Chapter 17 16. Army Life
The forest farm in Handanal County is located on the eastern edge of the Gandare Ranges.
The fifty-seventh regiment is the most inconspicuous heavy armored infantry regiment under the command of Duke Newman of the Bena Legion.
This infantry regiment guarded the northern **** of the forest farm to prevent the aborigines who fled into the forest from making a comeback.
Duke Newman's main Constructed Knights are gathering in the Grizzly Bear Hills of Handanal County. As for the Dark Demon Legion that came from Hell, they are surrounded by the Benar Allied Forces. Now they are only waiting for the main Constructed Knights to gather. After that, Duke Newman will launch a general attack on the ghost army in Handanal County.
Handanal County Forest Farm can be said to be one of the most fringe areas of the battlefield. Although there will not be too many battles involved here, it is also destined to not be easy to accumulate military exploits. For Captain Goss, it was very much in line with his wishes.
…
A leaf slowly fell down, just in front of He Boqiang, blocking his sight.
However, he was lying in the mud without daring to move. There was a dense tuft of glass grass on his head for more than half a day. Most of his body was buried in the mud, and the half of his body exposed outside the mud The camouflage had become a little dry, wrapped around his body so hard that he couldn't reach out and peel off the fallen leaves in front of him.
He Boqiang tried to hold his breath and blow away the fallen leaves in front of him.
The leaf was crumbling in the artificial wind blowing from He Boqiang's mouth.
‘It’s a pity that it’s only a little bit short! '
He Boqiang thought a little discouraged, his eyes were dark, and he felt that his brain was a little hypoxic.
Just when He Boqiang couldn't help but want to stretch out his hand to push away the leaves in front of him, the bush on the opposite side suddenly moved slightly, and the wooden bow came out of the bush.
He Boqiang hurriedly held his breath, and then an aborigine in animal skin came out of the bushes. He glanced around vigilantly, and did not rush away, but took out his wooden bow and pointed at several people. A few arrows were shot from suspicious places, and one of them fell right in front of He Boqiang. The moment the wooden arrow plunged into the soil, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
If it wasn’t for the leaf in front of him that happened to block He Boqiang’s half of his sight, He Boqiang would probably have discovered that the native hunter shot an arrow towards him in advance, and it would be difficult for him to continue lying in this quagmire so calmly.
He Boqiang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but fortunately, the indigenous hunter did not try to shoot the second wooden arrow.
He took two steps forward with bare feet, the broad soles of his feet stepped on the dead leaves without making a sound, holding a wooden bow in one hand and a wooden spear in the other, he rushed to the side of the mud One day, a frog in the grass beside the quagmire was frightened and jumped into the puddle, but was pierced by the native hunter with a wooden spear.
The aborigine hunter crossed two big feet, pursed his lips, pulled the frog off the wooden spear, and put it on the straw rope around his waist. A pendulum was exposed under the animal skin skirt. He Boqiang held the Roman sword in his hand. At the moment when the aboriginal hunter stretched out his hand to tie the grass rope around his waist again, He Boqiang jumped up from the mud, and cut the aboriginal hunter's abdomen open with his sword.
Before the native hunter could cry out, He Boqiang punched his larynx, crushed him in the mud, and cut off his head with a Roman sword.
Just as He Boqiang wanted to take a breath, he felt the round leaves of the bushes on the left sway slightly. He quickly fell down on the ground, and a wooden arrow flew past He Boqiang's back neck. He jumped up and rushed towards the bushes , Unfortunately, I only had time to see a vague figure like a light and agile deer, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in a blink of an eye.
He Boqiang stood where he was, touched the back of his neck that was a little cold, and secretly thought he was lucky this time.
The body was covered with mud, the mud on the upper body dried up and became hard, and the leather armor on the lower body was covered with mud, so he couldn't run at all, he could only watch the aborigine easily escape from under his nose.
He Boqiang threw the glass grass on top of his head back into the quagmire, and searched the aboriginal hunter again, but found nothing valuable, so he dug a shallow pit beside the quagmire, dragged the aboriginal hunter's body into the pit, and placed it on top of it again. Covered with a thin layer of soil.
before continuing to track down the direction where the other indigenous hunter disappeared.
…
In the past two weeks, three small caravans have been attacked in this area.
According to the escaped businessmen, they were attacked by a group of very cunning indigenous hunters. They were not only good at archery, but also set some difficult traps in the dense forest.
This group of hunters is also very ruthless, and they will never keep alive. It feels like they are just going to kill people.
One of the small caravans happened to belong to the distant relatives of Earl Mond Goss, and this time he brought the caravan to the Warsaw plane, and he was also related to Captain Mond Goss, who was not too lucky A good young man thought he could earn some money and buy a piece of land back home. After all, the status of a third-class baron does not have his own territory, and he will never be able to hold his head high in front of other nobles.
Earl Mond Goss admired such a young man very much, and even planned to marry one of his daughters to this nephew. Unexpectedly, this young man was killed by a group of natives who rushed out of the mountains before he could reach the forest farm. , Earl Mond Goss was furious, and ordered the fourth captain, Baron Sidney, to deal with this matter.
Captain Sam of the second team has been wandering around this forest with a group of men for five days, and Ian even guessed that these natives have already fled elsewhere.
It was He Boqiang who thought of asking the members of the second team to squat at various water sources in this area to see if there would be any gains. Unexpectedly, it would take half a day to wait.
He Boqiang suppressed the nausea in his heart, put the head of the indigenous hunter into a linen bag, and rushed towards the meeting point.
…
He Boqiang walked into the gate of the barracks of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment together with the members of the second squad.
As a non-staff member of the second squad, many people in the infantry regiment knew him, but they couldn't call out his name.
Passing the captain Baron Sidney's marching tent, Captain Sam pushed Suldak, signaling that Suldak would complete the report.
Suldak took the linen bag from Sam's hand and walked straight to the tent door.
The guard standing at the door of the tent raised his head, glanced at He Boqiang who was in the crowd of the second team, and asked Suldak with a smile: "Hey, Dak, is your team new?"
"It's...not." Suldak said, and waved to the members of the second team, indicating that they can go back to the tent and wait.
Suldak asked Baron Sidney's personal guard flatteringly: "Is the Baron there?"
The guard knew Suldak very well, and he whispered in Suldak's ear, "Inside, that...you know, I just came back from Captain Mond Goss, and I'm not in a good mood."
After finishing speaking, he hinted at Suldak again, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing important, it's best to come back tomorrow."
Suldak raised the bag in his hand, showed a confident smile, and smiled mysteriously at the guard: "Oh, I'm serious, maybe he will feel better after hearing this."
The guard's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Oh! Well then, I'll report it!"
