As a female medic, Ruthia volunteered to take on the task of interrogating the Phos soldiers, which surprised the male soldiers around her.

As Lucia's fiancé, Brandon was the most surprised, because the Lucia he knew had always presented herself as gentle and virtuous. How could someone with such a personality interrogate a captive? Could he use love and magic to move her to obediently confess?

But Lucia has stepped forward confidently; she's serious.

"Here you go." Brandon handed the knife to Ruthia. He didn't think Ruthia knew how to use a knife, but having it would at least intimidate her.

“I don’t need this.” Ruthia waved her hand with a smile. “If you can, Brandon, could you sharpen a few toothpicks for me?”

"Toothpicks?" Brandon paused for a moment. What use were toothpicks? Had he eaten too much for lunch? But he still did as his fiancée suggested, breaking off a bamboo twig and using his military knife to whittle it into several thin toothpicks.

"Brigade Commander, what kind of information do you hope to get out?" Ruthia asked, standing next to Zhang Fan.

Lucia truly impressed Zhang Fan. Was this the same girl who had been driven to the brink of collapse by the Phos soldiers? Moreover, Lucia was the only female soldier who could calmly observe the scene inside the pit.

Zhang Fan briefly told Rusya what information he wanted to know. In fact, he didn't know what he could get out of her, so he let Rusya do as she pleased and get as much information as she could.

After receiving Zhang Fan's authorization, Ruth looked around and finally selected a collapsed house, where four male soldiers escorted the prisoners inside.

"Let me go, I can walk by myself!" The Phos soldier laughed wildly as he arrogantly strode into the stone house. "I'd rather go through fire and water than not be a man!"

Although the house has collapsed, the four stone walls are still intact, and you cannot see inside from outside.

After Lucia entered the stone house, it remained quiet. The Phos soldier also stopped shouting, making everyone curious about what was happening inside.

However, the stone wall was too high; even if people outside stood on tiptoe, they couldn't see inside. If they climbed on top of the stone wall, there was a risk of it collapsing, so they didn't dare to be so reckless.

Soon, the stone house was surrounded by curious people, but everyone obeyed the rules and no one pushed the door open without permission. They just craned their necks to peek inside.

Clang!

The door was pushed open from the inside, and a male soldier stumbled out, throwing himself on the male soldier closest to the door, startling him.

The male soldier who came out of the door was frighteningly pale, and his eyes showed a fear as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?" The male soldier recognized the one who had thrown himself on him as one of the four male soldiers who had been responsible for escorting the prisoners of Fass inside.

The pale-faced soldier didn't speak, but waved his hand and patted the back of the soldier lying down: "Brother, let's continue, I need to catch my breath."

Then, the male soldier was inexplicably pushed into the door, and the male soldier who came out sat down on a stone base, closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh air.

Everyone around was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Clang!

A few minutes later, another male soldier, pale-faced, pushed open the door, grabbed a male soldier outside, and shoved him inside.

"Relay! Relay!"

The male soldier who came out looked around a few times, and then sat down on the stone base.

Huh... what's going on?

This made the surrounding male soldiers even more curious, but those who came out waved their hands and remained silent, unable to find out what was happening inside.

A few minutes later, another male soldier pushed the door open, grabbed a male soldier, and shoved him back inside.

"Relay! Relay!"

Then he sat down on the stone base, put his hands behind his head and didn't say a word.

Time passed by, and the stone base, which was more than ten meters long, was filled with more than thirty people.

Zhang Fan was annoyed by what he saw, so he went over to the last male soldier to come out and asked, "Hey, I'd like to ask you, what did Ruthia find out while she was interrogating the prisoners inside?"

"Brigade Commander, she hasn't even started asking questions yet," replied the male soldier who had just come out of the door.

"No." Zhang Fan was stunned. "It's been almost an hour since we went in, and they haven't even started asking questions yet?"

“Yes.” The male soldier wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “The prisoner’s mouth has been gagged with cloth the whole time, so he can’t speak even if you ask him.”

