Captain Red Scorpion grabbed the whip and dragged the young officer off his horse and threw him to the ground. Several of the young officer's guards were taken aback, shouted and drew their guns, apparently ready to shoot.

Bang bang bang! The gunshots rang out, and the rhythm of the sound was clear.

Such a crisp burst of fire naturally could not have come from the hands of these private armies who had not even ignited a single Force node. Before Qianye could make a move, a veteran pulled the trigger and shot one at a time, killing all five daring guards.

"You want to rebel?" the captain coldly glanced at the private troops gathered around him.

These private soldiers looked at each other, but the hands that were pushing the bullets did not stop, and there was actually a bit of intention to do it in their eyes, and they were extremely puzzled to see Qianye.

Those who can use the Force, and those who don't ignite the nodes, are completely creatures from the two worlds. This is not something that can be compensated by numbers, just as a hundred sheep cannot kill a lion. The gap between these privates and the Red Scorpion warriors is even greater than that between lambs and lions. Where did they get the courage and confidence to dare to challenge the Red Scorpion Legion?

Could it be that this task is actually a trap?

As if he had come to his senses, Qianye immediately took off the Force rifle from his back and began to run the Force charge, which condensed into a Force bullet in the chamber of the gun in the blink of an eye. To deal with the strong man behind the scenes, the only way to do it is to use the Force gun.

The young man on the ground was so broken that he almost lost his breath, but he was easily relieved, and as soon as he raised his head, he immediately screamed in a terrible way. He watched as Captain Red Scorpion lowered the muzzle of his gun with a blank face, and then pulled the trigger.

In the roar of gunfire, the young man's limbs were all broken, and he fainted on the spot.

At this time, a middle-aged man ran out of the crowd, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a panicked face, nodded and bent down repeatedly, and said, "I am the mayor in charge of this town, and I am also the former butler of the lord. My lord has ordered me to come here to greet you, and I have some information to report to you. ”

The captain looked him up and down before saying, "Say!"

The middle-aged man laughed, took out a portrait from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "This woman is the fiancée of the lord, she was captured by the rebels." Please be sure to bring her back and try not to hurt her. Your Excellency said that in addition to the military expenses you have already paid, I will also prepare a rich thank you gift for you!"

The captain took the portrait and looked at it.

It was a fairly clear sketch portrait, on which was a very beautiful girl, and her eyes naturally had a faint charm, which was very seductive. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was wearing the clothes of ordinary local people.

The captain passed the portrait to each member of the team and read it, and then put it in his pocket, and then said to the middle-aged man, "I know about this." Do you have any last words to confess?"

The middle-aged man was startled and said in a lost voice: "What are your last words! My lord, are you joking?"

The captain said coldly: "I'm never joking! I don't know who this young man is, and I don't know what conflicts there are between you, so I want to use the hands of our Red Scorpion Legion to get rid of him." I'm not interested in politics among you nobles, but if you want to use the red scorpion, you will have to pay the corresponding price! Killing you is just a warning to your master, the red scorpion's knife is too sharp for him to afford! If you play too much, be careful to cut off his own head!"

After the captain finished speaking, he pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger on the middle-aged man's forehead without pause!

A blood hole immediately appeared in the center of the middle-aged man's eyebrows, and he slowly fell down with a stunned face.

Qianye frowned, and asked a veteran next to him in a low voice, "Is this good?"

The veteran said nonchalantly: "It's okay! We have a casualty indicator for every operation!"

"Casualties?" was the first time Senya had heard the word.

"That is to say, when we act, we can 'mistakenly injure' people in some places, specifically the nobility. The veteran explained.

Qianye took a deep breath, not knowing how to react for a while.

At this time, the arrogance of the local private army was completely gone, and some people began to secretly retreat. Soon, several officers who had been hidden in the crowd began to call the shots and maintain the ranks.

The captain sneered at them, "This mission, the red scorpion does it by itself, and it doesn't need your cooperation." I don't want to get shot in the back then. ”

The officers in the crowd were silent. Whoever dares to talk more at this time is looking for death.

The Red Scorpion Squad soon disappeared into the vast mountains and forests. The traces left by the rebels are extremely obvious, and even a rookie like Qianye will never lose them. In this way, the Red Scorpion team went straight to the rebels' lair and blocked all the rebels in the camp.

The rebel camp was set on a mountain peak, surrounded on three sides by cliffs, and only one side had a road in and out.

It's a very secluded place, with low shrubs and chest-length weeds obscuring the natural paths, and it is indeed difficult to find unless people have recently entered and exited and do not know how to remove the traces. But the disadvantage of such terrain is also obvious, that is, the way out is blocked by the red scorpion, and no one can escape.

There were about a hundred people in the camp, and they all rushed out of the camp when they heard the movement. But when they saw the slowly approaching red scorpion warrior, their faces immediately filled with despair.

