Scrap iron

After thinking about it, he picked up the light armor and double knives on the head of the bed, stepped out of the tent in a few steps, and had a face-to-face meeting with You Yao who was on the opposite side.

He hurriedly explained a few words to You Yao, and then put his hand on the short iron pillar protruding from the ground in the camp.

The unique senses of the infected immediately spread to all the iron objects connected with him in the camp, forming a unique sensory network.

Xue Dan saw on the website that soldiers in iron armor were scattered all over the camp. Although they were completely unorganized, they did not run around. Another Yaling Army's death.

The little soldier who was "molested" by Xue Dan was the first group of Yaling soldiers to be attacked. He slept in the innermost part of the bed. As soon as he opened his eyes inexplicably frightened from his sleep, he saw a streak of blood splashing across his eyes. Wide open eyes lose the ability to subconsciously close them physiologically.

Fortunately, the hot blood from the comrade lying beside him did not splash into his eyes.

The little soldier scrambled and scrambled to avoid a stabbing long sword, and jumped off the bed.

When he fell asleep, he was still a comrade-in-arms, but now he had turned into a corpse.

The little soldier is just 16 years old, and he has also experienced the extremely chaotic early stage of the virus outbreak in the Southeastern Alliance. He has seen such scenes countless times, so although he is still full of fear, he has been able to respond rationally.

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran out, stretched out his hands to connect, and pulled the iron sword stuck in the corner across his back to block the weapon thrown by the enemy soldier. With the help of the thrust received by the iron sword, he jumped and rushed out of the tent. Shouting: "Enemy attack!"

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, countless spears and swords were stabbed, thrown, and pierced in a dazzled way. The little soldier gritted his teeth and pulled the iron sword behind him to block him, as if he didn't see the enemy behind him or on his side. , and rushed straight to the enemy in front of him.

He blocked the iron sword in front of him, but he was not lucky enough to escape all the attacks. A gully was wiped out by the blade on his left waist, and an iron sword pierced through his right shoulder with a puff.

The little soldier's right hand lost strength, and before he fell to the ground, he only tried his best to push out his iron sword while the person in front of him retracted his sword.As for whether he killed the enemy, he no longer has the ability to care.

The night took away the souls of young people who were lucky enough to survive countless times.

The commander of the First Division of the Royal First Army of the Kamo Empire was very surprised.He had never fought such a battle.

He walked towards the Yaling barracks with his epee in hand, but he saw no fleeing soldiers, but when the so-called crazy general came out of the tent, Lian Bronze yelled a few words, and the soldiers slowly gathered.

This is not the proper response to a nighttime enemy attack.

His soldiers were exhausted from the rapid journey from the Kamo Empire to the Republic of Dawn, past the Tati Desert and the no-man's land of the Yaling Mountains. If this continued, he would need to withdraw his troops.

Sure enough, the people in the southeast two districts are all lunatics, and they have no concept of being alive at all.The commander of the First Division of the Royal First Army sighed in the role of a bystander.

He underestimated the enemy after all.

But now it's not without a turnaround.

He aimed at the high iron pillar in the middle—that was the perfect commanding position.

He swung his sword and chopped off the head of an Yaling army who was fighting hard with his back, and put his hand on the short iron pillar.

The iron pillar may have been covered with scalding blood, but the temperature was not very low.

The teacher was overjoyed.

This camp should be easy to pass, and all connections have been broken and remade.This secondary bonded metal has always been difficult to resist his forced connection.

Sure enough, he quickly obtained the link right to sell subway products.

The teacher quickly pulled the iron piles one by one, and flew to the high iron pillar without touching his feet, then jumped onto a short pillar next to it, pushed it down with one hand, and held the upper end of the high iron pillar with the other hand.

Like an eagle, he took off and landed in the center of the iron pillar.

He changed the angle to pull the cylinder, and jumped up quickly.Seeing that the top of the pillar was approaching, the tips of his ears suddenly trembled twice, and he quickly turned his head to the side.

An iron scimitar swirled, humming and flew past where his head was just now, rubbing against the iron pillar, grinding out a dazzling flame.

It's the crazy general.

——A short reunion——

7. Iron City

The division commander didn't completely look down on the troops in the southeast two districts. He also knew some famous generals in the southeast two districts beforehand. At this moment, the iron knife whizzing past his hair undoubtedly belonged to Xue Dan.

