On the other side, Tarolin suddenly stopped and said, "Okay, let's turn back now and go to the place where we just stopped to see if we can find anything new."

"Squad leader, we shouldn't find anything if we suddenly turn back, right?" Makarich asked.

Tarolin scolded, "Don't talk too much at this time, just do what I say."

Then the small team rushed back in a hurry.

"Stop!" Tarolin suddenly ordered, "Don't destroy the scene."

The sharp-eyed Tarolin immediately discovered that some changes had occurred in the place where he had just stopped. In order to prevent his soldiers from destroying the traces, he asked the troops to stay on the periphery.

"There should have been a person passing by here just now, and it is likely that he is a Serbian scout." Tarolin said with certainty.

Makarich asked, "Squad leader, how do you know!"

Tarolin pointed to the grass on the ground and said, "Look, is the grass here bent?"

Makarich said, "Maybe we stepped on it ourselves, after all, we walk this mountain road every day, and there are no different shoe prints on the ground."

Tarolin shook his head and said, "This shows that you are not careful enough. Look carefully at the direction of the bend in the grass. The grass stems here are obviously walked horizontally by people's shoes. We patrol vertically, so there are obvious differences in the traces left by the two."

"And here, there is a fallen leaf here, which looks very abrupt." As he said, Tarolin picked up a leaf from the ground.

He put the leaf in his hand and said, "This leaf is obviously still fresh, its petiole is even green, and there is juice here, which is obviously brought here by an external object. Did anyone of you break a leaf here just now?"

Everyone shook their heads and said, "No."

"That's right!" Tarolin continued, "This leaf was not left by us, so it is likely that someone else brought it here."

"Look, someone has obviously stepped on the grass on the opposite side of the road, which shows that the enemy is very cunning. He directly crossed the path, but even if he crossed over, he would inevitably step on the weeds on both sides."

"So the weeds on both sides of the road have signs of damage, which is why I was able to find out that something was wrong at the first time. You should pay more attention in the future, maybe you can save your life at any time."

As he spoke, Tarolin began to check and detect clues on the side of the road. After all, after confirming two points, he can basically lock the intruder's whereabouts.

As expected, after going deep into the jungle, he found more clues. Tarolin said, "There should be someone who passed through our jurisdiction. His direction was from south to north. In the jungle, he looked a little rough and left a lot of footprints."

"There is also a small path here that is not easy to detect. It is difficult to be discovered because of the cover of trees. This is probably the road where local people used to go up the mountain to chop firewood. There are traces of people cleaning with machetes on both sides of the road. However, no one has walked on it in the past few months, so it has been covered by vegetation."

"Let's follow this road now and go down the mountain quickly. Maybe we can catch him."

Afterwards, under the personal leadership of Tarolin, everyone quickly went down the mountain along this trail. Although the road was tortuous and covered by branches and shrubs, it did not affect the marching speed at all.

As a member of the Kingdom of Dalmatia, a kingdom under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this small force has rich experience in mountain marching.

After all, the terrain of Neretva is full of mountains and coastal hills, including the capital Mostar, which is also a city built in a mountain valley.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia who live in this environment can deal with this complex terrain without any pressure.

When Talolin and others were chasing down the mountain, the man being chased was unaware. He kept opening up a road in front with a machete.

After all, no one has walked on this road for several months, so it is inevitable that it needs to be repaired.

Of course, deep in the jungle, he did not think that this little movement could alarm the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia. After all, there are many wild animals here, and it is far from the daily patrol route of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia. Unless there are sharp ears among the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia, no one can hear this sound.

However, he obviously underestimated the intuition and ability of Talolin, the old fox, and will soon pay the price for his carelessness.     Soon after, Talolin made a new discovery, and this new discovery made him feel much better.

"This guy shouldn't be able to go fast. After all, this road has not been walked for at least a few months, so he also used a sharp tool to cut the shrubs, weeds and branches in front of the road."

"This means that he is clearing the way ahead, and his work is obviously a bargain for us. Speed ​​up along this route."

After about half an hour.

Makarich suddenly whispered: "There is a sound."

Tarolin nodded and said: "It seems that the person is in front. Next, we will divide into three parts to encircle him."

In the deep mountains and dense forests, the man was chopping with a hatchet. There was no human habitation in this area, so he didn't realize that he had been caught up.

He also said: "I remember that this path was relatively convenient last winter. Sure enough, it was difficult to walk after no one cleared it for a few months."

The retreat of the Kingdom of Serbia was a matter of the end of the year. In the Mediterranean climate, the winter is warm and humid, so the vegetation here is baptized by the winter rain, and it is difficult not to flourish again.

Suddenly, the man heard movement.

At this time, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia were only thirty meters away from him. It was impossible to go deep into the dense forest without making any noise.

run! This is the man's only thought.

"Chase!" Talarolin quickly made arrangements.

Unfortunately, at this time, the man was already panicking. After all, it was impossible not to panic when facing a large enemy.

The hunt lasted for only five minutes. A man with a beard was pinned down in a bush by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia. Mainly in a dense forest, running in front would definitely be at a disadvantage. After all, he had to open a road, and All the Dalmatian soldiers had to do was follow.

"Squad leader, I got it, I got it!"

Talorin also hurried over, and relying on the Mosin Nagant behind the man, Talorin immediately confirmed the man's identity.

"Tie up this Serbian."

The Mosin-Nagant rifle is a Russian weapon. Of course, the Kingdom of Serbia also equips it in large quantities, so with this rifle, the identity of the intruder can basically be locked. The Austro-Hungarian army has its own rifles, and the Bulgarian army is equipped with German-style rifles. The rifle may be German or East African.

Although the man still wanted to struggle, such a struggle was obviously difficult to achieve in the face of the overwhelming number of Dalmatian soldiers.

The Serbian man struggled to no avail and could only curse loudly. Unfortunately, his mouthful of birdsong and flowery flowers did not pose any threat at all. No matter how harsh the curses were, only the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia could understand Serbian.

During the long-term German education in the Kingdom of Dalmatia, or the former Neretva region, many people no longer even know Chinese and only speak fluent German.

"Be honest!" Although Makaric didn't understand what the man said, looking at his ferocious face and tone, he knew that the prisoner didn't have anything nice to say.

Talorin said at this time: "Makarich, you and Wesen are responsible for watching him. We wasted a lot of time trying to catch him. It will probably be night when we get down the mountain."

In order to catch this Serbian element, Talorin's team spent nearly two hours. Now they turned back and returned to the camp. It took about three hours on the road, which added up to about five hours.

Of course, Talorin and the others were quite excited. After all, pursuit activities were inherently risky, that is, because of the dense forest environment, which made it difficult to deploy guns. Otherwise, the resister would definitely have to use bullets to attack Talorin and his party. people.
