this is my ark journey

Those picket officers who usually domineering were the first to be unable to bear it, and it was unknown who made a strange cry, dropped their sabers and ran away.

If one escaped, there would be another one immediately. In an instant, the remaining fifty or sixty enemies retreated like an avalanche.

"Retreat...retreat!"

An assaulter lieutenant dropped his gun sword, and his usual assault training made him run like a gust of wind.

"retreat!"

The officer's escape immediately caused a chain reaction. The survival instinct overcame the military law. No one wanted to go up to die. Anyway, the pension would be swallowed by the quartermaster.

Seeing that the soldiers who had just fought to the death fled, Renn threw two throwing axes directly, and the brilliant blades of the axes cut through the air, cutting two paths of blood in the crowd.

Other integrated movements are not idle either, with various long-range weapon projections.

This time, there was no big shield and heavy armor to stop them, but only the backs of cowards. The screams and the muffled sound of flesh and bones were more like a reminder. drop.

Shields, weapons, staffs...

The equipment made by the empire with a lot of money was just thrown into the snow, and then the naked body was pierced by the sharp blade.

Seeing that the high-ranking army also had this fate, the integration movement chased even harder, chasing hundreds of meters, and dyed the white snow red.

"Stop chasing, the rest of them are dead." Ren's shout came from a distance, and the soldiers who had entered a state of frenzy stopped at the same time.

Less than ten people escaped the shooting range, wearing only shorts all over their bodies, and could not survive for two hours in the weather of more than minus 20 degrees.

The enemy retreated, and at the same time the adrenaline was withdrawn. The large group of people panted while holding their knees, inhaling the icy knife-like air into their lungs, so that the brain driven by the fighting instinct became sober.

"We won? We really captured the army's fortress?" Frost star panted heavily, still a little confused seeing the corpses everywhere.

"Didn't you guys win before?" Lin Dong asked from the side. She had already taken off her coat, and her school uniform was soaked in blood. It seemed that after the battle, the only link to the past was gone.

"I won, but then..."

Frost Star paused at this point. Of course, he wiped out a lot of Ursus troops when he fought guerrillas in the north, but usually there were only a few dozen outposts, and they used their absolute superiority to fight an ambush.

Even if there is a hard stubble, the patriot will tear it up with his halberd.

But now there are no patriots, and the enemy is not those lightly armed soldiers trekking hard in the snow field. This is a temporary fortress with two to three hundred fully armed regular troops inside.

Heavy armor, giant axes, large shields, artillery, drones, land ships, everything is missing, enough to defeat an entire Casimir Thousand Cavalry Squad!

"If you win, you win. There's nothing to think about." Lin Dong was more free and easy, holding an ax in one hand, and pointed at the sculpture-like figure at the entrance of the fortress.

"He is no worse than your father."

......

Ren stood quietly at the door, and the fortress was trampled under his feet.

Turning her head, Tallulah was looking at him with an indescribable gaze, which seemed a little admiring, a little unbelievable, and hiding some disgust.

The cheers of 'Wan Sheng' came from a distance, and Rennes seemed to not care after hearing it too much.

"We really captured a temporary fortress?" Tallulah muttered to herself, this is no ordinary stronghold, the warehouse of the land ship is full of equipment, food and ammunition.

"Don't get hung up on the facts."

"No, no, this is very important." As the leader, Tallulah looked at Renn seriously, "This means that the Integration Movement can capture any town below Level IV defense without the Patriots."

Patriot is easy to spot, and he himself refuses to attack towns, but towns must be attacked, and the infected need a shelter.

"It's already a level III defense, and the equipment below is enough to arm 1000 people." Ren pointed to the messy battlefield. Those heavy defensive armors and smashing attack armors can't be bought even if they have money. With these heavy armors, the integration movement can With the fierce fire attack, the casualties of being shot by a few crossbows will no longer be heavy.

"Use the army to strengthen yourself and use them as transport captains. That's what the Tower of Babel does."

Transportation captain?

Tallulah couldn't help laughing, but soon returned to seriousness: "Then we will proceed as planned after cleaning the battlefield?"

Ren didn't speak, he held on to the fence full of knife marks, looked at the temporary fortress, and saw a black-haired boy lying beside the snowmobile, the blood under his body had already dried up, and his empty eyes stared at the fortress. lead like the sky.