Followed by another scimitar, it turned straight towards his chest, and the scimitar on the right turned at a strange angle after rubbing against the iron pillar, and it was slashed towards the teacher's right hand holding the iron pillar. go.

He was forced to let go of his right hand, hooked his knees around the iron pillar, leaned back, and hung upside down on the iron pillar for a moment.

As a result, just as the teacher let go of his hand and bent back, a figure unceremoniously stepped on the teacher's chest, and his boots stepped heavily under his collarbone.

The teacher snorted, his legs were not hooked up for a while, and when his body fell rapidly, he suddenly reached up and grabbed something.

Xue Dan was jumping up with the upward force of that foot, holding the iron platform on the top of the tall pillar with one hand, and retracting two knives with the other.

Xue Dan supported the edge of the iron platform and was about to turn over, but his whole body suddenly sank.He immediately hung on the edge of the platform like a plumb weight, the muscles of the right arm holding his body protruded fiercely, and he couldn't stop trembling.

This man actually forcibly connected all the iron in the camp.

The division commander estimated the distance between the two people, and rationally judged that Xue Dan, who was on the platform before he climbed on the iron pillar platform, was enough to turn the tide of the battle, so he grabbed Xue Dan's iron armor with both hands and refused to let go.

Xue Dan couldn't bear it any longer, he threw away the double knives in his left hand, clasped the edge of the platform with both hands, sweat poured down his young fair face.

The teacher held Xue Dan's iron armor for only two seconds, and his body was still shaking slightly with the pulling force. Two iron knives fell from above, and Xue Dan also fell down at the same time.

The teacher didn't expect that Xue Dan only lasted for more than a second. Before he had time to hold the iron pillar, he saw the falling scimitar change direction, like two lightning bolts from Zeus, wrapped in boundless speed and bloody smell, relying on The gravity of Xue Dan's own weight, almost like two rays of light, flashed across his eyes.

The teacher didn't understand the situation for a while, was this a miss?

Half a second later, he was about to fall to the ground, and when he was about to roll and land, he realized that he could no longer control his legs.

He opened his eyes wide in horror, and saw that he fell to the ground like a building block doll. The lower body, upper body and head neatly separated into three pieces and flew out, rolling down on the dusty campsite.

Xue Dan picked up the head that rolled not far from him.

His pupils still held the great panic from a second ago, and his green eyes seemed to be about to fall out of their sockets.

Xue Dan suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He closed his green eyes violently, took two steps back and forth on the spot, then quickly climbed onto the platform at the top of the long iron pillar, and lifted the man's head high.

Before he could speak with the bronze, the soldiers under his feet had already seen him and his spoils.

The First Division of the Royal First Army of the Kamo Empire was in an uproar. They retreated, and their already somewhat difficult attack suddenly turned into a one-sided escape.

Xue Dan looked around.

Originally, the significance of going to the high ground lies in the iron that can be pulled from above to the entire camp, and has the ability to dispatch the overall situation.

But now...Xue Dan felt that he didn't need to coordinate the overall situation. The morale of the Yaling Army's first battle, which was about to win, was enough to drive the Royal Army of the Kamo Empire out of the camp.

Xue Dan jumped down from the iron platform, and when he was about to get close to the ground, he pulled the platform above his head to slow down his falling speed. He fell steadily to the ground, and threw the head with emerald green eyes aside.

Victory and defeat.

Xue Dan wandered between the camps, massacring the enemy troops while driving them to Shichuanqu in the south.

When the enemy attack first arrived, Xue Dan told You Yao to connect the bronze line to communicate with King Erluo, and told them to come to the Yaling Army for support if they handled their own affairs well.

It's just that Xue Dan didn't expect that the leader who was fighting with him for control on the iron pillar would be so underestimating the enemy—maybe he didn't underestimate the enemy.Xue Dan thought thoughtfully.

It seems that none of their actual combat experience is very sufficient.why?

Xue Dan is in a state of fascination with the authorities.Although the military discipline of the Yaling Army is a bit loose, and the division of labor between the various military branches is not clear, every infected person in the southeast two districts is killed from the pile of corpses. Even if some are lucky enough to survive, they have long been used to seeing all kinds of bloody scene.

In terms of actual combat, no one can be more brutal and bloodthirsty than the Biling Army, and no one can be more desperate than the Biling Army——

People in the southeast two districts have an instinct engraved in their flesh and blood, and this instinct was engraved in their subconscious when they were young and when they were eliminated by the bloody groups in the southeast two districts.

