She Is Not a Witch Chapter 148: Barbarian Warrior
The latest website: Although the army of Frost Roses has a large number of people, because of supply, preparation, and roads, not all of them are on the front line, but they are moving forward in batches and directions.
The main forward force is naturally on New Wilga's side, and the 200,000 army and the Golem Legion, under the command of Jenkins, an experienced veteran, pass through the dense jungle of Huangnan County and march towards Hopelander.
Another team of 50,000 people followed the ship to the north and headed north again along the Hei Song River. Most of the combat forces in this unit are infantry adapted to mountain combat, and the golem is also a small and flexible type.
The last one is based on newly-built iron-clad ships and a sea fleet with a few airships. Among them, there are more than 30,000 navies, a total of more than 60 ironclad ships, and more than 20 airships. There are many high-level mages (sequence 5-6) on it, and the elites gather to intercept possible reinforcements in the southern islands.
Compared to the fragile New Verga, Frost Rose is actually more worried about the Hinayue Council of the Southern Islands. The source of the two mages came from the same line, and they knew each other's strengths very well, so naturally they didn't dare to underestimate them.
Huangnan County, former military camp.
The area near the jungle was cleared out of a black and gray isolation zone, and then the soldiers cut down the trees to make a simple wooden fence to surround the camp. As night fell, hundreds of large and small bonfires also rose in the camp. The soldiers ate around the bonfire and sat down to rest by the way to relieve the fatigue of the day.
It is early autumn and the weather is no longer so hot. Most of these soldiers are wearing black and cyan uniforms with a layer of steel armor.
After a long journey, due to fatigue and fatigue, many people also untied their armor and put them aside, blowing the evening breeze, enjoying the rare relaxation.
As the night got deeper, sleepy snoring began to sound from large and small tents, and the camp became quiet.
In the large tent in the center, Jenkins is still looking at the map under the lights. The terrain around Hopland is marked on it, and there are some chess pieces next to it.
The dim yellow candlelight dragged the shadows of the cups, pens, paper rolls, and other debris on the low table, occasionally swaying with the lights.
The curtain of the tent suddenly opened, allowing the cold air outside to pour in, and a female knight who took off her helmet walked in.
Jenkins raised his head and took a look, then continued to focus on the map in front of him, counting and drawing occasionally on the paper with a pen in his hand.
"Are you still asleep, Ada, you will be on your way tomorrow. Now it's no better than in the country. In wartime, military law is the most important thing, and I can't favor you."
"Well, I'll go to sleep later, this will see you."
"What's so beautiful, are you afraid that this old man like me will have an accident? There are not only guards around, but also the guards of the group of wizards. If other people are close, you can find out here."
The female knight in her 20s shook her head and did not say anything. Instead, she found a cushion and sat at the low table.
"The first time I set off, it was still a little fresh and a little nervous." She looked at the map and said.
"What are you worried about, my daughter, you are not usually such a sentimental person." Jenkins puts down the pen, this will make him tired and stop thinking.
"I don’t know if I can do anything in the face of the enemy. The people on the other side are actually the same as me. They were raised by their parents. We don’t have any deep hatred for each other." Ada’s head leaned aside. Father's knees.
"Well, it's a good thing that you have such a kind heart, and it is probably inherited your mother's character." Jenkins touched his daughter's crimson hair.
"However, it won't work to be too entangled with these."
"Don't put yourself too high. It is impossible for us to conform to everyone's wishes and satisfy everyone. That is impossible."
"So, for our own benefit, sometimes we have to destroy the interests or lives of others."
"Like a wolf eating a sheep, there is no good and no evil, just a part of life."
"Sympathy can be shown in one's own person, that would be a virtue. But if you are kind to the enemy, it is a kind of stupidity." Jenkins told his daughter in detail.
"I understand these principles, but I still can't do it completely..."
Ada closed her eyes, her beautiful face reflected a faint light under the lights, and the young knight looked very beautiful when she took off her helmet.
"Then slowly adapt, there are many things, there will always be the first time."
Jenkins sighed. He has been in the army for many years and has also seen veterans who have not died on the battlefield but are uneasy after being discharged. Not everyone is so cold-blooded, and some people hate fighting. It's just that the nature of this world won't change because of this unbearable heart.
No matter how kind, when facing the enemy's blade and death threats, he will still take up weapons to fight, because he understands that if he doesn't kill the opponent, the opponent will take his own life.
That's all.
Many ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield, but they don’t actually consider too much honors of their homeland and country. Perhaps more is just life. They want money to support their families and want to change their situation.
But once on the battlefield, there is no room to retreat. Different from the usual stable order, killings in wars will not be noticed. It was only a few months before I saw a death row prisoner being executed, and the battlefield was everywhere, so I gradually became numb.
Jenkins recalled what he had seen and heard in his military career over the years, and sometimes reflected on whether he was just as a soldier. But the final results and facts told him that his meaning as a soldier was not just, and he cared more about loyalty. This was his answer.
And when the father and daughter were sitting and talking by the candlelight, there was a sudden rush of whistle outside, and then there was noise and yelling outside the camp. For a while, the sound of running each foot and the sound of armor colliding were also heard. Come here.
Jenkins stood up abruptly, picked up the sword beside him and prepared to go out to take a look, but Ada rushed out of the tent at a faster speed. This female knight is a rare genius in the army, among the younger generation, Even more famous than her father.
"Enemy attack!" Sharp shouts sounded everywhere, and many people ran to the place of the accident with torches and weapons
"It's south!" shouted a soldier standing on the lookout.
"Many people, are they barbarians?"
As the called out soldiers approached, they could see the faces fighting with them.
Under the bright yellow flames, these enemies were holding shields and brandishing long axes, and their faces were painted with white and red paint, making them look very hideous.
They screamed and rushed into the crowd, cutting and hacking regardless of their lives. A red mark flashed on the long axe, and they swung down at the weak joints of the enemy, bringing up a piece of blood and stumps.
These warriors with paint on their faces only have a little armor on the key chest and shoulders, and the other parts are wrapped in single clothes. Although the defense is low, it also allows them to quickly rush into the enemy camp, causing riots everywhere, and slashing soldiers who have not reacted.
But soon the guards from Hanshuang United also rushed over. After a brief period of confusion, they formed a formation, unified with their sickle hooks and spears, piercing these wild soldiers who tried to get closer.
When Ada arrived with a team of guards in full armor and dark blue cloaks, the battle situation here was slowly brought under control.
At this moment, she also put the sword on her side for the time being, and asked the officer next to her.
"Can you see where they came from?"
"Back to Knight Commander Ada, these people may be barbarian warriors in the north~IndoMTL.com~ but they were hired by the New Verga Alliance. Since decades ago, the barbarians were conquered by the west wind, their tribesmen have been exiled. All parties, this branch is estimated to be raised by a large chamber of commerce as a guard and deadman."
"How are they fighting?"
"Although they don't have much armor and their individual combat power is good, it is a pity that they have no discipline. After facing the assembled army, they have no advantage."
As the officer said, a group of soldiers had already surrounded the 800-person night raid team and killed them in an orderly manner.
"Kill!" Many soldiers suppressed the anxiety in their hearts, and together with their teammates, pierced the spears in their palms, and smashed each enemy to the ground.
Many of them are recruits. Although they have received complete training, it is the first time to kill someone on the field. Fortunately, there are many companions and comrades around, but they have gradually settled down.
With this strange night attack, nearly 100,000 people in the entire camp woke up. Later, scouts were sent to investigate the surrounding area. After confirming that it was safe, everyone slowly fell asleep, but at this time it was approaching Mengmengliang. NS.
