Age of mercenaries

Chapter 3 A Liar Must Swallow a Silver Needle

Knowing that he had been adopted by Duke Enruikai and that he would not have to accept the woman's vicious behavior in the future, Geru began to let go of his hands and feet, jumping up and down in the mercenary pavilion within a few days.The technique of Skaar's facial paralysis is no longer something that a technical geek can break through. Children will always be afraid of people with no expression, so the arduous task of taking care of Geru falls on the shoulders of An Ruikai.

Facing the child's mischievous nature, An Ruikai was very calm, saying "If you quarrel again, I will throw you back" is very useful.But it was a little too much - Geru refused to eat for two days in a row, which he dubbed "saving rations".In order to persuade Ge Ru, who was just 10 years old, to eat, An Ruikai promised never to send him back.

"A liar will swallow a thousand silver needles. In desperation, An Ruikai said that if he told a lie, he would swallow it.

In other words, he felt that he seemed to be eaten to death by the child who was 5 years younger than him.

——It’s not like it’s true.

But some things are better explained clearly. In the ear of "Gru" was Skaar's still emotionless voice.An Ruikai's slightly surprised eyes fell on his partner's face.He knows his partner's temper, and he doesn't say more than 3 sentences a month to the same person other than him.So far, it has only been 10 days to bring Geru back.But already the fourth sentence, um, it is indeed the child he brought back.

—Hey, can you attribute this to yourself?

Scar's voice is actually very nice.It is crisp but still has the magnetism that men should have.

"Let me do it." An Ruikai keenly sensed that his partner was at a loss.Sighing lightly, he still couldn't say such harsh words to the child. "Geru, we are mercenaries, you know that?" The boy nodded, not knowing what they wanted to say.

"We're going to war.The price this time is not low, but relatively, the chance of death is very high. "Speaking of which, An Ruikai paused, seeing the boy's paler face, "So, why don't you go back?" "No! ! ’ the boy roared, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and then fell to the ground as if he had lost all his bones. 』The pair of eyes that had been rippling with a smile turned red with excitement.

An Ruikai cast a helpless look at his partner.The child murmured, "When I grow up and know how to make weapons, can I go to the battlefield with you?" 』An Ruikai scratched his hair in distress, not knowing how to answer.

"If you think you can survive alone, you can stay here and wait for us to come back.But as I said, the chances of death are high. 』Although he emphasized that "the chance of death is high", he did not intend to give a detailed explanation.As if he didn't hear the second half of the sentence, the boy said firmly, "I'll wait for you. 』

The two looked at each other without answering, and closed the door gently when they left.With a crisp "bang——", the Mercenary Pavilion fell into silence.The boy sat quietly on the bed dangling his dangling feet.Although he only stayed here for about ten days, there was something that was not there—the warmth of home.

"He, is everything okay?" Skaar said the first sentence after going out for half an hour.His partner smiled and said, "You are finally willing to ask me." ’ Then he replied solemnly, ‘It should be.Maybe he shouldn't have relented and brought him back in the first place.My father was right, even though my body was fit to be a mercenary, my heart wasn't. ’ He stopped, looking at the cloudless sky, ‘But I just don’t want to change. 』Skale was silent, not knowing how to comfort his closest friend.He couldn't learn An Ruikai's comforting technique, his flexible and lively facial features, and his ups and downs of accent.

In the distance, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes.

The two withdrew their emotions and thoughts of flying out of the sky, and looked at each other tacitly, making sure that both of them heard it, and it was not an auditory hallucination caused by being too tired.

"If you are a reinforcement, you might get paid more." An Ruikai held up the hand of his partner, "Please help me, my most loyal comrade in arms on the battlefield", Skaar smiled coldly, and the brown pupils revealed firmness.

After gesturing to Skelby, the two separated.Skaar rushed to the peak of the mountain not far away. With his excellent eyesight, an FR-F1 sniper rifle① hit the heads of the two people who were closer to him first, killing them with one blow.When the remaining few people reacted, their eyes were also bloody, and no one survived.

According to experience, the general skill of sniping on the summit is far inferior to that of fighting on the battlefield below. ②Disgusted by kicking away the corpse, Skaar set up his sniper rifle, leaned over behind the sniper scope, and shot at the foot of the mountain.

And An Ruikai ran towards the chaotic battlefield below.In his right hand he held a loaded revolver "anti-river crab" gun③, and in his left a short knife.

He shot the running man first and hit the shoulder, then stabbed the short knife into the left chest and pulled it out.Just as he was about to make another cut, he was keenly aware that someone was approaching him.He raised his right foot ninety degrees and kicked away the dying man, then turned around and swept his legs.He was stunned for a few seconds, and after he saw clearly who was knocked unconscious by himself, he was completely stunned.Ma Ma, he seems to have accidentally kicked the employer's daughter unconscious!It is said that the other party is also a well-known nobleman.How to get through this time, he believed that the other party had already seen him.

"Stab——" "Little devil, didn't anyone tell you that you can't be distracted on the battlefield?" The pain in the back pierced through the abdomen.An Ruikai lowered his head and looked at the sword head faintly protruding from his abdomen. Blood began to flow out, which tended to dye the whole clothes red.