But this advantage could not bring victory to the Yaling Army for a long time.

Some of the remaining soldiers of the first division were killed by the Yaling army, and most of them escaped from the camp from the south, and they plunged into the huge stone pillars of the local houses.

The Yaling army did not pursue any more.Xue Dan stood at the gate of the camp, sticking out his tongue and slowly licking the familiar rusty blood stained on his fingers, quietly watching them flee into the houses used by the villagers in the rainy season, running wildly in embarrassment.

"The brains of these sons of bitches were kicked by donkeys? What a fart, what a life-threatening thing." Xue Dan suddenly heard a young voice muttering behind him.

His companion responded: "Ghost knows, maybe the one with no head is their god, like that, King Elo."

"You're fucking kidding me. I didn't even have time to see the stinky face of that son of a bitch before his head flew off. Is there anyone who worships this bastard? The person who gave birth to them has two dicks, right?"

His companion slapped him heavily on the back: "Two xx are just two xx, what the fuck, why don't you go back to collect the corpse when you have this spare time, I think you only have two xx."

Xue Dan couldn't help but look back at the two of them, only to see two broad backs.

He felt that it was necessary to clean up the military discipline, so that people outside would think that the people of the Southeast Alliance were swearing.

Tatyana didn't know that Xue Dan was troubled by this ridiculous question. At this moment, she just learned that the enemy army had turned into a deserter, so she simply repatriated the army and went to the rainy season residence alone.

She was alone in the Iron City enough to clean up the bugs that hindered her king.She coughed twice, thinking indifferently.

Tiecheng is the best camouflage and the only place where Xue Dan is unaware of the Elo army station.

There is only one standard that can be called a station - that is, the connection ownership of local iron products.

Usually, you can only call yourself a station after setting up a camp and spending three or four days rewashing the connection.

However, there are always some geniuses who are different from ordinary people as soon as they are infected. They are welcomed by iron products, and they can force a short-term connection with the enemy's iron several times easier than others.

At this point, the strongest infected person recognized by the Southeast Alliance is Tatiana.But it is not enough to have this kind of wealth bestowed by God to become a victorious general on the battlefield, the division commander is an example.

Antonio ran among the houses with the deserters.

He is an ordinary soldier of the [-]st Division of the [-]st Army of the Kamo Empire.He thought that the conquest of the southeast and southeast districts was an easy job, an entertainment item during the intense exercise and training. After all, all the people in the Kamo Empire said that the southeast and southeast districts could be obtained without any effort. Who would have thought that they were the first An army of tomatoes.

It's a pity that what I got was not a tomato, but a real lion.

Antonio was still shaking the face of an Yaling soldier who died under his hands. That person had a big grin until his death, and his eyes were horribly wide open. Two streams of blood bloomed on her face, shooting out together with the pupils Extreme excitement and a perverted glow.

The people in the southeast two districts are desperate lunatics!

He ran wildly, as if he was getting rid of the pursuit of an inhuman monster, his legs were weak, his body was shaking, he stumbled and ran forward in the mud.

The people living in the southeast two districts are really not human.He thought confusedly, the people here have long been assimilated by Pandora, crazy, barbaric, bloodthirsty, and cruel.

When he ran out of the camp and looked back, he saw with his own eyes an Yaling army lying on the ground and eating a human corpse. His face was buried on the chest of the corpse, and Antonio could almost hear the grunt of his teeth swallowing blood and raw meat.

Hey, what about the infected person who ran beside him just now?

Antonio stiffened his neck in horror, not daring to look back.

Are those lunatics chasing after us?

Fear spiraled up from his heart, and blocked Antonio's throat with a pale color, causing his limbs to lose strength faster and faster.

Because of his fear, his vision could only focus on one point in front of him, and everything around him was completely blurred.

A dazzling silver light flashed in front of his eyes.

what?His beating heart was seized, and he subconsciously turned his neck to look for it, but he saw chaotic figures fleeing around and huge jagged stone pillars.

I must have read it wrong, I must have read it wrong, I must have read it wrong.He frantically withdrew his gaze, panting violently, opened his bleeding arms to the maximum, raised his legs a little higher, took a bigger stride, and a little faster frequency!

Unfortunately, just as he took the third step, an irresistible pull grabbed his armor.

Like a speck of dust picked up by a vacuum cleaner, Antonio was pulled away with ease.

