the mood was still heavy. So-called politics is indeed an area that cannot be resolved with swords and weapons.
In this insignificant corner of the empire, we experience political turmoil all night long. Isn't it more burdensome for the man who, far away from the West, repressed the big picture with all his strength?
Return to Red Scorpion and immediately apply for a mission.
Only in confrontation with the Dark Race will the Night feel able to find its own worth. Fighting with the Dark Races is simpler than so-called politics.
However, the application was placed on hold for an entire week before a response was received. Thousands of nights were transferred to an important mission.
This is an important task that has been marked as Level 1 inside the Red Scorpion. In a city in the western realm of the Empire, a secret base of dark races was discovered.
Therefore, the Red Scorpion is rarely staffed with luxury, and Colonel Guardian himself led the team, sending out a total of thirty Red Scorpions and two hundred Black Scorpions, the only rookie on the team at the Thousand Nights. Not surprisingly, as the first of the rookies, this time of the year has been able to crush many Black Scorpion veterans.
The mission is located in the immediate vicinity of the two major provinces guarded by Lin Xitang Town. Thousands of nights have heard that some rebels actually collude with the Dark Race. Perhaps this mission can indirectly support Lin Xitang.