"This..." Zhang Fan was about to ask further when he was interrupted by a scream.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"That's not fair! Why don't you ask me a question!"

"I'll tell you everything, ahh ...

"Hehehe." A girl's cheerful laughter rang out from inside the door. "Sorry, this is my first time doing interrogation, I have no experience and I'm not very good at it. Why don't you teach me? What should I ask you?"

"Aaaaaah! Stop! I'll tell you everything!"

"Hehehe, but I really don't know what to ask." The girl laughed even more happily.

"You can't just interrogate people without asking any questions!"

"Ask me anything you want to know, I'll tell you everything—"

"Stop it!!"

"I am a corporal in the 3rd Infantry Company of the 12th Army of the Fashan Army. My name is Sena. When I was nine years old, I peeped at my female neighbor taking a bath..."

"Who wants to hear this! Get to the point!" Lucia interrupted the Phos soldier...

Things went very smoothly from then on. Zhang Fan not only obtained the information he wanted to know, but also gained a lot of additional useful information.

The row of male soldiers sitting on the stone base all looked at Brandon not far away with sympathetic eyes.

Once upon a time, these male soldiers were envious and jealous of Brandon for having such a beautiful and charming fiancée, but now they only look at Brandon with pity.

How am I supposed to live with a wife like this?

Brandon felt uneasy being stared at by so many eyes and wanted to go inside the house to see what was going on.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Ruthia came out. The male soldiers sitting on the stone base spontaneously made way for her. Ruthia walked to Zhang Fan's side and reported the information she had gathered to him.

Just two days earlier, more than a thousand miners and their families in this settlement were massacred because they were unable to deliver enough food to the Fashi Khan army outpost 10 kilometers away.

This is a mine, not a farm; demanding grain from the residents is an unreasonable request. They practically squeezed out every last grain they had stored to scrape together half of the amount the Phos soldiers were demanding.

Even so, this place still could not escape the fate of being massacred.

As for why this Phasian soldier turned back, it's because this is a gem mine, and the residents here wear jewelry to some extent. He sneaked over during his patrol, hoping to make a fortune off the dead.

Oh shit!

Zhang Fan entered the stone house, intending to teach the Phos soldier a lesson, but a few minutes later, he also came out, pale-faced, and sat on the stone base.

Is that thing even human? This is the first time Zhang Fan has ever seen a person whose entire body has no intact skin.

Ruthia was a medic, and Zhang Fan knew a little about medicine, so Ruthia would often come to ask him questions during their breaks.

But I taught you how to dissect insects, not how to use them on humans!

"That's great," a male soldier nearby muttered to himself. "It's wonderful that Ruthia is Brandon's fiancée."

“Yes,” another male soldier agreed wholeheartedly. “Ruthia is on our side, that’s really great.”

"If I were a Phos soldier, I would rather die than be Lucia's prisoner!"

The male soldiers around him nodded in agreement.

"cut!"

After reporting her work, Ruthia gave the male soldiers a disdainful look and returned to her medical team.

It was from this moment that the 102nd Airborne Brigade's Devil Medical Team was born. This strange team, which would be described by future generations as "killing more people than saving," would, under Ruthia's leadership, become the most feared team in the 102nd Airborne Brigade.

That's a story for later. Right now, the new recruits of the 5th Company of the 102nd Airborne Brigade are facing an important choice.

"According to intelligence, there is a Fas Khan army stronghold 10 kilometers ahead of us, with a company of troops, about the same number as us."

Zhang Fan looked at the new recruits around him. Even though they were the same number of people, all in the same company, they lacked weapons and were at a disadvantage.

"What should we do now? Go around it?"

"Circle?"

The male soldiers all stood up, stretched their limbs, tilted their heads left and right, and their necks made a cracking sound.

"Of course, we'll just push it through."

They were no longer the same group that had been led around by five Phasian soldiers a month ago.