He only felt that the colors of the objects in his field of vision were suddenly mixed due to the rapid flow, like a dish of flower paint with a gray base.

No sooner had the colors returned to their proper place than his vision fell.

Before he died, the last thing he saw was an upside-down world, with only a pair of gilded iron boots and his own standing feet in front of him.

Tatyana unscrewed the young man's head with one hand, tilted her head and coughed twice, and pulled the huge iron block hidden in the stone pillar again non-stop.

The high-quality iron gave her unparalleled acceleration, and she comfortably changed the direction of the pulling force, like a wandering ghost, elusive among deserters, quietly taking away a young life every time she approached.

When the deserters reacted, half of them were already missing.

The huddled and fleeing ant colony suddenly got closer together, and they speeded up their pace in bewilderment, but the ant colony still shrunk uncontrollably.

"This, this ghost city eats people!" Finally, an ant couldn't resist anymore, fell headlong into the mud, and babbled desperately.

Like a domino, the ant colony stopped from back to front like a tide, and looked at each other in horror.

"Then get out of this ghost town!" An ant in the ant colony squirmed twice, slowly separated from the stopped ant colony, and continued to move forward.

It ran a long way, and when looking back in the direction it came from, all the ant colonies in place were decapitated.

It is driven by the desire to survive, and the exit of the ghost town not far away smiles at it like the halo of Jesus.

It finally came to the exit of the ghost town.

Then it saw gray-eyed Tatiana descending from the sky.

8. Cannibalism

After Xue Dan returned to the camp, he first connected with bronze and sent a letter to the western garrisons of each Tati to ask them to make a good investigation. The situation of people who passed through the west of Tati within one month;

Then send a letter to the three major garrisons of the Yaling Mountains, asking them to investigate the movement of people in the mountains west of the Yaling Mountains within a month;

Finally, 400 people were sent to the northwest to search for traces left by the enemy's arrival with mobile bronze communicators on their backs.

After Xue Dan finished these, the first thing he did was to find You Yao.

In the camp, the corpses all over the ground were taken back into the storage tents for pickling and stored in an orderly manner. The corpses of the enemy soldiers were divided into one pile, and the corpses of the Yaling army were divided into another pile.

Most of these Yaling soldiers have no relatives—the Pandora virus usually only infects one of them in a two-generation family, and the remaining ordinary people have been eliminated by species in the initial chaos.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the Yaling Army: After a comrade-in-arms dies in battle, his body will be given to his closest comrades-in-arms to eat.This is also the greatest honor for a soldier of the Yaling Army after his death.

Xue Dan quickly found You Yao, who looked sleepy, in the crowd. He grabbed You Yao's armor with a cold expression on his face: "Go in, I have something to ask you."

Xue Dan pulled You Yao all the way into an empty tent.

As soon as he closed the curtain, he suppressed his anger and asked You Yao, "Where did Lucas go?"

You Yao pretended to be stupid and acted dumb: "Ah? Where did he go?"

Xue Dan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, the scimitar brushed You Yao's side temples, and swirled it on the ground behind You Yao, he suppressed a low growl from his throat: "Teaching your military discipline, you ate it into the dog's stomach , you will never understand the truth, do you know the consequences of letting Lucas go?"

You Yao was really stunned: "Ah?"

Xue Dan took a big step forward, grabbed You Yao's collar with his right hand and lifted him up from the ground: "Didn't you see the explosion on the second floor of the Erluo army fleet yesterday? Which one of the two southeast districts can make such an explosion?" technology? Lucas was fucking on the second floor when I found him yesterday!"

You Yao opened his mouth wide.

Xue Dan gritted his teeth and stared at You Yao for a while, then shoved him to the ground, walked back and forth in the tent twice, took a deep breath, then turned his head and asked, "He didn't say where he was going, why? Walk."

You Yao suddenly remembered Lucas's domineering president Wen Shi's "Gao Lun" in the middle of the night, swallowed, and said, "He said he went to find King Erlo, but he didn't say why."

Xue Dan suddenly stood still, silent for a while, and then said tiredly: "King Erluo is not a fool, what happened last night is enough for her to know that Lucas's motives are not pure, and she will not keep him. Lucas himself He knows very well that it is impossible for him to go to King Elo."

You Yao didn't know what to say and sat there awkwardly.

Xue Dan sighed deeply, and suddenly changed the subject: "What is your relationship with him? He actually made you agree to let him go."

