4. The Thin Red Line (3)

Elf - [Rabbit] has doubled 4 times as much as his own woolly bear?

This...... This is really the most questionable news of the year, and who would believe news that is less reliable than dreams and more bizarre than bragging?

If it is a group of black dragons dressed in rabbit skins, this news is still somewhat credible, as for how to convince others to see a pitch-black dragon when they cut through the harmless appearance of humans and animals, that is another problem.

"Oh...... Damn! I wonder if I'm crazy!"

When someone doubts whether their mental state is still within the definition of normal, they are not far from entering the realm of madness.

Campbell's face was still swollen with the strength of the twist, and the severe pain kept his mind on the inside of the boundary of reason, and his anxious mood fell to the bottom with the roar of the platoon guns and the explosion of cannonballs, and the orcs who kept turning over and falling off their horses.

This is no longer a battle, just a happy one-sided slaughter on one side, and a mad suicide on the other.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Campbell clutched at his hair, whining and grumbling erupting from his abdomen.

The old cavalryman Campbell whined and wailed like a woman, and Li Nadu and the rest of his companions felt similar feelings and discomforts, not because of the uncanny appearance of the elves defeating the orcs, but because of the killing and destruction that was hidden beneath the surface - the more basic core, the discord caused by the impact of ideas, was a qiΔ“ root.

A fundamental change in the pattern of warfare.

The war they are familiar with relies on strict military discipline to restrain individual soldiers with good martial arts skills to form various variations of large and small phalanxes, effectively using the combination of long swords, shields, long hairs, bows, crossbows, siege equipment and other weapons in their hands, assisted by well-protected magicians to use attack magic to open the gap in the enemy's defensive line, and then brave warriors rush up to give full play to their personal martial arts and courage to smash the enemy's charge.

Unlike the barbaric orcs, where infantry from outlying tribes swarmed in the streets, human armies would not tolerate their commanders allowing their soldiers to fight indiscriminately. The on-site commander needs to maintain a strict queue, operate the command system under the command of the Centurion and the Centurion, and continue to let the infantry carry out the work of exchanging the front and rear rows, compared to the orcs who can only fight until they are put down or tired and lie down, the human army can continue to let the soldiers who maintain their bodies occupy the first row, and at the same time, the tired and wounded can always retreat to the rear in time to regroup.

Whether the battlefield is a plain or a city, the pattern of combat is always such an unwritten convention.

The elves in front of him completely subverted this traditional mode of engagement.

There were no sturdy shields, and there were no soldiers lined up in dense formations of tortoiseshells, wedges, and so on.

Relying on zigzag trenches (field trenches and linear defenses), steel thorns (barbed wire), and fire-breathing, staffs (guns) of varying thicknesses and rapid explosive magic (mortars) as the core striking force, the Orcs were unable to reach their crossbows, swords, and axes (420 meters away) to crush the dense cavalry charge that was four times larger than them.

The two sides didn't even show off their honed martial arts, and the battle ended with an overwhelming victory for the elves with zero casualties.

At that moment, it was not only the orc cavalry that was destroyed, but Campbell's psychological superiority over the elves was also shattered into pieces by the terrifying results and fell to the ground.

"If the one who makes the charge makes us ......"

Campbell's uncontrollable trembling self-talk made his companions shiver, and the most optimistic point of view would come to an extremely pessimistic conclusion after experiencing a comprehensive triple shock of sight, hearing, and spirit. ...,

- It's not going to be much better than the woolly bears.

The special experiences of this group of people gave them an unusually sharp sense of smell on the battlefield, and they were more receptive to the development of new forms and absorbing tactics and weapons than the [Elm Nut Braincase] that filled the middle and upper echelons of the armies of the various countries. Because of this, he was not welcomed by the old forces and for some other reasons, and finally settled in the village of Bode, trying not to have anything to do with the outside world as much as possible.

Intuitive on-the-spot firepower demonstrations, coupled with sensitive rational thinking and instinctive understanding, are not on their own side of the army to achieve leapfrog development, weapons and tactical concepts are a big step ahead, and it is natural and inevitable to fall into pessimism and frustration.

