Vol 3 Chapter 380: Smuggling caravan

For a moment, this unknown hillside battlefield was quickly cleaned.
In the end, eight people were killed and more than ten were injured. There were more dead people on the Epee Camp. Half of the soldiers stayed here forever, and only a few survived the minor injuries. The rest were almost all severely injured, and several people were about to die.
There wasn't much sadness. It wasn't their cold-bloodedness. No one here was a recruit on the battlefield. After repeated battles, they all looked down on life and death. Seeing that the warm body of the companion became cold, they were also sad and angry, but they were more accustomed to forbearance, and the next time they encountered a barbarian, they broke out.
The corpses of the sacrificed soldiers could not be taken away. After digging some tombs behind the hillside, they were buried there. As for the savages, the vultures that cried in the sky were their ultimate destination ...
After doing these things, the team merges and returns to the level. Although the epee camp was seriously injured, and some were almost at their physical limits, it was because of this that they had to march hurriedly and return to the checkpoint for treatment as soon as possible.
Elt was familiar with the area, and proposed that there is a path nearby to save distance. Frey naturally has no objection, so everyone turned to this rugged path that was not very easy to walk.
"Snoring ... Thank you, thank you for your help! Sorry, I sighed to you before ... a little prejudice, but after this incident, I was convinced and served, and sighed ..." Panting, although trying to control the breathing, But the discourse is still intermittent.
After touching his nose, Tang En worked hard to discern the words of gratitude and apology, and then guessed what the other party meant, and shrugged: "It's too polite, just a hand."
"Yes, it should, well, your hand, snoring ... for us, it is a life-threatening event." A pale face, Elt tried to express his gratitude.
Survivors of the Epee Battalion suffered many injuries. But since it wasn't dead, it's natural to save. However, they were lucky and suffered minor injuries. It was not a big problem to walk by themselves, but it was not enough to bear another person. This problem is quite difficult, but in fact it is easy to solve, that is, to ask the gray army to help. But Elt also had some hesitations, after all, his previous attitude was not friendly enough. Even almost there was a conflict, the other party may not be willing to help ...
Well, I came to the rescue with good intentions, but I didn't get the thanks and respect I deserved, and everyone would feel depressed. And after that, he placed most of the soldiers in the gully. Did not participate in the offense. That's right, from my side, it's for the sake of security and retaining the power of defense and counterattack. However, in the view of the opponent, it is likely to become skeptical of its ability, or timidity that cannot enjoy side by side and so on.
It was here that Elt was suffering. When I tried to organize the wording, I didn't want Frey, but I thought about it carefully. Considering this, I read the old situation of the Thunder Corps and went straight to the end. He actively let his soldiers cut some branches and lifted the heavily wounded in the Epee Camp. Up.
In this way, the scene that Elt thanked now happened.
However, Tang En watched each other for running. The body is like a broken water bag, the big and small wounds are bleeding, and he shook his head helplessly: "Captain Elt, it is not too late to say thank you. I think it is more important for you to take care of yourself now."
"No, nothing ..." He waved and Elt said indifferently. But the pale face looked a little bit grim. It is not very convincing.
Frowning: "Forget it, let me let David carry you ... eh?"
Tang En was about to turn around to greet David. Unexpectedly, the team was stunned. A dozen soldiers gathered together. Are shaking their heads.
"What's wrong?" Frey walked back from the front.
A pike battalion soldier ran over, glanced at Elt, and turned his head; "Master, there is a brother of the Epee Battalion."
Erte heard that his face was dark. This situation was actually expected. At the time of departure, more than a dozen soldiers were already in a state of dying. Speaking badly, death is possible at any time. If they were left on the hill, it might take a few more minutes, but now walking on rough roads, bumps will naturally accelerate death. But now it ’s impossible, if they do n’t return to the checkpoint for treatment as soon as possible, let alone they have no vitality, and even more people will die ...
Taking a breath, Elt smoothed his chest and made a military salute: "Captain Frey, please help me dig a grave." After nodded with certainty, he hurriedly walked towards the dead soldier.
"It's a decisive man!" Frey glanced at Elt's back, feeling quite admired.
Tang En nodded silently. Obviously, although this Elt was also saddened by the death of his subordinates, for the sake of more soldiers' lives, he decided to deal with this matter in a somewhat cruel way.
Looking around, Frey pointed to the leeward side of the low hills next to the road and said to the soldiers who came to report, "Take some brothers there to dig a grave, quickly!"
"Yes!"
This unexpected incident was dealt with very quickly. Elt stood silently beside the soldier. After a minute, he stroked the other's eyes that were swollen with pain, and then picked up the body and just dug it. Going to the grave, he did not go through the silent ritual and buried it directly.
Looking at Elt's eyes coming slightly red, Frey sighed and waved his hand, just before ordering to set off, arms out, and frowned at the two figures coming forward.
Needless to say, that is naturally a scout that the members of the gray space act. Generally, during the march, even if there is no special situation, scouts will return to report to their superiors within the prescribed time.