You Yao licked his dry lips and cleared his throat: "He, he is my brother."

Xue Dan turned around and stared at You Yao: "Brother?"

You Yao scratched his head: "My dear."

Xue Dan didn't speak for a long time, and You Yao heard the yelling and lively conversation outside the corpse, which seeped in from outside the tent, wrapping him like warm air.

Xue Dan sighed again: "What's going on with your family?"

You Yao hesitated.

Xue Dan glanced at him: "Do you know that the one who came to attack the Southeastern Alliance this time is the Commander Urtus of the First Division of the Royal Second Army."

You Yao stared: "My aunt is here!"

Xue Dan looked into You Yao's brown eyes.

You Yao supported his body for a while, then suddenly lowered his shoulders and head dejectedly. He looked at the ground and said slowly:

"Our Urtus family was originally a nobleman of the Kamo Empire, and our ancestors once helped Marilyn I complete the unified hegemony.

The surname of a nobleman is only allowed to be inherited by one person's descendants in a generation, and it is designated by the previous heir to the surname. "

"Grandpa has the right to inherit the Urtus surname. After he gave birth to my father and my aunt, he appointed my aunt's descendants to inherit the Urtus surname.

My father is obsessed with medical skills and has no intention of military affairs. In order to have a more free scientific research environment, he brought my mother, my brother and I to the Republic of Dawn. "

"My brother is also an academic lunatic. He perfectly surpassed his father's medical attainments when he was a teenager. But I have been very solid since I was a child, and I can play best with my aunt. My aunt can also look towards me. Even if I want to She can also pick the stars in the sky for me."

You Yao showed a foolish smirk, "My aunt is good at everything, but she is too soft-hearted towards her relatives."

"After our family moved to the Republic of Dawn, we stayed for two years. My father and mother never let me get in touch with the military, so I ran away by myself.

Originally, I wanted to go to the Kamo Empire to find my aunt, but then you also know that I was kidnapped by people from the Yaling Mountains when I was passing through the northern part of the Tati Desert. "

When You Yao said this, he was a little ashamed and said: "I was very rebellious at that time, and I was annoying when I heard about family affairs, and I even lost contact with my aunt, so I don't know whether my brother has any relationship with my family. contact."

Xue Dan patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go with the flow."

You Yao shook his head and looked at Xue Dan with wide eyes: "My mother, how can you say such a thing? You must have been stimulated by my brother."

Xue Dan got up angrily and walked out: "Haven't your two brothers been irritating me for the past two days? You still have the nerve to ask. I have lived for so many years..."

Xue Dan's words stopped abruptly, and he didn't know what to swallow.His footsteps only paused in the air, and he walked out of the tent as if nothing had happened.

Xue Dan originally wanted to take a walk in the camp, hoping that the morning breeze would blow away the inexplicable gloom in his heart, but before he could take a few steps, he saw a group of people walking straight towards him carrying a dead body.

Xue Dan stopped and waited for them.

The infected person walking in the front looked very calm. He said to Xue Dan: "Our corpses are all disposed of, and only this one remains. This man was very introverted in the military camp, never talked to others, and had no acquaintances. , We thought about it and brought his body over."

The Yaling army next to him wiped off his sweat and gave a big smile: "It's no better to feed General Xue after death than to feed his brothers. I want to, but it's a pity that such a good thing is not my turn."

Xue Dan looked down, feeling that this young face looked familiar.

His face was thin and his fair complexion was covered with mud and black blood.

There was a large hole under his right collarbone, as empty as his wide-open eyes.

Isn't this the cute little soldier from the day before yesterday?

He also teased him, saying that the taste of his juicy water is probably good, but he didn't expect Xue Dan to taste the taste after going around.

Xue Dan gently closed his eyes: "I see, let's put it in the tent where I slept yesterday."

The two men who carried the corpse responded and went over there.

The gloom in Xue Dan's heart grew stronger, but it is a pity that some people do not have the right to be peaceful. He had just walked half a circle in the camp when the bronze line erected in the camp suddenly established a connection with him.

It is a bronze messenger.Xue Dan hurried around to the bronze transmission pile in the camp.

Xue Dan put his hand on it.

The Qingtong letter came from the Erluo army, and Tatyana's metal-like voice sounded in Xue Dan's mind:

"The deserters have been wiped out, and the enemy is the First Division of the Royal First Army of the Kamo Empire. It is understood that the number of the First Division of the First Royal Army of the Kamo Empire is twice the number of today's attackers, so I request your army to investigate the route of the enemy's attack. To ensure that the Southeast Alliance has the geographic position and movement of all enemy forces."