"Did the elves regain their ability to use magic, or did they use some other method......?"

Quickly shaken off the sense of loss, Li Nadu habitually rubbed his chin, the rough touch of the stubble helping to stimulate thinking, and the complex look of confusion in his determined eyes.

"What happened to these elves?"

"The fact that killing is a terrible spectacle must make us take war more seriously, not provide us with an excuse to refrain from fighting in the name of humanity - to put it bluntly, it's that simple. ”

The playful and slightly mocking tone spoke in a gloomy and rigorous tone, and the live commentary with a strong personal style sounded from behind, and the words of gratitude or applause were by no means obtained, and the human beings jumped up in fear and frightened bodies, and immediately drew their weapons and turned sharply behind them.

β€œ...... Mr. President, should I be called something else?

Li Nadu's terrifying tone contained vigilance and unhappiness, and his pupils dilated slightly.

"So-that's what you are. ”

"That's right, since I've seen my company's little secret, it's too insincere to hide it. It's easier to communicate openly and honestly, isn't it? ”

The black-haired boy's smile was not half gloomy, and his voice was cheerful. The blood-like eyes that bloomed quietly and brightly looked at Li Nadu as the leader. I clasped my hands in front of my chest.

I don't know when, I don't know what method was used. Li Lin, who revealed his true appearance, was already standing behind them.

If that meant it, I'm afraid several people had already been released.

The supreme ruler of the V.E Company wore an unknown garment, a black and shiny leather-like open-collar tunic with a knee-length hem, leather boots that were tanned and cut to the waist and fastened with a metal ring to the waist, and leather boots that reached the calf. The whole body is almost covered with black leather, except for the smiling face that makes people want to punch each other, only the white stand-up collar unknown underwear outside the collar below the neck and above the chest is not black, but there is a thin string twisted into a bow knot like a snake in the small piece of white, and there is an opal stone of the same color as the eye in the middle of the knot.

Although they have no intention of judging other people's clothing, the group felt that this strange dress with a slightly depressing sense of freshness and black hair and red eyes unexpectedly matched.

The air that surrounds the teenager has nothing to do with boredom, but it's not innocent either. In the eyes that shimmered in the sun, there was a transparent colorless aura that was deeper than that pitch-black outfit, and it was not like the heterogeneity of a living person.

Treat a qiē thing as trivial and exclude it, and focus only on the [ghost] of killing and destroying the miè.

"Your taste is truly unique. ”

Li Nadu bluntly expressed his feelings, and the neutral words revealed inexplicable deep meaning.

Mockery and spiciness spread through the air, and fearless companions clenched their daggers or axes, their eyes focused on the boy covered in graceful black almost from head to toe. ...,

As soon as he made any movement, all kinds of weapons would immediately beckon. After witnessing the elves' combat power, the villagers would not let the slightest hesitation miss the only chance to win.

"It's a very conscientious subordinate, and the body is not bad. ”

The smile deepened a little, slender and round, and could not be associated with labor, and the artistically sculptural fingers rested on the neck of the snow-white collar.

"So, do you have the confidence to give it a try?"

Contempt, seductive language stirred in his ears, subconsciously injecting more strength into the limbs holding the weapon, and only the neck that seemed to break off in his eyes was left, and he wanted to see what would gush out......

"Don't be stupid, it's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The roaring roar of thunder swept away the air as if it were overflowing with poisonous gases, and the villagers who didn't understand what had just happened and what they were doing looked at each other.

"Use words and the momentum around you to lure and bewitch others, and make them dance according to your boring scriptβ€”"

Uninhibited scolding, unprecedented unhappiness continued to overflow from Li Nadu's chest, and it became more and more difficult to control it with reason, and the sharp eyes of the-for-tat stared directly at the inside of the red pupils without any fluctuations.

"Is it your way of hospitality to treat others as fools and disrespect others? President Li Lin!!"

"That's a real faux pas. But is it not the service of shaving with the swords, axes, and blades of your companions? or is this the special Lapland folk custom and etiquette of being a guest?"