He remembered that this young man had narrated his sufferings on that simple table, showing his unsightly chest that had been scalded by the iron.

He died, with an arrow in his chest, and died quietly in the battle.

Beside the young man, there were several disarmed infected people who fled after the charge was launched.

Ashes does not have mind control, he has tried his best, but it is impossible for everyone to see death as home, when the shells explode around him, fear will make the blood freeze.

"What should those people do before deciding on the next step?"

Tallulah glanced back, with a slightly ugly face, and replied: "Expel them, give them food, and go their separate ways."

"I have to remind you that war is not a dinner party."

"Mr. Patriot said the same thing to me before, but I can't use tyranny to stop tyranny, and I can't force everyone to die for their ideals." Tallulah stood upright, bravely meeting those gray eyes .

"You are very upright and innocent." Ren stared deeply at the dragon girl, and didn't bother to change anything.

Tallulah is very pure, has high demands on herself, treats others leniently, and is strict with herself. However, the cruel reality will tell her the result of her innocence.

Ashes withdrew his gaze and looked at the boundless snowfield, while Tallulah looked at his profile from behind, and asked abruptly:

"Teacher, what if one day we encounter failure and find that everything we saved is worthless?"

"Victory brought pressure instead? Or did that 'teacher' instill some fallacies in you?" Ryan didn't turn his head.

Long Nu pursed her lips and replied, "Maybe there are all of them."

"Of course, stand up, stand up countless times, as long as you don't stop breathing, the struggle will not stop. As for the value of our struggle—"

Ren turned around with a serious expression: "Excessive nobility is arrogance. Look at those corpses. We are only a little stronger than them, and there is no difference in essence. Don't treat yourself too harshly, people will Make mistakes, think about how to make up for them after making mistakes; don't judge human beings by good and evil, think about what makes people good and evil."

The failed savior closed his eyes, he was not alone in the ashes, and the flame would eventually burn.

But I can't make mistakes, I can't fail.

Tallulah was slightly absent-minded, the bet that the poisonous snake gave her was difficult to deal with, and a catharsis of emotional breakdown meant the end of the game.

Fortunately, I have Alina, and now I have another mentor, so it must be fine.

"I understand."

Ren didn't know whether she really understood or pretended to understand, it didn't matter at all, he would say what he had to say, and if it was useless, he would also solve the mess.

Ashes raised his hand, pointing to the end of the earth.

"Go, Tallulah, and spread the spark of resistance on this land!"

Chapter 180 Four Ignite the Gunpowder Keg!

The convoy was advancing rapidly on the vast snowfield, and the drones searched the surroundings back and forth.

A snowmobile was filled with antennas, and the invisible radio waves were transmitting the situation in the war zone. The air in the narrow command room was heavy, and the officers dared not even vent their breath.

They have already received the information about the attack on the fortress. As an important stronghold guarding the south, it happens to be on the open land outside the boundless forest. If the integration movement wants to cut off the army's retreat, it cannot go around anyway.

Through drones and mobile reconnaissance teams, this temporary base can monitor hundreds of kilometers around.

When they heard the news that the temporary fortress had been attacked, the officers were not surprised but delighted. The fortress was built according to Level IV defense standards. Without shield guards and patriots, the group of infected people could not be defeated at all, and could only be hunted like pigs.

But later the fortress reported that the outer wall was breached as soon as it came up, everyone was a little dignified for a moment, and finally the communication was cut off, and the officers had turned into ugly expressions like dead parents.

"Your Excellency Major General, the advance team has arrived at the stronghold. This, this is the information they sent back."

The courier accompanying the army translated the telegram with a voice that sounded like he was about to cry.

Bowers, who was wearing a gorgeous military uniform, closed his eyes and fell asleep, his body rose and fell with the vehicle, and he said a word expressionlessly.

"read."

"The reconnaissance team has arrived at the stronghold and found our army..." The messenger glanced at the major general, seeing that he did not respond, he continued to read: "All our troops were killed in battle, all vehicles and equipment were lost, corpses, corpses was placed in..."

"Enough." Bowers said coldly, and the messenger shut his mouth suddenly.

The major general straightened the skirts of his military uniform and looked at the other officers expressionlessly: "What do you think?"