Xue Dan connected with Bronze and replied: "The investigation is already underway, and I will give you an answer at noon today at the latest. In addition, the garrison at Quyaling in Shichuan will be able to rest at noon today. What are your plans for attacking Yise City?"

There was a lag of about 10 minutes in the bronze transmission. After 10 minutes, Xue Dan came to the bronze transmission pile again to listen to Tatiana's reply.

"It is not too late to attack Yise City. We cannot grasp the enemy's movements in Yise City. If it is delayed for a long time, something may happen."

"The Ero army has already dealt with the internal turmoil, and the station closer to Yise City has entered a state of preparation."

"The Eluo army has two garrisons in Shichuanqu, with a total of more than [-] garrisons, and they can reach Yise City against the current in one day;

There are three garrisons within two days to the east of Shichuanqu, two of which are 145 kilometers away from Yise City, with a total of more than 172 garrisons, and the other is [-] kilometers away from Yise City, with more than [-] garrisons. "

After hearing this, Xue Dan reported the situation of the Yaling Army's garrison and said, "General Tatyana, immediately notify the garrison east of Ishikawa to start marching towards Yise City immediately, and the Ishikawa garrison on both sides of you and me will leave in the evening." , what do you think?"

As soon as 10 minutes came, Tatyana immediately sent a message of agreement.

Xue Dan quickly conveyed the news of the march to each station.

Starting to march tonight means that the corpses of the comrades who died in battle can only be eaten for three meals, and there must be some corpses that cannot be eaten up, so they can only be burned.

Xue Dan first went back to the tent where he slept last night, and the young soldier was waiting for him inside.

It was not the first time for Xue Dan to eat people, or in other words, he had already eaten countless times, but this time when his hand touched the rough surface of the tent, his heart beat strangely and violently.

He frowned, and kept his hands on the curtain for half a second, then calmly parted the curtain to both sides.

The sunlight penetrated into the tent from all sides of the tent, giving the inside a strangely vague and warm rendering.

The soft morning light fell on the land covered with soft weeds, casting a holy light on the corpse lying in the middle of the grass.

A pair of iron boots stopped next to the young corpse, and then a pair of knees, a bent waist, and black eyes that tried to calm down but couldn't hide their sadness.

Xue Dan put his lips on the wound on the young soldier's right shoulder, and devoutly used his sharp teeth to tear off a piece of raw meat covered with coagulated blood.

The tip of his tongue seemed unable to taste the pungent smell of earth and rusty black blood on the piece of meat, and firmly rolled this small piece of meat into his mouth.

Xue Dan drives the upper and lower teeth to crush the raw meat into fine minced meat that can be swallowed, and then smoothly sends it into the esophagus.

Xue Dan, as an infected person who eats far more than ordinary people, ate the two arms of the young soldier in the morning, then ate his chest and waist at noon, and ate his leg at night. His head and other leg were roasted to ashes in the fire.

After disposing of the corpses, the army began to march.They lined up in front of the camp in silence. Thousands of people lined up in the open space north of Shichuan Qu, and hundreds of fleets lined up on Shichuan Qu.

In the end, they moved their legs in unison and pulled the hull, and every meter they moved forward became more integrated with the night.

On the night when Shi Chuanqu began to march, there was only a dark sky in the southeast direction.

A special "folklore" in a desperate situation...

9. Fire

The night turned into black water, floating thickly or lightly with the breeze outside the window.

There is a wooden table under the iron window,

The night turned into black water, floating thickly or lightly with the breeze outside the window.

There is a wooden table under the iron window. On the wooden table is a map of the Southeastern Alliance. The corners of the map are still very new, and it seems that they have not been made recently.

On the chair by the table hung an apron with a girly pink spear printed on it.

There were two people sitting at the wooden table. If Lucas was here, he would be able to recognize them. One of these two people is Mr. Urtus——

Or it would be more accurate to call it the Commander, and the other one was the man lying on the steps beside her basking in the sun when Commander Urtus was filling Lucas with chestnuts.

The commanders of the Royal Second Army and the Third Army just learned yesterday that the First Division of the First Army went to raid the Yaling Army and ended up being trapped inside.