The unapologetic return suddenly tightened the air, and Li Nadu knew that the other party deliberately created an atmosphere that made Campbell and them mad and draw their knives, but he couldn't be so cheeky as to say the specious reason that "you are talking behind our backs, we have to hold the knife in our hands", after all, the other party is just talking, there is no weapon in his hand, and he is only alone.

[Even if you say it, it will be blocked by other reasons.] 】

Li Nadu sighed to himself, the opponent who was more difficult than he imagined couldn't help but make him feel a little annoyed, and he couldn't help but miss the easy days when he was young and slashed with a sword when he encountered trouble.

Butβ€”

There is no way to draw a sword at all.

The unknown sense of oppression makes it difficult to draw the sword.

The invisible coercion felt from the boy is many times more terrifying than the little tricks of playing with words to manipulate the minds of others.

hundreds;

Thousands;

over 10,000;

Breaking 100 million;

That magnification is not at all expressed in numbers and words, and people who have not actually experienced the immensity of immensity, as if even their personal consciousness is about to swallow and dissolve, cannot say the almost infinite weight.

Standing in front of him, it seems that he is not a teenager who is suspicious and strange from head to toe.

It is an amazing existence that can match the [world].

Before he could succumb to the overwhelming force, Li Nadu fell into a situation of word exhaustion.

"Talking about etiquette or something in the wilderness, it's really a bit of a bad scenery...... It just so happened that it was almost cleaned up over there. How about a cup of black tea in my company's camp and discuss your trip?"

Get out of the entangled hypocritical etiquette and go straight to your own practical pace. Li Lin turned around and walked away, didn't take a few steps as if he remembered something, stopped, and looked back at the angry humans with a smile on his squinted eyes.

"That little girl is so cute, and I'm a little worried that my men will spoil the boy so much that Mr. Campbell's daughter will spoil her. ”

After saying these words, which were irrefutable and false, Li Lin turned his face and continued to take a brisk step, and the black shadow standing on the upright grassland leisurely moved towards the gradually thinning gunshots, and Campbell smacked a mouthful of phlegm at the deep back like a dark abyss. ...,

"- You bastard!!"

As a father, a man, and a knight, Campbell's heart was filled with boundless indignation and murderous intent at holding his daughter hostage and forcing his group to act according to his intentions.

"It's so angry. ”

The boy didn't look back, but sang like a song.

"I don't know who to hold responsible...... Is it a naΓ―ve and ignorant little girl who doesn't know how to cause trouble for adults, or a father who spoils his daughter and doesn't take on the role of education......?

The answer is actually very clear and not complicated at all.

Children do not have to bear any responsibility for the consequences of their words and actions, and there is no point in asking children who do not understand anything to blame.

"The son does not teach, the father is wrong" - the not-so-subtle accusation stimulated Campbell, who was struggling to endure, and his white fist trembled.

A reassuring and calm pressure suddenly fell on his shoulders, and when he looked back, Li Nadu was looking at himself.

[Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way. 】

The smiling face that was as obsessive as ever suppressed Campbell's near-exploding anger slightly.

The other party can use Chloe's good card to control the situation, the villagers don't have too many choices, although there is the other party's big boss in front of them, but they can't do it at all if they violate the moral bottom line and fight evil with evil.

Once they make a move, they will completely tear their faces, and I am afraid that before they can do anything to Li Lin, the eager pointed ears will be unfavorable to Chloe first, and with the kind of terrifying force that must think twice, it will be very difficult to rescue the hostages.

Another reason for reluctance to admit is that the success of kidnapping the unguarded president of the company in front of him and acting as an operation to force the elves to release the hostages is not in itself likely to succeed.

At least Leedo didn't think it was possible.

The silent presence behind their group was in itself a very dangerous warning, and the arrogance of "I am in control of your actions, and I can take your lives anytime and anywhere" was very obvious beyond the abrupt on-site commentary.

"I hope the elf's tea won't be too bad. ”

Smiled indifferently, Li Nadu tugged at the reins, and the obedient horse came out of the hidden bushes, and his generous appearance was no different from going to the tea party to enjoy it.

"Ah...... What should I say? He deserves to be the head of the regiment, right?"

Campbell took a deep breath and laughed half-helplessly and half-proudly, and the other companions around him smiled in the same way.