He was very calm, without saying a word, it seemed like a pot had exploded in the carriage.

"This group of dirty, shameless sinners dare to commit such atrocities!"

"Revenge is necessary. They can sneak up to the stronghold. They must be covered by other untouchables. I suggest that all villages within [-] kilometers be leveled!"

"Valery and other officers must be held accountable. They are only 1.5 kilometers away from the edge of the forest. Have they ever studied military civil engineering? How can they take advantage of their firepower so close?"

"That's right, they'll have to court-martial and pay for their stupidity!"

Aggressive.

A three-finger-wide scabbard knocked on the table, and the angry officers shut their mouths.

"I ask you what to do now, and we will talk about it later when we are held accountable."

They calmed down a little, looked at the general from the Imperial Guard, and after a glance, a colonel with a scarred face replied:

"Now we should follow the traces, take back the precious property of the empire, and wipe out those sinners who don't know the heights and depths!"

This suggestion caused the officers to nod their heads again and again, thinking that Ivanov was worthy of being the vanguard of the Fourth Army, and he knew military strategy after fighting and killing for so many years.

But the major general didn't speak, which caused the bald colonel to have a hideous expression, and the scar on his face kept twitching.

"Your Excellency, why don't I take the vanguard elite, and I can crush all these sinners to death with one hand!"

"Ivanlov, the integration movement is not an ordinary infected person."

"I know, that's why I have to punch hard!"

"Tsk, I mean they are very powerful." Bowers looked helplessly at the titans in the army.

"They know how to use resourcefulness. Everything was set up by others. They first lured His Excellency to the north, and then used elites to break through the blockade and regain the initiative. Let us change from annihilators to pursuers."

"So what, it's useless in front of absolute power, can it be stronger than the title knight who died under my iron fist!?"

The brawny man bragged loudly, and then quickly shut his mouth when he met the general's cold eyes.

The one in front of him is not the trash of the academic school with empty theories, but a member of the Guards who was killed in the Battle of Blood Peak. Those monsters are even stronger than him, a forward fighter.

The general also ignored the colonel. Officers like this who were killed from the grassroots with a knife and a gun are important assets of the army.

"Mobilizing the enemy, and then launching a decisive attack to break through the blockade, reminds me of my old boss." Bowles thought of a certain general who had retired in seclusion, pressing the map with one hand and rubbing the scales on his arm with the other.

The scales are dense, like the skin of a snake.

"Send a small team to track down the land ship. It is estimated that there is no one there. It is just a decoy. However, the land ship still needs to be taken back. The integration movement can attack the mobile city with this thing."

The major general's blue eyes moved across the map, and the dense lines made people dizzy. At this moment, an adjutant came over, and after whispering a few words, his eyes lit up, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The reconnaissance team has caught several infected people. According to the latest intelligence, they are likely to rescue their compatriots."

"Sure enough! There are more than 2000 damn pigs over there. If they are accepted by the integration movement, the scale will be doubled several times!"

"Ivanov, you take 200 people and kill them all."

"Understood." The colonel showed a bloodthirsty smile, "If I meet that armored man, I will avenge that idiot Andreev."

"Well, I remembered one thing. You are helping Andreev's family."

Glancing at him, the strong man's smile froze, and sweat dripped from his forehead. According to the decision of the military court, Andreev had committed treason, accepted the orders of foreign forces to destabilize Ursas, and deprived him of all honors. mine.

"He, he is a brother in the army after all."

"It's okay, no one will pursue this matter after the annihilation of the integration movement."

"Thank you, Your Excellencies!" Ivanov quickly thanked.

"Go."

"Yes!"

The door of the snowmobile was opened, and the strong man jumped out of the vehicle while driving at a high speed. The wind and snow poured in, and the officers in the cabin shrank their heads.

The major general squinted his eyes, waved away the snowflakes, and pointed to the map: "The others follow me here."

"Lvov? They still dare to attack the town??"

Looking at the incredible officers around him, the major general said indifferently.

"No, they dare."

The officers looked at each other in blank dismay, always thinking that people in the integration movement must be crazy for daring to divide their troops.

"Lviv doesn't have much supplies, and they can't grab anything good. Could it be that you want to catch the leader?"

Bowers nodded, without speaking, he looked out the window.