The entire Royal Army was extremely shocked, and the two army commanders finally corrected their attitudes. They began to regret not recognizing Xue Dan and Tatyana in Yise City, and took out the Southeast Alliance map at the bottom of the box to start researching.

Urtus put his hands on his temples, and his expression was quite distressed: "The king hasn't issued an edict yet?"

Commander Thomas half-closed his eyes, and said slowly: "A certain commander of the First Army refused to report the failure of their raid. How could the king order an attack? The king still wants to sweep the Southeast Alliance in one fell swoop after a comprehensive layout."

Urtus said coldly: "If you conceal the military information, you will be executed according to the law."

Thomas smiled, opened his eyes and teased, "Even according to the previous strategic plan, we are not invincible. As for how many kings are lost, we don't care. We still get the same military achievements, so what are you worried about?"

Urtus glanced at Thomas, didn't answer, but nodded at Yu'an City: "I just received news this evening that Lucas from the Republic of Dawn has entered Yu'an City."

Thomas raised an eyebrow, with a little interest: "That nephew of yours? What does he want to do?"

Urtus looked stern: "He is a lunatic. In his eyes, human beings have no individuals, only human groups. He lacks the most basic empathy, so we must beware of him."

Thomas was very interested: "Then he is doing something outrageous in Yu'an City, hurting Xue Dan's rear, wouldn't it be very beneficial to us?"

Urtus looked at Thomas for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back, and just said, "I still hope we can fight the army and avoid the crowd."

Thomas laughed and patted Urtus: "Of course I know, besides, we can't command your good nephew now, so I just said, why are you so serious."

Urtus brushed his hand away: "Okay, I'm not serious anymore. One last question, now we just wait and do nothing?"

Thomas casually picked up a few sweet dates that Urtus put aside: "Otherwise? This time Diymos didn't come, so you want to disobey the king's order and act without authorization?"

Urtus smirked: "I'm sorry, I have no such plan." She raised her chin towards the door, "If the commander finishes eating the dates, please go back. After all, there is no king's order, and we have nothing to do. We are in Yise City every day. Just eat and drink, and by the way, brag about the great achievements of massacring the city."

Thomas snorted out of his nose, said nothing, put the date back in its place, and stalked out the door.

Urtus was so angry that she let out a breath and looked at the topographic map on the table distractedly, her mind went blank.

Not long after, there was a knocking sound on the wooden door: "Commander Urtus?"

Urtus raised the volume a little: "Enter."

The wooden door was pushed open with a creak, revealing a young head wrapped in a helmet: "Commander, there is a man outside the city gate who calls himself Aleuta Demos and wants to see the Commander."

Urtus stood up abruptly, his eyes full of astonishment: "Are you sure it's that name?"

He nodded: "OK."

Urtus was stunned for a while, and then he quickly turned around and put on the light armor. The iron plates on the light armor made a soft sound as Urtus trembled: "I'm going to see him."

She followed the young soldiers eagerly up the wall until they came to a crenel.A dozen or so heavily armed soldiers surrounded a young man in the middle.

Urtus recognized You Yao at a glance—a descendant of the Kamo Empire nobleman whose original name was Aleute Demos. She still remembered the scene when she brought You Yao to play guns and buy ice cream with her elders on her back when she was a child.

Unexpectedly, she would meet her nephew whom she had missed for countless years here, and Urtus couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart at all.

She strode forward, holding You Yao's broad shoulders with both hands, and said in a particularly high-pitched voice, "Aleuta! Why are you here!"

You Yao was dressed very poorly. He lowered his head tiredly, covered a knife wound on his arm, and said hoarsely, "Aunt Urtus, can we go into the room and talk."

Urtus hurriedly caught him, pulled the iron all the way to his second-story iron house and flew away, and finally stuffed You Yao into the iron gate, with a very concerned look on his face, almost at a loss and said: "Aleuta, you..."

When she said this, she suddenly stopped, and thought about her words for a long time, and finally she seemed to be at a loss for what to say, so she stopped, and the eyes of the iron-blooded army commander were slightly red.

You Yao warmed up for a while, scratched his head, and said uncomfortably: "I ran away from home."

Urtus wanted to laugh a little, she said silently: "I can see it."

You Yao scratched his head again: "I think the southeast two districts sound very cool, so I came to the southeast alliance. I didn't expect the living conditions here to be so bad. I regretted it a bit at first, but then I thought about it, and it's hard to live here. It is better than being forced to study some academics at home