"Don't let the fool head go to the meeting to steal the limelight alone, fool bastards! Let that stinky little devil see what a man is!!"

The men replied with a rough and heroic roar, and one by one the horses jumped out of the grass, not ignoring the possibility of traps and tricks, and strode towards the position where the elves had quieted down.

"Colonel!"

When the villagers mistook them for plant-type dangerous species and subconsciously raised their weapons to prepare for a fatal blow, Li Nadu raised his hand to stop his companions who had almost made a mistake.

The two [monsters] wrapped in leaves and branches raised the [Staff] held by the elves for a long time and saluted Li Lin, and after the latter returned the salute neatly, Campbell and the others noticed that they were actually two elves with green and black striped oil paint on their faces, and their bodies were draped in fishing nets that were wrapped around the green leaves of the branches and painted with the color of a bush.

[The disguise of blending in with the bushes, if you don't pay attention to walking in front of them, you won't notice them hiding in the bushes.] 】

Li Nadu nodded secretly, and at the same time understood that this equipment and deployment were carefully designed to prevent enemy sneak attacks, or to covertly approach the enemy position to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Led again, no, overtaken. - This complicated state of mind pursed his lips became worse as the two elves looked at their group's sticky gaze, and the other party did not look like the eyes of the guests were very straightforward, and they had a kind of attitude towards humans that was not friendly and would not escalate into hostility for the time being, and it seemed that the troubles and tricky aspects of this meeting were going to be raised a few levels. ...,

"Inform the 1st and 2nd platoons to prepare for vigilance, and the 3rd platoon to clean up the battlefield and let them deal with it cleanly. Major Brunhill asked him to go to my tent when he returned. ”

The soldier replied with a neat "yes!", saluted again, turned and trotted away.

"Are you very good at leading soldiers? ”

Like a compliment, Li Lin turned to the side, and said with a teasing smile:

"That's too polite for you to say that, when it comes to leading troops, you're a senior, aren't you?" ”

Ignoring the sinister expressions of Campbell and the others after being stunned, the black-haired boy said unhurriedly:

"It's actually the once-famous [Golden Hen] of the hellish Lapland front...... To be honest, I'm also scared in the next place, and it's flattering to be able to bump into a living legend when I go out casually. I don't know whether to say that this is the "inevitability" constructed by the superposition of many accidental factors, or does it make me want to honestly admit that the invisible thread of fate does exist in all corners of the world, pulling the unfathomable cause and fate of all living beings. ”

Li Nadu was about to say something about this contradictory statement of denying fate and affirming fate, when a crisp sound came from not far away, mixed with a few creepy screams, as if something terrible was being staged.

"That location...... It's hard to do it, you're ......!!"

"We don't have the energy and food to feed the prisoners, and we can't hand them over to the garrison. Besides, that's what they deserve. You're not the type of person who wants to be rescued by any kind of guy, are you? ”

The inorganic smiling face said goodbye, and the stroll-like pace continued. The screams, the gunshots, and the speechless appearance of Li Nadu had nothing to do with him, and the black shadows abruptly walked forward in the jungle.

Li Nadu frowned and looked at the open-air cemetery lying on one side of the orc corpses, the orcs and their war horses that had been imposing like a rainbow, ready to crush this position like ants to death, were piled up on the grass 420 meters away, and the corpses that overlapped and squeezed together were like a small hill.

The elves were tirelessly stabbing through the orc corpses one by one with the three-edged spikes shining with cold light on the staff, some of the seriously injured and undead bear orcs let out a resentful and unwilling death wail, and several cowards who pretended to be dead hurriedly ran up and tried to escape, the elf immediately raised the staff, and after a crisp sound, the truly dead corpse lay on top of the companion and joined the queue to Hades.

The bloody death aura of the battlefield made Li Nadu, who had gone through countless bitter battles to the death, feel a little unbearable, and he watched intently as the blood that flowed into the ground from the holes in the corpse and the pieces of minced flesh that could not tell what part had once flowed into the ground like a pit, and those thin red threads were everywhere between the flesh and the brown mud, as if no one could escape from it.