When she saw these people, Chiya couldn't help but wonder if she was a rebel.

Of the more than 100 people, half are old and weak, women and children. They were ragged and skeletal, and they held mostly primitive muskets and even swords made of iron. Before seeing them, Qianye had always thought that iron was just a metal for casting daily necessities, and as a weapon, it should be at least alloy copper.

Thousand Nights saw three warriors who had ignited the Force node, but they had only ignited one node. Not even a single Force gun could be found in the entire camp.

Could such a team be the rebels? Those rebels who can drag Lin Xitang to the death in the western Xinjiang and cannot open up the situation?

It's a battalion of refugees, and it's pretty much the same.

The captain, however, seemed to have expected it, took a few steps forward, took out the portrait in his pocket, raised it, and said, "Where is this woman?

"It's me, what do you want?" a young girl squeezed out of the crowd and glared angrily at the captain.

The captain took out his memo, looked at the mission description, and said, "Well, your father was originally the owner of the mines here, and it is said that he secretly funded a rebel team. Also, listen to the lord here, you are his fiancée?"

The girl was furious and shouted, "He is talking nonsense! I have nothing to do with him, but he accidentally saw it that day and forced me to follow him! I didn't want to, so he managed to kill my father and my real fiancé, and said that our family was a rebel! Since my great-grandfather's time, our family has served the imperial military, and every generation has sacrificed his life on the battlefield. Could it be that we will serve the country loyally and end up like this?"

The captain had no expression on his face and said lightly: "Maybe the truth is really what you say, maybe not." But since we are standing here, you should know that this matter cannot be changed in terms of nature and outcome. ”

"Can a viscount cover the sky with one hand in the Empire?" cried the maiden with grief and indignation.

The captain remained calm, but his words were cold, "At least in this matter, yes. ”

The girl's face showed despair, slowly calmed down, and asked, "Then what do you want to do now, kill us all?"

The captain groaned for the first time, and his gaze swept over the people in the camp again, and these old and weak women and children in front of him were obviously the leaders and servants of the Maiden family.

He thought for a moment and said, "According to the mission, you should go back with me, but I personally don't recommend that you do this. Of course, if you insist and feel that there may be a chance for revenge in the future, you can also try. ”

Of course, the girl understood what the result of going back was, and immediately said categorically: "I will not let that pig touch my finger even if I die!"

The captain nodded, tossed a finger-sized bottle, and said, "Very well, then you can kill yourself." Drink this and you will die without pain. ”

He pointed to the other two who had ignited the Force Node and said, "You must die too." As for the rest of the people here, I don't think I see them. ”

A moment later, three corpses were placed in front of Senya.

"Carry them and let's go. Mission accomplished!" said the captain.

Qianye carried one of the corpses and silently followed the troops, returning along the way they came.

This mission was completed with great ease, and there was not even a real battle. However, the atmosphere in the team was very solemn, and all the veterans, including the captain, did not speak.

After returning to the town and handing over the three corpses to the local private army, the Red Scorpion's airship takes off and returns to headquarters.

On the airship, Qianye looked at the sky outside the porthole, and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking. The bald captain also seemed to have lost his vitality, and the "Scorpion Tail" flew so smoothly that it was almost like a different airship.

At this time, the captain sitting next to him suddenly said: "Rookie, do you see, this is the reality." There's only so much we can do. Later you will understand that politics is not the domain of our people. As soldiers, we are nothing more than a knife in the hands of the Empire. Let us stab wherever we go. As for right and wrong, it's not something we should be concerned about. ”

Qianye sighed, but her heart was still heavy. The so-called politics is indeed an area that cannot be solved by swords, guns and force.

In this insignificant corner of the empire, Qianye has experienced the political turbidity, and the man who is far away in the western frontier and suppresses the overall situation with his own strength, isn't the burden even heavier?

Back at Red Scorpion, Thousand Nights immediately applied for the mission.

It is only in the face-to-face confrontation with the dark race that Chiya feels that she can find the value of her own existence. Compared with the so-called politics, the battle against the dark race is more simple.

However, the application was put on hold for a whole week before a response was received. Chiya is transferred to an important mission.

This is an important task that is marked as level 1 by the red scorpion's interior. In a city in the western frontier of the empire, a secret base of the dark race has been discovered.

Therefore, the staffing of the Red Scorpion is rarely luxurious, Colonel Wei Lishi personally led the team, and a total of thirty Red Scorpions and two hundred Black Scorpions were dispatched, and Qianye was the only rookie in the team. This arrangement is not surprising, as the first person among rookies, Qianye's record at this time can already beat many black scorpion-level veterans.

The location of the mission is close to the two major provinces guarded by Lin Xitang. Thousand Nights had heard that some of the rebels were secretly in cahoots with the Dark Race. Perhaps this mission can indirectly support Lin Xitang.

PS: Congratulations to the reloaded rookie and the noble daughter of Linzi!