But now the situation is a little different. It is just in a hurry. If there is no special situation, they only need to show their figure in the heights and appear in Frey's sight, but now they are coming back in a hurry ...
It didn't take long to guess, just as Elt came over, members of the Grey Space quickly rushed to the front.
"Camp Frey, three kilometers ahead, a caravan is approaching this side, the number is about 200."
Tang En couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Caravan?" This is a battlefield.
"Damn!" "This treasonous roundworm!"
Frey and Elt both seemed to know something, their faces were sinking at the same time, their anger was raging, and they yelled.
Looking at Tang En's doubtful look, Frey explained: "If you haven't guessed wrong, this group of so-called caravans is smuggled in the North Wilderness ... The North Wilderness is freezing in the cold, the environment is bad, and it is not suitable for crops. It ’s growing, and things like cattle and sheep are not enough for them to fill their stomachs. It can be said that they are basically in a state of semi-famine for many years, so they will sometimes cross the border and come here to grab things. "
A little pause. Then he said, "It is precisely because of this situation that some profitable guys in Bran's country will smuggle food, cotton clothes and other things in order to make huge profits. It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason why there is more than a year in the northern wasteland Offense. Their credit is also indispensable! Huh, what they gain is the benefit, and our soldiers will pay the price for their lives! "
Tang En nodded suddenly: "So it is, um, does Bran care about it?"
"Of course! According to Empire law, as long as you are caught smuggling, you will be on the gallows. But the fact is. This situation is still repeated!" Frei shook his head helplessly. The benefits are so rich that the gallows can't stop the greed of smugglers. And ... "
Glancing at Elt, Frey said, "And there are still many noble figures in it. The general merchant group may be afraid of the law, or they may not be able to get together these things that are strictly controlled in wartime. But for The aristocracy is not a problem. They have a relationship that can avoid the law to the greatest extent. They also have the means to get these things. So as long as they have the courage, smuggling is not a problem for them. "
"Take the current caravan, this is a military area, and because of fighting, it has long been martialized. But two hundred of them, plus cargo and other vehicles, can swagger across the blockade and appear here. This must be Which link went wrong. And this is definitely not just a matter of money. Border soldiers may not have the guts. They are crowded and easy to make mistakes in operation. Only a certain nobleman uses relations to reach cooperation with officers. This is only possible. "
He squeezed his chin. The head of the head expressed his understanding, and Tang En turned his head and asked Elt: "Well, there must have been arrested. What will happen to the soldiers when they encounter these smuggling?"
Elt was looking at Frey with some suspicion at this time. The other side was too clear about the doorway, as if he had been here before ... He licked his chapped lips, and replied: "This must be Depending on the situation, if it is normal, even if the soldiers encounter these smuggling, they will not take them, eh, or dare not. Of course, they will also take some money out to pay respect, some receive, some No, but in the end they basically let them go. "
He paused, "But when fighting like this, the nobles who are hiding behind do not dare to mess up. The soldiers have an option to kill all the smuggling caravans. Here is the battlefield, the dead are normal, It is difficult to detect. This can both resolve the hatred of the heart and get these smuggled goods. The goods can be delivered without the need to be controlled, which is a customary rule and a reward for soldiers. Of course, After these goods are exchanged for actual money through the black market, it is better to check everything in order to avoid possible trouble in the future. "
"It's still the same ..." Frey whispered and said softly.
Elt glanced at Frey again, and he could confirm that the opponent must have been on the front line.
"What do you do now? Ignore them and pass directly?" Tang En looked at Elt and asked, of course it was mainly them, but now Elt's side is obviously more urgent, so it still depends on his opinion .
After a little groaning, Elt's eyes flashed sharply and he looked up and asked: "Brother Tang, Captain Frei, I know you are very strong and the soldiers can fight well. Well, take the liberty to ask if you try your best How long does it take to annihilate this smuggling caravan? "
Down and Frey looked at each other and raised an eyebrow. Touching his nose, Tang En said, "This depends on the strength of the opponent ... Well, if it is normal, it should be resolved within a few minutes."
"Any? A few minutes?" Elt was shocked, both a little confused and shocked ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We shot a little strangely. Explained, scratching his head, Tang En said for example, "Just like your epee battalion ... well, like the general Bran Soldier Battalion, if you do n’t know our existence in advance, and we are attacked successfully by us It should be just a few minutes. "
Is this what it means in general? What a joke ... Although Tang En re-ported in time, Elt knew that the other party was using his epee battalion as a general standard, and he was naturally a little dissatisfied. But now is really not the time to lose his temper. Since Tang En dare to say so, and that Frey has not shook his head against it, there must be two brushes ...
At this point, Elt gave the palm of his hand ninety degrees and gave a big gift: "Please also take your shot, um, I would rather waste this few minutes than want to eat hundreds or thousands more on the battlefield in the future. The barbarian opponent who is full ... There is another reason. The brothers died a lot this time, many of them are ordinary soldiers, and their family cannot receive much pension at all. I know where the black market merchants in Passa Checkpoint are located. You take most of the money, and I send the rest to the fallen brothers. Come on! "
