"How the hell did they die?"

In his tent (Ranke lived in the same tent as a dozen soldiers, but now they were out), looking at his men, Trato, with a haggard, sad face, Ranke shuddered and asked such a question.

"We were going to come back." There was a great deal of sadness in Trato's voice. "But suddenly we received a request for a mission to kill Gru."

"Gru?"

"It's the contractor sent to the ferry by Wuzhou. At that time, he brought the Han army to the ferry and straightened out the discipline, otherwise, we would have been able to bring the soldiers from the ferry over at that time..."

"The reward for the task is very generous, 10,000 contribution points. After we received the mission, we planned the attack with the members of the Moon Shadow team. As a result, it turned out that everyone..."

"Why do you want to pick it up?" Ranke grabbed him by the shoulders and growled. "We've surrendered, and the attribute has dropped by half! Have you forgotten? And the target was the deputy head of Wuzhou, and he was in the enemy's camp. Are you crazy? ”

"Because it's a mandatory order .... The quest reward is very high, and it says, 'If you don't succeed, you will be expelled from the camp'. We had no choice but to carry it out..."

"Coercive order?" Ranke shuddered. "Mandatory order!"

Could this kind of order to "die" his subordinates be given by that person?

The conditions he gave were very lenient and did not force us;

The task he gave was very simple, the income was very high, and we didn't need to fight, even if the income of the scene task was halved, this time it would earn more than before;

So, will he force us to do the task?

Yes. He was a man who was tolerant of small things and strict about important things. He will never cherish his soldiers on the battlefield and will never care about sacrifice...

That's right, there are always people in the collective who have to make sacrifices for the sake of ultimate victory... Kill Gru and take the ferry, this is very crucial. The high contribution given is also matched by the risk.

But that's my partner!

"They're on the move!"

Eric ran into the tent and shouted. Garyville and Molonov looked at him together, "Did you say where to go?" ”

"Nope." Eric replied breathlessly. "Just an order to set off with the whole army."

"It is estimated that it is to converge the main force of the Han army and flank the revolutionary army." Molonov looked at his regimental commander. Or take advantage of the emptiness of the camp of the revolutionary army and take the opportunity to attack. Shall we follow? Or send a message back? ”

"Eric, go back and deliver the message." Garyville looked at Moronov and Owen to the side. "Owen and I set off with the brigade. Let's just spread it out. Owen, as soon as you determine their destination, go back to the camp and report. Morrow, you stay here, if anything happens in the camp here.... You don't have to tell us, just go back to the camp and report. ”

"What can happen?" Molonov shrugged. "Unless the main force of the Yellow Turban from the north calls."

"There won't be such a thing." Eric said in surprise. "The north should be the main battlefield..."

"I'm not surprised by what happened in this scene." Gary Ware said. "Now that the reinforcements of the Han army are coming, the pressure on the yellow turbans in the north is also less. If the plot arranges for them to attack the ferry and break the Han army with our troops, what is there to be surprised? ”

----

From a distance, the black-faced man could be seen with surprise on his face.

He looked at the woman in the room in front of him who was hanging from the beams, her fingers and toes had been cut off, her limbs had been broken, her teeth had been smashed out, and she was still struggling to die, wailing because of the fire burning beneath her.

Earlier, Wright had heard the three of them say they were thirsty. And they left the brigade here, it seems, just to beg for a drink. The reason why he came with him was just to do his duty. Unexpectedly, they were greeted by such a hellish situation.

It was three or four ragged men who treated the woman like this. In the surrounding area, dozens of bound people were watching, men, women and children, with different expressions.

"What are you doing!" The black-faced man yelled at the three or four men in front of him and tried to stop them.

"These thieves took everything we had for themselves when the rebels came. Land, houses, clothes, livestock, wells...", the first of those men stood up. "Our family managed to hide, and we were going to run away. Fortunately, Lord Lu calmed the chaos, and he instructed us that if there were thieves, there was no need to tolerate them. ”

The black-faced man opened his mouth and finally turned to the person beside him. "Big brother, we joined the army to calm the turmoil and stabilize the country, not to kill ordinary people!"

The person he confided in, the man with big ears and long hands, was speechless and lowered his head.

"Big brother." The red-faced man with a long beard on the side stepped forward.

"Let's go." The eldest brother in their mouth sighed.

"This kind of thing is really miserable." After walking a little farther, he said. "But the husband should have a beginning and an end to do things."

"When this battle is over, we will leave. There are also yellow turbans in other places, and the yellow turbans there are thieves, and they don't do good deeds like here. Exterminating those people is our original wish. ”

"At that time, even if I'm sorry for Master Lu, I can't help it."

Hearing such an attitude, Wright breathed a sigh of relief.

He could vaguely feel that the enemy was special this time.

After entering Wuzhou, he encountered opponents who were almost the same as his own financial resources; I have met opponents who are good at strategy and have a deep understanding of the plot. I also heard her talk about opponents who were unlucky, opponents whose skills were so strong that they were almost incomprehensible.

However, she was the one who won. And this time, it's a different type, not following the plot like before, but an enemy who is closely integrated with the aborigines and makes full use of their power.

Sometimes, Wright even feels as if the enemy is not a contractor, but a person from this world....

Of course, that can't be. I haven't heard of a contractor in another era of space.... There is no point in this kind of nonsense, his task is to investigate, as long as these people do not leave immediately, then it is fine.

He didn't have a communicator on hand, but it wasn't so urgent that he needed to consume generic points and pass it back immediately. So Wright turned and left, going to the next place to find out something else.

I haven't been able to be by her side lately. But there is no way, in order to deal with the strong enemy in front of her, she has done her best to --- that thoughtful appearance, how beautiful!

Those people in the regiment are despicable, cunning, and ungrateful, and many of them are trying to find another way out. Even the few people who support her on the surface are secretly plotting.

I had already told her all this, but she endured it with extraordinary bearing. That's her bearing! The bearing of being the commander of the winning team!

Like she said, we're going to win! And in this difficult time, what she needs most is her own support.

He lowered his head at the thought of her gentle smile, reveling in it, his face flushed.