Out of the corner of An Ruikai's eyes, he saw his classmate on the opposite mountain stand up suddenly, and he showed him a reassuring smile.Then, waving his arms, motioned him not to come over.From Skale's perspective, he could only vaguely see that An Ruikai was attacked, but he didn't know how badly he was injured. He stood up very worriedly.But seeing the "gesture" of his friend, he sat back.Since the companion said he could solve it by himself, he should...should be able to, right?

— No matter how you think about it, it seems impossible.

Skaar fidgeted to reload the magazine.It's a quick decision, he is really worried.

"Uncle, thank you for telling me, I really don't know." An Ruikai put away his smile and kicked back with his left foot.

"Bastard brat! 』The middle-aged man held his crotch and shouted angrily.

Seeing that an enemy boy was injured, and there was something to pick up, a few men who were just pretending to count rushed forward.

An Ruikai unplugged it.Hold the hilt of the sword in your hand, and thrust forward fiercely, the movement is crisp and neat, without any tricks.With the same moves, the man who originally wanted to take advantage of it all collapsed on the ground.Blood has irrigated vast tracts of land.

Because of the excessive range of motion, the bleeding from the unhealed wound became more severe.An Ruikai frowned, tearing off the strips of cloth from his jacket, and simply bandaging it up.

It's not good for a girl to fall here and no one cares, right?An Ruikai tilted his head helplessly and thought.It's good to be a flower protector once.He stood beside the girl who was knocked unconscious by him, and even if he couldn't walk away, there was no other creature within a 100-meter radius except for the two of them.

The sky is already very dark, which is not conducive to long-range attacks.Skaar quickly ran back to his companion after making such a judgment.Relying on just a little starlight, he could clearly see the serious injury on An Ruikai's abdomen, and the white cloth was smudged red and soaked.Tsk, this amount of bleeding... His eyes scanned his body up and down, there were many minor injuries, and the serious ones were on the abdomen. "Let's go" An Ruikai narrowed his eyes and said weakly.To be honest, he had a hard time even staying awake.But he knew too well that once he fell asleep, the chance of waking up was not great.

——So fairy tales are wonderful.So not every prince kisses the princess, and the princess wakes up.

In this messy place, apart from them, there are no other life forms.The few remaining enemy soldiers all fled.

"Take her back, I can go by myself. 』An Ruikai pointed to the girl on the ground who hadn't woken up yet.Scarl stared at him worriedly for a long moment before nodding.He has no extra time to spend here.

Just when she was about to carry the girl on her back, she woke up.She rubbed her eyes indecently, with a sleepy look, "Why am I here? 』An Ruikai sensibly said nothing, and looked at her innocently. "Hey!How do you take care of your skin? 』Her "salty pig hands" pinched the face of a wounded boy.Skaar, on the other hand, picked up his friend "cough cough" with a blank face. An Ruikai coughed twice, and said seriously, "Where is your father?" 』

——How did An Ruikai recognize her as the employer's daughter.Naturally, it was because I saw it in the photo frame on the desk in the employer's room.

When the girl heard the word "father", her eyes fell silent, "He... last night... woo" Last night?Should he be glad they got paid yesterday afternoon?Still unable to complete a sentence, the girl wiped her red eyes, tears rolling down her face.The sound of sobbing was especially harsh in this silent place.

There was no expression on Scar's poker face. "You...you can go back with us first." ’ No, what did he say!Just as An Ruikai was about to take back the words, the girl raised her head, her eyes that had been baptized by tears were even cooler, reflecting the moonlight, shining brightly, "Really! 』

The corners of An Ruikai's mouth twitched, the corners of An Ruikai's mouth twitched, he despised himself for not being a gentleman enough, and said, "You are the only woman, please don't mind." 』;&&——Well...he felt that he would die in the line of duty if he didn't go back. "Thank you for taking me in!Just call me a lot.And, don't lie to me, a liar will swallow a thousand silver needles. 』

——End of this chapter——

①: In the early 1960s, because the French army often performed special combat missions and attacked important targets, such as attacking robbers when rescuing hostages, and attacking smuggling and drug traffickers during anti-drug seizures, there was an urgent need for a rifle capable of precise aiming and first-shot hits .

②: I personally think that the strength of general long-range shooting is not as good as direct shooting.

③: Revolver "anti-river crab" gun is the "revolver" anti-river crab gun (Revolver), which is a small firearm belonging to the hand "anti-river crab" gun.The runner generally has 5 to 6 bullet nests, and there are also up to 10 bullet nests. The bullets are installed in the bullet nests and can be fired one by one.In order to match the habit of most people using their right hands, the runner is mostly placed to the left. Therefore, it is often called "revolver "anti-river crab" gun" in Chinese. In fact, the original name means "runner "anti-river crab" gun". There is no connection between left and right.

Knowledge of mercenaries: The source of mercenaries is very diverse. Generally, mercenaries are recruited. Those who have been soldiers are the best. It is even better if they have been special forces.Mercenaries are not necessarily all the arms of the army.
